I can make it worth your while in various trade goods, metals, gems, or rare liqueurs from far away lands."  With the last comment both men glance sidelong at the drunkard.  Samad speaks again followed by translation. "We are also leaving this town in a few days.  But if you feel you are not the master blacksmith this town seems to think you are, I am sure one of your competitors will be able to finish the job."
