Fantasy Campfire Before a Crimson Mountain

A cinematic fantasy scene inside a rocky cave during a blizzard, viewed from slightly above campfire level, with 8 characters seated in a circle around a small fire. Outside the cave mouth, a colossal dark mountain rises in the snowstorm, shaped like a sinister pyramid or volcanic fortress, split with glowing crimson-magenta fissures and crowned by a branching, ember-like red energy bloom at the summit; a ring of lava or fire glows at its base across the frozen landscape. The cave interior is warm, amber, and intimate, lit by the fire and a single ornate oil lamp on the right, contrasting with the cold blue-gray storm outside. The group should feel like a high-fantasy adventuring party resting together: 1 regal bird-like humanoid on the left with white feathers, a hooked beak, braided plumage, and layered tribal jewelry; 1 red-haired woman in the left foreground with long braided hair and ornate fantasy garments; 1 young elf-like traveler in blue sitting left of center; 1 small blond elf-like girl at center with pointed ears and clasped hands; 1 elderly king-like man on the right with long white hair, full beard, crown, and dark green robe with gold ornamentation; 1 elegant blond noblewoman beside him in embroidered formal dress; 1 white-haired figure in the foreground right seen mostly from behind in feathered or fur-trimmed clothing; and 1 blue-skinned aquatic-looking woman on the far right with a fin-like headdress, elaborate jewelry, and a cup in hand. Include cups, bowls, plates, bedrolls, sacks, and travel gear scattered around the cave edges. The composition should frame the terrifying glowing mountain through the cave opening behind the party, emphasizing the contrast between sheltered companionship and looming apocalyptic danger. Ultra-detailed textures, realistic fabric and skin, dramatic volumetric firelight, snow streaks driven by wind, moody dark fantasy color grading, painterly realism, epic film still atmosphere, high contrast, rich shadows, masterpiece quality.
