The Foot of the Volcano

[Diamond Master]

The great volcano in the Lava Molt split wide open and poured out floods of lava when the Abrominae stirred within his prison.
A careful adventurer can still pick his or her way among the ruined shards.

The obsidian bridge leads, after a few turns, right to the base of the volcano. A series of cleared paths through the rubble head up the slope. Glass paths lead into the heart of the ruined volcano. Beneath the glass you can see rivers of lava. Skeletons pole strange enchanted rafts up and down these rivers.

[Esteliza]

I follow a glass path towards the heart of the volcano, observing each of the rafts under the glass.

The bridge comes to a gulf of lava, where the ferrymen row about, hundreds of feet beneath you. The bridge continues on the other side of the gulf, but is interrupted by a series of floating boulders. The diamond egg you seek floats way out above the lava. The rocks floating in midair above the roiling magma create a sort of path toward it. One misstep could be fatal, and you plan your route very carefully to get as close to the diamond as possible, hopping and floating between the stones. However, when you reach it, you realize there is a protective barrier in place around the egg. Leaning in as close as you can, you make out some letters etched onto it:

What do you do?

[Esteliza]

TAP SEVENTEEN TIMES ON THE LARGEST BOULDER UNLESS IT IS RED.

[Esteliza]

I fly around, searching for the largest boulder!

[Diamond Master]

You locate the largest boulder, which is a greyish color, and tap on it several times with beak or claw. The force field goes down, and the egg is yours! You may hatch it whenever you like, and send the pawn within to someone's campaign world!

You can also flap over to the other side of the obsidian bridge now.

[Esteliza]

I glide slowly towards the other side.

[Diamond Master]

Here, you have two obvious choices:

-A path spiraling around the stone floor in random directions
-A skeletal ferryman parked in the lava right next to the shore, seemingly waiting for you.

[Esteliza]

I choose to explore the spiraling path

[Diamond Master]

The spiraling path travels up to the caldera of the volcano, the lip of which has been half smashed down. From there, an obsidian slide leads down toward the Plains, while a series of handholds leads along the volcano wall.
