Yes, Even Further Down the Rabbit Hole
|
As you walk up to the mine, you're met by the head engineer, who seems to be handing out maps to heroes as they approach. "We've cleaned up the Brynne Fair mine well enough, and now we're down to the last and deepest and most dangerous level: Moira."
"Moira?" you ask, incredulous. "Someone let you name your deepest mine shaft Moira? Don't you think that's just a little too close to Tolkien to tempt fate?"
"It's my second daughter's name," the engineer insists. "After naming one after Brynne, I couldn't not name one after Moira. Besides, you're talking silly superstition."
You cock an eyebrow.
"Well, it seemed like superstition at the time. Anyway, there's some strange fire creatures down there. Hot lizards of some kind, and nasty horned beasties that carry flaming whips. We've been calling them gorblags, just so you know."
"Gorblags? Of course you do," you mutter, grabbing a map to the final shaft in the mine.
