<strong>Location:</strong>Professor Durgan's Worshop<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Clio Dewalt<br/><br/>Grunting in approval, the dwarf shook her head, then turned around to go get something.  Grabbing a ladder, he started checking through some of the cupboards, apparently in search of something specific.  "Now, my normal task for aspiring students is that we have you handle crafting something, anything, and what you decide to create and how is how I judge your methods."<br/><br/>As he moved along, he was having trouble finding whatever it was, going through all sorts of odds and ends.  "Where is the blasted thing?  However, I've met Old Redbeard, and I know his talent well.  If he vouches for you, I think you can do a little better than that."<br/><br/>As he looked, Clio saw one of the original posters of Conroy Steelfoot (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344099.msg16256856#msg16256856) through the poorly-illuminated workshop.  It looked like an original, one of the limited edition and signed posters he had made back when the son of Dian Cecht was just starting out and trying to make ends meet with some basic merch.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0f/Bubo.JPG)</div>Finally he found the thing he was looking for, carrying the metallic object down to let her see.  It wasn't until the light hit it just right - this room was fairly dark - that she was able to make out the features of the metallic owl.  "I don't know if this is the original Bubo given to Perseus or not, but it was given to me by a Scion of Hephaestus for a favor.  What I want to know is: if you take him apart, will you be able to put him back together again in a way where he'll still be able to work?"<br/><br/>The clockwork owl definitely hadn't been well taken care of.  It would be a wonder if it even worked now.  Basic maintenance was an obvious necessary; Clio was smart enough to know that Professor Durgan knew that, and that it was part of the test to remove and clean all the internal gears and such as part of the process.<br/><br/>However, she had an entire well-stocked workshop to work in.
