What people say
Questor Offer
Yes, as a matter of fact, thou could help us, [your first name]. We are an isolated coven, viewed with fear and hostility in the outside world. If thou would procure for us a certain rare tome being held for us in [contact's place], we would be happy to give you, say, a special [mitem] personally created for you.
Refuse Quest
Well, then we shall wait for the next wandering traveler. Our need is not that desperate.
Accept Quest
Wouldst thou? The name of the tome is [book] -- a very rare book indeed. Even if one were to find a copy, the price would be quite prohibitive. We are lucky, therefore, to have a friend in [contact's place], a [contact] named [contact] who has stolen a copy. If thou wouldst meet [him/her] at [contact's town], [he/she] will give thee the book. We will expect thee back in [quest time] days. After that time, the book will be of no use to us. May [daedra's faction] watch thy journey.
Quest Complete
Ah, there it is. I hoped you had an opportunity to peruse the page, good [your first name]. You are not likely to find its like again very soon. Well, here is your [mitem].
Rumors During Quest
[contact] is under some suspicion. They say [he/she] consorts with witches.
[contact], some say, is a secret witch.
Rumors Postfailure
[contact] was arrested and burned at the stake. Serves [him/her] right.
Poor [contact] never could keep [his/her] mouth shut. Well, 'tis shut now.
Rumors Postsuccess
That [contact] was arrested, but they didn't find [book].
They caught [contact], but [he/she] wasn't apparently the [contact] who stole [book]
Questor Postsuccess
Oh, hello, [your first name]. I was just reading [book] -- the copy thou got for us.
Questor Postfailure
[book] is lost, probably forever. Now is not the time to speak. Go, leave [quest giver's faction]. Thou art not wanted now.
Quest Log Entry
[the quest date]: [quest giver's faction] have sent me to [contact's place] to meet a [contact] named [contact] at [contact's town] about a very rare book. I am to return the book to [quest giver's faction] in [quest time] days or less.
Message 1011
Awright, [your first name], here's the book. Just watch yourself. The guards are combing [contact's place] for that thing.
Message 1012
Stop! Thief!
