Mining!

Goma agrees and uses the horn to empower Yulia, "thanks! Now then... Six it is!" she says and heads over to the 6th spot and hits it with the pickaxe, the wall crumbles easily and behind it there's just a pile of already smelted steel ingots. 8 in total.

"Nice!" Yulia says and then moves to 2. she whacks it and once again the wall simply crumbles with little to no effort on her part. Behind it however is a simple empty area with a message carved onto the wall that says "NOTHING!!!!"

Yulia looks disappointed and then looks to three and four. The voices are divided on this one. She looks to the pickaxe and it looks like it will break with one more hit, but she casts repair on it quickly and it is back up to normal, she could probably do both, but which first.

"Hey Cherchiel, come here!" she calls and Cherchiel hesitantly approaches, her and Goma having moved to stand by the exit just in case.

"There's this game we used to play, me and my friends, we'd often use it to decide who did what chores, it's simple," she says and proceeds to explain the concept of rock, paper scissors to cherchiel, once Cherchiel has it down, Yulia continues, "alright... Now we play. If you win we do 4, if I win we do 3," she says and Cherchiel nods.

Cherchiel nods and they play. Cherchiel wins and Yulia nods, "Alright, back to the entrance with Goma and put your shield up just in case," she says as she heads over to the cracked wall.

She takes a deep breath and then strikes the wall and the wall crumbles. Behind it there's two simple gems, a black one and a light blue one with a yellow sheen, "Nethicite and Solanium?" she says with awe and takes them, "We struck it good, girls!" she says and Cherchiel nods.

"Should we still try 3?" Cherchiel asks and Yulia hesitates. The knocking is still insistent and she sighs. Let's do it. There's still a possibility of more rare materials..." she says and readies to strike the wall.

As the pickaxe hits, it smashes through a simple section of wall and hits something else on the other side, a hard metal surface, as the pick collides with the metal it flashes off sparks and the next second there's a wave of heat. The ensuing explosion launches Yulia back, pieces of rock, metal and debris being launched with her and she screams as it tears through her clothes and skin, she can't hear her own scream or Cherchiel and Goma's concerned screaming over the roar of the explosion. It all ends moments later with Yulia lying on the ground. Her scapula is badly torn in multiple places, a piece of metal is lodged into her mask just over her eye and her body is covered in deep, painful looking cuts, but she's breathing. The pickaxe has completely disintegrated. Cherchiel is by her side in a moment with Goma following just behind her.

Yulia lets out a pained whimper, her scapula and her underwear are almost completely destroyed, leaving her battered body almost fully exposed. Goma casts a quick heal. before Cherchiel and Goma do their best to carry Yulia to the rest area to rest. Luckily they did not forget to grab the ores they found as well, it would be a shame if they got nothing out of this experience.

Yulia and the others rest at the rest area.

Afterwards Yulia, recovered, repairs her destroyed clothes and the damage done to her mask. The lantern path has vanished.
