Hold on a moment, Player. Do you have any plans for Kromede's Tear?

Sure, you could wear it as a necklace, but that'd be neglecting its true potential.

Smelting it and then coating the Pistol of the Judge with it would create a powerful new weapon.

Player: "How would we do that?"

Well, apart from the Tear itself, you'd need to track down a master blacksmith with the proper equipment. Good thing for you I'm here!

All you need to do is recover the Pistol of the Judge, and we'll be in business.

Player: Accept.

Taking me up on my offer, are you? You know, you're a fortunate Daeva. There's only a few people in all Asmodae who can perform this process reliably.

If you recover the Pistol of the Judge from Kromede the Corrupt in the Fire Temple of Morheim, I'll show you why I'm one of those few.

Player: "The task is mine."

You're back. Do you have both the Pistol of the Judge and Kromede's Tear?

Just hand them over and I'll get started immediately.

Player: "Here they are."

Eh, what's this? Player, I said I needed both the Pistol of the Judge and Kromede's Tear.

I can't do anything without them both.

You can trust me with them. I am, after all, a master blacksmith.

Player: "Okay..."

Shards, that was difficult! I'd forgotten how much of a challenge pistols were to work with.

Don't worry though, this is a masterpiece. Go ahead, take it.

I'm going to go lay down for a while. You can find your way out, I'm sure.
