Back to Temple hill
Thank you, priest. I shall come at the hour you say," responds Alastrine. She goes to find a place to rest for she has work planned for the evening that is exhausting but pleasing.

When Alastrine encounters Hograth on the way find an inn she hears his kind offer and says, "Please, keep it for now. It is exceptionally kind of you and very appreciated. I will need funding a a later time to make myself some nicer armour, but tonight's task for me is to make something worthy of Hephaestos as a donation to his temple. Perhaps, at a later time, I may make something superior for you that could go some way towards repaying such a sum of money. You may wish to consider what that may be. But now I need to go rest in readiness for this evening."

That evening at the temple Alastrine gratefully accepts the facilities offered and, after paying for materials to be used, works skillfully and diligently, guided by her magicks, to make a very nice large knife. Virtually unable to stand after her labours the woman sits for half an hour, resting and consuming some of her food and water. Feeling a little better she thanks the acolytes saying also, "I believe that was successful and I plan to return to speak with Priest Alvin in th morning after a somewhat late breakfast."
She teeters back to the inn to sleep like one poleaxed.
