==The ''Other'' Swamp Temple==

* They make a decision to warn the lizardfolk, and zoom off toward the [[Wydmoor Swamp Temple]].

* On the way, they encounter what appears to be a human being attacked by an orc, but take all of six seconds to realize that neither of those are being affected by attacks and that it is probably a trap.

* A very well-dressed hag becomes visible when as it attacks the next round, but when it doesn't quite land the blow, it immediately turns invisible and retreats, in true ambush-predator fashion. The party does not encounter it again.

* They keep moving, and join up with signs of an army, a couple of days ahead of the party.

** Some chat ensues. They give a bunch of news to the lizards, and the lizardfolk seem pretty bummed that an army a couple thousand strong is about to wipe out their home.

** The party promises to try to run the blockade relate this news to their leader, a sentiment for which the lizardfolk seem at least as puzzled as they are grateful.

* Travel continues, and they reach the army, settling in for a siege.

* Judicious application of ''darkness'' and the [[Lance of the Wolfen-Khan]]'s ''flight'' gets Beldon and Bobwhite inside, while Banner and Four keep watch.

* They're led through the temple, puzzling at the sights: a glass-enclosed dead tree with a noose on it, ancient but well-cared-for alchemy gear, and more lizards than you can shake a stick at.

* They reach a room with the strangest sight so far: Two ornately dressed attendants to each side of a [[Ressalssithalifthel'Keear|lizard mummy]] nailed to the wall.

** They get to briefly entertain the idea that it is an object of worship, until the two attendants, speaking in unison, make them understand that it is their leader, preserved some weirdo lizard alchemy.
