Add a list or tag with showdown:woods

We’re going into the woods ’cos we have a tropical malady. What is it about the mosquito coast that brings out the crazy in colonizers, the best in predators? Deep in the earth, within the woods, emerald forests and tragic jungles, where lost cities lie and wilderpeople, sorcerers, spirits and wolfwalkers roam, it’s time to kick up the red dust.
