If you think that you have accomplished one of my tasks simply ask me for a reward. In this case… <ask kastor about reward> Good luck.

This seems to be a very old and unused mine. Floor is covered with sharp rocks, that make walking very difficult. Walls show some signs of mining and some of them, to your surprise seem to be quite recent. It is dark in here and you can't see to far ahead.

One obvious exit: south. You notice a small niche in the wall.
