- Job:
- Quest: A New Mine
Rank: D
Type: Bad
Requirements: None
Client:
Mattoro: Former foreman, he and his crew would go into the mines for the city's needs. During a cold winter, they were promised great wealth that would allow them to retire if they kept on mining. In the end, the additional money was never paid, while Mattoro lost many good men when the mine crashed. Enraged, Mattoro and the rest of the miners rebelled and formed the Cold Colliers.
Summary: Despite what happened to Mattoro and his men while working at the mine, the contractors have managed to hire a new group to continue the job without taking responsibility for the death they caused. Mattoro knows that the new workers are innocent and just trying to provide for their families, as he was, but he can’t stand the contractors getting away with what they did without consequence. As such, he has hired you to place explosives in the new mine and collapse it. He has stated that none of the miners are to be harmed in any way, instead you have just to place the explosives, collapse the mine, and get out without being detected.
Enemies: None
Objective: Place the explosives and collapse the mine.
Details:
Create a topic in Baska City.
You will have received a note from Mattoro, asking for your assistance in a matter, having heard of some of your past exploits, and knowing you don’t mind bending the rules to do what is needed to be done.
He will be waiting for you in an abandoned shack about a mile from the mineshaft in question, and there he will give you the details of the quest, as well as a sack filled with explosives.
There are four explosives in total, all to be placed at specific locations within the mine to completely collapse it. Before your leave, Mattoro will explicitly state that none of the workers may be harmed. Incapacitating them is fine, but none can be killed or attacked for no reason.
As you approach the mine, you see that the miners are everywhere. Through whatever means, whether by impersonating a miner or incapacitating all the miners, enter the mine and start placing the explosives at the required locations you were told about.
Once the final explosive is placed, leave the mine, and set them off, collapsing the mine entirely and rendering it unusable. The miner’s will retreat from the location of the explosion and there will be some chaos. Use this to escape without anyone knowing it was you that caused the explosion.
Return to Mattoro to receive your reward, who believes he still needs to do more to bring down the contractors.
Knuckles had been in Baska for a little while now, his fight at the rock had spread, it was not about who had won or lost. The skills and strategy had all showed those who had watched the bout learned that the two fighters had some serious skill to them. One such view needed that sort of skill for his problem. A few days later the miner found where the red-haired warrior had been staying while in Baska. He tasked one of his men to leave a note for the man under the door as soon as Knuckles left the tavern he was staying at.
Knuckles would come back sometime later after taking in more of the city. So far he had been enjoying the wonderful views and history of battles that had been held in the same spot he had fought. He now shared something with the men and women who had history at that rock.
Opening the door to his room within the tavern, he fought himself stepping on a sheet of paper. "Hm, just what could this be, a menu for tonight maybe?" Knuckles removed his foot from the page and bend down at the knees lowering his frame to the paper. Picking it up and opening it he noticed it was written harshly. Whoever wrote this note had either very basic writing skills or was new to writing. The letters were crude and uneven. It was almost too disgusting to look at but he managed.
