Lair of the Spoiled Dragonfruit

Vol. 5 of the Cakewalk collection

Blessed with an iron stomach? Willing to dispense with the annoying inconveniences of food safety? Then sharpen your dragon peeling blade, ‘cos this is the 5th edition adventure for you.

The berryan people of Jamazonia face a terrible new threat. A legendary dragonfruit of old, twisted by a foul disease, has taken up residence in the heart of the jungle and is viciously driving all intruders out. Without neutral ground on which to hold their yearly moot, war is likely to break out among the berryan nations. And the dragonfruit’s sickness holds a darker, deeper secret that might mean the return of ancient evil to Y’ummm… if nothing is done to stop it.

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!

In the skies above the land of Y’Ummm, the Dragonfruit hunts its prey
