G.U.E.
COAL MINE #502
G.U.E. Coal Mine #502, located south of
Bozbarland
(in fact, the
amusement park's flume travels through it), was managed by
Ernie
Flathead. While the large mine was most likely abandoned when
the
capital was moved from
Egreth
to
Flatheadia in 771
GUE, the mindless
troglodytes continued
their rote tasks, working without masters as
though they were
robots
that had never been switched off. Before being
abandoned, one section was sealed with a heavy door guarded by
laser beams, thousands of flying daggers, and a hundred vicious
kobolds.
In 957 GUE, on a quest to rescue
Belboz
from
Jeearr, an
unknown sorcerer
passed through here, making several changes along
the way: the presence of the human was enough disturbance for the mine
entrance to collapse, thus making the air unbreathable with a build up
of coal gas; the combination lock on the door was broken, permitting
entrance to the closed off sector; and a secret scroll was stolen.
