Passing through the doors, they enter a large, room with high ceilings.  The mood is quiet and dark, but almost peaceful.   It is a large sanctuary with stain glass windows depicting Pelor, god of the sun along one side.  On the other the glass depicts Weejas, god of magic and the dead.  In the middle is an altar and, at the altar is a priest, in yellow robes, praying.  He turns when he hears you enter."Oh, welcome....come in."  He seems troubled and confused,"I hope everything is alright.  I didn't expect anyone but the High Priest...how did you get a key to the gates?   Things are quite troubling. The Beacon has gone out and I think something very bad has happened. "It seems this priest is unaware of what has happened.[SPOILER="GM"]You've made it safely to the Temple!You've got some time to identify your potions and gather yourselves together.I have a bit of exposition and rp to do before we short rest.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
