The Bear Pack

We last left our party in the Drow levels. The Skeletal Lords in this area have it in for Taghor and we have to employ the "Dance of Death" technique in order to survive the encounters. After gathering all the keys and finding a new spell (lightning bolt!) for Thadeus, we proceed though several locked doors into a room full of portals. We take one and end up back by the Oracle of Knowledge. Using an Orb of Power, we activate the Oracle and gain insight into our equipment and loot. Returning to the portal room, we continue on and manage to solve this level's Special Quest! We stumble across some sort of armory and walk away with a new sword, "Slicer", for Gideon. After revisiting the Dwarves and replacing Dohrum with Ileria, another Cleric, we head down to the next level. Driders and Hellhounds greet us with spears and fire. We find another portal and have the correct stone item to activate it! Should we see where the portal takes us? Will we forego the mystery portal and continue to search this Drider infested level?

Our party resumes their search and almost immediately run afoul of a fireball trap. We find another stone item for the portal system, this time it's the stone ring. Melf's Acid Arrow does the impossible and comes in clutch during a skirmish with a Drow patrol. While pilfering the Drow's storage area, we come across our first Displacer Beast! Thankfully, the spicy kitty is no match for our band of brave adventurers. The party accidentally solves this level's special quest and find a few Orbs of Power; which will allow us to use the Oracle of Knowledge in the Dwarven Halls. A leap of faith is required to advance our excursion and pays off after we find a set of banded armor.

Our party starts out in the Kenku's nest. We gain an adamantine dart but just as quickly lose it while exploring the Kenku's silverware rack. After witnessing the awe inspiring power of Tawny's cure light wounds spell, our band of intrepid adventurers manage to solve a tricky pit puzzle and solve level six's special quest, the nest! We are awarded the chieftain's halberd for our efforts. Immediately after descending to level 6, we are ambushed by a Drow patrol! Will they drag us off to be unwilling guests of one of the great Houses? Will we be able to escape their clutches and continue on our quest?

Having agreed to help the Dwarves save their king and find their prince, we resume our journey. A corridor full of pit traps gets the better of us and, after surviving a fall to the fifth level, we encounter our first Kenku. We make our way back up to level four and stumble upon a unique portal puzzle which leads us back down to level five. We begin this level's special quest but not before running into a dark-robed figure; who seems to know a little too much about who we are and why we are down there.

Our heroes have solved the devious gem puzzle and are ready to explore the next level. As we venture deeper into this labyrinth, we are joined by Taghor, a Dwarf Fighter who was separated from his clan. We fight off giant spiders and find a few helpful items as we seek the staircase down to the next level. Several of our group are poisoned along the way. We finally make our way down to level four and find a clan of Dwarves residing there. After agreeing to help them in their hour of need, Dohrum, one of their warriors, joins our party.

Our journey continues into the second level of the Waterdeep sewers! We fight our way through more skeletons and zombies as we track down the evil beneath the city! Our thief, Linda, finds a bow and Thadeus, the party's mage, gains another enchanted dagger on our way to level three. How deep do these sewers run? Why are there Flinds and Kuo-Toa this far beneath the surface? Is that room really labeled "Museum"? Let's hope we can find our way down to level 4!

Welcome to Eye of the Beholder! This game was developed by Westwood Studios and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. Based on the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (or second edition) ruleset, this was a dungeon crawler role playing game. In this episode, we gather our party and set out to discover what evil lurks in the sewers beneath the city of Waterdeep. We will run into kobolds, giant leeches, skeletons and zombies as we explore the labyrinthian sewer system. Will we find & vanquish the mysterious evil beneath the city? Come along and let's find out!

We are finally ready to head to Death Mountain and face Ganon! This dungeon is full of wizzrobes, darknuts, lanmola, keese and more. As we journey towards our final battle, we will find the red ring and silver arrow. It's time to defeat the Prince of Darkness, Ganon, and rescue Princess Zelda!

Hidden beneath a bush in the eastern regions of Hyrule, resides the eighth dungeon, The Lion. As we fight our way through manhandla, various darknuts, keese and other monsters, we will find the magical book and magical key. A rematch with the Gleeok is all that stands between us and the eighth shard of the Tri-Force!

In the western region, at the bottom of a lake, you will find the entrance to the seventh dungeon. On our journey west, we will stop and grab some bait. Inside this new dungeon, we will battle our way through moldorms, keese, goriyas, stalfos, dodongos and more! One final bout with the might Aquamentus and the seventh shard of the Tri-Force is ours!

Time to head west to the sixth dungeon, The Dragon! This dungeon is full of keese, zols, like-likes and wizzrobes! The only new item in this area is the magical wand, a powerful weapon. Guarding the sixth shard of the Tri-Force, is the nigh invulnerable Gohma!

It's time to head to the fifth dungeon! Once there, we will encounter pol's voice, a vicious beast with rabbit ears. Gibdo, dodongos, zol and darknuts of various colors roam this dungeon. The terrifying Digdogger guards the fifth shard of the Tri-force. We've heard rumor that it doesn't care for certain sounds...

Before we head off in search of the next dungeon, there are a few items we need to pick up. On this quick errand run, we will find another heart container, the power bracelet and, after dodging a few Ghini, the magical sword. Now that we have found those items, we can head off in search of the fifth dungeon!

Up next is the fourth dungeon, The Snake! Before we get there, we will take a slight detour to pick up an additional heart container. This dungeon has plenty of keese, vire and like-likes standing between us and this dungeon's boss, the two headed Gleeok! Once we defeat the dread dragon, we are able to collect the fourth shard of the Tri-Force.

Time to head off in search of the third dungeon! Thankfully, this one isn't super far from the starting point. Once we reach the Manji, we will have to fight our way through zols, darknuts, keese and more! Along the way we find the raft, which will come in handy soon. Guarding the third Triforce shard is the fiery Manhandla!

On to the second dungeon! Along the way we will encounter moblins, octoroks, tektites and more. Items of note inside this dungeon include the magical boomerang and a new heart container. All that stands between us and the second Triforce shard, is the nigh indestructible Dodongo!

It's time to take on our first dungeon! Along the way we'll find the bow and boomerang. After fighting our way through plenty of keese, stalfos and gels (oh my!), we have to defeat the mighty Aquamentus to claim the first shard of the Triforce!

Introduction to the Legend of Zelda. This game was first released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in February 1987. It has become one of the more popular franchises in Nintendo's stable.

Before we head out to find the Triforce shards, let's take a minute and gather up some items that will make this journey a little easier. We will collect the white sword, some bombs, heart containers, the blue candle and more!
