Rota continued to do well in his mine, even finding a minor Lode in the process. Little one was back to having not much luck but it didn't seem to get him down. The little guy was as dedicated to the trade as Rota was and that made him swell with pride a small bit. There was no telling how many Mother Lodes were left in his mine, and he was going to do his damndest to find them all, come hell or high water.

The minor lode had upgraded itself as Rota dug into it. Little One was only finding coal, but that was good. He needed Coal for his work. If he kept up this pace, he would be over par for his expected net gain for this expedition. Rota continued to slam his pickaxe into the treasure trove that lied beneath the surface. He was making progress, he just needed to be persistant

Rota's efficiency went down again, but he didn't mind. He was still getting at least one of everything and that was all that mattered. He had no idea what he was going to do with the quartz though. He had no interest in Lightsmithing, despite trying it once, and no one he knew was interested in it either as far as he knew. It wasn't an overly pressing issue, but one that he needed to address at some point. Also he likely had enough stone to build a sizeable forge. he should REALLY focus himself on masonry. Not the most exciting pursuit, but it was SOME use for the metric buttload of stone he was getting.

Hmm. Rota had only found coal and stone. That was a second for this trip. He was glad he could be that consistent now. his hard work had paid off in droves. It was always nice to truly see how far one had come from the beginning to now. and with all of this hard work paying off it inspired him to push even harder. Was it difficult, SURE, but it was easier to rest on one's laurels than to try (and sometimes fail) to top one's self. That was what he strove to do. He would not stagnate, he would not settle for the standard. He was going to keep himself quality minded even if he was the only one doing so.

And back to the new status quo! it was almost as if Rota's mine knew this was going to be the last time he was going to mine in here. It was practically showering him with materials almost as a last hurrah of sorts. it was getting overwhelming, but in a good way. Little One and He pressed on, letting the giving mine give its final gifts of love to the both of them.

Rota's good fortune kept cashing out constantly. At this rate he was going to TRIPLE his projected net gain. This was turning out far better than expected. He continued to mine alongside Little One, invigorated and inspired with how fortuitous this trip was going to be.

Rota's fortune had slowed once more as he found only some iron and some quartz. Not a terrible haul as he still needed some Iron, but not having the coal was a bit of a bummer. He continued to tunnel his way through the mountain with extreme prejudice. It was only a matter of time before he had what he needed.

Well, there was the coal that Rota was looking for last time. How nice of it to show up when it did. Oh well, he decided not to dwell on it and just keep on chipping away at the treasure trove that lied beneath the surface of the stone. He was getting close to halfway done, he figured. It was almost time to dip into his autumnal ale supply.

Rota had hit another lode. Increasing his expected yield was always something he looked forward to, and every span of time it took to find them was another second closer to using his first autumnal ale. If he just got to that point, he could "cheat" this system.

Rota had hit the true Mother Lode once again. It was moments like these that made everything he did worth while. Not only was he having luck, but Little One was right along with him. He thought back to when he had been in the same situation as Little One, not having much luck with the mining business, but it was all worth it in the long run to slog through. Even when one is at their lowest point, good things can come of such tenacity. It was in this mine that he recalled the Being in light and its ambiguous nature. He still never got an answer on that thing. Oh well. he would find out in due time.

Rota's pickaxe remained true as he found a Major Lode. It was these moments that he was going to miss about mining for a while. In all the excitement, his memories rushed back to his father's forge.
It was virtually a technical marvel of smithing. Rota could almost guarantee that everything from the anvil to his tools were all made by hand, and all with the same care and dedication as anything else he made. It was at this time, Rolia looked into his stores and noticed that he was running low on materials. Taking up a pickaxe larger than a full grown adult he beckoned to Rota to follow him to learn of where his materials came from.

The Mother Lode returned as Rota's thoughts were sent far back beyond his memory. The riches were nice, but the nostalgia was something he almost treasured even more.
Rolia and his son had made it to a massive mountain far from the forgehouse. He smiled wide as he shifeted the pickaxe on his shoulder and looked at Rota. "Well Little One, we're here. This is where your old man gets all of his special goodies to make into things!" The Young demon's eyes lit up like twin suns at the enormity of the cave they delved into. Rolia grinned the whole way down deep into the mines. The 'man-made' cavern being very well lit and maintained to avoid cave-ins and the like. This was his first time showing this cave off to his son. if this wouldn't spark interest in Blacksmithing...no He couldn't think like that.

Autumnal Ale Duration: 10 posts
Rota felt his pick hit a Major Lode again, and knew that the time had come to go all in. He dropped his pick for a moment to down a healthy tankard of Autumnal Ale. The Orange light flowed through his body and mingled with his own light, bolstering it to exceed its normal boundaries. With newfound prowess, he continued to heave his pickaxe into the walls of the mine with exhilarated enthusiasm!
Rolia and his son had finally made it to the most recent shaft, one that had shown promise before. He held a small pickaxe down to his son as he took a drink of something. "Mining your own materials is time consuming sometimes, but if you know how it works you can get some pretty amazing efficiency out of even a basic mine. It's hard work, but just like the pride a cook has when they grow all of their ingredients, the Blacksmiths who harvest their own materials share that same pride." Rolia led by example as he hefted his massive pickaxe and slammed it calculatedly into the rockface in front of him.

Autumnal Ale Duration: 9 posts
The ale was doing its job as Rota was able to find that the Mother Lode was a Mother Vein. This would improve his net gain beyond expectation. He only wished he had had more of these to begin with.
Rolia had largely struck out, finding only stone to start with. The same could be said of young Rota. Rota looked up to him disappointed and Rolia just smiled back at him reassuringly. "You can't expect immediate success in a craft like this. You have to break away the largely useless to find the true treasures that lie beneath. It takes just a little bit of patience." Rolia continued to swing, maintaining a positive outlook and kept encouraging his son.
