• Ask the Apothecary in Rattay about banishing ghosts.

  • Start: Smudging didn't help. I could ask the Apothecary in Rattay if he knows about other methods of getting rid of restless spirits.

  • Completed: Since the smudging didn't work, I asked the Rattay Apothecary what might help. He told me I had to get hold of something that belonged to the departed, and an old book of spells, which won't be easy, since the book is banned.

• Take some charred wood from the burned-down farm.

  • Start: Since the whole burned-down farm belonged to Alois, a piece of charred wood from it should do.

• Get the book Liber de Mortuis - Necronomicon.

  • Start: The book is called Liber de Mortuis - Necronomicon, one of the 'libri prohibiti', books banned by the Church, so there may be one locked away at the monastery. The monks aren't likely to give it to me just for asking nicely though. I'll probably have no choice but to steal it.

• Get Drahomira to tell the truth.

  • Start: I don't think the widow has told me everything. I should talk to her more.

  • Completed: I went back to Drahomira and she finally admitted everything to me. She had had an affair with Alois and when his wife Lada found out, she took revenge by burning down their cottage with Alois inside. No one ever found out about Drahomira and Alois, and years later her conscience caught up with her and would give her no peace, which is why she thought Alois' restless soul was pursuing her.
