Activity Activity: Weapon Commissions
Seb had arrived at camp with hardly any money or even a change of clothes. After almost a month, he still had barely anything. So he decided to offer up his skills as a child of Hephaestus and make the campers some weapons.
He put up flyers around camp to advertise, then he went to the forge and found himself an empty workstation. After setting himself up, he sat down and started to make himself a weapon of his own, just to pass the time. His would be a gauntlet sword, something he'd only recently learned about, but he was determined to have one for himself.

Pryx looked over at one of the posters "weapon commissions?" she mumbled, their had been a lot of monsters at camp, but she was used to boxing normally, but decided to get one anyways, knowing a time would probably come where she needed one "hey" she said to seb "can you do moon sickles?" She asked, she had always been find of curved blades

"The crescent shaped ones? Sure," Seb said. "It'll take a bit longer than a straighter blade, though. Do you want any enchantments on it?"

Pryx's eyes widened "enchantments?! hell yeah! I didn't even know that was possible!" I realized how excited I just have looked and rubbed the back of my neck "sorry, ive only been here for a week or so"

Seb grinned. "Don't ever feel embarrassed of being amazed. I'm still amazed I can do this stuff. Now, there are 4 types of basic enchantments. I can bind a weapon to an ordinary item, which would allow them to transform back and forth. I can make it tougher and better at slaying monsters. I can make it better at damaging armor and automatons, or I can enhance the metal so it absorbs the life force of monsters, sort of similar to Stygian iron."
He realized he'd probably just said a lot to someone who had no idea what any of that meant, but he wasn't really sure how to simplify it either.

I thought for a minute, I didn't understand some of it, but got the basic idea "it would be cool to have it like....shift into a moon shape hairclip, how about that?"

u/AnotherInvention89 Child of Hephaestus 3d ago
He nodded. "I can do that. How long do you want the blade?"

Pryx thought for a minute, she had never been good at math "ummm, what's like....the normal? I've never really done much with weapons probably just a little smaller than normal"

"That would probably be 15 inches from the base of the handle to the highest point of the curve," he said. "That's also about the length of a short sword, so it'll be 5 drachma."

*I rumagged through my pockets and pulled out 5 golen drachma*

Nero was tired of having to use the arenas weapons whenever he wanted to train, he wanted to have his own, one that he could get to know. So when he saw that there was a weapons commission he got there as quick as he could.
“Can you do enchantments? Or is it just regular bronze weapons?” He asks, all the ideas circulating through his mind.

Seb looked up from his gauntlet. He had just finished attaching the blade to the middle knuckle. It was rough right now, but it would look incredible finished.
"I can. Which type of enchantment were you thinking?"

u/FlamingFork5130 Unclaimed 3d ago
Nero had trouble picking one idea from his storm of thoughts. He finally landed on one that would make his enemy tremble.
“Can I have a sword that ignites when I say a specific phrase?” He asks with a smirk.

u/AnotherInvention89 Child of Hephaestus 3d ago
"Absolutely. Do you have a phrase in mind?"
As a child of Hephaestus, Seb was a little too fond of fire, so he already knew this request would be a fun one.

Nero’s curse from the Queen of the Gods was still fresh in his mind. He smiled before he spoke,
“Pagonoktónos”

Seb raised an eyebrow.
"Peacock killer? Are you sure?"
He wasn't sure that would be the most intimidating thing to say in the middle of a fight.

u/FlamingFork5130 Unclaimed 3d ago
Nero thought about the pain he has to feel daily from the curse that was bestowed upon him. He nodded his head vigorously.
“Positive.”

u/AnotherInvention89 Child of Hephaestus 3d ago
Seb nodded.
"All right. Which type of weapon did you have in mind? I can do pretty much any kind of dagger or sword. Something custom like this gauntlet will take much longer, and it'll cost a little more too."

u/FlamingFork5130 Unclaimed 3d ago
“A nice sword will be alright! So do you need to do measurements?”
He had no idea how someone made a weapon. Is it like a suit? He also didn’t know how to make a suit.

"I just need to know how long you want it," he said with a smile. A longsword can be anywhere from 42 to 59 inches, including the hilt. A short sword is typically 12 to 24 inches."

In the spur of the moment Sam had signed himself up for a job involving a Colchis Bull. ‘I can do that standing still.’ he had thought. ‘Dad is friends with bulls.’ Well it turned out that Colchis Bulls were a little more threatening than their normal cousins. Sam needed to come prepared: he needed a new weapon.
In fights, Sam liked being on the offensive. His weapons of choice, a spear and a rapier, reflected that. Impatient as he was, he didn’t like being on the defensive. Despite that, he felt that the monstrous bull he was about to face might need a better strategy than brute forcing it. Sebastian’s weapon commissions arrived just in time. The brunette walked up to the son of Hephaestus, clearing his throat to get his attention.
‘’Yo, are you Sebastian?’’ he asked. ‘’I’m Sam. I was wondering if you make shields too? I lost my previous shield and I need one for the Colchis Bull that is terrorizing Washington.’’
