[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 7860442, member: 6855223"] Tehn agrees with the assessment stated by Coldtree. "[COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]We may not be able to pawn off these pinchers, but I will bet that the rest of those red flecked stones will go. I think we should keep the stingers. We may be able to make use of them ourselves, in the coming days[/COLOR]." Camp is broken and cleaned of residue by mid morning, and the three men return to town carrying a few of the broken ant carcasses as evidence of success. Many of the miners are quite surprised at the size of the ants, having never before seen them so close. Gebbrik is so pleased with the success, that he pays the men an extra 'tenwage', which is 100 shillings each. He nods his head several times as he begins to speak in his voice that sounds like his mouth is full of gravel. "[COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]Ten ants total, you say? Destroyed the whole bed? That is great news. I can see that those things would have become an even bigger problem in no time at all[/COLOR]." He pauses for a moment, considering his next words.
