(Roberto) From Beyond the Grave

Deathshadow, a slain necromancer, has returned from the grave as the wraith called Deathshade.  He's amassing an army of undead to avenge his demise at the hands of Stormreach's heroes.  You must prevent him from gaining entry to Delara's Graveyard!

Roberto and Lunaten brought some hirelings along for this task.  A cleric, a paladin, and two fighters.  The quest objectives were simple - light the 4 funeral pyres in Penitent's Rest to bring Deathshade out, while keeping his army of undead away from the gate.  Armed with my chaotic good cold touch longsword, I took two of the hirelings with me to light the pyres, while Lunaten stayed behind, casting wall of fire to incinerate the undead as they approached the gate.

Since it actually took time to light the pyres (something like 30 seconds), having the hirelings with me to watch my back was a good idea.  Splitting up was also a good idea.  The quest was rated as a 'medium' length, but it didn't take us longer than about 7 minutes to light the fires, defeat Deathshade, loot his treasure, and return to the woman who asked us to do all this.

You kept the gates secured while the funeral pyres were lit.  Sensing your presence, Deathshade appeared and was defeated.

Best quote from one of the hirelings:
