What people say

Questor Offer

I am desperate. The Dark Brotherhood has taken my child [child] and will kill [him/her] if I do not pay a ransom. I do not have enough to buy [his/her] freedom, but I can pay you [money] gold pieces if you will free [him/her].

My child, my poor [child] is gone, stolen away by the Dark Brotherhood for [a god] knows what hideous purpose. You must help me, [your first name]. I'll give you all I have, [money] gold, if you will bring my child back home to me.

Refuse Quest

This is a dark day for me. [child] will surely be slain by the Dark Brotherhood. May [his/her] ghost haunt you for the rest of your days!

Accept Quest

You are my savior! My name is [quest giver]. Quickly now, for you only have [timeforq] days before they kill [child]. [He/she] is being held in [dbguild] in [dbguild's town].

[child]? Where is [he/she]? Why haven't you brought [him/her] back yet? If you would save [his/her] life, go now!

Quest Complete

[child]! You are alive and well! [your first name], I owe you a debt that can never be fully repaid. This modest reward is the least that I can give you.

Rumors During Quest

The Dark Brotherhood has gone too far this time. Kidnapping [quest giver]'s child is unforgivable.

I don't think that [quest giver] will survive the season. [He/she]'ll probably commit suicide. You did hear that the Dark Brotherhood kidnapped and slew [his/her] child, [child]?

Rumors Postsuccess

You're that [your race] that rescued baby [child]! What a hero.

Questor Postsuccess

The savior of my child! I thank you and [child] thanks you for saving [his/her] life. Bless you [your first name].

Questor Postfailure

My child [child] is dead because of you! Never darken my doorway again.
