Don't be stupid. Of course I care about our workers. Of course I find Joscus' death tragic. He was a good man and a hard worker. I'm sure that he wouldn't want to see his work go to waste. Now, do you have the ore or do you not?

What a shame.

Excellent. Thank you, %PCName. Please, allow me to compensate you for your trouble.

You did? That is good to hear. Thank you. It is a pity, though, that you couldn't recover the iron ore that he had collected prior to his death.

You did? That is good to hear. And did you, per chance, also manage to salvage the iron ore he had collected prior to the accident?

A tunnel collapsed and flooded. A freak accident. We suspect that the miner in question has perished. Sadly, we haven't been able to locate his remains. I've instructed the miners not to go down there.

Do I look like a guy who even wants your sympathy, %PCName? Just leave me the hell alone.

Yeah, yeah, you might be right. But it's not like the Hlaalu have ever cared for our well being. We all know that. That's why I should've looked after the boy myself.

Thanks, %PCName. That actually made me feel a little better.

He didn't deserve to go like that. It doesn't seem right, you know? I almost feel like it should've been me who drowned in that tunnel instead of that boy. I blame myself. He was just a rookie. I should've been more careful and watched his back.

You found Joscus' amulet? Let me take a look. ... So, the boy is really dead, then... I had hoped, that by some miracle, he was still alive.

I don't wanna talk about it.

House Hlaalu are responsible for that boy's death. Their negligence killed him. Those tunnels weren't safe, but they wouldn't listen to us.

His body is still somewhere in the flooded tunnel. Folcard blames himself for the boy's death. He should blame the Hlaalu instead. He should blame Gelvu Andas. We knew those tunnels weren't safe, but she wouldn't listen.

Tryr says that the Hlaalu are to blame for his death, but Old Kassius swears it's something unnatural that caused the tunnel to collapse and flood.

Didn't you hear about the tunnel that collapsed and flooded? It killed him. Tryr says that the Hlaalu are to blame, but Old Kassius swears it's something unnatural that caused the collapse.

You did a good thing finding that poor boy's body. May he rest in peace.

His body is still somewhere down in the flooded tunnel, the one where those strange glowing mushrooms grow. Gelvu Andas told us not to go down there to fetch Joscus' body. Doesn't want any more of her miners dead, and she'll wait for some other fool to do the job. Folcard was with Joscus when the accident happened -- hasn't been the same since. Blames himself for the boy's death, no doubt.
