Great Forest Welfare Society – Session 3

Our heroes hurried back to the town of Forest Lilly to warn against the actions of the evil Koopa Kompany. They brought a vial of the slime that had polluted the stream and one of the robotic insectoids that had been spraying pesticides. I previewed with 5 year old and 8 year old that this…
