What people say

Questor Offer

[your first name], I may be in very great trouble indeed. It would appear that one of my former associates, in an effort to make my life more hellish, has passed some counterfeit gold bricks to me. Innocently I passed them on to four of my most valued allies in return for services rendered. I obviously must retrieve those bricks before they discover that the gold is foscarium, which may be in [2mondung] days or less. I am paying about [reward1] gold pieces for each bar of false gold that you can retrieve. Sound agreeable?

Refuse Quest

No? Really? Very well. Someone else will be more agreeable, I'm certain of that.

Accept Quest

[an oath], that's good. Now, one of the bars is in a bank called [depository] in [depository's town]; one is in a stronghold called [the dungeon]; one is in [palace's town] at the palace there; the last is in [mansion] in [mansion's town]. Now, recall that you only have [2mondung] days for this, and I'd rather have one in that time than all four. Good luck, [your first name]. [a god] bless your journey.

Quest Fail
