The party is standing in a 24-man lift that seems to go up and down the mountain - no stairways for them this time around!
There is a set of magical gems stuck into the wall they can press to direct the lift up or down. They are currently on what is termed the basement level. Outside is a fire giant in a huge cavern, booming a great big laugh which lets forth a mighty belch of smoke and flame.
Otherwise, the party can take the lift to one of the other levels.
