What people say

Questor Offer

I have a somewhat complicated mission that needs a fourth man involved. It might take a couple of days to accomplish, but it will mean an extra [reward] gold in your pocket. Sound intriguing?

Refuse Quest

That is a disappointment. Ah well.

Accept Quest

I have a contact in [npc1's place] who has a certain item needed by another associate of mine in [npc2's place]. Of course, [npc1], my contact in [npc1's place] needs to be paid for [his/her] item. That is why I need you to bring this diamond as payment to [npc1]. The diamond needs to be in [his/her] possession in [first part time] days. Once you have made it to [npc1's town], [npc1] will give you further instructions. Thank you, [your first name], and [a god] be with you.

Quest Fail

I know it was complicated, [your first name], but I assumed you had at least a small brain encased in that thick skull of yours. I hope you were taking notes, because I'm not in the habit of repeating myself.

Quest Complete

Ah, the [item2]. I was afraid it would never arrive. Well, here's your [reward] gold, as promised. Tell [npc1] I am in [his/her] debt. And thank you as well.

Rumors During Quest

[npc2] in [npc2's town] is still screeching about [his/her] [item2].

[an oath], that [npc1] is greedy. Wouldn't help [his/her] own mother without payment.

Rumors Postfailure

I hear [quest giver] is mad as hell at some [your race] adventurer.

[npc2] left [npc2's town] in a rage over some kinda lost magical item of [his/her].

Rumors Postsuccess

I wonder what the connection is between [quest giver] and [npc2].

I hear [npc1] sold [his/her] [item2]. What in Tamriel could the price have been?

Questor Postsuccess

Well, if it isn't [your name], the ultimate courier. How are you, my friend?

You helped me when I was in need, [your first name]. What can I do for you?

Questor Postfailure

I take it you've come to apologize for your incomplete couriering, [your first name]. Apology not accepted. Leave me now.

Quest Log Entry

Thank [a god] you've arrived, [your first name]. Give me the diamond, quick. Now take this [item2] and bring it to [npc2] over in [npc2's town] -- that's in [npc2's place]. Once you're there, [he/she] will pay you.
