Hey Rupert, I found this abandoned mine that could be a gold mine if we play it right. What’s your plan?
Rupert Rupert
We map the layout first, then secure the entrance with a quick barricade. Survey the tunnels for veins, mark the high‑yield spots. We hire a small crew, split into pairs for redundancy. Supply them with basic gear and a radio network. While they mine, we keep a steady cash flow: sell the ore in small batches to local traders, keep the rest for bulk sales. If the mine turns out to be a dud, we withdraw before the risk climbs. Simple, efficient, no drama.

Sounds solid, but I’m not about to sit on the sidelines. I’ll crack the first tunnel open, keep an eye out for traps, and if anything looks bad I’ll pull the crew back faster than a hound on a scent. Let’s make sure the crew’s got a quick escape plan too—no one wants to end up a souvenir. Let's do it.

Start at the shallowest point, keep your torch high, scan every seam for signs of collapse. Put a lightweight rope across the first gap, then clear a 15‑meter pass. While you move forward, send a scout out on the other side with a flare so you know if the air’s still safe. Keep the crew in pairs, each with a compass and a spare lantern. Once you hit the main vein, seal the entrance behind them with a block of timber. Their exit is a secondary tunnel that cuts straight to the ridge. If the air pressure drops or you hear rumble, you know it’s time to retreat. All that, and we’ll have a gold stash and a clean exit.

Alright, I’m on it. I’ll crack that gap and keep the torch high. You’ll stay on the comms, watch the flare—if it flickers, we back out fast. I’ll lock the timber behind us and keep an eye on the pressure. Let’s get that gold and run before the rocks decide to throw a tantrum.Got it. I’ll start that first crack, rope it tight, and keep the torch bright. You’ll stay on the radio, watch the flare, and if the air starts coughing or the rocks start shouting, I’ll pull the crew back the way we came. Let’s lock that timber, haul that vein, and keep it clean. Ready to roll.
