    So did I :lol:

    Theoretically, he needs you to destroy Nemphre and Arkion, the two necromancers, and one of them has the ring. But I suppose that any onyx ring will do (I haven't checked the dialog file, probably the onyx ring you take from one of the necromancers uses the same file as any common onyx ring; I am not sure though)

    It's a generic onyx ring, which means any other will do. Same thing with the necklance you get from the other necromancer. And you don't need to kill them, just pickpocketing the items from them is enough to make Ordulinian (blame Andyr if I spelled it wrong :) ) happy.

    Necromancers are evil (okay I haven't checked their alignment but according to Ordulinian, they are evil), Ordulinian is good, my party is good => no pickpocketing, I killed both of the necros.

    I put it on my thief who also wears a ring of invisibility. particularly useful against mages who launch detect invisibility right away. then the backstab and bye bye Mr. Mage.

    I don't actually know where the necromancers are, but I inevitably have an onyx ring in my inventory by then, so... ;)

    Both (Nemphre and Arkion) are in simple houses, one of them is in a house at the Southern exit of the area where the Sorcerous Sundries shop is located.

    By the way I wouldn't have given another onyx ring to the priest, because as I said it's a principle that when I play good, I'm honest! :p

    @Baronius: What if Ordulinian is lying?
    Wait, he's good, so he can't be lying. Hm... What if he was misinformed? :p
    IIRC, necromancers can be good-aligned. You can even create a Lawful Good Necromancer :D

    Sure. Traditional necro-mancing and shadow-dancing cannot be related with good though, since they disturb dead creatures which is not nice at all. Dealing with corpses and dark forces...
    But of course D&D is D&D, the text above is just my opinion...
