| My needs are rather ... modest, but my offer, I think you will agree, is altruistism and generosity indissoluble. In return for The Masque of Clavicus, 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 [dungeon]. Lupines are generally quite friendly with me and my associates, but this one ... well, kids will be kids. Do we understand one another? |
| Ah, recognize a good deal, do you? You will find the lupine menace somewhere in a place called [dungeon]. Unfortunately, time is not our friend in this matter. For reasons too dull to discuss, I need the oaf dead in [time limit] days. After you have murdered the creature, meet my friend at [location] in [town]. Just look for a [desc of servant]. Nice doing business with you, [your name]. I'm sure we'll meet again. | 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]. |
| Oh, yes my dear, I think I can help you with your ambition. If I give you something quite valuable, will you do something for me first? |
| You will? Oh, that's very sweet. Much sweeter than a certain [bad guy type] I know named [bad guy name], who made a certain arrangement with me, but decided later to renege. If you would be so kind as to pay [bad guy name] a visit and let him know that such ungallant behavior is fatal. Then go to my dear friend, [servant name], who will wait for [time limit] days for you at [location] in [town], and give you my Ring of the Khajiiti when you arrive. It's just the thing you need. Now, you'd best be off. Be careful. | Oh, that's a shame. As a friendly warning, bad things happen to greedy [your race] adventurers willing to take, but not willing to give. |
|
"Oh,my. I bet you weren't expecting me! My unbrothers and nonsisters are sometimes a bit slow, so I step in for them. Too bad for thou. You'll just have to cut thy deal with me. Be quick about it! Before the hour of the pale be passed, have I plenty to do elsewhere."
"So! Power the [your race] craves to rub on the body and ease the four hundred sores of mortal life? Yes, Sheogorath has power, power enough to pull the branches across the eyes of the moon and rain blood over Tamriel. For this power, wilt thou send someone an invitation to tea for me? |
| To tea, to a tea party with me! Go, go to a place called [dungeon], where the object of my gallous desires doth trip and pose and wear blackberry crowns. Wait ... do not invite this battlemage to tea with me. Now I remember. This [bad guy name] the name is. Kill him to death, murder him fatally, that's what I wish. Then go from [dungeon] to a lunatic asylum called [another dungeon] and see my servant, [servant name]. The Wabbajack for you he will have. Will wait for you for [time limit] days and then will go to marry the unknown heir of Rowanda. Now I bid you a yapow and gazeenza.
Excuse me, you don't know this, but I'm completely mad. And if you don't shove off, I'll vomit on you. |
La, rejected by a squalid [your race] with lice in its hair. How far has Sheogorath risen! I shall have to ask for a raise in my allowance. Tirrah, Warlock |
| Power is such a lovely word, isn't it? It drips from the tongue like honey. If power is your aphrodisiac, I would be ecstatic to present you with the Sanguine Rose. All you have to do for me in return is punish a perfectly awful priest who dared to challenge me. Sounds good to you? |
| You won't regret this, [your name], provided you fulfill your end of our agreement. This sanctimonius monk is not harmless; [bad guy name] is his name and he burned my lovely worshippers to crisps. Go to the abandoned temple where he lurks, [dungeon], and rip his heart from his chest. My agent, [servant name] will await you in [location]. [servant name] does not like to wait so accomplish the murder in [time limit] days or less. I have the delicious feeling we'll see each other again, [your name]. I hope so. | A pox on you, [your name]. How dare you summon me forth and refuse my generous offer? Pray that I forgive you, [your name]. Sanguine is an enemy none should have. |
| Power, yes, is an allusive but eloquent prosecution. One of my minions possesses an ancient tome called the Oghma Infinium, which bequeaths great power on those who read its pages. If you exterminate a certain scrofulous patrician who has aroused my displeasure, I will arrange a meeting between you and the book. Is this agreeable? |
| Very well. This socialite I referred to resides at the palace of [town]. For the record, the name of your quarry is [bad guy name]. Kill him and proceed to [location], where my servant [servant name] will wait for you in a library. I do not think there is anything to be gained by continuing this interview. Fail me not in this, [your name], and the power thou craves will be thine. | You answer negatively. Am I to understand that you sought power, but seek it for free? You ought to have sought wisdom instead, for that is what you need. I bid you a very disappointed goodbye. |
| You dare summon forth Azura of the Crimson Gate, pleading for power? I don't know if you are worthy of such favor. In fact, I doubt it very much. I suppose that if I demanded that you murder a priest who has been saying very, very rude things about me, you would refuse even that small, simple request. Would you do that for me? |
