[Phase 12] Tinto's exploration into the Tinto Mines

[Axiose]

uwangski, Aesir and Shad4k head into the Tinto Mines in search of treasure for the Republic. After many longs hours, that began to creep into days, the exploration crew began to feel lost. Feeling a slight breeze uwangski decides to follow it hoping it will lead into friendly territory.

Aesir alerts the others about something that appears to be following them through the shadows and so the explorers pick up pace, keeping their weapons at the ready--a loud crash from above makes the adventurers leap back just in time to avoid a cave in and without warning the thing that was following them attacks.

"Quick! Down here!" yells Aesir to uwangski as he half carries-half drags Shad4k. Heading deeper into the caves with the undead creatures keeping close in tow, the trio comes across a large opening smelling of rotting flesh. Without a further thought, Aesir uses his magic to seal the entrance to the opening blocking off the dead.

Using more magic to light the large space the group investigates finding thousands and thousands of dead men and women, many of them miners. Aesir and his surviving magicians begin to carve a fresh but dangerous tunnel in the mines hoping to find freedom.

Fortunately the dead seem to be uninterested in the goods found by the miners and so the remaining soldiers in Lilly's Loyal Guards begin to load up as many goods and riches as possible. After several days trapped in the cave, the Tinto explorers find freedom close to Crom's Desert.
