Summary
TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1000: The party, alongside the circus, Cool John, and Astrid, had travelled for three days to their first stop on the way to Edgemouth, the town of Belvast. Upon their arrival, Gnorbitt, Roscoe, and Badger decided to check out the local tavern, the Underhill, to relax before the circus' performance that night. Surprisingly, the tavern was filled with miners, despite it being the middle of the work day.

Amongst these miners was a woman donned in robes and other gear typical of adventurer types. The robed woman, introducing herself as Trin, informed the party that she was trying to rally the miners to enter the mine and clear a cave-in to rescue some other trapped miners. The party, along with Trin, decide to go deal with this, talking their way past the guards and into the mine. After clearing the first cave-in, they encountered a group of the injured miners, who informed them that there were more trapped deeper in the mines. The workers had barricaded themselves in the room when the cave-in opened up a smaller cavern containing a nest of giant spiders.

Sending the workers away, the group broke through the barricade, fought away the spiders, and backtracked to the other portion of the cavern, where the rail line had fallen through the broken ground and into a chasm. Trin and Gnorbitt crossed successfully, while Badger shorted the jump and began to fall into the abyss. Luckily, he was saved by the group before plummeting to his doom. Seeing Badger's failure, Roscoe did not attempt to jump the gap and opted to stay on the other side of the chasm.