| You would! Oh jolly good. Well, this perfectly awful priest is also a Healer, if that means anything. Isn't that just typical? As usual with these self-rightous types, [bad guy name] is secluded in [dungeon], cleansing or some such ridiculous thing. Anyway, why don't you hop on over there and stick a sword in him or something. And then scurry over to [location] and see my dear darling [servant name] who will give you my Star. That's enough power for anyone. I think [time limit] days is time enough for this, don't you? Oh, good. Hurry along then, [your name]. And don't be a stranger. Say hi to [servant name] for me. Okay, 'bye. | No! You're supposed to say yes! You're supposed to say: Yes, beautiful Azura, I would gladly murder at the snap of your ivory fingers. Boor! Bigot! Barbarian! Now, I must go before I forget that I am a lady and say something that I'll regret ... |
| You can't really have too much power, can you, [your name]? You look a lot like someone I used to know -- but that was back during your First Era, so it couldn't very well be you, could it? Now then, if you'd like, I can give you a little shield of mine called the Spell Breaker. It will certainly give you the power you want, but first, I need a little proof of your seriousness. You are serious, aren't you? |
| Excellent. It's wonderful seeing a [your race] with clear objectives. So rare in this day and age. Now then, there's this [bad guy name], frankly a vampire, who I know you'd hate. Thoroughly stupid, unattractive, and mean-spirited sort. He needs to go on a one-way trip to you-know-where. Then, after you've taken care of that unpleasant business, go visit my friend, [servant name], a charming [desc of servant], who will meet you at [location] in [town]. Now, I don't want to rush you, but I can't ask him to wait more than [time limit] days for you. And just getting to [dungeon] may take a good while, so you ought not dawdle along the way. [servant name] will be happy to show you the Spell Breaker. Now, I've prattled on long enough. It's been a pleasure. | Changed your mind, eh? Don't feel bad. It's a sign of maturity to be brave enough to say no. Just give me a call when you change your mind. I know you will. |
| The desire for power gnaws at the gut, does it not, [your name]? I can see it does. Excuse my informality, but I feel like I know you, I recognize your craving as if it were my own. You want to control, and the thought makes you slaver like a starving wolf. I can fill your belly, but first, I need to know. Will you kill in order to fill this void? |
| Wonderful. You should see the look in your eyes, [your name]. You will be mighty, I can see it in them. Now, your stepping stone to power is a vampiric ancient who has displeased me, [bad guy name]. Know that he is a mighty adversary, and his asylum, [dungeon], is well protected. But you can and will kill him. Once you have, go to my darling friend, [servant name] over at [location] in [town]. [servant name] is a busy person, so don't keep him waiting more than [time limit] days. [servant name] will have a present for you that I think will make you very happy. Farewell, [your name]. We will meet again, I know. | No?! Now you taunt me, [your name]. You tempt me out of my dark palace and then shun my company. If I thought you were merely being cruel, I could respect it. But I suspect that you are actually stupid, which I cannot abide. Therefore, I bid you a most disgusted goodbye. |
| If you would not mind doing a small favor for me, I can put in your possession a most excellent reward, the Hircine Ring. 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 class]? |
| Ah, good. This child of mine is a wereboar who has made his den in a place called [dungeon]. You should have no trouble finding it. After you have put him out of his obvious misery, which should not take more than [time limit] days, go to a place called [location] in [town] and look for a person named [servant name]. If you arrive there within [time limit] days from now with the wereboar dead, he will give you the Hircine Ring. A pleasure doing business with you, [your class]. Good luck and farewell. | I am gravely disappointed, [your class]. Seldom am I summoned, even rarer are the occasions when I am free to answer a summonings. To be perfectly blunt, this was a waste of my very precious time. |
| "A very wise [your race] once said that power corrupts, and absolute power is absolutely fabulous. That's why I am going to help you. Now, I'm sure you have certain moral problems with murdering an innocent who never hurt you in any way. But you'll do it to win my Skull of Corruption, yes? |
| Grand. The particular innocent I have in mind is a Lich. You're probably thinking, an innocent Lich? Well, innocent to you. To me, he is a treacherous former servant who took all the power I offered him, and ignored my orders. You will find his cadaverous presence in the [dungeon]. He's nervous, so be ready for a battle. After your victory, go to [town], and look for my servant, [servant name], [desc of servant] at [store]. | No? Why ... you ... contemptible, sniviling, virtuous, sterling piece of goblin snot! I'm not going to waste my precious time with anyone so poisonously moral. |
| You wish, [your name], for power. With it you can thrash at shadows and have a hope. If I brought you this hope, what would you bring me? Would you destroy one who brings me pain? |
