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
miner
thief
I live alone in a tent in the woods. I steal food from the townspeople and coal from the blacksmith. The village police can not find me to put me in jail.
Oooo, what do we have here miner? Just a simple miner in a gold mine. Is this here free for me to take? Finders keepers! Do what you want, there is plenty here. I will do a little mining of my own then. What is left in the old path?  Nobody really comes down here much these days, as you can see it is somewhat unsafe. Still plenty around to mine though. Very dangerous but worth the treasure, what are you doing here alone? To me it seems the best way to make money, with most unwilling to come down here prices have been up as of late. Oh, you don't say? What are they up to now? I cannot imagine, maybe mining something less worthwhile perhaps. How much can you get for this gold? The going rate has been 1200 coins per ounce.
