As you land with a loud thud you think, "At least the pointy rocks broke my fall." It is VERY hot here, so that personal heater you brought is not much use. You see a nefarious figure a distance ahead. Being that your judgment has been impaired by the fall you venture forward instead of fleeing.
You see a greyish figure standing in front of you. You think this is Lord Thador from the tabloids. He was turned to stone by a powerful wizard long ago who just happened to get sucked down a vortex and landed in the same spot as you. Now you just have to figure out how to get out of here.
You can either go and sit on the throne or jump into the lava pool.
