Theme Music is now mandatory

The air grows more humid the further into the tunnel one moves, heated to the point that the walls themselves seem to melt... giving way to solid steel. Five minutes into it, the passage widens out like a fan, opening immensely into a chamber that seems straight out of a volcanic temple.

The clay-brick architecture exists only on the ground, which feels much more dense when one walks on it. Six immense stone spikes carve out an invitation to those who wish to wander around this chamber, maybe hoping to get burned? The chamber itself stretches back immensely far, appearing to occupy one whole slice of the pyramid. The wall behind the group rises straight up, but the back wall in this chamber, as far as the group can see, slants at a sharp angle to meet the other wall behind them.

Occupying the rest of this chamber appears to be a village-sized conglomerate of melted architecture! Regardless of the origin, this whole place looks like a molten city. There are even small lava pools dotting the ground around the entrance to this place, a connect-the-dots puzzle of melted rock surrounding a dead steel city... this place is truly intimidating, but a fit place to adventure for the hardier explorer.

The first thing Jason notes is many of the structures in the Slag Ruins - the walls, the spires, even the ground - are all mysteriously cracked, as if punched a lot.

As the goes back to the arena, he notices that there is no Makuhita at the top of the tall building, near the gong. In fact, there are no Makuhita anywhere.

After looking around once more, Jason took in a deep breath, adjusting his armband once more before walking through the arena and around once more, hoping that they all weren't destroyed.

No action to be found here, it seems.

The gong up there looks rather pleasing, though. Why would they leave it up without a leader to ring it for?

He thought for a moment and walked up towards the gong, ringing it.

Jason moves toward the gong... but finds that it's on top of a tall building, the one the Hariyama would come out of to face challengers. The only way to get up to it, it seems, is to move through the building, which is about three stories in height.

Well...time for a little walk. Jason carefully moved to the building with a gong. His eyes went around, looking for any of the Makuhita or even a new Hariyama. But he planned to climb through the building to the gong if he didn't see anything else.

No Makuhita in the windows... obviously, none inside!

Jason heads into the first floor, where he finds twin staircases on both sides of the room, leading up to the next floor. Aside from that, the room is decorated with a bunch of scrolls, small gongs, bells, and other classic dojo adornments.

Jason's eyes looked around and then moved to the stairs, heading up to the second floor.

The empty first floor behind him, Jason moves up to the second floor... this one is completely flat, with no visible exit to the third floor. The room itself contains a large rug, about half the size of the arena below, with a bunch of odd symbols scrawled on it, in what appears to be kanji.

Three Makuhita look at Jason from the far side of the room.

Jason looks to the Makuhita and nods a little bit, making sure that the armband that he was given by the Hariyama was still visible. "Are things going fine here?"
