What would you do if you were lost in an alien land full of danger, lies, stupidity, duplicity, insanely clever traps, ravenous apex-predators and, to top it all off, the legendarily sarcastic child-eating, mushroom-scoffing, poetry-reciting ogre called Borborygm (the scariest monster ever invented in literature) ... and then you find everything in this land wants to eat you too?

It's all very simple really. Except Borborygm has it. 'I devoured War and Peace but this is so much better. Shorter too.'

Kind of predictable, but it's always fun. That was the plan, anyway.
