So chasing down colorful animals in the swamp is not the brightest thing I’ve done. Turns out blue popplebumps are magical. Their poisonous secretions are used in anti-magic potions, poisons, and spells. Worse, the little buggers are raised by these evil, vile, foul, frog-faced monsters who like to coat the barbed tips of their spears in the poison.

To be fair, they may have been upset because I was eating frogs’ legs.

I’ve been languishing in Brinewater’s healer hall for the past week or so while my leg heals and the seizures stop. I’ve been pestering the apprentices, and this is what they told me about their home, Brinewater Market.
