Background

A tribe of bullying frogfolk worshipped their loathsomely bigoted god Wug'gi at a temple deep in this swamp. Centuries ago, the frogfolk’s high priest and king vied for control, until the king died mysteriously.

Rather than submit to the priest’s megalomaniacal rule, the new king, leery of suffering his father’s fate, entombed him in the temple then led his people away, never to return. The spurned priest, left to rule over his temple alone, eventually saw his resentment, anger, shame, frustration and isolation transform him into the hateful undead Bullywight.

A hag named Wicked Jackie Chickenfoot has recently arrived in the area after her old coven broke up and is trying to establish herself as a new power in the swamp. She scouted the temple invisibly and now covets it. Wicked Jackie left clues luring the explorer Henry Walton to his (un)death at the temple (of his own doom), then paddled his boat back to his house, made up a notice, and created a false persona as his “wife”.

By luring people there for the Bullywight to add to his undead retinue, she hopes to cultivate his support for her swamp dominance or, at least, get permission to stash prisoners in an unused room. In the event anyone kills the Bullywight, she will seize the whole temple for her own headquarters.
