He was a rogue by trade, and we had many adventures together. I remember one time in particular we went to Freeport, I think I was selling some basic tinkered items I had made. He was doing something he wouldn't tell me about. We were staying at this inn that had a locked door that he seemed preoccupied with gaining access to. He did a lot of planning, timing guards passing by, checking how often the chambermaid would come through to check on the rooms. He asked for my help and we sprang into action near midnight! He snuck quietly down the hallway, making sure not to cause the wooden floor to creak (which had earlier in the day). He was quite stealthy, I watched from the end of the hall to let him know if anyone was coming. Once he got to the door he reached deep into his pocket. He then pulled out.. Nothing! He had forgotten his lockpicks back in Ak'Anon. I tell you, he was furious. I had never seen and never would see him so red in the face again. So I decided to make a set of mechanized lockpicks that fit into a pair of gloves. I took a pair of Chainmail gloves, and attached a device to the top of it. I took a set of mechanical lock picks and attached them to the gloves with a pinion. To set the switch on the gloves I used a coiled spring and a ball bearing. It uses a class six mana battery to keep it in constant working order. I am sure that he would have liked to have had these gloves back on that hot summer night in Freeport. December 22nd - - - - - - - - - - - I felt the sudden urge to go fishing, but realized I only had one piece of bait. As soon as I thought of it, it came to me. I can simply add one of my perpetual air pumps, to a base prototype along with gnomish bolts, metal twine, and a planing tool. I will also need two matching gears, but I cannot seem to find the right gears here. Something is making me think of an underground area, but it is not clear to me why. Well, it will have to be a short fishing trip.
