The Good, the Bad, and the Oni

Vol. 2 of the Cakewalk collection

Ready for a different brand of spaghetti western? Think you can handle your spice? Best pack a potion of dairy just in case, ‘cos this is the 5th edition adventure for you.

The infamous Gum Gang has stumbled upon something monumental in the heart of Pahn’Trie: a powerful spice fiend imprisoned in a walnut mine aeons ago by the Gods of Flavour themselves. Drawn by the creature’s promises, the outlaws have taken over the mine and toil away to release the ancient evil, threatening the nearby settlement of New Scoville. Do you have what it takes to run the bandits out of town and make sure the hellish pepper oni never sees the light of day?

This unique, easy-to-run monster hunting adventure is playable at a variety of levels. Investigate the creature to find its weaknesses, prepare your plan of attack, then unleash your fury and win magnificent loot!
