"Oh your quite the craftsmans Sir Artificer." Sir Dwarf said helping and admiring his smithing skills.
"Thank you Sir Dwarf. I have to do these on a daily basis thanks to the number of quest we've all been on together." The Artificer said with a smile as he got back to work.
It has been two months since the Artificer has joined Goblin Slayers party and needless to say they were tough fights and really put the Artificer to work especially when it came to times fighting non Goblins like the Earth Dragon they came across; that encounter made him use up alot of his equipment. But he couldn't complain these adventures were fun and they made him stronger... Even with a few close calls he had with... Giant Frogs a week ago.

"Wait you want me to do what?" The Artificer asked Lady Ranger as she caught him in his newest shop he had set up near the guild.
"I want you to join me on this giant frog killing quest... The others didn't want to join since I'm doing it to pass the time today."
"Your just bored aren't you?"
"I-I-I'm not bored! I just wanted to do it for the reward."
"Hm... I saw the reward the restaurant is wanting to do Giant fried Frog legs since they are in season and depending on how many you kill you and your party will get to eat for free." The Artificer said welding some parts together with his magic chisel not seeing the blushing pout face on the Ranger.
"Argh! I wanted it to be a surprise but you already knew?!" She whined leaning over the counter nearly touching his head.
"Well I did see the quest prior to you coming here... Hm?" The Artificer looked up seeing the Elf's face very close to his as she still had her pout face on.
"Ok but will you still come with me? It's always better to do quest with another person!... Hehe besides wouldn't like to show off your newest inventions?" The Elf smirk crossing her arms as the Artificer looked down holding his chin thinking.
"Hm... Ok... I'll come... Only one condition though."
"Yes?"
"You use these." The Artificer said bringing out a quiver of light metal arrows with runes on them.
"Hm... Can I still use my bow?"
"Sure and you can bring your arrows just in case."
"You got yourself a deal." The Elf said putting her fist on his chest smiling at him.
Later at the Marshfields not far from the town.
"Now that I look at these arrows did you make them similar in design to elven arrows?" Ranger asked inspecting one of the arrows as she sat on top of a tree while the Artificer was under her looking through his goggles view the frog she was about the attack.
"Yes it should be sharper and deal more damage and if you read out the rune on there it'll transform into a special elemental arrow."
"Ok... This is... Hey what's this one?" She asked showing him the arrow.
"That's Bal."
"Bal ok I got it... Bal..." She said releasing the arrow as it didn't drop speed and transformed into a flaming arrow going through a giant's frog head.
"I got it... Man that is useful."
"Phew glad it worked... The others are Elding, and Friosa." The Artificer said grabbing his Naginata wanting to go and fight some frogs.
"These arrows are light and flow with the wind perfectly." She said taking another shot.
"Well that's good to he- Ahhh!"
Chomp!
