The chest contained a selection of chisels, hammers, planes, saws,
drills, screwdrivers and the like, as well as nails and screws. Fred
wondered whether the items had been stolen from a workshop used by the
dragon's servants, as he doubted whether the community that he had joined
would have been able to make them themselves.
"I can't see any tools here that would need my 'strong arms' to use," he remarked. "And in any case, I have no experience of carpentry. That was not something that an Allarian noble needed to learn." Thomas smiled. "That is not what we need you for. As you observed, the cart is very sturdy. That is because it will have to transport something heavy. Your task will be to help us lift that item into place. Then it will need to be securely fastened to the cart. We don't want it falling off while it is being moved. It will also be better if it cannot shift about when it is being used, as that would reduce its accuracy." "Accuracy? Are you talking about some sort of weapon? But if it is going to be so heavy, surely even on a cart you could never get it through the tunnels to a point where it could be used against the dragon."
