Frest Greelving got more than he bargained for when he bought his mansion.  As of late, his home has been taken over by nasty ghouls!  Your job is to recover some of Frest's treasures and then investigate whatever is causing the haunting.

Step 1:  Frest's Valuables.  Run to Frest, located at 6.0N, 43.7E.  Greet him and he will give you his journal, detailing what items he would like you to recover.  There are some monsters inside the mansion, but they are very low level, so you won't likely need to buff.  The three items you need are located in chests scattered throughout the mansion, so run around using [ and ] to scan.  Once you find all 3, head to the tallest tower, where you will find a Zombie.  Kill him and check his corpse for an untranslated text.  Return to Frest and give him the three items and let him read your text.  He will ask you to have it translated in Cragstone.  Find Bretself in his library at 26N 47E and have him translate it for you.  Head back to Frest again, give him the translated story, and he will flag you to enter the mansion's basement.

Step 2:  Frest's Dungeon.  Head down toward the mansion portal, using the Key Frest gives you to unlock the last door.  You may want to buff at this point.  You will only be fighting lower level skeletons and undead, so anyone over 50 shouldn't need to buff.  Bring a Fire or Bludgeoning weapon.  Head inside and you will find yourself in the familiar basement to every mansion... almost.  There are skeletons everywhere, as well as other spooky stuff strewn about.  When you are done looking at all the scary stuff, make your way northwest on the first floor.  You have two goals in Frest's basement.  First, locate a unique Undead in a room with a large vortex.  That Undead drops the Staff of Nullification.  Once you have the staff, you need to find the Dark Sarcophagus, the evil power responsible for the haunting.  Only the Staff of Nullification can destroy the power inside the coffin!  You will find a passageway leading down into a frozen section.  Follow the corridor until you reach the first intersection, where you will turn left.  Head north, through a four-way intersection until you come to a T intersection.  Turn right and head down deeper into the dungeon.  Take your first left and you will come to a Y intersection, where you should bear to the left again.  You will now head through a large chamber and follow a linear passage for quite some time.  Take the first left turn you see and then take your next right.  You will end up in another large chamber with a vortex in it.  Kill the Undead here - the Undead that spawns under the Vortex carries the Staff.  Your group will only need one Staff, so have one person (preferably you) pick it up and then head back the way you came.  Go back up the first ramp and then turn left at the next T intersection.  You will quickly arrive in a large room with the Dark Sarcophagus in the middle.  It is possible to kill the Sarcophagus, but all you need to do to be flagged to complete the quest is to land a critical hit the Sarcophagus with the Staff.  Pass the Staff around to your group and make sure everyone has landed a critical hit the Sarcophagus.  Now head back to Frest via portal or run back to the top of the dungeon.

Step 3:  Rewards.  Tell Frest you have destroyed the evil and he will reward you with an Evil Couch, a comfortable- and evil-looking decoration for your home.  You will also get a whopping 8,000 XP.
