Abandoned Mine

Just a stone's throw west of the quarry, one can find evidence of mining tracks. Bent signs tacked to trees, tracks of mining carts and vehicles still pressed deep into the earth. Following the rocky dirt road will lead to the entrance into a mine, partially boarded up with signs warning of danger.

The tunnel within slopes downwards, stone and dirt and timber beams shoring up the sides. Broken lanterns hang from pegs along the sides. If one listens very carefully, the silence is broken by dripping water underground. The main shaft descends towards the south, openings along the east and west side giving way to narrower shafts that empty into caverns. The walls show signs of mining, here and there an abandoned and broken down mine cart rests on rickety tracks. Here and there, in the mined caverns, there is evidence of campsites and perhaps even human life that has since departed.

There are four accessible levels of the mine, going deeper and deeper into the mountain, the ruin and despair growing ever noticeable the further down a traveler ventures, until they find themselves in the lowest level with nothing but rot, rust, darkness and worse...
