Before the group headed for the mines, they needed to change some of their equipment. The leather gear was alright, but the arquebuses wouldn't be of much use inside the mines, which had narrow enclosed areas.
Durik gave the four of them kite shields made from wood and the bones of monsters. Sir Thalos did not accept the offer since his weapon was his fists, and he didn't really use a shield anymore, seeing as his body was sturdier than any shield.
Bram's spear and sword were also not something they could use in the mines. So was Lucen's Crimson Lord Mk IV.
They also couldn't use the iron spheres since in such an enclosed space, they might get hit or worse, cause a cave-in.
So Durik gave them staves with rune engravings on them. "I made these things to be able to withstand great pressure. It is also resistant to fire, and it won't snap against steel even if you strike it without using your aura mantles."
