===Episode Synopsis===
The party spawns in the dungeon to see a collapsed section of rocks. They examine it, blaming the previous group for their failings and looking for potential OSHA violations. Tum casts Aid on three party members at level 3. The party moves towards an opening in the wall, and sees two passageways, one each leading north and south. There is a lever at the end of each passage, and a gate blocking the way forward. The party notices several cracks in the ceiling. The party splits up, with Tim heading north, and Tom, Tam, and Tum heading south. The team repeatedly tries to pull the levers, and are not strong enough to do so. Eventually the team is able to pull both levers, which lock in place and open the gates. As Tom steps past the gate, a cave in occurs and splits the two groups. Tim casts Fly, and starts moving through the air down the hallway. Tam starts yelling for Tim when Xorn pop out of the wall and attack each group. Tim flies away from his Xorn as the southern group starts pummeling the Xorn in their hallway. Repeated attacks bring the southern Xorn down as Tim reaches the party, with the northern Xorn hot on his heels. The Xorn takes a bite out of Tim, and then the group surrounds it and brings it down. Tam investigates the cave, and determines that they are very deep underground. They find a treasure chest, and open it to find a Potion of Healing. Tim uses 5 Sorcery points to regain a 3rd level spell and converts a 2nd level spell back into 2 Sorcery Points. The party gathers by the door, touches the three concentric runes on the door, and thinks of moving through. Moments later, they are moved to the other side. 
The party enters a room with 6 Lizardfolk and 2 Shadow Demons. Tim floats above the party and uses Twinned Spell to throw a Chromatic Orb at 2 different Lizardfolk, hitting one. A Mysterious Orb starts moving randomly, throwing bits of magical energy around the room. The Lizardfolk close to the party and attack, chipping away at Tom. A Shadow Demon rakes Tam with its claws as several Lizardfolk go down. Tum hits a Shadow Demon with Guiding Bolt as Tam casts Vampiric Touch, but misses. Tom smashes the Shadow Demon in front of him and smites him with Divine Smite. Tim takes many hits and flies away from the creatures. Tum casts Mass Healing Word and heals the party, ordering Tom to attack the Shadow Demon, who hits it and Divine Smites it to death. The Lizardfolk close on Tim and bring him low as Tom uses Divine Smite on the remaining Shadow Demon. Tim casts Blink while Tam kills a Lizardfolk with Vampiric Touch, regaining a large amount of health. Tim gets hit by a spiked shield and goes down, only to pop up moments later. He uses Twinned Spell to use Shocking Grasp on two of them, and then skirts away and Blinks into the Ethereal Plane. Tum kills the last Shadow Demon with Sacred Flame. The party makes short work of the remaining Lizardfolk, and the Mysterious Orb disappears leaving 2 Potions of Healing in its place. The party gathers around the door as Tim drinks two Healing Potions. Tom uses his Lay on Hands to heal himself for 20 hit points. The party gathers in front of the door and concentrates on going through. Tim blinks into the Ethereal Plane, and finds the door is fully present in that plane. He comes back to the Material Plane, and the party moves through the door. 
The party finds two Mysterious Orbs in this room, along with 4 Direwolves, 4 Lizardfolk, and 2 Lizardfolk Shaman. Tim throws a Fireball to the north, killing 2 Lizardfolk and damaging three other creatures. Tum casts Spiritual Weapon and smashes the northern Shaman. The Shaman to the north casts Heat Metal on Tam while the Shaman to the south casts Heat Metal on Tum. Tam kills the northern Shaman with a Firebolt. The Direwolves bite both Tom and Tam, and knock them prone as the Lizardfolk close in. Tim skirts to the top of the room and uses Twinned Spell to hit a wolf and the last Shaman with Firebolts, breaking the Shaman's concentration on Heat Metal. The southern Shaman casts Heat Metal on Tom, dealing more damage. Tam casts Thunderwave and kills a Direwolf. Tum gets surrounded by enemies and takes a large amount of damage. He kills a Direwolf with Sacred Flame as the southern Shaman once again causes Tom's metal to burn for massive damage. Tam moves to Thunderwave the two Lizardfolk and a Direwolf, hitting Tum in the process. A Direwolf bites Tom and knocks him unconscious. Tum takes multiple hits and goes unconscious as well. Tim kills one of the Direwolves as Tom's metal continues to burn. Tam kills the Shaman with a Firebolt and falls prone. Tam draws the Direwolf over to him and gets bit. Tim stabilizes Tum with a Healer's Kit as Tam shoves the Direwolf by another Mysterious Orb, where it takes damage. The Direwolf bites Tam and brings him low as Tim casts Lightning Lure and hits the Lizardfolk in front of him. The Direwolf and the Lizardfolk go down, as 5 pieces of +1 Ammo and a Recycling Bin fall to the ground. Tam feeds Tom a Healing Potion, and brings him back up. 
Tam convinces the party to put everything they can into the Recycling Bin, along with the Ammo. They close the lid, and the bin shakes around and then starts emitting smoke before falling apart. In the wreckage is all of the party's junk, except for the +1 Ammo, and a Scroll of Magic Weapon. Tom concentrates on the scroll and makes his Warhammer magical. The party gathers together and discusses their plan, and Tom casts Bless. The party then moves through the door. The party finds themselves in a room with 3 Mysterious Orbs, 5 Half-Ogres, and a Bone Naga. The Bone Naga tries to cast Hold Person on Tom and Tum, but fails. Tim casts Fireball on the entire group of monsters, killing two Half-Ogres and damaging the others severely. Tam casts Gust of Wind and aims it at two of the Half-Ogres. It knocks one back and disrupts their javelins. Tum kills one Half-Ogre with Sacred Flame. The Bone Naga casts Sacred Flame at Tam, but misses. Tim casts a Firebolt through the Mysterious Orb and roasts the Bone Naga, while Tum kills another Half-Ogre with Sacred Flame. Tam casts Vampiric Touch and kills a Half-Ogre, and then hunts down the Bone Naga and feasts on it as well. The Mysterious Orbs disappear, and it drops a Frost Brand Scimitar. The party quickly gathers in front of the door and moves through. 
They find a large open space, with trees and a large T-Rex in view. There are volcano's to the north, spewing small balls of fire everywhere. There is a staircase in the back of the area, leading up. The party moves ahead, only to be peppered by arrows from Goblins hiding in the trees. Tam casts Shield to block multiple arrows. The party starts picking Goblins out of trees as the T-Rex spots them and roars loudly. Lava starts pouring out of the volcanos, and several fire bombs rain down and hit trees. Tam casts Tasha's Hideous Laughter on the T-Rex, but the spell fizzles. The T-Rex tries to chomp down on Tam, but he casts Shield and blocks the attack. The party dashes across the field as lava pours down and fire bombs rain down, missing the party. Tum takes an arrow from a goblin, and goes down. The T-Rex rushes over and bites Tom, and whips it's tail around and knocks down Tim. Tam rushes to the door and runs up, hearing the sounds of lava and crunching bones behind him. He moves up the stairs and reaches a point where all the spell effects on him dissipate. He eventually gets to the top of the staircase, finding a room with a door and 8 bookcases. Tam hears a rumbling sound, and lava breaks through the ceiling to fill the room. The lava blocks the door, and Tam goes back down the stairs to ride the T-Rex...
