Detailed Walkthrough

The unclean spirit can take many forms

The Unclean Spirit

Speak to the quest giver, who says:

"The whole philosophy of the Benevolence of Mara forbids us to harm another living creature willingly. We do, however, have a situation that unfortunately calls for direct and fatal action. If we agreed to pay you (random gold) gold, would you be prepared to destroy an unclean spirit that is haunting one of our sacred shrines?"

Accept

The quest giver goes on:

"There is an abandoned temple, not too far from here called (dungeon). It has been sacred to our Benevolence for centuries. We do not worship there, but we attempt to keep it free of evil influence. Unfortunately, the spirit that haunts it is too powerful for us to repel. If you are not back in (time limit) days, we will assume that you have failed and send the Maran Knights instead. Obviously, your reward will then be forfeit. Go with the blessing of the Goddess."

Decline

The quest giver answers:

"It is an assignment of considerable danger, but I'm disappointed that you will not even consider it."

Cleansing the Temple

This quest is a typical dungeon crawl; head to the dungeon named by the quest giver and enter it. Find the unclean spirit within, which can be a ghost, a mummy, a wraith or a zombie. When you destroy the creature, it says its final words:

"My spirit will now rest at peace." (Dungeon) has been cleansed."

Once you have dealt with the haunting, return to the Temple and collect your reward.

Reward

When you report back after the dungeon has been cleansed, the quest giver will say:

'You have done a great service to the Benevolence of Mara, (player's first name). A favor that will not soon be forgotten. Enjoy your (random gold) gold -- you deserve it."
