'Three dead,' muses as he entered the kitchen, he drops the nub and unslings his battle axe, using it as a probe before him; if something jumped at him, they would have to bypass the axe's blades to get at him. Wand at ready, he moves to the kitchen door to the temple's worship chamber.

Climbing over the dead Hound he uses the axe to push open the cellar door. and in the circle of his C LIGHT beginning a foot away is yet another hound splayed motionless on the floor near the burnt out doorway out of the kitchen.

Narrhil ponders why the fourth hound would wait above and close the door behind the 3 hounds that descended.
Plain as day on the floor of the sanctuary between the remaining unmoved pews lay a fifth dead hound in the thin layer of snow and ice.
