Synopsis

Hey, you - yes, you!

Remember when we found that really deep hole and you jumped in and I had to jump in to rescue you and at the bottom of the hole we found the cave of the legendary Peanut Butter Beast?

That was one of our deepest - and most dangerous - adventures ever!

What? You don't remember?

Well, have I got a story for you!

Let me remind you how it all went down ... and down ... and down ... and down.
