Quest Summary:

An artisan is injured and in the temple after inhaling some foul smoke that has been eminating from his forge for days now, no matter what he has tried, the smoke will not dissipate and its not only caused him to be unable to work, but recently to start coughing up blood. Finally, he decided to call on adventurers as a last resort, he could not pay them much, but told them he would craft them something once they were successful.

Travelling to the man's shop, they almost had an encounter with his scrap chute, luckily moving out of the way in time and avoiding a harsh fall on top of a soot and scrap pile. Once confronting the forge directly, they realized the smoke was not as mundane as they had hoped, and was in fact a dual elemental of air and fire, a Smoke Paraelemental. Its effects were dangerous and inhibiting as it wafted into the lungs of the adventurers, causing them to convulse and cough up blood as well, however, working together, they manages to vanquish the paraelemental and free the old man's forge once more for use.
