What people say

Questor Offer

A certain merchant needs to have a monster, a gargoyle to be precise, dispatched. The pay is a modest [gold] gold pieces. Can I have your help in this matter?

Refuse Quest

Hmmm. Not the brave, heroic sort I guess.

Accept Quest

It seems this merchant hired a wizard to build him a grand mansion. Then the poor fool tried to cheat the mage of his wages. The wizard grew angry and animated one of the stone gargoyles on the new mansion. It has been attacking the merchant ceaselessly. Go out to [the dungeon] and kill the thing. You've got [2dung] days to complete the task.

Quest Complete

Hail to the hero, [your name]! Well done! This paltry fee of [gold] is hardly a worthy reward for such a deed.

Rumors During Quest

The Mages Guild has refused to kill that rampaging gargoyle. They claim it's not their fault. Lazy bastards.

Rumors Postfailure

Some merchant was killed recently. I hear that a gargoyle was seen hovering over his body.

Rumors Postsuccess

The Fighters Guild took out a gargoyle. Those guys are good to have around.

Questor Postsuccess

Well done with the gargoyle [your name].

Questor Postfailure

That gargoyle killed the merchant. You should never have taken the job. Now you've made yourself and the guild look bad.

The [monster] is dead. Hopefully that foolish merchant has learned never to cheat a mage.
