Swineherd's House

Summary

The Swineherd's House is a profoundly unsanitary dwelling that served as the residence of the immortal Swineherd. Located in the campaign world, the structure has been described as "essentially an outhouse" and "disgusting," its filthy condition a direct consequence of its occupant's immunity to disease and complete disregard for hygiene and bacteria. In Session 10 of the campaign, most of the party explored this location and discovered several magical items within, though Cat notably refused to enter the premises.

Description

The house presents a repellent appearance and atmosphere, with conditions so poor that it functions more as an outhouse than a habitable dwelling. The Swineherd's immortality and specific immunity to smell and disease meant that bacteria and sanitation were of no concern, resulting in an environment that accumulates filth without consequence to its occupant. The squalid conditions of the dwelling deterred at least one party member from crossing the threshold.

History

Session 10

During this session, the party entered the Swineherd's House and conducted a search of the premises. Despite the revolting conditions, they rifled through the house and located several items of interest. Among their findings were a wooden stick that would later transform into the Wooden Limb, two potions of unknown properties (one of which was the Purple Goo), and potentially other magical items. Cat elected not to enter the house, presumably due to its appalling state.

Notable Features

• Outhouse-like construction — The building functioned essentially as an outhouse rather than a conventional dwelling
• Extreme uncleanliness — The interior was filthy due to the Swineherd's immunity to disease and lack of concern for bacteria
• Magical item cache — Despite its condition, the house contained valuable magical items including:
  • A wooden stick (the Wooden Limb)
  • Two unidentified potions (including Purple Goo)
• Deterrent conditions — The house's state was severe enough to prevent Cat from entering alongside the rest of the party
