It was actually a rather beautiful day out. The sun was starting to reach its peak in the sky. The air was warm, but starting to chill with the tell-tale signs of fall creeping in the air and the trees making up the large woods of Arecia. The subtle variations in color added well to the scenery as you are led further and further into Arecia.
Leading the charge with an over-packed rucksack on his shoulders is a short, dark-haired man with a certain pep in his step. He had been the one to drive you out to the edge of the forest before leading you the rest of the way on foot. Cornelius Mollor.
A rather chipper and forward fellow who'd seemed more than happy to have you tag along with him. Though he checks a map on occasion, his steps seem sure and his pace quick. "Thanks again for tagging along, friend!" He calls back over his shoulder. As his head turned around it revealed the eyepatch covering up his left eye. "I was happy enough to get one helper, let alone two!"
A wide and toothy grin split his face before he looked forward again, stepping over a large root. "I've got a feeling this'll be easy picking now! I'm definitely curious to see what's down there. I just know we're going to find something; you'll see! Though you'll be paid regardless, don't worry." He added additionally in reassurance. "Wouldn't want to go back on a deal, now, right?"
After that he focused on leading, humming to himself and occasionally chatting. Eventually, however, he stops you. The map is rolled up carefully and put away. Before you stands a rather large hill face. Some of it had been grown over with grass and other plant-life. The rest is bare stone and dirt. In one of those areas, there is a decently sized rift between the stone that looks to continue inward and form a tunnel. Cornelius absolutely beams when it comes into view and rushes over. "Ha ha! Here we go! This is it, my friends!" He announced proudly. "Now I know it might not seem like much, but trust me; there's more cave in there."
The excited man took off his large rucksack and began rummaging through it. Eventually he pulled out three flashlights. He extends one out towards you, and keeps one for himself. "Not sure how much you've got in terms light, but fortunately I'm well stocked! Oh, that reminds me." There was more rummaging before three hard helmets were pulled out. Cornelius plopped one onto his head before offering the others. "Head safety. Nothing worse than being conked in the head by solid rock. learned from experience, that I most certainly did."
Whether or not the tools were taken, Cornelius would shoulder his rucksack once more. Then he turns to face you. With a beaming smile he asks: "So! You ready?"
