Whether or not making the mystery source of this commotion mad is a wise idea, standing about talking is probably less than ideal. Before them, the wave of ice inexorably advances, transforming a gnarled tree into a beautifully frosted ornament even as they watch.

Higher up on the mountain above the source of the fire and ice, they may note a strange rock formation - it appears almost like a flower not yet in bloom, the petals still turned inward to protect the delicate bud. Down below, there is a cracking noise as immediately adjacent to the stream of ice, another hole slowly trembles open and begins to pour out molten lava.

The situation is obviously worsening.
