Are we supposed to understand that each dungeon name is unique (despite the rather weird cartesian-product naming scheme)?
The lists of dungeon-crawls in the dataset includes four for the “Lost Temple of Lemarchand” but the encounters listed for them don’t seem compatible with the ones described in the text. It includes none for the “Infernal Den of Cheliax”, which is a little odd. (Maybe everyone who tried got killed by the orcs, but that seems a bit unlikely.)
The text says “Goblin Tunnels” at one point and “Goblin Warrens” at another. It seems like the difference is probably significant. Are they supposed to be consistent with one another?
[EDITED to add:]
Are we supposed to understand that each dungeon has a fixed sequence of encounters, and that any given crawl meets with some subset of them, in a consistent order? Obviously any possible dataset is consistent with that hypothesis, if we allow the sequence of encounters to be large enough; just eyeballing a few cases it’s not a hypothesis I’d be much inclined to make if the text didn’t kinda imply that, at least as far as the three dungeons we really care about are concerned.
[EDITED to add:] I’ve spoiler-tagged all the above, although I don’t really see how any of it would give nontrivial information to someone else attacking the challenge.
Dungeon names are not necessarily unique—this dataset spans a long time, and so if the Lost Temple of Lemarchand is looted, and fifty years later a new Lost Temple is found in Lemarchand, that different dungeon may be given the same name, even though it is a different dungeon with potentially very different encounters.

“Warrens” is intended, I’ll update that.
