   "Sophie! Join my entourage. Joking. You have a spear. That means we're in your entourage now. It's good practice. You'll be bigger than Auberon someday. Well. Not taller bigger. But bigger bigger."
She waved her free hand.
"Boiler room was my first thought. But this corridor is rather long. Do you suppose we'll find a lava pit? Maybe demons power the vampire's lair." |

((The sequence of things got a little weird there, but I'll sort it out thus:
Kristi, all that stuff about Trevor walking alone behind Ru and Babette, revise to walking alone behind Ru, Babette, and Sophie. At some point Sophie randomly looked back, and noticing Trevor was there, decided to keep an eye on him as well. They proceed with Ru, Babette, and then Sophie out in front, Trevor a little ways back.))
By now, they were a few hundred feet down this hall and continuing. The fresh vampires had come to be able to tell the difference between regular spectrum light and infrared radiation from heat, and all that was illuminating their way now was heat. If they were still human, this trip would be impossibly dark. Another hundred feet, another, another, another. They could feel the heat now, a warmth all around them that didn't quite penetrate their cores and almost chafed the skin - like a high-powered space heater. They still couldn't see the end of the tunnel.

 "Yeah. Fuck that guy." The thought of Greyburn and the others made her feel sick. What a bastard. "We've got to find Brent and get out of here before we try being bigger than anyone right now. But maybe you're right."  "Let's walk a little faster. Whatever's down there, we might as well see it, lava pit or not." She now walked alongside Ru and Babette, still keeping track of Trevor but increasing her pace. |

 Ru- "There is a lot of heat coming off this thing. I wonder if it is the boiler room." Ru wondered if it was really bright to go farther but that was what they were going to do. He trudged onwards. |

The guys kept on, another hundred feet, another, another, another, no way they were even under the same building anymore, and who knows how deep underground they were? The heat filled the air and warmed their bodies to human levels and beyond, and still no regular light in sight. The blood on their bodies went from goo to crust, their eyes dried, their movements chafed.
They could see an end. It blazed with heat, but had no features they could see in the haze - just looked like a wall of unlit fire. Looking at each other, they could see their bodies in a wavering pseudo-orange haze, waves of hot air licking over the surfaces of their bodies and painting form impressionistically.
It might be possible to touch the wall, and feel for a latch or something obscured from sight by the heatwaves.

Ru- Ru feels around in the blinding light and looks for a latch. What was this place? Some kind of incinerator? What would its function be and if it was abandoned, why was it lit? "...I don't...understand." |

It was a hot as a frying pan - he couldn't touch it for more than a moment without burning.

Ru is a wimp and retreats from this experience. It wasn't worth getting burned.
"Nothing in here. Let's go back."

As the last syllable escaped Ru's lips, he slipped into the floor at an alarming speed! People lunged for him but it was too late! There was some kind of chute there, slipping away into darkness below, and then the bottom was obscured by surging machinery.
He was gone!

   Ru- "AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" He quickly disappeared from view. Hopefully this wasn't indeed an incinerator. |

  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Babette screamed more loudly than her poor friend. After failing to save him, she scrambled to the trap's edge. Is there any way to follow him?"Ru, can you hear me?" |

Those machines will grind you up! No way. They don't smell meat spattered though, so maybe Ru fell past them somehow?
