Roxaria looks to the rest of the group. “I think we should be rested enough. Reginald. You mentioned that one path just leads to a cave with bat droppings? Unless there is no other pathways, we should look at going down the smaller path from these bandit’s campfire and see if Hulil is down there somewhere.”
She picks herself up and sheathes her sword and gets the torch to light the way ahead for the party and cautiously begins making her way down the main pathway.
After traveling down the pathway for a bit the party sees a lake blocking the way forward. Everyone can hear water dripping from the ceiling into the lake from the many stalactites. From its murky waters a massive blue skinned Ice frog rises. Larger than any other Ice frog seen before. With its large bulging eyes, it looks at the party as if waiting for something.

Vauthok’s mouth hung agape as the massive frog revealed itself from the murky depths. “Now that is one big ass frog..” he muttered to his companions as his right hand wrapped itself around the worn grip of his bloodstained greatsword.
"So you just met Eline yesterday? Well, you two seem to have hit it off," Kha replies to Trem but doesn't press any further regarding what appears to his as a budding romance.
After gathering up his equipment, Kha joins the others at the edge of the next pool. "It certainly is, Vauthock." He kneels down and tries to coax the beast over given the others have had success with the smaller frogs.
"Well, how about that! Looks like he's gonna give us a ride! Ladies first..?" Kha looks to Roxaria and offers a hand to help her get atop the giant frog.
"No, you're not crazy at all! See, I've honestly been wondering the same thing...especially since we've all been unscathed by this sickness. Something's really off, and I honestly can't put my finger on it."
(As they're getting on the frog's back):
"I hope my magic does something! Thank you!"
She stands next to Roxaria, politely waiting her turn to hop onto the giant amphibian's back with the help of Kha.
"Remember," Eline says to the party as they board the amphibian, "it's not slime on this thing: it's mucus!" She smiles playfully at everyone. Feeling bold, she reaches out and gives Trem's hand a squeeze when he hops on. Finally, she hops on herself.
With the party on its back, the massive Ice Frog swims across the lake and lets them off on the other side. Traveling along the only path the party sees a cavern and feels a warm rush of heat comes from a massive fire burning in the center of this cavern, its smoke venting up through a narrow stone chimney. The flames illuminate a rough painting of a five-headed dragon that dominates the north wall. A bedroll is spread out beneath the mural. Near the crackling blaze, a dwarf bundled in a heavy cloak sits on a stone chest beside an elf whose face is covered in dragon tattoos. The dwarf’s face is streaked with pulsing blue veins.
Hulli looks at the party. "Who are you and why have you come?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Despite her internal struggles, Eline steps forward, trying to be bolder than she usually is, and speaks in calm, even tones. "Madam Hulil," she begins, "we bring word from your sister, along with questions. Some days ago, Palebent lost a hero, Urgon Wenth, to a dire and horrifying sickness. This shouldn't come as any surprise or anything new to you. We were instructed by one Aldataur of the Glass Blades to find out the mystery of this sickness, and how to cure it. We fear your sister has succumbed to it, and if not already so, is dying. First, would you help us solve the mystery of this strange and fell sickness? Second, do you have a anything...ANY lead that could point us in the right direction to finding and making an end to this thing?"
Despite her outward show of calm strength, Eline feels entirely too nervous inside. It's everything she can do to keep her cool under stress.

"Yeah, I think you'll be good to go here soon," Kha says as he continues to help Trem tend to his injuries between bites of fish.
Giving Eline a smile a she steps away, Kha leans in a bit closer. "You two seem friendly. Did y'all arrive in Palebank together?"
(Everyone can proceed down the main pathway when ready. Unless anyone wants to go into the bat cavern)
I arrived a few weeks ago Trem replies to Kha. I was running low on funds, so it was good timing actually that we got this job, haha.
Well, I'm all good to go. You Kha?

Vauthok and Kha succeeds in befriending the massive frog. It lays down low with its back above water and gestures with his hand to get on.
"Well, how about that! Looks like he's gonna give us a ride! Ladies first..?" Kha looks to Roxaria and offers a hand to help her get atop the giant frog.

Eline helps keep the Massive Ice frog still as the party boards its back.
Trem doesn't reply to Kha, but his face turns a bit red. It turns a shade darker red when Eline helps him on the massive ice frog.

Roxaria appreciatively thanks Kha for the assistance in stepping onto the back of the giant frog. She makes room so the others can step on as well.
“This is so weird. I’ve never ridden on the back of a giant frog before.”
"Remember," Eline says to the party as they board the amphibian, "it's not slime on this thing: it's mucus!" She smiles playfully at everyone. Feeling bold, she reaches out and gives Trem's hand a squeeze when he hops on. Finally, she hops on herself.
(OOC: obvious Disney reference is obvious!)
Trem can't help but laugh out loud.
I wonder if it's related to Kronk!
