B. Continue Deeper into the Cave: "No time to dawdle. I should keep moving and see what else this cave has to offer."

Encounter with the Olm People by the Underground Lake
Choosing to delve deeper into the cave, Urist continues his journey. The cavern opens up to reveal an expansive underground lake, its surface still and reflecting the dim light from above. As he approaches the water's edge, Urist is surprised to find himself not alone. Emerging from the shadows are the Olm People, a tribe living in this subterranean world.

The Olm People are humanoid but with features adapted to the dark, damp environment. They have pale, almost translucent skin, large, sensitive eyes adapted to the darkness, and long, slender limbs. They move with grace and quiet that speak of their intimate knowledge of this underground realm.

Initially cautious, the Olm People are curious about this surface dweller. Their leader, a wise elder with markings of experience and knowledge, approaches Urist. Through a mix of gestures and a rudimentary common tongue, they communicate.

The Olm elder explains that they are guardians of the underground lake, a sacred place that provides them with sustenance and is central to their way of life. Intrigued by Urist's presence, they offer a temporary truce and an opportunity to learn from each other.



Options for Interaction with the Olm People
A. Learn About the Olm People: "I'd like to learn more about your tribe and how you survive in these depths."

B. Ask for Guidance Out of the Cave: "Can you guide me to a way out of this cave system? I need to return to the upper levels of the mine."

C. Offer to Help the Olm People: "Is there anything I can do to help your tribe? Maybe there's a way I can repay your hospitality."

Exploring the Unknown Cave
Urist, bolstered by a mix of curiosity and necessity, decides to explore the vast cave system he's fallen into. He grips his pickaxe a bit tighter and begins to tread carefully into the unknown, guided only by the faint luminescence of the glowing fungi.

Options for Exploring the Cave
As Urist ventures deeper, he encounters several pathways and features within the cave:

A. Follow the Flow of a Underground Stream: "There's a stream here, flowing gently through the cave. Following it might lead to an exit... or something else."

B. Investigate a Cluster of Brightly Glowing Fungi: "These fungi are glowing much brighter than the others. Maybe there's something special about them or the area around them."

C. Descend into a Narrow Crevice: "There's a narrow crevice leading downwards. It's a tight fit, but it might open up into something larger or lead to a way out."

A.  Lets get some gold in pocket to start with.

A: Gooooolddd

First roll, got a 3!

Result of Exploring the Narrow Vein - Partial Success
With cautious steps, Urist navigates the narrow vein, pickaxe in hand. The space is cramped, making it difficult to swing the tool effectively. Despite the challenge, Urist manages to chip away at the vein, revealing a modest amount of gold ore. It's not a vast deposit, but it's certainly worth the effort. However, during the excavation, a small rockslide is triggered. Urist skillfully avoids any serious injury but finds the path back slightly obstructed. It will take some effort to clear the way out.

A. Clear the Obstructed Path: "Better clear this rockslide before it becomes a bigger problem. It'll take some effort but safety first."

B. Scout for a New Vein: "This vein was a good start, but it's time to find a richer spot. Let's scout for a new vein in the Mid-Depths."

C. Do something else.

B Would have gone to the deepest part of the mines but we don't have fire protection so the mid areas will work for now.

(B, if it ends up tied.)

The Mid-Depths



A. Explore a Narrow Vein: "This narrow vein of gold looks promising. It might be tight, but it could lead to a rich deposit."

B. Investigate a Dark Cavern: "There's a dark cavern off to the side. It looks risky, but who knows what treasures or secrets it might hold?"

C. Shore Up a Crumbling Passage: "That passage over there looks unstable. Maybe shoring it up could reveal a new area or provide a safer route for future explorations."

What thread was that meant for?

A healing potion seems like a good thing to have on hand, I say we get one.

You buy a healing potion.



You leave the market and travel to the entrance to the mines.



Dwarf Miner: "Ah, greetings! Name's Durnar. I've been delving these mines since my beard was but a stub. Let me give ye a quick rundown of what's what down here in Deepdelve. First off, there are three main areas to keep in mind. The Upper Tunnels, the Mid-Depths, and the Inferno Pits. Each has its own... charm, and dangers, mind ye."

A) The Upper Tunnels: "Here's where most new miners start. It's relatively safe, and ye'll find plenty of iron and coal. Good for gettin' yer feet wet, or should I say, yer boots muddy!"

B) The Mid-Depths: "Now, if ye're feelin' a bit more adventurous, the Mid-Depths is where things get interesting. Silver, gold, and the occasional gemstone. But watch out for the cave-ins and the odd critter lurkin' in the dark."

C) The Inferno Pits: "This is where only the bravest—or the most foolhardy—dare to venture. Recently, we struck a vein of some strange teal-colored metal. Never seen anything like it! But the heat down there is nigh unbearable. Ye'd need some serious protection against the fires if ye're thinkin' of goin' that deep."

How do you respond to Durnar?

Bruv is stepping down as guild master because I'm to busy to run dungeons anymore. Sorry for stringing everyone along for so long. I'' still participate as an adventurer though.
