A rich almond-colored smog churned at cyclonic speeds at the base of the mountain range, stripping bark clean off the pine trees. Their trunks were pressed nearly flat against the rock face, their tips forced to point upward toward the peak. The only safe way to climb this mountain was through the narrow passageways carved out by the relentless wind—any alternative meant being battered to death while choking on the poisoned air.

Beyond that first stage of chaos lay the second: a multilayered lightning storm, each stratum generating its own electromagnetic field. Negatively charged electrons repulsed one another in a constant, violent exchange. Visually, it resembled a lattice of interwoven lightning, bright enough to blind. Sonically, each thunderclap was powerful enough to rupture eardrums and draw blood. Skin burned. Bones vibrated. Lungs strained to function as the noxious fumes intensified within the storm.

Sensory confusion soon gave way to something even worse—supernatural madness. Upon surviving the storm, one found themselves standing atop the rim of a massive pit, spreading far and wide into a subterranean temple reminiscent of Hephaestus’ ever-shifting labyrinth. But unlike mythic labyrinths, this one was designed as a prison: a place for titans to wander endlessly without rest, hunted by parasitic leeches the size of redwoods.

[b]General[/b]: The labyrinth now appeared dilapidated. Its walls, though still standing, had grown weak; some sections had turned to mush, eventually liquefying into portals of swirling darkness. Passing through one of these portals took a full thirty seconds—partially due to the ancient magic that powered the labyrinth decaying over centuries, which also produced the storm that encircled this hellscape. Each portal could be used only once before collapsing in on itself. When it did, the resulting shockwave added further instability and unleashed a disruption field throughout the entire labyrinth, lasting a full minute.

[b]Weapons[/b]: The magic powering the labyrinth has begun to decay, causing some of the walls to be easily collapsible. But instead of merely falling into a pile of rubble, the structures turn into spatial portals, which in turn accelerate the destruction of the labyrinth as one has to come out somewhere, and that somewhere is often in the form of a spatial detonation of another section of corridor, creating a two way portal.

[b]Bonus Effects[/b]: The collapse of the Labyrinth walls releases excess magical energy that is easily harvestable, but will also attract the leeches to you.
