What people say

Questor Offer

[your title], I have a dangerous mission for you. I will tell you up front it involves slaying a rather powerful undead creature. Are you still willing to undertake this task for [quest giver's town]?

Refuse Quest

Well, I certainly cannot blame you. I myself would not dare it.

Accept Quest

Your courage honors our order, [your first name]. We wish to begin cleansing a place called [the dungeon]. Long ago it was one of our temples, but its desecrated corridors are now haunted by some undead apparition. You must slay this unquiet spirit and sprinkle its body with this specially prepared holy water. If you have not returned in [qtime] days I will burn incense for your departed soul and send someone else to avenge you. May [a god] go with you.

Quest Fail

[your title], if you did not wish to help cleanse [the dungeon], you should have told me so before.

Quest Complete

Praise [a god], you have returned safely! Our seers already reported that the evil within [the dungeon] had been cleansed. You have done well in the service of [quest giver's town].

Rumors During Quest

[quest giver's town] is planning to restore [the dungeon] to its former glory.

Rumors Postfailure

It looks like the evil within [the dungeon] is too strong for [quest giver's town] to drive out.

Rumors Postsuccess

[quest giver's town] sent one of their order to begin cleansing [the dungeon].

Questor Postsuccess

Greetings, [your first name]. Your foray into [the dungeon] was a great help to us.

Questor Postfailure

What can I do for you? You failed me when I asked you for help with the evil spirit of [the dungeon].

Message 1020

[the quest date]: [quest giver] of [quest giver's town] in [quest giver's place] has sent me to slay an undead creature haunting [the dungeon]. [He/she] gave me a vial of specially prepared holy water which I must sprinkle on the monster's body in order to prevent its spirit from returning. I have [qtime] days to return to [quest giver] or [he/she] will have to send someone else.

Message 1021

[the quest date]: [quest giver] of [quest giver's town] in [quest giver's place] has sent me to slay an undead creature haunting [the dungeon]. First, however, I must visit [priest] in [priest's town] of [priest's place], who will place the final blessing on a vial of specially prepared holy water. I need to sprinkle it on the monster's body in order to prevent its spirit from returning to [the dungeon]. I have [qtime] days to return to [quest giver] or [he/she] will have to send someone else.

Message 1050

Ah, wait, I am so forgetful these days! You first need to take the holy water to [priest], of [priest's town] in [priest's place]. [He/she] will place the final blessing on it.

Message 1051

[priest] takes the vial from you without a word. [He/she] gravely blesses it, then you. [He/she] hands it back and returns to [his/her] meditations.

Message 1060

"I am [monster1]! You may slay my material form, but I will always return to my home here in [the dungeon]!"

Message 1061

As you sprinkle the holy water over [monster1]'s remains, a despairing wail echoes through the dark halls of [the dungeon], slowly fading into the distance. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [he/she] occurs 6 times. -- [his/her] occurs 2 times. -- [a god] occurs 3 times. -- [your first name] occurs 2 times. -- [your title] occurs 2 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 2 times. -- [monster1] occurs 2 times. -- [qtime] occurs 3 times. -- [the dungeon] occurs 23 times. -- [priest's place] occurs 2 times. -- [quest giver's place] occurs 2 times. -- [priest's town] occurs 2 times. -- [quest giver's town] occurs 11 times. -- [priest] occurs 3 times. -- [quest giver] occurs 4 times.
