Metal Gate of the Hall of Fire

A thick, heavy metal gate sealing the entrance to Sarn's Hall of Fire, its surface darkened by scorched residue that still smolders when touched. The Doctor's hands bear faint orange traces of its energy when he examines it, the metallic smell of overheated iron lingering in the air. Peri fights against the Master nearby, her resistance visibly straining his control over Sarn's unstable source.
