Perhaps our luck really is starting to turn around.
|
To be honest, I wasn't sure you could pull it off.
|
But you did, and I'm a man of my word. Come with me.
|
I hope you waited for the sundrops to wear off. They work wonders in the dark, but in the light of day they'll only bring you pain.
|
<sigh> Every time I step out of those mines the sky seems to get brighter. I'd never leave them if the air weren't so stale...
|
But you're not come to hear my grievances. You're after leonine.
|
First, I have to ask─you ever heard of rockworms?
|
Rockworms? I know them by another name, though I'm fairly certain the locals call them knockers.
|
Aye, that they do. Whatever you want to call them, those little bastards may be the answer to your troubles.
|
They can fit through cracks and crevices down there we could never hope to reach.
|
And, on occasion, they come back with something valuable.
|
They dig up leonine in the mines?
|
It's a rare occurrence, but yes. That said, it usually amounts to no more than a few flakes.
|
Well our only other option sounds tantamount to suicide. So how can we draw out these rockworms?
|
Over by that shack you'll find a bag full of smoke bombs. Set off a few in the mines and you'll flush them out in no time.
|
Once they're out in the open, knock 'em senseless and check their backs.
|
I should warn you this method of mining, if you can even call it that, is used as a last resort on account of what little they're like to bring back. You'll want to cover as much ground as you can if you hope to find anything of value.
|
Assuming you do find something, bring it here and I'll have a look.
|
We should split up if we're to cover more ground as he suggests. If you can cover these three areas on your map, I'll see to the parts between them.
|
The smoke bombs are on top of the crates next to the shack just over yonder. You can't miss them.
|
I see you've got the smoke bombs, but they'll do you no good out here.
|
Light them in the mines and the rockworms will come scampering out before long.
|
I found my fair share of rocks. Hopefully there's leonine among them.
|
There you are. Find anything promising?
|
Between the two of you I'd say you've got quite the haul.
|
Best get comfortable, friends. It's going to take time for me to sift through all this.
