The guards in exterior outside mine will direct player to the interior saying the prospecting is taking longer that expected. If player misses them quest will start in cave. Prospector there is nervous to go further into cave because he is a coward. He asks you to bring back evidence of a sufficient supply of adamantium. Simple quest. Collect X amount of adamantium from the cave. Player may give adamantium to prospector for reward or attempt to keep it and the cave a secret.

-claim there is none - prospector knows you lied
player keeps all adam BUT the prospector leaves and when character exits cave he will be confronted by the prospector and guards (combat)

- very little - personality check
<success> you hand over a portion of adam
prospector expresses disappointment but comments he will be paid well for his expedition regardless.
the cave and prospecting camp are abandoned

<fail> prospector suspects you lied
the prospector leaves and when character exits cave he will be confronted by the prospector and guards (combat)
---------------------------------------------------------

Approached by or speaking with prospector (something like this):

"OH! You scared me just then. Tha, eh - its alright. You could help me you know."

"This cave has me on edge. I swear I heard sounds from inside the cave or saw something in the shadows. I'm just not cut out for this you know? There is adamantium here in this cave, I'm sure of it, I just need someone more adventurous than myself to help prove there's enough. If rumors are true, a whole lot of coin is in this. That's why I've chased rumors to this spot from Cyrodiil. So listen-"

"Collect some samples to show this cave has a supply of adamantium worthy of a mine. Bring me <X> adamantium and you will be very well rewarded."

The cave is empty except for darkness and a massive amount of mineral deposits.
