"I think we need to leave," Deren says nervously. "There's more on the way and though the web may hold them out, it may also trap us in. Besides, the south here is open and in a place like this, we don't know for sure if one of the walls around us opens up into a secret passage."
Ciaran looks around. He watches as Jinx and Shoon head south to check on things. Picking a bit of cobweb out from between his teeth, he decides that the exploration party will be able to take care of themselves. He comes over to Aeron and Zirat. "It is not my training to extract information, but I can ask questions." He crouches over the guard Aeron stabilized, and inspects him. He pats him down, checks any pockets and pouches he can find, feels behind his ears, looks inside the guard's mouth, and finally, once he is properly manacled, checks his eyes. Ciaran's approach is clinical and thorough, almost like checking a horse for insect bites or signs of disease
Sir Merrick prepares a javelin, ready to hurl it at the first foe who shows his head.
Shoon looks at the others. "It sounds as though they are scared of us, perhaps we can get them to give up now. It wouild be much better than a prolonged battle, even if we are capable of winning it." With the fallen foes no longer in danger of dying, he starts moving down the southern passage and yells at the voices. "Fight, and we shall defeat you! Flee and we shall hunt you down! Surrender now and you shall be spared." When he gets to the corner he glances down at the obviously dead bandit for any signs of rank and then peeks around the corner.
[sblock=Shoon]
The dead bandit does not appear to have any markings of rank or such.
Around the corner, Shoon sees another chamber...and multiple temple guards. The three he sees stand ready, crossbows aimed toward him. There appear to be more guards behind the first rank, through a door on the west side of the chamber. They appear to be waving and calling to more reinforcements behind them.

Jinx remains in the western passageway and posts a watch looking west.
[sblock=Jinx]
Jinx still has color spray readied, yes.
Jinx can continue to hear voices beyond the webbing (in the vincinity of squares AO63/64), but he is unable to see anything trough the webs, or make out what is being said.

"By Pelor's will, I shall revive one now," Aeron nods to Sir Merrick. As the cleric moves to the same man he just healed, he looks to the members of the group not directly guarding the passage. "I could use help. I'm not of the inquisition persuasion." The guards eyes flutter open as Aeron heals him.
Zirat goes to help with the interrogation. "Speak! You son of a Troll."
The big champion shakes the human guard. "How many are there? Where is Lord Krane?"
