Penshaw is a small village in the Proudmore Woodlands just north of Hopewell Harbor, one of the main port cities in the Freelands. Recently they've been experiencing attacks by the Bullywug tribe that lives in the nearby swamp called the Hillsmere Bowels. They normally don’t cause trouble but now people are being attacked and disappearing. Lany Krenshaw owns the local apothecary and her brother, Erik, has recently disappeared while on a trip to the swamp to gather supplies. She’s desperate to find him and has asked Bart, her husband and the village Mayor, to seek out help from outside the village.
