As you pass into this remarkably warm room deep within the mountain, you notice that the sand under your feet and between your toes are hot... and throughout the entire room, you can hear a thrumming sound. It washes over you soothingly...
   Your reverie is broken by a barefooted maiden clearing her throat from her perch on one of the large rocks lining the pit. "Hello, there. This one's name is Briana; I be the caretaker for the Pit. I'm sorry, but we're keeping this place-- as well as the corral-field outside-- reserved until further notice. The Lady would like to expand this area, since it's a mite too small for the likes of any dragon... Please come visit us some other time."
