Theme Music is now mandatory

The torches lining the gravelly passageway abruptly stop, but the cavernous passageway is still seemingly lit. After a minute of shuffling, the source becomes obvious: bio-luminescent crystals are growing in the wall! They are small and round, but give off great amounts of light. The passage carries on for a while under this crystal light, but finally opens up into a bigger room.

The room in question is somewhat round and appears centralized, as two other passages split out the back wall and the right wall. The walls are not far from each other, ceiling is rather low, and there is no decor to be had. A few chests line the left wall, but most are open and obviously empty. A few barrels of gear, similar to the factory, sit next to the back passage's entrance. The back passage also is lined with wooden supports, to suggest the look of a mining operation.

The two explorers move down the left path... after a straight walk, they come upon yet another fork. The path continues forward, but also veers left in another passage.

There's also a small arrow etched into the ground, pointing left. It looks recent.

"HMM!"

Barnaby attempts t use his Pokemon Education to figure out if a pokemon carved the arrow, and if so what kind.

Barnaby discerns that... no Pokemon carved this arrow! At least not with a part of their body; it was carved by a pick.

"Well, it looks like a miner wants us to go this way."

Barnaby follows the arrow, because that seems the wisest thing to do.

Stefan follows Barnaby.

"This could have been left by Jones. I don't think he'd point an arrow towards danger or something unexplored, so its a good idea to follow it."

Barnaby and Stefan make their way down the left hall... but after a few minutes of zoned-out walking, the two stumble onto a sudden incline! (Athletics/Acrobatics)

Barnaby quickly turns the heels of his boots to be parallel with the slope, trying to gain some balance.

Stefan crouches low, using his hands to help crawl up the slope on all fours.

After a brief two seconds of sliding, the two trainers manage to balance themselves; the rest of the climb down is lengthy and a little taxing, but somewhat easy.

Halfway down, the two trainers hear a 'rhythmic thunking', like pickaxe against stone.

"Oh! Johny must have made his way down here! Lets offer a good hello!"

Barnaby continues down the slope to the sounds of picking to assist his compatriot in the harvesting of crystals. Because that is clearly whats going on. After all, there couldn't be any REAL miners still in the ruins, right?
