The dwarven thugs mentioned the possibility of another hidden door in the cellar of Mordus' house. We should explore it thoroughly.
Find and try to use the Ornate Skull.
We have found an ornate skull embedded in the wall. It seems to be missing one of its yellow gemstone eyes.
You need to find Glowing Eye. It can be found inside the Velvety Pouch that can be found in the corpse of Dead Dwarf.
We have acquired an unusual gem, decorated to look like an eyeball.
We placed the eyeball gem into the ornate skull - a secret passageway was revealed to we. We must see what lies beyond.
We managed to lockpick the ornate skull - a secret passageway was revealed to us.
To open the locked door you need to step on or put something on the five plates. You can use the vases. If you have Spirit Vision then you can cast it to see the correct pattern.
We found a strange puzzle of glyphes and pressures plates. What could possibly need such elaborate protection...?
There are 16 plates, press plates marked with X.

Enter the crypt and talk to Desiccated Undead.
We have found a strange crypt, unlike anything we've else seen in Driftwood. A skeletal creature is being held captive within it - a Lich.
The Lich wants us to tamper with a strange panel nearby.
The Lich told us that it was Mordus' prisoner. Mordus was feeding off its Source, subjecting it to great pain in the process.
Press the green button (the second one from the left) on the Console. It will free the Lich and summon five skeletons (lvl 12). The Lich will fight beside you.
After the fight he will give you a skillbook and then teleports away.
We freed the Lich from its bondage. It quickly fled, professing to be hungry...
Go to Desiccated Undead (Outside). The fight will start. At some point you will be able to choose: spare or kill him.
We came across the Lich, feasting on corpses along Reaper's Bluffs.
We spared the creature and allowed it to finish its meal. Maybe there's something in this for us...
We killed the Lich.
While exploring Cloisterwood, we encountered the Lich once more. This time, we found it gorging itself on the corpses of children.
In his corpse you will find Xhaxh's Staff of Parasitic Decay.
We killed the Lich.
We allowed the Lich to continue feasting. Now fully strengthened, it retrieved its Soul Jar and left us the remainder of its cache. What will we find there...?
