We're almost to the end of the game in the first difficulty. So we decided to try some the medallion rounds.

- The Four Horsemen were easy with critical hit and a fast high damage weapon.

- Tick Tock was pretty easy with the Cleric's magic hammer to help.

- The protect the gnomes one took a few tries.

- Collect the Pearls took a lot of tries to find the hidden air pocket in the bottom left getting the 2 pearls we couldn't find.

- Soul Break is still beating me (14 of 20 released)

- Frogville was pretty tough, though I have found a pattern to get the first 100 frogs without getting killed. From spawn point go straight (west) until you reach a wall, turn left (south) until you reach the next wall, turn right untill you reach the outside edge, turn right (north) and follow the outside edge all the way around. You can turn around for up to 3 missed frogs, any more than that and you'll be too slow. I beat.

- Crypt of decay was pretty tough, especially when it didn't give me enough keys to do the whole maze. Had to skip a locked door to complete the maze. The end guy is pretty tough.

- Kobold Onslaught seems really luck based. We've made it to round 7 without losing a cart. Still working on it.

- Gnome Rescue was pretty easy as long as you kept the Gnomes together and used sound to figure out if the other side of the party was being attacked. Also getting the Gnomes to walk all the way into the end circle is important. They will just hang out outside of it.

- Warlord's Endless Horror was HARD. We could not do it with a pure Melee guy as he always died. Did it with a Cleric and her Magic hammer. The Hammer beats on the wave Boss while the cleric runs away and takes out the minions as they get in the way.

- Death's Countdown is still beating me. I think I need a speed or stun spell.
