The Stolen Item

Questor Offer

Normally I would not give work to someone not a member of [quest giver's town]. However, we are short-handed right now. A brazen thief stole a [religitem] from the temple. A priest got a good look at the criminal. It was a common street thief, a [thief] named [thief] who was in the temple on that day, pretending to worship. Track down this thief and return our stolen [religitem], and I will speak well of you in the future.

Refuse Quest

I give you a chance and you spit in my face. Don't come looking to me for favors.

Accept Quest

You need to get it back within [travel time] days. By then our knightly order will be able to dispatch a search party and you will have lost your chance.

Quest Complete

All praises to you, [your name]. The [religitem] has been restored to the temple. You have earned the favor of [a god].

Rumors During Quest

[thief] is holed up in [thiefplace] in [thiefplace's town]. A good place to hide from [quest giver's town].

Rumors Postfailure

[quest giver's town] will never get that [religitem] back it seems.

Rumors Postsuccess

[thief] was brought to justice, and [quest giver's town] got their [religitem] back.

Questor Postsuccess

Don't think that I forgot who brought us our [religitem] already, [your first name].

Questor Postfailure

Our [religitem] is lost forever and you want to talk. Unbelievable.

[an oath]! The temple hired a bounty hunter just to get back their worthless [religitem]? [an oath], it sure ain't worth dying over. Here, take it. Now, we'll see if you think it's worth dying over... Help!! This [your race] is making off with our loot!

Message 1012

Intruder! Raise the alarm! There is an intruder in the building!

Message 1013

[thief]... The name sounds familiar, but I can't place it. I'm thinking maybe someone I ran into in [thiefplace's town]? Sorry I can't be more helpful.

A [decoy]? Sure, I know [him/her]. Lives in [decoy's place].

If you're talking about a [thief], [he/she] sounds like a little weasel from [thiefplace's town] who tried to pick my pocket once.

Message 1014

Sure, I know that squirrelly little sneak. Check out [thiefplace] in [thiefplace's town]. [thief]? Yeah, [he/she]'s "laying low" over at [thiefplace] in [thiefplace's town]. Not keeping too low a profile though, since you and I know where [he/she] is!
