[HOTW] Immaculate Hideout: Joe Schmoe vs. The Volcano [updated]

Hideout of the Week on February 25, 2015
Hideout of the Week S02E07: Joe Schmoe VS. The Volcano /r/pathofexile/ The hideouts story: After having transported to a new land, you find yourself on a snowy mountain ledge inhabited by exiles that have come before you. These exiles have improvised some shelter and found some food, having consigned themselves to a long stay on this cavernous snowy strip. Why have they not moved on from this desolate place? Looking around for a way out, the one path you find leads to a lava flow and an ominous skewer with impaled bodies. Wait.. this isn't a mountain, it's a volcano! Those perforated carcasses must be more trapped exiles that have been offered to the god of the volcano as sacrifice! This isn't looking good.. You can't just stay on the frosty offset so you take your chances, moving as fast as you can, and move down the lava flow trying your best to stay on the cooler spots that are appearing on the hot magma. As you move south you see remnants of what appears to be building materials from a former colony of some sort sticking out of the cooler rocks and gathered mostly at the base of the mountain where the slag is much safer to walk on. Making it safely to the bottom, a perilous endeavor you were bold to have undertaken, you find an overgrown ruin of some sort with all the materials you will need to form your escape, or at least place you can endure. How long can you make it here? Are the exiles on the ledge further up the volcano worse off or better than you? Dare you make your way to offer a sacrifice of your own to the volcano? Good luck exile! You may need it.

An update to my hideout in Standard.
I tried to make the crest of the volcano more active and the lava flow get less active the further it gets from the peak. Added some clutter, changed a few things. Feedback is appreciated. http://youtu.be/Ngx6jIm117M Thanks to <COWBOY> Purely_Amplified for suggestions on improving the top of the volcano. Photo Album:

You enter a strange land, Joe Schmoe, finding yourself on a snowy plateau with some other stranded exiles. How long have they been here? Seems they have barricaded themselves in a relatively safe area and managed to find some food to cook. There appears to be only one path out, why have they not taken it? In your attempt to flee you find out the path leads to a menacing looking lava flow. Who wants to be trapped forever? The lava must be cooling off some, you say to yourself. You take a leap of faith and move quickly across the cooling magma taking a chance there will be something safe to step on soon. Going North you see the top of the volcano and no escape. You decide to hot foot it south in search of an exit. The lava flow is foreboding and as you transverse it you are confronted with the remains of other exiles that have attempted to take your route. This does not dissuade you. As you push forward, you eventually find the end of the lava and a small opening into a now closed off ruin. This is a place you can make home, or at least it contains all the tools you may need to forge your escape. You are not the first, you will not be the last. Good luck exile. You will need it.

" Thank you very much for your endorsement. =D I saw you created a thread asking to please make Joe Schmoe vs. The Volcano HOTW. I very much appreciate your enthusiasm for my labor here. I also feel it needs some work and if it were to be chosen for HOTW, they would certainly see it without the extra advertising. Cheers mate. Hideout of the Week: Joe Schmoe VS. The Volcano
