He was cleaning.<br><br>The Yalaini mage, ancient of days but still strong and energetic, bustled about his domicile with a broom and dustpan. A kettle heated up over a cookfire, and carefully prepared snacks had been laid out on a table in which Harlune, the self-titled Misanthrope, had entertained very few visitors during his long years in this isolated location.<br><br>His visitor arrived a few moments earlier than expected, trodding quietly into the larger cavern from the tunnels. When confronted with the sight of Dereth's most famously misanthropic wizard on his hands and knees in a dirty robe, scooping up dust in one of the far corners of his cave, Ben Ten could not stifle a surprisingly girlish-sounding giggle.<br><br>The noise startled Harlune, who leaped into the air and landed in a defensive position, left hand crackling with arcane energy and right hand wielding a short broom in a most threatening manner. The realization quickly came to Harlune that he was not the target of an attack, and that he was brandishing his broom like a staff of arcane power. <br><br>Ben Ten laughed again and held out her hands in a gesture of mock surrender. “I mean no harm! I am but a humble old woman, come to seek the wisdom of mighty Harlune!”<br><br>Harlune dropped the broom and kicked it behind him. With an embarrassed grunt, he muttered a quick spell, summoning enough a handful of fist-sized tornadoes to blow the remaining dust piles into the edges of the room.<br><br>“Don't mind the mess, m'lady,” Harlune muttered as Ben Ten stepped all the way into the room. “Caught me a few minutes early, is all. Forgot how much trouble it is to clean this cave.”<br><br>Ben Ten bowed. “I am honored that my visit occasions such effort, Master Harlune.”<br><br>Harlune waved his hand dismissively, as if ashamed to have been caught expending effort. “It was the least I could do, since you are such a gracious hostess when I come visit your cottage.” He looked around the room and hustled to the fire to take the kettle off the heat.<br><br>“Please, have a seat,” he said, motioning to a low table and stools that he had dragged out of storage for the occasion. He poured hot water from the kettle into a teapot and returned the kettle to its space by the fire. “I've made tea, and have prepared some snacks of my own. Not as nice as those sweet bean buns you make, but I think they're pretty tasty.” He poured tea from the pot into two elegant ceramic cups, which seemed new and a little out of place with the rest of the cave's décor.<br><br>Ben Ten moved to sit by the table. She ignored the stool that had been set out for her and sat cross-legged on the floor opposite Harlune, evidently taking great pleasure in being waited upon. “Very fine tea, Master Harlune,” she complimented him after sniffing the cup he set in front of her. Her attention then drifted to the food on a platter in the center of the table. “What delicacies have you prepared?”<br><br>Harlune pushed the plate forward. “Some of my favorites from local cuisine… These are minced Mite-meat and potato pies, and the sandwiches are made with jellied Ursuin livers and forest greens.”<br><br>Ben Ten, a disciplined warrior who had faced down untold numbers of the most horrific beasts Dereth had ever seen, blanched slightly. She gingerly took one of the meat pies and took a delicate bite. “Mmmm… Quite… well seasoned.” She chewed quickly and swallowed, then set the pie aside and took a big gulp of hot, near-boiling tea to conceal the expression on her mouth.<br><br>“Well, the tea and crumpets are on the table, so I suppose it's time to get to business,” Harlune said, oblivious to Ben Ten's reaction to the food.<br><br>“Yes, that would be most welcome.” Wasting no more time, Ben Ten drew a sheaf of papers from her pack and set them on the table. “We have numerous scout reports to review. Once we have decided upon a course of action for each matter, I will send out our dispatches.”<br><br>Harlune nodded knowingly as he took a big bite out of one of the Ursuin liver sandwiches. “What's the first order of business? I know you wanted to talk about those bandits holing up near Baishi, since that land is near and dear to your heart. Or should we discuss what the Apostates are up to? They've been too quiet lately…”<br><br>Ben Ten shook her head. “I am concerned about bandit activity, but I am not sure the matter will require our full attention. And yes, we should discuss the Apostates. There is some strange activity in the Mhoire graveyard as well. But perhaps the most interesting matter concerns an old friend of ours…”<br><br>As Ben Ten spoke, Harlune finished off a sandwich and picked up a meat pie next. He was chewing on a large bite of it when Ben Ten continued. “Lady Aerfalle has apparently finally found a way to access the ley line that runs beneath her keep on Aerlinthe.”<br><br>Harlune almost jumped again. “ ‘Struth!” he exclaimed, food spraying from his mouth.<br><br>Ben Ten discreetly picked a piece of chewed up Mite mincemeat out of her teacup and set the report down on the table between them. “Yes…” she said slowly, staring at her teacup. “It's a great shock to us all.”		\| Text = In his cave among the northern mountains and forests of Osteth, Harlune was doing something that he had rarely done in all the years that humans had occupied Dereth.

	\| Text =		\| Text = It appears that due to how the old hilting system functioned you are currently not able to apply a hilt to an item that has been tinkered. This does cause difficulties with imbuing items (due to the timer on obtaining hilts) and tinkering them. For now you will have to hilt then tinker. I'm going to work on removing the requirement on hilting that an item not be tinkered.

			\| Question = It blows my mind that you could have released without this in place, because you're going to need some sort of flag that says allow a hilt on a tinkered 420 wield but jesus h christ NO don't allow a 1.75-7 dagger to be tinkered then hilted!<br><br>This isn't a bug. This is a complete lack of necessary tech. This is gross negligence, and you could have and should have delayed release of these daggers and swords until a later patch if you have no system in place to differentiate them.
			\| Text = I'm very uncertain as to where you received information that caused you to believe this to be the case, it isn't. As stated it's an issue with how the hilts functioned. The word "system" doesn't mean code or tech, system generally means a series of design elements.

			In order to allow us to tinker hiltable weapons we actually had to make all new weapons and add them to the loot profile, so new daggers/swords had to be released with loot upgrades.

			You can certainly hilt then tinker a weapon for now and in the next update you should be able to tinker/hilt in any order.
