===Episode Synopsis===
The party spawns into the dungeon into a room with four bookcases and two wooden doors leading east and west. Diogenes asks if any in the party are an honest man, and casts Light on himself. Diogenes asks Marcus for a lantern. Marcus gives him a crowbar, which Diogenes drops on the ground with a clang. Marcus gives Diogenes a Mind Shapener, which is a set of robes. Diogenes casts Disguise Self on himself, making himself look like a younger man in full plate mail. The party gathers by the door to the west, concentrates on it, and moves through. 
They find a large room with stone pillars, and a stone altar in front of the door. There is an incapacitated human on the altar, a lever in the back of the room, and a Barbed Devil standing in front of the altar with a sacrificial knife. Dolren runs up to the Barbed Devil and smacks it with his Greataxe twice. Will moves forward and uses Divine Smite to smack the Devil and casts Shield of Faith on himself. A Cambion on the right side of the room uses it's sacrificial dagger to stab an incapacitated human, and a Bearded Devil is summoned. Diogenes casts Spirit Guardians and uses a Bardic Inspiration dice to inspire Marcus. Marcus shoots the Barbed Devil with his Lightning Launcher as the Barbed Devil slashes Will, breaking concentration on Shield of Faith. The Bearded Devil rushes over to the fray while the Cambion flys over and tries to Fiendish Charm Will, who resists. Diogenes moves to get everyone in his Spirit Guardians and casts Countercharm to protect against the Cambion. Marcus shoots the Barbed Devil and the Bearded Devil, and the Barbed Devil dies to Spirit Guardians. Marcus smacks the Bearded Devil twice, and it too dies to Spirit Guardians. Will rushes to the Cambion and slashes the Cambion, who breaks away from Will and hits Diogenes twice with its Fire Ray. Diogenes and Marcus damage the Cambion, while Diogenes gives a Bardic Inspiration die to Will. Dolren and Will pursue the Cambion, throwing Javelins as the Cambion throws Fire Rays at the party. Diogenes casts Light on Will, as the party finds another altar and lever on the east side of the room. Will uses Misty Step to close to the Cambion and slash it, while the Cambion stabs him with its spear. The Cambion takes several more hits and then dies to Spirit Guardians. Marcus casts Cure Wounds on Will and Diogenes drinks a Healing Potion. The party pulls the levers at the same time, and a door opens to the north. 
The party finds themselves in a small room with metal doors with runes to the east and west, and a metal door with no runes to the north. The party moves through the west door, and find a Goblin Laboratory with two metal container, nine bookshelves, an altar with an incapacitated human, 3 vats in the back of the room, and several tables with junk. There are 4 Gobin Scientists in the room, and one grabs a sacrificial dagger and stabs the human, summoning a Bearded Devil. Another Goblin throws beakers of liquid at the party, casting Acid Splash to deal small amounts of damage. Diogenes fails a concentration save, and uses a charge of his Mind Sharpener to maintain his concentration, then uses Cure Wounds to heal himself. The Bearded Devil rushes forward as a Goblin Scientist turns on a vat, awakening a Spectator. Marcus kills the Bearded Devil as a Goblin Scientist activates a container, awakening a Flesh Golem. The Spectator breaks free of the vat as Will slashes a Goblin Scientist. A second and third Spectator are awakened as the Flesh Golem busts out of the container. A Goblin Scientist uses a stun baton, casting Shocking Grasp and damaging Will. A Scientist dies to Spirit Guardians as Diogenes uses Countercharm. Marcus shoots a Spectator as it uses a ray to confuse Will. The Flesh Golem slams Dolren as another Scientist dies to Spirit Guardians. Diogenes casts Sleep on a Goblin Scientist, but he resists the effect. He then uses a Bardic Inspiration die on himself. A Spectator uses a Fear Ray on Will, and he is frightened. Another Spectator confuses Diogenes while Will moves up to the Flesh Golem and slashes it twice. The Flesh Golem slams Dolren again as a Scientist throws more acid at Marcus. Marcus kills a Spectator and ducks behind a container. A Spectator frightens Dolren with a Fear Ray as Will kills the Flesh Golem. Diogenes casts Cure Wounds on Will. A Spectator hits Diogenes with a Wounding Ray for a large chunk of damage. The Scientists continue to stun Will and Dolren as Diogenes eats another Wounding Ray and has to use another Mind Sharpener charge. Diogenes moves out of the way, casts Cure Wounds on himself, and uses his last Bardic Inspiration die on himself. Marcus kills a Spectator as a Scientist stuns both Will and Diogenes. Diogenes pulls out a chicken and mocks a Goblin Scientist, killing it, and then kills the last Scientist with Spirit Guardians. Dolren and Marcus hit the Spectator, and it dies. The party heals up with Lay on Hands, a Healing potion, and Cure Wounds, and then move forward and pull a lever they find in the back of the room. They find a few vats with Vine Blights in them, and it looks like they are dissolving and the liquid is being pulled into a pipe which leads out of the room. 
