Dinner and a Show
It is a quiet night in the city, something rare these days.
With no monsters to fight, townsfolk to save, or quests to
venture out on, you decide to pass the time with something
fun and lighthearted. You cannot remember who suggested The
Dueling Knight, but once they did, everyone was onboard.
Arden’s premiere establishment for food, drinks, and
entertainment has long been a staple in Valhenge. Built
almost a century ago, and renovated many times since, it sits
in the center of the city in the merchant district. What
might otherwise be a large, yet unassuming building stands
out among its neighbors due to the giant knight statue that
adorns the front steps and the numerous banners and
magical lights that run from eave to eave.
Every night, adventurers, families, and travelers from all
over line up for a table or to experience the thrills of the
“Fun”geon, the magical obstacle course built beneath the
establishment. Unique in its construction, the “Fun”geon is
designed to appear deadly while actually being completely
harmless. Anyone who falls victim to one of its many traps or
puzzles is rescued at the last moment from instant death
and teleported safely back to the entrance. One of the main
attractions for the diners are the giant magical view
screens that showcase the progress of whoever is currently
running the course. In between runs, live stage shows are
performed to keep the crowds energetic and lively.
It is a busy night for the restaurant, and you wait
almost an hour in line, finally, you find yourself stepping
through the front door and into the magically cooled lobby.
To your right, the greeter is handing out menus and guiding
people to the hostess for seating. On your left, a second
greeter is explaining the basics of the “Fun”geon and guiding
people to the correct line to experience it.
The party has entered the lobby of The Dueling Knight.
There is currently a line for the “Fun”geon, so they can queue
up and then enjoy a meal or a drink while they wait. If they
approach the greeter on their right, she asks if they would
like a table and then hands them menus. She asks if they
will be attempting the “Fun”geon. If they say yes, she will
direct them to her coworker on the opposite side of the room.
The greeter handling the “Fun”geon is just finishing up
with a group when the party walks over. She is happy to
explain the rules of the “Fun”geon and how it works:
x The “Fun”geon is a magical obstacle course full of
hazards, traps, and combat encounters.
x Anyone injured to the point of death is
automatically teleported out of the “Fun”geon and
healed to full hit points. Any additional negative
conditions gained inside the “Fun”geon are removed.
x No spells above 5th level will work within the
“Fun”geon. Additionally, any spell that allows a
person to bypass an entire room is prohibited and
will be automatically countered if cast.
x No magical items can be used inside the “Fun”geon.
The establishment will provide mundane versions of
whatever weapons, armor, and items the group
requires. These are to be returned once the
“fun”geon run is over.
x Anyone participating in the “Fun”geon gives The
Dueling Knight exclusive rights to use their image,
likeness, and experience within the “fun”geon and
on the property in all marketing campaigns from
now until eternity.
 If the party agrees to the terms (by signing the
waiver forms), they are put into the queue. Currently,
there are a few groups ahead of them so they are
instructed to follow the carpet around the corner to
the right and see the hostess who will seat them. The
hostess can be found by going to the end of the corridor
and turning right twice.
If the party tries to enter the line for the
“Fun”geon, let them. Give them a few minutes of idle
banter and waiting before an employee recommends that
they grab a bite or a drink while they wait and that
their place in line is saved while they do.
When the party eventually reaches the hostess’
podium, she greets them cheerfully. They are seated in
the center of the room at a table to themselves. They
are handed menus (if they do not already have them)
and brought goblets of ice-cold water that magically
refill themselves when low (They only work on the
establishment premises). They are told their waitress
will be right with them.
Give the players the menu handout and give them
some time to look it over.
As you finish perusing the menu, a perky Tiefling
woman approaches your table, quill and parchment in
hand.
“Welcome to DK’s! My name is Moira, and I will be
your server this evening. What can I get you?”
The waitress takes the party’s order and whisks
away to the kitchen. Within a few minutes, the food
arrives at the table. It is all quite delicious, keeping
with the Dueling Knight’s stellar reputation.
Anyone who ordered food gets a bonus to their rolls
in the “Fun”geon depending on how much and what
exactly they ate. Have them jot it down for later.
x Appetizer +1 to any ability check
x Main Course +1 to any saving throw
x Dessert +1 to any roll
x Drinks Advantage on any roll
As the party eats, they see the three groups ahead of
them meet their pseudo-demise in the “Fun”geon. Read the
descriptions of the three scenes below.
As you look up, you see the first group of adventurers
being immolated in flames spewed from the mouths of demonic
stone heads spinning about the middle of the room. One
manages to strike the cyclopean eyeball of one of the
statues extinguishing its flames before being engulfed by
another.
The second group of adventurers then come on screen and
you see them falling through illusionary platforms to their
deaths in spike pits below. One adventurer walks with his eyes
closed across the spikey abyss, seemingly suspended in the air,
before suddenly falling to his death like the others.
Lastly, you see the third group of adventurers sliding
through trap doors in the floor as they try to dodge spikes
shooting out of the walls.
With that, the view screens fade out and the audience
roars with applause. As the clapping dies down, the waitress
returns to settle the check just as the “Fun”geon attendant
arrives to inform the party that it is their turn to run the
“Fun”geon. As the party gathers their things, the attendant
announces to the crowd that the show will resume shortly, to
which they cheer and pound their fists on the tables.
 front of them opens. As it does, a booming voice can be heard.
The Preparation Area Each party member hears the voice in their own native tongue.

