[ obvious exits: W ]
The master blacksmith's forge is here, blasted by a fierce fire.
A master blacksmith is here, hard at work.

* HP:Healthy MV:Strong > give receipt blacksmith
You give a receipt to a master blacksmith.
A master blacksmith tells you 'Your hands are a bit full, you might want to make some room.'

Very kind of him to say that I can't hold the weapon he's finished for me, but kind of annoying that he won't at least drop it or the receipt. Any chance we could get him to do either for future mishaps such as this one?

Have you had a rogue check whether the weapon is in the guy's inventory when this happens?

Actually I did. I created a newbie, got em level 5 and got 99% steal. In the blacksmith's inventory was the receipt and no matter how many times I tried helping him let go of the ticket, it always failed.

A few hours later though, a kind Immortal helped me and had the Blacksmith drop the receipt. (Thanks again!)

Good, that gives me a start at looking on how to fix that.

why not just give him the same script or w/e as the weary merchants who drop all every couple of tics or so.

Weary merchant doesn't have any script to drop things every few ticks. It's triggered by something else.

However, if you give 1 gold crown to a master blacksmith, he'll drop the stuff he's got left in his inventory.

Fairly certain steal is level based (your level vs the target's level). Master blacksmith mobs are probably pretty high level, so a level 5 won't have much of a chance of stealing the ticket afaik. Could be wrong though, could just be like a shopkeeper where you simply can't steal from them no matter how many times you try I think.
