Real activates his Spidy sense (divine sense) To know if bad types are close. He will pull Clay back from the pocket domain and send her to fly above the water near the boat to see if she can see anything unusual. "I would be happy to carry one of those hour glass items in my magic bag. As Our friend says, it helps to spread the power."
You do not detect anything within the area of the sense.
"Name's Saralyssa." The gnome says as she picks up one of the hourglasses and stows it away. She leaves the other two as she moves out of the circle and towards the path down to the dock.
Real will take one of the hourglass items and put it in his bag.
If Real can see the path to the boat he will walk to it. His divine sense is still active until the end of his turn. "Someone with skills greater than mine should inspect this boat to make sure it isn't a trap or such. I will let Clay, the owl, continue to inspect the surface of the water trying to determine if anything is amiss within. I assume we will want to use this to cross these waters but I also assume there are dangers hidden beneath." Clay continues to inspect the water around the boat.

Nothing seems amiss in the water, other than it glows slightly.
Upon arrival, Tyrkoris will cast light on his staff and then move towards the boat, "I am Tyrkoris Dawnbringer of the Morninglords of Lathander, it is a pleasure to stand with all of you." As he glances over the boat, he will kneel down about 10 feet away and begin praying to Lathander for about 10 minutes asking if the boat is safe to travel on, at the end of which he will cast gem inlaid sticks of ivory upon the ground, examining them closely to see the results. (Augury ritual casted.)
Real is completely fascinated with Tyrkoris as he prays and cast the ivory. "I know many tricks my friend but this one is new to me. My name is Real Domdogan recent defender of the Elven lands of Captaniloys. It is a pleasure to stand with you as well."
Iorythas stowed the last in his own magical bag, closing it quickly before he made sure to carefully shoulder his bow since they had yet to run into anything hostile. As the others of this new group gave their names. "I am called Iorythas. I come from a place called Chult." He told them as he gave each a once over to see if the name of his Homeland was known by them.
Taking a moment to appreciate his surroundings. Ralph bounces in his toes a bit and looks out into the water. Taking a deep breath in through his nostrils he says “Ahhh, at least I get to smell that one more time. Not quite like home, but a cave is a cave.” Walking towards the boat “Looks like we are heading that way, yeah?” As he points across the lake to the temple.
Ralph looks over the boat to ensure it will take the weight of everyone.
"I had a companion from the place. He was a human born to one of the noble houses. For some reason that eluded me he apparently left due to being the second born." Iorythas says as he nods to the gnome.
A large bell stands by the jetty and a rowboat is tied up to its moorings. A human wearing robes embroidered with the scroll symbol of Oghma lies dead in the boat with a deep gash across his chest.
Even as you are taking in this fact...
As you approach the jetty a slash of bright purple light rips through a stretch of air above the lake some 300 ft. away from the party.
Moments later, four or five humanoid creatures emerge from the rip and float above the water, heading for the temple.

Lot's of stuff ...

"I know of your land." Saralyssa nods. "I am from Waterdeep to the North a ways."

Bjorn follows the others down the path to the boat, keeping a lookout behind the group to see if they are being followed. Perception 7
As you all reach the dock...
A large bell stands by the jetty and a rowboat is tied up to its moorings. A human wearing robes embroidered with the scroll symbol of Oghma lies dead in the boat with a deep gash across his chest.

Everyone give me a perception check...
Saralyssa: 11
Iorythas: 27
You can definitely tell the figures are mind flayer
Perception: 8
“You guys think this bell still works?”
Perception: 20
Real ducks and looks at Ralph and whispers "Be careful, we seem to have company, at least at a distance." He points across the lake.
Lot's of stuff ...
Perception: 15
Seeing the figures, Tyrkoris will put away his sticks and look to the others, "Do any of you know how to get this boat to move?"
You recognize them as mind flayer
"Prepare yourselves for a fight." Iorythas says in a whisper as he draws his bow, moving to lower himself into a crouch as he knocks an arrow.
Since he isn’t able to see the threat at hand, Ralph gets to work getting the boat ready.
