Day 6, late morning - Temple Compound: Broken Tower
Merrick gives the heavy door a hard push, and it glides open on well-oiled hinges. The tower is dark and quiet, with the light from the overcast day only illuminating the area just inside of the door, and what appears to be waist high rock walls to either side of the entry.
You have only a moment to consider things, as a hail of arrows and spears suddenly streak out of the darkness!!!
Several bounce off Merrick's shield and heavy armor, but two arrows penetrate; one smacks meatily into his thigh (3 damage), the other grazes his arm (2 damage). Deren is also struck by an arrow (2 damage). Two arrows deflect off Zirat's heavy armor, but a third finds a weak point, penetrating into the champion's side (5 damage). Several other arrows and spears fly past harmlessly.

Merrick's vision provides him with a glimpse of what is within: A low (3 1/2 feet) stone wall flanks the door on either side, providing the bandits massed behind it with partial cover. The bandits behind this wall are armed with short bows.
A 5' wide choke point is the only access between the walls, and a massed formation of bandits holds this point. All told, Merrick spots at least a dozen brigands.
OOC: I'll post a map once the others decide what to do since Merrick is the only one who can see.

OOC: Surprise round is over, please post your actions. The interior of the tower is completely dark, but you are sure that you make perfect targets being silhouetted as you are against the daylight
