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
peasant
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.
Hello there. What brings you to the mine? Are you here alone? Yes, I am here seeking work in the mines. And yourself? So you say your alone, eh? Would you have any coin for a man that is down on his luck? I spent my last coins on some stale bread. I had to feed my family something. Well maybe I can find a coin or two you forgot in your pockets. What are you doing! Just be quiet and go to sleep. Yes, once I knock you out I will see if you have no money or not. Get off of me you cur! Oww you filthy devil, you bit me.  You would attack an old, poor peasent trying to feed his family. There's a special place for people like you in the abyss! Hey now, I was just messing around. Don't you dare bite me again. God will take care of you one day. You will get whats coming to you!
