The Daedric Book

Questor Offer

[your first name], old friend, am I glad you're here. I am in trouble with a group of daedra and am looking for someone to purvey a rare manuscript to an acquaintance of mine. The reward will be extremely liberal, but the possibility of daedric intervention is quite high. Are you interested?

Refuse Quest

I understand, [your first name]. You are a busy [your race].

Accept Quest

Excellent. Here's the book, [item]. Now, [contact] needs to have it in [contact's town] in [quest time] days. You can still make it, I think. Just be on guard against the daedra. Good luck.

Quest Fail

Unless you have already delivered the book, we have nothing to talk about.

Quest Complete

Ah, good to see you [your first name]. And [item] too. Excellent. I hope the daedra didn't cause you too much difficulty. Ha! If they actually knew what I can use this little book for, they would have sent twice the number to stop you! Here is your reward for a job well done.

Rumors During Quest

The daedra are excited tonight. You can feel it in the air.

What could [quest giver] have done to infuriate the daedra so?

Rumors Postfailure

Someone found a very rare book around here recently.

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

Rumors Postsuccess

Some [contact] was just here, waving around some old book and cackling to [him/her]- self.

Some jewelry store has reported the theft of a big ruby, I hear.

Questor Postsuccess

I told my contact that you were tougher than any daedra. Guess you proved it.

Hail to thee, circumventer of daedra. What can your friend do for you?

Questor Postfailure

The daedra proved to be too much, eh, [your first name]? I'm disappointed. I had expected much better from you.

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: [quest giver] has sent me to [contact's place] to deliver a certain book, [item], to [contact] in [contact's place]. I have [quest time] days to deliver it to get my reward. A group of daedra apparently wants my mission to fail.

Message 1011

Greetings, [your name]. I have been expecting you. I am [oblivion], at your service. My friends in Oblivion tell me that you have involved yourself in their affairs. I may still be able to placate them, but I must have the book you carry. I should warn you, daedra have long memories. Now, give it to me, before it is too late!

Message 1012

As you hand over the book, a shadowy form materializes: "Oblivion appreciates your service, [your first name]. We have been watching you. It would seem that our interest has been justifiable." You feel the book disappear from your grasp as the figure vanishes again.

Message 1013

[oblivion] is a powerful mage living in [oblivion's place].

[oblivion] of [oblivion's place]? [He/she]'s in league with the Daedra, I hear.

Message 1014

[oblivion] is some kind of sorcerer, I think. Try [oblivion's town] in [oblivion's place].

A dangerous meddler in daedric affairs. You'll find [oblivion] in [oblivion's place], at [oblivion's town].

Message 1020

You deal the daedra a fearful blow, but it remains upright for a moment, eyes locked with yours, and a harsh voice issues from its bloody throat: "You may slay my mortal form, [your name], but my brethren will harry you mercilessly until we pluck the book from your lifeless hand. If you wish to avoid this fate, seek out [oblivion] and surrender it to [him/her]. As the mediator between your world and mine, [he/she] alone can persuade my Lord to call us off the hunt."

Message 1025

Insolent puppy! You come here asking for my help, then refuse my advice? May Oblivion take you!
