Hound follows like...well a hound.
Realizing that she wanted to go right, but for some dumb god-like reason she went left, Mysty backtracks to the first room and moves to the passage the first intended.
The double passage leads to a small with a clear pool of water on its north wall. and then to another perpetually dripping cavern is empty save for amurky pool populated with blind cave fish .
"Tinny Un', why are we backtracking? That is dumb. You un's said there was frogs, see anything yet?" the ogre asks puzzled.
"But we didn't saw the fish on the other side too?" asks the ogre
While the ogre was talking, you heard coming from the passage you just left, the clanking of armor, a croak like sound, much like frogs.
Rose moves in closer to Mysty as she calls out the warning and pulls a pentagram-shaped throwing iron from half circle quiver on the backside of her sheild.
Hound has his greatsword at the ready and follows Mysty.
Nahia tries to be quiet as she sucks air from her teeth and watches, waiting to see what approaches.

The group keep posted, waiting for the enemies while Nahia prepares to curse anyone that enters…
…And the first one that enters, bulbous eyes glare atop this creature's decidedly toad-like head. A multitude of warts and bumps decorate its greenish skin.... and he fall asleep from the witch curse.
Behind him, several other frogs jumps croaking a emit a loud and horrifying croak.
The first frog that entered the place, is using a something looking rustic armor made of bones and metal, carrying a greatsword.
The others, use hide from animals and carry spears.
There's in total, six frogs, the last one kicked the one that was sleeping, waking it up.
Boggards resemble anthropomorphic frogs or toads, complete with webbed hands and feet, large eyes, and overly wide mouths. These creatures make their homes near large rivers or deep in marshes. There they make small villages composed of mud mounds on the banks. Boggards start out life as tadpoles in breeding ponds, eventually growing to a length of 3 feet before sprouting arms and legs and becoming capable of terrestrial living. Acceptance into the clan then depends on the young boggard's successful hunt to kill a sentient humanoid. Those who fail are exiled from the clan. As boggards age, they continue to grow and lose their coloration. Exceptionally old boggards bear completely white skin covering massive corpulent bodies. Some of these boggards rank among the caste of priest-kings and enjoy a life of grotesque pleasures ruling their clans.
Though often hunched over, boggards stand 5 feet tall and weigh close to 200 pounds. These creatures live for 50 years, though the harsh swamps and infighting usually cut these years short.
A boggard can hold its breath for a very long time.
A boggard can use it's tongue to hit a creature from a distance. A creature hit by a boggard's tongue attack cannot move more than 10 feet away from the boggard
From time to time, a boggard can emit a loud and horrifying croak. Any non-boggard creature within 30 feet of the boggard, has a change of becoming shaken.
Pyre's form wavered and became a roiling ball of black and and red spikes as fear shook its liquid body.
It fired two rays of red light toward the disgusting creatures.
For some reason she hadn't expected them to be so close. She cursed and dropped the throwing iron. In these close confines she wouldn't have to waste time throwing things.
She rushed forward along the wall of the cave and then hooked around Grumblejack's left side to come into position just in front of him, crouching slightly to make it easier for the big ogre to swing over her head.
She brought her axe in a low swing across the knees of the two frog-men in front of her.

Hound growls and moves forwards, slashing at any frog within reach.
Seren recoils in horror as she recalls the memories of their time outside of Brandescar. "Oooh, I hate frogs." She mutters, trying to shake the memory.
She flicks a finger at the well armed frogman. "Stay away you evil thing." She yells, mentally commanding the frog creature.

Blocked by the bulk of the party, mysty can do little, except throw fire.
She pulls out a alchemist fire and lobs it over the party into the middle of the frogmen.
fire in the hole
touch attack vs the orange dude in the centre, -4 is for cover
target can avoid the damage by taking a full round action to extinguish before taking damage, DC 15 reflex
splash for 1 hp
Nahia smiles as the one falls. Emboldened by her victory, she just chuckles through the hideous croaking sound and says to her allies "They carry primitive equipment! Try to keep one of them alive... if it's not too much trouble..."
The boggard near Rose attacks as she passes by him, but the spear clanks in the armor, offering no danger at all.
Using this opportunity, Rose swing her sword in a horizontal cut targeting two of the frogs, axe cutting the primitive armor like a hot knife in the butter.
Hound takes the opportunity and attacks as well, and even his aim wasn't good as Rose, the sword still find its mark, drawing green foul smelling blood. but the loud croaking affects the big warrior more than he thought it would, his hands were unstable and because of that, he wasn't able to hit his enemy.
Mysty throws the flask the fire splashes over the area burning everyone.
Seren cast a spell on the big bad frog. but it has no effect over him.
Grumblejack, the fearless, swing his massive hammer over Rose hitting the frog in the ground with a sickening noise, as the frog screams in his croak-like language.
"Elfy, they smell bad, don't think it's worth eating it."

