Detailed Walkthrough

Answer the 3 Riddles from Smith Nabeenam. The answers are not entirely obvious until he explains them afterwards.

(Riddle 1) Why did she live? A: Both the man and the woman were bandits. If she were telling the truth about how he had attacked her before, one of them would have been injured and her blade would have been notched.

(Riddle 2) How did Master Ahram win the duel? A: Master Ahram used a wooden training sword. The wizard could turn steel to mist, but the wooden sword is not made of steel.

Then you'll have to talk to three servants to get hints for the final riddle. 

(Riddle 3) What did his student give him? A: She asked him to get her blade back from the bandits, giving him a last battle. One of the multiple-choice answers, suggesting an enchanted blade, is incorrect because of his hatred of enchantments: another, suggesting that he died in peace, cannot be true because the truth of his death is not known. In fact he wanted one last battle - a warrior's tradition if ever there was one, even if it was a battle he couldn't win at his age.

Talk to Disciple Raifa. He will ask you to face several recruits - all at once, since you evidently have more combat experience.  A tough but manageable fight if you get your own tactics right. Fortunately, these students and their masters are not bound by Master Ahram's reputed hatred of magic and enchantments, so you can use spells, potions, magic weapons, whatever tactic you like.

Drink from the Cup of Visions and recover several ritual items. The items are easy to find... but in your dream you'll receive some very disturbing messages from the owner of each relic, and be attacked by bloodfiends and Fallen Disciples, and the entire town will be full of the same.  Have you actually been killing off townsfolk in your dream? No, as it happens - when you pick up the third item, everything will return to normal.

Walk up the stairs, depositing the items at the relevant shrines along the way for a quick prayer, walk into the room, take your place kneeling on a mat with the students... and watch as it is revealed that, in fact, Master Ahram got more than he bargained for in his "final battle", because he is still with us, as a vampire - and taking blood from the students, who are all apparently briefly enthralled with you being the only one who actually sees what is going on.  Fadalia decides there and then that this is enough, she will put up with it no longer, Ahram says he will take hers instead - and apparently turns her into a vampire herself in doing so.

The other important people (Raifa and Tafa) won't believe it, but Fadalia will confess. You have to go to Ahram's tomb and dispatch him; enter it from a trapdoor in the graveyard labeled "Crypt". Ahram himself is a very tough mini-boss, he hits very hard in a small space where there isn't a great deal of room to manoeuvre. 

When you come out, Arbiter Salida has been summoned, and you must decide Fadalia's fate - either she dies, or she lives on in her state as a vampire with everybody knowing about it. Tafa wants her dead, Raifa thinks she can be allowed to survive since they know what she is, and she may be able to offer other insights into how to combat the undead.  Fadalia herself will accept her death, and indeed believes it's the only just outcome for having hidden the situation for so long: if this is the player's choice as well, the arbiter tells her to die by her own hand.  If she lives, she is exiled.   Either way, whether she lives or dies, you get the same reward for the quest, and one of the two remaining senior members of the community is unhappy at your decision.
