The behemoth pyramid stretches nearly fifty meters tall, with a long set of stairs climbing up the south side. From a distance, one can spy a good deal of light glistening in the stone hallway leading to the antechamber of the pyramid. Within minutes of setting foot on the clay stones that form the ground, the chattering of researches and gloating of treasure hunters fills any daring adventurer's ears.

The antechamber itself is stocked full of tents and lanterns, as well as the people who brought them. A research team of 50 people has decided to set up a base camp right in the mouth of the Clay Pyramid; close enough to tell the light of day, yet far enough into the stonework to feel overwhelmed by the tall tunnel they call home. A number of archaeologists have been painstakingly examining the Pokemon carvings that adorn the walls of the antechamber, while some of the laborers are taking an early break from clearing out the space for living. Lanterns are placed evenly around the chamber, and generators for laptops and machines are scattered about less frequently. From the wall opposite of the entrance, a massive set of stone double doors nearly 10 meters tall casts an ominous gaze on the whole party of researchers.

In the center of the base camp, a sign has been affixed to the ground, reading: "Explorers Needed! See Inside", pointing a large tent to the left. Rife, hearty laughter can be heard from inside.

Merchant finds him opposite the food tent, crunching numbers on a clipboard. He sighs as Merchant huddles toward him. "What do you want?"

"Merchant will have a special dining opportunity tomorrow for a select group. Merchant figured the director of such a large operation must be tired of the normal normal food. You will come, yes?"
Merchant's wheels were turning. A favor owed in the mind of the top scientist could be useful. And at the least the feeling that a favor is owed is almost as useful as a written one.

Fir's interest is piqued. "Good food? I'll think about it. Tomorrow, though, we should all be getting some sleep."

With that, Fir retires to his tent.

Stefan waves away the assistance, noticing how quiet the chamber is. He hadn't realized how long he had been in there, how long the fight had taken.

"I'm fine. Those zubat are pretty clever. I took on three of them, and when they couldn't scratch Krieger they came for me. I just need to sleep it off a bit."

He glances back as he hobbles to his cot.

"Still, I guess its what I came for. Life-and-death struggles, near-death experiences, and the exhausting thrill of victory."

Setting his alarm for six hours, he bandages up Krieger. It was too late, he was too exhausted to go to Violet tonight. He soon collapses on the cot.

The day ends after hours of toil. The Numel have tucked themselves into Jones's tent, Jason is nursing his wounds with sleep, and the other two revel in their caps.

Merchant rushes through the Antechamber, looking behind to see the progress of the hoard. If any are still falling, he yells to the door guardians.

"Close it, close it! Angry Fatpeople, mad they lost!"
