A Dungeoneer has died. Treguard is about to send the Team on its way, when a squad of cheerleaders (including Mellisandre, Gretel, Elita and Velda) cartwheel in and begin to chant:

'Oh dear you have lost the quest

Time to go back to Skegness

Gimme a D! ...

– here's a parody of HOT TO GO! by Chappell Roan (2023). Official music video (includes subtitles)

Dungeon's where are you are, questing with conviction

Helmet on your head in a realm of fiction

I don't write the quests but I make up ditties

Maybe shame you too if your end's not pretty

It's the challenge so few beat

And then post-mortems fall to me

I use a tried and tested oratory

When I'm sending a team off, sending a team off

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Seven letters to express

That your end's a fatal mess

Didn't quite achieve success

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Makes the Dungeon four folk less

Spells out your unhappiness

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Off you go, you lost the quest

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Off you go, you lost the quest

Well life force went to red and there'll be no healing

Eyeballs rolled away, skin is long past peeling

Sprites of energy don't do healthy fasting

Nothing more for you except my spellcasting

And in the Dungeon of Deceit

The cul-de-sac's a one-way street

No win for most of the sixty-nine teams

And then I magic them outside, magic them outside

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Seven letters to express

That your end's a fatal mess

Didn't quite achieve success

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Makes the Dungeon four folk less

Spells out your unhappiness

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Off you go, you lost the quest

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Off you go, you lost the quest

Maybe you fell off a causeway

In a pit or an abyss

Maybe it was blunt force trauma

Time is up, now for DISMISS

Maybe it was the Medusa

Or a blocker if you're Chris

Either way your quest is scuppered

Series 6: no more DISMISS

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Off you go, you lost the quest

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Off you go, you lost the quest

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Off you go, you lost the quest

D-I-S-M-I-S-S

Off you go, you lost the quest

Ooh, I miss DISMISS

Shall we bring it back for Geek Week?

Wait, I have to say the word?

After I spelled it?

What's that about?
