It is.  They go around the trap then rest.  During this time Vale and Taskerdoo team up to look at Black sand’s wounds from the Clay Golem.  They figure out how to better treat them then finally heal them.In the morning Cedious looks over Taskerdoo’s map.  “I think this is dimensional- not as different parts but how we travel within the trap.”  Cedious looks at him like he has two heads.  “See how when we travel in circles the room themes seem to repeat every third time….”  He shows the rogue the map.  “Squares …shouldn’t it be every four….?” Asks CediousTaskerdoo tries to fold the map.  It is awkward.  “See…?”  Cedious looks at him like he just grew a third head.“So we will be entering a forest …again?”“No.  It is a room we have never entered before …I think.”  Cedious shrugs his halfling shoulders and turns to the door.  “Only one way to find out…”Cedious is cautious at first.  He thinks he feels heat from the door.  He opens it and a rush of very hot and vapor filled air blows out quickly.  “Ugh!  It stinks worse than the cogs!”The fumes and heat rush out at you as the door opens.  The acrid smell of molten metal and minerals is strong.  The rising heat stings the eyes as you look out before you.  Metal catwalks and chains form multiple levels and possible dangers.  Below –vats of super heated metal and debris flow beneath the catwalks.  Reddish orange molten liquid pours from the ceiling into smaller vats below.This place is dangerous.DM NOTE This was NOT inspired by Starwars“You have got to be kidding me….”, Cedious lets out then recovers, “No problem.”Logan snorts and grunts at the smell and heat.  Taskerdoo wishes they could back track but knows it can not be done.  Vale casts a spell onto himself to protect himself from the great heat.  History says he falls in.Cedious looks through the fumes.  About ten feet from him is a suspended catwalk.  The chains look solid but the catwalk will undoubtedly swing and move if leapt onto.  Looking twenty feet, he wonders how well the catwalks will hold the wolverines weight and Black sands also.  Especially if jumped onto.  Cedious steps off the small 5x5 platform and falls onto and rolls to a gentle stop below.  “HOT!   OW! OW!”  The catwalk is mere inches above the molten material.  He quickly stands up and waves for the others to follow.  He begins to cough from the terrible toxic fumes of the molten metals and lava.  Taskerdoo castes spider climb onto himself and he carefully walks down the sot-covered walls to a safe section away from Cedious.  Cedious begins to look panicked.  “Did you see that?!?”“What?” calls out Black sands as he eyes and judges the jump required to reach the hanging catwalk.“In the hot stuff-  red, scales and it had small wings…..”Taskerdoo holds down his head.  “A dragon …at least it wasn’t an Iron Golem….  That would be bad.”Cedious is nervous as he looks under his heat.  A loud clack and the sound of shaking chains can be heard as the ½ giant lands onto the side of the suspended catwalk.  “Metal is hot.” He says as he climbs over the rail onto the “safety” of the catwalk.  If he had fallen, he may fall onto the catwalk below but may also fall into the molten pool.  He is certain that would hurt and leave a mark.“There’s two of them!” screams out the halfling rogue as he moves away from the two swirls in the molten material.Then suddenly two red dragon wyrmlings rise out of the molten goo and flutter next to Cedious and Taskerdoo.  A third one tries to grab at Cedious but misses.  “Three!   Get down here Black sands!”</blockquote>
