[IC1] Pool of Radiance

Kordunn:
[SBLOCK]You pick up a few faint evil auras from the buildings in the east and west (remember: north is to the left) closest to your position. There are also two similar auras at the edge of your perception inside the temple.[/SBLOCK]

With his prayers, Eldwyn manages to heal Aylor completely and Kylest only retains a small scratch after his wounds have closed mostly. Dirtan heals Kordunn's wounds.

Meanwhile, Selvaggio finds absolutely nothing of value on the bodies of the fallen orcs. The only thing of note are the leather necklaces with the symbol of Bane, they all are wearing.

The attack on the temple guards obviously remained unnoticed, since no further orcs come rushing to attack the adventurers. For now.
 

Ping!

Kordunn (presumably still in the silence) waves his hand to get the group's attention. He then holds up a hand with two fingers and points to the temple. He holds up a few more fingers first pointing to the building to the east and then the one to the west.
 

Ripping the leather cords holding the symbols from the necks of the orcs, Selvaggio puts them in his pocket. Standing up, Selvaggio notices Kordunn's signals and gives him a thumbs up. Moving his finger in a horizontal circle (as if to include all the party members) Selvaggio then points to the temple.
 

Kylest nods at Selvaggio's gesture, and to lend further weight to his wordlessness, he hefts his blade once more and begins to ascend the steps to the temple doors. Before he reaches the top, he turns to observe and wait for the others.
 

Aylor Creegan

Fully healed, Aylor follows the blade wielding dwarf and heads towards the temple. Cracking her knuckles in the stone silence. She waits for the signal. It's clobbering time...
 


Eldwyn

Nodding at the silent instructions, the halfling and Rover take up a position near the center and Eldwyn keeps his sling at the ready.
 

left or right?

There is only a short flight of stairs leading up to the temple entrance. There are two tall stone doors seperated by a few feet of the temple's exterior wall, which appears to be as sturdy as that of a keep. The doors likewise do not appear as if they could be broken down easily. There are also no windows on the ground level, but a good twenty feet ahead some window frames can be seen, some with a bit of broken glass left inside, some without.

Dirtan expertly removes the arrow from the fallen orc, the spell will still be active for a few minutes and might still be of use, even though the arrow is not usable again.
 

Left it is.

Kylest looks for a moment between the two doors, but seeing no difference, he chooses the one directly in front of him. He stares up at the great stone doorway for a moment, and briefly considers the possibility that it may be trapped. Still, why guard a trapped door?

He moves to the left hand door and gently tries to open it, relying on the silence spell to dampen the sound of the doors movement.
