Object
Temple of Death Lava Chasm (Collapsing Escape Bridge)
A bubbling lava-filled chasm spanning the altar and the temple exit, serving as the final physical obstacle before the protagonists can escape. Unlike the sacrificial mechanism, this is a passive hazard with no mechanical function, requiring navigation (e.g., via a collapsing bridge).
