Talk with Colter.

You find Colter stoking the flames of the forge, a rusty axe and several split logs nearby.

"You got it burning." You observe, making Colter jump.

"Sorry," Colter replies, looking to you. "I was lost in thought. Yes, I got the forge burning, but that won't matter until we have some iron. I already searched the mansion, there's nothing here."

"So we need a new source?" you ask.

"Yes, and I know just where to get it."

"The blacksmith" You finish for him, understanding his idea. "I doubt Catherine will miss us stealing from her supply."

"She will if she is locked in our dungeon." Colter says, a wicked grin creeping onto his face.

"True," you reply, your own grin rising to match Colter's "Leave it to me, I'll get you your metal, and your woman."

Colter nods, beaming, before returning to his tending of the flames.
