< List of Vendors Adventures of Cobasfang, The Dealer's Room The Adventures of Cobasfang Your Gateway to Adventure! Trapped within the pages of The Adventures of Cobasfang exists a world ravaged by creatures so savage that they ride on the backs of giant cave rats through the underworld of the great Crystal Mountain. There’s no turning back and escaping this nightmare is almost impossible. If you’re looking for another worn-out book about flesh eating aliens your definitely in the wrong place. Because this action-packed saga is jam-packed with swords, fangs, and a bucket load of bad decisions and drowning in desperate. The Adventures of Cobasfang is a fantasy adventure with characters so lifelike you might start to hear the crackling of their laughter and feel the sweat roll down their brow while they bicker amongst themselves and cross swords to survive another step. It’s a story so rich you’ll disappear from the comfort of your home and experience their thrills first hand as you stumble through the pitched black caverns until you finally find yourself helplessly snared in the moss dripping trees within the dark forest hungry for its next victim. That’s the difference between reading another author’s desperate attempt to push out another book, from someone sitting next to a gloomy, flickering fire, painting a heart-pounding adventure and unleashing the wonderous excitement caged in our hidden imagination.
