DeepSummary
The episode begins with the heroes arriving at a frog village during a festival night, where they must deliver a stone circular tablet. After enjoying the festivities and introductions, the frogs reveal an underground tank filled with water housing a giant, monstrous turtle creature. The frogs worship and aim to control this creature as their 'God', requiring the tablet for a sacrifice ritual.
Questioning the frogs' intentions, the heroes decide to break the tablet instead, unleashing the turtle beast. This angers the frogs, led by their shaman Garland, who summons an army of frog warriors mounted on giant toads to attack the heroes for disrupting the ritual and freeing the feared turtle.
The episode ends with the heroes fleeing the village, having unintentionally released a destructive force depicted in murals as a city-leveling, ship-sinking monster capable of devouring whales whole.
