Garth McFarlane thought leading his chaotic girlfriends through professional dungeon matches while providing psychiatric therapy on the side was the ultimate challenge. Then he got recruited for the X-treme Dungeon Crawl special event, and suddenly he's got bigger problems than some possessive monster girls.

Join Garth McFarlane, the ex-therapist turned dungeon-crawling team captain, as he wrangles his mismatched squad of lethal, flirtatious, and utterly chaotic teammates.
