The end!
I have decided to end the Dungeon Delver Patreon tier for the foreseeable future. Huge gratitude to my top-tier patrons, some of whom have been with me at that tier since I started this Patreon 5-6 years ago! Thank you for joining me on this little interactive storytelling experiment, I've enjoyed watching you trek through this dungeon month-to-month together for the past 2 years.

What would have happened had we got it right?
I've enjoyed reading this fun and horrifying dungeon run! That was an appropriate, though surprising ending. I'm curious about the eyeball. What was the secret/solution?
Oh. So there were 4 statues in the room, and four bowls of differently colored eyeballs. The pillar in the center had sockets for the eyeballs. They needed to find items that were missing from the statues to figure out which color went with which statue (ie, red shield for the Orc). Then from there, they had to put a number of eyes into the pillar equal to the number of eyes on the statue. So the Orc had an eye patch, so 1 red eye. The mage would have been 2 green eyes, and the Elf 4 blue eyes (2 eyes for him, 2 for his falcon) and the goblin was 10 brown eyes (2 for the goblin, 8 for the spider he was holding). They were on track for it, but at some point someone saw something in the art they thought was the cloak for the mage, and decided it was blue, but nobody actually had their characters check for confirmation. So they put the wrong number of eyes into the pillar, triggering the trap.
It’s been a blast. Can we see the dungeon map?
I don't really have an easily shareable dungeon map. I have some notes, and most of the dungeon was built in 3D, in different sections, so it's not even all coherently linear. I just made the rooms as I needed them, based on the direction you chose.
It was fun while it lasted, but Tim had his reasons for ending it unfortunately. Happy to be one of the crew...
Wow, didn't see that coming. Well done, and I commend you for hinting such a bleak ending. I cannot always stomach it, but it's a nice "break" from all the good endings xD ....I cannot believe I said that :D
I for one really liked the ending - it gave the story the right amount of dread :) ..just sad that I never got to join it :) ...really, 2 years already? ...damn. I really enjoyed the entire run and the nature of it and I do understand that it is time consuming ...but I do hope you return with a fresh idea .. I know I am willing to participate. I would actually love a bit of the old god tier patronage where you get your likeness into a comic twisted by your mind :) ....but maybe just do one-shots so more people have a chance of getting immortalised? Having my question answered by Chef Brian is still a highlight in my life and getting into your comic world in any way would be awesome beyond imagination.
Bleh, Cliffhanger ending. Given that it's likely to be 4 different people next time, was that really necessary?
It's not really a cliffhanger though. XD I gave you more than enough information to imagine the outcome for these characters.
