What people say

Questor Offer

Excuse me? [questg] is the name. I don't know how I feel about you, but I do need a favor. My sister, [sister], is having a birthday next month and I could really use some [item] for the celebration. It's worth [gold] gold pieces. What do you say?

Refuse Quest

Just as well, I suppose. Good day.

Sorry I asked.

Then we never talked. I'd hate for you to spoil the surprise.

Whatever. It was easy gold, you know.

Leave me then. I have a celebration to plan.

Accept Quest

Excellent! You are a smart one. This is easy gold. Go to [store] and find [merchant]. [He/she] has the specific [item] I need. Remember, there is only a month 'til the celebration.

Very good. This is easy gold. You'll have to go to [store] to find the exact kind I need. Talk to [merchant]. [He/she] runs the place.

Quest Complete

Very good, [your name]. Here's the gold I promised.

Rumors During Quest

I hear that [questg] really doesn't like [his/her] sister, [sister]. And [he/she] is about to get married.

Rumors Postfailure

Did you hear that [sister] uncovered an attempt to poison [him/her]?

Rumors Postsuccess

[sister] was found dead! And on the eve of [his/her] wedding day, too.

Questor Postsuccess

Ahem. Well, yes. I suppose since you did get that... item for my sister's nuptials, I do owe you a debt.

Questor Postfailure

Traitor! I send you on a simple fetch mission and you have to blab it to [sister]. You'll get no help from me.

Message 1011

You are carrying the [item]. Do you want to give it to [sister]?

Message 1013

Message 1025

[the quest date]: I have promised [questg] of [questg's place] that I will obtain some [item] from [merchant] at [store] in return for [gold] gold pieces. I must return with the [item] before the birthday celebration of [questg]'s sister, [sister], which is in one month.

Message 1040

Hello. Yes, I am [merchant]. Some [item]? Yes, I have it. I'll take your 20 gold pieces and you can have the [item]. Thanks for stopping by.

Message 1041

Hello. Yes, I am [merchant]. Some [item]? Yes, I have it. I'll take your 20 gold pieces and you can have the [item]. Oh, I'm sorry. You don't seem to have enough gold to pay for that.

Message 1050

Hello? Why are you here? You say [questg] wants some [item] for my birthday celebration? Oh, what a wonderful idea! I promise not to spoil the surprise!

Message 1051

Hello? How did you get in here? What? [questg] asked you to bring [him/her] some [item]? Oh my... do you have any idea what he plans to do with it? I do. [item] is part of a potion that my loving brother likes to make. A potion that kills. You must not give it to [him/her]! Please! Bring the [item] to me. You must do this or I may be killed!

Message 1060

I'll take it, I guess. But doesn't this ruin the surprise? You are a strange one, [your name].

Message 1061

Thank you. My brother cannot use it now. You have done well.
