dungeon23 week 27 - it's (sewer) frog time

See the archive of all Dungeon23 pages here

I can't remember why I suddenly thought about frogs again this week (after week 24) but I did. This week is still in the "ancient abandoned effete sewer" section, and frogs aren't really noted for living in sewers.

In fact, it's not just about frogs - it's a combination of frogs and also some sort of now-defunct cult or spa organisation that came down from the city above to bathe in the pure crystal waters that have been unexpectedly discovered next to the sewer. At the same time, a back area of these waters has a magical flow upwards which has turned the native frogs very peculiar, and also dangerous. These frogs are known to make their way up the stairs that the spa bathers come down, to go up into the city to hunt.

Contains six different types of frog, and also the phrase "seething murder pool of cannibalistic tadpoles". Reading this again I see that one frog is 20cm long, does not attack, but anyone getting within two metres of it becomes haunted by ghosts.

I was very tired of sewers at this point which may be the reason for the frogs. This was the last of this segment.
