Q: How do I get the item out of the one crate in the Upper Monastery? I can see something is there but I can't open the crate.

First you need to use the "Strange Machine" (7) just off the Library. Turn it all the way up and press the button to break all the glass in the Upper Monastery. Next proceed up the stairs by the crates. There will be several computer banks. The glass is now broken so hop out the window overlooking the crates onto one of the crates below to avoid damage. Open the crate from this side and take the item then walk up the plank of wood and hop off the crates.
 

Q: How can I cure disease?

A diseased character can be a bit tough to deal with early in the game. The best way to deal with it is to avoid it. Avoiding it is easily done since monster spawns are based on party level. Keep the party at or below level 5 in the Monastery to avoid the spawning of disease carrying pests.

Once the character is diseased DO NOT rest! It will not make the condition go away it will only make it worse. After time disease leads to permanent loss of attribute points. Curing disease can be done via a level 4 spell or a Cure Disease potion. Pure casters would need to be level 8 and hybrids level 12. Their effective skill level will need to be 45 to learn the spell. A party member with the Alchemy skill could mix the potion if their Alchemy skill level is equal to or exceeds 40. (See Alchemy recipes)

You could always attempt a mad dash to Arnika and buy the potion or use the pool of water in the Temple near Lord Braffit if you cannot afford a potion.

Then there's that load option to consider as well if not in Ironman mode.
