Detailed Walkthrough

Quest Offer

Questgiver says:

A certain merchant needs to have a monster, a gargoyle to be precise, dispatched. The pay is a modest (random gold) gold pieces. Can I have your help in this matter?

Quest Acceptance

Questgiver goes on:

It seems this merchant hired a wizard to build him a grand mansion. Then the poor fool tried to cheat the mage of his wages. The wizard grew angry and animated one of the stone gargoyles on the new mansion. It has been attacking the merchant ceaselessly. Go out to (dungeon) and kill the thing. You've got (time limit) days to complete the task.

Quest Decline

Questgiver answers:

Hmmm. Not the brave, heroic sort I guess.

Quest Object

Just another dungeon crawl. Travel to the dungeon mentioned to you, find the gargoyle within and kill it. You will need mithril weapons or better to do any harm to a gargoyle. Return back to the questgiver afterwards and collect your reward.

Quest Object Dead

When the statue crumbles to the ground, the following message pops up:

The gargoyle is dead. Hopefully that foolish merchant has learned never to cheat a mage.

Quest End

When you report back to the questgiver after the gargoyle is dead he will say:

Hail to the hero, (player's name)! Well done! This paltry fee of (random gold) is hardly a worthy reward for such a deed.

If you also get a dungeon map he will add:

Maybe this map to (random dungeon) will sweeten the deal a little.
