===Mamon Mine===
{{spoiler|start}}
(*): Welcome to Mamon Mine. Or should I say, good luck to you in Mamon Mine? This is no place for people now.

(*): There's a funny-smellin' gas comin' out o' the mine. People are droppin' like flies. We've all 'ad it!

(*): Uuurgh...

No reply. It's just a corpse.

But a letter remains tightly clasped in one of its hands...

"Dear Dad,<br>
Please come home soon.<br>
Jack and I are so lonely.<br>
"We'll both come to visit you soon.<br>
Love, Jill"

(Character) reads the sign.<br>
"DANGER! KEEP OUT!"

(Character) examines the gravestone.<br>
There's an inscription... "HERE LIES HELEN, MY BELOVED WIFE."

(Character) examines the gravestone.<br>
There's an inscription... "TO THE SOULS OF OUR BRAVE MINERS."

(*): Zis was a place most lively once. But now... Oh! Quelle horreur!

(*): My dearest wife was taken from me. She is no more... I, I wish to be buried 'ere alongside ma chérie.

(*): How's an old man supposed to make a living, eh? I used to make gunpowder, but it's been banned now. Order of the Chancellor, you know.

(*): Anyway, if that's what you're here for, there might be- AHEM! (splutter) Sorry. There might be some left down the mine. ...I never told you, though.

No reply. It's just a corpse.

(*): What are you doing here!? You'd better leave, or you'll end up like the person next door!

(*): Me? Oh, no. I've always looked after the sick and injured, me. I couldn't leave. Not now.

(*): Ahem! (cough) Ahem! If ya value yer life, ya won't go down that mine.

(*): Ever since that weird gas started - Uuurgh! - seepin' out, there's been monsters by the cartload down there. Ahem...

(*): Zis is ze grave of my late wife, 'Elen...

(*): Oh, 'Elen, my love... I will be joining you soon, ma chérie...

(*): Fiery misfortune on any who would destroy these ruins! (sizzle sizzle)

(*): Frizzle and Kasizzle if you dig any more! (sizzle sizzle)

(*): Poor Grandpa lived for his work. But gunpowder was banned as soon as the Marquis Regent replaced the old king.

(*): Grandpa's been miserable ever since.

(*): I'm sorry, my (child/children), but I'm weary. I've been dealing with the sick all day long.

(*): Aaah... If you come back in the morning, - Ahymn! - the Goddess will surely bless you... (splutter) Ahymn, ahymn!

(*): Ah-phew... Ah-phew...

(*): Ahem... Ahem, ahem... There's still gold down this mine. Mine gold! Ah ha ha! Get it? ...Ahem!

(*): I'm not leaving 'til I- Ahem! Uuurgh... AHEM!

(*): Careful! There's monsters down here. Loads of them!

No reply. It's just a corpse.

(*): I had a lot of friends here once. But they're all dead now.

(*): It's about time I left this town, I think. Ahem, (cough) ahem!

(Character) examines the gravestone.<br>
There's an inscription... "TO THE SOULS OF OUR BRAVE MINERS."

(*): You're here for gunpowder, is it? Should be a keg in that chest, I reckon. It's all yours if you want it.

(*): Won't do you much good, though. It's too damp to do anything other than make a loud bang, I should think.

(*): I can unearth monsters, I can hit gas, but until I find gold, I'm not shifting!
