What people say

Questor Offer

This little excursion is not for just anyone, but I feel you'd enjoy the challenge of the experience. We have a client who wants to call accounts on a member of the royal family of [the dungeon]. When I heard that, I thought of you. Interested?

Refuse Quest

Oh, well. Probably wise, but it does smack a little of ... dare I say, cowardice?

Accept Quest

I just knew you could not resist this one. Fair warning, your target, [knight] is no pampered princeling. The client is also one of the royal family, worried that [knight] is going to worm a way to the throne. And from what I've heard, [he/she] has the power to do just that. Our client wants [him/her] extinct in [first part time] days. We will give you that time to account and return to make your report. May Mephala walk with you, [your first name].

Quest Fail

I don't know who you think you've killed, but it wasn't [knight]. Get your butt over to the palace 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

I know what I'm talking about. [knight] is going to be our next ruler.

Someday [knight] is going to be our ruler. Then we'll know real tyranny.

Rumors Postfailure

[knight] left the court for a while, but [he/she]'ll be back. That's for certain.

And the royal opera continues. I wonder what made [knight] leave court.

Rumors Postsuccess

They ought to declare it a [the region] holiday. [knight] death day! Hooray!

I can't help but be suspicious about [knight]'s sudden death. Too convenient.

Questor Postsuccess

I'm still thinking about that knight's accounting. It was truly sublime, [your first name].

Questor Postfailure

I know it was a difficult assignment. Nigh impossible. But still, you failed, and I have no tolerance for failure.
