Turn 42: Game Ended	Explore: Gina nmr; Bramley North then East; Duncan South then East; Dylan nmr; Andy at the Gate: Encounters: Duncan arrives at the gate, and since Dylan & Gina seem to have opted out, Bramley has no opposition to reach the gate either. I Therefore declare the game ended Winner Duncan; 2nd Bramley; 3rd Andy; 4th Dylan; 5th Gina & 6th Ken. (Note that both Duncan & Gina could have reached the Gate by sacrificing one of their characters to the Spectre and then Withdrawing on the other side of that Cave).
Turn 41:	Explore: Gina nmr; Bramley West then Up; Duncan Up then North; Dylan nmr; Andy at the Gate: Encounters: Both active players return to Level 1, but Duncan heads North?
Turn 40:	Explore: Gina nmr; Bramley Up then West; Duncan East then North; Dylan nmr; Andy at the Gate: Encounters: Bramley moves back up to Level 2 - no-one left on Level 3 now.
Turn 39:	Explore: Gina nmr; Bramley East then North; Duncan West then North; Dylan nmr; Andy at the Gate: Encounters: Not sure if Dylan & Gina have dropped out since not heard from them for a while now. Duncan wants to fight anything in the Great Hall but there is no longer anything there.
Turn 38:	Explore: Gina nmr; Bramley South; Duncan Up-blocked; Dylan nmr; Andy at the Gate: Encounters: Still awaiting resolution of Gina's Encounter. Duncan tries to go Up but there is no Up where he is. Bramley offered his next 2 moves but Duncan did 1 therefore only 1 move progressed. Still nothing from Gina or Dylan???
Turn 37:	Explore: Gina nmr; Bramley East-blocked; Duncan North; Dylan nmr; Andy at the Gate: Encounters: Still awaiting resolution of Gina's Encounter. Bramley tries to go East but is blocked by the cave wall. All players are still capable of finishing if played correctly!
Turn 36:	Explore: Gina nmr; Bramley South; Duncan East; Dylan nmr; Andy at the Gate: Encounters: Awaiting resolution of Gina's Encounter Are two lost in the Caves or have they given up?
Turn 35:	Explore: Gina South-Approach; Bramley East; Duncan Up; Dylan nmr; Andy at the Gate: Encounters: None Duncan jumps up a level and balances precariously on the Bridge of Khazadum, but fortunately hangs on. Gina moves South and Approaches the Spectre - she rolls a 2 and even with her Heroic nature the Spectre becomes aggressive and attacks: Since Gina has no magic ability against the Spectre she loses the first fight and a Man is killed outright. She can now only Attack or Withdraw
Turn 34:	Explore: Gina West; Bramley South; Duncan West; Dylan East; Andy at the Gate: Encounters: None Dylan tries to move east but there are no more undiscovered areas so he stays where he is
Turn 33:	Explore: Gina West; Bramley East; Duncan West; Dylan nmr; Andy East: Encounters: None Andy reaches the Gate to finish his exploration and confirm his score of 42. Gina, Bramley & Duncan move nearer to the finish area. It looks like Gina & Dylan may have to fight their way out, but Bramley & Duncan ought to be able to find their way back, unless of course anyone wants a fight????
Turn 32:	Explore: Gina Attack; Bramley North; Duncan nmr; Dylan East; Andy Up: Encounters: None Gina tries to Attack but is nowhere near anything yet so she just stays where she is. Dylan tries to move east but there are no new areas to explore, so he stays where he is. So only Andy & Bramley move nearer their goal.
Turn 31:	Explore: Gina East; Bramley East; Duncan West; Dylan East; Andy East: Gina & Dylan finds the last tunnels Encounters: None All tunnels and caves now gone. So with the end in sight it looks like Gina on level 1 has a fight with a Spectre to return to the Gate; and Dylan on level 2 may have the same problem; Andy looks as if he can get back without a fight (so can Ken?); and the intrepid explorers, Bramley & Duncan, on level 3 also look as if they can get back. Of course they may have to fight amongst themselves in order to have higher points at the end of the game???????
Turn 30:	Explore: Gina East; Bramley Attack; Duncan West; Dylan North; Andy East: Gina finds a roundabout (1 direction each turn) Encounters: Again Bramley continues the fight: Woman-Hero + Dwarf (4+1) vs Ogre (5) die roll 4,2 so Bramley kills the Ogre and picks up all of his treasure, including the Gold & Silver that the Ogre was guarding. Only 2 tunnels left to find!
Turn 29:	Explore: Gina nmr; Bramley Approach; Duncan Attacks (takes Strength Potion); Dylan South; Andy West Dylan enters Shelob's Lair to drop down the trap to the level below. Andy finds the final cave and finds Gold & Silver Encounters: Bramley approaches the Ogre who turns out to be hostile (Die roll 1 +1): The fight starts Woman-Hero (with & Dwarf (4+1) vs Ogre(5) (no surprise) die roll 1,2 results in 6-7 so the Dwarf is slain: all treasure is dropped in the fight: Bramley must now decide whether to fight or retreat? Duncan immediately attacks: Ghouls(2) are fought first with each member of the party: Man(3+2) vs 2 roll 4,3 dispelling Ghoul1; Woman(2) vs 2 roll 1,1 standoff dispelling Ghoul2; Dwarf(1) vs 2 roll 5,5 killing the Dwarf; Wizard(7) vs 2 roll 4,2 dispelling Ghoul4; Troll(4) vs 2 roll 2,4 standoff dispelling Ghoul5: the fight turn continues with the Man joining in Man & Wizard (3+2+2+5) vs Man(3) overwhelming the Man and picking up the Gold. The Ghouls only return when the cave is re-entered. Only 3 tunnels left to find - could be a race to return to the Gate now? But can everyone get back?
Turn 28:	Explore: Gina nmr; Bramley West; Duncan East; Dylan East; Andy Approach Bramley discovers a new cave on level 3 with an Ogre guarding Gold and Silver, should he attack, approach or withdraw? Duncan also discovers a new cave on level 3 with a Man guarding Gold but protected by Ghouls, should he attack, approach or withdraw?

Unfortunately for Andy the Giant turns out to be very unfriendly (roll 1+1) & turns to attack him. He can Withdraw rapidly or fight to the death? 9 Caves & 12 Tunnels left to find
