What people say

Questor Offer

My needs are rather ... modest, but my offer, I think you will agree, is altruism and generosity indissoluble. In return for [artifact], an artifact of great power, I only ask that you exterminate a nasty little bit of fur that has been preying on some of my friends who live near [the dungeon]. Lupines are generally quite friendly with me and my associates, but this one ... well, kids will be kids. Do we understand one another?

Refuse Quest

Why, you nauseating insect. You poison the air with your thickwitted insolence. How dare you summon forth the greatest of the Princes of Oblivion and refuse the simplest request I could possibly propose? In return for water, I offer you wine and you spit both in my face. I will not forget this, [your name].

Accept Quest

Ah, recognize a good deal, do you? You will find the lupine menace somewhere in a place called [the dungeon]. Unfortunately, time is not our friend in this matter. For reasons too dull to discuss, I need the oaf dead in [first part time] days. After you have murdered the creature, meet my friend at [contact's town] in [contact's place]. Just look for a [contact]. Nice doing business with you, [your name]. I'm sure we'll meet again.

Quest Fail

Listen, kid. I don't know how much business you've done with Clavicus Vile before, but I'll tell you this -- he don't like anything done halfway. I know that werewolf ain't dead, and if you think you can fool Vile, you're an idiot. No dead werewolf, no [artifact]. Simple as that.

Quest Complete

Ah, [your first name], Vile told me to expect you. Well, you fulfilled your end I understand so here's the [artifact], just like Vile promised. He's impressed with you, by the way. Not a bad friend to have. Take it from me.

Rumors During Quest

I've heard there's some kind of werewolf on the loose around here.

I hear the werewolf's found a lair in someplace called [the dungeon].

Didja hear that howling last night? Wolf howling?

Rumors Postfailure

Werewolves are real nomads, I guess. I hear our loup moved down south.

My cousin tells me that our werewolf was spotted down south a ways.

Rumors Postsuccess

Some kind of weird cult activity started up over by [the dungeon].

A lot of people feel safer knowing that werewolf is dead.

You heard about that werewolf some [your race] hunted down?

Message 1011

Clavicus Vile is the consummate politician of Oblivion.

You won't find a more carefully neutral Daedric Prince than Clavicus Vile.

Message 1012

That smooth-talking [contact] is [a direction] of here in [contact's town].

If you go [a direction] of here in [contact's town], just look for a [contact].

Message 1014

Supposedly, the Masque enhances the personality of the wearer.

Message 1020

[the quest date]: Clavicus Vile wants me to kill a werewolf located in the dungeon [the dungeon]. A [contact] named [contact] will wait for [first part time] days for me at [contact's town] in [contact's place] to give me the Masque of Clavicus Vile.
