Description
From the publisher blurb:
The cloister has stood on a desolate ridge overlooking vast swamps since time immemorial. Dedicated to the great and terrible Tsathoggus, this edifice of evil was destroyed again and again through history, only to re-emerge from its slumber once the forces of Law grew lax and the terrible deeds of the frog-cultists became forgotten. Now a new order rises among the old walls, while older evils stir in stone grottoes and underground sanctuaries. Spies visit the settlements of the marshlands, and offerings make their way to the cloister where the monks hold their vigils as their ancestors have, guarding a nightmare that refuses to die.

Quotes (from this video)
- And the Abbott was like, "Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no. We don't have to fight."
- He managed to get a critical hit that killed the Abbott.
- I mean, he could have been easily killed. It was like a great moment. Everybody's like looking at me. He's like I'm going to you know. So you take 1d20 damage 1d20 damage. I said, "Go ahead and roll."
- The players then discussed, well, what do we want to do as far as getting back to our ship?
- But instead, uh, we actually cut away because the the players are doing that for like a week or 10 days. And uh so now we're going back 10 days in the past.
