Sorry, I was not as clear as I should have been. The thing in the fire is gone. It exploded,causing the village fire. You can try to aid them if you like as Finn is by becoming an over-sized firefighter.
You are able to contained or put out the fire in short order and the Villagers are glad to see you as they know you now have the item of which their god wants returned. The Tanaroans eagerly provide directions
To the shirne entrance upon the lower slops of Nextpeua. The entrance is a large cave, carved with bats and images of fire, which leads to ancient lava tunnels.
The sloping lava tunnel widens into a large round chamber filled with smoke and ash from fissures riddling the rock walls and floor. A fiery glow and thunderous rumbles come from the west, where rents are cut into the wall, opening into the volcano itself. The walls of the cave are riddled with nitches, most of which contain offers of food, trinkets and animals, while others stand empty or hold only ash. Though the haze a massive bat leers from where it has been cut into the wall. Its wings rise over its head with its claws extended to form a small nitch that seems to be empty.
Holy fast forward, Batman! Daurros had prepared a scroll of endure elements for all six of us, in anticipation of an expedition to a volcano. He casts one on each Falcom before we enter the lava tunnels.
Daurros removes the golden idol from his pack, presents it towards the bat statue and steps forward. As he does, he keeps his eyes peeled for any sign of a trap or hidden danger. He places the statue reverently into the niche, and then steps back.
You hear a mass sigh as something drops into the lava pit beyond the room. A mass shape rises from the lava, it running from its back like water. A man/bat thing much larger then the one in the village hovers slightly above the lake of fire. It booms in an inhuman tone
""Zotzilaha thanks you for returning what was his! Know mortal that Zotzilaha rewards those that serve him. You may each choose something of value from his vault as his reward to you. You may ask questions about your prize...but choose quickly I must leave this place ...I grow hungry"
With a rumble the large bat carved into the wall raises, reveling a room. Inside an assortment of treasures lay. A small wooden coffer, an ivory carving of an elephant headed humnoid holding tarnished jade, encrusted septar, A necklace with a single large fang, shining mithrail brestplate, a longsword with a fire motif, a strip of leather rolled around a thin, long fang, six rings, a blue cloak, pair of silver bracers and a crown of coral.
Ardanto eyes the bat/god thing suspiciously, all to aware of stories and tales about accepting favors from powerful being. He waits for every one else to speak while he keeps watch.
The longsword looks like a choice for him unless anyone else wants it.
"The Gold ring renders one unseen,The one of bone befriends animals, the golden ring with the ruby holds minor spells,the mirhtal ring with four garnets delays ones fate,The ring of charred bone brings Retribution and the the ring of obsidian grants one a resistance to fire. The fang is not a prize, I do not know it. Take it if you want, it shall not be counted as a prize as it is not Zotzilaha's '