| Would you? You would be my anesthesia? You will go to the lair of the Mage [bad guy name] at [dungeon] and slay him? Ah, [your name], for that I would give to you my Skeleton's Key which I have entrusted to my slave [servant name]. After [bad guy name] lies dead, do to [town] and meet my slave at [store]. You will recogize her easily - [desc of servant]. There you will receive the Skeleton's Key. And now, I must return to my cold palace of Oblivion. I will await news. | As I thought, no heart at all. We shall have no contract then, you and I, and, disappointed, return I to my cold palace. The souls within are no kinder than those here, but there, they follow. |
| Yes, I know of someone else who was interested in power. A little panikosa in Oblivion, who dreamed of power, and who asked me to supply it with the beauty and grace it has always desired. And when I made it beautiful, it fought against me, resisting my will as if I had not made it. Perhaps you are the same. If I made you strong an beautiful, you would respect the gift I gave you, would you not? |
| I believe you, [your name]. In exchange for the death of the treacherous seducer I once trusted, I will give you the Volendrung, my most prized possession in your world. It will make you most powerful indeed. You will find the loathed creature in [dungeon]. Slay her and meet my dear and trusted subject, [servant name] in [town]. I will tell him to meet you at [location] for convenience. I don't think the whole affair should take more than [time limit] days if done as efficiently as it should. Go then into the world and do my bidding, [your name]. | Witless [your race], don't you even know enough to lie? Do not waste my time with your pathetic yearnings. |
| I might have known it would be you. I ought to never answer these summonings. Well, perhaps it is natural for a worm to want to evolve into a wasp. Very well, [your name], I will give you power, but you must do something for me first. I need someone to assassinate a certain troublesome minor noble. Can I rely on you for that? |
| Well, that's something, anyhow. You can find this irksome official [bad guy name] in [town], snug and secure in his palace, as he believes. I don't know how you're going to gain entry, but perhaps you will come up with an idea. Perhaps. If you don't manage to kill yourself, go to [location] and I'll arrange for a servant to bring you your new power source, the Ebony Blade. I will ask my servant [servant name] to wait for you for [time limit] days at [location]. Do not, please, be late. That is all. | That is just as well. I have better uses for my time than building a power base for ungrateful, lazy guttersnipes. |
| Power, hah! Would a Mundus-crawling [your race] know what to do with real power? You mean you want to be able to bully a few other mortals around, don't you? Well that can be arranged. I want you to show me you have the mettle to actually use what I give you. Will you kill someone for it? |
| Well, that's a start in the right direction, anyhow. The spellsword I have in mind for you to butcher for power is [bad guy name], a perfectly charming and charitable ass who's been annoying the hell out me for years. You will find him at his fortress, a place called [dungeon]. Now, don't think that just because [bad guy name] is a precious toff, he doesn't know how to fight. I want to make you work a little for this gift. After the murder, go meet [servant name], my agent in [town]. Just look for a [desc of servant] hanging out at [location]. And don't keep him waiting. I'll tell him you'll be there in [time limit] days. That ought to be plenty of time. I'll be watching. | Pah, you make me sick. Don't summon me again, [your name], unless you grow up or are looking for a fight. |
| So you want power? Yes, many covet power, yes, but so few know why. Want you Mehrunes' Razor? Is very special, Mehrunes' Razor. Very nice, yes yes. Just, do one thing, and you have it, mmmm. Child have I that needs to be punished, yes. You will do this for lovely, lovely Mehrunes' Razor, yes? |
| Mmm, Mortalcreature brave, good good. Now, go to [dungeon], kill frost daedra there. It thinks safe, ha, we slaughter frostflesh tight and everywhere. You kill it and go [location], him [servant name] in [town]. Got good good Mehrunes' Razor for you. Kill frost daedra and see [servant name] before [time limit] Mundal nights. Go now, [your name]. Dagon waits. | Scruh! Mortalcreature say no to Mehrunes Dagon! Mortalcreature know you time means nothing to Dagon, he remembers insult, yes. Hamita too black for Mortalcreature, no, I ... will ... remember [your name]. |
| So you want power, [your name]. Power is a far more tangible quantity than wisdom, don't you agree? Now then, in order for us to judge your worth, we have a bit of toil for you to undertake. Nothing unpleasant, of course. You may rather enjoy it. A simple assassination, for which you will be rewarded with the Mace of Molag Bal. Then we can see if you're ready for real power. Does this sound agreeable? |
| We thought it would appeal to you. Now, listen carefully: your target is a [mage-type] named [bad guy name]. This infernal sparkcaster has been invoking our name, drawing on our power, without a contract. Perhaps this is due to ignorance, but we cannot be merciful. Look for the mage in his laboratory, [dungeon] and destroy him. Then, before [time limit] days have passed, meet our agent, [servant name], a [desc of servant], in [location] at a place called [town]. There he will give you the Mace of Molag Bal. Do not tarry, time is short. We will be watching. Do not fail. | You have wasted our time. We are not pleased. |
