What people say
Questor Offer
You are a loyal member of the Mages Guild, are you not, [your title]? I have some guild business of the gravest import that I would like you to handle.
Refuse Quest
Perhaps you are not as loyal as I thought.
Accept Quest
Very good. There is a rebel mage that we need eliminated, by the name of [rebel]. A former pupil of mine, showed some promise but lacked the loyalty to the ancient principles of the Guild that are so important to its continued survival. We have learned that [he/she] is currently doing some kind of unsanctioned research over in [rebelhouse's place], apparently oblivious to the danger. You have [qtime] days to dispose of this menace and report back to me.
Quest Fail
Begone, [your name].
Quest Complete
I made this [reward] myself as a token of my appreciation for your service to the Mages Guild.
Message 1020
[the quest date]: I have undertaken to find and destroy a rebel mage, who currently resides in [rebelhouse's place]. Once I have disposed of this mage, [rebel], I am to report back to [quest giver] of [quest giver's place]'s Mages Guild. I have [qtime] days.
Message 1021
[the quest date]: I agreed to spare [rebel]'s life. He said I should just tell [quest giver] that I found no sign of [rebel] in [rebelhouse's place], except for a letter which he gave me.
Message 1030
So, [quest giver] has sent another of [his/her] lackeys to bring me to heel. The old men who run the Mages Guild have no sense of adventure, take no risks, dare nothing, and learn nothing. I have never lifted a finger against them, except to repudiate their control. Yet, simply because I refuse to abide by their rules, the Mages Guild would slay me! Why do you give them your blind obedience, killing on command like a hired assassin? Join me and we will defy them all!
Message 1031
Wonderful! Just tell old [quest giver] that I was not here, but left this letter for [him/her]. I must depart, but I will contact you as soon as I can cook us up a truly smashing adventure. Ta ta!
Message 1032
Well then, I shall have to convince you the hard way. Defend yourself, mageling!
Message 1040
Dear [quest giver], So sorry I missed you. I would love to catch up on old times with you. Do you remember the days when I dutifully learned at your knee, as if you had more to teach me than the stale repetition of past greatness? [mage1], the Archmagister [mage3] -- in their day the Mages Guild was an institution worthy of respect. No more. I cannot offer my allegiance to a Guild whose sole purpose is to quash all original thought. If you send more of your enforcers against me, I will be forced to defend myself. Consider yourself warned. Your humble pupil, [rebel]
Message 1041
Why... that impertinent! I am speechless! You can now see why [rebel] must be stopped at all costs, before he undermines everything the Guild stands for. It is unfortunate that you missed that miserable little sot, but I have no doubt that we will soon track him down again.
Message 1042
Very good, [your title]. The Mages Guild cannot survive if we do not enforce our own rules, harsh as they may seem.
Message 1050
Stop this pointless attack, and join me instead!
Message 1051
Surely you are ready to concede my point? We could have such fun together!
Message 1052
[quest giver] has taught you persistence, at least. But why remain a slave to the rules and regulations of the hidebound? Join my merry band of Guild defiers!
Message 1053
You are beginning to try my patience, but I will give you one last chance. Cease your attack, and I will let bygones be bygones.
Message 1060
Perhaps we should take this outside.
Message 1061
Yoo-hoo, over here!
Message 1062
Did [quest giver] forget to tell you about my skill in magicka when [he/she] was preaching about my disloyalty and insubordination?
Message 1063
Missed me again, my good Guild Drone. Why haven't your Guild masters taught you these tricks? -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [he/she] occurs 5 times. -- [him/her] occurs 3 times. -- [his/her] occurs 2 times. -- [your name] occurs 2 times. -- [your title] occurs 2 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 2 times. -- [mage1] occurs 1 time. -- [mage3] occurs 1 time. -- [qtime] occurs 4 times. -- [quest giver's place] occurs 1 time. -- [rebelhouse's town] occurs 3 times. -- [quest giver] occurs 8 times. -- [rebel] occurs 6 times. -- [reward] occurs 1 time.
