Two weeks through wilderness and open country but finally the base of the mounting lay before the Adventure Quest member Galan. The journey here had not been easy but it had not been too fraught with perils. The task set before the brave warrior was simple. He was only sent tin investigate the area and to report back with why the mine had gone silent. There had been no word from this place for at least a month. A small caravan had been sent a few weeks ago and they never returned. Instead of sending more supplies the guild was asked to send some one to check it out. They did not think any thing other than a few bandits or well the couldn't be sure. With out any really knowledge the guild master asked one of his seasoned members to go and investigate it.<br/><br/>"Look we don't really know what you are walking into out there so please be careful. We don't have any mages to spare at the moment so I figure your skills should be enough....if it is not please contact us through the stone. We don't like sending members out alone but unfortunately that is what we have to do in this case. Be careful out there and stay alive."<br/><br/>Before him stretched a dirt trail that he was told would lead him to the miners camp a half a days travel up the base of the mountain. He had been told there were at least 30 miners mostly dwarfs there. They had been thinking of setting up a dwarven town there to make mining the precious metals there easier. The place was known for some of the more rarer metals in the land. They wanted to know what they where walking into before sending a lot of people possibly to there death. The area for the moment was deathly silent.
