[Forging Society, Foundry]
Waves of heat, blasting with an almost tangible force, roll from the flames of a brick-lined firepit.  Over the firepit, a blackened granite crucible hangs by stout chains from an oak beam high overhead.  Near the crucible's spout stand stone molds of different shapes, with a pile of fuel within easy reach.
You also see an ingot cutter, a large waste bucket and a pile of fuel.
Also here: Sorrower Sonjaa.
Obvious exits: east.

stir cruc with rod

You plunk the stirring rod down into the oozing metal and churn up the contents using a paddling motion, as though rowing a boat.  You do not even need to glance inside the crucible to know the mixing is going great.

As you complete working the fire dies down and needs more fuel.

>
stir cruc with rod

You lean over the crucible and begin to stir the soupy mixture using broad strokes of your stirring rod.  The smelting proceeds exceptionally well and free of mistakes.

Upon finishing you observe clumps of molten metal accumulating along the crucible's sides.

You feel fully prepared to cast your spell.

Sonjaa gestures at you.
Sonjaa fixes you with an intent stare.  Confusion clouds your mind, filling you with a growing conviction that it might be better to be elsewhere.
Abruptly, you lose all track of why you were intending to engage Sonjaa.  You find yourself contemplating small, furry animals.
You flee east.
