Blister in the Sun

The main feature of this room is a gigantic magnifying glass hung from the ceiling, which focuses the sun's rays into a superhot dot of light that is centered, probably not coincidentally, on the switch that opens the exit. How are the sun's rays are getting into an underground dungeon? Um... magic.

Soak Up Some Rays

• Without hot resistance:

You enter the room and flip the exit switch. It doesn't seem so bad. Until your hair catches fire, that is. But hey, at least it's a dry heat.

You lose some hit points. (hot damage)

You move deeper into the dungeon.

• With hot resistance:

Thanks to your magical protection from hot, you suffer no ill effects from the heat. Apart from being tickled down to your toes.

You move deeper into the dungeon.
