You won't get surprise, as they heard some of the scuffle with the abomination, but I'll give you a bonus (or rather them a penalty) on initiative for you yanking the door open and rushing them without warning.
There are two Silver Chain guards, and a trained hyena. They're all flatfooted, and the hyena appears to be looking elsewhere. Maybe at it's food bowl that has remained empty despite it's best whining pleas. These like the others have punching daggers, hand crossbows, and very nice sets of leather armor.
Iseret goes first, and then them.

Iseret dashes in and, catching them flatfooted, nearly fells one of them with a devastating attack.
The wouldn't one withdraws, his wounds too grebious, but the other recovers quickly and retaliates. His punching daggers slips into action with similar deadly precision as Iseret has.
Jaware fires two arrows just after Iseret leaks into action, and targets the hyena, but doesn't do much damage.
The hyena bites at the lithe rogue... But misses.
Tabat, Khadi and then Iseret are up.

The second guard looks like he will bolt, and the hyena won't be a threat, so let's end combat there.
Do you chase the guards down? They might have magic armor.

Tabat helps relieve the men of anything that make benefit them in the short term should they awake and free themselves from their bindings, which he himself secures using rope.
He searches the room otherwise, standing upon the platform and taking a lot around. "Seems like a good place to run a smuggling outfit," Tabat mentions, "We'll have to make sure the authorities are aware of this place, or even if the Silver Chain is removed, others will come in here to start illicit activity."

Going back the other way, past the entrance way where you had the brush with a pit trap, you take the eastern doors, and find a wide, irregularly shaped room. Four stone wells fill much of the otherwise unremarkable room. Disassembled mechanical remains like scattered around plumbing connections int he southeast corner.
At the bottom of one of the 30-foot deep wells lies a familiar figure, Ptemenib the priest. The nosia Qasin flaps down to him. "He's wounded! And he's tied up!"
Qasin

Tabat scans the room carefully as they enter. "This smells like a trap," he says warily. "We haven't ran into their boss yet. Let's be careful."
"Qasin, just a moment, we'll see how to get your friend out of there."
Tabat, spear in hand, heads to the mechanical remains in the corner to poke around and look for anything dangerous.

The pump in the corner seems to be used to fill the cisterns with water. Reviewing it all, you find no traps, and simply need some way to retrieve the priest from the bottom of the pit. He's clearly beaten within an inch of death, so you won't have a lot of time.
May 30, 2023 3:04 am
Tabat goes to the edge of the hole. "Ptemenib, can you hear me?! We're here to rescue you. Your friend, Qasin is with us." he shouts down the well. If the man responds, he lays out the following plan: "I'll lower a rope tied to a pouch. Inside you'll find a healing potion - drink that to give yourself some strength, then we'll use the rope to get you out!"
OOC:
Tabat will donate his potion of CLW for this endeavor.Last edited May 30, 2023 3:05 am

'.. My energy might just reach him, if I lean in. If he's not responsive the potion will be little help.. Even better lower me down to him. You' re strong enough right A cheeky grin flashes in her face before it settle back to worried as she looks down at the state of the priest.
'I need to be able to look him over.'

Tabat nods. "If the three of us get the other end of the rope, we can get you down to him, surely. It's the getting him back up if he's not conscious that could be a problem." He listens for a response from the man.

Qasin manages the potion, and uses her talons and beak to get that potion into him. He swallows reflexively and then wakes.
Following that, he's able to hang onto a rope and you're able to pull him out of the hole.
Sipping water from Jaware's flask, he thanks you and says, "Most of the Silver Chain’s members superstitiously believe that killing a cleric of Pharasma will doom them to a lifetime of bad luck, and thus far, Ekram has humored them. Beaten, bound, and deprived of my holy symbol I couldn't use magic to heal my wounds."

"There, there, you'll be alright," Tabat says, gently patting the man's back. "Do you have any idea where they went? We ran into a couple of the men, but haven't seen any of your things or the any sign of the Silver Chain's leader."

He points at the next room, whispering, "I think he's in there." He also whispers that he thinks Ekram Iffek is alone, and not a spellcaster.
