Team Super-Awesome-the-BestMap... keys... shoes... with three key words spoken, the runes on the door glow dimly. A loud
thunk, the sound of stone gears grinding followed by a rocky click unlocked the door, allowing it to be opened. Inside is a large and dark room barely lit by the light from outside. Ancient torches line the walls, covered by cobwebs. Pickaxes and packs of dynamite are accompanied by wheelbarrows full of strange ores. In one corner there's a group of barrels full of powder, it appears to be the ore ground down into course grains. The aroma from the barrels is relentlessly sneeze inducing. "I guess its a sneeze-powder mine." Miri said over the crystal-ball. "Huh, I can't say much more than that without my tome. Where did that thing go? Must be that darn fairy... Well, what are you waiting for, get going already!" The only path leading out opens up to a large round tunnel with pockets periodically dug into the sides, large enough to fit several dozen princesses, or a wagon. Eventually the tunnel leads to an area bordered by stalagmites, the deeper parts of the area grow increasingly darker and more humid. The occasional rumble is nerve-racking.

"Gentlemen, surely you can see that we are merely refugees of war. We have nothing of value on us. There is no need to waste time trying to squeeze water from a stone, or money from us."
"Miss, please. We aren't amateurs, we're professionals. Surely you have something for us to steal? The clothes on your backs, or your wagon perhaps? What kind of brigands would we be if we don't relieve you of you're possessions? Now, could you please hurry up, we have other bridges to hide under you know..." The other bandits started growing anxious, reaching for their blades and arrows. Unless something is done soon a fight is gonna break out.
"Yeah yeah, give us a sec!" Leaning back towards the team, Miri whispered to them. "Guuuyyys, quit talking about what to do and do something already! You're not gonna let some level 1 bandits beat you, are you?"
