Into the Depths
As the party approaches the upper level of the stepped mining area (see map in Post #1) they are greeted by three separate shafts, each with a winch, a 2" thick hempen rope, and a wicker basket. The shafts are about 16 feet in diameter and descend straight down into the ground. The walls are braced by wooden planks, and are rough hewn flint. The party cannot see to the bottom of any of the shafts - it's dark down there!
