=== Episode Synopsis ===
The party spawns in the dungeon in a room with 3 bookcases, two chairs, a cyan colored brazier in the center, and a lever. There is a steel door leading to the north. Lord Vader summons a Pact Weapon (Spear) and hands a flail to the Emperor. HK-47 hands a Repeating Heavy Crossbow to Boba Fett and a Mind Sharpener to the Emperor. The Emperor and Lord Vader start rummaging through the books on the shelves while Boba Fett starts attuning to the Crossbow. HK-47 pulls the lever, opening the door to the north. It reveals a room with two wooden doors to the east and west, a brazier in the center, and another metal door to the north. The Emperor finds a book about space wizards that duel with the Jedi, and Vader finds a book about sand. The Emperor then uses Emboldening Bond to boost himself, Vader, and Boba. 
The party gathers by the west door, and casts several spells on each other. HK-47 casts Expeditious Retreat on himself, Boba Fett casts Longstrider on HK-47, and the Emperor Aid on three party members, Spirit Guardians on himself and Sanctuary on HK-47. The party gathers in front of the door, and moves through. On the other side, they find a room covered with statues of cobras, large braziers in the middle of the room, and several levers scattered throughout. Swarm of Snakes start pouring out of the cobra statues as the party moves forward. HK-47 sprints forward all the way to the first lever as Boba Fett casts Spike Growth in the hallway. Snakes move over to HK and try to bite him, but are blocked by Sanctuary. The Emperor, Lord Vader, and Boba Fett ready attacks to hit any snakes that try to penetrate their defenses. More Snake Swarms continues to pour out of the statues as HK-47 pulls the first lever, closing the mouth of the first group of cobra statues. A group of snakes tries to move through the spike growth, but is ripped apart by the spikes and attacks. HK-47 casts Spider Climb and climbs up the wall, casting Shield as a reaction to block the attacks of the snakes at his feet. Multiple Snake Swarms chase HK-47 around the room as he climbs on the wall to the south towards the next lever. HK-47 is able to pull the second lever while snakes bite at him and miss, and then starts climbing along the ceiling away from the snakes. The snakes dash after him and he is unable to pull the lever. The party ponders what's happening with the droid, and waits behind their defenses. HK-47 moves away from the snakes and back to the party, as the snakes chase after him. HK-47 reaches the party as the snakes round the corner, gets down off the wall, and summons his Force Ballista. The Snakes Swarms take hits as they try to push through the Spike Growth, and then Lord Vader hits them with a Fireball, destroying most of them. The party picks off the rest and Boba Fett drops Spike Growth. 
The party rushes forward as snakes continue to pour out of the last set of statues. HK-47 climbs along the wall and starts blasting snakes with his Force Ballista while the party catches up. After many failed attempts to pull the lever, the party eventually kills all the snake swarms and pulls the remaining levers. The green lever closes the mouths of the last snake statues, and the grey lever opens a door leading back to the starting room. The party moves back to the room with the two wooden doors, finding the steel door to the north open and leading to a new room. There is a brazier in the center of the room as well as a treasure chest. There are two more wooden doors to the east and west, and a large steel double door to the north. HK-47 opens the chest to find a Pearl of Power, and the party gathers to the eastern door. The Emperor casts Emboldening Bond on HK-47, Boba Fett, and Lord Vader. The party moves to the other door, finding darkness and hearing the shriek of a creature. The Emperor casts Light on his shield, revealing a room with four pillars with chains that lead from them to hold back an Umber Hulk. At the base of each pillar is an Ankheg. The Emperor moves forward, dealing damage to two Ankhegs and the Umber Hulk. The Ankhegs move forward and start spraying acid on the party. Boba Fett drops one of the Ankhegs while the Umber Hulk breaks one of its chains. The Emperor moves forward and procs Spirit Guardians on two Ankhegs, but one of them bites the Emperor and pulls him away. An Ankheg spits acid on the Emperor and HK-47, and HK loses concentration on Spider Climb. Boba Fett kills the Ankheg grappling the Emperor while HK-47 damages another. Another Ankheg spits acid on the Emperor and Lord Vader, as the party takes more damage. The Umber Hulk fails to break any chains, as Lord Vader pushes an Ankheg with Eldritch Blast. The Emperor kills an Ankheg with Spirit Guardians as Boba Fett blasts the last one. The Umber Hulk fails again to break any of its chains, and dies to multiple blasts, Spirit Guardians, and Sacred Flame. 
