Many frustrating hours spent running around the river bank have shown me no toadem; i'd love to kill the "evil" for the toads, but they weren't too hot on instructions; a pity the location wasn't addded to the automap! can someone help??

Talk with the Toad Shaman, he will open a trap door. Follow the way, you cant miss the Evils. Dont forget to say the Password (Ugabu or like this, dont know exactly) to him!!! You can speak with him about all things, but if you dont say the password he will never open the trap door, costs me many ours to find this out.

Aehm and excuse my bad english

farewell

the password is ukabu. you must say this to the toad guard in the first hut as well make sure its daytime they wont accept you at night

Yes, and you have to say "Ukabu" to the shaman too. I was stuck for a long time, because he seemed to have given me the quest already, but I hadn't said "Ukabu" yet, so he never opened the door.

Toad Hall!!
Do they actually call it that in the game? Does anyone remember The Wind in the Willows and Toad Hall?
If so, that's a neat touch..
