Theme Music is now mandatory

The hole Jason carved with his fist forms a perfectly circular entryway into a deeper galley of the pyramid...

Oddly enough, a staircase descends into the room at the exact level of the Claydol carving's face. Those who step through are greeted with a monstrous chamber more regal than one would expect from an ancient civilization; gold and silver glyphs decorate the stone floor molding, and beautiful lanterns seem to replace the primitive torches from before. The room is essentially a trapezoid, with the ceiling a tad smaller than the floor. There are three large entryways into rooms of varying colors.

To the left, there is a large metal archway with red runes painted on it. It seems a bit melted around the edges.

To the right, two marble pillars surround an entryway with blue reflections adorning the ceiling, sparkling like an ocean.

In the back of the room, there appears to be an entryway up as well. A spiral staircase seems to ascend into the entryway, which drips with vines and seemingly natural light.

In the center of the room is a small hole, an entrance that looks like a sewer pipe. It has a ladder down bolted to the back.

((This is essentially a hub room, so feel free to split off to whichever way suits your fancy!))

Jones shakes his head, wiping away a gobbet of blood from his nose, which had begun to bleed again when the energy wave had smacked into him. "I think we destroyed it utterly. I'm sorry we had to do it, but we didn't have a choice." Jones eyes the shards that the others have scooped up, as well as his own collection, before nodding and following after Merchant. "Hey Merchant. Got a deal I want to propose to you."

Merchant pauses.
"Merchant is listening. What does the Explorer propose?"

Jones pulls out a Red Shard and holds it up. "I have the technical knowledge to take these, and combine them into evolution stones and type booster gems. I have almost enough for a Fire Stone, and a Water Stone. What I propose is that if you were to give me the materials to complete those stones, you may sell them. In return I want either a 50% cut of the profits, or that Big Root you scooped up and a permanent 10% discount on your services and wares. In return, once I have accrued the capital to obtain a Dowsing Rod of my own, I will continue to supply you with more stones. As my studies progress, I can also create other items out of the shards of a more lasting nature, that you can sell for a larger profit. Interested?"

The garbed man pauses, calculating the numbers.

"Merchant will accept the second transaction. The need for the root is not very strong, and Merchant believes he can get better prices on Stone Sales.

As for discount, Merchant can extend it to any of his priced services or wares, though his Mon and Egg sales are all priced at time of sale anyway."
Merchant hands over the four shards and the root.
"Merchant will be willing to swap eggs, clones, or Pokemon for items and stones in the future if you bring them. Merchant is open to all forms of capital."

Jones nods, looking rather pleased. "I'll have the first two stones to you in the morning then. It takes some time to properly shape and assemble the shards. I can also make type-booster Gems as needed, but those would have to be on commission since they're not as useful and are only good for one shot." He pockets the root and the shards. "If you're heading to Fir's tent, I need to speak to him about the possibility of acquiring a Dowsing Rod, as well as handing over the cash he wanted for installing that healing machine. I understand that was your doing?"

Merchant nods.

"Yes, Merchant's previous dealings with the current Johto Professor has brought some good will, and it has been arranged for a healing machine to be brought in for 8000. Merchant does not have data on current prices, but Merchant believes that the Professor is footing some of the bill in hopes of future business deals. "

Jones nods. "Fir said that he needed 1500 from each of us to foot the remainder of the bill, and that he'd cover what was left. Provided that all four of us chip in, that's 6000 from us, and then 2000 from Fir."

"Yes, that sounds correct. Merchant is curious if defeating the Claydol will pay end up paying our shares for us."

Jones lets out a small laugh. "One can only hope. Otherwise I'm going to be broke and out of pokeballs and other necessities for the foreseeable future."

Stefan eyes the staircase but leaves it be. The night was late and he needed rest.
