Your vision blurs, hazy and thick like the morning after a tankard too far. Groggy, you stir. Sitting upright, you place your palms to your sides, only-- SHIT, that's hot--you yelp as the very ground scorches your fingertips. Finally, you open your eyes fully, and before you? An endless swath of flame and fire burning the horizon.

But that can't be right... only moments ago you were in an ancient, torch-lit ruin under Kryptgarden, fighting undead remnants of a bygone age. Your friends were at your side, and the battle was nearly over. You'd won...hadn't you?

So where in all of the seven Hells are you now...
