Rima's Mining Adventure [Job ~ Solo]

New Deposits:

Rima's gentle footsteps and staff jingling was the only things someone could hear this Autumn night. She was looking for the mine site described in in the job she accepted earlier that day. Today she was wearing much heavier clothing than normal and a witch's hat- which was quite big but perfect for this sort of cold weather. After a few minutes of wandering around the forest she finally came across the large cave entrance.

A sort of cold sweat formed on the back of her neck as she took a gander at the mine. She raised her lantern and tried to shine a bit of light in. She's never been one to enjoy going into dark cramped places, but she needed the cash and no other job seemed really seemed appropriate at the time. She finally gathered up enough courage and took her first step into the cave.

"Hello?"she said quite nervously. She was quite relieved to not get a response. However, she did find it quite strange that there wasn't any sign of life in here. She expected to at least encounter some cute furry animals from the forest, it was getting around that time for animals to take shelter from the cold. She started to look around for animals while going deeper into the mine, but still nothing at all. This was definitely something she needed to report back.

As she proceeded to go further into the mine she finally started to cheer up a little. It wasn't even that dark inside the mine to be honest. After finally convincing herself that there was nothing scary in this cave she began to hum to herself during her exploration.

After several minutes of aimless wandering, she finally came across a large wall. She shined her light on the wall and noticed it shined faintly as the light went across it. This place was loaded with metal, she wasn't too familiar with this sort of stuff but just about anyone could see the large deposit here.

She took a sigh of relief and began to head back to the exit, her job here was done. However, as she was walking back she heard what almost seemed to be a shifting of rocks. This frightened her quite a bit, especially after confirming there was no life in the cave. She started to sprint back to the exit after be scared by the noise, but she ended up tripping over something in the darkness and her lantern smashed on the floor. She let out a loud scream as the darkness engulfed her vision. However, this didn't stop her for very long. She got back up and kept sprinting towards the light ahead of her.

Finally, she got to the exit of the cave which was identified quickly because of the torch on the wall. She was practically gasping for air at this point because of being spooked like that and all that running. Her body wasn't really used to running that much if any at all. After taking a few minutes to calm herself down a bit she finally started to make her way back through the forest.

"I just want to go back to the inn and read..."she said almost in tears. She then proceeded to turn in the job and do just that before passing out like a baby.
