There are lots of ornate statues everywhere.  It is pretty busy because everyone comes here to pray. There are colorful pieces of cloth tied randomly everywhere.  There is also a huge statue in the middle that everyone is gathered around to pray.

a cowardly guard nervously awaiting an attack
I'm afraid they are coming up the stairs. Why couldn't they go the other way?!? I can't fight! I'm going to run!
Don't just stand there. They're coming for us. We have to hide! Get a hold of yourself, man!  You're in the Temple of the Warrior God himself, have some pride! Pride is not going to keep arrows from slicing through my liver. Why are you attacking me? we I thought a good smack across the face might bring you to your senses, but clearly not.  There, there, now let's  at least prepare as best we can.  How many did you see? At least 20 possibly 1000, I'm not sure. Math has never been my strong suit. Are you sure you didn't hit your head coming in?  No, nevermind, there's no time.  We have to find something to brace the door with! Now who has hit their head? Is that the best you have? A piece of cloth.  We're all gonna die. Oh stop snivelling and help me with this!  This cloth was a special gift given at the founding of the temple and is stronger than mithril.  If we can find tie it up across the door it will keep them at bay. That sounds completely ludicrous but I'll help. How will we know if it is working? When it glows a golden color, it will have activated.  I think I remember the words to the spell...  Here, grab this end here and stand on the opposite side of the door. Okay, let's hurry. I here them getting closer. Spit out the words you fool. I want to see this thing glowing as brightly as the sun. Placere convertam antequam adepto vetus aurum deponuntur. Ut bene sit ut defendat, hanc magicis caput egit honestum!  Ah look, the gold, it's spreading out!  Hold on, soldier, we've got this!
