Autumnal Ale Duration: 8 posts
Rota's fortune continued as the Mother Vein kept pumping thanks to the autmnal ale, and it was going to last a long time thanks to his second one on the backburners. His pick rent the walls asunder as the momentum could not be contained. This was a treasure trove that Rota fully intended to crack open with a vengeance.
The second treasure check went better for Rolia & Son. Not the best materials, but important ones nonetheless. Rolia held out a lump of coal to Rota "This is coal. It is the life-blood of the blacksmith. Without this simple material, we as blacksmiths are nothing. This is integral to literally everything we do save for refining. I'll tell you about that later, but for now just focus on the coal. If you find nothing else, you want to find coal."

There was no leaving this Mother Vein for Rota. This was the best idea he had had in a long time. He was getting really sad that he only had one more tankard of ale left. The difference was staggering.
Rolia stopped again as they got some raw metal ore. Even in hindsight, Rota couldn't tell what that metal even was. He hoped, in the present, he would be able to find something like that again. "And this is metal ore. Good quality at that. This is the other half of the grand equation that allows Blacksmiths to even exist. Granted, without the Coal we would never be able to properly work the light inside of it, but the Metal itself is what gives us true purpose. Coal and ore, the two can never truly work separately."

Rota had depleted the Mother vein to just a standard Lode. The vein was still pumping though, so as long as it bled he would be ready with a bucket.
Rolia and Rota continued to dig, Rota quickly getting tired due to not being used to extraneous work, but Rolia hadn't even broken a sweat. This was all too easy for him to continue on like this. As long as his son was around to inspire, he could out mine seven of his peers at the same time.

Rota had been demoted to a minor lode, but it didn't drop his enthusiasm any. He was still gaining at least one of every material, so efficiency was very high for this last hurrah. He couldn't ask for a better outcome, honestly. In cursory figures he was over the minimum amounts in all resources. some cases nearly double that minimum. His Pickaxe flew at the prospect of getting even more materials.
Rolia and Rota continued to chip away at the wall, finding decent materials as they went. Rolia took the time to explain the histories and uses for all of the ones they found, and each one captivated young Rota to an extent. Rolia could not stop smiling as he saw the joy in his son's eyes. He knew that with this, he'd make a blacksmith out of his son yet. Though as he turned back to the rock, he started to have doubts. Defying the current lineage was almost a motif of the family to an extent. Rolia's father had been understanding, but disappointed that He had become a blacksmith, as his grandfather had done the same to his father. Rolia still maintained hope that Rota would break that trend, but he was mentally prepared to watch his son take another path.

Rota snapped out of his introspection to focus on his mining. He was in Mother Lode territory, and he was glad that he had never really left Lode territory since downing that ale. The yield from this trip was improved more than he could express, and he was almost sad that he couldn't give some to Little One. Having him be able to mine a little more efficiently would improve this final yield even more. Oh well. He would live with whatever he got.

Rota had struck the Mother Lode again. It was never too far away with his skill and ale by his side. With those two combined, he'd be able to maintain his status quo until the very end of this expedition. The last time he had had a mining expedition this long he had found Little One. Who knows if he could find another one or not, but he was more than willing to try. If he didn't, it was no big loss. The materials were reward enough for such a trip.

Rota hesitated to think that this was a Mother Vein, but he almost couldn't help it. He was ever hopeful when it came to things like this, and when Little one found the Minor lode at the same time it was just the icing on the cake. He felt like he was so exceedingly close to the end that he could taste it. The prospect of truly obtaining all of this loot and being free from mining for a long time sent this prospector into an all new frenzy. The ale was still in effect for just a little longer, he'd need to chug another one soon.

Rota felt the Ale starting to wear off. He was till in the Lode zone, but he took a pretty massive hit in quality. Although, could one really call getting at least two usable pieces of every unit a massive hit? it was around the lowest he had been since he had downed that ale. A shame he didn't have more. He continued to mine to his heart's content, keeping his last tankard at the ready to be ingested when the light wore off.

And Rota had ended that autumnal ale on a high note with the Mother Lode coming back into his grasp. As he felt the light fade he pounded back his last ale to give himself the super charge for the final push towards the end. He didn't have very long to go before he was done once and for all. He swung his pick ferociously as he thought about what he was going to do with all these materials.

Rota was significantly hampered for some reason. he had gotten thrown off his rhythm something fierce, but still managed to turn in a worthwhile performance in the meantime. He regrouped himself, and made another push at the rockface. There were still far more treasures locked away from his grasp that he still needed to abscond with before he could leave.

Rota's focus was rewarded with hitting the Mother lode decisively once again. This was easily the best mining session of his career only because he had bolstered his ability so amazingly that he couldn't possibly truly fail ever again. It was a comforting feeling to know that he had honed his abilities so far in such an arguably short time. The Pickaxe he held in his hand syncopated with the rythm of his heart as he tore his way through the mountainside.

The Mother Vein kept pumping as Rota's passion flowed into his mine. His mine responded with generosity as The Demon Artisan poured his heart and soul into the rock walls. He wanted to do right by this mine, come hell or high water, and he would do so if it killed him. He would not be returning to this mine for the forseeable future, so this session would have to do him for a long time.

The Mother Lode was gone, but Rota's conviction remained. He was not going to slow down due to a minor speed bump on this turbo boost of a session he was having. He needed to get this done, and nothing was going to get in the way of that goal. Rota kept the momentum of his pickaxe strong as he swung with all his might at the rockface to liberate the minerals from their prison.

Rota's lucky streak continued as he hit the Mother Lode AGAIN. If he didn't need it, it would almost be ridiculous. He was SO close to being done, it wouldn't be long until he closed the door on this mine for a long time. he hoped that this session lasted him. he didn't want to do this again.

Productivity took a small step sideways, but Rota wasn't bothered. He was still firmly in Lode territory so he could live with whatever came of that effort. The pickaxe continued to resonate with the passion of his soul as he continuously beat the wall to oblivion. There was no telling if he would find anything special, but he had to keep trying to make it work for the sake of His and Alyx's goals. he wasn't going to be an effective blacksmith if he didn't have the materials, and with what he had here it should last him a decent while.
