Something's Amiss in the Rodist Vale

We find our party standing out in the cold streets of Wileforge, late in the night, with Balkas Waves standing over the body of a Misty Order assassin. After reassurances that the party is there to help Balkas survive the attacks of the Misty Order, the Chainbreakers head back to the Helmshead Inn. The next morning, the party sets out to find Amalvis Vidal, the enchanter who owns The Misty Curtain, only to find him missing. His assistant, Markus, informs the party of Amalvis' time spent out near Bullywug Tower.

The party heads into the Rodist Vale Swamp to investigate claims of cult activity and to find Amalvis Vidal. After a battle with some lightly armored Bullywugs, the party sees the Mendlehorn Lighthouse and meet Faramond Seibold. Faramond, an odd hermit, mentions that the Bullywugs seem more regulated and militaristic compared to their fun loving selves. This, combined with the glossy eyes that the Bullywugs seemed to have during the battle, led the party to believe they were charmed.

After approaching the Bullywug tower and fighting off a patrol of Bullywug soldiers, the captain of the Bullywugs approached the party, surrendering and attempting to throw away his spear. The party entered the Bullywug Tower, found their way through an enchanted hallway, and stumbled upon a small study. In the center of the room, a glowing white orb sat upon a tripod. Jean, convinced that this orb was the source of the Bullywug charm, pushed the orb off the tripod, shattering it into a thousand pieces. A bright light filled the room, and nothing but a light smoke emanated from the remaining glass shards.
