Clankerton bowed his hed as Teacher Ot outlined the history of the masks and that their previous owners were likely dead.
"Restinpeace," he murmured through his soot stained beard.
He studied the rhinocerous mask with interest as its properties were explained.
"PleasetransfertomymaskTeacherOt?" he asked if none of his peers expressed interest in it. He pictured demolitions and mining with such an artifact covering his face and grinned.
The next day Clank was happy for the interuption by Esi to declare the new student arrival. He nodded at Teacher Ot's meaningful look, clearly these students had responded to the apparent psychic call. He spent a little bit of time studying vibrations and how it can break materials like glass. He wondered if he would be able to construct just a device. Perhaps after a few more years of study here at the Mgaambya? Combining magic and technology was something he had not had a great deal of success with yet. He had hoped to make more progress almost a year into his time here, but he was enjoying himself with both his study and their extracurricular activites. It woudl come soon enough.
When the griffons revealed themselves Clank took once glance at the frightened anadi and the determined looking teacher and set himself for battle. He pushed the button to activiate his suit. He had spent much of the previous evening tinkering, repairing and buffing his suit. It roared to life with an efficient burst of smoke. A broad grin broke out on the dwarves face.
Raising his shield he stumped himself into position in front of Teacher Ot and the Anandi and waited for the griffons to attack.

Notes: From a line of famous smiths in Dongun Hold, Clankerton has been fascinating with creating things since a young age. And sometimes destroying them. Whenever he is deep in thought, or otherwise preoccupied, Clankerton will absentmindedly construct/desctrut things as he thinks. An inquisitive soul, he is always asking questions to understand how things work, or why things are the way they are. Clankerton likes to build and create as a way to help others and the communities in which he lives. He loves seeing the looks of amazement on the faces of others whenever he builds something new and wonderful. Clankerton's main flaw is that when he tries to explain something to otheres he usually ends up speaking too quickly and very few can follow and understand him. Relatively tall for a dwarf, Clankerton keeps his beard trimmed short and out of the way. One can't be too careful with getting it trapped in a new creation. He keeps his black hair thick and brushed back so his bright green eyes can see what they are doing. Often slow to respond emotionally, he nonetheless has a bright smile that comes out when he is interested in something. When concentrating Clankerton has a habit of sticking his tongue half out of his mouth. His family had tried to sponsor his entry into the Magaambya to see if learning magic can add value to the family trade. He was unfortunately refused as it was unclear what alignment modern technology had with the teachings of Old Jatembe. They switched focus into getting him into the Blythir College in Arkenstar. He was accepted but recently... expelled in suspicious and frustrating circumstances.
