Phase 1. The Cemetery
Siegfried (M15.10) tells you that there's something strange going on at the cemetery. In the middle of the graveyard (M22.1) you see a talking ghoul named Vetala.
Phase 2. Talking Ghoul
If you decide to kill it ...
Phase 3. Vetala Killed
... you will have to face him, one graveir and two ghouls.

At the end you have to go back to Siegfried (M15.10) for your reward - 200 orens (quest over).
Phase 5. The Commando
If you decide to save Vetala, you'll know that there's a Scoia'tael Commando walking around the cemetery.
Phase 6. A Choice
The Commando is near the entrance to the crypt (M22.2). One more choice to make: kill them or save the trapper people.

If you decide to kill the Squirrels...
Phase 8. Siegfried Displeased
... Siegfried (M15.10) pays you 100 orens (quest over).

Phase 10. Siegfried Satisfied
Tell Siegfried of your success (M15.10). You'll get a bonus - 400 orens. It's the best solution to this quest.
Update:
You have to finish Q3.68. Six Feet Under before you initiate Q3.73 Echoes of Yesterday to get the full xp and money reward. If Q3.73. is initiated, reporting to Siegfried will give you the reward but automatically fail Q3.88. Gold Rush. Q3.88. is actually initiated by Echoes of Yesterday and not by "Posh Reception" (probably a game version/patch discrepancy).
