It looks like they came down the back end, and killed the main guy in charge, but they still have a while complex to worry about. Alzar charms an orc, and tells him to tell everyone that there was an orc rebellion against the head guy, and they each killed each other. Then they sneak back out, and meet the ship, and stay on it for a day, healing some and regaining spells and dropping off what they found.
The following day, they land again, and enter the same way. They find no one going back the way, and the corpses have all been taken. Alzar finds the five ghouls here waiting on him, having been made into ghouls by ones he already controlled, so now he has a pack of 6 again.
They see, out of a door in the stoneworkers, that there are main doors to the temple. Due to its collapses, they could not get from one side to the other, but they can sneak over and get to the other side of the ruins. Alzar orders his undead to spring out and sprint over to the main courtyard inside, and then they follow, and everybody enters at once.
Inside are 10 orcs at various places, and they grab weapons and cry for more help. There are tables tossed over and made into barricades, and four doors around the courtyard. There is a cart here that several run behind and start turning. There are a mantlet and torch on the cart, and it cannot be cut down from here. There are large bellows connected to a barrel behind them, right in front of the torch, and right in front of the opening of the mantlet.
He orders the ghouls into the orcs to the left. They tear through the three orcs here. Four more fire crossbows from behind a table to the rear and one hits a ghoul for 1 damage.
Out comes a man in shiny armor and with a shiny weapon and he takes command from the east. Another man emerges from a door to the west with a crossbow up and fires at the wight who takes 5 damage from a silver bolt.
Now that is a new threat. Alzar wins init. Dryshik Mist Balls the new threat. He makes his save. Alzar orders Aleigha to block him, and she moves towards him this round. Estaish is ordered to take out the man giving orders, and he moves there. Alzar’s dagger flies out and buries itself in the mantlet.
