The hunt for goldenfire (Afina and Jaela, later Surraruthru too)

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru blinks a bit as the fire rushes through him, his scales getting a darker orange tinge as it rushes out from his snout.

"Fire... Fire!" he clicks out a growling cackle at this.

"Yes, fire," Kascha says brightly, as Mirajane points ahead, already flying towards something.

[Corwin]

Jaela follows Mirajane's lead, even as her eyes seek out the stone platforms that were used to transport them during the previous visit.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru grins at Kascha before looking ahead at what Mirajane is pointing at, pulling his invisibility up again.

[Ebiris]

Afina's happy enough to remain on Arrel at least until they get inside the volcano itself.

[Anastasia]

Thus you fly up to the volcano. As you approach, the world goes topsy turvy. When you were ascending you are now descending, the party landing on the lip of the right ways up volcano. Below you can see a deep golden glow, and hovering in the center of the mouth is a stone slab with faint golden lights forming letters on it. Interestingly, you can see them shift as you come closer.

[Corwin]

Jaela alights to read them!

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru dutifully begins scanning for threats, eager to show the others his fearsome might and ability to protect Kascha!

[Anastasia]

You approach the slab. The writing is as follows, "Stand on the slab to resume your challenge."

[Corwin]

Lathander surely wrote this, Jaela muses. It really feels like him. Though maybe it was his partner, the secretive one. Maybe they'll even learn who that is.

"Time to get going!" she calls out to the others. "As soon as we're transported, we might end up in a fight. Just stick to the plan and remember to draw out the exposures to goldenfire when they happen."

[Ebiris]

Now that they've arrived Afina takes off from Arrel's back and flies over to join Jaela and Mirajane, taking a look at the sign and nodding before she alights on the slab.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru follows the others!

"L-" Mirajane begins as everyone lands on the slab, but reality breaks apart. You're somewhere else in an instant, a gush of goldenfire and little else. You stand in a room with walls of glittering diamonds, interlinked and half melted together. The walls are transparent and you can see goldenfire rushing all around you. There's no immediate door out or path to follow, but there is a sack lying in one corner of the room.

[Corwin]

"Challenge resumed, I guess," Jaela muses, looking down to see if another slab exists at their point of arrival that can take them away. "You were saying, Mirajane?"

[Anastasia]

There is no slab here. "Look out," Mirajane smiles just a little ruefully, "But it was faster than even I."
