What people say

Questor Offer

How are you, [your first name]? If you need work, I've got somethin' for you. Standard protection job. Interested?

Refuse Quest

Sure, you're lookin' for more high-class work these days, right?

Accept Quest

All right. The client's name is [victim], over at [victimhouse] just up the street from here. [He/she] wants you over there right away. Seemed very agitated, you know the type. [He/she]'ll give you all the details when you get there.

Quest Fail

Dead? That's bad. You've got to get to the bottom of this one way or another, so stick with it.

Quest Complete

I don't know how I can thank you for saving my life, as well as avenging my father's death. Please accept this [reward]. It belonged to my father, and I would like you to have it.

Questor Postsuccess

Too bad about [victim], eh? Apparently he was in more danger than he realized.

Questor Postfailure

I know it wasn't your fault, but that business with [victim] still makes me feel bad. I shoulda taken the poor chap more seriously, I guess.

Message 1015

[darkb] lives in [darkb's place], I think. [He/she]'s always hanging around with sinister types, though, so don't go looking for [him/her] unless you're looking for trouble.

[darkb] hangs around in [darkb's place], mainly.

Message 1016

[darkb] is one of the leaders of the local Dark Brotherhood. [His/her] headquarters is in [darkb's town] in [darkb's place].

Message 1020

[the quest date]: The Fighters Guild of [quest giver's place] has sent me to [victimhouse] to meet with a client, [victim], who is in need of some protection. [victim] will give me the full details himself.

Message 1021

[the quest date]: I was too late. I surprised the assassins at [victimhouse], but [victim] was already dead.

Message 1022

[the quest date]: I received a note from [daughter], who says she is [victim]'s daughter. She asked me to come visit her at [daughterhouse] in [daughterhouse's town] if I get the chance.

Message 1023

[the quest date]: I went to meet [daughter], but it turned out to be an ambush. I fought my way free, and am now on my way to [safehouse] in [safehouse's town] with [daughter].

Message 1024

[the quest date]: [victim] was slain by the Dark Brotherhood. The trail has gone cold for now.

Message 1030

This is what happens to people who don't listen to my warnings. [darkb]

Message 1031

Dear [your name]: My name is [daughter], daughter of [victim]. When I heard of your heroic action in avenging my father's death, I wanted to thank you myself. I would be grateful if you could come see me, if you have time. [daughter] [daughterhouse], [daughterhouse's town]

Message 1035

Back off, mate, or we'll do you the same way we did [victim] over there.

Message 1036

You should spend as much time sharpening your wits as you do sharpening your blade, [your name]. Nothing is simpler than laying an ambush for you Fighters Guild thugs.

Message 1040

Did you hear about [victim]? Cut down in broad daylight in his own home.

Everyone knows the Dark Brotherhood killed [victim], but no one is willing to do anything about it.

Message 1041

The Dark Brotherhood is furious over some [your race] who killed one of their higher-ups.

The Dark Brotherhood has vowed to track down whoever broke into their headquarters in [darkb's place]. I'm sure glad it's not me they're after.

Message 1050

Yes...? Wait, you're that Fighters Guild musclehead poor old [victim] thought could protect him, aren't you? Who let this [your race] in here?!

Message 1051

[your name], look out! It's a trap!

Message 1052

Thank you from rescuing me from those assassins. If you could get me to [safehouse] in [safehouse's town], I can make my escape from [the region] on my own from there.

Message 1070

A dusty courier flags you down. "[your name]? Thank [a god], at last. This letter is for you."

Message 1071

Thank you for your help, but I'll go on my own from here.
