Detailed Walkthrough

Vaden Baro wishes you to investigate reports of a haunting at Roa Dyr. Go to the Statesmen's Hall there. The body of Seryl Hlervan is on the lowest floor, with his 'ghost' standing by it - and the ghost refuses to return into his corporeal form. You can simply attack the body to end the 'haunting', and return to the monastery for the same reward. This is reported as a crime however, with a 40 gold fine.

Speaking to the Dunmer standing next to the body, Lirielle Othreleth, will reveal another way - communing with a daedra named Kras-kira, but two things are needed before the ritual begins - a Scroll of Cautious Beckoning, and Marsh Root Incense.

The Scroll of Cautious Beckoning

Journey to Tur Julan (this is on the ridge, northwest of Oran Plantation). While full of high-level daedra, the Scroll itself is relatively easy to get to, being in the Hall of Invocation - a tower on the south side of the complex. Levitation will be required to reach the entrance. The entrance itself is locked, but you can unlock it through normal means, or speak to the Winged Twilight, Jiah-Tjulka, on the platform below the tower, as she has the key. She will be willing to trade it for you if you retrieve her Moonshadow Rose from the Scamps in the courtyard below (simply attack them), or it can be taken from her corpse.

The scroll is on the lower floor of the Hall of Invocation, on the ground beside the table.

Marsh Root Incense

Indoril Ilvi in the Warriors' Hall

Speak to Indoril Llaren outside the west entrance of the Crossing of Lamps in Roa Dyr, and ask him about Marsh Root Incense. He will refuse to give it to you, at which point you must speak to Indoril Ilvi in the Warriors' Hall (one floor up from the bottom).

Return to Indoril Llaren with the document given to you by Indoril Ilvi. Indoril Llaren will reluctantly consent to give you Marsh Root Incense.

If you can't find Indoril Llaren outside the Crossing of Lamps, he may be inside the Hall of Judgement as part of the Brother Against Brother quest.

(Marsh Root Incense can alternatively be stolen from the vault at the top of the Crossing of Lamps - it is in a brass urn in the southern corner, but 100 magicka and Level 90 Mysticism will be needed to deactivate the vault barrier. An opportunity to enter this location will occur when performing the ritual - too late for the Marsh Root Incense, but not for light robbery.)

The Ritual

Once you have the two ingredients, speak again to Lirielle. She will arrange to meet you at the top floor of the Crossing of the Lamps. Speak to her and confirm that you are ready to commune with the Daedra, Kras-kira, and speak to said Daedra when it appears.

Kras-kira is responsible for the disembodiment, and will apologize, forcing Seryl's spirit back into its body. Speak to Lirelle to confirm, and then return to the monastery, where you will need to speak to Gilse Areth to complete the quest, Vaden Baro having left Almas Thirr.

Notes

• The Scroll of Cautious Beckoning is an Easter egg referencing the song "All Star" by Smash Mouth. A translation of the scroll's Daedric text is below. In the first line, the name "Htoumhsams" is "Smashmouth" spelled backward.

The High Priest Htoumhsams proclaims:

A wise man once spoke

The world will take your advantage

Intelligence is not thine strongest attribute

The foolish witch stands before you

Her fingers arranged on her forehead in an

Arcane symbol

10		A Scroll of Cautious Beckoning may possibly be found in Tur Julan, an ancient Indoril chapel across the Thirr to the west. It is used in Daedric invocation rituals, and might still be near where such rituals were held.
20		Marsh Root Incense is a rare plant and oil mixture made only in Roa Dyr. Indoril Llaren outside of the Crossing of Lamps may have some.
30		Indoril Llaren was not eager to give me any incense; he said only his father Indoril Ilvi had the authority to give it out.
40		Indoril Ilvi gave me a letter to give to his son Llaren.
