What people say

Questor Offer

We have an anonymous job for you. It happens every now and then that someone pays us to remove someone, but never reveals why, or may even work through a go-between to keep their identity secret. At any rate, the job is yours if you want it.

Refuse Quest

Can't blame you for not wanting to get mixed up in this one.

Accept Quest

Go to [dungeon] of [the dungeon]. Your target has a scar on the left cheek. That's all we know. Come back in [first part time] days to collect your payment. Mephala bless your blade, [your name].

Quest Fail

I don't know who you think you've killed, but it wasn't the right target. Get your butt over to [dungeon] and do what we were contracted for.

Quest Complete

Beautiful, [your first name], truly. Brings tears to these weary eyes. As lovely an accounting as I've ever seen. I feel like writing a poem. Why don't you take your [reward] gold pieces and get the hell out of here so I can write a ballad about it. Seriously, I'm very proud, [your first name].

Rumors During Quest

Lovely weather.

Rumors Postfailure

They say the king is having an affair.

Rumors Postsuccess

If you ask me, our taxes are too high.

Questor Postsuccess

Good work with that anonymous job.

Questor Postfailure

Too bad you couldn't complete that anonymous job. Definitely a stain on your record.
