When the others join them outside near the mine, Nydilind tells them of the old men's visit last night. "They said that there is a curse on the mine. Anyone who enters the mine and leaves not in the presence of the Healer will be aged." She involuntarily shudders at the thought and continues, "They claimed that they were but 16 years old a short time ago, but they clearly looked to be at the end of their life. I do not know about you, but I believe in curses, as I have seen their effects. I would hope that we all have all that we need before we enter."

Nydilind then checks over her own belongings, hoping that she will have everything she needs before they enter the mine. "I am ready to enter and seek this healer now."
