What people say

Questor Offer

As a matter of fact, we could doubtlessly use someone like you. There's a desecrated temple nearby called [the dungeon]. You may have heard of it. For some time, it has been a home to evil, but we have ignored its influence. It is a counterbalance to other forces, after all. Now the balance has been upset. I need someone to right it. Sound like something you could help with?

The Balance in [the dungeon] has been unbound by a new intrusion that threatens our efforts at bringing harmony to [the region]. We need a champion, someone like you, to set [the dungeon] to right. Will you do it?

Refuse Quest

Disappointing. Well, we'll find someone else doubtlessly.

Accept Quest

Excellent, [your first name]. What we need is to have a certain powerful lycanthrope who has established its lair in that unholy [the dungeon] slain. It is threatening the expansion of our order in that area. If you are not back here after [first part time] days have passed, we will move against it ourselves, and your reward will be forfeit. Obviously, you had best be on your way. Fare thee well and best of luck.

[an oath], that's good, [your first name]. Now, there are but [first part time] days we can give you to restore equilibrium in [the dungeon], and the fastest, most appropriate way we know of is for you to slay the lycanthrope who has made its foul nest in [the dungeon]'s bowels. Pray hurry, [your first name]. If you are not here when [first part time] suns have set, your reward with be forfeit.

Quest Fail

You had best move along, [your first name]. You do not have very much more time to kill that werebeast. [first part time] days to be precise.

Quest Complete

You have done a great service to the Temple of Arkay, [your first name]. One that will not be forgotten. Enjoy your [reward] gold -- you certainly deserve it.

Rumors During Quest

I've heard there's some kind of werewolf on the loose around here.

I hear the wereboar's found a lair in someplace called [the dungeon].

Didja hear that howling last night? Wolf howling?

Rumors Postfailure

Lupines are real nomads, I guess. I hear our loup moved down south.

My cousin tells me that our wereboar was spotted down south aways.

Rumors Postsuccess

I hear they found out that werewolf was a priest during the day!

A lot of people feel safer knowing that wereboar is dead.

You heard about that werecreature some [your race] hunted down?

Questor Postsuccess

How may I assist thee who restored the balance within [the dungeon]?

Questor Postfailure

You failed to slay that lupine, [your first name]. I am sorely aggrieved.
