After they leave the FBK HQ, the trio bump into Zak, who is in Niqamui for a personal matter. Who volunteers to aid the group. They board Dwayne the Roc to fly to the mine’s location, along the way they make idle chat and learn more about the adventure they are about to embark on. Zak, being the more experienced party member, tries to deduce what the party is getting themselves into.
               Upon landing Zak searches for an alternate route while Chico forages for supplies while Ignatious uses his clockwork companion A brass Raven named Archimedes, who detects danger ahead, which happens to be a wild Grizzly Bear, which Chico Throws a carrot that he had fashioned into a sharpened object at the bear, which charges at him. Ignatious fires a large bullet at said bear while Zak loosens an arrow towards the bear. Chico gets hit and falls into some briars that Zak had seen. Ignatious fires more smaller bullets at the bear that weaken it, Zak then throws his knife at the bear forcing it to retreat into the woods.
               Hellwig runs up the path upon hearing an explosion with the party following him. Smelling methane in the air the party are careful upon approaching the mine. Zak finds a First-Aid potion and a concussive Claymore potion. They then entered the mine.
               Upon entering Hellwig runs off in fear and leaves the three to venture in alone. Ignatious hears a howling off in the distance as the group reaches a junction. Zak, playing off his prior experience with the FBK opts to go left per the Firebreathing Kittens Manual. The party ventures left following a mysterious knocking noise. They follow it to a sheer drop which had it not been for Chico and Ignatious. The group braved the drop by balancing along some railcar tracks and reached a large opening. Chico unaware bounces around and finds a dead miner that Zak identifies was killed by a Frostbound or as the people of the North call one of the Others. A hulking humanoid beast standing at its shortest 8ft tall and weighing around 300 pounds. The Group trek on and approach a small entrance to another cave, opting to let the stealthier Chico to enter first, they discover a frost bound waiting for more of the miners.
               Zak enters and alerts the frost bound by falling and the party begin to fight the creature. Zak gets grabbed, Chico thinking fast uses a cave chili to injure the beast after Archimedes distracted the monster. Ignatious uses his whiskey to construct a Molotov, while Chico uses a Claymore of his own that he found to stun the beast long enough to allow Ignatious to hit him with the Molotov.
               The miners walk out and congratulate the party for saving them, battered and bloody the three walked out of the mine with 5,000 golds worth in gems to split between Chico and Ignatious. Zak on the other hand opted to only take a single Amethyst for his troubles telling one of the miners Randy, he didn’t need the gold. He only wanted information and the knowledge that if he learned anything Zak would know. The Party rides back to Niqamui on Dwayne the Roc as the group exchange their goodbyes. Like the adventures before them, Zak tells Chico and Ignatious that he isn’t interested in joining the guild right now but knows where to find them if he does. After all there was someone else he was searching for.
