A sunny morning. Keelan & Neril spot the Pyrohydra moving east to feast on the corpses on the battlefield. Quillax leads a group of troglodytes into the swamp to locate the herbs for her Filth Fever cure, while Anastasia the 'demon emissary of Zevgizab' stays to guard the trog caves and bond with the giant alligator. The trog priest Ugilo assigns to the group five trog warriors including his son Ugilo Junior, a powerful trog warrior, one of those healed by Quillax.
Three of the group (Neril Keelan Sephiria) sneak south to the Pyrohydra cave while it's out and grab the best items from its piles of treasure, then rendezvous with the five trogs at the stream and head west to the bullywug village, joined by Gedout.
Ugilo Junior sneaks into the village and rescues a diseased trog maiden, Azoresh, from the Filth Fever hut, then proceeds to ravish her. Two trogs take her home. The group then sneak into the village, but a strange frog/octopus monster in the central pit raises the alarm. A fat female bullywug emerges with several others and uses enchanted arrows to explode Ugilo Jnr's two trog warriors. The group fall back, but Keelan blinds the female bullywug leader - she hops into the tadpole-infested lake to escape - then uses a fireball orb to blast the pursuing bullywugs, turning the tide. The party counter-attack, cutting them down - three bullywug survivors flee.
The group loot the chief's hut then head west to the bullywug's temple-cave, dispatching four more bullywugs. The enemy chief Daghop appears, a bullywug barbarian who fights fiercely but falls before their combined onslaught. Further in some giant frogs are easily dispatched. The tunnels beyond are coated with an ochre substance Sephiria identifies as Solifigud repellent/soporific. The group return to the trog caves to report and rest overnight. Quillax has returned with the herbs to brew a cure for the filth-fevered troglodytes.
