The Werebeast

Questor Offer

Hey, if I told you I could give you a bit of information, let's say, about that letter of milady, would you be interested there, [your first name]? I thought so. Now, mind you, I ain't givin' it away. Before I scratch yer back, you gotta scratch mine. Deal?

Refuse Quest

Of course not. You only do work for the likes of kings, don't ya? Poor Cyndassa has to work for herself, is that it? Well, [an oath], it suits me just fine, so there.

Accept Quest

M'name is Cyndassa. Daggerfall. I'll tell you everything I know, but I don't need to remind you that there ain't no such thing as free info, do I, [your name]? I'm just a maid to her highness, nothing but a fleck to the world, and my needs ain't big. I need this werewolf done in. I know just where it is -- some [a god] forsook hole called Tristore Laboratory, off the coast over Betony way. I can't tell you why, but it's important to me that that werewolf gets put outta its misery. I'll wait here for [2mondung] days for you -- that oughta be plenty of time.

Quest Fail

You think I'm an idiot, [your name]? You think I don't know that loup is still alive?

Quest Complete

It's dead then, is it? Poor thing. He used to be my brother. If you ask me, he died long ago, when he first got bit. He hated himself when he became that beast. I wish there'd been another way to help him. I promised I'd tell you about that letter yer lookin for, didn't I now? Of course, I remember that letter, [your first name]. It's not every day that you gets a letter from the Emperor himself, especially seein' as the King ain't too fond of him. 'Fact, that's the only letter I ever seen from him. I give it to her majesty, and she's all excited and she rip it open and says "this isn't for me, this is addressed to Mynisera." Then... boom! Her jaw fall open and her eyes get real wide. She say she'll make sure the Queen Mother gets it and that I don't have to worry myself none about it.

Rumors During Quest

The werewolf of Tristore Laboratory has been terrifying Betony for weeks.

No one much cares about the werewolf of Tristore Laboratory except its neighbors.

Poor Aubk-i. Her maid's been spreading the wildest tales about her.

Rumors Postfailure

That werewolf moved on, out of Tristore Laboratory. Migratory beasts they are.

Didn't expect that loup to live in Tristore Laboratory for as long as it did.

Boy, those Shapeshifters sure put the kibosh on some [your race] out yonder.

Rumors Postsuccess

Some [your race] adventurer chased the werewolf at Tristore Laboratory out of Betony.

The peasants who live around Tristore Laboratory are happy the loup is gone.

The Shapeshifters have some [your race] to thank for saving one of their own.

Quest Log Entry

The body of the werewolf begins to transform before your very eyes. In just a few minutes, it has become a young man who seems to bear a strong resemblance to Cyndassa.

Message 1011

[your first name], thanks ever so much for getting him out of that trap. I'll deal with the Beldama myself to straighten things out.

Message 1012

I well remember Cyndassa blabbering on about the Queen's private affairs. Amazing what a few drops of wine will do to loosen a young girl's tongue. It isn't just every day a letter from the Emperor is delivered, especially as, you know, the Queen isn't all that fond of him. Cyndassa said that letter was the only one she'd ever seen from him, and was shocked when the Queen gasped and exclaimed "Why, this isn't for me, it's addressed to Mynisera." Poor Cyndassa. She immediately thought that she'd misunderstood the courier and given that letter to the wrong noble. She was so relieved when Aubk-i didn't make a fuss and said she'd make sure the Queen Mother got it promptly, and not to worry herself over it.

Message 1013

Oh, keep the [relic], if you like.

Message 1014

Why [your first name], you've found part of my old lover's diary. I'd recognize that writing anywhere. Cyndassa, the filthy little whore, had him infected by two different loups! Curing such is beyond our means today. The Beldama hopes through study to find one. She can reverse the process for several weeks, but no longer. Until now, we've seen no cases survive the initial infection any longer than that. If you can return with him to me, I have some information that may be of some use to you. Take this special [relic]. It will tame the beast within him.

Message 1015

[the quest date]: I've met up with [barmaid], an old lover of Cyndassa's brother. She has some information for me if only I can return her ex-lover by using this [relic] somehow. She'll be waiting at [tavern] over in [tavern's town].

Message 1016

[the quest date]: I've found a page from a diary of Cyndassa's brother suggesting she paid to turn him into a lycanthrope out of spite.

