It has been a very long day. You have walked far across the English countryside to reach the abbey and your bones are weary from travelling. The sun has long since set but the countryside is illuminated by a bright moon. The late summer breezes are cool and you begin to feel the chill beneath your habit.
It is well past Compline when you a climb the steps. By now all of the monks will have retired. Arriving at the door you knock and Father Randolph himself opens the door to greet you.
"Pax vobiscum, brother. We have been expecting you. Can you find your way?"
"Yes Father." you answer. "I have been given a diagram of the abbey. I will be fine."
"Then you will forgive me if I retire. Matins comes all too soon and I must be rested.
"Dominus vobiscum."
With that, Father Randolph withdraws and you are once again left with your thoughts.
Inspired by the board game The Mystery of the Abbey, which in turn was loosely based on Umberto Eco's novel The Name of the Rose.
