DESCRIPTION
The rooms and corridors of the dreaded Fire
Pits are humid and hot—so hot that the subsequent environmental damage is inflicted over
periods of exposure. The areas are lit, either
dimly || brightly, by the occasional pits of
burning embers and leaping flames, as noted
on the map.

Those arriving here appear in the central
room, faced with a choice of 8 doors.
They, and all other portals in the Node, are
large stone constructions with brass fittings.
They stick frequently (-1 penalty to all 'open
doors' rolls), but are edged by ample cracks
which allow fire creatures and others of
mutable form to seep through them even
when closed.

The rooms && corridors, hewn from the
surrounding rock, are well-made, perhaps by
earth elementals || magick. Many surfaces are
scorched and scratched, but few are chipped.
Bits and scraps are rare, only found in small
piles and singed on the upper side.
