=== Episode Synopsis ===
The party spawns in the dungeon and immediately starts inspecting the rocks that have blocked the door to the south, looking for safety violations. They see a passage has opened in the wall to the right. They look to the bookcases to find a book on Eldritch entities, and find one on the shelf. They also see a book in Dwarvish called Journey to the Center of the Plane, which talks of heroes defeating great opponents. Flunky moves the bookcase to look behind it, finding nothing, and upsetting Owen with additional safety violations. They check the book on Eldritch entities, and find a story about adventurers who go through a dungeon and fight a great beast. Germa casts Aid on the party, and they move through the east wall. Flunky moves forward while Pector uses a Telepathic Connection to allow everyone to talk to each other with their minds. Flunky and Pector move to the north passage as Owen and Germa move to the south passage. They each find a grate blocking their way, with a lever on the ground behind it. Both groups check for safety violations, and find two unlit sconces in the wall. Flunky pulls the north lever and one of the sconses turns on in each passage. Owen pulls the other lever on the south side as Flunky loses the grip on his. The party pulls both levers, lighting both sconses and raising the grates. 
The party moves past the grates in the south passage, and a cave in occurs near the entrance, blocking the passage and separating the two groups. As the party moves forward, two Xorn's move out of the wall and attack. Pector uses Mind Sliver on the Xorn, but fails. Flunky smashes the Xorn with his Warhammer. Germa and Owen start damaging the Xorn in the south passage when it turns and lands multiple attacks, bringing Owen low. Pector uses his Psionic Sorcery ability to cast Dissonant Whispers, causing the Xorn to run away from him. The Xorn brings Owen down, but Germa immediately brings him back up with Healing Word. Pector continues to attack the mind of the Xorn, but is constantly resisted. The southern Xorn brings Owen down again and hampers Germa, while the northern Xorn gets smashed by a Firebolt from Pector. Germa trys to Inflict Wounds on the Xorn, but misses and gets taken down. Flunky takes a large bite from the northern Xorn, and uses Lay on Hands to heal himself. The southern Xorn moves through the rock towards the northern passage as Owen bleeds out. Flunky smashes the northern Xorn and uses Divine Smite, killing it. Germa bleeds out as the Xorn pops out next to Flunky, who uses the rest of his Lay on Hands. Pector finds a treasure chest and opens it, finding a Scroll of Ice Knife. The Xorn slashes Flunky and brings him down. Pector returns to help Flunky and prepares the Ice Knife scroll, flinging it at the Xorn as it jumps out of the wall and bites Pector for massive damage. Pector casts Fireball and kills the Xorn. Pector sits down next to Flunky and starts to play his harmonica. Pector casts Sending and sends out a message to his superior:
"Foreman, three dead. Safety inspection unsuccessful. This place extremely unsafe. Send more men. Beware falling ceiling and unbracketed bookcases."
He gets an unknown response, confirming that his superior is on this plane. Pector feeds a healing potion to Flunky, getting him back up. Flunky drinks the last healing potion. Flunky tries to use a crowbar to remove a sconce from the wall, and injures his back. The colors in the room keep fading out while Pector and Flunky play marbles with some ball bearings. The solid lines of the room start straightening out, and things begin to loose definition as the colors turn to black and white. Pector and Flunky walk together towards the white light that emerges from the back of the room. Flunky says "I always wanted to be a policeman", and both of them pass to the beyond.