As you descend the stairs to the “Fun”geon, you feel as if
the journey takes far longer than it should, as if you are
walking farther than possible given the dimensions of the
restaurant. The attendant kindly explains that the entire
“Fun”geon is built within an extra dimensional space. Luckily,
one large enough to alleviate the old Bag of Holding &
Portable Hole conundrum.
“Ladies, gentleman, and children of all ages! Once again,
a brave group of adventurers has chosen to enter the depths
of the “Fun”geon! Will they escape? Or will they meet their
demise like so many others tonight? Refill those glasses,
order up some dessert, and stay tuned! The adventure begins…
right… NOW!”

Finally, you round a corner and find yourself in a small

room. Weapon and armor racks line one wall and a long
counter sits against the other. Behind it, an Elven man
stands and acknowledges you.

“Brave adventurers! Welcome to the Dueling Knight’s

“Fun”geon Dungeon! Are you ready to brave the traps,
monsters, and horrors within? Will you be one of the few to
leave here a champion? Only time will tell!”

Clearly this is some rehearsed speech, but you find it

amusing, nonetheless. He puts out a small wooden bin for each
of you and instructs you to place your belongings, magical and
otherwise, in them.

“Behind you, you will find any and all items, equipment,
weapons, and/or armor you might need. You are free to take
whatever you want, so long as you understand that all items
must be returned upon completion, or lack thereof, of the
“Fun”geon. Once you are ready, please step into the next
room.”
NOTE: There are many ways to defeat the “Fun”geon’s rooms.
The party has access to anything in the equipment The solutions on the next few pages are the intended ways,
section of The Player’ s Handbook . Give them a copy and however, reward your players for creativity. Give them hints
let them pick out what they need. Have them keep in mind if they seem stuck, and never be afraid to say yes if they
that they will be carrying everything they choose so do not want to try something… weird. If someone “dies” send them to
let them bring a whole armory with them. The Waiting Room.
Once they are ready, have them step into the next room.
When they do, the gate behind them closes and the one in
The Flaming Heads of
Haxior!
As you enter this large circular chamber, you see a large
pillar in the center of the room that rises from floor to
ceiling. Mounted on it at varying heights are four large stone
heads. Each head is of some cyclopean demon with a massive
ruby eye and a blank empty mouth. Suddenly, dust begins to
fall from above as the pillar begins to rotate and the heads
begin to move up and down along it. As they do, fire spews out
of their empty mouths. You manage to dodge the first blasts,
but more are coming.
This first room is a test of Dexterity and precision. Have
the party roll for Initiative. The heads go at 5, 10, 15,
and 20, respectively. On each head’s turn, it targets one
of the party members randomly. They must make a DC
12+LT Dexterity Save. If they fail, they take fire damage
equal to their Hit Die times their LT.
The key to beating this room is in the eyes. Each head has
a large ruby eyeball in the center of its face. The eyes each
have an AC of 14+LT. Striking one with something causes it
to become inactive for 1d4 rounds. If all four heads are
rendered inactive, the pillar stops rotating and the door to
the next room unlocks. Let players get creative with this.
There are multiple tools, weapons, etc. that can be used.
The Shimmering Pits
of Sylaxian!
This next room is long and narrow. The floor seems to
move and shimmer, and occasionally, you can make out what
appear to be spike traps beneath it. You hear the gate behind
you slam shut. With no other way to go, you must proceed
forward.
This room is a test of perception. The ceiling is 15 feet
high and the spike pits are 15 feet below the floor level.
Some of floor tiles are real while others are illusionary. To
make things even more complicated, the real floor tiles move
about the room constantly, their movements hidden under the
shimmering magics. DC 14+LT Wisdom (Perception)
checks can be made to spot the real platforms and discern
their movements. Once this is done, a DC 10+LT Dexterity
(Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) check can be
made to move from platform to platform and reach the other
end of the room. Once someone does, they can guide another
person giving them advantage on all their checks to navigate
the room.
Alternatively, if someone honestly believes that the
illusionary floor is real (by failing a DC 8+LT Wisdom
Save), they can simply walk across it unharmed. Closing one’s
eyes gives disadvantage on the save. Once everyone is across,
the next room opens.
 Once the party members make it across the room, the door to
The Doubly Deadly the next area opens.

