Assistance 1 –241 A Hill Giant Refuge
"Go to the home of the hill giants home, and show them skill at mining."

Help the miners out in Hill Giant Refuge. Push/pull the cart (in either mine) under a giant miner. Give him an iron pick axe and he'll mine faster. When you have ore or gems (depending on the side), pull the cart to the mine supervisor and pull the lever. He will pay you, and on a moderately good random chance, award you this mark.

  The lowest level of the village is also the dirtiest.  No signs of grass
or any plant life is visible, only crushed rocks and dirt.  A steep cliff
rises high above the mine entrance, but due to some strategically carved
handles, it seems scalable.  To the south, a track has been placed on the
ground leading into a cave where giants can be heard slamming large objects
into the rocks.

  Covered in dirt, a giant stone archway leads down a tall narrow path to
the west.  Rocks of all sizes are scattered about the area and a wide track
is barely visible under a layer of dirt.  To the north a towering cliff
looks as though many have climbed it to the higher plateau.  A large sign
hangs above the entrance to the mines.  
     A large cart is here on the tracks, ready to be pushed or pulled away.
     A small glass vial of lamp oil has been dropped here.
A hill giant stands at the entrance supervising the miners inside.

You enter the dark and dirty mine to the west.

  This dark and stuffy mine is stunningly tall and just as wide.  Large
fragments of rock have fallen to the ground throwing up a constant cloud of
dust.  Loose dirt covers a long railway that is used as a track for a mine
cart.  The miner's clubs loudly echo through the mine and no wind blows
through the entrance to the east, making it hard to breathe.
     A large cart is here on the tracks, ready to be pushed or pulled away.
A hill giant is mining iron by attacking the wall with his club.

Lyneirari not sure if this right or not, but after giving the pick-axe to the giant and he first starts using it the first time and stuff falls into cart is when is when you get the mark.
Ethne TIP: If the cart is already at the Entrance, PUSH it west (instead of pulling it). Also, only iron pickaxes work, and you have to be visible when you give it to the giant.

I also received a bit of gold with the mark:
