Inside the of the temple is dimly lit by torches lit by fire that are separated from from each other. It is filled with old treasures and artifacts from the monks who once trained here. Webs and dust fill the place since barely anyone comes here. The walls are plagued with mold and moss. There are small shrubs growing in between the cracks of the stone floor.

I am hired by the local nobles to dig up mysterious bones on their land.  Often the local people believe that bones I dig up belong to dragons, giants, or other magical creatures.  When I find large skeletons, I enjoy trying to put them back together to figure out what they might have been.
Hello, monk. I thought this place was abandoned.  Oh hello archaeologist, I did too, this is my peaceful place. I come here to pray and meditate. What are you doing here? I came here to look for old bones. Local nobles hired me, they believe their ancestors are buried here. Well if you look here there are artifacts left from monks of ages ago. This one here is a staff used for balance you see. Do you believe their ancestors are monks? This is what they told me. I find it doubtful, but who am I to refuse a pouch full of gold! Yes I suppose you are right, but I am no master to gold. Tell me, have you ever tried meditation? I have not, but I find the act of digging for days and days all by myself to be very soothing. Perhaps it is similar to meditation, in a way?  Yes, I guess anything could be ones own meditation. Have you encountered anything interesting in your most recent excavations? I mostly dig up human remains and animals. My favorite part is to assemble large skeletons I find to try and figure out what the animal looked like. Local people often believe I am digging up bones of dragons and other mythical creatures! The one from the old folklore? Do you believe that too? Nay, I have never seen such remains and believe me, I have dug up a lot of them! Tell me, will you allow me to use this pick to dig around here? This is a sacred place, I would prefer if you didn't. but if you must at least go into the basement so you dont cave in the floor.
