See if there are any interesting ways to die in the volcano room, like by jumping into the lava and whatnot.
We tried jumping, but we can go poke around in there a bit.

At Junction With Warm Walls
The walls are quite warm here. From the north can be heard a steady roar, so loud that the entire cave seems to be trembling. Another passage leads south, and a low crawl goes east.

At Breath-Taking View
You are on the edge of a breath-taking view. Far below you is an active volcano, from which great gouts of molten lava come surging out, cascading back down into the depths. The glowing rock fills the farthest reaches of the cavern with a blood-red glare, giving everything an eerie, macabre appearance. The air is filled with flickering sparks of ash and a heavy smell of brimstone. The walls are hot to the touch, and the thundering of the volcano drowns out all other sounds. Embedded in the jagged roof far overhead are myriad twisted formations composed of pure white alabaster, which scatter the murky light into sinister apparitions upon the walls. To one side is a deep gorge, filled with a bizarre chaos of tortured rock which seems to have been crafted by the devil himself. An immense river of fire crashes out from the depths of the volcano, burns its way through the gorge, and plummets into a bottomless pit far off to your left. To the right, an immense geyser of blistering steam erupts continuously from a barren island in the center of a sulfurous lake, which bubbles ominously. The far right wall is aflame with an incandescence of its own, which lends an additional infernal splendor to the already hellish scene. A dark, forboding passage exits to the south.

We're seeing the full descriptions because we haven't been to the left-hand side of the fork since we restored.

Don't be ridiculous!
The bear roars with delight.
Aww, the bear likes the terrifying hellscape.

You can't go that way.
It looks like we can't get him to commit suicide so easily.

You think the troll's going to try and stop us with a bear backing us up? Let's show him who's boss.
Bear boss.
We'll see if we can find something to give that troll pause.
That is, paws.
Paws smacking him in the head.
Until he is killed.
Killed by a bear.

On NE Side of Chasm
A rickety wooden bridge extends across the chasm, vanishing into the mist.
A sign posted on the bridge reads, "Stop! Pay troll!"
The troll is nowhere to be seen.

The troll steps out from beneath the bridge and blocks your way.

OK. We've got them in the same room. What shall we do to try to get the bear to attack?
