To start the quest just greet Eclesius by saying Hi, he will ask you if you can assist him on a couple tasks, you gonna say Yes and then ask what taks he wants you to do. Choose one among the five tasks he tells you (Sweep, Polish, Feed, Exterminate or Prevent).

Sweep

This is an easily done task. Eclesius asks you to sweep every single forniture he has in his living room (the same room he is) and in his bedroom (on the top floor). Just be careful not to use the broom on the Fire Basin or it might burn up (and disappear). You don't need to sweep the goldfish bowl and the crystal ball, but you do need to pass through the sealed door on his living room and sweep the furniture there.
Reward: 100 gp and 150 experience points.

Polish

Eclesius needs to polish his crystal ball, but he can't remember what's the recipe for the polish. He says you can go into his lab (downstairs) and find the recipe there. Once inside the lab you can see a note pinned on the wall right next to the door. It says that you need to melt a honeycomb on this magical oven (that's next to the pinned note) until some wax is extracted and use with a fresh Grave Flower for better consistency.

• Use the honeycomb on the oven and you'll get a molten wax
  

You see molten wax.
It weighs 0.50 oz.

• Use the molten molten wax on the Grave Flower and you'll get the special polish
  

You see a special polish.
It weighs 1.00 oz.

Reward: 150 gp and 200 experience points.

Feed

Eclesius needs you to feed his fish. To do so, you gotta prepare the right recipe. The ingredients can be found on a note pinned on the wall behind the goldfish bowl. Once you get all the itens (1 ounce of flour, 1 worm, 1 white mushroom, 1 egg and 1 Sling Herb) go to his lab, and place them all on the magical blending device, and pull the lever right next to it. You're gonna get the fish flakes.

Player: hi
Eclesius: Hey, you! You look young and eager. Due to an... err... unfortunate incident I need a new assistant to do some ridiculously easy and tremendously well paid tasks for me. Are you interested?
Player: yes
Eclesius: Really? Err, I mean, of course no sane young adventurer could resist that offer! Good, good! You can drop by every day and do some easy tasks for me. You can start right away!
Player: task
Eclesius: I have five tasks which, ideally, need to be done once a day. Sweep the house, polish my crystal ball, feed my fish, exterminate bats and prevent the apocalypse. ...
Eclesius: ... wow, I remembered them all. Now if you remember to do them and I remember to pay you for it, I think we'll all be very happy! ...
Eclesius: Just remind me of the task you wanted to do and go right ahead, uh... what's your name again?
Player: bye

Sweep

After you finished it:

Player: hi
Eclesius: Oh, welcome back, my most valued assistant! I have got some tasks for you, and maybe also a real mission or two! Uh... what was your name again?
Player: task
Eclesius: I have five tasks which, ideally, need to be done once a day. Sweep the house, polish my crystal ball, feed my fish, exterminate bats and prevent the apocalypse. ...
Player: sweep
Eclesius: Well, what are you waiting for? Sweep all the furniture in the house! Or are you done already?
Player: yes
Eclesius: Yes, indeed. Everything looks clean. That was you!? Well, then, thanks for your hard work. I guess you deserve a little payment, but don't get greedy!

Player: Polish
Eclesius: Yes, now that you mention it... it was kind of difficult to see anything in my crystal ball earlier on. I fear I'm out of polish for it though. ...
Eclesius: You're going to have to make some yourself, but I can't remember the recipe... anyway, I'll grant you access to my lab. I think you might find what you need to know there. ...
Eclesius: ... if I was considerate enough to write it down somewhere... err, well, thanks in advance!
Player: bye

Player: polish
Eclesius: Yes! I remember! You were supposed to polish my crystal ball, weren't you? Have you done it yet?
Player: yes
Eclesius: You cleaned my crystal ball? Why, that's awfully decent of you. Here's your payment, my hard-working assistant.
Player: bye

Player: feed
Eclesius: Aah! That stupid fish! Some days ago... well, maybe some weeks.. or longer ago... err, anyway, a travelling merchant sold it to me. ...
Eclesius: He told me that it was a special fish who could learn to talk if fed the right food. I really want that fish to talk, but unfortunately I always forget to feed it. ...
Eclesius: If you could do that for me, that'd be great. You need to create a certain food for it though. It was... uh... demonic essence? With fish fins? Or something? ...
Eclesius: No... that can't be right. The recipe is very likely pinned to the wall above the fish bowl. You can use the magical blender in my lab to mix it. Much appreciated!

