Protect an Honored Mage

Questor Offer

I am [quest giver], servant to the mighty [sleepingmage]. I have been instructed to find guild members to protect [him/her] while [he/she] lies in a spell trance. [sleepingmage] suspects that a rival of [his/her] may send assassins to slay [him/her] while [he/she] is helpless. [He/she] will give you an ensorcelled [magicitem] if the assassins are stopped. Will you take up this quest?

It is a very great honor, my dear [your first name], to be selected to aid the famous [sleepingmage], whom I trust you have heard of before. Yes, [he/she] has specifically asked for you to guard [him/her] while [he/she] sleeps. Obviously, a mage of such standing has enemies jealous of [his/her] enormous power. I trust you will accept this honor?

Refuse Quest

Hmmm. Guild members are normally more helpful. I am sure [sleepingmage] will remember this.

Accept Quest

As I expected. [sleepingmage] is just beginning his three-hour trance, so you must guard [magesguild] during that time and protect him while he is vulnerable. At the end of his trance, he will be transported to the Aetherius. Once he is safe, the Guild will send someone with your reward.

Quest Complete

A young woman in deep blue robes bows low before you. "The Guild sends its compliments on a job well done. [sleepingmage] is most grateful. Here is the [magicitem] [he/she] promised."

Rumors Postsuccess

[sleepingmage] was attacked while [he/she] slept, but [he/she] was defended by a guard.

Questor Postsuccess

For what you've done for [sleepingmage], of course, I'm happy to help you.

Questor Postfailure

[sleepingmage] has disappeared, and you were to guard [him/her], [your first name]. I have nothing to say to you. At least, nothing nice.

Message 1011

Stand aside, apprentice whelp! We mean to cut down [sleepingmage] before he can awaken. Move or we'll cut you down, too.

Message 1012

Fool! You should know better than to disturb a mage in a spell trance. You shall pay for this! Leave this guild hall now. I will bring this matter before the Circle.

Message 1013

If you kill me, you will be thrown out of the Mages Guild! Leave now or suffer the consequences.

Message 1014

I claim bounty on this oath- breaker to the Mages Guild, for the death of [sleepingmage].
