The journey back to the Spire is safe and uneventful. Captain Merosska is waiting for the party as they arrive on the top of the tower.
"Ah, Savra!" he says with open arms. "I trust your trip went well?"
She nods. "Yes, my parents won't come looking for me. But we can't stay long."
He raises an eyebrow. "Really? Why not?"

"Oh, uh...Lady Savra told us about the problems you've been having with the Sacred Stone Monastery," Iroas says. "She has convinced us that they are worth investigating."

Captain Merosska frowns. "It is...concerning to me that you wish to leave so soon after arriving back..."
"If the monks really are evil cultists, we can't wait and let them commit atrocities behind our backs!" Savra retorts.
Thurl sighs. "Very well. I will permit it. But be cautious, and be back soon."
"Thank you, captain," she says with a bow.

"Worry not, we will do everything in our power to keep Lady Savra safe," Iroas promises.

Savra leads the party on their hippogriffs to their destination--a sprawling monastery with dark, narrow windows and red tile rooftops standing in the middle of a natural ampitheater, surrounded by sandstone cliffs. A weathered flight of stone steps leads up to the monastery doors, made of heavy timber with iron studs.
"How do we want to do this?" Savra asks.

"A good question," Iroas says, pondering. "My lady, to your knowledge, are the monks here as friendly as the knights? Do they hold the same animosity toward the knights as the knights do toward them?"

"We can just talk to them. Ask the monks. Yess?"

Braedon, Wolf Touched WarriorARMOR CLASS: 16 | HIT POINTS: 40 | CURRENT: 40 | HIT DIE: 4d10 | CURRENT: 4d10 PASSIVE PERCEPTION: 13 | PASSIVE INSIGHT: 12 | INSPIRATION: 1 Braedon shrugged as he dismounted the hippogryph, surveying the wide courtyard. "We could simply tell the truth, we came across two processions of monks and armed mercenaries from the region, and are trying to ensure that they cause no trouble for the locals." He rolled his shoulders, loosening his weapons in their scabbards, "And if the worst happens, we can be prepared, we would have had a chance to observe their monastery, but given that we've by hippogriff and likely been spotted, the rabbit is already out of the bag in that regard."

"I don't know," Savra admits. "They tend to stay cooped up in here, turning away any visitors."

"Do you think they are likely to turn us away, as well?" Iroas asks Savra.

"Hmm...most likely. But it'll be hard to tell if it's because they just don't like people, or if they're protecting their cult."

"Well, here goes nothing, I suppose," Iroas says. He dismounts from his hippogriff and begins ascending the stone stairs up to the entrance.
