The storm seems to have passed as the group gathers in the library sharing what they've experienced so far at the strange monastery. After quite some time training, the monks in the clearing end their session and return back to their daily tasks within the earthen mounds that encircle the clearing like a ring around the tree. The recent thoughts on old gods and new have sparked new ideas on what could be at play though the group isn't quite sure what their role is within these events of the gods.
Eventually all of the group finds themselves in the library discussing their day and what they've learned.
Vallen looks to the group, “I feel we need to find out what is calling for help deep in the temple here... and I think the runes around Merveille shrine. I think it is key to finding out what is asking for help.”
Cailee nodded to Vallen. "I agree. It sounds like whatever is in there is more important for the time being. I'll find out more about being a Warden later."
As the monks finish their exercises Svent makes his way back into the monastery. Seeing none of his companions he asks around until he finds them in the library. "I have learned much training with the monks." Svent says serenely, oblivious to the important conversations going on.
Xinq is becoming anxious. He’s beginning to think he should have stayed and kept watch on the stone (unaware that as a cold blooded creature, he might have struggled with the storm). Now that the storm has subsided, he is keen to return there.
Valley looks to Cailee, “It is very possible that the two may be related... one playing into the other no?” He looks to Svent, “Ah welcome back! And so have we, though not so much from training but from well the library and some prayer... and some sneaking...”
Valyncia look between Cailee and Vallen quietly before speaking up, "I don't think the monks here will be too happy with us sneaking around their basement. If it is as important as you say it is, however, then I will go with you. There's no telling what we might find, but I have a feeling it could be dangerous."
Svent quickly and efficiently tightens the straps on his equipment and secures items so they won't rattle or clank. With a surreptitious look around to be sure no one is eavesdropping he says, "The skill that lets a predator stalk its prey also lets it avoid stronger predators."
Cailee would know that there are many service tunnels that go between the various chambers. Most of these were used by lower ranking monks to do tasks that were a bit messier or unpleasant. Most of the main chambers of the monastery were located in the domes that formed a large circle around the great tree. Cailee isn't aware of any chambers below, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. The monks were a rather secretive group that only seemed to share the information they wanted people to know.
Cailee had heard rumors from other apprentice monks that there was an order within the monastery. They never trained with the other monks and rarely were seen outside of areas devoted to Merveille. Cailee may have seen one or two before but they never spoke and never partook in activities or distractions. She had the feeling that going to the shrine to Merveille might be a good place to start.
Cailee scratched her head and replied, "There is definitely a tunnel system throughout the monastery, but I'm not sure of where to find this place. I think we should probably check for a tunnel entrance near the shrine of Merveille, since that's where the sound was coming from."

"Then let us get it done, and get out again".
Sneaking around tunnels is at least something Xinq is comfortable with.
Svent quickly and efficiently tightens the straps on his equipment and secures items so they won't rattle or clank. With a surreptitious look around to be sure no one is eavesdropping he says, "The skill that lets a predator stalk its prey also lets it avoid stronger predators."
The group seems intent on investigating the calling that they've heard.
Where do they start?
(( Jubal will suggest visiting whichever shrine is in the basement of the temple. ))

Valyncia turns back to Cailee and asks her, "Do you know of any path below this monastery?"
