Tunnels below the Temple Ruin:
Sewer Vault.
Fawkes hurls both flasks, one soft cushions into the face of the Orc climbing up the ladder after Goran, the otherwise critical hit knocking him back down to the ground. The second flask breaks open upon hitting the harder floor, igniting from the loose spread of burning coals tipped from the brazier.
Goran adds more fuel to the fire which creates a temporary fiery barrier to the onrushing weasels to leap over. Behind you the Slave Lord Steward echoes a command among the thudding of inaccurate marksmanship.
"Hunt them down. If they escape take another hand from each."
Orcs: crossbow bolts [1d20]=7 [1d6+1]=4+1=5 [1d20]=11 [1d6+1]=6+1=7
With no further time to spare, the pair hot heel it themselves, fleeing down the passage. But where too next? Up stairs and back into the locked crypt or further into the unknown tunnels. As the passage is narrow and Goran climbs behind Fawkes, it might be the half-orc's turn to give direction unless you play more rock-paper-scissors.

Re: Where Angels fear to tread: Fawkes & Goran
Goran, pincushion
Goran says to Fawkes as he follows along, "I thought ya might be low on ammo, so I took one of theirs for ya." He tries to reach the quarrel in his back to give it to Fawkes.

Re: Where Angels fear to tread: Fawkes & Goran
Fawkes
Takes the quarrel, adding it to his bandolier and snapping the shafts of those that still stick in him. He will tend his wounds later.
"Let's grab their crossbows on the way." he says, taking one from the orc he killed in the passage.
Considering either crypt or passage he thinks of the spell effects still in place. "We could get caught up there, those guards might even be rescued now. Let's go straight ahead."

Goran will grab a crossbow from one of the downed orcs, any quarrels that remain, and quickly cut their purses and toss them in his backpack for later. If his halfling thief's eye sees anything else of note or value, he'll grab it too, but just to quickly toss in his pack.

Tunnels below the Temple Ruin.
Fawkes & Goran leak blood and sweat along the passage they flee down. They grab a light crossbow each, loading a bolt into the groove and pulling the string back to tense the trigger position. Then it is simply point and fire should the need arise.
That 'need' is hunting them down, the five adult Giant Weasels and remaining Orc guards from the vault. You hear the heavy clanging of booted feet sounded as the ladder is climbed, the chitter and squeaks of the predators who sniff the tunnel where you spied upon the Vault to get a taste for your scent and lick the blood droplets from your wounds to whet their appetites.
The tunnel runs in a narrow line about a hundred feet before opening into a well travelled passage of similar design that goes either Northwest or Southeast.
Tunnels: random encounter vs 1 [1d6]=3
This tunnel is not presently used and darkness and stale air are the only features your senses pick up.
Which way do you go?

Goran says ”Pick a wall and follow it?
Whichever way they go, Goran will throw a piece of bloody cloth down the other passage.
If he can manage it, he’ll wipe some sling bullets or coins in his blood and throw them even further down the passage not taken.
Goran watches for a spot where a halfling could hide, as well as thief of Fawkes’s size.
In particular something that might be above the ground floor, so they might get away from the scent trail or confuse it at least.
How high are the tunnels here, are there craggy spots where they might hide?

We need throw five weasels off our trail. Hide our scent. If there was a sewer moat, there must be more sewers. We need go find the city drains and hide in there.
I will opt for the most stinky passage direction hoping it leads to sewers not undead.

Tunnels below the Temple Ruin.
Dirt tunnels are dug from the soil, are hard packed, and are roofed by wooden planks. There are beams every 5’ft supporting the ceiling which is about 10'ft high. Most are slick with green mould and patches of iridescent fungus sparkle under any illumination. which I assume is from Goran's enchanted dagger, please remember to delete oil flasks and hurled items from inventories.
Given a choice between stinky way and stale air passage, stinky wins and the pair run to their right but not before Goran tries to deflect attention by smearing blood going in the other direction and hurling a couple of blood smeared slingstone into the dark.
Goran: distraction to throw off scent vs FRT skill [1d100-5]=38-5=33
It works giving a little more breathing space as the lead giant weasels pounce along and come into the adjoining passage. Scenting the blood, they head southwest, picking up the little splatters as the slingstone ricocheted along the tunnel. After a couple of rounds gnawing upon the stones, the chasing guards and weasels realise they have been duped and renew their hunt after the pair.
Fawkes and Goran sneak along in darkness, trusting in infravision to guide them as any illumination will surely be noticed by the hunting pack. You trek the dirt tunnel until it strangely opens into a stone walled passageway, signs of a proper construction. After a few yards there are some steps and firelight that streams in from a large chamber at the end.
Cautiously you approach the steps, mindful you have to hurry but cannot simply run headlong into the next danger. You can peek around the corner and see a large chamber that contains a number of barred cells. This broad, long room is filled with two rows of cages, whose bars reach from floor to ceiling. Each has a door with a heavy locking mechanism in it. On the floor of the cells are straw and wooden bowls. Each cell holds a man or a woman, although each could hold more. Strolling down the central corridor between the cages are three well dressed humans and five well armed Orcs. They stop at the cages , inspecting the poor souls kept captive, telling them to stand up and parade around that their worth might be valued.
You spy other guards too who walk on patrol, rattling bars to taunt the captives with the shafts of halberds and routinely checking the cage is still securely locked.
The room is about 35'ft by 80'ft with two rows of cages, numbering more than a score of cells and you can see against the east wall are two closed doors.
Goran recovers a little from his temporary coshing.

