"Please, I really did not mean... I... Look, I've... I've worked with Strongheart for years. He's always been the boss of our group, but lately he's changed. He took a job from that shadow rider, having us guard the entrance to the mine ahead. At the time, all this security for a simple mine seemed excessive, but it was an easy job and the pay is good, so Strongheart took it. Our employer didn't speak much about what they were doing in the mine that needed so much protection, but Strongheart started to get close to the Shadow Rider... The rider was part of some organization, some brotherhood, he called it, but would say no more. Strongheart would tell me he thought it was The Brotherhood... you know, the one the five defeated. I told Strongheart he was crazy, that the brotherhood was long gone, but he had convinced himself, and was trying to prove himself to the Shadow Rider and his masters, in order to join them."
"Honestly, It's all I know. I don't know what's inside the mine, but if those zombie troops the shadow rider used are any... hey, where is he?"
As they looked, the fallen mount was there, but the rider's body was gone.
