The human shrugs his shoulders. Kashin has his own people that purchase ore from miners, not necessarily a standing order. That being said, if it is for Kashin, its 100% Bauxiliam Ore. This mountain is the only provider of the ore on the continent and it's full of magical properties. If you go back towards the way you came in and instead of going straight to us, you would go to your left. Travel down that tunnel for a bit then take a right. There should be some more miners that can direct you from there.

Many thanks. I hope your miners recover well from the collapse. Edwin says, pivoting on his heel and striding purposefully back towards the intersection, intent on following the human's instructions.

Kozma will acompany, whilst telling this grand tale. . But its about an evil spirit the dwarfs believed to be trapped in the mountain.
[ +- ] Cave Ghost story
The legend states that many many years ago.
In this very mountain was a ferocious beasty. Many a race were slewn by this beasty until 1 BRAVE indvidual came in with his crew of comrades. Came and slew this beasty. They say that this battle took place over many weeks and it tore most of this mountain asunder.
Before the beast fell all of the soldiers were slain save 1. With a giant shake of the mountain, and just he right timin, the Brave Solider toppled the beast. With such tremindous power and will he also sundered this mountain. Kozma makes wrestling moves and shadow boxing moves/ Later on after these mines were opend one miner stumbled across some remains. Only can thought to be of those brave soliders that faught this monstrosity.
Kozma drinks a bit from his waterskin. Upon the inspection of the bodies something sinister could only have been the cause.
The healers said their body was there... and so was their soul/spirit. Many say that till this day these spirits rome these tunnels slaying thoes who don't they don't seem fit to live.
But then again, there are just those freak accidents that just murder many miners.

As you make your way through the maze-like tunnels, following the instructions the human gives you, you manage to make it to a group of miners, primarily dwarves with the foreman being a tall, gray human. Keep it up boys and drinks'll be on me! He shouts encouragement to them.

Well met there. Edwin says, raising an arm as they approach. I'm here to pick up a load for Kashin's shop. Urgent business for the king. He offers plainly.
Mar 7, 2018 7:31 pm
Bauxilium Ore I assume? Yeah, that tunnel is closed. The human says and turns back to his workers.
Mar 7, 2018 7:51 pm
Aye, bauxilium ore. Tunnel closed or not, the king is depending on the item from Kashin, and that can't be done until we recover the ore the gentleman was supposed to receive. We were told you could provide further directions. he says, feeling a familiar dislike for administrative red tape rising up in the back of his mind.
Mar 7, 2018 7:55 pm
Feel free to enter the tunnel yourself, but there are spirits in there that my men don't feel like fightin'. There's some pick axes over there you can have. He points to a pile of axes.

Guille wonders why that human dismissed our inquiry so quickly.

From best you can tell, the man has a job to do which doesn't include dealing with you guys. He also seems genuinely fearful of the deeper tunnels.
Mar 7, 2018 10:01 pm
Well, we were sent here for a job. We should complete it. With that I pick up an axe and wait for the others to enter the mine shaft and retrieve our ore.
Mar 8, 2018 2:26 pm
It may be dangerous i'll accompany you as part of my duties to the city. I mean it would look bad if the kings men were slain in the mountain. If ya catch my drift.
Kozma grabs a pick and goes in lastly.

Edwin sighs. Note to self. Next time, get an express written order from someone with real authority. No reason we should be swinging picks and moving dirt, damn it all. he thinks to himself as he picks up a pick.
Any clue how much Kashin was supposed to receive? Or should I be seeking out someone higher up in the miner's guild to report your inability to fulfill the king's request? he says, before preparing to follow the others.

No clue, but I'd get as much as you can carry. He usually pays about 200 gold a pound to whomever brings it to him.
