A scene from my #dungeonsanddragons campaign, The Land of Horns And Teeth~! This is a close up of @EK_on_the_411's Kei Hideki casting lightning bolt on the water in the swamp they were fighting crocs in ^^
In Slavic #mythology, Dziwozona, a swamp dwelling female demon was said to kidnap human babies & replace them with her own disfigured changelings. She’s described as an ugly, old woman with a hairy body. #SwampSunday #superstitions #folklore #Europe
Lough Leane, Killarney. A warrior by the name of O'Donoghue is said to periodically emerge from the water on the back of a white horse. The ghostly pair manifest on 01 May every seven years, but alas, I do not know the year they are next due… #SwampSunday

You got an invite from a friend to meet at the swamp. Looks like someone was able to get to them faster than you…
