  1. Look at the grave beside the crypt stair

    North gate, then the old cemetery straight ahead. The grave is west of the stair; click it.

    Olvir the herbalist says the dead of the old cemetery have stopped lying quiet, and he wants to know why. The cemetery is right outside Riverhollow's north gate; the crypt stands in the middle of the graves, with a stair going down. Look around the stair.

  2. Take five handfuls of marked dust from the Restless Skeletons

    The Restless Skeletons walk among the graves of the old cemetery. Level 8 is enough for them.

    A grave beside the crypt stair has been dug open from below, and the tracks lead up the steps, not down. Whatever raises the dead is under the cemetery. Olvir will want the dust of the restless dead: something has drawn a sign in it.

  3. Defeat the Crypt Keeper on the crypt stair

    He stands at the top of the crypt stair in the old cemetery. He is level 10 — do not go at him before then.

    Five handfuls, the same sign in every one. And the thing on the crypt stair, the Crypt Keeper, does not wander like the rest: it stands at the door as if somebody had set it there.

  4. Bring the dust and the key to Olvir

    Riverhollow: the temple steps, north of the market square.

    The Crypt Keeper carried an iron key on a rotten cord. The dust and the key are in your bag; carry both to Olvir.

  5. Choose your reward

    Riverhollow: the temple steps, north of the market square.

    Olvir has seen the key and knows what it means. He is waiting for you to choose what he gives you for it.

  6. Quest complete

    The Crypt Keeper was not a guard but a doorkeeper: somebody below set him to hold the door while he works. Olvir knows who, and what he is pulling at.
