What people say

Questor Offer

The whining peasants who work my land near [the dungeon] have long complained about evil wizardry being practiced in that dungeon. It appears that this time they may be right. I am in need of an assassin with enough time to travel to [the dungeon] and destroy the necromantic sorcerer there. I am prepared to pay [reward] gold pieces for this service. Are you interested?

Refuse Quest

Really? I would have thought this was your sort of an assignment. How inconvenient.

Accept Quest

[an oath], that's grand. I need to have this wizard extinguished in [first part time] days, so you will probably want to get on the road right away. Good luck, [your first name], and show no mercy.

Quest Fail

I don't want to see you again until that sorcerer is dead.

Quest Complete

The mighty hero returns! The farmers are overjoyed that their land is free of black magic, and I share their joy. Accept the [reward] gold pieces, [your first name], with my gratitude.

Rumors During Quest

You can almost feel the malevolent magicka building.

Some sorcerer has vowed to reduce [quest giver]'s land to rubble.

Rumors Postfailure

That sorcerer in [the dungeon] has apparently moved on.

Apparently some adventurer spooked the sorcerer out of [the dungeon].

Rumors Postsuccess

The Mad Wizard of [the dungeon] was apparently slain by a brave [your race].

Had that sorcerer survived, [quest giver] would have been in deep trouble.

Questor Postsuccess

Ah, the slayer of the mad wizard is back. How are you, my friend?

A pleasure to see you again, o killer of mad wizards.

Questor Postfailure

You weren't expecting a reward for your failure to slay that wizard, I hope. You're lucky I don't have you flogged.

So, the [your race] returns. So, I imagine, will the wizard you failed to slay. Run along now.

Message 1020
