Lore
Its been four days since we first sealed ourselves off in here. Felt like four weeks, though. Yulen's gone down to rig the place up with our remaining explosives. It's not enough to blast us to the surface, so it might as well do as our last line of defences. When those creatures break through the last of our titanstone seals, we'll be ready. We're miners, shorthand for fighters. In the words of almighty Site Overseer Kris Canver, we crack the Earth beneath our pickaxes on a day to day basis. If the land is no match for us, then it's fowl spawn won't be either. I only hope this is true. But to tell the truth, I am afraid. None of us want to die down here, in this cold and damp hole. None of us want to know what happens when one of those creatures gets to you. few heroic yet foolish souls decided to make a break for it. They all made the same promise: To get us help once they got out of here. The fact that we are still in this situation probably means that none survived. Now, the walls are all but closed around us. Sometimes, I wish I had been one of those fools who bolted. They were granted death sooner than all of us, and died still fighting. Me? I miss my wife, my children, the smells and scents of the surface. I pray to those Gods I never believed in for comfort, and in divine irony, I swore I heard a God laughing back at me for my lack of faith until this point. The laughter held pity but no hint of sending help. It sounded like the heartbeat of a rock. I have come to the conclusion that my end is drawing near. We have supplies to last a few more weeks, which really, is nothing in the grand scheme of things. We got lucky I guess, since this cave we are stuck in has access to fresh water and whatever monstrosities that dwell in it. Monstrosities yes, but hopefully nothing a hungry man cannot eat. Of course, we have to dive and catch them first. Since all our rations had run out, we have decided to send a diving team down to search for such creatures. That no-entry sign put up by good old Overseer Crombane means nothing to us now. Oh, and I am part of that diving party. I am not a good swimmer, and do not expect to get out alive, which is the whole reason why I volunteered in the first place. I'd rather die clasping out for air while my lungs fill with water and burst than to face those monsters. And that is why I write this note. If I make it out, I'll tear this section up. If you are reading this, I am dead. If that is the case, thanks for coming down here to this hellhole. My wife and I knew that this job was too good to be true: The pay and bonuses and all that. But I thought that at worse, I'll be working another job like the old one. I didn't think it'll go down like this. If you ever meet my family, please say goodbye to them for me. And to my son Connor, I am sorry that I could spend more time with you. Please forgive me. -Kenweiss Adulon
