Walkthrough

1
After induction, Brother Antonius will introduce himself. Learn from him or skip his tour.
2
Seek out other novices in the courtyard gardens to identify Pious.
3
To complete monastery side quests, live as a monk without questioning novices about Pious. To leave quickly, speak to novices and then accuse Antonius of being Pious.
4
Once Antonius admits to being Pious, he will propose an escape plan. You can kill him or agree to the plan.
5
If you agree to the plan, acquire the monastery keys from the Prior by pickpocketing or finding them on a shelf in a storeroom behind the kitchen.
6
On your way out, find the paper in the kitchen and order the blood to arrive the next day.
7
Go to bed until dawn.
8
Collect the blood from the kitchen when no other priests or monks are present, ideally during morning prayer or before breakfast.
9
Notify Pious that you have collected the keys and blood. Failure to do so will result in being stuck with daily monk duties.
10
Eat with the others and complete your duties.
11
After evening mass, meet Antonius in the dormitory or follow him there if he leaves early.
12
Follow Pious out of the monastery after he has dropped the blood.
13
Once outside and undetected, decide Pious' fate: kill him or take him to Rattay.
14
If you take him to Rattay, the Bailiff will imprison him. Wait in the jail house until morning for your possessions to be returned.

Collect the blood from the kitchen when priests and monks are scarce, such as during morning prayer or before breakfast.
Ensure you inform Pious about collecting the keys and blood to avoid endless monk duties.
If you choose to take Pious to Rattay, he will resist.
