The Possessed Child

Questor Offer

Would you be willing to assist in an exorcism, [your title]?

[guardian], a local knight, has entreated us to help [his/her] ward, who has been showing signs of daedric possession. Would you be willing to assist with the exorcism, if that's what the situation requires?

Refuse Quest

That's unfortunate. I hope we can find someone else then.

Accept Quest

Would you? [an oath], you have a heart as big as [the region], [your title]. The child's name is [child], [he/she]'s a [child] over at [house] here in [house's town], but the person you'll want to speak with is [his/her] guardian, [guardian] over in [tavern]. If based on what [he/she] has to say, you feel that an exorcism is in order, go see [priest] in [house3] of [house3's town]. I'll expect this whole unfortunate affair to be resolved in [quest time] days and to see you here then. Good luck, [a god] be with you.

Quest Complete

Thank [a god] that situation's resolved. You can never really tell from the start whether an exorcism is really merited or not. You've done well, [your first name]. Accept this [reward] as a small token of our thanks for your efforts.

Rumors During Quest

Poor little [child]. And poor [guardian] having to watch [his/her] ward suffer so.

The heart of [house's place] has really gone out to [child] and [his/her] terrible crisis.

Rumors Postfailure

[child] and [guardian] left [guardian's place].

We'll never know if [child] was really possessed.

Rumors Postsuccess

Everyone's thanking [a god] for the [your race] who saved little [child]'s life.

Everything turned out all right for little [child], so maybe [a god] does care.

Questor Postsuccess

You helped [quest giver's town] in that exorcism. What can I do for you?

Questor Postfailure

You left that child to suffer. I have nothing to say to you.

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: [quest giver] of [quest giver's place] wants me to see if a [child] named [child] in [house] is a victim of possession, and, if so, to cure [him/her]. I am to talk first with [his/her] guardian, [guardian] of [tavern].

Message 1011

You've come from [quest giver's town]? Please tell me you can help little [child], I can't stand to see [him/her] suffer so. I don't know what to do with [him/her]. Please, take a look at [him/her] and then see if you can persuade that [priest] to help. [child] has always been such a sweet [child], but now ... If you want to see [him/her], [he/she] is at [house]. I don't know what else I can do.

Message 1012

You're from [quest giver's town]? Thank [a god] you're here. They say you can get to [priest], the exorcist in [house3] and [he/she] has some special [item] for possessions like this. I can't convince [priest] to get me the [item] myself, but someone like you with the authority of [quest giver's town] could. Go to [house3's town] and talk to [him/her]. I know you can convince [him/her].

Message 1013

[the quest date]: [guardian], the guardian of [child], asked me to look at the child and then see if [priest] of [house3], [house3's town] needs to perform an exorcism or not. [child] is in [house].

Message 1014

[the quest date]: [guardian], the guardian of [child] asked me to go to [house3] in [house3's town] to ask [priest] for some special [item] to exorcise the daedric spirit from the child.

Message 1015

"[daedra] ... oh, [an oath] ... [daedra] is out of me ... but ... it's still here." [child] runs away. And you can, indeed, feel an alien presence in [house].

Message 1016

Oh, [an oath], [an oath] ... I feel ... so much better. [guardian] told me that the [item] would help us, and [he/she] was right. Oh thank you, kind [your title]. I'll keep this [item] for protection. Goodbye!

Message 1017

Gruh, you colly-eyed mortal greel, I would open all your veins and swim in your blood, steaming. They call me [daedra], the licker of cat droppings!

Poor little [child], [he/she]'s rotting in Oblivion, and no one will help [him/her], but kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind [daedra].

There once was a girl named Vivian, Who met [daedra] of Oblivion, They decided to mate, and later they ate [child], their child, yum, yum.

Message 1018

I'm sorry, [your first name], but I can't give [item] to just anyone who suspects they know a victim of possession. It's far too rare and expensive. You're going to have to at least see the child before I agree to parting with the [item].

Message 1019

[daedra]? [child] did mention the name [daedra]? Well, if this possession is a sham, it is at least a well-researched one. Here then is the [item]. Just hold it with you when you next speak with the child. But beware, the daedra [child] mentioned is a Daedroth of great power. When the exorcism is complete, it will leave [him/her] and appear elsewhere in [house]. Be ready for a battle when it does. Good luck, [your first name]. [a god] be with you.

Message 1020

[the quest date]: I don't know who [daedra] is, but that was the name [child] spoke when I saw [him/her]. That [child] is possessed, mad, or the best actor in [house's place]. It may be a good time to see the exorcist in [house3's town], [priest] in [house3].

Message 1021

Good [your first name], I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for [child]. Now [he/she]'s a happy, normal child again. I've told [quest giver] at your [quest giver's town] as such and [he/she]'s eager to congratulate you. Once again, thank you.

Message 1022

I can tell you where that [guardian], [guardian] slipped off to, sure. But until you got fifty gold to spare for the info, I don't know nothing.

Message 1023

Good day to thee, [your title]. You're probably looking for that [guardian], [guardian], who slipped out of here after boasting about stealing some kind of [item] from [quest giver's town]. If you have fifty gold pieces to spare a friend, I could let you know where [guardian] went. What do you say?

Message 1024

Nice doing business with you, [your first name]. You'll find that [guardian] over in [house2].

Message 1025

"Don't hurt me!" [guardian] hands you the [item] and flees.

Message 1026

[the quest date]: [hooker], a [hooker] over at [tavern] told me (for fifty gold pieces) that that [guardian] ran to [house2] after [child] stole the [item] from me. The possession was obviously a scam, and [priest] and [quest giver] will want the [item] back. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [this place] occurs 3 times. -- [he/she] occurs 19 times. -- [him/her] occurs 17 times. -- [his/her] occurs 9 times. -- [a god] occurs 8 times. -- [an oath] occurs 4 times. -- [your first name] occurs 8 times. -- [your title] occurs 5 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 5 times. -- [your race] occurs 1 time. -- [the region] occurs 1 time. -- [child] occurs 4 times. -- [daedra] occurs 9 times. -- [guardian] occurs 3 times. -- [quest time] occurs 1 time. -- [sneaker] occurs 1 time. -- [guardian's place] occurs 1 time. -- [quest giver's place] occurs 1 time. -- [house3's town] occurs 5 times. -- [house's town] occurs 1 time. -- [quest giver's town] occurs 7 times. -- [child] occurs 24 times. -- [guardian] occurs 13 times. -- [house2] occurs 3 times. -- [house3] occurs 6 times. -- [house] occurs 6 times. -- [item] occurs 18 times. -- [priest] occurs 10 times. -- [quest giver] occurs 3 times. -- [reward] occurs 1 time. -- [hooker] occurs 1 time. -- [tavern] occurs 4 times.
