[INTRODUCTION]

When play begins: say "You blink open your eyes to find yourself in an unfamiliar environment, lit up by flowing lava. You're in a cave with stalactites and stalagmites and lava dripping from the ceiling. It's very hot and you can't see a way out except for a hole in the ceiling that you don't know if you can fit through. Bits of gemstones are scattered around the floor and steam fills the cave. If you don't find a way out soon, you could be stuck here forever.
