Hey hey! Hear this! I found where the rumoured froglet grove is! I managed to get a.. map for the grove. Its in the forest like... 3 hours Southeast from Dawnport. There's a waterfall over there, and a great place to picnic too! It was so calming. I'm sharing this because I want to share the happiness with you all. But don't get too carried away okayy!!
*P/S: You don't know me. So don't blame me if anything happens <3

Another Grove
Who did you meet?
Party:
- Fae
- Y
- Zaraki Daichi
- Zheng Yi
Others:
- Frogs, not Frogles, Frog people
- Bandits? And apparently who spread the rumor
What actually happened?
Helene's POV, she traveled out in hope to find this rumored 'Grove' mainly to search for usable and interesting Herbal plants of any kinds and sorts. Helene stopped and ended up finding the 'Grove' due to a crying child where she then find a group of people that naturally took her as part of the party member.
Helene gathered a couple of plants and mushroom and was aided by Fae in moving her wheelchair and helped by the others to move her from her chair to a boat that the party found that then was used to row through the waterfall, where a gap can be seen.
There they were seen by a group of Frog people, after conversing with them, Helene made the bargain / deal of helping them remove the rumor so others may not find their Cove any longer. On the way out, the Party was ambushed by a group of menacingly well armed men, about 11 or so. They asked if the party had found the treasure, which the party replied no.
Zheng Yi informed Helene that this is the person that told the Party of this location, combat ensues and they soon were felled by the party. Helene was merely there to hide and heal as best as she can, using the recently picked Herbs. The Old Frog Sage finally appeared and removed the rest of the Bandits.
Party made sure the other Old Man and possibly their Son? Grandson? That was held hostage earlier is safe and sound. Rummage through the belongings of the felled Bandits, and then return after Harvesting and Looting, etc.
Helene seems to write this in her Diary. She's glad that the tools and brew she made was able to help one way or another.
Zheng Yi's Diary Entry:
I was sitting at the bar of the Tavern today before heading over to the Quest Board to check out what quests I could go on. As I was approaching, I saw Zaraki Daichi talking to a mysterious man and overheard something about a map and the Froglet Grove. I remembered how important it was to keep that place hidden, and I thought maybe I should speak with Daichi about what I overheard. He was hesitant at first about sharing the information, rightly so, but after I told him that I've actually been to the Froglet Grove, he instantly poured everything out. Apparently, that suspicious guy is selling the secret location of the "Froglet Grove" to people, and the map shared showed the direction to be Southeast from here.
Cute little Fae came into the Tavern, and decided to join us on our quest, and she invited Sylph along. Soon, Y decided to come to our table and ask us to join his religion. I've never been much of a religious person. During my time at sea, I only believed in my late husband and all the men working under our leadership. Though some of them were shady characters, I could see that they put their all into pirating, and they definitely showed loyalty to my husband and me. Anyways, Y somehow joins us on our quest too.
As we journeyed to the grove marked on the map, we came across Old Man Zeke and his little grandson who only spoke in sign language. Luckily, I was able to communicate with him and found that he wanted to capture the little froglets to show off to his friends and somehow help stop the bullying. I remember when my firstborn, Zheng Yingshi, was still little, Zheng Bao would bully him as well. I comforted the kid, and we also taught him not to capture the froglets.
We investigated the area. I accidentally got high on some wild mushrooms while trying to pick them for Nyxara. Luckily, though, Y helped remove me from my hallucination with a spell. He also found a boat that could ferry us towards the opening behind the waterfall.
That's when we found the Toad's Lair. The Great Toad Sage was angry that more and more people had been coming to the lair and wanted to kill us initially. However, Helene, the wonderfully intelligent lady that she is, made a pact to get rid of the rumours in exchange for letting us live. Thank "God" (I guess) because I was not ready to die there.
Once we left the lair and returned to the grove, the suspicious man from earlier appeared with a group of his bandit lackeys, trying to attack us. We fought back as much as we could, but Y was severely injured, Helene wasn't exactly a fighter, and those bandits had a hold of Old Man Zeke and his grandson. The Great Toad Sage then appeared and helped us fend off those bad guys.
We managed to get a good amount of loot from those useless bandits and kept our promise to the Great Toad Sage about squashing those rumours of their location. I'm glad that we made more new friends; although I still find frogs and toads very icky. Who knows... maybe one day I will finally get over my dislike of them.
