The undead blight, tending a brazier deep within a dungeon

A Dangerous Mission

Speak to the quest giver, who says:

"(Player's guild title), I have a dangerous mission for you. I will tell you up front it involves slaying a rather powerful undead creature. Are you still willing to undertake this task for (temple)?"

Accept

The quest giver goes on:

"Your courage honors our order, (player's first name). We wish to begin cleansing a place called (dungeon). Long ago it was one of our temples, but its desecrated corridors are now haunted by some undead apparition. You must slay this unquiet spirit and sprinkle its body with this specially prepared holy water. If you have not returned in (time limit) days I will burn incense for your departed soul and send someone else to avenge you. May (temple's god) go with you."

Additionally, there is a one in three chance that the holy water must first be blessed before it can be used. If so, the quest giver will add:

"Ah, wait, I am so forgetful these days! You first need to take the holy water to (priestess' name), of (temple) in (town). (She) will place the final blessing on it."

Decline

The quest giver answers:

"Well, I certainly cannot blame you. I myself would not dare it."

Hunting the Undead Horror

If you need to bless the holy water, see the priestess

If the holy water needs to be blessed, you must first speak to the priestess who can do this task; you will not be able to exorcise the undead creature without completing this step.. Travel to the priestess' town, head into the temple, and talk to her:

(Priestess' name) takes the vial from you without a word. (She) gravely blesses it, then you. (She) hands it back and returns to (her) meditations.

Once you have a chalice of blessed holy water now in your inventory, proceed to the dungeon mentioned by the quest giver and find the undead menace within. The target creature will be a zombie, a mummy or a ghost. When you hit the undead for the first time, it will moan:

"I am (monster's name)! You may slay my material form, but I will always return to my home here in (dungeon)!"

When the undead lies at your feet and you have the blessed holy water with you, the following message pops up:

"As you sprinkle the holy water over (monster's name)'s remains, a despairing wail echoes through the dark halls of (dungeon), slowly fading into the distance."

After the undead has been destroyed for good, head back to the quest giver to complete the quest.

Reward

When you come back after the undead creature has been dispatched, the quest giver will say:

"Praise (temple's god), you have returned safely! Our seers already reported that the evil within (dungeon) had been cleansed. You have done well in the service of (temple)."
