No. They must be inside the temple proper.

‘I suggest we hold back while Mav quickly scouts ahead. We’re not a quiet group…’ Orvok says, looking at Hino pointedly. ‘We can then see if we can get any Grippli free before the fighting starts…’

Hino whispers "Boooooorrrrrrrrrring...." as she leans against a tree and rests and relaxes while Mav scouts ahead.

Isa stands there and waits patiently as Mav goes ahead and scouts.  She makes sure to keep her distance from Flynt and hangs closer to Orvok and Barbar.  

Mav will try to sneak up to take a peek inside the temple 

[Stealth: 30]

while we have a moment, is anyone feeling worse for wear? I can give a bit of vitality back if you need it.

Isa looks at Barbar, "I could use a bit of that" she says "That first group of Yuan-Ti hit me pretty hard"

Well you did get a few hits in, yourself. Cant have ya bleeding out... He trails off as he mumbles doing some field-medic type work and also casts in a cure at 3rd.

I just hope Mavshoon can stay hidden long enough for one of us to tend to him...

---- The dice hate me ----

"Thanks Barbar, that does help a bit!"

Mav: The upper court of the temple has been completely cleared of debris. Six pillars support the ten-foot-high ceiling, and the northern half of the enclosed area is bathed in bright light, making it easy for you to see the horrific scene playing out in the far end of the room. 

Lashed to a makeshift altar are two good yuan-ti. They are being tortured by an evil yuan-ti abomination that is presiding over a ritual. An enormous sarcophagus rests behind them, its exterior carved with serpents. Two evil yuan-ti malisons are positioned on either side of it. One carries a lantern that is the source of the illumination, and the other one is holding up a chime and preparing to strike it. The evil yuan-ti abomination is studying the script on the sarcophagus intently, engrossed in what it sees. At a gesture from the abomination, the chime is struck. As it rings out, the seam around the lid of the sarcophagus glows brightly for an instant. Then the sarcophagus comes open partway, and the bound prisoners howl in agony.

Something terrible is happening here.

I go right back to the party - I point Hino toward the temple and say "Kill the big one....quickly"

then I explain to the rest of the party what I saw 

Before any attacks are made, stealth checks should happen first against insight rolls. Do not just post an attack. Thanks.

Orvok starts moving, praying to Clangeddin he doesn’t mess up. (Just for flavour - don’t want to lose magic weapon!)
