Examining the floor in front of the curtains you notice some abrasions on the stone floor in the southwest corner. When you pull back the curtains in the corner and examine the south wall, you notice the hidden door that leads to further into the abbey.
At this point, it's probably a good idea to switch teams.
Carrhae leads the team back to the Belle, prisoner in tow. She knocks on Erriviel's door. "As requested, we made sure to bring back a live cultist for you to interrogate." Once he's taken the prisoner, she heads to Kali's door and knocks. "Hey Kali, are you feeling well? I'm going to have you lead the Away Team to the abbey tomorrow. You'll be taking Syltra, Sloop, Erriviel, and Wolf."

Hearing the knock on the door, Kali retracts the tentacles and sets down a beaker on the table, rising to open the door for the captain. “Aye, feelin’ much better now cap’n. Sorry for makin’ ya worry. We’ll head out tomorrow then, yeah?”

AWAY TEAM TWO: Carrhae, Kali, Sloop, Wolf, Syltra, Erriviel
Back on the Belle, Misha prayed. It was a day full of honor and glory, and best yet, no one died. They had eliminated one of the bounty targets, and away team two was heading back in the next day. She thanked and praised Bane for her success, and unlatched out of her armor and polished her hammer and shield. After updated Command of their status, she went into the galley and made herself three plates of food and ate ravenously. Wearing nothing but her black offduty half shirt and pants, she walked along the deck and made sure everything was in order while they held position by the island.
Then she remembered something, so approached Sana.
"Comrade, many apologize!" she said, smiling warmly, "Deed not get a chence to meet your playful feesh friend. Next time, ya? I was..distracted. Sorry!"
Erriviel walked above deck, rapier on his hip and quarterstaff over his shoulders, waiting eagerly for the coming mission. During the night, there was a half hour period where orchestra music played loudly, while those who were listening closely heard muffled screaming.
"That was a rather easy jaunt," Syltra comments. "I fear they will have prepared for us by the time we return. We should be ready for a bolstered defense."
Dashing as ever, Sloop appears on the main deck, ready to go on the next mission. He has that certain twinkle in his eye....like he’s ready to stab some bad guys and make the ladies swoon. Confidence? Perhaps.
"Yes." Misha agreed with Syltra. "That did seem a little..too easy, perheps." She thought for a moment. "Next away team has more members. May they achieve honor and glory in the name of Bane. Even if none of them worship him like I do." She winked and smirked.
She strolled by the cannons and made sure everything was in working order, and scanned the horizon and the island. Everything seemed in working order for now, and there were no immediate threats.
Wolf comes stumbling out, a new cloak on, a new quarterstaff on his back, and a jug in one hand, and a bunch of sandwiches in the other. He hands everyone a couple sandwiches and says, “I made us food for the trip. Everyone else....there’s sandwich material out for you. Anything missing from the kitchen and I’ll starve all of you.”
Misha gives a sheepish grin to Wolf, accepting the sandwich - trying to maintain her composure at hiding the fact the night before, she had ransacked the kitchen and made three plates of food.
Syltra squeezes through the opening into the familiar room. "Ugh...stench is still here. Would it have killed these cultists to take a bath once in a while?"
A short tunnel widens south into an unfurnished and undecorated thirty-foot-square chamber. Standing next to one another in the center of the room are two enormous skeletal guardians; their heads feature prominent horns, and each wields a massive, rusted axe. Five corpse-like figures stand shoulder to shoulder, guarding a door in the eastern wall. Their faces have been painted in gruesome colors. Not recognizing you, they assume an attack stance and engage you all. (These are all undead)

Erriviel takes the cultist into his room, giving Carrhae a nod and a smile, "Much appreciated, captain. I will take care of this tonight."
In Area 4, Syltra gingerly takes the pouch of gold, and when she has a moment afterwards she washes the coins of their foul stench.
“Every little bit helps,” she says. “I’ll put this toward another healing potion, in case we need it later.”

Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?

Syltra nods and smiles, understanding of Misha's statement about Bane.
Then she takes a sandwich. Three bites later, it's gone. "Thanks Wolf!" She says, licking her fingers.
