Aram sees that the next chamber is bare of all decoration. Against the walls are 4 chests. The first two chests are open and the contents (robes, slippers, and undergarments) are scattered on the floor in front of them. The other two chests are closed.
Suddenly you all hear a faint scraping sound, that seems to come from outside the temple. Perhaps the gate to the temple courtyard is opening.

ooc: The pillars are too thin to hide behind and are not shown on the map. I think it's best to ignore them.
Girgal, Bevin, and Aram take up positions behind the wall with the archway, concealed from whoever might enter the main doorway. However, Aram's everburning torch is still uncovered and its light is a bit of a giveaway.
Eerie moans and screams reveal that someone has entered the temple foyer and is treading on the tiles. There is light spilling through the archway, indicating that the newcomer carries a light.
"Who's there?" A man's voice inquires loudly.
ooc: At this point we will begin using combat-style rounds. The party has one round to react before the newcomer acts again.

Aram frowns as the man speaks, obviously seeing the light from his torch. Still, maybe they could maintain some element of surprise. The dervish gestures to Bevin and Girgal to remain where they are, and then he bolts south, letting the man to the north of the archway catch just a glimpse of him as he darts across the room and into the cloak room to the south.
Move 40' to stand next to Father Fuller.
And I guess I'll need to be more careful next time around and hide the light source too.

Girgal stays put as well.
Fido vanishes.
Aram glimpses the newcomer while withdrawing into the next room. The man is covered in armor - full plate, and carries a shield and a drawn bastard sword.
As Aram enters the room with his torch, Father Fuller can see the chests more clearly. This is where he used to prepare his outfit for services, and the robes and such look familiar. Unless the bhuts would have removed it, there could be a holy symbol or two among the clothing.
ooc: Fuller to act.
