Smithsage nodded to Frank as they entered the mine, grabbing as many ores as he could.  Because of his mining skill, however, he was able to gather ores faster than the others, getting several more per ore deposit than they did.  "Hey Frank," he said, "how many do I need for the quest?  I may as well turn it in when I get back, and get the free XP."  He grabbed a few more from another deposit, trying to figure out how many he'd need.  He figured that if twenty would be enough for now, plus the ones for the quest of course.

He made his way to the back of the cave, around a bend that the others hadn't gotten to yet and saw the reason why their weren't any golems inside.  A man stood there holding a katana, but that wasn't the most important thing Smith saw.  Above the man's head was an orange crystal shape, and his right glove bore the symbol of the Laughing Coffin.

Smith turned and ran.
