Show notes

Welcome to the Jungle! August and Jonathan prep their bug spray and pack extra socks for this journey into Magnamund's most dangerous jungle where we will search for ancient Dessi artifacts and seek to fill out our ever-growing bestiary of nasty creatures. But getting there is half the fun... or more than half, as the majority of this book is spent on actually reaching the borders of the jungle of horrors. Find out why this is, along with secrets of a certain necromancer, details on flora and fauna, and histories of gluttonous monks as Paido and Lone Wolf explore both the overload and river routes!