The party moves out of the room and finds the door to the north open. They move through, finding a room with doors to the left and right, a metal door to the north, a recycling chest, and a good treasure chest. Dolren opens the chest, finding a Mantle of Spell Resistance, and Will puts it on. The party dumps all of their trash into the recycling bin. Diogenes casts Light on himself, and the party gathers by the west door and moves through. They find a room with a Guardian. The Guardian greats them, and informs them they must give it magical material to be able to pass. Diogenes offers it the spell energy from his current Spirit Guardians spell, as well as a sacrificial dagger and 2 stun batons from the Goblin Laboratory. The Guardian agrees to this, and allows passage through. The party moves into the next room, and finds a room covered in vines and undergrowth. There are numerous alcoves on either side of the room, and a large crystal tube hanging from the ceiling, which continues around the corner to the other side of the room. The party moves around the coner, finding that the tube leads into the wall, and there are four levers on the floor. The party gathers around the levers, and after several moments pulls them at the same time. A red liquid starts flowing through the tube as the party rushes back to the entrance of the room. Vine Blights start moving out of the alcoves and try to attack the party. Will and Dolren are hit and grappled. Will uses his Channel Divinity to Abdure Enemy, frightening one of the Vine Blights. Marcus kills the Vine Blight grabbing Will and hits a second one near him. Diogenes moves up and casts Spirit Guardians, damaging many Vine Blights, and then moves down the hall trying to stay ahead of the red liquid. Dolren throws a Javelin and kills a Vine Blight. The frightened Vine Blight uses Entangling Plants, grabbing Marcus and holding him in place. Will moves up and kills both the Vine Blights grabbing Dolren, then hits the frightened Blight with a Javelin. Diogenes moves around the corner as more Vine Blights close in and the rest of the party rushes to catch up. Diogenes is grabbed by a Vine Blight, but Misty Steps out of it forward. Dolren breaks the vines around Marcus and carries him forward out of the entangle. The Vine Blights close, and two die to Spirit Guardians. Will kills a Vine Blight and Misty Steps forward to Diogenes. Marcus and Dolren rush up and kill a Vine Blight, while Diogenes puts one to Sleep. The red liquid starts to pour of the tube, creating a Blight Ooze. A Vine Blight constricts Diogenes, but Will kills it and casts Hunter's Mark on the ooze. The Blight Ooze tries to hit Will, missing, while Marcus kills the last Vine Blight. More liquid drips onto the Blight Ooze, making it grow in size. Will hits the Blight Ooze with Searing Smite, and it starts taking fire damage. The Blight Ooze takes slashing damage, and splits. The Oozes miss Will as Marcus hits both with his Lightning Launcer, splitting them again. Dolren hits the Oozes, and causes two more splits. Dolren moves away from the oozes, takes an opportunity attack, and goes down. More liquid spills out, spawning another Ooze. Will hits more oozes and splits them. Numerous Oozes dies to Spirit Guardians, the party keeps splitting more oozes as they pour out of the tube, and eventually all of the oozes die. Marcus casts Cure Wounds on Dolren and brings him back up. After all of the oozes die, a treasure chest and a recycling chest appear out of the muck. Will opens the treasure chest, finds a Flametongue Longsword, and equips it.
