Talking to Susan:
Of the earthquake Susan says, "One of my associates in the geology department reports all of the small tremors and the epicenter of the quake were located northeast of town, in the mountains. Most of town seems unharmed, but a mine up there has collapsed, and I hear some workers are trapped inside. They could probably use your help if you have the time."
The strip mine spreads before you like a sickly sunset, dark and mottled like a rusted scab at the top, marbling toward the middle with an uneasy orange ting that brightens to a bottom core the shade of yellow ichor tinged with blood.
The foreman reports that the earthquake caused a landslide that has covered the entrance to a mine shaft. Nearly a dozen miners are trapped inside. They have adequate ventilation and some limited supplies, but everyone in Twilight is pitching in to rescue them. So far workers and heroes have collectively cleared X pounds of rock from in front of the mine entrance.
