What people say

Questor Offer

So you want power, [your name]. Power is a far more tangible quantity than wisdom, don't you agree? Now then, in order for us to judge your worth, we have a bit of toil for you to undertake. Nothing unpleasant, of course. You may rather enjoy it. A simple assassination, for which you will be rewarded with [artifact]. Then we can see if you're ready for real power. Does this sound agreeable?

Refuse Quest

You have wasted our time. We are not pleased.

Accept Quest

We thought it would appeal to you. Now, listen carefully: your target is a [monster] named [monster]. This infernal sparkcaster has been invoking our name, drawing on our power, without a contract. Perhaps this is due to ignorance, but we cannot be merciful. Look for the mage in [his/her] laboratory, [the dungeon] and destroy [him/her]. Then, before [first part time] days have passed, meet our agent, [contact], a [contact], in [tavern's town] at a place called [tavern]. There [he/she] will give you [artifact]. Do not tarry, time is short. We will be watching. Do not fail.

Quest Fail

Listen, [your first name], you and I both know that [monster]'s still breathing. A contract is a contract, and Molag Bal never forgets.

Quest Complete

Hello, [your first name]. You made it. Molag Bal sends his compliments. And, of course, [artifact]. Enjoy it and fare thee well.
