C11. A Prince Among Frogs

This room is luxuriously furnished with a well-crafted bed, night table, and armoire. Upon a gold-threaded pillow on the bed sits a green frog with a miniature gold crown upon his head. The frog is sentient and can speak, introducing himself as the prince of a faraway kingdom. He relates that he’s been enchanted by mischievous fairies, but if a fair maiden (or a plain maiden, or a man, as he is not that picky) will bestow a kiss upon his lips, the enchantment shall be broken. He promises that if freed from the spell and restored to his kingdom, his father, the king, will award the party with thousands of gold coins. In fact, the frog is no prince at all and is only remarkable in that he can speak and has poisonous skin. Anyone kissing the frog must save vs. Poison or be wracked with pain for the next 12 hours. A person in this state is completely incapacitated and for the duration is useless for adventuring. The frog will apologize profusely for such a turn of events, claiming that the kiss must have required true love to work. The frog has 1 hit point and no means to attack or defend itself. The only treasure here is a dainty miniature gold crown worth 4 gp. Brugh Level 2
