Story 

The group pushed further into the mines following the trails of blood and drag marks.  opening into a vast multilayered cavern the group where ambushed by several of the ant like creatures.   After a valiant fight with the group coming out vicotorious they searched around to discover at least one more of the people they were chasing had been attack and dragged away with the final, remaining person following.

The group followed and came to another mined out cave, this time full of deep white smoke.  Searching around they realised that the drag marks continued into the smoke, followed by the boots but then followed by several of the ant like creatures.   On exploration the group found a shallow depression in the middle of chamber with a number of glowing carapaces.  They surmised that the remaining man had been caught in a dynamite blast which triggered the infused ghost rock in the carapaces of the creatures to ignite into a massive fire killing him and several of the tunneling ants.

The drag marks continues westwards to a part mined chamber which still held a number of pieces of dynamite in the granite rock around the Ghost rock.  The missing body was being devoured by baby creatures as the group arrived.  It rose in the air - and spoke to the group through psychic means telling them that a black raven had come to them and led them here.  As the creature announced through the body it wanted to eat fresh man flesh trinity blew the mans skull apart and the cave erupted into writhing creatures including a massive 8ft long beast that seemed to be the natural leader.

The battle was well fought and the group claimed several pounds of loose ghost rock.  They rejoined the deadwood stage, and headed to eastmans creek.  Padre spun a tale over whiskey that night of their encounter in the mines -raising the mood of the locals (And reducing the fear level to 2)
