What people say

Questor Offer

Some woodsmen have hired the guild to kill a spriggan. Seems the monster is attacking them when they are out in the woods logging. Want to take a hack at it [your name]?

Refuse Quest

Fair enough. Run along. I've got to find someone to take this job.

Accept Quest

Two attempted ambushes have failed. The spriggan is just too smart. You'll have to go to its lair, in [the dungeon]. Get back to me within [2dung] days and I'll have [gold] gold waiting for you.

Quest Fail

The spriggan is kindling? You are proving yourself to be quite reliable, [your title].

Quest Complete

Here is your [gold] gold as promised.

Rumors During Quest

I hear [woodsman] is stirring up the woodsmen against the spriggans. Funny. I've never known the spriggans to cause us trouble before.

Rumors Postfailure

Another woodsman died. I hear it was [woodsman]. The rest of them have decided to log elsewhere.

Rumors Postsuccess

I haven't heard about that spriggan lately. Must have left the area.

Questor Postsuccess

Well done work with that spriggan.

Questor Postfailure

Spriggans aren't so tough. What happened? You got scared and hid?

Quest Log Entry

On [the quest date], The Fighters Guild of [quest giver's place] hired me to kill a spriggan that is molesting woodsmen. It's hiding in [the dungeon]. I was given [2dung] days to get the job done.

Message 1011

The spriggan is dead. Those woodsmen can log in safety now.

Message 1020

You attack me without cause, [your race]. Yes I did wreak vengeance upon the slayers of wood. Know that they did slay seedlings of mine. Would you stand rooted while someone slew your seedlings? I have no quarrel with you. Convince the woodsmen to prune with care, and I shall leave them in peace. Will you take this mission up?

Message 1021

The main culprit is [woodsman], who hacks down trees without care. Go to [woodsman's town] in [woodsman's place] and secure [his/her] promise. Do not visit me again. I shall know of your success or failure by how the woodsmen do their work.

Message 1022

I should have known better than to trust a creature of flesh. Now I shall give you no quarter.

Message 1023

So the tree creature wants to cut a deal, eh? Well I suppose I can convince the boys to only log the big trees. But if his kind attack us again, we'll burn every sapling we can find! You've got yourself a deal, [your name].

Message 1025

You worked it so the woodsmen and the spriggan ain't fightin'? Very clever [your name]. You'll go far if you keep those wits sharp.

Message 1030

[the quest date]: The spriggan has convinced me that it is not the villain. Apparently a woodsman named [woodsman] in [woodsman's town], [woodsman's place] has been cutting down its trees. If I can get [woodsman] to agree to log the forest more carefully, this whole thing can be settled without bloodshed.

Message 1080

By the way, since I'm feelin' charitable, here's a map to a hole called [newdung's place]. Full of monsters needin' killing, treasure to loot, the works. Have fun. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [your name] occurs 5 times. -- [your title] occurs 2 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 2 times. -- [your race] occurs 1 time. -- [2dung] occurs 2 times. -- [the dungeon] occurs 2 times. -- [house's place] occurs 2 times. -- [newdung's place] occurs 1 time. -- [quest giver's place] occurs 1 time. -- [gold] occurs 4 times. -- [woodsman] occurs 5 times.
