Lukas nodded as he drank his own flask. Euugh... He hated the bad taste that his potions left, but his palate had grown a bit numb to the weaker notes. His head throbbed as his brew began taking effect. He felt very conscious of his surroundings all of a sudden, and noticed that Karcher was a bit aware of something. No matter, for Lukas began trekking in the direction he had pointed, making sure his hire followed.

After a few minutes of walking, Lukas found himself and his partner at the mouth of the cave. Before entering, he felt something. Something was present in the cave, he was certain. He took a quick look at Karcher, and knew he knew as well. Lukas went ahead and went in first. He took a few steps in, and saw it was a rather steep slope downwards. He very carefully slid down the cave, and urged his companion to do the same. However, he wasn't really paying attention to much, except the cave itself. Lined with shards and flecks of various ores, a few herbs and weeds that managed to break in through the entrance, this place was loaded with many, many things he needed and wanted. But what caught his eye most was a wall of translucent stone, almost glowing a bright white. He passed his hands over it, and licked the sample. Yes, here it was. The pool of quicksilver, seeping through a weak spot in the wall. It was a massive deposit, gallons and gallons of it. He motioned at Karcher to do the honors.
