  • Still looking for the orb in Season 2, the party stumbles upon a Druid whose entire order has been murdered by the evil wizard Nerrena and her minions. Nerrena, who also wishes to obtain the orb as it belongs to the Lich Lord she brought into the realm, hunts the party down.
    Now, the adventurers think they’re ready to face the Devouring Dungeon...to find the mythical Fountain of Experience.
    They’re not ready.
    They’ll probably die horribly.

Composition
It was a very challenging experience because I had to juxtapose the literal script with the musical script in order to achieve a balance where the result is even more comedic than treating it like a regular comedic film but at the same time describing the personality of the characters, the period, and the place where the film is supposed to happen.

Even though there are several characters in the film, instead of creating a theme for each one, I though that it would be a better idea to separate the musical story telling between the most important situations that happen throughout the story.

Orchestration
The palette of sounds used for this film is mainly epic orchestral.
