What people say

Questor Offer

I like you, kid. This assignment ain't for just anyone. Seems there's a flock of flyin' carnivores -- harpies -- who are making a bunch of travelling merchants real nervous. Will [reward] gold get you over to [the dungeon] and a little hackin' 'n slashin'?

Refuse Quest

Too bad. Seemed like a pretty damn generous deal to me.

Accept Quest

Okay then. There are five of these beauties in [the dungeon], and they all gotta be dead in [first part time] days or no deal. And a word of advice: you get back here in [first part time] days but get to [the dungeon] as soon as possible or those harpies are gonna migrate and you'll be outta luck. Okay kid, good luck and get outta here.

Quest Fail

Listen kid, I know I'm a charmer, but them harpies are waiting, and make sure to get all five of 'em, get it?

Quest Complete

Awright, kid, good goin'. That's [reward] gold your way. Not too shabby.

Rumors During Quest

Someone went up to check out [the dungeon] recently and was torn to shreds.

I only hope those harpies keep migrating south.

Rumors Postfailure

I hear the harpies soiled their nest at [the dungeon] and had to move on.

Those harpies are following the merchants' caravans like a moveable feast.

Rumors Postsuccess

The harpies were a real economic problem. Things should get better now.

I hear they found thousands and thousands of eggs over in that harpy nest.

Questor Postsuccess

Hey! The [your race] who took care of those Harpies is back.

Questor Postfailure

You're the [your race] that couldn't even take care of a bunch of Harpies. Pathetic.

That's five. That should be enough to hold [quest giver].

Message 1030
