Oi lass, ye in luck! I was planning something similar this weekend (friday, 9pm est) going to the rift to git diamonds with Timmulty to help him train his enchanting, and me my ringmaking. We're going to try mining heavily this weekend, at least till I can manage to set poor Arkolio and Elinmire's rings, both of them looking for some intelligence boosting ones that I unfortunately had in stock. In our trips we usually do round-robin divisions, meaning nobody gets a 2nd one until everybody at least gets one, with rolling done to see who gets theirs first, and keep mining till we all git some! hehehe! Of course in yer led trip, feel free ter divide anyhow ye see fit. I try puttin in extra hours make sure thar ah surplus ter work with, and nobody left out. Usually we get maybe 5-10 a night or so if we're lucky, sometimes only 3 per trip, sometimes hit it big and get a dozen in one. Don't really delve too too far past the rivers, cause the currents are quite deadly and here I am, 440lbs in a heavy platemail! The spiders and giants not too big ah problem, the dark elfs we may need ah frontliner or two more just cause they can slip past meh. Prolly bring Timulty the mage, Wee Willy the sharpshooter, Flynn the skald most trips, hoping Snagnor the Pieman show up too.
I heard good things about ye from me people, so ye be more than welcome ter coom along this friday, and I'll help ye on any other trips I can make mesself available for. I prolly wont be able to make the one tomorrow night, since I work up until then, and it takes me about an hour or so after to get back home and settled in, but I might just lounge around Dalanthar side mining gold and topaz fer Timmy in case you making multiple trips, catch ye on the next one that night.
Also, ye said ye needin diamonds fer scrolls? If by crushed diamond dust, I have ah good bag of mebbe 17 ounces worth ye kin just have outright. I never use the stuff mesself, bue by Dorand, it's meh duty as his Defender ter make certain none of the valuable byproducts go ter waste. Just say ah little prayer fer luck in the crafthall fer him ter help ye craftin afore ye use em, all I ask!
