-We get hired to go to a cold iron mine to clear out some monsters. Considering some recent problems, some cold iron would be pretty useful to have on hand
-Mantella went there the last time there was a job here. He doesn't remember anything about it
-We reminisce about the retired/deceased associates who went on that job and haven't been seen in a long time
-The first room contains a bunch of desks, it looks like a schoolhouse or library
-We encounter some rock creatures
-They seem aggressive, and don't like us moving around the cave
-I try going around, that doesn't work
-It's a rough fight, with a lot of us taking some nasty hits. Most of us go down at least once
-Sutton almost dies. After we finish off the rock monsters, we take a night to rest and try again tomorrow
-We go deeper in and see a room with electronics. There's a living lodestone in here too. Seems perfectly legal to me
-It has a magnetic field around it. It's slowing most of us down
-4 creatures that look like headless cavaliers come out of the ground
-The magnetic field changes polarity through the fight. It disarmed me of my fulminating spear, causing it to fly around the room. This thing is a serious health hazard
-It goes down way easier than I expected
-We enter the next room and find some glowing green rocks. Golems made of abyssium, highly dangerous. It makes people sickened by being near it. We need to get rid of it.
-We take down the golems and leave them for the miners to dispose of. They're safer when they're dead
-The end of the mine is full of lush vegetation
-We see some big turtle-like creatures eating rocks, Granit Glytodonts
-We quickly dispatch them with no issues
-Hopefully they can deal with the Abyssium with no issues
