Zavenorrin the Elf tries to be as quiet as possible sneaking through the tall grasses, and makes his way around the perimeter of the squat black Temple complex. The Temple is roughly 80' long x 40' wide. The rest of the party stands guard near the front entrance. They get a closer look at the verdigris covered double doors. Oddly, there does not appear to be any handles on the doors, and faint runes can be made out.
Around the east side you see a small paned green stained glass window high up. Around the back you see a dark wood door secured by a thick chain and a large brass padlock. The croaking sounds of nearby frogs continues, as does the intermittent breeze.
DM rolls:
Zavenorrin, 4
Monsters, 3
Neither party is surprised.
Zavenorrin the Elf sees coming from further behind the Temple, from out of the tall grasses and brambles, a couple large (6'-7') pale yellow Giant Toads taking giant bounds towards him. The closest one is 20' away and a bulbous bone white tongue protrudes from it's toothy maw. You catch glimpses of other Toads advancing behind them.
Next I will roll round 1 initiative, what are your actions? (The bulk of the party is 90' from Zavenorrin at this point, and can make any actions assuming he yells out or you hear a commotion, but some movement would be necessary as this is going on behind the building)
Let the red dawn surmise
What we shall do,
When this blue starlight dies
