This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The group was expected, of course. Small "foyer" leads into the empty square room, and from the door step Adray can see a lit torch, illuminating a human in a filthy black robe, that sent a projection of a green claw (you saw it before - in a bathhouse) straight towards Adray.
Attack: 21 Damage: 9
We are disregarding that attack, Cultists Initiative: 12
The claw hits - and cold pain strikes Adray's shoulder. At least one more shadow hides in the less illuminated corner. At first sign of the sickly green light from the claw and chanting words of Cultists, Klim with a weak cry curled in the farthest corner of the 3-door room and now quietly sobbing there.

Adray will level his spear and hook it at C1 and then as he moves into the room he will toss a wild swing at C2 and continue on to C1 unless the spear kills him.
Adray is out of the way, so Choir charges into the room, stopping south of C2 and whacking him with her warhammer!

Polly successfully performed shoot-and-scoot maneuver, hitting Cultist number 1, stupid enough to stand in front of the door. There was a small pause in the chant when cultist send a claw in Adray's direction: Attack: \10 Damage: 9 and that hiccup was enough for the spell to fizzle and die harmlessly.
Adray jumped into the room but spear attack did not reach either offenders. A good kick in the head, however, finished Cultist one ((I would assume Adray would try to kill an already wounded first)). Cultist 2 tried to reach Adray with his Skull Flail : \Attack: 14 Damage: 4 and proved, the mage should keep his distance.
If anything, Choir made a point to hammer that message even deeper in cultist's skull and Fran's daggers ended the last spark of life left in the bodies. In one big swoop the room was cleaned up. The party could safely look around - not that there was much to see: two dead bodies, a lit torch between them and a rough-hewn staircase to the left, that leads down to another torchlit chamber.
Fran would keep her distance in the doorway, but leave enough room for Ordrag to get by. She'd pull both daggers from her hips and one by one, she'd throw them to the cultist dead ahead (C1)
Fran would retrieve her daggers, wiping them off on their victim before reholstering them. "Everyone good?" She'd move to the stairs to stand lookout until the group was ready to proceed.
Choir peers curiously at the stairway, but supposes it's best to deal with Klim before checking them out.

Moving up to one of the cultists, Adray strips him of his outwear. Taking the clothes, he tosses them to Klim saying, "Put these on." After the man gets dressed he says, "You see what we're dealing? There's more of them and there may be more innocents trapped down here too. Our time is precious. Escorting you back to an inn could mean we miss out on saving others."
The guilt trip did not really work. Klim obediently put on a filthy black robe, probably scared of his rescuers as much as of cultists now, but did not move away immediately. He looked at the grey wet walls around with a stinky dark opening on one side and doors covered with Dead Three symbols on others. "You want me to go there?" Shaky finger was pointing at the east entrance.
The chamber, Fran and Choir were studying from the top of crumbling stairs, has partially collapsed around an open stone sarcophagus and lit with two torches on the walls . The lid of the sarcophagus was not dropped to the floor but moved aside, forming something like a table. On top of it there is a scroll and an obvious wand - as if someone was studying something and got interrupted.
Ordrag assumes that if a death cult is studying something inside a sarcophagus, it must be some kind of necromancy. He looks inside the sarcophagus to see what he can observe.
Studying - yes, necromancy - not necessarily (not that Ordrag could tell, though). It looks like sarcophagus (cultists did not even bother to clean it up from the dusty bones) was used as a storage space. Most likely for collecting things taken from the victims - some clothes (dirty and bloodied), a half empty canvas bag, and, wrapped in a torn robe three books, that even by Ordrag's eyes look way to serious to be just an entertaining reading.

Ordrag draws his two swords and prepares to beat up some more cultists. He follows behind Adray, ready to rush in.

Ordrag doesn't read all that much. He hands the books to one of the smart people (Fran or Polly, probably), then checks around the rest of the room.
