Tyler walked at the head of the group as they slowly proceeded down the path, deeper into the tunnel where the gold vein seems to be getting more highly concentrated. They would occasionally stop to extract the gold from the walls whenever they encountered Lodge chunks of gold embedded in the veins.
They also extracted bits of silver which gave them hope that the mine would possess even rarer metals like Orichalcum or adamantine. While that may have been a pipe dream since this was only a Grade 3 mine, it was still not within the realms of impossibility.
As they walked in the dark tunnel in what was considered the remnant of their former formation, Tyler suddenly spoke to them:
"It doesn't seem like the lack of light is affecting the monster's vision, neither is it preventing them from noticing us."
"Indeed. The spiders seem to be adept at locating or sensing other creatures in the tunnel so we are just putting ourselves at a disadvantage at this point."
