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)

The girl, who introduces herself as Samantharina says"No I just come down here to see if the water was dangerously filthy, I entered through a man hole just a few meters away." She also tells you she only became a Darkonian so that if she ever met a Jigjam (Darkonians and Jigjams are rival clans) they'd probably try to kill her on sight, and as most Jigjams are professional bounty hunters it should be quick and painless. Supposedly she's a emo.

"I know all about that," I reply candidly, "one of the kids at the trash-house tried to get high licking toads. I found him blow'n chunks in the alley later that night." I laugh at the fond memory and join Alazzander on his spot of dry land.

As you set set up camp (optimistic expression as you don't have any tents or fire wood) Alazzander takes out a phone, getting no reception he dissolves to a game which looks like a hybrid between snake and tetris. Penny focuses on endlessly polishing her dart gun.
As the sun starts to set Penny declares it you duty to keep watch first and promptly goes to sleep using a possum she tranquilized as a pillow. Alazzander uses his folded up medical coat. Weirdly almost immediately after the body-guard falls asleep the sound of night creatures becomes veritably louder.

Samantharina replies "If I had joined up with the Jigjam's I would be a target to Darkonians, and many Darkonians are mafioso's. Sure I appreciate being wrapped up in a nice rug after dying but I'm looking forward to getting a nice gravestone."
It's getting a bit darker as you move deeper, with only the slices of light from old manholes entering the sewer-pipe. There are more bits of green gem splintering the tunnel walls here.

I clutch the hagwraith to my chest and rock back and forth in my place, muttering the lyrics of 'Break On Through' quietly to myself, "Try to run, Try to hide..."

Ironically as you starts the next line something brakes through from the other side of the bracken and stares at you with wide yellow eyes. It a strange entity about 2.5 feet tall with milk white skin and mitten-like hands.
(This isn't the first creature like this, so if you'd like to see a picture of one go to page 21, a second post down.)

The sodium is fairly soft for a metal at is distorted quite easily, the dead end is slightly curved but quite sudden and made of that same rough black rock.

The gems don't emit light, but light that filters through them bounces around and makes them glow slightly when they aren't in the dark. You brake off more gem, but feel eels brushing past your feet in there creepy,creepy way and see a swarm of them rushing away from back where you came from.

Insects? If I only had something gluey... Anyway, I attempt to run from the swarm, without heading too deep into the cave (I mean, not going to the point where I can't see anything).

You go back and continue hacking at the sodium, until a slab the size of a slice of bread brakes off.

As you start to run the eels overtake you, and Samantharina runs into vision, waving her arms wildly and cackling madly. "That'll do eels." She says triumphantly.

You continue sifting through the grey water but don't find anything. The other miner, shows you an array of golden bits he's found as well as an old wedding ring covered in bite marks.

Penny has her dart gun in her hand before she opens her eyes, and Alazzander lurches upwards shouting "Liver Transplant!" The entity reals back fearfully and Penny shoots it in the ribs. Plucking the dart from it's ribs it frowns before pronouncing "I seepy." I swiping Penny's tranquilised-Possum-pillow and going to sleep on it.
