Our heroes are once again questing, this time into the Devouring Dungeon in search of the Fountain of Experience. Yes, when they find it, they will level up. Typical player motivation. One-eyed Cassandra (Mikaela Cochrane) the Paladin has brought a bard along to raise morale. Torvold (Andrew David Long) finds this mostly distracting, especially since he is trying to disable a trap. Sasha (Julie Orton) finds Cassandra to be exasperating. Azurus (Phil Burke) needs to pee. To make matters worse, rooms shift at regular intervals, thus changing the dungeon layout.
Though the party has been in a dungeon in a previous adventure, this one constitutes the whole of the adventure. Each room has some sort of trap, puzzle, or monster to overcome. Oddly, one room only has a mirror. Odder still, their reflections are not reversed. With a shrug, the party moves on to the next room. Then their reflected selves emerge from the mirror! A mirror of opposition! Very cool and well done. As is inevitable when there are dopplegangers of everyone, the party must split up and then reconnect with the wrong people. Good fun. Once again, Azurus finds himself in an animation storyline, thanks to eating mushrooms while drunk.
Sadly, it would appear that this concludes the adventures of the party. It has been 6 years since this final adventure. Fun while it lasted. The whole series is recommended.
