Going through the orc's pockets rewarded Joli with 16 gold coins as well as a clear white diamond, about as big as the end of her thumb. It was cut into a polyhedral shape, its ends sharp, the jewel seeming quite flawless, though not a perfect cut. Still, something like that would definitely be worthy a fair share once sold, and small enough to fit into jewelry yet large enough that it could be broken down into smaller diamonds if necessary.<br/><br/>Druk looked up as she moved to head off, the weapon and clothing falling down the mineshaft with a clanging noise as the club hit the floor somewhere below. The steps inside the hatch's passage were made from steps chipped into the stone itself. Not comfortable on the hands maybe, but certainly sturdy. The passage down was also not that wide, she could fit down it, but she could lean back to the wall behind her as she climbed, and would still have her feet on the steps. All in all, it seemed a lot safer than the worn out old steps on the little side-tunnels before and besides the mineshaft she had dumped Druk's belongings to.<br/><br/>Beginning the descent lead Joli to a rather lengthy climb, but little by little she began to see an eerie bit of blue light below. Descending down there was a faint whiff of air blowing up from beneath, buffeting her body with its force as it rose, before a feminine voice shouted. "Implosio!" The following bang was deafening in the confined space, but with nobody else interrupting her, Joli eventually came to enter a small room with the steps stopping a bit after the roof level. From the floor, it would have been hard to reach the lowest step, so dropping down meant getting back up would take some work.<br/><br/>The room itself looked to be uneven stone with a doorway at either side of the chamber, one leading back towards the direction where the entrance was, or somewhere below it at least, another heading further off ahead. There was a lone black snake on the floor next to pair of brilliant-blue ingots of some form, glowing eerily in the otherwise dark room. There was a gaunt goblin corpse next to them, with the smell of death starting to set in.<br/><br/>Faint, distant sounds of battle could be heard from the direction of the pathway angled towards the entrance, with a woman's shout followed by set of explosions rising now and then, metal's clashing sound apparent as well, but starting to quiet down it seemed. Less voices could be heard, though the metal's ringing was still evident, getting more distant.
