Kaburi said it was okay to just use the Prayer of Healing from earlier, since we're short resting anyway. I'm re-posting to make it clear it happens now. If the Prayer of Healing doesn't put you up to max, use a hit die now.
Reed stands from saving Strathalmere looks around at his companions, all of whom were affected by the scream. He kneels and whispers an incantation that goes on for what seems like a long time, then gestures to all his companions, and blue healing energy shoots out to encompass them all.
Based on the roll from this post, everyone regains 14 HP!
Standing up and looking around, Reed checks on his companions. "How is everyone doing now?"
Strathalmere look's up from where he fell. "How the hell do you think I feel?" I then stagger over to a corner and collapse agan and call Stardfall over. "When can we return to our swamp?" I mutter under my breath to Starfall.

And since Jay is healing us, we don't particularly need to heal up, right? My character sheet has me at full HP, which doesn't seem correct. kaburi, can you confirm?

Some people took damage during this last fight, they might need more healing that my spell just gave.
"Okay, it looks like everyone is up. I think it's time to find out just what the hell is going on behind that door. Anyone have a plan, or should we just charge in? There is just the one entrance, and they likely know we're here."
Reed made it sound like just charging in was probably a bad idea, but he doesn't have anything better to suggest.
I gingerly rise from my corner and wander to the side of the door opposite Reed with Starfall. "Soonest started, soonest over. And I really want to put a couple of arrows through the eyes of whoever did that us." I then glance over to Korvat and Emeryn, "You two want to head in first, I'll then find a suitable place to cover you from." I the glance over to Reed with a wry smile, "Hopefully you won't have to heal us again down here. I wouldn't be surprised if those Death dogs and Gricks we ignored died due to whatever that was."

There's not really a door. This is all taking place in rooms 14 and 15 on the map. The red-ish indicator on the map shows where the boss is at the start of the fight.
You enter the grand sanctuary of the temple. The room is littered with the bodies of dead cultists. Some died fighting you, but most died in agony, victims of the psychic assault you all endured. Despite being located under a mountain, the room is surprisingly warm. The fourteen corpses, combined with the heat in the room, create a terrible miasma of death. Behind the lecturn, in the altar space, you hear continued chanting. As you approach the altar (room 15), the heat grows more intense.
In the altar, the sacred heart of the temple, you are greeted with a stunning blasphemy. The altar itself has been destroyed. In the stone of the floor, an elaborate series of runes and circles, approximately 10 feet across, have been carved. At equal points around the circle, five cultists stand. As you approach the ceremony, the chanting reaches a crescendo, and each cultist pours a vial of silvery liquid into the runes carved into the floor. Reed and Emeryn recognize this substance--the blood of a celestial being. A corpse lies in the center of the carvings. With alabaster skin, long dark hair, and two feathered wings now broken and bent at unnatural angles, it can only be one of Arawan's angels. The angel is curled protectively around a smaller figure: the corpse a human child, no more than four or five years old.
As the angel's blood fills the runes, a swirling storm of silver liquid begins to rage within the circle, seemingly contained by whatever binding spell is woven into the ritual. The cultists being to spasm, a white mist being drawn from their eyes and mouths into the storm, then collapse, dead. With an indescribable sound, the very fabric of reality is torn asunder. Heat boils out from the eye of the storm.
A figure steps out from behind the altar, surveying his work. He is human, though taller than any human you've seen before. His skin is pale, his grey eyes sunken. His long black hair is tied back with a silver chain. He wears a black robe trimmed in silver filigree, and leans on a tall ebony staff. He wears two pendants around his neck--one, the skull and spider of Arawan's death priests; the other, a broken sword wrapped in chains. None of you recognize this symbol.
"I take it from your presence the gods aren't as blind as I'd hoped," he says. "Ah, well. Life gives you lemons, and all that."

"You sure it is the Gods that brought us here?" I mutter to myself. I then circle round to the left to give us a clear shot whilst drawing my longbow and nocking one of the red arrows.

Reed stares at the scene before him in anger, taking in the Arawan symbol on the cult leader.
H quips at the cult leader "That's more than enough from you, apostate. Keep him contained, friends! He wears the symbol of a priest."
Reed incants a spell and makes the motions, then, with a snap of his fingers inaudible to those inside the room, a veil of silence descends. Then, Reed steps around the corner.
I cast Silence, centered on the room as much as possible, but without leave the cult leader a 'pocket' of audibility nearby. I position myself in cover at the northern corner of entryway, so that I have clear sight lines to the cult leader but I'm both outside the range of silence and harder for him to see or hit.
