The Artifact

Questor Offer

A rumor has surfaced as to the whereabouts of an ancient artifact of power. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Are you up to it, [your title]?

Refuse Quest

Not the ambitious type, eh? Some other lucky knight will be sure to snap this one up.

Accept Quest

I thought I detected the gleam of ambition in your eyes [your first name]. Supposedly, a witch living deep in the bowels of [the dungeon] has discovered a clue about where to find this thing. I'd start with her.

Quest Complete

Your quest is complete.

It sure is a lot warmer today than this time last year.

My great aunt is going to a specialist across the Bay.

It's always funny what time it gets dark around here.

We should erect a war statue around here.

The kids these days with their magic. [an oath], I don't know.

I had the weirdest dream last night.

I heard a great joke. [a joke]

[a joke] Actually, that's a joke.

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: I embarked upon a quest to find a legendary artifact of power. The only clue [quest giver] of [quest giver's town] was able to provide is that a witch hermited in [the dungeon] might know something about it.

Message 1021

I am [witch]. So, you want [aurielshield]. It is true that I know something of it. You must do something for me if you wish to learn my secret. Long ago, when I was young and your grandfather was less than a gleam in your great grandmother's eye, I gave birth to a daughter. I left the child to be raised by others, but now that my powers are waning, I need an heir. My daughter is long dead, but I have a great granddaughter of the right age named [child]. Bring her to me within [finddaughter] days and I will tell you what I know of [aurielshield]. [child]'s parents know nothing of her birthright and will certainly resist any attempt to take her. You will find her in [palace] in [palace's town].
