Slippery When Dead : New 4th-Level Adventure for Fifth Edition (Patreon)

Estimated Duration: 3 hours
Suggested Music: "Ritual Deep, Dark, and Wet" by Music d20

Court of the Frogfolk Queen

One of the trademark characteristics of frogfolk is the "kingdoms" which they form in the swamps of their homelands. These bizarre mockeries of legitimate monarchies may seem amusing, but make no mistake: the frogfolk themselves regard their king or queen with the utmost respect and authority and will tolerate no perceived slight against them.

Where To Add This Encounter

This side trek is designed for three to seven 4th- to 6th-level characters and is optimized for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 4. The encounter is great for when the characters are traipsing through a swamp or wilderness area and you need a quick, unusual encounter before they reach their final destination. 

Whether it's the promise of ill-gotten gains or the end of a frogfolk warrior's spear, something convinces the characters to stand before the infamous frogfolk queen.

Note: This encounter is meant to be handled in a diplomatic fashion as the frogfolk will vastly outnumber the characters. Characters with itchy *fireball* fingers may find themselves served up on a platter to the frogfolk queen before they can find the guano to cast the spell.

Note: For SRD-compliance purposes, there are frequent references to "frogfolk" in this adventure.  Be sure to use any "frog-like" humanoids from the *MM* for frogfolk. Hint hint.
