Brainstorming

Basic Concept

After the defeat of the Evil King, Shadow Ogro went into hiding. Three years have passed and the Cabbage Golems returned to their peaceful state. Master Chef Ogro returned to his little bakery in Cider City to exhibit his master skills from the recipes learned on his last adventure. Far beyond Cider City and Cabbage Patch Fort, even farther than the Dough Bread Mountains lurks a great evil. Inside Sugar Crystal Cave a twisted plot is stirring. Reports of new creatures have been traveling across the kingdom of Ograria where they reach Master Chef Ogro's ears. Master Chef Ogro picks up his wooden spoon and says "Let's bake this cake."
