Edge of the Volcano

Suddenly, you're standing on the Western rim of an active caldera. Hot lava bubbles and churns about seventy hooves below you to the East in an enormous crater formed from previous eruptions.

"Okay. So... the Professor said I'd need to think outside the box," you say out loud. "Still, I think I'll avoid the lava for now."

You really don't like lava, to be perfectly honest. It's mainly the heat, but there's the horrible burning death thing, too.

Your internal compass tells you that you're still facing South. Behind you is a glowing orange portal that prevents you from walking along that side of the rim. The rim continues South, and the non-lava side of the mountain is to your West. It looks too steep to climb down right here, however.

Walk South along the rim.

Why not jump into the lava and go for a swim?
