In order to find out as much as they can about the situation in the mines, Erasmus calls the four miners over and buys them all a drink. "We are travelling adventurers from a little way's north of here. We have seen a number of terrifying things and lived to tell the tale. From what I understand, you four are a lot like us, but dealing with monsters is kind of what we do. However, I am not the sort to stroll into an abomination-infested mine without some kind of clue as to what I may be facing. Now, if you fine chaps would be so kind as to describe, in detail, the things you have seen, how many there were and where they came from, my friends and I will make sure you have as much drink as you need to forget."
