Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Teleported... and burned

We continued down in the obstacle course, but now that I've read the level's rules again, I realized that 1) you can't continuously teleport and 2) there's a voiceover whenever something happens. So more footslogging this time.

I didn't take notes but here's some highlights.

Szivem knotted all her robes, clothes, undergarments and blankets into a single length and rappelled down into the pit to retrieve her magic items. Dressing down and then up elicited comments from the announcer. Then she went in circles around the tunnels, dodged the automated crossbows and disarmed them, then fumbled back into the starting room.

Brienne opened and closed the magic double doors a couple of times, triggering several runes and taking damage, but also a magic shield. Then she tried to go over the spectral bridge, but managed to fall into the lava. She didn't die thanks to the magic shield, and got out with her fay Misty step. She stumbled around, ran into the automated crossbows and took one in the back, then stumbled to the starting room.

Ireth slithered through an electrified portcullis in snake form. Then she was teleported across the chasm into a room with a key on the ground. 3 columns animated and tried to eat her. She ran away, flew in eagle form across the chasm, explored some empty rooms and hid at the entrance to the next level... not engaging a horde of zombies.

Tari stumbled across empty rooms, took a magical coin from a Halaster statue, shot a button to lift an electrified portcullis, and got to the starting room.

Antrius decided to ignore the chasm, bridge and portal and went into the corridors instead. He opened a crypt unto a pack of zombies and a resting dark elf. He slammed the door shut and carried on. This was too funny. Then, he fell into a pit trap and breathed in a cloudkill spell. Getting out, he discovered a secret room with a huge gear, which always snapped back after he left the room. Physical stuff - chains, ropes, pitons - did nothing. In the end, Antrius fireball'd  the room. This finally blocked the wheel. But what does it do???

Groin stepped into a room where some gith awaited him in battle stance. He also slammed the door. I just couldn't even.
