The Loose Pet Imp

Questor Offer

You may call me [quest giver]. Normally I can only give work to guild members. However, one of my students has a minor problem that would be embarrassing if it were to get out. I can't pay you, but if you would be willing to chase down an escaped experiment, at small risk to yourself, I would be grateful enough to speak kindly of you to other guild members.

Refuse Quest

So, why did you ask me for work? Sometimes I really cannot understand you common adventurers.

Accept Quest

Good. My student keeps a pet imp. These magical creatures are not very dangerous, but it could be potentially embarrassing for him. Our scrying has determined that the imp has fled to [the dungeon]. Kill the thing and report back to me within [first part time] days.

Quest Fail

I scried earlier today. The imp is still alive. What are you doing here?

Quest Complete

What a relief. I owe you a small debt [your name]. You have improved your favor with the Mages Guild.

Rumors During Quest

I hear something escaped from the Mages Guild lab the other night.

[an oath], I saw a small shape skulking in the shadows last night.

Rumors Postfailure

Well, there's a minor scandal involving the Mages Guild's lab security.

The Mages Guild lost another experiment apparently.

Rumors Postsuccess

I hear they torture imps in the Mages Guild laboratories!

Those imps have a mean streak. [a name]'s house was overrun with mice, just for chasing after it with a broom.

I heard an imp familiar escaped from the Mages Guild. They say that a wizard that loses his familiar is vulnerable to his enemies' spells.

Questor Postsuccess

How are you, [your first name]? No more troubles with imps, I hope, eh?

Questor Postfailure

I sent you off after that imp, if you recall. I don't see any reason why I should waste my breath with you again.

Quest Log Entry

"I would rather die than go back to the Mages Guild laboratory."
