What people say

Questor Offer

We have but one rule at the School of Julianos -- knowledge is to be shared. Unfortunately, we have a former member of our order who has forsaken this rule and needs to be punished. If we offered you [reward] gold pieces, would you pursue and slay this erstwhile member of our School?

Refuse Quest

Disappointing. Well, we'll find someone else doubtlessly.

Accept Quest

Good. The prodigal one is a nightblade called [monster] who has taken refuge in [his/her] laboratory, [the dungeon]. If you have not returned in [first part time] days with [monster]'s blood on your hands, we will assume you have failed or have joined [monster] and your reward will be forfeited to someone who will not fail. I trust I've made myself clear. Good luck and goodbye.

Quest Fail

While that nightblade lives, I am not interested in chatting on any subject, [your first name].

Quest Complete

Very nice, [your first name]. Very nice indeed. Here is your [reward] gold pieces. We are very grateful to you.

Rumors During Quest

I hear there's a nightblade in [the dungeon], selling spells for money.

Renegade spellcasters are very dangerous. I hope they get that [monster].

Rumors Postfailure

[monster] has supposedly moved on, still selling spells for money.

I hear the School of Julianos has unleashed the Knights Mentor after someone.

Rumors Postsuccess

They finally got that [monster]. You can't have undisciplined mages loose.

Pity about them catching that [monster]. I hear he had a lot of juicy dirt.

Questor Postsuccess

You're [your name]. Good job with that [monster], you remember, the renegade spellcaster?

Questor Postfailure

Hmmph. You really blew that job to slay the renegade spellcaster [monster], didn't you?
