Vaernima's Quest

Questor Offer

A very wise [your race] once said that power corrupts, and absolute power is absolutely fabulous. That's why I am going to help you. Now, I'm sure you have certain moral problems with murdering an innocent who never hurt you in any way. But you'll do it to win my Skull of Corruption, yes?

Refuse Quest

No? Why ... you ... contemptible, sniveling, virtuous, sterling piece of goblin snot! I'm not going to waste my precious time with anyone so poisonously moral.

Accept Quest

Grand. The particular innocent I have in mind is a [monster]. You're probably thinking, an innocent lich? Well, innocent to you. To me, he is a treacherous former servant who took all the power I offered him, and ignored my orders. You will find his cadaverous presence in [the dungeon]. He's nervous, so be ready for a battle. After your victory, go to [the giver's friend's place], and look for my servant [the giver's friend], a [the giver's friend] at [the giver's friend's town].

Quest Fail

Why, you treacherous [your race]. Are you pretending you've slain the lich to get your grabby hands on the Skull? Vaernima would be amused, but, alas, I am under strict orders. Come back when you've fulfilled your contract.

Quest Complete

So, did the lich cough up a cloud of dust when it died? [the giver's friend] here, [your first name]. Vaernima will be so pleased with the news. I hope you won't mind if I embellish a little about some horrible outrageous sins you committed in your journey. Here is [artifact]. Use it whenever you want a target to be faced with their darkest side. Farewell, [your first name], but do bad.

Rumors During Quest

There is a curse on this land while that lich remains in [the dungeon].

If only some great hero would come to slay that ancient lich in [the dungeon].

Rumors Postfailure

That lich left [the dungeon], but it's not dead. It'll be back when it's ready.

I'm just happy that lich is gone, even if it isn't dead.

Rumors Postsuccess

I hear [a god] sent us an angel to rid [the dungeon] of that accursed lich.

We may never know who destroyed that lich in [the dungeon], but he's in our prayers.

[the giver's friend] is one of Vaernima's dirty little spreaders of corruption.

Message 1013

Vaernima is the Daedra Lady of Corruption and Decay. Not nice to look at.

Vaernima is a Regent of Oblivion, and her sphere is Corruption and Decay.

Message 1014

The Skull of Corruption creates dark and oppositional duplicates of a target.

The Skull brings forth a target's dark half from Vaernima's plane of Oblivion.

Message 1015

You have slain the [monster], fulfilling your part of the bargain with Lady Vaernima.

Message 1020
