greetingYou've the look of someone who goes down holes for coin. Good — I've a hole and I've coin, and I've a report a month overdue that I can't make honest without eyes I trust down the lowest gallery. Durgal Quarn, foreman of the Weeping Adit, or what's left of it. The water's up and the dead are up with it, and Lord Vandahl wants a number. I'd rather have the truth. You interested in the difference?
topics{"adit":"House Vandahl's last silver gallery, south of here, and flooding fast. I got my crew out by ringing the shift bell till the dead followed it instead of us. They came to a chalk line on the drowned floor and no further. I don't know why. I know I'm not sending my own people back down to find out.","water":"Up a hand's breadth a week and it does not go back down. There's an Old Work survey instrument on a pedestal down there, older than the mine, and its brass face keeps a truer count than any chalk mark of mine. Bring it up and we'll both know exactly how lost the seam is.","dead":"More of them than any muster the House admits losing in the vale. They stand where the old pit was and they face the mouth. They don't rot and they don't scatter. It's not a haunting. It's a work stoppage that stands up, and nobody ever told them the shift was over.","house":"Lord Vandahl wants to hear the seam holds. Tell him that and a crew drowns next season. Tell him it's lost and the garrison pay gets thinner. That's why I want a stranger to carry the number — someone with no stake in the House's pride. I'll pay it out of my own purse."}

Go down, recover the Old Work survey instrument that marks the true waterline, and bring it back — then tell the House the honest count or the kind one."}

Tell him the truth.","say":"Then it's lost, and better said plain than found the hard way with a crew in it. Durgal writes the honest count down without flinching and pays you from his own purse. \"You did the men a kindness they'll never know about,\" he says. \"The House won't thank you. I do.\""},{"key":"kindly","label":"Tell him the seam holds. Let the House keep hoping.","say":"Durgal takes the kinder number and looks relieved before he can stop himself, then ashamed that he was. He pays the finder's fee and doesn't quite meet your eye. \"The House keeps its silver a season longer,\" he says. \"And somebody finds the waterline the hard way. On my count, now. Not yours.\""}]}
