"I could take care of that! Give me a moment."
Vilhjálmur quickly makes his way down the monastery wall and inside (does that need a roll again?), wearing a cheerful grin.
"Ah, what an excellent battle. Good fighting, everyone. Now, let me see here..."
With that, he casts Stabilize upon the critically injured monk.
The monk is badly injured, but he is not dying.
Varg claims his axe and picks up his gore stained shield from the ground and checks it for damage
"A worthy first battle. While we won't be taking prisoners, it wouldn't hurt to keep these two tied down."
Varg also ties the uninjured monk's hands and feet and let's the others tend to the wounded one
Your shield is utterly shattered. You'd be better off getting a new one than trying to fix this one--perhaps Captain Hroðgar has a spare at the ships?
"If you begin searching the place, I'll ask this one what he knows," Úlfr says, stowing his bow.
To the surviving monk, as he's being bound, Úlfr growls "Rinn thu math roghainn, sagart. Tha sinn a 'coimhead airson ionmhas, agus chì thu innis dhuinn càit an lorg thu e. Mur eil, nì sibh mo charaidean feargach. Tha thu faicinn dè thachras nuair a gheibh iad feargach. chan eil mi ag iarraidh fhàgail bhaile seo gun chead sam bith sagairt, ach bidh mi ma tha mi ris."
"You made a good choice, priest. We're looking for treasure, and you'll tell us where to find it. If you don't, you'll make my friends angry. You've seen what happens when they get angry. I don't want to leave this town without any priests, but I will if I have to."
The monk does not look you in the eye, and between his sobs, responds, "Tha ar airgead a tha à-àrd an staidhir. Táimid t-tá leabhair, agus, agus taipéise d'aois, agus roinnt rudaí eile síos anseo. Táimid tar éis dim byd cudd. C-cuiribh nach eil cron a dhèanamh air na llyfrau, feuch, feuch, tha iad ar beatha obair."
"Our silver is u-upstairs. We h-have books, and, and an old tapestry, and some other things down here. We have nothing hidden. P-please don't damage the books, please, please, they are our life's work. Take us as slaves, throw us in the sea, do what you will, but please keep our lone mark on the world safe."
Looting:
You begin by searching the bodies. The dead monks have little of value worn, unless you for some reason are interested in blood-stained robes, but their weapons are intact. Dropped by the headless monk is an agrarian flail, repurposed into a weapon of war, and lying by the caved-in body of the crushed monk is a crossbow, lightly made and still in workable condition. The warrior's equipment turned out better, thanks to his quick demise; his chain shirt is untouched, though his helmet is ruined, and he bore an arming sword, plain but serviceable. You claim the dropped weapons of the surrendered monks, as well.
Searching the bottom floor, you find several expensive-looking items. You find four books, all inscribed with words in the language of Righland. Three of them seem to be religious texts; casually paging through them, you see similar images to the ones on the stained-glass windows, such as a man with a silver arm, a man with elk horns, and a shining man fighting one-eyed monsters. The fourth seems distinctly different. You theorize it to be a chronicle of some sort; on the first page is a map of the island, and each subsequent page seems to be filled exclusively with what you interpret to be descriptions of dated events. On the wall hangs a tapestry depicting some sort of king conquering considerable amounts of the known eastern world, rife with strange images of a glowing chalice and yet another man with horns on his head. You take it down and fold it up.
The rest of the monastery is rather austere. You still manage to amass a number of reasonably expensive-looking accoutrements from it, however; two golden candlesticks, a collapsible merchant's scale, some miscellaneous Righlandian writing equipment such as parchment and ink, an hourglass, and a small chest containing a few pounds of hack gold and silver, leftovers of foreign trade. All of these are summarily snatched up.
Flail
Light crossbow
Long sword
Chain shirt (missing helmet)
Quarterstaff
Short sword
4 books in the Righlandian language
A tapestry
2 golden candlesticks
Merchant's scale
Some parchment and ink
Hourglass
A few pounds of loose precious metal (to be appraised)
Hroðgar will likely ask for something from your group as tribute for the king, but you doubt he will ask much, and given his focus on the books, he will likely be sated with one or two of them (and perhaps a small cut of the hack metal.)
