The Great Frog

Wylder was a hermit in the marshlands. His shamanistic skills allowed him to perform many feats of magical wonder to the denizens of the swamp along with travelers. Until he discovered the lake of souls. He met a ferryman who had a small price to pay, two gold coins, to travel across the lake to the center of the nexus of magical energy that connected the swamp. What he discovered was a curse. A demonic being who was in the guise of a large frog. The frog was trapped and helpless. A benevolent being such as the Shaman could not see such a soul go unhelped. The frog instructed him to find the blue gemstone hidden in the swamp. With it, he could free the frog who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Shaman found the stone and returned it to the center of magical energy. What he did not realize is that the demon laid a trap. The Shaman and the demon swapped bodies as the soul transference was complete. The blue gem stone now embedded within the frog kept him a prisoner and the demon now set free in the Shaman’s body.
