Wen would point out the one of the points of concealment close to the Abbey. "Let's us make for that one." Then wave to the others in the camp to come take this spot at the crag. "I want to be close enough to use magic should it be needed." With that Wen would carefully make his way down towards the new place of concealment.

"It looks like they got inside." Olaf whispers to the elf, "So, should we stay here and keep watch for any movement inside, or do you think we should go over the wall and see what's what?"

"I'm leaning toward waiting for a short while, and then if nothing is happening down below, going over the wall." Olaf says after a short pause.

Josiane follows the Sister, but at all times she is looking out for any sign of anything out of the ordinary, anything that indicates past violence or present deceit...

Ulric gives Gustave a quick wink as he sees the fighting man staring at him. But something was not quite right about the nun's response. Was she toying with him?

"Thank you good sister," Ulric says, "yes, let us make our way to the infirmary. I fear for our comrades life."

As he follows the nun, Ulric marks the position of any other doors they pass and keeps an eye out for the other nuns and any signs of a past struggle.

"You and I are the 'aces in the hole,'" Highbough whispers (alluding to an ancient Elf card game) "so let's stay hidden until we are needed," he encourages Olaf.

"On the other hand... What exactly are we looking for here, anyway? Maybe we should slip in and grab it now, while the rest of the party has the occupants distracted. If I could just remember what it looked like, I could blink in, grab it, and blink out before anybody noticed it missing... but was it a scroll? a book? an amulet? a saint's toenail?" His ancient brain appears to have misfired.

The Camp
(Envongr, Guntram, Armando, Rufus, Garven, and Wen. And Murphy the mule)

Rufus, Wen and Armando decide that now is the time, and approach the abbey as stealthily as they are able; keeping low, and to the shadowy side of rocks as much as possible...

Only Envongr, Guntram, Garven, and Murphy the mule remain at the camp proper.

The Apple Orchard
(Olaf and Highbough)

Olaf and Highbough remain on their guard, overlooking the abbey. After a time they spy some of their fellows moving cautiously from the camp up toward the abbey...

The Lobby
(Torban, Dieter, Desmond/Mondes, Dorgan, Ulric, Josiane and Gustave)

The nun hobbles down the passage babbling happy anecdotes to Ulric, as if he were her favourite son. Josiane is right behind them, followed by the others. Torben remains at the gate, where he surreptitiously slides the heavy bolts back, one after another.

Thhhhhhunck.

Thhhhsssshhunck.

TtzzzzzzzunnkkKK!

Easy as pie.

Meanwhile, in the dim, clean passage a door ahead and to the left opens and a second nun enters the passage, and (1d6=4) verily jumps at the sight that confronts her.

"Sister Meena!" she gasps, "What is the meaning of this?!"

The second nun is, mayhap, 30ft ahead of Meena in the 6ft wide passage.

What do you want to do?
