What people say

Questor Offer

I am [quest giver]. You are not a member of this knightly order. We are not sure if you can be trusted yet. If you were to slay the leader of the bandit band of orcs troubling our area, it might change our minds. Do you have the stomach for such work?

Refuse Quest

Why am I not surprised? Come back when you are ready to earn our respect.

Accept Quest

Kill as many orcs as you can, but be sure to kill their leader, [monster]. The foul band is hiding up in [the dungeon]. If you're not back in [2dung] days, I will know you are the coward everyone says you are.

Quest Complete

Hmmm. Maybe we should consider you for membership. Not a bad job at all, [your name].

Rumors During Quest

That orc tribe has eluded the knights so far.

That orc tribe would be lost without its leader.

Rumors Postfailure

The orcs will be back. Their leader still lives.

Rumors Postsuccess

Some [your race] came out of nowhere, slew the orc leader, and left.

Questor Postsuccess

What can I do for you, orc slayer?

Questor Postfailure

You are not worth my time, orc fancier.

Why would I talk to a lousy orc lover?

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: [quest giver] of the knightly order in [quest giver's place] gave me the task of wiping out an orc band that makes its home in [the dungeon]. In particular, I must get the leader, a certain [monster]. I need to get back to [him/her] in [2dung] days or [he/she] will assume I'm dead.

Message 1011

[monster] is dead. Without a leader, these orcs will never be more than a nuisance. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [he/she] occurs 1 time. -- [him/her] occurs 1 time. -- [your name] occurs 2 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 1 time. -- [your race] occurs 1 time. -- [2dung] occurs 2 times. -- [monster] occurs 3 times. -- [the dungeon] occurs 2 times. -- [quest giver's place] occurs 3 times.
