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
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.
Oh, hi....I didn't expect to see you here. What are you doing in the gold mine? Hello there! What brings you to the gold mine? I'm looking for a place to sleep and always looking for things I can sell to make money to eat on.  Are these broken lanterns yours? No, just the meat. This place is so dirty. Look at all this trash!  I guess the lanterns must have been his  *gesturing to the ghost of a miner*  I can repair them and sell them! That sounds like a splendid idea. Would you like some help? Yes indeed, thank you!  I always accept help! Ok, let's get to work.  Thanks so much.  Be careful of the broken glass! Ok, just tell me what to do. I have no idea how to fix these things.  First, let's see what's broken on each.  These two need new glass, and those two need new mantles.  I think we can make two full lanterns between them!