Hall of Destuvian!
This room is by far the largest yet. It is long and wide,
however, the path through it is rather narrow. The first 10
feet or so of the room seem safe, however, beyond that, is
what you can only describe as a meat grinder.

The floor is comprised of rotating trap doors that spin

rapidly, threatening to either hurl someone backwards or drop
them into the pits beneath. The walls along this path are
lined with sharp wooden spikes that shoot out at random
intervals.

With no other way to go, you press onward.

This room can be tackled a few different ways. The

hardest is to simply try to power through, clamoring over the
rotating trap doors while trying to dodge the shooting spikes.
Making one’s way across the trap doors requires three
separate DC 14+LT Strength (Athletics) checks to
climb over them as they spin. Failing a check results in having
to start over. If a natural 1 is rolled, the party member is
dragged under and killed.

The walls make ranged attacks with +LT to hit against

anyone trying to cross the room. They make one attack if the
trap doors are not moving or three if they are. On a hit, they
deal piercing damage equal to their Hit Die time their LT.

If the party looks around, have them make a DC 10+LT

Wisdom (Perception) check to notice the hidden button in
the stone floor. It takes about 150 pounds of pressure to push
it and then hold it down. Once depressed, the trapdoors lock
flat and stop spinning for as long as the button is held
down. At the far end of the room is another button that can
be found with another DC 10+LT Wisdom (Perception)
check. When depressed, it causes the spikes to stop shooting.
The Last Chance Exit
As big and deadly as the last room was, this one is its
total opposite: small and very not dangerous. A large
teleportation circle sits nestled off in a corner and a
counter, like the one from the entrance, sits across from it.
An attendant stands behind it with a smile.
“Greetings adventurers! Or should I say heroes? You have
managed to conquer three rooms of the deadly “Fun”geon.
That is quite the feat. I should warn you however… none ever
survive what comes next. Should you wish to avoid the terrible
and inhumane fate that awaits you down the hall, you may
use the teleportation circle over yonder to return to the
restaurant unharmed and with your lives and limbs intact,
though your pride may suffer a bit. The choice is yours.”
The party must choose whether to continue or give up. If
they choose the latter, they are teleported past the Halls
of Horrible Deaths to the teleportation circle beyond it. If
they choose to continue, they may proceed through the next
gate. Either way, they can partake of free refreshments here
that restore their hit points to maximum.
The Halls of Horrible
Deaths!
Stepping through the gate, you find yourselves before
three hallways, each a different color: green, red, and blue.
Beyond the difference in color, they appear identical. Each one
has a rickety wooden bridge leading out over a bottomless
chasm up to the mouth of a large demonic statue
approximately 3 feet wide and black as night.
Each of the three options leads to a grisly death.
x The GREEN hall leads to a near bottomless pit
with a gnashing set of teeth at the bottom that
tear the party member to shreds.
x The BLUE hall leads to a sealed chamber of
water where the party member suffocates while
sharks bite and tear at them.
x The RED hallway leads to a sealed room that’s
engulfed in flames. Immediately upon entering, the
party member is immolated in fire and burns to
cinders.
Upon “dying” the party members are teleported to the
teleportation circle in the next room.

