In the year 2034... Mining can be dangerous, being crushed, suffocated, or trapped and starved to death are only the usual risks. You could also be redirected into the sewer and drowned, shot by other rogue miners, or eaten alive by monsters from the depths. But they pay is good, the right merchants will pay handsomely for minerals or metals, and the wrong merchants will pay the gear you steal from other miners. To start your life as a miner fill out the character sheets below.
Also spend you starter money for gear at Godmund's Shop. (Note: Weapons will stay in your items list and not under arms until you choose to equipped them)

You soon come across a large messy nest type structure made of damp hay, there's a unpleasant scraping sound coming from inside.

"Well here's the crux of the matter, what do we do with your friend?" We can't afford to carry him if we leave now, and the men here could have a problem if we leave him behind." Alazzander comes into the room and affirms this. "It's your call."

"Well he's quite intelligent, if a tad naive, and the dude did save my life back when I first got into mining, but since then I've been kicked around by mustached drunks, hassled by the cops, beaten, broken, ripped-off, and worst of all banned from the pub" I reply mulling over the decision in my head. "I think it's time to cut ties."
Before leaving I jot down my goodbyes on scratch paper:
Hey buddy, we had some good times but I'm a run w/ the terrorists for a while now. We may cross paths again, probly not though. And don't ever forget,'Snitches get Stitches' Yours truly --Lurch

After Alazzander says his farewells to the other rebels the three of you set off through a trapdoor inside the bunker. This leads into a long narrow tunnel, after a hour of having to breath the dry chalky air in the tunnel you enter a chamber open to the sky, there are several trees growling in the flooding sunlight and Alazzander advices picking some fruit to eat along the way

I reach up and pick one of the low-hanging fruits, relishing a breath of fresh air after being underground for some time. "I could seriously get used to this," I mumble through a full mouth.

You scour the floor around the nest, there is a few bones lying around and- actually there are quite a lot of bones strewn upon the ground. Among the ivory piles you find a charged speed-loader. (A circular ring of metal with spaces for ammunition cartridges that matches the size of a revolvers cylinder, used for faster reloads.)

Whatever fruit you picked seems to have a defense mechanism for being eaten by the wrong species as the originally sweet flesh turns rapidly sour. Alazzander keeps trying to find a item of fruit to eat but Penny keeps stopping him, because she fears they may be poison.
Alazzander: That one looks tasty. Penny: That's a Harrow Fruit they're deadly poisonous. Alazzander: What about that one? Penny: They taught me that that one would have you vomiting your guts out for hours. Alazzander: Did they tell how it tasted? Penny: Keep moving.
Eventually Alazzander finds a single tiny little withered berry that Penny tells him is fine to eat.

I sell the white rock for its price. Decide to keep the yellow one. I try to argue for more, regarding the price of the barb-spitter.
