"Yet more bodies, I see. This doesn't seem to be the most hospitable of places."
He checks the dead to see if they too have the claw marks, and if they do, points out these wounds to Kazuyo.
Angelo notices the bodies are marked in the same way, and also carry the imperial insignia. (No further search check needed, since he knows what exactly he's looking for)

Kazuyo acknowledges Angelo's statements then checks out the edge of the pit and up to the hallway on the right side of the room.
When Kazuyo gets to the hallway he listens to see if anything is down the hallway.
"Angelo, would you find out what is going on in the other room? It's deathly quiet."
Kayuzo inspects the crevice, noticing that it is 5 ft. deep and is shaped as if it was a basin of some sort. The centaur recalls that most common temples usually had storages of holy water and suspects this is where those priests who belonged here would keep some. (Untrained Knowledge: Religion check, rolled a 12)
The Battle Begins:
Kayuzo then moves as far as the north east hallway and finds himself being raked at by two claws from different directions, he deftly evades one but another rakes across his side (3 damage). As the centaur gets a better look at them, he notices that they are man-sized but not very human at all. Their body is a mass of dark hair and sickly gray flesh, and they possess contorted faces full of hate and anguish.
Kayuzo slices around with his scythe, and though the creature seems to be able to resist its wounds for a moment, he easily knocks one to the ground, its body dripping with black blood (rolled a 14 to hit, 21 damage - ?), the second one continues its assault, this time scoring a much more powerful attack to the centaur than the first. (Critical, 7 damage)

Balbanes moves into the room and stays against the wall he came in around. He will step to the side, and stand south-east of the pillar on the left side of the map. He taps it with his sword casually while briefly looking it over. Then he waves his blade in front of it. If everything seems fine he walks up past the pillars to the square north-east of the pillar.
As Balbanes passes the door from the entrance room into the main room, his sword pulses a gold-colored light, but it quickly fades as he passes. He taps the pillar, and it gives off a small, resounding sound, but nothing abnormal. He enters the north

Somewhere else within the temple...Darcis accompanies a tall, hooded figure with a troop of assorted creatures and monsters following the two. The anti-paladins eyes covered with a light glaze as he walks up towards a silver door. His sword begins to pulse with a faintly glowing silver light, and he lifts it up-causing the glow to fade...and the door to open. The hooded figure goes in first, followed by Darcis, and then the rest.
