The entrance is very unstable, with parts falling to the ground. As you enter, the walls have been crudely chipped away to make the path to the old mine. There is trash from the previous miners scattered on the dirt ground. Rocks are all around the area, where one would stumble as they go inside. It used to be a very productive gold mine, now falling to bits. There are broken lanterns, with shattered glass.
Gold Mine, Abandoned
old homeless man
miner
I am a miner who works in a dangerous mine. I do not enjoy being dirty. I make sure to get paid fairly for anything I trade.
I get paid fairly, but it's a dirty, back-breaking job. Are you guys hiring right now? I need a job and willing to learn how to mine! We might be able to find some work for you, but these mines are treacherous. And you're a very old man. I don't care! I have nothing and I wish for a better future. Please give me a chance. Here's a pick - follow me and you can get started. Thank you so much and god bless you! Can I ask you a question while we walk? What's that, friend? I'm homeless right now, can I stay at your place for a while until I make enough to get my own place? First you need a job, now you need a house, too? Yes, that is correct. You can stay with me, but only for three nights. My home is small and I do not intend to take in boarders. I promise to pay you back for your hospitality. One more question, what is the axes for?
