Detailed Walkthrough

Starting the Quest

The initial trigger for this quest is when you open a locked round metal door and enter Gedna Relvel's Tomb, while exploring the Temple Sewers. Take a few steps forward, and you should see a message pop up that says that you smell something, not quite the smell of death, but of something more. That sets a trigger that allows Mehra Helas to refer you to Nerile Andaren. Ask Mehra Helas in the Temple District about the 'Latest Rumors' and she will tell you of a new disease going around.

Delivering Medicine

Nerile Andaren, a Temple Healer in the Hall of Ministry, believes that the disease has something do with infected rats. Nerile says that the rumors about the epidemic are greatly exaggerated, but she has a job for you anyway. This is a simple delivery job, where you have to take a potion of cure common disease to Geon Auline in his manor in Godsreach.

When you return to Nerile, however, you find the Hall of Ministry infested with seven infected rats. Kill them all and then talk to Nerile who says that she underestimated recent events and has another favor to ask of you. This time you are to deliver another Cure Disease Potion to Athelyn Malas in the Temple Courtyard. Again, Malas is easily found just outside the temple.

Return to Nerile who has discovered that the recent illnesses are due to the Crimson Plague. The disease was supposedly eradicated in the Second Era, but has reappeared for some reason just now. Something must be done quickly, as the disease spreads and acts rapidly. She asks you to check into the Temple Sewers, to see if you can find where the rats are coming from, and locate the sources of the infection.

Investigating the Source

When you enter the Temple Basement you'll find Shunari Eye-Fly standing over an unconscious High Ordinator. She says that she followed you when you were previously in the Temple Sewers. Unfortunately she became sick somehow, and had to knock the guard out when she exited the sewers. Shunari promises to tell you more, if you cure her and recommends asking Nerile about options, but you can use any of your own spells as well. Nerile will give you a scroll of cure common disease on target. Cure Shunari, and move on to the end of the Temple Gardens to resume the quest. Once at the end of the Temple Gardens and Shunari has been cured, Shunari will then tell you about Gedna Relvel, a corpse in the tomb beneath the temple that attacked her when she went in to look for treasure. The corpse of Relvel said it was here to spread the Crimson Plague and had infected Shunari. Shunari tells you that there is a secret entrance to a section of the tomb that Gedna Relvel used, but she does not know how to use it.

The Tomb

Gedna Relvel

The lich, Relvel, can be found in the area of the same name (Gedna Relvel's Tomb), in the Temple Gardens. If you've explored the area previously during the main quest, you may have discovered a curious set of stone doors in this tomb (opposite the ladder), which couldn't be opened at the time. These doors should be able to be opened, once you've received the journal entry about a Secret Passage with Shunari. The first obstacle is a horde of Skeleton Champions that burst from the room, as it is opened. Once the skeletons have been dispatched, another difficult fight awaits with the Lich that resides deeper in this room. Gedna Relvel is highly magic resistant and casts very powerful spells (in particular, she has one that combines Fire and Frost Damage, and Poison 100-200 pts in 8 ft on Target). Kill her, and loot Robe of the Lich from her corpse. Return to Nerile once the Lich is dead to receive her congratulations and the new power, Grace of Almsivi (Once a day, Restore Health 30 to 80 pts on Self, Restore Fatigue 60 to 100 pts on Self, Cure Common Disease on Self).

Notes

• Due to a bug, Gedna Relvel will be virtually unkillable at higher levels. See her page for more information. You can try to defeat her using strong and long lasting custom made Reflect potions or wearing enchanted items that give you strong Reflect effect overall.
• In the unpatched version, you must speak with Mehra Helas about Latest Rumors before the An Attack on Mournhold quest. Afterwards, she will only mention the Attack on Plaza Brindisi Dorom and that you were there.
• Besides a shattered conscience, there are absolutely no negative consequences to you if you finish off the unconscious guard and take his sword and armor.
• If you kill Athelyn Malas or Geon Auline, Nerile Andaren's disposition towards you drops 50 points.
• Queststage 70 cannot be obtained, and may be bugged considering its reference to Goval Ralen who is not related to this quest.^{[verification needed]}
