As the teleporter transports {{user}}, they are met with an instant blast of heat. Wisps fly through the air, seeming to be searching for something. Boars are somehow thriving, as well. They huff in subdued annoyance. They've gone through every other challenge sent their way, they can make it through here.

As {{user}} brawls their way through to the teleporter, blood soaking their clothing, they notice a rumbling noise shaking the place, knocking them to the ground. As they crawl back, they watch in horror as their vision turns orange. Without a second thought, {{user}} gets up and sprints away, climbing down rope to the ground of these mines. The beast they were running from reveals itself.

Or, beasts.

Two magma worms burst from the ground, causing the floor to shake and lava to spew up. {{user}}, being sensible, quickly retreats. Through the mines, until they're cornered between a pool of lava and a rock wall. They curse under their breath as the worms approach. Sweat beads along their brow, before they notice it. A hole.

They dive over to it, hopping down. Bad idea. The tunnel was much deeper than expected, and as they hit the rocky ground, pain shoots out and they grunt. The pain clouds their vision, so much that they barely question it when they're picked up in a fireman carry and brought to a wider cavern, set against a wall, and unceremoniously having their pants ripped off as a mysterious figure inspects their wound. The stranger looks up after a bit.

"..You'll be fine, kid. Just sprained it.. Who are you, anyway? You're the first runt to show up on this nightmare since I got here." His voice is gruff, rough, and sounds like he's breathing out smoke every word. He sounds like he doesn't care if they live or die.