The party moves to the back of the room and pulls a lever, hearing gears grinding in the distance. The party drinks multiple healing potions trying to recover health. Boba Fett cuts a horn off the Umber Hulk as a trophy. The party moves back through the door, finding the double doors open and leading to a room with a larget Angelic Statue. There is a larger brazier and a treasure chest in the room. The statues speaks as they enter, saying "Present an offering, and challenge each of the elements: earth, water, air, and fire". HK-47 and Lord Vader move towards the brazier and starts putting water, rocks, fire, and air into the brazier. This opens up swirling portals representing each of the four elements on the sides of the room. Boba Fett opens the treasure chest and finds 2 Potions of Poison. The party gathers by the earth portal, and steps through. 
The party finds itself in an earthen room with stalagtites and stalagmites all around. In the center of the room stands an Earth Elemental. Boba Fett casts Faerie Fire on the Earth Elemental as HK-47 blasts it with his Force Ballista. The Earth Elemental turns and charges to HK-47 and slams into him. The Emperor moves north, with his Spirit Guardians damaging Piercers hiding on the ceiling along the way. One of the Piercers drops and slams into The Emperor. Lord Vader moves over to the Earth Elemental and slashes into hit while Boba Fett shoots it. HK-47 lands a critical blow and blasts the Elemental, then takes a hit when he steps back away. The Earth Elemental steps towards HK-47, but gets hit by Lord Vader who uses Sentinel to stop his movement. The Emperor hits it with Sacred Flame and then Lord Vader cuts it down. There is a flash, and the party reappears in the statue room. 
Boba Fett puts the Potions of Poison in the recycling chest, and it spits out a Potion of Heroism. HK-47 drinks the remaining two healing potions and the party moves to the fire portal. They move through to find a small room with a grated floor and four stone grates in the corners. The room contains 4 Fire Snakes and a Fire Elemental. Boba Fett hits the Fire Elemental twice for a large amount of damage. HK-47 misses two shots as the Fire Elemental moves down and slams Boba Fett and Lord Vader, setting them on fire. Lord Vader slams the Fire Elemental with multiple hits as the Emperor casts Create Water, raining water on the Fire Elemental and his allies, putting out their flames. Boba Fett shoots the Elemental, killing it, and another flash of light appears. 
The party reappears in the statue room, and HK-47 resummons his Force Ballista. The Emperor casts Water Walk on the whole party, and then uses his Channel Divinity Balm of Peace to heal the party. HK-47 and Boba Fett both cast Cure Wounds on themselves for more healing, and the party moves through the water portal. They are met with a blinding cloud of fog that obscures their vision. They advance forward cautiously until the Water Elemental appears from the south and tries to Whelm The Emperor and HK-47, who dodge out of the way. Lord Vader slashes into the Elemental as the Emperor hits it with Guiding Bolt. Boba Fett shoots the Elemental and pushes it away with Gathering Swarm, then shoots it again and kills it. The Elemental dies, and with a flash of light the party reappears in the statue room. 
Another treasure chest is in the room, and HK-47 opens it finding another Pearl of Power. He gives it to the Emperor, and both of them attune to their pearls to regain a spell slot. The Emperor drinks the Potion of Heroism, and then they move through the air portal. The party appears on a platform floating in the air, with eight pillars on the platform around them. There is an Air Elemental in the center of the platform, and 8 additional towers with Goblins on them surrounding the Platform. The Goblins begin firing as Lord Vader casts Fireball to hit the Air Elemental. The wind starts pushing Boba Fett off the platform, but he flings his Grappling Hook around a pillar and hangs from it off the edge. He tries to Faerie Fire the Air Elemental, but it avoids the spell. The Air Elemental moves to HK-47 and uses Whirlwind to fling him south, while HK-47 turns around and lands two shots on the Elemental. The Emperor hits the Air Elemental with a Guiding Bolt as Goblins keep firing to little effect. Lord Vader hits the Air Elemental with an Eldritch Blast as Boba Fett pulls himself up on the ledge and hits the Air Elemental twice. The Air Elemental flies to Lord Vader, who uses Sentinel to stop it in place. HK-47 hits the Elemental with a Firebolt and kills it, and a flash of light appears with the party moving back to the statue room. There is now a staircase in the room, and the statue speaks "Challengers, congratulations, you are victorious and have been found worthy. Good luck"l. The party opens a treasure chest, finding a Ring of Swimming, and moves down the staircase. They travel down for a while, and then find a new staircase moving up. All of their time based effects go away, and they step into a room with two bookcases and two wooden doors. The party breathes a sigh of relief as the ponder the room......and time fades out.