Message 1017

You find a diary fragment, written in a scrawling hand. "...I cannot believe Cyndassa acted so spitefully, just because I broke up with her friend, [barmaid]. Well, I never much cared for visiting [barmaid's place] either, and thought we parted amicably... But paying to turn me in to the Shapeshifters, I just don't get it. Cyndassa must be picking up bad ways from those rotten nobles at the Daggerfall Court."

Message 1018

You find a diary fragment, written in a clear hand. "...I have no memory of coming to this place. If I've been kidnapped, for what? We have no money, and Cyndassa is barely tolerated by the nobles at court. My last clear memory is of watching the moon rise over Castle Daggerfall..."

Message 1019

Tsk. That Cyndassa is always up to something with her girlfriends.

Imagine that Queen Aubk-i lets her maid consort with [barmaid's faction].

Unbelievable that Queen Aubk-i lets her maid consort with [barmaid's faction].

Tut. That Cyndassa is always up to something with [barmaid].

Message 1020

[wereBrother] broke her heart, and now she's taken up whoring over in [tavern].

Some young scamp broke her heart, and now she just sulks over at [tavern's town].

She's always out plying her craft, if you know what I mean, in [tavern's town].

Didn't she get Cyndassa to turn her brother into a werewolf after he jilted her?

Message 1021

Keep away from me [your race], you filthy assassin!

Assassin! I'll feed you to the guards, [your race]!

How dare you approach me, you filthy were-monger!

Take your filthy were-mongering hide out of my sight, [your race]!

Message 1022

Keep away from me [your race]! You're an idiot were-monger.

You fool! How could you fall for that simple maid's lies?

You foolish [your race]. Don't tell me you fell for Cyndassa's lies!

I should set the 'shifters on your trail, [your race], after what you've done.

Message 1023

[the quest date]: Cyndassa, the serving maid of Queen Aubk-i of Daggerfall has sent me to slay a werewolf holed up at Tristore Laboratory in Betony, for some reason. She can only pay me in information, and has promised to reveal what she knows of the Emperor's letter. I have [2mondung] days to do this deed.

Message 1024

The body of the werewolf begins to transform before your very eyes. In a few moments, it has become a young man, [wereBrother], lying in a coma at your feet. You gently pick him up.

Message 1025

Now that Cyndassa's waiting at the Castle her whole family's put on airs.

Sibling rivalry's all the rage over in [wereBrother's place].

Tsk. The things youngsters will try to get attention.

Message 1026

Property of the Shapeshifter's Guild.

Message 1027

You feel a sickening jolt as the [relic] vanishes.

Message 1028

Have you lost your mind, [your title]? I was inclined to help you, but after your assault on [wereBrother] ... Slink along back to that whore Cyndassa, why don't you? Worthless piece of [your race].

Message 1029

On second thought, [your title], why don't I just tag along? I'll hold the [relic], as it can be a bit tricky to use.

Message 1030

[the quest date]: [barmaid] told me that Cyndassa delivered a letter intended for Mynisera to Queen Aubk-i, who promised to turn it over to the Queen mother right away.

Message 1031

[the quest date]: I need to escort [barmaid] and [wereBrother] to the Coven on the Bluff in Daggerfall.

Message 1032

As the body of the werewolf slowly freezes in place, [barmaid] speaks: "Excellent, [your first name], I will keep my promise to tell you what I know of that letter you're after."

Message 1033

Now, if I might beg the favor of escorting us to the Beldama of the Sisters of the Bluff. You'll find it on the map in Daggerfall province.

Message 1034

[your first name], your service to the Coven has been invaluable. Please, feel free to call at any time.

Message 1035

[barmaid] looks at you in disgust. "Whadda you trying to do, [your race]? Kidnap us?" She picks up [wereBrother] and disappears into thin air.

Message 1036

[barmaid] begins whispering: "Ok [your first name], here's what we'll do. We'll split up, and make our way to [dungeon's town]. Then while you distract him, I'll cast the spell to tame the beast within him." --Changed [wereBrother] to [dungeon's town] so [barmaid] specifies dungeon werewolf is in, not dungeon brother NPC currently stashed in -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [a god] occurs 1 time. -- [an oath] occurs 1 time. -- [your first name] occurs 7 times. -- [your name] occurs 1 time. -- [your title] occurs 3 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 5 times. -- [your race] occurs 20 times. -- [2mondung] occurs 3 times. -- [barmaid's faction] occurs 3 times. -- [wereBrother's place] occurs 1 time. -- [tavern's town] occurs 5 times. -- [barmaid] occurs 9 times. -- [relic] occurs 8 times. -- [tavern] occurs 2 times. -- [wereBrother] occurs 6 times.
