Anticipating the wave Sih held her breath and swam out of the cave system, the map clenched in her teeth. She emerged from the darkness into a small inlet, down past the main docks. She knew she could not go back to the Winking Lizard anytime soon, so she traveled back to the city through a quiet back road.
She met up with a short blonde hair man, just around the gate from The Company stockade.
"I heard the tunnels collapsed, did you get it?" he asked.
"Yes, buts it didn't go as... smoothly ... as I's planned." she replied. "Dids yous bring everything?"
The man dragged out two bags of what appeared to be mining gear, ropes, lanterns, a tent and an small brown sack.
He handed the small sack to her and she slowly undid the yellow string keeping the bag closed.
She looked into the bag and smiled, then quickly did it back up.
"We makes for the mines in the morning. I's needs to rest a bits first."
The two walked to the outskirts of the city and set up camp.