Nahia's voice again begins a droning incantation. "Give in to your fear, collapse in your exhaustion, and find blissful ignorance in the other realm..."
Nahia curses the frog behind the others and he falls asleep showing almost no resistance to her curses.
--
The frog in the group reach for his weapon, which allows grumblejack attack him.
The massive hammer hits the frog, but that do not stop him from picking up his greatsword and from the ground, and get up, from the ground, its eyes bulging with bestial fury.
--
The other frogs croaking like mad, attack Hound, Rose and Grumblejack.
They attack, and the spears brush ineffectively on Rose armor, but they don't miss Hound or Grumblejack.
"Gah! Stupid. Bloody. Frogs." Seren mutters through a grimace, feeling her spell fail to grasp hold of the frogman's mind.
"Fine." She states, lifting her hand slowly drawing the power of undeath from the surrounding grounds. "Raise my minion. Attack these fools."
The skeleton claws it way through the dirt, penetrating eyes locking on the bulbous head of the nearest frog creature. It launches itself at the thing, clawed hands attempting to dismember the vile creature.

Hound hacks at the frog in front of him, rage filling his veins as he tries to shrug off the horrid croaks
Pyre continues to blast down at the frog men.
Rose cuts another wide arc with her axe.
Hound cleave thought his enemy, takes a step forward to attack the nest one, but his swing is too wide, and the blow goes astray.
Rose once again attack the frog with an horizontal slash, and this time her target falls. Using her momentum, the axe cleaves through the next one, but what appears to be the chieftain is still standing. Badly hurt but still functional.
Mysty throws another alchemist fire, while Seren creates more undead to fight for her. The Skeleton claws his way through the frogs defense, hurting it.
Pew Pew continue attacking the frogs, and with Seren minion, they bring down another of the frogs.
Grumblejack does not let the chance slip and attack once more.
The hammer hit the target, but the furry addicted frog don't seem to notice anything anymore.
The boiling ball of frog fury steps forward, jumping and stabbing at each one at his reach.
The first attack cleaves an horizontal slash cleaves through Grumblejack ending up cutting hound as well, then jumping and redirecting his sword, it ends up hitting Rose in the opposite side.
--
The last frog, is was sleeping peacefully until Mysty alchemist flame wakes him up, that's when he get up and flee.

Rose winced behind her helm. That hurt. As the other frogs ran, Rose ordered Pyre after them.
"Kill them."
Then she reached out and slapped a burning hand on the stupid angry toad. "How about you just drop that and give up, ugly."
Pyre skirted the edge of the cavern wall trying to keep out of reach of the angry frog as it went after the others.
The little archon was zealous. It might have been enslaved and corrupted, but a part of it still remembered its purpose. These frog things were blights upon the world. In spite of being ordered in service of evil, slaying them was still an act of goodness.

Hound works with Rose to take down the big frog
The skeleton steps up to the greatsword wielding frog, oblivious of the danger a its master lounges in the back.
Seeing the devastation the frogman was able to inflict on her companions, Seren takes a stutter step back, wanting to be nowhere near the thing.
"Yep. Nope. Not going near that." She mutters, shaking her head.
Looking for the best course of action, Seren decides that being behind grumble would probably be the best strategy, and slides behind him, placing a hand on his back as she does.
Nahia raises an eyebrow at the carnage that the frog inflicts on her companions.
I... I did not expect that. And who knows how tough he is. Best to wear him down while we have the chance...
Nahia grins at the frog and coos to him "Yes, that's it... so us just how strong and mighty you are."
The frog starts to hear whispered voices echoing in his head...
This is it, your weakness will end you...
These outsiders are too much... why couldn't you have been stronger?
You knew it had to happen eventually... one such as you should not have survived this long...