Eclesius: Feed my fish? Oh, right. <scratches head> So... have you fed it?
Player: yes
Eclesius: What were we just talking about...? Ah yes, the fish. Here's your well-deserved reward! By the way, was the linguistic training fruitful? What did it say?
Player: blub
Eclesius: Hum, is that so... well I guess we'll just feed it again later to enhance its wonderful ability.
Player: bye

Player: exterminate
Eclesius: I think I have a bat problem in my attic. All that flapping drives me crazy! I can barely sleep anymore and it's not helping my mood either. ...
Eclesius: I want you to help me exterminate the bats in my attic. I will let you enter the attic, but there is one thing you have to pay attention to. ...
Eclesius: DO NOT, you hear me, DO NOT hurt the little white cat in my attic. She helps keep down the number of bats and is also very warm and cuddly when she sits on my lap. ...
Eclesius: So be careful! Come back to me once you've killed three of those dratted bats.

Player: exterminate
Eclesius: The bats? They have been quiet for a while now. Were you able to kill a few of the pests?
Player: yes
Eclesius: Ah, fantastic. Thus the soothing silence. I can even focus a little right now. Here's your payment!
Player: bye

Prevent

Player: prevent
Eclesius: Well... this is a rather complicated matter. I... er... have a slight problem in my cellar. Some sort of a... vermin problem, yes. ...
Eclesius: I recently conducted a small ritual to help my former assistant regain his human form, but... err... I must have made a small mistake. Could have happened to anyone, really. ...
Eclesius: Erm... in short, there might be a goblin in my cellar. ...
Eclesius: Okay, I admit it. It's a demon. A... demon uberoverlord. Erm. And... while it was still confused from switching worlds, I managed to lock it up in a cage and ran back up the stairs. ...
Eclesius: I... haven't been down there since, but I do know that we really need to keep that cage locked and in good shape. This task is called 'prevent the apocalypse' for a reason. ...
Eclesius: I think we should keep the door lock oiled in any case. I can create a very effective magical oil containing a hex if you bring me the proper ingredients. There's a list somewhere in my lab. ...
Eclesius: Also, I have a magical key somewhere in my house. We should... err, you should use it on the lock to make sure it's shut tight. ...
Eclesius: Let me think, what else. I think you should get a wooden hammer and use it on all the wooden barriers just in case a nail is loose. ...
Eclesius: And, hmm, maybe some music would also help calm the demon. He gets quite angry at times, you know. And then I can't sleep because of his roaring. I'm thinking of a lyre. Play a lyre in front of his cage. ...
Eclesius: So, you got all that, right? Get the recipe for the magical oil and bring the ingredients to me, find my key and lock the door, use a wooden hammer on the cage barriers and play a lyre. Ahem. Good luck!
Player: bye

Once you got all the ingredients:

Player: hi
Eclesius: Oh, welcome back, my most valued assistant! I have got some tasks for you, and maybe also a real mission or two! Uh... what was your name again?
Player: magical oil
Eclesius: Ah! Have you found the recipe and brought me the necessary ingredients?
Player: yes
Eclesius: Alakaz... erm... Kazordoon? Uhm... A-la-ka-<COUGH>! Here it is! Magical oil for the cage door.
Player: bye

Player: prevent
13:47 Eclesius: Did you prevent the apocalypse, my brave assistant?
Player: yes
Eclesius: Door oiled and locked, wood fixed, prisoner calmed. Very good, we can all live happily, at least for one more day. Here's your reward!
Player: bye
