Solution Explanation

Reward

Town crier (center of town)

Kill Bassilus and return his holy symbol to the Beregost temple

Bassilus is in the southeast portion of the sector south of High Hedge (two northwest of Nashkel)

When Bassilus starts talking to you, pretend to be his parent. Tell Bassilus you haven't seen him since Zhentil Keep and then accusing him of lying, or of being a coward and a murderer, which will kill off his undead guards instantly. He's a high level cleric, so take him out using hold/paralyze spells while hitting him with arrows to prevent him from casting spells. Take his holy symbol to the main temple building east of Beregost

1,000 xp and 5,000 gold

Take down a band of half-ogres

The half-ogres are in the sector northwest of Nashkel

Track down her husband, Roe, in the roads south

In the sector south of Beregost a couple of ogrillons have a note that'll solve the mystery of Roe

300 xp

and a ring of protection +1
