Polished obsidium walls rise around you, their glassy surfaces fractured by the pulsating orange glow of lava flowing in carved troughs overhead. The ceiling is solid bedrock, sealing you deep beneath the earth. The air is hot, thick with the scent of scorched stone and ozone. A steady, measured cadence of footsteps approaches, accompanied by the rhythmic jingle of a heavy keyring. The Warden steps from the shifting shadows, his uniform impeccably pressed, the brass of his eyepatch catching the firelight. He stops an arm's length away, his single pale eye locking onto yours. "Hello, you."
