Series 4 saw a small number of new characters, including a new elvish assistant for Treguard.
Treguard, the Dungeon Master
The Dungeon Master continues to oversee the gameplay. He now has an assistant to supervise as well as the teams.
Pickle, the Elf
Pickle was Treguard's first assistant. Always eager to help, so he sometimes needs reminding of the dungeon rules.
Weeping Doors
These spellbound doors were locked with lies and could only be opened with the truth.
Hordriss the Confuser
The warlock was becoming an authority in the dungeon. He regularly agreed pacts for the team to be redeemed in Level 3.
Motley, the Jester
A returning friendly face often seen with Mellisandre and entertaining at the tavern.
Mellisandre, the Maid
The returning maid continues to help dungeoneers and get herself into danger.
Fatilla the Hun
A guard found around Level 1, usually wanting an item for safe passage, but also easily bribed.
Gundrada, the Sword Mistress
Renegade warrior with a large broadsword who threatens to cut off heads and frightens off goblins.
Merlin
Merlin's powers were waning by Series 4. He was often locked in stocks or providing cryptic problems.
Brother Mace
An entertaining tavern monk. Mace speaks Latin (with varied success) and swears by strong drink and insobriety.
Mogdred
The returning principal opponent and alter-ego of Merlin appeared in Level 3 to thwart teams' progress.
Malice
The fluctuating sorceress Malice could be a friend or foe, depending on what she could gain from a dungeoneer's progress.
Oakley, the Tree Troll
This wary tree troll kept predators at bay and tested teams' knowledge about the natural world.
Mistress Goody
This witch used her magical broom to sweep a chamber used by Hordriss and Malice.
Boatman
The boatman silently ferried the dungeoneer across the Dunswater after demanding silver or gold.
Goblins
These orc-like creatures patrolled the dungeon, particularly the fortresses and forest areas.
