Sumber Hills, Day 7 Early evening
After some discussion the party head back to Redlarch to hand over the two prisoners. The reaver fights his bonds continuously and arrives back at Red Larch exhausted and bleeding. Haberk is found in his butchers shop, having a better time of dealing with the crisis with his wife, Jalessa's, help. Her head is clearly much more suited to politics. "Banditry hey? Folk 'ere don' much like bandits...likely be the noose for 'em. Most folks would'n' even bother bringin' 'em back. 'spose it makes for better justice. I'd offer a reward, but we ain't got squat aat the now." At the mention of a possible spy, Haberk looks worried, like things are slipping nearer to disaster, "Damn! Jus' as we was gettin' things back ta normal. Well, he'll be hard ta flush out, lotsa folks commin and goin all the time from 'ere - migrant worker, caravan drivers an' guards, travelers..." He thinks for a minute and then adds, "I'll try ta keep it quite and get Jalessa ta look inta it while you is out."
Wanting to make use of the day the party heads straight back out. After leaving the road, you head east towards where the Sacred Stone Monastery should be. As you travel along you get an occasional whiff of acrid smoke, if you could see a smokey pillar on the horizon you'd say that a town or village had recently been razed. With nothing more to guide you, you continue east, almost to the river until you realise you are follow a old, faded path. The path leads you towards a valley, with the sides getting ever steeper, until you can see up ahead that the path leads along the bottom of a steep sided ravine. Wherever it leads, solitude was clearly the goal. While the bottom of the path would be vulnerable to attack from the top, there is little to indicate the cliff tops were ever fortified to keep out intruders.

"Good spot for an ambush here, shooting down into the ravine. Let's explore along the top before we walk along the ravine, shall we?"
Ilvellios expects the elderly Duran to put up some resistance to hiking up a hill side, so before he can object, the monk briskly starts to bound up one side with the grace of a mountain goat.

Duran groans and tags along he was to old for this.

Sacred Stone Monastery, Day 7, Early evening
You follow the clifftop of trail. Eventually the walls draw in so closely that you could leap across with little fear, but then the narrow space opens into a hidden canyon in the heart of the hills. A sprawling monastery with dark, narrow windows and red tile rooftops stands in the middle of this natural amphitheater, ringed by sandstone cliffs all around. A dusty footpath circles the building.
A weathered flight of stone steps leads up to the closed monastery doors. The plain doors are made of heavy timber with iron studs. A small door, perhaps a servants' entrance, is on the northwest side of the monastery. On the northeast side, a low wall encloses a unkempt garden with a gate. The eastern portion of the monastery is in very poor repair—the walls there are crumbling, and the windows have been bricked up with old masonry. A small side door is near that section, in the southeast portion of the building. The rest of the monastery appears to have received some recent repairs.
As you scout the clifftop you see little sign of activity at the top, they seem to rely on isolation and solitude for defense. Below, the dusty footpath does seem to have regular use, but currently there is no one outside.

"So what's the play? We pretend to be converts, servants? Kick the door in screaming?"

"Converts, but let me do the talking at first," says Nariah, her features shifting to that of a stern Shou woman.
