*Warning: Probably spoilers ahead! POTA=Princes of the apocalypse*   The party is a little low level (levels range from 1 to 3) for sacred stone monastary and they need more XP to get along.   I'm thinking of having the interview with Quarbo involve a series of non lethal fights (well, with one lethal one) to test them.   The first would be two monks, followed by three monks. All doing non lethal attacks (unless a monk gets killed)   Then I'd have scratching on the east door and Quarbo teases the group about whether they will fight the thing behind it, that will fight to the death. They can rest/meditate for an hour before trying if they wish, but must pass a low will save to avoid the scratching breaking their rest.   After they fight it (can you guess what it was?) or decide not to, Quarbo gets irritated with their tenacity and sends them to the refectory where he tells them in one hour their next test will come. Indeed, it'll be two Duegar attacking from invisibility!   If they get through that, Quarbo is even more annoyed and can be heard ranting in the other room. After a time a monk is sent to the players to guide them to a bed for the night, as they will face Hellenrae in the morning (who will probably wipe them, even if non lethally!). Here they may find Quarbo's hidden loot and a note about where in feathergale spire to find an incriminating note. Also a note that gives some background on Hellenrae (the bosses having some tragic backgrounds is good!). They could just sneak out during the night - I wonder what the party will do?   Anyway, that should get them some XP and be some fights (which prior investigation stages lacked)
