Meet the Boggards (Date: 1/2/12)

No sooner had the band arrived at the Hashberry Farm and surrounding lands than tragedy struck, a child had been snatched by a raiding party of boggards. Our heroes had barely enough time to discern that this occurrence was unusual before leaping into action. Chasing down the slow-moving frogmen, Euwyn and company killed all but one of the creatures and brought back the prisoner and rescued child to the farmlands.

The Hashberry were ecstatic at the rescue and explained that the boggards had for some time been pressing on their lands wherein the past they had existed side-by-side with little hostility. Euwyn used his magic to communicate with the prisoner and convinced him to lead the party into the swamp to speak with their leaders. 3-days into the morass, the party was beset by soldiers who captured the band and led them to boggard village. There a boggard who could speak rough common communicated that the boggards were being forced to pay tribute to a squad of fire-resistant trolls who lived to the north.

Euwyn gave the boggards 200 gp to pay this month's tribute in exchange for a promise not to prey upon the humans. He also promised to seek a resolution to the troll issue.
