Section - The Lava Flow

The lava flow is a seen view with base room Rise. Understand "ridge" as lava flow. It is in Chasm Floor, Chasm Edge, Jumble, Volcano Floor, Steam Vents, Cinder Cone, Volcano Cave, Rise, Center Beach, North Beach, Stumps, Chairlift Base, Rockslide, Hive Room, Saddle, Edge of Ravine, Rim of Volcano, Among the Boulders, Tidepools, South Beach, Lower Beach, Ocean Waters, Atop, Ledge, CLiffside, Lawn, Observatory Exterior. The lava flow is very near Chasm Floor, Chasm Edge, Jumble, Volcano Floor, Steam Vents, Cinder Cone, Volcano Cave, and Rise. [we're on it.] The lava flow is very near Center Beach, North Beach, South Beach. The lava flow is near Stumps, Chairlift Base, Rockslide, Hive Room, Saddle, and Edge of Ravine. The lava flow is far from Rim of Volcano, Among the Boulders, Tidepools, Lower Beach, Ocean Waters, and Atop. The lava flow is very far from Ledge, Cliffside, Lawn, Observatory Exterior.

Check examining the lava flow:

if lava flow is very near location begin; say "The black rock, frozen in mid-tumble, hosts a few tentative green shoots and flowers in its maze of nooks and crannies, but the vegetation has only begun to reclaim it";

otherwise if lava flow is near location; say "The lava flow [if location is Saddle]runs below[otherwise]rises above[end if] you, black chaos tumbling up towards the volcano in one direction and disappearing into the sea at the north end of the lagoon";

otherwise if lava flow is far from location; say "Now black and hardened, this lava flow sliced across the island decades or centuries ago, descending from the ruined cone of the volcano to the ocean near the rise";

otherwise; say "You can clearly see the swath of the lava flow slicing diagonally across the island, from the ruined cone of the volcano to the rise near the ocean";

end if;

say "." instead.

First instead of climbing lava flow:

if location is North Beach or location is Stumps, try going up instead;

if location is Chasm Edge, try going down instead;

if lava flow is very near location, say "The flow here is too steep and sharp to climb." instead;

continue the action.
