The Lost Artifact

Questor Offer

I am [quest giver] of this knightly order. I have a most dangerous quest [your first name]. You are one of the few that could possibly take it on. A lich is raising an army of undead. We need someone to go in and put a stop to it.

Refuse Quest

I understand, [your name]. This is too dangerous even for you. There are one or two other heroes that might be able to pull this one off. I'll go ask them.

Accept Quest

You are brave indeed. The lich has made [the dungeon] into its lair. Go there and destroy the foul thing. In [2dung] days we will send out someone else, should you not return.

Quest Complete

Hail to the hero, [your name]! Well done! Your name shall be recorded in the histories.

Rumors During Quest

[the region] is bracing itself for the Lich's onslaught.

All [the region] is praying that [quest giver's faction] can kill that Lich.

Rumors Postfailure

The Lich has temporarily left [the dungeon]. Temporarily.

The Lich will return to [the dungeon]. That's a certainty.

Rumors Postsuccess

[the region] is saved, and we have [quest giver's faction] to thank.

A [your race] knight from [quest giver's faction] defeated that Arch-Lich.

Questor Postsuccess

It'd be rude of me not to help the rescuer of [the region], eh?

Questor Postfailure

You're lucky that Lich didn't destroy all [the region], [your first name].

[the region] was in serious danger from that Lich. And you didn't care.

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: [quest giver] of [quest giver's faction] in [quest giver's place] charged me with the duty of destroying the lich of [the dungeon]. I have [2dung] days to finish the task.

Message 1011

The lich is dead. Without his magical support, the army of undead will return to the grave.

Message 1020

...have found a clue at last! I dare not even name the lost artifact of ancient power that it points toward. It is too late for me. I will die down here in [the dungeon], lost among its dark passageways. First, I will hide my clue. If I cannot...

Message 1028

Sorry, [your name]. You didn't come back for so long that we thought you were dead. Another guild member took up the quest.

Message 1030

You trudged all the way down here to speak to me and now you don't want to continue? Inconceivable! Get out of my sight!

Message 1031

A pox upon you for disturbing me [your name]. [an oath], of course I know your name, and no I'm not going to tell you mine. What's the use in bein' a wizard if you can't know things normal folks don't. I also know why you're here. You want Chrysamere, except you didn't know it by name, did you? The only way you're gonna get it is if you do me a favor first.

Message 1035

You see, I don't actually know where your artifact is. My great grandfather once sought for it. According to family history, when he found it the Mages Guild took it from him and hid it somewhere. His spirit has never rested easy since. If you have this lock of my hair with you when his spirit is put to rest, he may tell you where to find what you seek. He haunts [the dungeon].

Message 1040

You hold a token of my lineage, a bit of hair from one of my decendants. Know ye that I have wandered these halls for long decades waiting for this sign. Go to the [mageguild] in [mageguild's town]. There you will find what I once lost.

Message 1041

[the quest date]: I have found [wizard] in [the dungeon]. I now must seek [his/her] great grandfather in [the dungeon], who may be able to tell me the location of the artifact. [wizard] has also given me a lock of [his/her] hair so that I may lay him to rest.

Message 1042
