Detailed Walkthrough

A zombie haunting the dining area

A skeletal warrior roaming the halls

A ghost in the attic

Old Haunts

Speak to a quest giver, who says:

"A house over in (town) is being haunted by some sort of undead. We need someone to exorcise the spirit. Are you up to it? It pays (random gold) gold pieces."

Accept

The quest giver goes on:

"Remember, if the haunt is too tough for you to handle yourself, just get out of there. No one will blame you for saving your skin. The place is called (residence) and it's in (town). You have (time limit) days or we send someone else out to do the job."

Decline

The quest giver answers:

"No shame in that. I'll keep an eye open for jobs more to your liking."

Exorcise the Undead

Head to town and ask around until you have the location of the house. Sometimes the building is locked, so you either need to pick the lock or have an Open spell available. Once you are inside look for the undead, which can be a ghost, skeletal warrior, wraith, or zombie; each has a 25% chance of appearing. The undead can often be found in the attic; where else should an undead be? Sometimes the door to the attic is locked too, therefore you may need some assistance for this door as well. Upon hitting the undead for the first time it moans:

"I am the ancestor of the builder of this house. It now belongs to the dead. Let all living creatures shun this place."

Kill it and head back to your quest giver.

Reward

When you come for your reward the quest giver says:

"So the haunt is no more. I will burn incense at the altar for its spirit. Here is your temple fee."
