You really have to wonder why they gave us guns...
Keep mining further and further along.
Careful tempting fate like that...You find that sporadically mining is not much more effective than mining in one spot. Also the echoes of the pick are starting to mess with your head. It sounds like there's too many strikes.
Status: Unharmed. Armed with a holstered six-shot revolver, fully loaded with seemingly normal bullets. Wearing a soot-covered poncho, and a backpack. Wielding a pickaxe. You have about a pound of crystal in your backpack.
This may take a while. . .

The pick bounces off a rough patch of crystal and you stagger backwards. There is a visible crack in the crystal now but it's not much.
Status: Unharmed. Armed with a holstered six-shot revolver, fully loaded with seemingly normal bullets. Wearing a soot-covered poncho, a helmet illuminating your way and a backpack. Wielding a pickaxe. Your backpack contains a few ounces of crystals now.

Jim had been a shepherd in life. Got killed in a grazing dispute with neighbors. He read James Joyce in life, but beyond that most of his interests were in the here and now: drinking, casual gambling, keeping his flock with his brothers and cousins.
Jim stares at the weird dancing skeleton. Hell seemed cheerier than he pictured it all the times he was told he'd go there. Still if he had to dance like that, he felt he'd understand the depths of eternal damnation.
