[QUOTE="!DWolf, post: 8102974, member: 7026314"] I read it quite differently! To me it seems like the writer was expecting the temple to be run dynamically. Look at the descriptions of the creature tactics in areas C3 and C4:[spoiler]C3: Should the cultists here the sounds of combat or otherwise become aware of intruders, however, they rapidly equip their gear and move to join the battle. C4: Should they become aware of intruders within the fortress, they heat their warhammers in the trench before running to join the battle.[/spoiler] Very clearly a frontal assault is intended to be cause a dynamic response from the dungeon. The tactics of the priest in c7 are to avoid the negation of the door trap by having him open it when he hears fighting or to keep a reserve force in case the PC’s choose to use attrition tactics. Also notice how the walls are described - they tell both how to climb them and how to break through them. Clearly the author intended for the characters to try creative approaches to the situation.
