Intro
''Across dimensions, strength succumbs to knowledge. Yet knowledge wilts in the shadow of the unknown. And the unknown only yields to strength.” -- Grunch; as spoken to his captor''

Dialogue
"I am Aghanim. Yes, THAT Aghanim."

"Aghanim the mighty. Aghanim who studied dark, forbidden magic and became lost across the astral dimensions in an effort to create a grand scepter. I'm sure you heard lies of my works in hero school. But here is something your stupid teachers DIDN'T tell you: Aghanim then sought out the deadliest creatures from the darkest dimensions and brought them here to test the mettle of the mightiest among you. Sharpen your blades! Utter your incantations! Stretch! Perform your vocal warm ups!"

"What horrors lie in wait for your party? Allow Aghanim the mighty to tell you -- several horrors!"

"Aghanim the Generous offers you a panoply of ways to die."

"Such strong and mighty warriors! Imagine what you could accomplish with tools such as 'skill' and 'talent'!"

"Dear friends, Aghanim the humble does not toot his own horn! But if he did it would sound like the wails of your party meeting its demise!"

"Are you pumped? Great. Are you focused? Perfect. Did you pick out a headstone that reads 'Died of hubris, leaving behind only a cat and a pile of blood-soaked clothes?' I hope so."

"Surviving Aghanim the Mighty's labyrinth earns you my respect. But what's BETTER than Aghanim the Mighty's respect? The knowledge that you've outperformed everyone else in the world. And what's BETTER than knowing you've outperformed everyone else in the world? Prizes!"

"What darkness motivates your party to submit to almost certain death? It must be the most potent of all desires: the insatiable need for fancy stuff!"

"Champion, take in to your charge this rarest of babies. It is no matter how I got them. Look, they're not stolen."

"You've NEVER seen shoes like these before. Hand cobbled from a stock of long-forgotten quillboar leather, soaked in the sea-water from an alternate dimension, chic but practical for every-day wear, offered in men's and women's whole and half sizes. The price? Your blood."

"Allow Aghanim's keen eye to offer you a near-priceless restyling!"

"May all that gaze upon you know that you did not immediately turn to dust upon setting foot in my labyrinth. No, you waited dozens of minutes to do that."

"It's a time trial! We're putting time on trial! Time! Take the stand!"

Trailer
"Any layman with a feeble grip can carve wood or hammer steel. Even the tender hands of a child can grasp a set of instructions. But to create something takes rare hands. Shrewder hands. Handsome, brilliant hands. The hands that forged the first scepter of power. My hands have slipped through dimensions, touching things that warped the mind to test the mettle of the strongest willed."

"From the far reaches of the astral plane, beyond countless dimensions, MONSTERS! BEASTS! Beasts without legs! Beasts that are only legs! Heroes that aren't heroes at all! I have brought them here to answer one simple question: Can your hands wield the true Aghanim's Scepter?"

Trivia

 * Aghanim's (the announcer) voice actor is Rich Sommer.
 * This event uses many assets from the Siltbreaker event.
 * The name "Tiny and Io - Elemental Adventure" is a reference to a TI6 short film entry which involved Io stealing last hits from Tiny which results in a ping war. As a nod, players will always hear a ping whenever an Io is tossed their way.
 * The needle of light that shines out of a completed room totem acts as a compass pointing the players to the next correct doorway.
