Before Loki can return, a burst of commotion happens near the front "entrance" of the camp. An orc is bound and being carried/dragged by a trio of heavily armored cultists, their faces showing cuts, scrapes and bruises, the orc sporting even more.
You overhear them saying
"This one's going to the Voice, he'll be happy for this execution" one of them says, holding the struggling orc tight.
Valahad leans in as they drag the semi-conscious humanoid up the stairs,
"Listen, this may be our chance. I'll create a distraction down here to draw the guards away, and you rush the temple. Any enemy of theirs is a friend of ours. Take down the leaders and my sacrifice will be worth it" the paladin calls out, moving quickly away from the group and throwing off his cultists outfit once he's a distance away. He proudly displays his holy symbol, shouting
"By the light of il-Yannah, I have come to cleanse this place" and drawing his blade.
As predicted the cultists look to swarm him, en masse, the guards abandoning the stairs and moving to engage. The stairs look open...
