What people say

Questor Offer

My name is [quest giver]. Can you help me find my friend? I can only pay you [gold] gold.

Please help me. My friend [missingperson] is missing. I am afraid that [he/she] might have been hurt. I will pay you [gold] gold pieces if you find [him/her].

Refuse Quest

Good day, [your race]. I will look for someone else.

Is no-one willing to help me?

A thousand pardons. I mistook you for a heroic adventurer.

Accept Quest

My prayers have been answered. [missingperson] has not been seen for four days, and I am very worried about [him/her]. [He/she] has been seen consorting with [friend1] and [friend2]. You might want to start with them. If you can't find [missingperson] within two days, you need not search any further.

Quest Complete

Here is the [gold] gold I promised you.

Rumors During Quest

I hear [quest giver] is frantically searching for [missingperson].

Rumors Postfailure

No one has seen [missingperson] for days now. [He/she] has been given up for dead. I hear [quest giver] is grief- stricken over it.

Rumors Postsuccess

Say, aren't you that [your race] that helped [quest giver] find [missingperson]?

Questor Postsuccess

How can I turn down the [your race] that found [missingperson] for me?

Questor Postfailure

I know it wasn't your fault you were unable to find [missingperson] for me. They found [him/her] body in a gutter.

Quest Log Entry

On [the quest date], I agreed to help [quest giver] find [missingperson]. [He/she] has been missing for four days. My only clues are that [he/she] has been seen with [friend2] and [friend1] recently. If I do not succeed within two days, I will not get paid.

Message 1021

You're looking for [missingperson]? Well, [he/she] is hiding in [hidingplace], but don't tell [quest giver]. [missingperson] has sworn to never speak to [quest giver] again. Don't ask me why.

Message 1022

Have I seen [missingperson] lately? Sure. The guards caught [him/her] stealing from a temple. [quest giver] will be livid when [he/she] finds out.

Message 1023

Did [quest giver] put you up to this? I thought so. [an oath], [he/she] had a nasty fight with [missingperson] a few days ago. [missingperson] left town and hasn't been seen since. No, I don't know where [he/she] went.

Message 1024

[missingperson]? Yeah, I know what happened to [him/her]. [He/she] got killed, that's what. My friend Smiley asked [him/her] real nice for [his/her] gold, and [he/she] wouldn't hand it over. You really should meet Smiley and my other friends. Get the [your race], Smiley!

Message 1031

[missingperson]? Naw. Haven't seen [him/her] for a couple of days. Try asking [friend3]. [He/she] might know.

Message 1032

[an oath]. I haven't seen [missingperson] since the day before yesterday. You could ask [friend4] or [friend1]. One of them might know.

Message 1033

[friend1] told you I might know something about [missingperson]? Afraid not. All I know is [he/she] went out drinking last night. Hope nothing bad happened to [him/her].

Message 1034

Sorry, I haven't seen [missingperson] in a while. I don't know why [friend2] would send you to me... Have you tried [friend1]?

Message 1040

What are you doing here? I don't ever want to see [quest giver] again. Hey! Let me go! You can't just drag me through the streets to [him/her].

Message 1050

[missingperson]! I didn't expect you to actually bring [him/her] here, [your name]. [missingperson], where have you been? I've been worried about you. [your first name], I'll take it from here.

Message 1051

So, [missingperson] is hiding, eh? I'll go get that miscreant out of [his/her] hiding place. You've been very helpful, [your name].

Message 1052

In jail!? I have to leave right away. Maybe I can bribe the magistrate.

Message 1053

So [missingperson] has left town? [He/she] didn't need to do that. I would have forgiven [him/her].

Message 1054

Dead!? How can that be? I hope you made that Smiley suffer, [your name]. This is a day of great sorrow for me. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [he/she] occurs 20 times. -- [him/her] occurs 17 times. -- [his/her] occurs 1 time. -- [an oath] occurs 2 times. -- [your first name] occurs 1 time. -- [your name] occurs 4 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 1 time. -- [your race] occurs 5 times. -- [missingperson's town] occurs 1 time. -- [friend1] occurs 5 times. -- [friend2] occurs 3 times. -- [friend3] occurs 3 times. -- [friend4] occurs 1 time. -- [gold] occurs 7 times. -- [missingperson] occurs 26 times. -- [quest giver] occurs 10 times.
