hell is not a proc nor a verb.
therefore you cannot put any lines of code other then to define a proc, variables or verbs.
area
    hell
        proc
            flood()
                src.Move(locate(/turf/Hell))

i redid my code to fit what you showed me, but now src.Move is an 'undefined proc'

That's because Move() only belongs to movable atoms (mobs, objs)! You'll have to look up Entered() in the reference. (hint: Entered(mob/m))
