Well, what I actually ended up doing was this: first time I went to the Temple, I snuck up into the corner and grabbed the stone from the alcove. I was never spotted, so no fight. BUT, I wanted to get into the basement and get all the available goodies possible, so I made sure all my group had eye-for-eye on, I had my mage cast all the protection spells, and then I stepped into the door. I let them spot me and waited for a couple to advance to end round 1. Then I chose to run for round 2...not far, but just to the edge of the door out of sight of the baddies. Several of them cast summon elemental, but they are so big that within a round or two, they were coming out the door in a single file line. I took them on one at a time. I also had cast death cloud and some of the spellcasters had died before I ever had to fight them. After that, I just cleaned up the goodies on the main level and went for the basement. The mummies down there were not much of a challenge and the seord Fang turned out to be pretty decent.
