You open the wine with the corkscrew. The blacksmith smiles and serves two cups of deep red wine. You raise yours in a toast, but only pretend to sip, you can't drink tonight...

He drinks deeply, the wine is strong, and he quickly starts to tell you gossip about the townsfolk. When you ask about the nobility, he takes another cup and says. "That fool, the Lord of the city, wants his little magic stone to be safe. He made me build the box, which looks like a wardrobe. I don't know why he's obsessed with it, it's just a teleportation item, I've seen many of them on my days."

"Another drink?" You offer, sliding his cup closer.
He takes a look at your cup and says that you are not drinking, and real men empty their cups.

You have a few options to think about:

• You can try to convince him to lend you the gauntlet for tonight but you have to drink, or he will suspect that something is wrong.
• No drinking... now that he's a bit drunk, you can use a knife to kill him and take the gauntlet.
