While it had been warm earlier, now it seems even hotter, whether from being inside the chilly still air of the caverns or whether from something else is hard to tell.After swimming down briefly and then back out, the light seems far too bright, but that's probably from being underground for so long. Once your heads breach the surface, you can smell brimstone and something charred, like grain cooked too long. The trees around the grove are no longer afire but they clearly were not long ago. Doyle sits on the edge of the pool.As he had reported, the snow is melted in large chunks, as if balls of fire and detonated within the grove. There's no sign of the nature priest from earlier. A dull roar, like the voices of a mob, can be heard from westward toward the main campus, and a similar sound can be heard southward, from the docks, although a lot fainter -- perhaps due to the distance.</blockquote>
