The Entrance To Echoes Cavern
Vespera hurried back toward the Bedrock Outpost with the Codex clutched in her hands. Harrison was the one who had first told her about Echoes Cavern and the landslide blocking it off. If anyone could show her where to find the hidden entrance, it would be him!
"Welcome back, Vespera!" Harrison greeted her as she walked into the mining shop.
"Hi, Harrison!" Vespera said. "Are you busy? I could use your help with something."
"I reckon I can spare a moment or two," Harrison smiled. "What do you need?"
"Could you please show me the entrance to Echoes Cavern?" Vespera asked. "I want to get a closer look. Yara over at Timeless Relics sold me this Codex It has all kinds of interesting information in it about Digging and Burrowing. I think it could help us gain access to Echoes Cavern again -- but I won't know for sure until I see the place for myself."
Harrison nodded along. "Yara's a good sort. That Codex ought to come in real handy. I'd be happy to show you the way, although I'll warn you...there's not much to see right now. It's mostly a big old pile of dirt!"
Harrison led the way through Sienna Canyon's main streets and out toward the outskirts of town. Vespera followed the miner down trails that he navigated with the ease of long familiarity, showing the way as the path twisted through valleys and gorges.
Finally, Harrison stopped and gestured at the cliff wall ahead with a sweeping arm. "There she is," he said. "I'm sure you can see the problem."
The problem was absolutely clear: The upper part of the cliffside had collapsed in a massive spill of dirt and stone, forming an enormous pile that completely blocked whatever had been found there before.
"I do see," Vespera replied softly. "The entrance to Echoes Cavern is behind all of that?" She walked closer and knelt to examine the dirt and debris more closely.
"That it is," Harrison agreed. "It'll take some serious elbow grease to shift all that soil."
Vespera smiled, taking the Codex out of her pack. "That, or we'll just need the right kind of help! According to this, a Minimal that knows how to Burrow could make short work of digging through here. But that means we need to find and tame one..."
"There are all sorts of critters that live around the Canyon. Maybe the right sort of helper will show up soon!" Harrison replied.
"Thanks for showing me the entrance," Vespera said. "Let's go back to town for now, and work on a plan to dig inside!"
Hidden Treasures Beneath The Earth
Another set of ores have received a gorgeous art update! These precious materials are hidden deep within Santae's caves and caverns, patiently waiting to be unearthed by adventurous miners sometime soon.
Vespera and the people of Sienna Canyon have almost everything they need to unblock Echoes Cavern and allow Adventurers to explore it's depths. Now is a great time to stock up on equipment at the Bedrock Outpost and prepare to start Mining in the next few days!
