The party has just been laid off from the mine near Bandor Village. After many prosperous years, the mine has closed. It's not the first time, but it just might be the last.

(Jason's character)'s freak wild magic surges caused a recent disaster which caused immeasurable damage. The company would have been a lot more inclined to pay for repairs had they not already feared that the once-rich veins of gold and silver were running dry.

The miners are now fleeing or hanging around aimlessly. There are rumours and whispers of treasure at Ascore and via a clue at Citadel Adbar
