Linette 	So, are you ready to join the Miners' Guild?
Linette 	Oh. Are you quite certain? I felt sure that you were destined to make the next big find... I pictured you grinning next to a lump of gold the size of your head.
Linette 	'Tis truly a shame, but if you still have your doubts, there is no help for it. Should you be struck by a sudden desire to amass untold wealth, I shall be here to help.
Linette 	Music to my ears! Aye, the kind made when one's pickaxe strikes gold!
Linette 	You must introduce yourself to Guildmaster Adalberta right away.
Linette 	Her approval is required if you are to be formally admitted to our ranks.
Linette 	In case you're unaware, Adalberta is perhaps the most accomplished of those miners who still swing a pickaxe.
Linette 	Her understanding of our trade is unsurpassed, and her flair for prospecting uncanny. Her brain, in short, is a veritable gold mine of knowledge─much of it concerning the mining of gold.
...Ha ha! Jesting apart, you stand to learn a great deal from her.
Linette 	When you are ready, pray present yourself to Adalberta. You will find her down the steps yonder, over by the bar.
 	
Adalberta 	Well met, adventurer. Adalberta's my name, and I'm the master of this guild.
Adalberta 	I take it you wish to become a miner. Well, our doors are open to all who aren't afraid to work hard and get dirty.
Adalberta 	Thanks to recent advances in refining techniques, it's now possible to smelt even low-purity ores. I mention this because it's allowed us to reopen a number of mines which were long thought exhausted, prompting trade to flourish.
Adalberta 	Truth be told, with business as it is at the moment, we can't take on enough new miners. And few folk make better miners than adventurers, you being a hardy lot.
Adalberta 	What's more, you're well traveled, which serves to expand the guild's sphere of activity. Oh, but I'm not suggesting you join solely for our benefit.
Adalberta 	For your part, you'll acquire skills that will prove to your profit─a mutually beneficial arrangement, I trust you'll agree. So what say you? You will join us, yes?
Adalberta 	This is...unexpected. You have so much to gain and nothing to lose. Won't you reconsider?
Adalberta 	Then I bid you welcome to the Miners' Guild! May your toils never go unrewarded!
Adalberta 	Now then, here's a pickaxe to get you started. It's not the newest, but it should serve a novice well enough.
Adalberta 	Go on and take it up─see how it feels in your hands.
Adalberta 	Speak to me again when you're ready, and I'll assign you a little task to help you get into the swing of things.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
