It was no good. Rota was too distracted right now. he couldn't even hear the pulse of the mine he was so out of it. He was merely going through the motions as his pick rose and fell soullessly onto the rock of the cave. he wasn't going to find anything like that. It was then that he felt a strong pulse in the back of his mind that snapped him back to reality. Was that the mine? Rota smiled softly. he understood. When the time came to move on, it understood, and its spirit would follow him wherever he went, but for now he had a job to do and a duty to this incarnation of the mine. he could not betray his responsibility to it. With renewed vigor he thrust the point of the pickaxe into the rock, waiting to unlock more hidden treasures.

Rota's resolve was rewarded with a Mother Lode. these kept happening,and he found himself caring less and less on why they were appearing so frequently the more and more they appeared. They were a fantastic boon, the best his mine had to offer, and the more he found those, the more he was maximizing his output potential. Rota was still far off of his lofty goal of over 30 coal and similar tier of iron, but he felt he could make it. he was going at a decent clip.

It wasn't a mother lode, but it was close. Rota collected the pieces of the rare lode and set them with the others in the pile. He had taken his mine for granted. He would not make that mistake again. He brought his pickaxe down again and again, maintaining the renewed vigour that his mine had given him. He was still on track to get the materials he needed. He just needed to remain vigilant.

The Mine had withdrawn its ores once more. Despite how much better Rota was at mining now, this was still not a sure thing. He respected that. If all he found were mother lodes, it WOULD streamline the process, but it would cheapen the bond between Artisan and Mine. Rota continued the rhythm of the pickaxe, not letting finding only stone get to him.

And more stone. Rota couldn't help thinking that this branch had been a dead end. He brushed the notion aside. There was no way his mine would lead him in a false direction. Perish the thought. Rota took his pick up once more and drove it into the 3ft. deep branch. He was going to find what he needed, weither the mine wanted to facilitate that or not. He was just under halfway there. It wouldn't be long now.

Rota had been patience, and as reward was a Mother Lode. Rota beamed as he moved the materials where he could access them. He was now over halfway to his goal. This was going to be quite the trial, but in the end it was going to be so worth it. Rota continued the pulse-like rhythm of the pick on stone. All he could do was hope for the best in each endeavor, and then make his hopes reality.

Another Mother Vein. Rota was surprised. If this is how much he noticed now, imagine what he missed back when he started. He didn't dare think of it. He, rather, went back to the rhythmic mining operations. The figure was surely waiting for him, and if that was true, then he needed gear. He needed to advance. Rota couldn't stay in the gloom wood for the rest of his time here.

While the mother vein had been bled dry once more, Rota was still receiving coal, so it didn't bother him too much. He was still closing in on his goal, a mere 13 pieces away from it. With the frequency he was getting materials that should be no problem, right? Rota smirked as he continued burrowing deeper and deeper into the mountain. He was glad that he hadn't run into any parts that were already on the main path of the caves of the spider's den.

Another Mother Lode brought itself to Rota to demonstrate how fast this process could be. He could scarcely believe that this was happening. It was uncanny to a degree. This mountain was a treasure trove of minerals. At this pace, he would have plenty of materials for ingots to practice his smithing technique. If any wanderers came to the gloomwood, he would have plenty of weapons and armor to sell them. That depended on people other than Alyx and Rota being in the village though. So it was a fairly flawed concept to a point, but he still held it in mind.

More Coal and Iron. These were the exact materials Rota needed, not excess materials save for stone. He did wonder what precisely could be done with Light smithing, but he would have to finish the task at hand in order to find out. With that in mind, he continued the rhythmic strikes of his pickaxe, feeling himself exceedingly close to his goal of 30 or more. This would be glorious once he was able to get back to the forge he was borrowing. He would need his own forge eventually...this fact could no longer be ignored. Maybe he would use his metric ton of stone for the job.

Just coal this time. It was unfortunate, but not the end of the world. Rota was still getting coal, so at least there was that. Coal is the lifeblood of his line of art. no coal, no smithing. Rota briefly wondered if there was yet another carved orb in his mine. It would be uncanny and ridiculous, but amazing nonetheless. He counted the pieces in his pile, and was completely satisfied. He only needed 7 more. Rota readied his pick to find the remaining pieces he required.

Still just coal. While Rota appreciated the Coal vein, he also needed more iron. Then again, to his knowledge it took more coal than iron to make any weapon or armor. The disproportionate figures were to his advantage in this situation then. He continued the piercing of stone in earnest, knowing that his trials would be done soon. All he needed was six more coal and he would be free once more. Hopefully Alyx would be available once he was done, but doubt was beginning to creep into his mind.

The vein kept pumping. It was uncanny how much coal Rota was getting now and nothing else but stone(which almost doesn't count.) This sort of thing would have been welcomed earlier in his mentalities, but he needed some more iron as well! If this continued, he wouldn't be able to practice nearly as much as he needed to. This couldn't stand. Rota took a deep breath and felt the mine around him trying to heighten his senses to finding what he needed. When he thought he had done so, he went back to work.

Rota's zen was rewarded with a Mother Lode. It had been a while since the mine had spoiled him like this, so he was glad that he had finally returned to it. He wondered if the mine was preparing him for the next floor, boosting his skills and abilities so that when he went up he could find things far easier than the initial struggle he had here. He didn't know for sure, but he knew in his heart that he had to get better at combat after this. He needed to hunt again, or at least do some missions in the village.
