Leads to:
Clearing the barracks is a tough one if you are doing these quests solo and at level. The mobs fight in groups and adjacent ones agro real quick, not to mention the fast respawn rate. The mobs you will be questing after aren't that tough, its just when a group of mobs gets after you, as is often the case. I'm a hunter and trying to do ranged, traps and kiting in such a confined space is a nightmare. Got killed four times in the process.
Fine, I can give you a mission or two. (Proceeds to give you four missions)

A few of our men didn't make it through portals which were supposed to open inside this very abbey. You've already proven your elusiveness and battlehardiness... now I need you to do so again. The abbey has two wings: a library, and a hall of arms. In each wing, you should find a portal.
