Alzar thought that he was done with the oard invasion plans, but perhaps they have created new ones after he destroyed their outpost, or maybe even they have renewed a different attack here. (Alzar is 4032 years in the past)
He heads to OtherSpace to pull out Azzil and some items that are probably good for this area, such as his Ring of Water Command and Bracelets of Swimming (Which increase his swimming speed considerably). He flies over to a large tree to hide behind it, in the air, and uses the Crystal Balls to scry (With three Crystal Balls, he can scry 9 times a day.) He uses these to get a feel for the surrounding environment.
After he spends some time with his magic, he returns and flies down to the swamp. Frogs are clearly considered holy or special here, since there are multiple species of frogs kept in cages and roosts, and a special version of frog people in a nearby villa (Frog Town) as well as the motif of the frog everywhere.
He’s confused. This doesn’t have the feel of another press by the oard. There is some updated, non-Mystaran technology here it seems, but it’s not like the oard.
Here is the front view of the Temple of the Frog
As you can see, there is another interstellar vessel here of some sort, and this is not the style of the oard. It’s too soon to tell, it could certainly be another vessel from another group, but that’s a bit odd.
There have been a few animals in the great Frog Swamp that have missed him, like giant leeches and crocodiles. He is going to float over aerially, rather than float over water, in order to keep clear of the creepy crawlies and to keep his presence undetected for now.
The carpet slides over and Alzar drifts from tree to tree, taking things in and watching to make sure that nothing is coming after him.
After a short while, Alzar unloads from the swamp and enters the temple compound and uses his Ring of Invisibility.
