With the lava floe rising and flowing more quickly, you jump into the stone rafts and exit the area. Although the rafts had been full before (requiring you to leave Fingas behind), with Shapfren's death, they now can accommodate the newcomer gnome, Sark.

You find that the flow of the lava from the raft is essentially a circle taking you back to the huge cavern where you left Fingas.

NOTE: This map below is from the posting before. I did not update it again for locations. However, it is still generally accurate. Fingas is where indicated there and where it indicates two stone rafts, you see only one -- i.e., the one returned from Haklara on his escape just minutes earlier. You also exit the rafts in the 24A area.

The river's edge is rising due to its increased flow from the giant room. You quickly get the rafts up to shore and exit, noticing that you are essentially at the top of this area that then slopes down stairs and then again goes down over an edge. In other words, as the river overflows, lava will cover this entire room and then the hallways you will be using to escape.

You are generally in the 24A area and Fingas is down in the 22A area.

Shae tries to lead the team south to where Fingas is waiting. "I don't think we have much time before we are baptized in lava and buried in it. We should find a way out of here."

She remembers that the first encounter when the first doppleganger creature revealed itself was near the exit, so she will lead the others there unless they have a better idea. Something about her new magical armor makes her feel like leader now that Borimer is gone. While walking, she will ask if they remember what the danger was supposed to be about exiting and why the dopplegangers were stuck. She will also remind them that Haklara is still out there somewhere.

When they get to the drop-down area in 22A, if they're sure they won't be going back, which they probably won't given the lava flow, Kahan casts a spell to, hopefully, buy them some time.

OOC: Casting Stone Shape to make as tall of a wall as I can at the thinnest part of 22A before the drop-off, once everyone else is past it of course.

"Let's get ou of here! And fast!" Tahlar says in obvious concern over getting cooked.

OOC: I assume we head south towards Fingas to keep ahead of the lava.
