Business with Vampires

Questor Offer

[your first name], always a pleasure to see you, my dear friend, especially when I need help. I need to get this [item] to my contact in [contact's place], but I've received word that a vampiric tribe does not want my courier to get through. You're the only person I can think of who might get it through. Will you try?

Refuse Quest

Really? Too busy, perhaps. That is a shame.

Accept Quest

Ah, marvelous. Here's the [item]. Now, [contact] needs to have it in [contact's town] in [quest time] days. Look for a [contact]. You can't miss [him/her]. And don't get yourself killed in the process. Good luck and thank you.

Quest Fail

[your first name], you are wasting precious time. Get on the road to [contact's place] immediately.

Quest Complete

Ah, good to see you [your first name]. And the [item] too. Excellent. Those nightstalkers were wise to try to keep this out of my hands. Here's a little gold for your trouble. Take care of yourself.

Rumors During Quest

They're doing some research into some vampiric matters in [contact's town], I hear.

[contact], one of the greatest of the vampire hunters, has joined [contact's town].

Rumors Postfailure

Someone found a very lovely [item] around here recently.

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

Rumors Postsuccess

It seems safer to walk the streets in [the region], I've noticed.

Sure, vampire attacks are becoming rarer. But it's not time to get cocky yet.

Questor Postsuccess

I guess the bloodsuckers learned their lesson, eh, [your first name]? What can I do for you?

I understand that the delivery went through. Of course, no surprise to me.

Questor Postfailure

The vampires proved too much, [your first name]? Don't feel bad -- they are a powerful lot. Now is not a good time to speak.

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: [quest giver] wants me to deliver a particular [item] to [his/her] contact in [contact's place], a shaman named [contact] at [contact's town]. The local vampires apparently do not want me to complete the delivery, but I need to get the [item] to [contact's place] within [quest time] days or my reward is forfeit.

Message 1011

So, you must be the doughty [your name]. Welcome to my humble abode. When I heard that [vampleader]'s attack on you failed, I wondered if you might look me up. Let me introduce myself -- I am [vampire] of [vampire's faction], the most ancient and respected of the vampire bloodlines. Now, I realize that you have agreed to deliver a certain [item] to that notorious executioner [contact]. [vampire's faction] would very much prefer if you made that delivery to me instead. Purely a semantic difference, don't you agree? Especially since we are willing to pay you [vampreward] gold plus a magical [vampitem] as a bonus. What do you say to that most generous offer?

Message 1012

Marvelous. The up and coming [your race] adventurer makes a wise change of allegiance. [quest giver] won't be pleased, but [he/she] had best learn to love disappointment. It has been a distinct pleasure doing business with you. Perhaps you and I will meet again on a more...intimate...occasion.

Message 1013

Your loyalty to [quest giver] is touching, but quite unfortunate for both of us. You can let yourself out, [your first name]. Oh, by the way, don't sleep too soundly at night. [vampire's faction] always settle their debts.

Message 1015

[contact] has been leading the crusade to drive the vampires out of [the region].

Sometimes I wonder if all the people [contact] has burned at the stake were really vampires. It's hard to believe there are so many around.

Message 1030

The parchment shows the location of Kykos Coven in Dak'fron, whatever that is. You quickly mark it down on your map.

Message 1040

[vampleader], That thrice-damned [quest giver] has finally acquired the [item] [he/she] has been looking for, and is sending it over to [contact]. You know as well as I that [vampire's faction] cannot allow it to arrive. [quest giver] is expecting us to try to stop [him/her], so [he/she] is looking for a [your race] named [your name] to act as courier. Do not underestimate this one -- [your first name] has quite a reputation. Bring the [item] to me at once -- I will wait for you at [vamphouse] in [vamphouse's town].
