The Slog

The Slog is a location and possible settlement in the Commonwealth.

Background
Once the Middlesex Country public swimming pool, The Slog is the best (and only) tarberry bog in the Commonwealth. The name "The Slog" only came about recently after a heavy rainstorm and a trader had to "slog" through all the mud to get a shipment of tarberries, but it was worth it. Even more unique, the settlement is run entirely by ghouls, who formed it after Mayor McDonough exiled them from Diamond City. The way Wiseman sees it, if this place could be more than simply a refuge for outcast ghouls and seen as an example of what can be achieved when a collective put their minds to something and cooperate, maybe the stereotypes about ghouls being monsters might fade.

Settlement information
The settlement area is rather large, encompassing the shower house, the tarberry bog, and some lands surrounding. There is a decent amount of scrap lying around for wood and steel, but the shower house is completely intact an provides ample shelter anyway. In addition to the tarberry bog, there is also plenty of arable land for other crops and water pumps. A meager chainlink fence provides some defense against raids, but considering how dangerous the region is, the Slog is likely to encounter its fair share of attacks.

Layout
In front of the swimming pool that serves as a tarberry bog, the shower rooms serves as the bunkhouse. There is an auxiliary farm next to the tarberry bog and the settlement comes pre-equipped with an armor workbench and cooking station.
