On your long trek to the volcano you see a large WarDog patrol guarding and transporting a finely crafted chest, the patrol hasn't spotted your group yet, giving you a chance to evade or engage.

Montage test to climb up and into the volcano.
Limits S:3 - F:3

Reaching the edge of the volcano you find a clear path down to the lava's edge, a small peninsula leads into the lake of molten rock.
Approaching the path, at the lava edge a large lava elemental crawls out of the fire. “Curious creatures, what are you doing here? Surely you don't intend to disturb the master of the volcano?”
Maze and Elowy, as you've dealt with Devils and Elementals before you sense there is something off with this one.

• Name? The name is Erudite
• What? A mighty lava elemental or Crux of Fire (Tiny Fire Lizard)
• Master? Magnus the Mighty of course
• Moranon? Oh little Mory, I remember when he was born from this very rock
• Moranon's true name? You'll have to take up such matters with the master

Walking out onto the out cropping lava flows behind you cutting off your return. In front you see rock and lava shift and grow to a large rocky beast. “Very few visit me, fewer still are of the.. pedestrian variety. Must have a reason to make your way here. What do you seek?” - “Moranon's true name? Why do you seek it and why would I give it to you?” - “If you can prove your worth and strength I shall award you the name I gave Moranon at his birth.”

• Master of the Volcano (Force of Earth)
• Fire Elemental (Bruxer)
• Lava Elemental (Trained Cube)

“You have already heard Moranon's true name, is not of spoken speech, it is the hiss of fire and crack of rock that occurred as he came into being.” The Master of the Volcano utters a sequence of sounds that resemble the sounds you've heard in and around the volcano.

Leaving the volcano behind you, armed with Moranon's true name where do you march? toward his gate or search for a respite?
