Objectives
Escort the Frightened Miner through the Kaja'mite Cavern.
- Kaja'mite Ore mining a success!
Description
They're all over the inside of the cavern, mining... with picks! It's just not nature and I'm sure it's because of the Kaja'mite!
None of my miners have come back out. I don't have many left! You can see my predicament, <name>.
<The foreman lowers his voice.>
These guys are nowhere near as good as my old group of jungle trolls. Ah, those were the days.
Maybe you can escort my last miner here through the cavern and keep those monkeys off of him? We need that Kaja'mite!

Progress
How did it go? How much Kaja'mite were you able to get?
Completion
We've hit the mother lode!!!
Now, what's all this about a pygmy witchdoctor in charge of the monkeys? Is he dead? Because if he's dead, then legally I can stake my claim... not that I wasn't going to do that anyway. By goblin law, all Kaja'mite belongs to us!
Notes
- On accept
- Foreman Dampwick says: The kaja'mite has gone and made these monkeys smart! Keep that miner safe, <name>.
- Frightened Miner says: Okay, here we go. You're gonna cover me, right?
- If the miner dies you can talk to Dampwick who spawns another one
Er, Dampwich, I need another miner....
- What?! You think I'm made out of miners?
- How bad can it be in there?
- Reaching the first cave painting
- Frightened Miner says: Whoa! What's with all of the cave paintings? Ack, do I hear monkeys?!
- Reaching a deposit
- Frightened Miner says: I can't get anything else out of this one.
- Frightened Miner says: Did I ever tell you that I was a mid-level accountant with the company back on Kezan? I worked for you for years. Do you even know my name?
- Frightened Miner says: The monkeys already extracted most of the Kaja'mite out of this deposit.
- Frightened Miner says: What I wouldn't give for some explosives right about now.
- Frightened Miner says: That's good enough for now. I'll make my way out on my own. Thanks for the escort, <name>. (final deposit)
- Leaving a deposit
- Frightened Miner says: Let's move on.
- Frightened Miner says: I can't get anything else out of this one.
- Frightened Miner says: This chunk's been picked clean.
- Pygmy
At the end of the cave, a pygmy witchdoctor is standing next to a Dead Orc Scout who offers [1-20] Orcs Can Write?.
