Nocturnal's Quest

Questor Offer

You wish, [your name], for power. With it you can thrash at shadows and have a hope. If I brought you this hope, what would you bring me? Would you destroy one who brings me pain?

Refuse Quest

As I thought, no heart at all. We shall have no contract then, you and I, and, disappointed, return I to my cold palace. The souls within are no kinder than those here, but there, they follow.

Accept Quest

Would you? You would be my anesthesia? You will go to the lair of the [monster] [monster] at [the dungeon] and slay [him/her]? Ah, [your first name], for that I would give to you my [artifact] which I have entrusted to my slave [the giver's friend]. After [monster] lies dead, go to [the giver's friend's place] and meet my slave at [the giver's friend's town]. You will recognize [him/her] easily - a [the giver's friend]. There you will receive the [artifact]. And now, I must return to my cold palace of Oblivion. I will await news.

Quest Fail

No. You must be looking for a different [the giver's friend]. My name isn't [the giver's friend].

Quest Complete

So, you're [your name], right? I'm [the giver's friend]. I must say, I was wondering what kind of [your race] it took to glide into a [monster]'s stronghold, murder the owner, and trip right on out. Very impressive. Nocturnal is likewise intrigued by you, hence this gift: [artifact]. Be careful with it, [your first name].

Rumors During Quest

[monster] is a sneaky one -- [he/she] brings the whole Mages Guild under suspicion.

I can't trust anyone at the Mages Guild, knowing [monster] is a member.

Mages say [monster] is hiding from Oblivion's wrath at [fakedung's place].

Mages are gathering to scour [fakedung's place] for that scoundrel [monster].

I saw a bunch of mages heading out to [fakedung's place].

I heard that traitor [monster] is now hiding out in [fakedung's place].

Rumors Postfailure

I knew [monster] was in some kind of trouble, why else would [he/she] leave so quickly?

The Mages Guild must have decided [monster] was a liability to their image.

Rumors Postsuccess

Well, I can't say I'm surprised about [monster]; [his/her] past caught up to [him/her].

I don't even think the Archmagister is sad to hear of the death of [monster].

[an oath]! [monster], Oblivion's agent is upon us! I've moved the most valuable reagents to [fakedung's place] and plan to meet you there after you've dealt with that pesky [your race]. N.

Message 1017

A voice seems to echo in your ear: [monster] ...sure...special place... news...

Message 1018

Message 1020

[the quest date]: I now have a contract with Nocturnal, one of the Daedric Princes of Oblivion. I have agreed to slay the [monster] [monster] in [his/her] stronghold of [the dungeon] in exchange for Nocturnal's artifact, the [artifact]. I must have the deed done and meet her agent [the giver's friend] in [the giver's friend's town] of [the giver's friend's place] in [first part time] days or I will have failed the contract. This may mean something worse than just me not getting the [artifact].

Message 1021

[the quest date]: [monster] offered me [bow] in exchange for [his/her] life, and I could not resist. [He/she] said that it is somewhere in [bowdung's place]. Since I have already betrayed Nocturnal, I may as well try to find it.

[the quest date]: [monster] offered me the [ring] in exchange for [his/her] life, and I could not resist. [He/she] said that it is somewhere in [ringdung's place]. Since I have already betrayed Nocturnal, I may as well try to find it.

Message 1030

Wait! I know that Nocturnal has sent you, and that she has promised you the [artifact]. But if it is truly power you seek, I can top her offer -- if you cease your attack, I will tell you where to find [bow]. Do you agree to my offer?

Message 1031

Message 1035

You have slain [monster]. Prince Nocturnal will now rest easier.

Message 1040

Excellent. I knew you had a mercenary's heart. [bow] lies hidden in [bowdung's place]. You have only to find it and you will be a power to be reckoned with indeed. Now, I bid you good day, lest you decide to claim both [bow] and the [artifact] by killing me. A mercenary heart such as yours should not be trusted too far!

Quest Time Lapse

Mocking laughter echoes in your mind, "You should have known better than to trust me, [your name]. Perhaps this shadow of power can satisfy your craving for a time, while you rage vainly against those who actually possess it. Me for example. I do hope sweet Nocturnal won't be too displeased with your treachery." [bow] crumbles to dust in your hand.
