NIA'S QUEST
 
Nia's Quest can be performed in Chapters 2, 3 and 6. Nia will be found in the Six Toe Tavern. Nia's Goods, her shop next door, is haunted, and therefore closed. Nia will ask for your help. If you can solve her problem, she will reward you with a Galon Griefmaker, and her shop will remain open to you for the rest of the game. Since it is one of the cheapest Shops in the game, this is no mean reward.

This is surely the most convoluted sub-quest in the whole game, involving a lot of travel. A detailed guide will be found below.

It should be noted that in Chapter 1 the Haunting of Nia's Goods hasn't begun. The Shop is open, but it's not quite as cheap as it will be later, if you solve the Quest.

And some trivia for the bug-hunters: If you visit the Six Toe Tavern in Chapter 1, Nia will immediately offer you refreshments. If you accept, Locklear will say: "Since you asked so nicely, I hardly think I'd be a gentleman to refuse. We'll take Owyn." (Huh?)

If you refuse, Nia will ask you deliver a message: "... And if you should run into someone named Locklear, would you send him my regards? It would mean quite a bit to me." To which Locklear replies, with a straight face: "Certainly. Good day to you." (Interesting?)

THE STORY:
Nia's father, one Jared Lycrow, has recently died. He is buried in the Graveyard north of the small village. Although Nia doesn't realize this, it is actually Jared who is haunting her Shop! Somebody has dug up his grave, and taken one of his hands away. No wonder poor Jared is restless.

Behind all of this there is a vile plot. A land-greedy farmer, Max Feeber, lives to the East of Nia's Village (see Lyton sector). He wants Nia's land, and cooks up a ghoulish scheme involving Jared's grave. The scheme goes wrong - he gets away with Jared's Burial Cloth and Hand, but clumsily drops the Hand somewhere behind Hershel's House (the easternmost house in Nia's Village). The Hand is later found by Lysle Rigger (James' Double), who is spotted by Hershel. Lysle manages to sell the Hand to Glover, who stupidly thinks it is a Glory Hand. (Lysle is now hiding in a Barn in Darkmoor, Glover in a House in Lyton, and they won't come out!)

Obviously you will need to retrieve Jared's Hand and return it to his Grave. Below, the whole procedure is set out in detail. Some steps are not quite necessary, and you may even have performed a couple before you actually discover the Quest. But let's be thorough.

THE QUEST:

• First, of course, you must talk to Nia in order to learn about the Quest. Then visit Jared's Grave, and note his missing Hand. Before you leave the Village, visit Hershel. He won't tell you much at this stage.

• Next go to Max Feeber's House (see Lyton sector). You will find Jared's Burial Cloth. If you now talk to Max, he will blurt out the whole story. Then go back to Nia's Village, and talk to Hershel again.

• The next step can only be performed in Chapter 2. Go to Malac's Cross. Talk to Ivan at the Queen's Row, then talk to Petrumh, and then to Ivan again, and ask him about James' Double. This will enable you to go to Darkmoor, and get Lysle Rigger to come out of the barn where he's been hiding. He will tell you about Glover. (See Malac's Cross and Darkmoor sectors for more information.)

• Now go to Lyton. At the Inn you can overhear some men joking about Glover. Glover is hiding in a House next door to the Inn, and you can buy Jared's Hand from him for 150 Gold Sovereigns.

• Finally go back to Jared's Grave and replace the Hand. Visit Nia. She will be very happy, give you the Galon Griefmaker [100], and open up her Shop. Nia's Goods is one of the cheapest in the game, and will buy almost anything.
