Carradoc says nothing about his attempt to blast the remaining statue, and is grateful that it is not mentioned. They've defeated the occupants of the garden, and he begins by moving through the space along the paths, searching for indications for other dangers ad perhaps resources that could help them. He looks particularly at the bases of the remaining statues.
He rejoins the conversation as retreat is discussed. "If we leave now, we will not have the opportunity of surprise again," he suggests. Yes, this was a challenge, but we could perhaps block off one of the two garden entrances to prevent being trapped, and cautiously make our way forward into this building, which..." (he says with unsubtle irony) "...is not the monastery it purports to be. Even if we wait here, we should be able to wear down anyone coming through tis garden, and sill maintain the means of escape if needed."
