At the loud crack from the armory doorway, the kuo-toas down below look up at the balcony.  While none of the kuo-toas appear to have spied out Rowan just yet, the halfling is certain that if he dares move, he'll be seen.  At a hissing croak from the red-cloaked priest on the platform, the four kuo-toas in mail move to exit the chamber from a door directly underneath Rowan's balcony.  The priests remain fixed in place, peering intently about the room.[sblock=Wyleck]The dwarf sports a silver holy symbol of Drendd about his person.[/sblock]</blockquote>
