And while they are there, a tragic accident happens. Only some have a chance to escape, and the fathers/parents all choose to rescue the children instead of themselves.Or, if there were an attack by evil creatures that have a future tie in to the game, and the children/mothers were only given a chance to flee when the miners make a last-ditch stand to hold off the enemy for a few minutes.In either of these situations, you could rub in how evil/selfish the mine owner is by having him either abandon his own children, or force his way past the kids to be the first to escape.</blockquote>
