Shmu

"'I'm sure we can make a deal.'"Shmu is the second NPC of Ruby Caverns to be encountered and freed. He unlocks the first Shop in the dungeon, and appears in the Main Area to sell Amulets for rubies.

In Dungeon

In the Prison area, two additional keys can be found. They can be used on the cell where Shmu is locked into. After destroying the bars and freeing him, he appears in the Main Area for good, and every following run in the Prison.

As the shopkeeper, he sells basic materials like arrows, iron, and food; mostly items that are always useful.

In Main Area

When talked to, he will mention the fact that he has the Thief's amulets as well. The player can buy one, two or three of them for 3, 5 or 7 Rubies. [Haha, no.] [I'd like one...] [I'd like two.] [I'd like three!] [Haha, no.] will do nothing.

[I'd like one...] will remove 3 Rubies, and you start the next run with 1 Amulet.

[I'd like two.] will remove 5 Rubies, and you start the next run with 2 Amulets.

[I'd like three!] will remove 7 Rubies, and you start the next run with 3 Amulets.

The amulets work the same as the Thief's, but do not stack with his. They can be used as any class, including the Thief himself, for a longer gold bonus.
