- Title: Delicious in Dungeon – Griffin Soup/Dumplings 1 & Dumplings 2/Bacon and Eggs
- wiki: link | link
Although it ends the season without any further action toward finding the Mad Mage or rescuing Falin (Lisa Reimold), the final two episodes of the First Season of Delicious in Dungeon provide plenty of stand-out moments. First, we get a proper backstory for Senshi (SungWon Cho) explaining his time in the tunnels and his reaction to the Griffin. Laios (Damien C. Haas) helps put him at ease with the latter with the help of the same monsters who cause the party a different kind of trouble. Senshi’s flashbacks take an incredibly dark turn, with old fears being dragged back into the light. Thankfully, Laios’ gamble pays off and allows his friend to find peace.
On a lighter note, the same Changeling mushrooms which put Senshi’s fears to rest also transform the group, with each member waking up to discover their race has been changed. While in this form, the party must defend themselves against an attack by Gargoyles. By the end of the episode the characters are back in their own bodies, but (literally) living in each other’s shoes gives them some added context to other members of the party. Despite their troubles, the party has hope heading into next season and a plan to not only save Falin but also restore her humanity as they journey even deeper into the dungeon.
