Vesal's healing do a lot to help the miners. You give them food and water which boosts their spirits and improves their health as well. After your administrations, they feel that they could return to Fort Bandu on their own.
The miners also inform you that kobold raiders kidnapped 10 or more members of their crew and marched them off deeper into the Bandu Hills—likely to what the miners believe is a major kobold settlement in a forested valley about 15 miles away. They’re able to provide basic directions to the settlement.
Looking through the camp for food and water, you come upon some Gold Crown Company logbooks. They detail the discovery of an abundant vein of silver nearby that they have worked to keep secret from their competitors.
Exchange Faction
This mining operation opens up two mutually exclusive opportunities for members of the Exchange faction. On one hand, the faction PCs use their rescue of the miners to impress the Golden Crown Company, leveraging their heroism to secure a lucrative deal or contract. Even if all the miners are slain,
returning the logbooks to a Golden Crown representative in Fort Bandu would be an important sign of goodwill.
Alternatively, the PCs could sell the mine’s location to the Deeptreasure Mining Company (a much more
powerful, albeit less scrupulous operation). In doing so, the Exchange would gain an even more powerful friend in the region while sabotaging its competitor’s investments in the region.
