Miner's Fortune
Wharfmaster Dizzywig of Ratchet catches wind of an extraordinary discovery at the Venture Company's Boulder Lode Mine: an emerald the size of a fist. Rather than letting the ruthless mining syndicate profit from it, Dizzywig hires an adventurer to liberate the Cats Eye Emerald from the mine's supervisors for a split of the profits.
Quest text
Being Wharfmaster of a busy port like Ratchet, I keep my finger on the pulse of information. I know all about the exchange of goods and money between here and Booty Bay.
The latest bit of news I've heard is about the Venture Company's Boulder Lode mine northeast of the Sludge Fen. One of the miners discovered an emerald the size of your fist. I know a few buyers who'd be interested in getting their hands on something like that, and I'd be willing to go half and half on its sale.
Progress
If only we knew which one of the miners had found the emerald, it'd be a walk in the park...

Look at the size of that thing, friend! We're going to be rich! Let's see, according to the rates I've seen on gems going into Undermine, I should be able to figure out your cut--fifty percent, don't worry!
Now let's see... I think this should do about right. Pleasure doing business with you, friend.
