Rich picks up the shield and axe from the fallen warrior, grabs any rings, necklaces amulets he may have as well. Slides the axe into his belt and draws his sword. Moves to the door and listens.
Rich, guessing he heard nothing at the door will step out of Norb's way as he opens it, and watches as everyone files out of the room, he'll bring up the rear keeping an eye out behind us as we go somewhere.
As you walk out of the door, you see seemingly innocent and unknowing priests gaping at your bloody clothes and weapons, as well as the bodies laying in the room behind you. You fail to spot father Elnezar in the bustling hallway. What do you do?
Gurog announces to the gathering crowd of priests, these false priests attacked us unprovoked, they are no brothers of yours. Father Elnezar has let snakes in amongst your garden. Where has he gone? We need to speak with him at once.
Korath stepped forward, raising a hand to calm the murmurs spreading through the crowd. His voice, though firm, carried a tone of reassurance as he spoke. "What he says is true. These men attacked without warning, hiding their dark intentions behind robes of faith."
"We are here to protect you, to root out corruption in your midst. Father Elnezar must answer for this. Trust us, as we trust the light to reveal the truth. No harm will come to those who walk the righteous path."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

I step up beside the two men and add "We believe that they are either connected to or have information about the giant which fell from the sky. The mayor sent us here to merely ask questions, and those men attacked us without cause. They bore a symbol with wings as an emblem. We came here in peace, and still desire peace. Do you know anything that can help us?" Persuasion +2 6
The brooding half-elf watches the other priests with a critical eye, trying to see if any traitors remain hidden among them... (Insight: 9) But Zinlynn had not trusted religious people for such a long time that they all looked a little sketchy to her!
Norberos feels uneasy with all this talk about rooting out snakes, the light, and paths of righteousness he says to no one in particular ".....I claim to bring peace, yet blood I have spilled, In my name, many are unjustly killed. What am I, wielded by both love and hate, Twisting hearts, deciding fate.....This is not my way...."
Korath feels a little weirded out by the silent priests, casting a glance at the others before heading for the indicated door. He pauses before it momentarily to try to listen for any sounds inside. Perception 16
Rich is focused on the wooden door as the party makes it's way, stay alert, this guy will more than likely have some potent magic, this may be a very different fight than what we just had.

The man carries nothing but the axe
They are wearing simple leathers with the winged symbol on the chest piece. Their blades are simplistic scimitars.
Korath moves to head inside the door Norb has opened, gripping his shield and warhammer in case they run into more threats. Perception 11
Gurog follows after Korath, entering the next room
Rich, guessing he heard nothing at the door will step out of Norb's way as he opens it, and watches as everyone files out of the room, he'll bring up the rear keeping an eye out behind us as we go somewhere.
Aymar will follow the group still gripping his club tight, breathing heavily.
Tharra Quofinas and Unam the Unseen
They both follow the large, armed men into the next room, keeping to the middle of the formation.

Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?

OOC - justice?
(Good guess, but no)
ooc: Religion?
(yep)
The priests all solemnly point to a wooden door down the hall, and then turn to watch you as you walk on,
