There is a grizzled old armadillo at the meeting point, deep in the quarry. Luminous crystals provide faint, ambient light, but most of the local light comes from a small lantern the old being carries. Nearby, an old, but sturdy looking elevator with a complex rope and pulley system hangs over an open mine shaft.
Siyu adjusts his gloves and makes sure everything is on tight, boots, gloves and leather armor is all prepared and ready to go. His long hair tied back in a braid, "Well then, this is exciting isn't it. Exploring new and potentially unique things deep in the heart of Promise." he tries to sound encouraging as he looks over the elevator system.
Angus grunts in answer, his weapons belt jingling from his movements as his eyes take in the passage in the light from his torch. "Last time I went exploring we almost got eaten. Should be interesting." He answers cryptically, stopping near the Armadillo to tip his cavalier hat in greeting. "Evening, you were the one that put up the job paper at the freeswords?"
"Don't you worry none about that old lift," the armadillo chuckles, "Sturdy as stone, she is. And you boys are in the right place." The old miner, for surely that is what he is, taps on the supports of the elevator and grins. "Nah, trouble comes from deeper down. Sent a fella down there a couple of days ago and he came back up raving about rainbows and fairies and such. Me'n the boys, well, we'd like to open this old shaft back up for business, but this is sounding like one of them Spirit-y things has gone and moved in! Just like that other place down the way." He waves a hand vaguely toward the giant mushroom forest.
Siyu nods a bit to Angus, "Well almost getting eaten is better than getting eaten, so you have that going for you." he says with a salute to Angus. He looks back over to the Armadillo, "Raving mad huh? Could be a bad case of mine gas or something." he purses his lips and considers, though at the mention of the spirty things he looks back over to said mushroom forest, "Or right, we're in a forest of mushrooms, that could do it too." he looks back at Angus, "What do you think?"
Angus turns to investigate the mushrooms, guess he had missed that as a brow raises. "What in the creators name have I missed recently?" He asks bluntly, before stopping himself to pursue these thoughts before he turns around. "Nope, don't bother. One situation at a time. If it's a spirt thing then all we need to do is be cautious." He juggles his gear a bit, passing the torch to his right hand while gripping his staff of Ser'ther in his left quietly.
There are a few yellow, slightly luminous mushrooms here near the shaft, but nothing like in other parts of the odd cavern. "Anyway," the armadillo says, "We just need you boys to head down there and make sure that the place is safe and not too. . . y'know. . . other worldly, I guess. If'n it's just mushrooms or somethin' we can work around that."
Siyu nods to Angus, "Well there could be worse things in caves them mushrooms right?" he chuckles at the Armadillo, attempting to keep things jovial, though he does look a little concerned. "Still I'm sure we can handle it, after all, we're quite well equipped for anything that might come along." he turns back to the elevator.
Angus was already stepping up onto the elevator, sighing a little as he grips the staff tightly. "Right, lets get this over with." He comments, trying to hide the fact that the elevator itself was making him more nervous then dealing with a spirit.
The Armadillo nods and moves to the heavy winch system. "You boys all set?" he asks, then without waiting for an affirmative, he starts to lower the cab down the shaft.
It is only moments before the narrow mineshaft is dark, aside from a tiny square of light above, and Angus's torch. The cage itself moves slowly, occasionally scraping the sides of the stone shaft. Did the old miner say how deep this thing was supposed to be?
Siyu steps on with Angus, "It's all right Angus, at least someone knows were down here, they Freeswords do. I'm sure they'd send out a search party for you! You're an important guy!" he waits for the crane to start and listens to the sounds of the winch and the earth. Adjusting a few of the mathrunes on his gloves, making sure he has them ready. "The pulse of the earth feels pretty strong, I wonder what they primarily mine out of here."
Angus grips his staff a little tighter, tilting the brim of his hat to hide his eyes and his sight as the walls close in. "That's not really that assuring, especially since it's not just me down here. But I appreciate it." He answers, the torch crackling a little in his right hand as it throws shadows across the stone. "No clue, hard metals is what I know from the mines, other then that I'm not fully sure when it comes to the mines when it gets this deep. Question is how deep is this damned thing?"
This damned thing is surprisingly deep. It is a long, rattling trip down the shaft. Or maybe the old miner is just slow. Eventually, the cage rattles to a jarring halt.
The shaft opens out on the front side into a fairly large room. It looks like this place saw quite a bit of activity once. There are even a few old, rotted crates and barrels lying around, along with a few mining tools. The cavern itself is not especially large, but the ceiling is high enough for even a heavy clanner to stand upright. straight ahead, a tunnel leads further in. Whatever they were mining, there does not seem to be any of it left here.
Siyu listens to the creaking, "Pretty damn deep I guess. I am curious why they dug it straight down like this, perhaps the rock above is poor in minerals. I wonder what the layer is below us." he tries to stand up on his tip toes to pat Angus on the shoulder, "It's all right Lord Solacious. It'll open up soon I'm sure." he says, and soon enough there's that thud of arrival, "And here we are." he looks around, giving the main room a brief inspection. The rodent searches for a torch of his own to see about getting some extra light. "It does look as if it was abandoned for quite a while before he sent his fellow miner down here." he notes
Angus sighs as they reach the floor, ears perking as he realizes he has a hand on his shoulder. He chuckles a little. "I'm okay, a bit of a tight space isn't going to rattle me that much." He answers, holding his torch a little lower to see if he can't Siyu find himself one. He sniffs at the air, taking in its scent as his gaze swings over the shadows in the long corridor.
