Gundren Rockseeker is a mining dwarf. He knows everything there is to know about mining. He has a sixth sense for the location of valuable minerals, he can take twigs and mud and reinforce a mineshaft half a mile deep with it, and his pick digs deep with every strike against the rock. Recently, he's come into possession of a map, allegedly leading to the famous lost mines of Phandelver, overflowing with valuable minerals. He's set out with towards the town ahead of his supply wagon along with his trusted friend and ally Sildar Hallwinter, with the wagon of supplies following behind, protected by something like eight or nine people, who vary from "scary gladiatrix with long history of bloody arena combat" to "foppish bard who may not have ever once been in a fight in his entire life." And that range is for just the bards in the party.<br/><br/>The party now trundles alongside the wagon full of supplies on their way to Phandolin from Neverwinter, for what will undoubtedly be a completely uneventful and routine caravan trip during which there will not be any ambushes or natural hazards whatsoever.<br/><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/iKmxpsJ.jpg)
