The interior of the temple is infested with many different enemies, such as packs of goblins, giant spiders, and facehuggers, which look like floating octopi. Oh yeah, and there's a cyclops and the aforementioned pao-kai dragon, as well. Again, one of the themes of the game is that there are many ways to deal with your foes. You can use your sword to kill most of them, but it can be rewarding (and satisfying) to get creative with the options available to you. You can kick enemies into a bed of spikes, collapse a wall onto them, or use the aforementioned elven bow (or the freeze spell) to create a patch of ice upon which they slip, and then you can finish them off by plunging your sword into their chests. A good way to dispatch goblins, for instance, is to use the leaping attack, which causes you to jump toward them and bring the sword down in a powerful downward stroke, resulting in an instant kill.
