The story of Gumluck continues!

A hero fights for what is right! A hero's aim is true! Is the hero of this story like that? I don't know. He is the kind of person who might turn you into a donut if he's thinking too hard about donuts. His name is Gumluck the Wizard, and he is on a Quest. Along the way he'll discover singing goblins, unicorn magic, a possible ostrich that breathes definite fire, and three companions who are pretty sure they're heroes already.
