What people say

Questor Offer

We have a new client who wants someone to hunt down an atronach, an elemental golem type critter. The pay is [gold] gold. Are you interested?

Refuse Quest

You must prefer the low-risk jobs, like hunting rats.

Accept Quest

A young dandy what I have sworn to keep unnamed, was screwing around with magic, illegally. Like a melonhead, he up and conjures an atronach. The thing's gotta be destroyed before those Mages Guild blokes find out. The thing fled into the depths of [the dungeon]. If you can do this quest in [2dung] days, you'll get paid.

Quest Complete

Bang-up job, [your title]. Those Mages Guild bananas ain't wise to our client's shenanigans. He'll be happy to pay up the [gold] gold pieces.

Rumors During Quest

The Viscount's son has not been himself lately. That's what he gets for trying to learn magic. Ought to stick to what he knows best.

Rumors Postfailure

The Mages Guild has requested that [the ruler's title] [the ruler] give them the right to punish the Viscount's son. It seems he summoned an atronach which went rogue.

Rumors Postsuccess

The Viscount's son joined the Mages Guild recently. Wonder why he changed his mind about them?

Questor Postsuccess

Atronachs zero, [your first name] one. You'll go far in the guild at this rate.

Questor Postfailure

You shouldn't have taken the job to kill the atronach if you couldn't handle it. Now the Viscount's son faces charges of illegal sorcery.

Quest Log Entry

On [the quest date], The Fighters Guild of [quest giver's place] hired me to discreetly off an atronach some non-guild mage summoned up. It's holed up in [dungeon's town]. I have [2dung] days to finish the task.

Message 1011

The atronach is dead. Hopefully the Mages Guild won't find out about it.
