Story: The Croak That Follows
They say there's a patch of earth past the cypress line where even the moon won’t look.
No birds, no wind — just rot and ripple.
Locals call it the Wet Black Hollow, but the older folks still whisper the real name — Amphagorr.
He’s not a creature. Not exactly.
Not like the gators or the leeches or the things you can put down with a shovel.
He’s more... an idea the swamp had one night when it got lonely and hungry.
The story goes:
If you wander out there carrying secrets in your chest — lies, guilt, shame, whatever weight you ain’t confessed — he’ll smell it. He’ll croak your name, slow and deep, like it’s been bubbling under your skin the whole time.
That’s the last thing you’ll hear before the water gets warm.
There’ve been sightings, sure.
A tall, frog-like man — greenish-black, with eyes like glowing pearls and a mouth that don’t move when it sings.
Some say he’s worshiped by gill-men and moss cults.
Others claim he is the swamp, given shape just long enough to collect a toll.
No one's ever come back clean.
The few who did make it out? They got frogs in their hair and rust in their lungs.
And they never sleep right again.
The band JURN went down there once.
Recorded what they could.
This song is what came back.
Play it loud.
But don’t play it near still water.
He hears.
🐸 Drop a 🦴 in the comments if you made it to the final croak.
Swamp gods see everything.

STOPNot cool to get this and power down yours.
oops sorry I honestly dont know what I am doing I thought powering down to stake was a good thing. Is it to late for me to fix what ever I broke?
I suspected so.
I am here to help if I can. I want you to succeed, I want many to succeed.
You broke nothing.
Let me try explain.
Getting HBD is a good thing. It will hold the value with less rick than Hive Power.
However you need some Hive power too.
Hive power gives you resources. The resources let you do the different things on the chain. You use up resources instead of paying a cost fee. So in theory. The cost to actions is covered by the HP you hold.
With the 100 HP delegation. You should be bale to post daily and perform any other actions. If you are ever told you do not have enough resources, Send me a DM on discord. TheHive#4070
Let you HP grow until you have 100 Plus of your own. As you grow in HP I will remove some. But always leave you higher than you were the last time some got removed from delegation.
Buttcoins, one other and myself are voting on your posts. Regular posts now will bring a bit more than they did before.
In this you will get Liquid reward. You will also get some HP to grow. Let the HP grow. You also get curating rewards from the votes you give out.
If you voted 100% 15 times a day. This would generate a bit over 0.01HP a day to the HP from curating. By the time you reach 100 HP you will still have at least 50 HP from silverquest.
What you do with the liquid rewards that come in. I do not care. I think if you try the powering up. It has some advantages. That later if you have grown the HP. If HIVE goes to 40 or 50 cents. That is a time I would think to be better to power down some of the stake.
Hope this helps with an understanding.
I just saw you gave 100 or something, seriously I been around for a while but I really don't know what is best for my account or others at this point, It looks like i have 4 days to"stop" this, what ever that means. I did not mean any disrespect. I wanna fix it for the greater good. Should I stop it? can i? is it to late? is HIVE better than HBD? sorry for the trouble
I stopped it "I think", hope this makes up for my ignorance. From now on I will just let it do what it does, I collect every 10days or so and stake that balance instead of moving stuff around with the power down feature? Thanks again for point out an error I will try to do some research next time
I hope the first reply suits.
Lets get you over 200 before the HIVE hits 50 cents. Then if you power down 100. You still have 100 to get you started again.
