The tailing pile is massive, but amongst the dirt that's piled into a steep hill there are old wheel barrels and steel helmets used by the old miners. In the same pile of dirt you can see remnants of torn clothing and broken tools that once belonged to the old miners. The dirt pile is eroded away at the top from the wind blowing it away over the years.
Tailings Pile, Mountain

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.
What are you doing here? Did you lose your hunting partner? Woof! He was hunting down by the old field where all the rabbits are, but then he was gone. I started trailing a rabbit and it led me to the Tailings Pile. Do you think something bad happened to him?  Grr! I don't know, but I fear it did. I heard a yelp or a scream before he went missing. Do you have any ideas what happened? I'm not sure, but I could come check for a bit? I am a miner so I need to work soon. Please, follow me to the field. Perhaps he fell or... I don't want to think it... but I heard there is a witch on those fields. A witch? I too have heard that, but it probably isn't true. Grr.... probably not, but stranger things have happened in these lands. He was last right here when I heard him yelp. But I see nothing. Have you checked for his footprints or any tracks? I followed his scent for a bit, but it just disappeared, just like he did. Oh, what will I do? Hmm perhaps we should see if there really is a witch, as she might be able to explain, How do we hunt for a witch? I have never seen one in these parts. Although there is an old hut over there that might be home to a witch.
