5.8- Loamy's Choice Dec 03, 2025

Show notes

The warrens of Old Tunnel are vast, labyrinthine, and dangerous. One must take the utmost caution when traversing their mold-ridden expanses–unless, of course, you are the MolePerson designated Loamy. Then, barbeque sauce and a nursery song will have to do.
