Liem sat idle in the Exigo trade post having only recently posted a notice of reopening his and Darcy's foundry. He tilted his head a little as he poured a small pewter cup full of some spirits watching a young blonde woman read the notices on the board.
Not long into his bottle, the woman approached him having seen the notice for the foundry being put up. After a brief conversation Presea hired him to acquire a large quantity of Mithril, though it took a while to convince her to enter the Sestra mines with him as he would need the support of a healer in case something went wrong, offing her a discount for the assistance.
Eventually, the pair met in Sestra and made their way into the Mines, had the Thayan owned mines been their ultimate goal it perhaps would not have been so easy to pass through them. The Mithril however Liem had seen some time ago deep in the nest of the lizard people who dwelt beneath Sestra, given the history of the place, he still could not understand why they had not been driven out or slain entirely.
With a swift mixture of Liem's massive iron barbed spear, and the lady Monk's swift strikes and prayers they found the ore. After securing the area, Liem removed his armor and picked up a pair of rune encrusted pick axes to begin his work.
The resounding din of the mining echoed through the caves, the earth and stone being separated from the precious metal twined within by expert strikes. Liem set to his task with even and persistent blows gathering the ore as it was separated in a pile just to the side of him.
Lost in thought of his return or the beautiful Monk who had hired him whatever the distraction, it was not but a breath longer distracted he would have joined the stone he was working as it collapsed down into a sheer tunnel the bulk of the stone had obscured. Cursing his luck as Presea had swiftly pulled him back from the edge of the now deep plummet. Striking up a torch, he tossed it into the new hole watching it fall and ricochet off the sides of rough stone as it fell, Liem let out a soft whistle of appreciation as he watched.
"We will return for the Ore" He explained to Presea. "However I must first gather some equipment to make this decent. I will see this contract through." Liem then returned to the town with the Monk and began the trek back to his room in Aquor to find supplies to make the deep climb chasing the Ore he could not let escape.
