It's time to knock off Stefano too. The kind mercenary gives Ezio Smoke Bombs.
Schwing! These are handy for when you must make getaways, or if you have a
ninja fantasy.

Get inside the abbey now. You need to watch out for the armed monks. Everyone
is wearing a robe here, making it hard to pick out certain people, including
friend and foe. Rely on Eagle Vision to see who will attack you. You can also
see Stefano in gold. Use blend to stay amongst the non-violent monks and get
closer. If you actually do start a fight, it's funny to note the monks will
not actually attack, just surround you. Meanwhile, Stefano will flee, so if it
comes to that, get after him.

You could try using the Poison Blade on that guy following him, but it probably
won't work and just end up exposing your position. Find the group of monks near
the middle of the abbey who are standing still. Blend with them and wait for
Stefano. He will end up walking right in front of you and stopping. When he
does, deploy a smoke bomb. Everyone will be caught off guard. Now, leave the
blend with your Hidden Blade drawn and pounce! Pounce like the tiger!

With Stefano dead, the monks will attack this time. Fend them off or flee.
Another smoke bomb makes escape easy. Flee and become anonymous or deal with
enough enemies until you are.
