As you make your way into the first of the many rooms the stairwell of
fire leads you to, you notice a large bonfire burning in the center of the
room.  The flames are magical in nature and can not be put out by any means.
The smoke from the fire creeps into the corners and down the stairway into
the lower levels, making it hard to breathe.  Several fire elementals leap
from the center of the bonfire and stare at you, wondering who has invaded
their territory.  

A large fire elemental burns brightly, spitting forth fireballs now and then.
