Normally, one can smell a bullywug pirate ship long before it appears on the horizon. You stand in the calli of the Temple of Bazim-Gorag , an ancient ziggurat at the highest point of the Island of the Frog , higher even than the canopy of the treacherous jungle that covers all. From here, you can see the flaming wreckage of your ship in the bay, the overlarge bullywug galleon, The Crapaud , sitting low in the water nearby, its cannons still smoking. Crossing the stretch of sea between the ship and the shore are three long skiffs being swiftly rowed by a motley crew of juju zombie musketeers, led no doubt by the notorious Captain Burrp and accompanied by his elite frogmen. The entrance to the ziggurat’s interior is a gaping stone maw lined with sharp obsidian teeth. There is naught but darkness down Bazim-Gorag’s gullet – darkness and the Great Treasure said to rest in the belly of the temple. From the jungle around you comes a cacophonous din like thousands upon thousands of cicada. Is it getting closer? What do you do? =================================================================== I am hosting this adventure for DMs only.
