What people say

Questor Offer

I was wondering if you might do me a small favor. You see, I have a friend who requires a certain shipment of a certain substance brought by a certain time. I trust I'm making myself clear. Are you available for such an assignment, given a payment of, say, [reward] gold pieces?

Refuse Quest

Well, I'm certainly disappointed. I would've expected more enthusiasm. Ah well, it's these times that breed sloth and indolence, I suppose.

Accept Quest

So, you are available. Well, that's grand, I must say. Now then, here's a whatsamajig, a [item1]. It needs to be brought to an alchemist I know by the name of [npc1]. You'll find [him/her] at [npc1's town] in [npc1's place]. With luck, [he/she] will have something for you to bring to my friend, [npc2]. Well, you best be off. [npc1] told me [he/she] needed the [item1] in [first part time] days or less. Thank you and have a good journey.

Quest Fail

We'll have plenty of time to chat more once you've completed your assignment.

Quest Complete

[an oath], I was wondering when you'd get here. You are [your first name]? I'm [npc2], and that, I believe, is my [item2]. If you haven't tried it before, you really should. The effect is heavenly. Anyway, here's your [reward] gold pieces. Thanks a lot, [your first name]. You're a life saver.

Rumors During Quest

I've heard that [npc2] is a [item2] addict, but I haven't seen any proof.

They say it's tough to concoct a good dose of [item2], takes years of study.

Rumors Postfailure

It turns out [npc2] was a [item2] addict after all. They caught [him/her] buying it.

I wonder who was supplying that [npc1] with the ingredients [he/she] needed.

Rumors Postsuccess

[npc2] finally got that shipment [he/she] was waiting for. He's happy as a harpy.

[quest giver] seems pretty pleased with a [your race] mercenary, but won't say why.

Questor Postsuccess

You did a fine job on that delivery, my friend. What can I do for you?

[an oath], good to see you again, [your first name]. You did a good job on that ... little job.

Questor Postfailure

As I recall, you failed the last assignment I gave you. I see little point in talking with you now.

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: I am bringing [npc1] of [npc1's town], [npc1's place] a [item1] in exchange for some item that [quest giver] wants to be delivered to a third party. I have [first part time] days to accomplish the first part of this delivery.

Message 1011

[the quest date]: [npc1] sent me on to [npc2], the third party in [npc2's place], with some [item2]. I will recognize [npc2] as the [npc2] in [npc2's town], provided I get it to [him/her] in [2ndparton] days.
