Its correct, but theres no reason at all you wouldn't turn "they" into "they'd" to omit the awkward second "had"

The second "had" is unnecessary.Depending on what you're saying. If they just walked in the room looking all singed and worn out, and everyone is staring, and you happen to know they just fought a lava monster and decide to inform your companions, then yes, you would only use one had. If you were the narrator, and the story takes place in the past, and you were informing the audience about their scuffle with the lava monster, then you would use both. --- 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 ...
