Anca claims the forbidden books held at St. Tyna's contain ancient wisdom I need in order to defeat the vrakhiri. Problem is, the convent isn't the safe haven it used to be...
Anca told me to meet her at the old inn near St. Tyna's - and we'll go to the monastery together from there.
This fog - it's not natural, that's for sure. We should stick together and watch each other's backs as we approach St. Tyna's.
Travelling through this ungodly fog, we came across a fresh body. Might be a good idea to give it a look-over - and find out what dangers lurk here.
We managed to get to St. Tyna's - and were surprised to hear voices coming from within. What's going on? We need to open the gates and see for ourselves.
We were attacked by a nun who's neither quite dead, nor alive. I need to strike her down all the same.
The nun - she's dead, and yet she came after us. How's it even possible? We need to take a closer look, see what we can learn.
Turns out the whole convent is infested with undead nuns. We managed to safely hide inside the refectory building - but what now? Anca suggested we take a closer look at the convent from the balcony before we decide anything.

The books are somewhere in the library - which Anca cannot safely access with all the undead nuns milling about. I need to figure out how to secure a safe passage for her.
There's smoke coming out of the infirmary's chimney. So there's someone inside - someone who still has their wits about them.
What's that I heard coming from the infirmary - voices? I should check who's inside.
What's inside the bell tower, I wonder - other than the bells? Only one way to find out.
Lots of locked doors around the convent. But I'm sure I can find the right keys to open them.
In the building to the left of the sacristy, you can find a book that explains how to use the bells in the bell tower to lure the zombie sisters to a specific location.
From what I understand, the convent bells were used to inform the nuns what they were supposed to do. I wonder if I can use this to my advantage.
Once you obtain the keys that grant access to the bell tower, you can use the bells to, for example, lure them to the Infirmary building and get rid of the soldiers inside.
The chapel used to be the heart of the convent - if there are any clues as to what happened here, I bet that's where I'll find them.
I've managed to open a secure passage to the library - I need to tell Anca we're good to go.
Reward: 150XP
Anca knows this convent like the back of her hand - let her show me the way.
The forbidden volumes are hidden behind a bookcase. Let's push it out of the way, then.
We know someone took the forbidden books down to the catacombs. We need to find them.
Now we know who brought the curse upon the convent - it was Anca's old friend, Leonica. But now, there's no talking to her - I need to put her down before she kills us both.
Leonica is dead - as it turns out, she was behind the evil that took over St. Tyna's. Anca is browsing through her books now. I should look around the room and approach Anca when ready.
If you handed the notes over to Anca:
We learned that the curse hanging over St. Tyna's was brought down by one Leonica, Anca's old friend. She was trying to use magic to save the nuns from the plague... And much to her later chagrin, she succeeded.
There was no talking with Leonica - but the notes we found in the catacombs contained instructions on how to undo the damage she'd done. Anca insisted that she needed to follow through with Leonica's plan... And seeing how important it was to her, I didn't stop her. Time will tell whether it was the right choice.
If you decided to burn the notes:

There was no talking with Leonica - but the notes we found in the catacombs contained instructions on how to undo the damage she'd done. Anca insisted that she needed to follow through with Leonica's plan - but I couldn't allow it. Time will tell whether it was the right choice.
...
I was hungry for blood - and things got out of hand. Anca is dead, I feel like utter shit, and now I'll never find out what ancient wisdom these forbidden books supposedly hold.
...
I ignored the books hidden in St. Tyna's and decided to storm the castle without their aid.
