Grosark's True[ish] Form
Fransesca Muradrake in Statehelm said, "I do appreciate what you've done to stop Grosark. But I've bad news: what you slew was merely Grosark's bodily husk, a sort of meat puppet that he wore because he didn't realize that liches don't need them. But the good news is that he doesn't know enough about his powers to be particularly dangerous to our realm yet. Some of his soul is in Acur, and the rest of it is trapped here, bodiless, in what is called an astral state. But the bad news is that he can escape this state easily if he only knew how, and he is researching furiously. I've detected his presence near the ivory library. He can't get in, of course, even in astral form, but it shows that he knows what he needs. It's only a matter of time. But the good news is that long ago I researched the perfect ritual for this situation. The Statehelm graveyard may seem an ordinary one, but it was actually configured by the Council to support extreme necromantic rituals. You can use that place to pull Grosark into our realm now, while he is weak and confused. It's the only way. Aside from the myriad other ways, of course, but it's the only way I recommend. Here are the notes. Follow them diligently. And bring a friend. No, bring an army! No, that would be chaos. Bring between five and fifteen friends. Oh! You'll need a summoning candle. Can you make them? No, nevermind, let me teach you precisely how to make it safely. No sense getting you turned into an ectoplasmic pudding. It's a relatively simple candle... I trust you know your way around a candlemaking station? There's one conveniently located in the crypt."

I do appreciate what you've done to stop Grosark. But I've bad news: what you slew was merely Grosark's bodily husk, a sort of meat puppet that he wore because he didn't realize that liches don't need them.

Requirements
Completion
You completed the ritual and destroyed Grosark? Hmm, it's true that his presence seems very small now, but I can still detect him. I'm not sure we've seen the last of Grosark. But the problem has at least been postponed. That will do for now. Thank you. Sometimes being wise means being willing to say that you CAN'T do something. I don't think I could have stopped Grosark alone. Oh, I know you had assistance also, but... well, I'm used to working solo. That's changing, though. I am starting to enjoy working in tandem with you. We make a strong pair.
