The Slog

The Slog is a location and potential settlement in the Commonwealth in 2287.

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 the Slog 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, perhaps the stereotypes about ghouls being monsters might fade.

Layout
The concrete building consists of a main room with two entrances, as well as two parallel shower rooms containing several beds and chairs on either side of the entrance. The ghoul inhabitants grow tarberries in the swimming pool outside, along with a cornfield nearby where the workers produce their own food. A children's playground is located beyond a fence near the settlement.
