	Back into the film, Sae points out this temple that suddenly appeared recently is actually older than her own god. [[Aranwe]] sends his hawk [[Ronin]] to survey the massive, impenetrable structure, but the hawk quickly runs into an invisible barrier so strong it immediately blunts his talons. [[Indomitus]] suggests they try the door, to which Ainok steps back ten feet even as he’s agreeing. Ainok claims he’d already been at the door and “nothing happened” other than the door showing him what he needed to open it, but refuses to get any closer despite Indomitus’ attempt to intimidate him.

	Aranwe sends Ronin to scout the area, and the hawk returns with news of a cave hidden by magma—“possible, but a tight squeeze.” Also, ducks. Ducks from the [[Plane]] of Fire that can swim in magma. Who knew? A large plume of ash erupts, and a pair of eyes lurks within as it watches the party approach.

	Coming back to the group, they find the cave behind the magma waterfall Ronin discovered. Aranwe shares with the others that the pair of eyes was likely the oread watching them. While the others slip through, Indomitus decides to pull a metal umbrella from the bag of holding to “protect” himself. The magma only slightly sets him on fire as he follows the others into the cave.		Coming back to the group, they find the cave behind the magma waterfall [[Aranwe#Ronin\|Ronin]] discovered.

	The group traverses through the maze of tunnels. Sae asks Rian for guidance, and they’re led to a small chamber with one of the fire ducks Ronin had seen. Puud Een decides to hold a staring contest with it, but it lets her win, holding itself to standard above such things. Aranwe asks it to lead them to the center of the volcano, but it demands bread in exchange. He offers it his rations, which it devours in a blast of flames before agreeing to guide them.

	Back in the library, Celeste is eating popcorn from the “magic bucket” as she watches the film. When the temple comes into view, she suddenly stops eating. Even with a flat screen and several thousands of years between her and the scene she’s witnessing, she feels the power and importance of the temple before her.

	Puud Een begins searching the bag of holding for something that burns for a very long time. Indomitus decides to try stalling for time, but the oread grows weary of speaking and another column of lava shoots upward. He asks the centaur if he believes the group’s quest is correct, to which Indomitus says it is. The oread tells him to prove it—but before he can explain how, Indomitus takes it as an invitation for battle and attacks him, followed closely by Citizen Merhermbler. A column of lava explodes outward, burning the party as the oread acknowledges they’ve chosen violence and responds in kind. Indomitus tries to knock the heart out of the pillar, but his shield is covered in liquid magma. The oread tries to tell him to prove his commitment without weapons, but the [[fighter]] hurls his weapon into the creature mid-sentence, stating the group will “take him out” to accomplish their mission. The oread counters he’s not the one they have to prove themselves to.		Puud Een begins searching the bag of holding for something that burns for a very long time.

	The camera returns to the adventurers, who pick up some rations for their journey before deciding where to travel first. They pool their knowledge of volcanoes, ultimately determining to pursue the “heart” of a nearby volcano—which may involve a mountain protector known as an oread. Arriving on the surface, they stop by the temple first to see what they’re up against.

	Citizen Doctor begins praying to her deity, dedicating herself to defending her party members (or “pre-believers” as she calls them) and embarking on a personal quest. Her skin hardens, giving her better endurance, but realizes she can no longer lie in exchange.

Her skin hardens, giving her better endurance, but realizes she can no longer lie in exchange.


	Sae examines the architecture and comes to the conclusion the temple is taller than most surface structures, and the existence of the domes crowning it seems strange to her. Puud Een attempts to utilize the site as a place of power to draw out the “unfiltered magic, frenzied and free” that’s one of the required ingredients, but quickly discovers a paradox: the magic she’s seeking would likely be found inside the temple, but if she was already inside the temple she wouldn’t need said magic to get past the door. However, she comes to realize that current beliefs dictate every living creature has a spark of magic that’s released upon death; perhaps a place where death is found in abundance would provide the unfiltered magic being sought. She immediately suggests a mass sacrifice at the site of the temple, which is rebuffed by most of the others. Ainok makes the surprisingly sound suggestion of using a graveyard instead. Indomitus offers his magic weapon, but Puud Een admits she’d likely have to disenchant it. Indomitus isn’t happy with that idea, but also says he doesn’t want to kill anyone, because he’s “done enough killing in his day” and would rather avoid it where he can.

	Puud Een identifies herself as a divination wizard and warns of the portents she has seen. The oread dismisses her claims, saying the mountain will survive as always. Sae points out the events after the destruction would suggest otherwise—that oblivion will overtake everything, and literally nothing is going to survive. The oread counters if the heart of the volcano isn’t properly cared for, it could spell oblivion for the mountain regardless.

	The battle continues, the oread continuing to defend his territory and trying to break through to Indomitus. Caught in the heat of battle, the fighter and paladin still relentlessly attack their opponent as Puud Een continues frantically searching the bag of holding. Indomitus uses the magic in his weapon to try making the oread trust them, but gets the impression the oread already had some element of trust in the group before the fighting began—it just needed one thing.

	Indomitus and Citizen Merhermbler are eventually victorious, and the oread explodes, melting into a black, viscous puddle. Puud Een manages to pull a rune-inscribed branch from the bag and sets it in front of the pillar, but nothing happens. She drops the branch into the pillar directly and sets the wood ablaze, but there’s still no response. Indomitus thrusts his weapon through the pillar and sets it on fire as well, but again, nothing. Puud Een then conjures an unseen servant and has it charge the pillar, to which it is also set on fire and promptly pops out of existence. Aranwe takes a moment to observe the area around him before rejoining the party, and comes to the realization the mountain and heart witnessed the party attack the oread.

	Puud Een finally places her hand into the pillar, retrieving the bright obsidian heart of the volcano, her arm surprisingly not nearly as burned as it would normally be in such circumstances. The group tries to regain their composure, to varying success, and they leave the mountain as they begin to argue.
