All our hunters have made it back up to the Bridgeburn Mine to investigate the possibilities of Tommy Knockers.

Following the explosion and mine collapse, everyone is on edge and looking for answers. Henry is consulting with KT Bridgeburn about how he can help. Bill is trying to figure out what exactly is causing the mines to be so dangerous.

There has been an accident at the Bridgeburn Mine and Smelting company, and the only hope is that they can save the miners, and that above all else, that this does not mark the 13th death.