The party moves back through the doors of two rooms to the east, and find the metal door leading north open leading to a labyrinth of passages. There is a small set of stairs leading down into a mire of muck, and the smell of it assaults the party. It causes acid damage and potentially poisons those who cannot resist it while being in the room, is worse when standing in the muck, and is difficult terrain. The party starts moving to the left, finding a tube that is pouring sludge out into the room. As they round a corner, Marcus finds a treasure chest that contains a Potion of Heroism. Diogenes fails a concentration save and burns the third charge of his Mind Sharpener. The Spirit Guardians proc against a creature, and the party finds a Black Dragon Wyrmling around the corner. It fails to bite Dolren and Will cuts it down. Diogenes fails a concentration save and uses the last charge of his Mind Sharpener. Two more Wyrmlings close to Will, and he hits one while casting Shield of Faith on himself. Marcus shoots and kills one of the Wyrmlings as Dolren pushes forward. A final Wyrmling moves up to Dolren as Will gets hit with an acid breath weapon from a Wyrmling. Will kills the Wyrmling as Diogenes fails a last concentration save, and Spirit Guardians disappears. Will feeds the Potion of Heroism to Will. Dolren rages and slashes the last Wyrmling, who breaths acid on Dolren and knocks him unconscious. Will moves up and kills the last Wyrmling as Diogenes finds another treasure chest. He also notices a spot where the sludge is flowing under the wall ahead of him. Will uses Lay on Hands to bring Dolren back up. Diogenes finds a Scroll of Burning Hands in the chest. Marcus moves to the flow point and swims under the sledge, finding a passage under the wall leading to the exit. The party moves through the passage and out of the sludge. They find a large double door with a picture of a crazy Goblin Scientist on it. The party moves through the door.
They find a room full of trash, and Dr. Frink L Goblinstein. He threatens them, and runs up to a trash pile while Diogenes casts Invisibility on Will. From the trash pile emerges a Warforged Titan, and tiny Junk Drones animate all about the room. Diogenes and Dolren yell to the Titan and the drones close around them while Will sneaks to the back of the room. Dolren kills a drone, but is smashed by the Titan and goes unconscious. Marcus shoots Dr. Goblinstein in the cockpit and does a considerable amount of damage. Diogenes Viciously Mocks the Dr. and then runs away. The Drones start trying to stab and throw junk at the party. Will starts clearing trash away from a stairwell in the back as Diogenes climbs up onto a trash pile. Dolren stands up miraculously and kills another Drone. The Titan smashes Diogenes twice and he goes unconscious. Drones start stabbing Marcus, and then the Titan smashes him with his hammer and knocks him prone. The axehand comes down next, and Marcus goes unconscious. Will continues to clear trash as Diogenes bleeds out. The Junk Drones stab Marcus repeatedly and he dies. Will clears the last of the trash, revealing a treasure chest. He grabs the chest and casts Misty Step, moving up the staircase. Dolren follows him and readies an attack with his Greataxe. The Warforged Titan moves up and the Dr. jumps out, flinging bottles of acid at Dolren. Dolren takes a hit and goes unconscious. Will rushes up to the Dr. and hits him with his Flametongue, killing him. Will then stabilizes Dolren and opens the chest, finding a Ring of Resistance. Will then picks Dolren up, and carries him up the staircase.
Will makes it a room with two chairs and tables, 4 sconces on the wall emitting light, and 4 staircases. He cannot leave the floor as the runes on the door will not work.
