A Crumbling Hole~
The loose rock around you crumbles at every breath, but the underlying

foundation of rock and sun-baked sand seems solid enough.  A dark hole

descends into the loose earth at your feet, yet the air seeping up from

the depths below is warm and smells of brimstone, not the cool air one

expects from a cave.  The rock wall to the east seems brittle.

A Dark Hole~
Nearly vertical, this dark hole descends into the putrid bowels of the

earth.  Natural footholds at irregular yet steady intervals make the

descent a relatively easy one.  Above you, deteriorating rock forms a

strange crumbling hole leading toward the surface.  From below rises the

acrid smell of brimstone.

A Dark Cavern Smelling of Brimstone~
While there is no true light source in this dark cavern, something to the

north glows a dull red-orange.  The air is decidedly hot and stale,

smelling strongly of brimstone.  A small, dark hole leads up, toward

cooler desert air.  The floor at your feet is smooth, flawless obsidian. 

There has definitely been some volcanic activity in this region.  A black

corridor leads north toward the red glow.

Dull Red Cavern~
A massive cavern vaults above you, easily a hundred feet overhead and a

hundred more wide.  More impressive still is the fact that the majority

of the cavern's width north to south is a sixty-foot wide river of

@Rmolten lava@n.  The hundred million or so tons of lava send simmering

waves of heat and a low wavelength of red light across the cavern,

outlining openings in the cavern walls at various points.  Obsidian

ledges follow the lava flow to the east and west, while a dark corridor

leads south away from the river.  There is no discernable way across the

lava.

The rock floor climbs upwards from west to east in this cavern, which is

over a hundred feet high.  The black ceiling of the cavern is made of

glassy obsidian and it reflects the great @Rlava@n flow to the north. 

The flow itself is over fifty feet in width and widens further as it

almost entirely bridging the river of molten rock.

This smooth ledge of glassy obsidian slowly climbs upwards from west to

east.  The ledge narrows to only a few feet at some points and you eye

the river of lava to your north with some apprehension.  The ledge seems

to bend northward to your near east, and it begins to bridge the river of

lava below as it hugs the eastern walls of the cavern.  To your north you

can make out the far ledge on the other side of the river.  It seems to

allow access to the rest of the cavern.

About fifty feet below you, the hot molten river flows westward where it

Obsidian Ledge~
This ledge of black obsidian climbs ever upwards from west to east.  The

ledge widens and narrows, making travel more difficult at points.  A hot

lava flow runs westward far below you and volcanic gases rise up from the

lava to choke you from your vantage point.  A similar ledge parallels

this one across the molten river but it is a few feet lower.  It nearly

intersects this ledge, which bends northward to the east as it almost

bridges the gap of the lava flow.

This obsidian ledge bends here, walled in to the north and east by the

black rock.  It shines and undulates as it reflects the fiery lava flow

below you to the southwest.  To the west, the ledge parallels the river

of lava flowing in the same direction.  To the south, the ledge extends

to lean precariously over the flow of lava, but you notice that the

Obsidian Ledge - Cave Entrance~
This obsidian ledge leans over a molten river of lava to your south.  The

lava is the source for light in the cavern but the black obsidian absorbs

most of it, and the cavern is extremely dark despite the hot, red flow. 

The ledge slowly descends as it travels from the east to the west,

finally descending to the level of the lava which lies sixty feet below

you.  Despite the distance, the air here is unusually hot and humid.  To

your north, a large hole has been made in the black obsidian, about ten

feet in diameter.  Long ago, a flow of lava must have melted through the

thick rock and left this opening in the cavern.

Obsidian Chamber~
A large, bowl-shaped chamber has been melted out of the solid obsidian

rock, lit a fierce red by the simmering pool of lava in the center of the

room.  A narrow catwalk, about six feet wide, circumvents the pool,

roughly circular in shape.  A tunnel leads through the rock to the north

and away from the intense heat.

Skirting the edge of the molten pool, a narrow ledge of smoothest

obsidian offers little in the way of footing.  Precariously, it slants

toward the bubbling magma.

pool lava~
This pool of lava has naturally melted the rock here into the smooth bowl

it resides in.  Thick spurts of rock randomly shower the air with a red

rain, while colder, nearly solid rock floats on top, churning around

actively.  The pool's deep red glow provides a fair amount of light to

this chamber.

~
E
obsidian rock~
The black, glass-like obsidian of this chamber is very smooth and

circularly surrounds the room.  Most likely the chamber was caused by

some great bubble of air trapped within the lava.  It shines the pool's

light off its dark surface and reflects its red glow about the room.

Bend in the Obsidian Tunnel~
To the east, you can make out a bright glow of red, probably from a lava

stream or pool that has emerged from the ground.  The black rock flickers

along the sides of the east tunnel like a dark fire.  South of you, the

black rock leads into darkness, but you can feel a tiny breeze of air

which brings with it the rotten smell of sulfur.

Obsidian Chamber - Lava Pool~
A large pool of molten lava casts its dark red glow onto the black

obsidian of the walls of this bowl-like chamber, glinting a gleaming

@Rcrimson@n where it reflects off a small rock embedded in the north wall. 

A small tunnel leads into the rock to the west, away from the heat.

Along an Obsidian Tunnel~
This tunnel winds its way north and south, although it twists and turns

in some places.  A red glow comes from the north, flickering off of the

mirror-like obsidian walls.  You can feel a rumbling sound from below

your feet, perhaps a flow of lava.

The ground rumbles beneath your feet, like the murmuring of angry titans,

as the tunnel twists to the north and south to follow the flow of lava

deep below.  The crimson glow spills into the corridor from the north,

settling over the polished obsidian as though the walls themselves were

molten hot, with only the occasional shadow to remind the eye of the

depthless black that lies beneath.

Bend in the Obsidian Tunnel~
Here the tunnel bends, leading off to the south and the west.  A deep red

glow comes from the west, and the walls flicker slightly from its source. 

To the south, the tunnel becomes obscured by black rock and leads into

darkness.

red glow~
Like the coil of a serpent the tunnel rears upward slightly and to the

west, walls nearly as smooth as polished glass leaving little room for

footholds.  A rich crimson glow washes down the incline, bathing the

tunnel in a continuous wave of oppressive heat, setting the myriad of

mirrors ablaze with its touch.  To the south, the glow lingers and fades

into relative darkness.

Before a Great Lava Pool~
A massive pool of bright red lava lights this room up, reflecting off the

black obsidian.  The pool itself is alive, churning small spots of nearly

solid black rock about in its wake.  A sulfurous smell emanates from

small bubbles that pop out of the lava, and the air here is hot and

thick, clouded over in some areas by dark volcanic gases.  The red light

glints @Rcrimson@n off of a small rock embedded in the north wall.

Obsidian Tunnel - Red Glow~
The dark tunnel bends from south to west, heading toward the source of a

dull red-orange glow in the latter direction.  To the south, there seems

to be some sort of intersection in the darkness.  The walls are

featureless, flawless, the obsidian rock a solid face devoid of

imperfections.
