In the early morning light

[Malachi]

Malachi can be seen walking outside the Inn before the first light of morning. He heads towards a large pile of semi-cut stone, selects one, and sets it on an old tree stump. He looks at it, makes a few marks with a piece of chalk, and takes his hammer and a chisel from his belt. He sets the chisel on top of the stone, and takes four small crystals from his pouch. He sets them in slots on top of the hammerhead and mumbles a few words. The crystals melt into the hammer, and it begins to glow. He picks up the chisel and lines up the first blow.

"Well, here we go."

He begins humming a song as the first blow shears off one side of the stone. Any close inspection shows the side to be flawlessly cut as though a master jeweler had spent hours on it. He begins to sing in elven. As the song goes on, the pile of semi-cut stone begins to transform into a stack of cut stone, ready for building.
