What people say

Questor Offer

If you would not mind doing a small favor for me, I can put in your possession a most excellent reward, [artifact]. I have a child, apparently miserable with all the blessings I have given him, who needs ... what is the euphemism? To be taught a lesson? A very serious lesson. Does this sound like an agreeable contract, [your title]?

Refuse Quest

I am gravely disappointed, [your title].

Seldom am I summoned, even rarer are the occasions when I am free to answer a summoning. To be perfectly blunt, this was a waste of my very precious time.

Accept Quest

Ah, good. This child of mine is a wereboar who has made his den in a place called [the dungeon]. You should have no trouble finding it. After you have put him out of his obvious misery, which should not take more than [first part time] days, go to a place called [contact's town] in [contact's place] and look for a person named [contact]. If you arrive there within [first part time] days from now with the wereboar dead, [he/she] will give you [artifact]. A pleasure doing business with you, [your title]. Good luck and farewell.

Quest Fail

Listen, [your first name], you and I both know that wereboar's still breathing. A contract is a contract.

Quest Complete

Hello, [your first name]. You made it. Hircine's impressed with you, which is no small accomplishment. Here's [artifact] you were promised. Take care.

Rumors During Quest

Real nasty squeals and grunts coming out of [the dungeon], [a direction] of here.

I hear there's some kind of mad half-pig thing in [the dungeon] to the [a direction].

Rumors Postfailure

That pig-thing that was here ran up north, like there was something after it.

Wonder what would spook a wereboar, make it run away like it did.

Rumors Postsuccess

Real quiet around [the dungeon] lately.

Wonder what happened to that pig-thing that used to run around these parts.

Message 1011

The least of the daedra princes. He is their Master of the Hunt.

Hircine is supposed to be the creator of all lycanthropes.

Message 1012

Some weird-acting [contact] in [contact's town], [a direction] of here.

A [contact] by that name was in [contact's town], [a direction] of here, fairly recently.

Message 1013

I have no idea what [artifact] does.

Message 1020

[the quest date]: In return for [artifact] I have been asked by the Daedra Prince Hircine to slay a wereboar in [the dungeon]. The wereboar must be dead in [first part time] days, and I must be in [contact's town] in [contact's place] in [first part time] days to meet with [contact], a [contact], about [artifact].

Message 1030

The wereboar is dead, as you promised Daedra Prince Hircine. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [a direction] occurs 13 times. -- [he/she] occurs 2 times. -- [your first name] occurs 2 times. -- [your title] occurs 5 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 1 time. -- [first part time] occurs 4 times. -- [contact] occurs 7 times. -- [the dungeon] occurs 6 times. -- [contact's town] occurs 5 times. -- [artifact] occurs 9 times. -- [contact] occurs 9 times.
