The hardest part is climbing back out of the monster's pit, but you manage. Backtracking, the noisiest thing along the path is the shambling of the prisoner train in tow. Upon breaching the surface, find your way back outside of the monastery. The air is clean and the sky is still somewhat bright, though it is well past noon now.Along the way, it's easy enough to find basic provisions in the kitchen and larder for the captives. The Knight Captain seems quite happy to see that you somehow managed to rescue everyone without garnering much additional notice.As you now stand on the steps of the entrance to the monastery, you feel something. A very soft rumbling of the earth. The tremor is barely noticable and subsides after only a few seconds.[sblock=Aridha]As the earth shakes, it is almost like a rumbling gravel-like voice echos through the ground. "All must return to the earth."[/sblock][sblock=Carradoc]A vision temporarily clouds the back of your mind, not even for a moment. Sand. Endless sand... falling like a waterfall... or like an hourglass. A large female figure, strong and pristine, made of rock, with gems for eyes stands behind the sands. "Beware the mountain that lives."[/sblock][sblock=Damien]During a single blink of your eyes, you see a thousand thousand eyes staring back in the darkness. It is instant and then gone. They take a million sizes and shapes, squirming and shimmering in the darkest black. This intrusion may or may not be noticed by your existing patron.[/sblock][sblock=Dent]The Knight Captain seems changed, if only a bit, by his experience. He seems just as eager to lead and give commands, but he also seems quite a bit distracted in between moments of clarity.[/sblock][sblock=Thaliss]As you surface, you see what appears to be one of the vulture-riding partisans off in the distance to the west, heading towards a tower in the clouds on a ridge.[/sblock][sblock=Tolan]Your wounds still ache, but the experience seems to have worked out in your favor. You feel even more hardy and tolerant today than you had at any point in the past.[/sblock]</blockquote>
