Quest Complete
Is that a hint of sorrow on your brow, [your first name]? I quite understand. I have on more than one occasion had to slay an offspring of mine. You must try to rise above this mawkish mortal regard for propagation. What you have had to do is lamentable, but you must chill your blood to truly become one of [your vampire clan]. You have made a step toward that, for which you deserve congratulations.
Rumors During Quest
The grave of [vampire] must have been robbed. It's all ... torn up.
There's been a lot of activity around [the dungeon] lately. At night.

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.

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.

Quest Log Entry
[vamp's town] [vamp's place] My Dear [your name], Perhaps you remember a warrior you met once, [vampire]? Taut, succulent, slightly thin-blooded, but all in all, a memorable meal. Well, [he/she]'s back from the grave now. [your vampire clan] have rather mixed emotions about your progeny's existence. Come see me and we'll discuss it. Yours in Death, [vamp]
Message 1011
A pale young boy slips a letter into your hand and disappears, nimble as a rat.
Message 1012
[the quest date]: [vamp] of [your vampire clan] sent me a letter, asking for my immediate presence in [vamp's place] at a place called [vamp's town].
Message 1013
Ah, good evening to you, blood of my blood. We have a problem, you and I. One of your old meals has come back out of the grave. [vampire]? I don't know if the name means anything to you. In any case, we have been watching [him/her], as we watched you, to see if [his/her] response to immortality is worthy of [his/her] bloodline. It has not been. With every drop of blood [he/she] drinks, [his/her] thirst increases tenfold. A mad, virgin vampire loose in the region is a threat to all civilized vampiric business. Go to [the dungeon] and slay this troublesome child of yours. It is unpleasant business, but it is your responsibility. I will expect to see you again in [quest time] nights with the deed completed. Farewell.
Message 1014
[the quest date]: [vamp] has sent me to [the dungeon] where I am to slay [vampire], a vampire I created. I have [quest time] nights to do this duty and report back to [vamp's place].
Message 1015
Better not spare that rod, my parent. You'll spoil me.
I know you. You were the last face I saw, smeared with the blood of my body. Come, my dear creator, let us embrace.
Your face is the face of my nightmare, [your name]. You are the one who cursed me to this life, aren't you?
Message 1016
[vampire] dies at last a true death.
