>>5694769>>5694783>>5694784>>5694789>2 Passes = Madam Ith will let you stay for as long as it takes for you to escape the city."Please Madam Ith it shouldn't take me too long to get out of this city, and I'll be very careful coming and going no one will ever know that you helped me you have my word. Besides I was hoping to see Joz again, and since you said he visits here, staying would be my best chance to see him again. Please Madam Ith."
Madam Ith's lips work hard trying to maintain a stony face, and her hands are gripped white knuckled to her skirt as she listens to your plea. Finally she sighs deflating somewhat, " All right I can't say no to a friend in need you can stay here for as it takes, just make sure that you bring no trouble to my door, am I understood?"
"Yes Madam I promise not to bring harm to this place,"
"Good, I have a spare room you can use."
Madam Ith shows you to the room, it's rather simple, but the bed is comfortable and you should be safe here while you plan your escape you thank Madam Ith profusely and tell her to let Joz know you're alive should he return while you're gone. You then depart for the blacksmith hurrying to use the last few hours before curfew sets in to get some equipment.
You turn the corner onto the street where the blacksmith's shop is, but immediately have to step back around the corner as two Gerudo hauling a wagon full of crates trundles down the street. As they pass by, you notice that their cargo looks awfully similar to the shipment of equipment you and Joz picked up for the garrison. You wait until the guards are fully out of sight before heading into the blacksmith shop inside. You hear the clanging of metal and the grind of steel on stone. The blacksmith is hard at work banging the dents out of some armor that is obviously of Gerudo make. While his apprentice sharpens a simitar on a grindstone. Neither of them notices as you enter the shop and you have to shout to catch the attention of the apprentice who stands up from the grindstone approaches you without setting down the scimitar.
"Sorry sir, but we're not taking any new business at the moment, the Gerudo have conscripted us until further notice."
You'd suspected as much when you saw the cart full of gear, but having the blacksmith's apprentice confirm that they're working for the Gerudo sinks your initial thought of just asking politely or paying for some simple equipment.
> If the blacksmith is working for the Gerudo then he’s unlikely to be willing, or able to help you, you’ll have to find another source for equipment.> If he’s been conscripted by the Gerudo then that makes the blacksmith and his equipment Gerudo property, which would mean taking a few things from his storehouse wouldn’t technically be stealing, Right?> Even if he’s working for the Gerudo for the moment, the blacksmith is still Hylian and you might just be able to barter or cajole the gear you need out of him yet.>[Write-in]
