How many commoners (aka sword fodder) are there in the Hextorian section of the temple in TFoE? The petitioners hoping to join the order. I've been searching and the adventure doesn't seem to have a numer listed for them. Am I just missing it? If not, any suggestions as to how many I should have? I'm thinking 10-12.
I used nine level 1 commoners wearing padded leather and wielding longspears. They set against charge with a readied action and used aid another if PCs advanced, trying to hedge the PCs in the first room with the skeletons. They showed a fanatical sense of determination and some organization, even though they clearly lacked the mettle of true warriors.
They didn't last long. ;)
Once they were killed, The Beast made its appearance while the tieflings backed off and regrouped with the clerics.
As the tieflings died, the clerics managed to double-back and escape to the elevator. Once they reached the top, the clerics severed the chain using acid taken from the black pool. Things got interesting at that point. ;)

Thanks. That helps.
