Sorry to bring up such an old subject. BUT, I think I found where the phantom pile of gold comes from. I just finished the Abbey. I gave 1.000 gold pieces to the phantom of the Abbey who removed the curse. And then in my invetory there was 1.000 gold coins. That is the exact amount of money I gave to the phantom in the Abbey and that money were not in my inventory when I entered the Abbey. So I suppose that I gave him the money, he removed the curse but because he is a phantom could not take the pile. It just stays in the inventory as a ghost pile which can not be used, because it belogs to the phantom. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
