Dialogue
Accepting the quest
Linette: So, are you ready to join the Miners' Guild? Linette: Music to my ears! Aye, the kind made when one's pickaxe strikes gold! Linette: You must introduce yourself to Guildmaster Adalberta right away. Linette: Her approval is required if you are to be formally admitted to our ranks. Linette: In case you're unaware, Adalberta is perhaps the most accomplished of those miners who still swing a pickaxe. Linette: Her understanding of our trade is unsurpassed, and her flair for prospecting uncanny. Her brain, in short, is a veritable gold mine of knowledge——much of it concerning the mining of gold.
...Ha ha! Jesting apart, you stand to learn a great deal from her. Linette: When you are ready, pray present yourself to Adalberta. You will find her down the steps yonder, over by the bar.
Speaking to Adalberta
Adalberta: Well met, adventurer. Adalberta's my name, and I'm the master of this guild. Adalberta: I take it you wish to become a miner. Well, our doors are open to all who aren't afraid to work hard and get dirty. Adalberta: Thanks to recent advances in refining techniques, it's now possible to smelt even low-purity ores. I mention this because it's allowed us to reopen a number of mines which were long thought exhausted, prompting trade to flourish. Adalberta: Truth be told, with business as it is at the moment, we can't take on enough new miners. And few folk make better miners than adventurers, you being a hardy lot. Adalberta: What's more, you're well traveled, which serves to expand the guild's sphere of activity. Oh, but I'm not suggesting you join solely for our benefit. Adalberta: For your part, you'll acquire skills that will prove to your profit——a mutually beneficial arrangement, I trust you'll agree. So what say you? You will join us, yes?
Ready to work hard and get dirty?
- No
Adalberta: This is...unexpected. You have so much to gain and nothing to lose. Won't you reconsider?
- Yes
Adalberta: Then I bid you welcome to the Miners' Guild! May your toils never go unrewarded! Adalberta: Now then, here's a pickaxe to get you started. It's not the newest, but it should serve a novice well enough. Adalberta: Go on and take it up——see how it feels in your hands. Adalberta: Speak to me again when you're ready, and I'll assign you a little task to help you get into the swing of things.
