Father Amastus Reinos hires a band of brave warriors to help him take back his monastery, known as the Stoneblade, from a band of underfolk who have overrun it. Promising to use the ritual chamber to bring the Light of Helerion, he assures the group that a small party can succeed if they can sneak in. Telling of the hordes of underdark, and the wyvrn that they brought, it is clearly an uphill challenge. On the way, first a forest drake, then darkfolk assassins stand in their way. But, getting close, the old priest leads them through a secret tunnel, fraught with its own dangers. Getting to the holy chambers of the church itself, they find the slaughter of battle, where dozens of darkfolk and a wyvrn lay dead. A few straggler darkfolk try to hold out, but are no match for the party and the terror above. Climbing the central spire, they come upon the a most fearsome beast. Slaughtering the dragoone in quick hail of arrows, Father Amastus Renios opens the ceremonial chamber. Inside, treasures abound, with stone guardians. Drawing the group in for the ceremony, a crash is heard below as the front door is breached. Larissa, examining the dragoone's possessions carefully determines that it was not a beast of evil, but was a guardian defending the spire. With a shout, "Thieves! Thieves are in the vault!", Father Renios triggers his trap, buy stealing the greatest of the treasures in the room. Once the chaos settles, our heroes find they were on the wrong side of the law. Having helped a doppelganger break into the vaults of the Stoneblade, having killed the guardian, they do a bit of fast talking to save their own lives. Last second realization of the betrayal and quick action is all that stood in the way of the doppleganger's victory. After a very lengthy interrogation, the group get to walk away with a chastising and a minor bit of treasure. None have made a friend with the church that day, even though their intentions were good.