Re: Where Angels fear to tread: Fawkes & Goran
Fawkes
It doesn't look good to try and sneak through the Slave Cells area. Too many guards and with us being wounded and bleeding, it'll be hard to blag being a slave merchant.
I could try a ruse of being a guard and that I have found escaped prisoner Goran but that just means he has to surrender his weapons and stuff his skeleton keys up his secret place ...
So, I don't know, between a rock and a hard place. Concerned too by the chasing pack. I think we need prepare for them. Hope to go down fighting or trust the guards take us prisoner
"Goran you mentioned your healing potion. Best use it if you have not yet done so. We will need all the mercies I think."
I will go back to where the solid passage has a corner, it might give me part cover and protection. Aiming at the first weasel coming through that runs at my along the straight bit of passage.
this is where a lightening bolt would be useful.

With the healing potion long gone, Goran pulls his leather up around his neck.
He stuffs whatever he can fit in his backpack, his sling in with his bullets on his belt, and then swallows his luckstone with a grimace.
"Can't talk to weasels. One bite and I'm dead. Take my backpack.
"Let's try for one of those doors in the room quietly.
"If we don't make it take my dagger and throw me in a cage like you just caught me.
"The further away from those weasels the better."

Resists temptation to use that roll to shaft Goran and try to blag I caught him. That would be too Orcish and my better nature decides to stick together. "Soft steps, like walking on rice paper." he whispers.

Tunnels below the Temple Ruin.
Slave Market.
With their only hope being a forlorn hope and no hope, Goran tries to slink unseen and unheard.
He fails of course before he can get a pace beyond the steps into the well-lit hall. A guard in the far left corner of the room rounds the cages and sees the hooded and veiled Halfling emerge from the passage, trying to creep along in back-to-the-wall fashion but he just makes himself a slow moving, spread eagled target.
"Hey, we have an intruder or an escapee!" the Orc guard growls and levels his crossbow at Goran. -3hp, adding another piercing shaft to his collection of wounds.
Orcs: light crossbow bolts [1d20]=19 [1d6+1]=2+1=3
Fawkes can retort, adding a suppressive bolt of his own which nails the guard -4hp.. He keels over clutching his chest.
Any hope for a covert sneak has well and truly gone. As the guard collapses, the nearby slaves-for-sale rise to bash and rattle metal plates upon the cellar bars, goading the guards. The Merchant inspecting wares is suddenly whisked away, his barbarian looking bodyguard drawing her wicked, double-ax battleaxe to protect her charge. The accompanying Orcs shield the second buyer from any harm, retreating slowly up the middle aisle. Several Orc guards come running around the cages to flank Goran from the north passage between cells and doors or from the west side by the fallen guard. Advancing into the room looks suicidal, but your
retreat back down the steps provides some cover but no exit. Especially as the sound of chittering and neeping echoes with alarming speed from out of the earth tunnel.

The Half-orc and beast clash as other furry predators close in behind. In the fury it feels as though the dark walls of death close in and the coffer slab closing over your tomb is slid in place.

The ferocious Giant Weasel slams into Fawkes, forcing him harshly even further to press against the back wall. The pressure is enough to rotate the concealed portal around in a circular 180° anti-clockwise motion. It takes weasel and Half-orc around to the other side, into a part of the city sewer network where you continue to wrestle tooth and claw and club together.This secret door is a stone slab that pivots around a vertical axis, and is thus hidden from both directions. It is activated by a large mass (such as a human body) striking the 10’ wide slab within 3’ of either edge. The slab will pivot in either direction.

The Luckstone seems to still work its magic as both predators fail to latch fangs upon him and he dodges away, his nimble Move Silently check sufficient for him to shoulder barge upon the concealed door and force himself through.
Fawkes critically hits the Giant Weasel -12hp, the attack is savage and before the predator can respond, Goran's escape pivots the door and sweeps the Weasel back to the other side. Temporarily, both protagonists are separated by the rotating door.
Fawkes 5/17hp
Goran 4/16hp.
