What people say

Questor Offer

Shhh! Don't let anyone else hear this, [your title]. I just got word that a dragon has been spotted! Well, not a full-grown dragon, just a little dragonling. There is no quest more heroic for a member of [quest giver's faction] than to slay a dragon. I know where it is, you go kill it. We can both lay claim to the glory. Is it a bargain?

'Tis time for you to prove that you are truly of [quest giver's faction], [your title]. It is time for you to slay a dragon.

Refuse Quest

You tell anyone else about this and I'll see you drummed out of [quest giver's faction].

Accept Quest

The dragon egg just hatched in [the dungeon]. I don't know if there are any other dragonlings there or not. I can keep it all a secret for [2dung] days.

All hail [your name], known from this point onward as a dragonslayer! All hail [quest giver], strong right arm and valued confidant!
