Well, there is a river that flows through campus RIGHT next to the cafe, but it is not a fast stream. Its only like four feet deep, which means Ooboron could wade through it. The frogs dutifully follow, though every now and then, they look around
As you pied piper the frogs, roll another DC 5deception or performance check. Someone can give him help if they want.

Ooboron is both ecstatic and terrified as he continues to lead the giant frogs away from those they might hurt. He's pretty sure this isn't going to end well, but he keeps hoping for the best. He occasionally reaches up and touches the necklace his grandmother gave him that cannot be seen, but can be felt still dangling around his neck below his illusionary sparkly bowtie.
Performance: 21
@DM: Are they making noises? Just a reminder that once Ooboron has heard them for one minute, he can mimic their noises perfectly. Until then, he's only as good as his performance checks.
They are making noises. A minute passes as the weird parade makes its way to the river. The frogs follow Ooboron, hopping along. By now, he has perfectly memorized the sound.
You have reached the river, what do you do?

Weaver is with him, helping as she can. If he stops, she'll try to assist in the luring by casting Dancing Lights to create small globes of glowing light that dance and bob slightly, kind of like fireflies. She'll cast them in a blinking string out to about 120 feet, continuing to lead them away from the school and into the dark.
"Your croaking is getting really good, Ooby! Keep it up, maybe we can get them lost in the woods - and then I want to go back and ask the others if they saw anyone casting a spell. I don't think our little froggy friends did this to themselves..."
You lead the frogs down the river, which eventually leads to the Witherbloom Campus. Towering trees, swampy bogs, and various students all populate this humid but fantastical place, where myriad pupils of the natural cycle of life and death come to learn.
A teacher approaches you, his pale skin glistening in the heat. He sneers, revealing fangs. A dhampir, you think, but no, this is something more. He exudes a super-natural charm and confidence, a level of suave above particular halfling bard of a particular adventuring party from a world with deities similar to fourth edition. Right now though he is not leveraging this charm at all, in fact, he is glowering. The vampire, for that is what he is, stands in front of you in his teachers garb. "What do you think you are doing? And where did you get those frogs?"

"You found these frogs, you say? How do I know you didn't summonthem." The teacher turns to Ooboron "And why is he imitating those slimy things?" If anything but a immediate response is given, he snaps at the party "Well? I expect an answer!"
Ooboron, roll performance again to keep the frogs busy during this conversation

Weaver steps forward. "Yes! Well, no, we didn't summon them. See, there was a frog race and these frogs had the cutest little outfits (mine had a top hat) and I suspect he may secretly been the emperor of all the frogs but that depends on if he can get a duchess to kiss him but anyway after the race the cute little frogs turned into big, nasty frogs, and we're new here so we didn't know if maybe someone else had casted something on them so we didn't want to hurt them so Ooby here was trying to lead by example (and doing a fine job of it, I must say) and lead the big nasty frogs out to where they might get lost in the woods and not harm any students."
She then stands there, looking sweetly up at the professor, a big grin on her face as she fidgets with the ribbitclicker she made.

Elsenia steps forward. With her pale skin and dark hair, she appears rather similar to a vampire. Being a student of Witherbloom, she hopes to assuage the professor's anger.
"Please, Professor," she begins. "They were regular frogs until they transformed right in front of us. We don't know who did this. We just want to keep everyone safe and release these frogs into the wild. Ooberon is imitating the frogs to lead them away from campus."
The druid gives the vampire professor the most winsome look she can muster, her eyes going big and pleading.
"Well, bringing frogs into the middle of my campus is hardly keeping people safe. The disgusting beasts are probable going to eat a student soon, and that would be very bad for you. Get them out of here, now!"

Venrys turns to the vampire with a bow. "With all due respect, professor, we too want to keep the other students safe. Ooboron here is attempting to do just that, without slaying these creatures outright. Is there some place we could lead them that they wouldn't pose a threat to anyone else?"
The professor stares down at Venrys "With all due respect, Mr Stradovari, I will not have wild beasts running around my campus." At that moment, a crocodile comes lazily walking down the path, then slithers off into the bog "Well, wild beasts that I have not approved of. I suggest you leave before you meet the detention bog." The professor points after Ooboron

Elsenia briefly wonders about the detention bog and decides that she never wants to experience that for herself. She tugs at Venrys' arm. "We'll find somewhere else," she whispers.
Then she follows along after Ooby and the frogs. With her staff, she almost looks like a strange sort of frog shepherd. She studies the ground and her surroundings, trying to determine the best place to lead the frogs. Maybe there is a river or a lake near the campus?
You are in Witherbloom campus, which is essentially on top of a giant bog. There are many ponds and other places to put the frogs. The Professor watches disapprovingly.

Theo hangs back and helps to usher the frogs out of the building. He does his best to keep bystanders safe from the giant creatures.

I'd lead them away from students, whichever direction that is. Is there a body of water or woods or something?
Oop, lemme look at the map.

Ooboron considers saluting the professor, but decides that wouldn't be a good idea, and moves on, hoping the frogs will keep up as he hurries.
Venrys turns to the vampire with a bow. "With all due respect, professor, we too want to keep the other students safe. Ooboron here is attempting to do just that, without slaying these creatures outright. Is there some place we could lead them that they wouldn't pose a threat to anyone else?"
