With my fancy, polished gear, I decided to embark on an early morning trek to Covetous. Once a familiar stomping ground, the walls were strange and threatening anew. The harpies' feathers seemed even more rustled, the gazers' eyes even more bulbous. The mongbats, oh, Avatar, the mongbats. Their tiny claws put a scratch in my platemail!
What I saw deeper within truly took me by surprise. Headless miners. Zombies, slaving away at the rock face, picking out gems only to discard them at their feet.
I gathered several, along with about 1,500 gold for our coffers, and beat my retreat.
