What people say

Questor Offer

[an oath], is there anything more exasperating than the discovery that the mummy wrappings you were planning on using in a potion have gone all sort-of green? I could use the Guild's wrappings, but the recipe specifically calls for "superlatively fresh mummy wrappings," whatever that means. I don't suppose you'd be willing to scare me up some cloth off a mummy I know has more wrapping than it knows what to do with?

Recipes are a daft business, [your title]. I'm working on a formula that calls for a "goodly piece of [mummy]." What is a [mummy]? An herb? A mineral? Well, I've researched the matter and found [mummy] is a mummy. Imagine that. And this particular mummy is right here in [the region]. Could I talk you into going to its tomb and grabbing a piece of [mummy] for, say, [gold] gold pieces?

Refuse Quest

Oh, [an oath]. I know it's not a swing by the local general store, but I had hoped for a little enthusiasm and adventurous whatnot.

Accept Quest

Jolly good, [your title]. It'll be worth [gold] gold to you. Now this mummy's tomb is not too far away at all, so it shouldn't take you any longer than [quest time] days to get there, make your grab, and get back. Remember, it's got to be fresh -- preferably off its body. The name of the place is something like [the dungeon]. It's sure to be gruesome there. You might want to bring a sword or some such thing. Well, good luck, young [your race].

Quest Complete

Now that is a lovely piece of wrapping. Thanks awfully. I believe we agreed on [gold] gold pieces, yes?

Rumors During Quest

[mummy] in [the dungeon] is supposedly all that's left of an ancient [the ruler's title] of [the region].

[mummy] was supposedly a [the ruler's title] in ancient [the region] who was too wicked to die.

Rumors Postfailure

I got a boil the other day ... but it healed.

I just had a three hour conversation about the weather.

The weather is pretty usual for this time of year.

It seems a trifle coolish in [this place] for this time of year.

It sure is a lot warmer today than this time last year.

My great aunt is going to a specialist across the Bay.

It's always funny what time it gets dark around here.

We should erect a war statue around here.

The kids these days with their magic. [an oath], I don't know.

I had the weirdest dream last night.

I heard a great joke. [a joke]

[a joke] Actually, that's a joke.

[a joke] Can you explain that to me?

The legal system in [the region] has its good points and bad ones.

Rumors Postsuccess

[mummy]'s reign in [the region] began before the First Era and ended with you.

[quest giver] finally can finish [his/her] potion thanks to [mummy]'s contribution.

Questor Postsuccess

How are you, [your first name]? I hope you aren't coming down with Mummy Rot or anything.

Questor Postfailure

I needed that wrapping, [your first name]. It's very annoying to need something and not have it.

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: [quest giver] of the Mages Guild in [quest giver's place] has sent me to [the dungeon] to grab some wrappings off of a mummy named [mummy]. I have [quest time] days to complete this quest.
