Confrontation!
You move down, quietly, to the statue room. The only illumination from Dieter's rod.
As you round the corner you see a group of six cultists moving in from the passage east. They are sneaking forward themselves.
ROLL surprise. d6, d6, 4, 2, neither group is surprised.
They look at you with sneers across their faces, their long swords in their hands as they prepare to engage!
Actions?
