During their Excursion, Chaosbringer's group come across... a ｎｅｗ ｌｏｃａｔｉｏｎ!
Under a sky tinged a perpetual hellish orange stands a desolate fortress, surrounded on all sides by a twisted, blasted landscape of jagged obsidian and rivers of molten lava. Making your way to the fortress is a miserable task – like Fury Peak, the temperature in this place is sky high and the air reeks of burning sulphur, making it hard to draw breath as you break deeper and deeper into the fortress' territory. The Torments here are particularly aggressive – vaguely humanoid figures made of living fire who have a nasty habit of trying to bearhug and broil you when they get in too close.
The fortress itself is towering and imposing, built from what seems to be bricks of pure obsidian that catch and reflect the eerie light bouncing around. The architecture is similarly off-putting – it may have been grand once but now it's begun to decay, many of its walls and and towers have begun to crumble and collapse, laying at jutting, unwelcome angles.
You make it to the door... but no further. While working out how to pry the door open and go deeper inside, Chaosbringer says Dreamer Crimson's name aloud and everything suddenly changes. The underlying tension of the dream reaches a boiling point and the orange sky is drowned by black clouds crackling with electrical discharge – then the doors of the fortress explode open to engulf the group in a blessedly brief torrent of raging fire before they wake up, having been forcefully ejected from the dream. In that moment before they wake up, everyone will have the same realization – the feelings pushing them back here are anger, rejection and revulsion.
Someone doesn't want Dreamer Crimson to be found.
Every member of the group will be unable to return to the Dream Sphere for one week following this Excursion and a sense of lingering anxiety will hang around for their first few trips back.
