What people say

Questor Offer

Thou art friend to [quest giver's faction], this we know. But to help thee, a spell must be woven, a spell that first must destroy before it createth. Wilt thou bring to us a [magicitem] for our brew, so thou might be blessed by its ruination?

Refuse Quest

Too employed art thou to do this task, even knowing its importance? Unfortunate for [quest giver's faction], and unfortunate for thee, [your name].

Accept Quest

The [magicitem] we need is held by [other's faction]. We require it before the day has dawned [first part time] times. [other's faction] can be found in [other's place]. Ask after [other]. Let the gods and spirits guide thy feet, [your first name].

Quest Fail

The [magicitem], [your first name]. Hast thou forgot?

Quest Complete

Ah, there is the [magicitem] we need for our spell. Quickly, sisters, rend it and rip it and boil it in a covered tub. Here have we a lump of [reward] for thee, [your name], to thank thee for thy speed and valor.

Rumors During Quest

Remember that time when the Witches transformed our old [the ruler's title] into a snail?

The only thing worse than meeting [quest giver's faction] is invoking their ire.

Rumors Postfailure

I heard a howl in the woods last night. I'd say the Witches are on a rampage.

Smell that sour smell in the breeze? That means [quest giver's faction] are angry.

Rumors Postsuccess

They say [quest giver's faction] have been celebrating the completion of some scheme.

You can get drunk on the smell in the air. A blessing from happy witches.

Questor Postsuccess

Dost thou like thy [reward], [your first name]? It suits thee, I think.

Questor Postfailure

Hast thou forgot the [magicitem]? [an oath], 'tis too late now. But the [quest giver's faction] art disappointed, [your first name]. Truly, we are.

Quest Log Entry

The [magicitem] you want? Yours for a thousand. Very good, here you go.