The Waiting Room
If the party chickend out in The Last Chance Exit, read
the following:
In a flash you find yourself out of the “Fun”geon and in
what appears to be a waiting room of some sort. There are
weapons along the walls, comfortable seats to sit in, a
roaring fire, and refreshments. The door to the room is closed.
This must be where teams wait while others complete the
course.
x The Trident goes at initiative 10. It randomly
stabs at a grappled target making a +LT attack
roll against their AC with advantage. On a hit it
deals piercing damage equal to their Hit Die times
their LT+1.
x The Lute goes at initiative 5. It targets all the
party members with a vicious ear-splitting tune.
Everyone must make a DC 16+LT Wisdom save or
take psychic damage equal to their hit die times
their LT.

If the party “died” in the previous room, read the
following:
Right before death claims you, you find yourself
transported in a flash to what appears to be a waiting room
of some sort. There are weapons along the walls, comfortable
seats to sit in, a roaring fire, and refreshments. The door to
the room is closed. This must be where teams wait while
others complete the course.
It takes a DC 14+LT Strength (Athletics) or
Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to escape the chair’s
grapple. Once a party member is free they cannot be
targeted by the weapons’ attacks. They can also assist
another party member in escaping by giving them advantage
on their roll. Once all the party members are free, the
weapons return to their original places and cease their
attack. The door to the next room also opens.

Obviously, the “Fun”geon isn’t quite over and done with.

This room is a ruse. It is meant to trick the party into a
false sense of security. When the party members sit down, the
chairs grapple them and the weapons on the walls come to
life! Have the party roll initiative.

x The Bow goes at initiative 20. It randomly shoots

a grappled target making a +LT attack roll
against their AC.. On a hit it deals piercing
damage equal to their Hit Die times their LT.

x The Sword goes at initiative 15. It randomly

slashes at a grappled target making a +LT
attack roll against their AC with advantage. On
a hit it deals slashing damage equal to their Hit
Die times their LT.
The Final Challenge
Leaving the false room behind, you make your way into a
large square chamber. In the cetner, a large platform holds
a spherical device with eight crystal protrusions. The floor
around the platform has a large hole every 10 feet, eight of
them in all. Each hole is five feet wide and deeper than you
can fathom right now. As the door slams behind you, you hear
a low hum begin to fill the room. The crystals crackle with
energy, and suddenly, lightning bolts shoot out and strike one
of the holes. Moments later, a large armored worm-like
creature pops up, howls in pain, and then vanishes back
beneath the floor.. A few moments later, this occurs again,
this time the lightning striking another random hole. There
must be a pattern. Once the party manages to beat this final puzzle, read
the following:
This room is the actual final room of the “Fun”geon and
it serves as a fun send off. It is essentially a game of With a final strike, you send the worm hurtling back into
Whack-A-Mole.. The party must hit the worm when it pops up the darkness. The hum vanishes, replaced by the sound of

hole again. The last door opens. Finally, the adventure is over.”
The worm has an AC of 14+LT. It can be hit with spells,
melee weapons, or ranged weapons. Draw the eight holes for
the party to see. Each turn, they choose one hole to focus on.
If that’s the hole the worm appears in, they get advantage
on their roll to hit. If it pops up in the hole next to that,
they make a regular attack roll. If it pops up in any other
hole, they can attack, but at disadvantage.

If the party wants to try to discern the pattern of the

strikes, have them make a DC 16+LT Intelligence check.
If they succeed, for the rest of the encounter, before they
choose which hole to focus on, tell them half of the remaining
holes (rounded down) that are not the correct one.

THE GIFT SHOP
As you make your way through the dark passage, you see
what can only be described as golden light around the corner.
As you enter the room ahead, you realize that the treasure
room is just that. Although, in this case, the treasures are
for sale. You’re in the only thing befitting the end of such an
adventure… a gift shop.
To your right, an attendant stands behind a counter.
Behind her, mounds of gold coins (tokens good only at The
Dueling Knight, of course) lay piled in the corners. The shelves
have numerous knick knacks and souvenirs for sale, including
little stuffed DK’s. Ahead of you, there is a throne flanked
by two large Dueling Knights.
“Thank you for participating in The Dueling Knight’s
“Fun”geon Dungeon! We hope you come again!” She returns to
the gift shop and you approach the counter. The attendant
behind it returns your gear to you and collects the items you
borrowed.
“For beating the “Fun”geon, you have each earned a full
three course meal with drinks included! We sure hope you’ll
come back soon. Heroes are always welcome at… The Dueling
Knight’s “Fun”geon Dungeon!”
THE END…?

“Well done!” says the attendant by the throne. .”Wouuld

you like to have your parchment taken to commemorate your
success?” She gestures to the throne.

If the party agrees, read the following:
