“When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions…and a member!
They’re eager to go back and save her, but there is just one problem: If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they’re sure to starve on the way!

But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: “Let’s eat the monsters!”

Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons… none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!”
