After fighting your way to Stonehill, you can finish up your latest quest and check out what's available for you. Not only do you now have access to vendors and your stash, you can now access mailed items from other characters (this is important if you're using a character as a "mule" to store items). First of all, speak with the gremlin NPC in front of you to receive a short quest that you can complete while you're in Stonehill - you'll receive some experience and a free map (a permanent one too).
Head to Captain Damon and speak with him - he's standing at the fork in the path, next to a female soldier.
"*Damon scans Anselem's Missive* We're getting other reports of similar events, Villagers in these parts have taken to calling those pale figures the Hollow - they seem utterly soulless. If I send a patrol now, they should be able to reach the priory by nightfall - thank you, <Player name>. It's time we investigate these 'Hollow' creatures more thoroughly - something sinister is certainly afoot.
You will receive one skill point on completion of this quest."
