Meribian Sewers

	When you arrive in Meribia, Nash will leave the party for now. He says that if you need him, that he will be on Black Rose Street. Ramus says that he wants to find a place to sell the Diamond. Before you do so, check the town out. The Mansion of Master Mel is at the northeast part of town. Check it out and talk with Mel. He doesn't say much, but you learn about his daughter Jessica.
Don't bother buying any new equipment just yet. Head to the Jeweler's shop (the one with the diamond). Talk with Dross and sell your Diamond. He says that he will pay 4000 Silver for the Diamond. Agree to it and he will take the Diamond and not return. Ramus thinks that they have been scammed. Follow him. Talk to the 1st guy and he will say that Dross ran by there Chuckling. Go down to the next guy and he will say that only magic can harm monsters in these sewers.
	Nall wishes that Nash was with them. Go to Black Rose Street (to the west side of town). Go to the building furthest north and talk with Nash. He says that this shop can draw out magic if you have it. Talk to the man behind the counter and he will draw out Alex's magic. Alex can now use magic, but Ramus still cannot. Nash will not join just yet, but at least now you can defend yourself with Magic.
Before going back into the Sewers to get the Diamond back, exit town and head east. Follow the road directly east and you will find Althena's Shrine. You can rest here anytime. While you are outside, take some time to gain some levels. The Monsters here are much stronger but give out more silver and experience. Fight around the shrine until Alex learns Flamer (which is around level 14). Also save up around 2700 Silver for a Carapace Armor for Alex.
	Buy a few Jasmines and Starlights. Have Ramus and Alex equip them. When ready, head into the Meribian Sewers in the Jeweler's shop. Head straight down until you come to the 1st door. The monsters in here can be killed only by magic, so have Ramus Flee and Alex use Flamer (save time and magic). From the fork, head right and weave around until you come to a crossroads. Go up for a Starlight and right to continue.
Take the first of the two paths going down. Go down and left. Follow and take the last path going left. Weave around to the T and go right. Grab the Starlight in the chest. Recover Alex's HP and MP before heading to the door. Save then go up towards the door, where you will be met by a Water Dragon (your first boss).
	This boss can only be affected by Magic. It has 250 HP and a nearly limitless supply of MP. Have Alex use Flame on the Water Dragon and Ramus Flee. If Alex's HP should get low, have Ramus use a Jasmine. If Alex's MP gets low, have Ramus use a Starlight. Don't worry if Ramus gets killed, just have Alex heal himself when needed. About 10 rounds should kill it. If Ramus is dead, then Alex can take all the Exp. (which I encourage).
Head down the stairs. Take both Starlights from the chests. Talk to Dross. He first offers 1000 Silver for it. Deny it and he offers 2000 Silver. Deny it again and he offers 3000 Silver, which is all he has. You can beat him up, but he still only offers 3000 Silver. Take the offer and he will leave saying that he will do nothing but honest business from now on. Ramus takes 1/2 of the money which leaves Alex with 1500 Silver. Not bad.
	Make your way out of the Sewers. When you come to the entrance of the Jeweler's Shop, unequip Ramus of everything and then talk to Nash. He says that Alex should study Magic. He then offers Alex to go to Vane and study magic. Accept the offer and Nash will join, but Ramus will leave, saying that Magic is beyond his grasp. Give Nash Ramus' old Gloves and Leather Clothes. Sell the rest of it and buy Nash a Bow. Buy Alex a Leather Gauntlet and a Helmet, but no new weapon.
As you leave town, Nash says that you can find a Transfer Fountain to Vane far south of Meribia near the foot of the Mountain Range. Exit town and heal at Althena's Shrine. To get to the Fountain, follow the road south. Don't take any of the side roads, and eventually you should reach the fountain. Save here.
