What people say

Questor Offer

Noble [warrior] has sponsored the Guild in many of our enterprises, and as we have made enemies, so has [he/she]. We have word from [him/her] courier that a witch has cursed [him/her] with unending insomnia. A simple Sleep spell would cure [him/her] -- perhaps you are willing and able to cast it? I would willingly pay you [gold] gold.

If you are capable of casting the standard circinate spell Sleep, a friend of the Guild is in need. [warrior] has been cursed and is in need of that somniferous spell. I can offer you [gold] gold pieces in exchange for this service.

Refuse Quest

I see. [an oath], Sleep is a relatively simple spell. It would probably do you well to learn it.

Accept Quest

Very good. Now, I told the courier that we wouldn't use any spell but Sleep on [warrior]. Given [him/her] previous experience with cursed spells, you can hardly blame [him/her] for this anxiety. You'll find [warrior] in [castle] in [castle's town]. [warrior] will be the well-armored one. Be certain to be back in [quest time] days, with our friend in sound sopor.

Quest Complete

I hear that [warrior] dropped into sublime torpescence right on [his/her] feet. I do hope [he/she] wakes before next New Life. As for you, my fine [your race], you have certainly earned your [gold] gold pieces.

Rumors During Quest

Poor [warrior] has been awake for days. I think [his/her] sanity is going.

The witch who cursed [warrior] with sleeplessness really did a job on [him/her].

Rumors Postfailure

[warrior] and the Mages Guild are at odds. They couldn't help [him/her].

[warrior] made peace with the witches, but hasn't forgiven the Mages Guild.

Rumors Postsuccess

[warrior] is still sleeping, I hear. Now they're afraid [he/she]'ll never wake up.

The witch who cursed [warrior] has vowed vengeance on the man who cured [him/her].

Questor Postsuccess

You helped us maintain good relations with [warrior]. What may I do for you?

Questor Postfailure

You failed the Guild when you failed our friend [warrior]. Go from here. Perhaps in time I may forgive thee, [your name].

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: I have agreed to cast Sleep on [warrior], a patron of the Mages Guild of [quest giver's place]. I have [quest time] days to get to [castle] in [castle's town] where [warrior] lives, cast the spell successfully, and return to [quest giver] in the Mages Guild.
