Detailed Walkthrough

Orc shaman, performing some ritual involving the corpses in these sarcophagi

Report your success at the palace

The noble's cousin has your reward

A Temple Resurrected

Speak to a noble, who says:

"My cousin, (cousin's name), has appealed to me for aid in a rather distasteful situation. It appears that there is a ... temple of some variety being consecrated, if that's the proper phrase for these disgusting orcish activities. Well, obviously, we need to crush it while it's budding. I am willing to go as high as (random gold) gold. Can I count on your help, (player's first name)?"

Accept

The noble goes on:

"Thank you in advance for this, (player's first name). What I think would be the best use of your abilities is to infiltrate (dungeon) and eliminate the so-called shaman of the temple. If we can kill it before our assault in (time limit) days that would make our job much easier. When the deed is done, report to my cousin's palace in (town). (He/She)'s the one who's going to pay you for all this."

Decline

The noble answers:

"What are you, some kind of orc-friend? (Oath), get out of my sight!"

Slaying the Shaman

Another standard dungeon crawl; go to the dungeon where the orcs are rebuilding their temple, then find the orc shaman and kill it. Be prepared, as orc shamans have powerful spells at their disposal, and like to turn invisible. When the orc shaman is killed, the following message pops up:

You have killed the orc shaman.

Once the orc shaman is dead, exit the dungeon and travel to the city where the noble's cousin resides, and enter the city's palace. The palace will be open at all hours for the duration of the quest.

Reward

Upon a successfully completed quest the cousin will greet you:

"Greetings to you, (player's first name). First rate job with that stinking, rancid shaman. How dare they set up one of their cannibal temples in my land! The leaderless rabble should be easier to deal with now. Here's your (random gold) gold pieces. Go wild."
