 This estate is the main hose hold of the Fujiko clan as well as a shrine to the spirits of nature and water. The temple is fairly large and site on an island in the middle of a lake while forest and swamp surrounds the lake. The temple isn't very difficult to find however it is harder to get into. They aren't seen very often but a few crocodiles live in the lake so swimming is not advised. Plantains also grow on the trees that surround the entire lake. [To find the temple you must make a search check of DC30. To search for and pick plantains you must roll a DC10. And to enter the temple you must have a Fujiko show you how or make a swim check of DC20 and three consecutive handle animal checks of DC 20 for the crocodiles in the lake. Also, if you are trying to get Batou Fujiko to craft you a weapon then you must make a diplomacy check of DC44 against his bluff. And then another diplomacy check of DC130 to negotiate with him.]

Batou stood at the temples edge starring down into the water while listening to the wind. It was quiet as it usually was at the temple. Batou had finished cleaning up the temple as the elders had instructed him to and now he was bored out of his mind. He thought about going into town for a while but people usually just pissed him off. Like at the ramen shops they served too slow and on the streets people just got in the way. But where he was, it wasn't like that at all.

When Wrath arrived at main house entrance he gazed at the complex. It seemed a lot bigger last time he was here but at least this time he knew a better way to get in than swimming. Wrath then walked over to a nearby tree and walked up its trunk and jumped from limb to limb until he landed on a tree located on the small island. Once he was there he jumped down from the branch he was perched on and walked toward the main house.

Wrath walked around the main house looking for his uncle and found him staring down into the lake. Wrath asked Batou if he would craft him a pair of master work bladed knuckles. And at first Batou's response was a hostile, "Make em yourself." But in turn, after much arguing, Batou agreed to make them for his nephew and told him to come back later tonight.

After Wrath had left Batou entered the main house and looked around one of the storage rooms were they kept materials such as wood, steel, iron, paper, and much more. Once he had found a sheet of steel he locked up the room and exited the main house from the back. Out back was a small hut like building that was similar to a large shed. He walked over and into it with the sheet in his hand and placed it on and anvil that was inside the hut. This hut was actually where Batou crafted.

After preparing his tools and the furnace he began to work. He cut out the general shape of each knuckle with a hammer and chisel. Once both halves were cut he individually placed each knuckle into the furnace instead of together as a pair. He then closed the door of the furnace and shifted to it's left side.

Shifting himself to the furnace's left side, Batou kneeled down and began feeding the fire. He used a small manual air pump to intensify the flame. Sitting there for sometime he stopped pumping. Batou then stood up and reached over to his work table grabbing a pair of tongs while wearing thick heat resistant leather gloves. Upon opening the furnace door he reached into the furnace with the tongs and gently grasped the scolding hot steel.

He set the first piece of hot steel on the anvil and then quickly put the second knuckle in the furnace and shut the door. Returning his attention to the hot steel on the anvil, Batou held the steel down on the anvil with the tongs and then grabbed his hammer. He began pounding the steel not paying much attention to the sparks flying off. He continued pounding the steel and shortly after he stopped, opened the furnace door, and placed it beside the first knuckle.

After setting the second knuckle back into the kiln and took out the first one and shut the door. Batou placed and held down the knuckle on the anvil and began hammering it just like he did to the previous one. His arms were partially covered so he wasn't burned much by the sparks. But he was also used to it so it didn't faze him like it used to.

Batou stopped hammering again and carried the knuckle back to the kiln and opened the door. He placed it back into the fire and took out the other knuckle. He returned to the anvil continued the process of flattening the steel. And every so often he would turn over the steel and hummer the opposite side.

Batou finally stopped hammering all together and placed the steel he was just hammering back into the kiln. He set down the hammer and his tongs and returned to the kiln's left side and fed the fire with the small air pump. He slowly pumped instead of quick like he had done earlier. After a short time had passed he stood up and opened the furnace door.

Batou reached for his tongs and grabbed the first knuckle out of the kiln. He shifted his body to a tube of water and submerged the hot steel. He cocked his head back to avoid the steam that emitted from the tub. When the smoke started to dissipate he removed the steel from the tub and placed it on the anvil.
