Entry

First time:

Unexpectedly, you find yourself back in Ransmannsby, where you trained to
be a thief. Quickly you make the guild sign, hoping that you AND word
of your arrival reach the Master of Thieves' den.

Further times:

Once again, you find yourself back in Ransmannsby. Fond memories are
replaced by fear, knowing that the Master of Thieves is waiting for you.

If already rejected twice due to bad alignment:

You rub your hands through your hair, hoping that the little ones on
the back of your neck stay down, and prepare yourself for your meeting
with the Master of Thieves.

Quest guardians

If #chatting before the quest is complete:

"I hear that Lady Tyvefelle's household is lightly guarded."
"You're back? Even the Twain don't come back anymore."
"Can you spare an old cutpurse a zorkmid for some grog?"
"Fritz tried to join the other side, and now he's hell-hound chow."
"Be careful what you steal, I hear the boss has perfected turning rocks into worthless pieces of glass."

If #chatting after the quest is complete:

"I was sure wrong about Lady Tyvefelle's house; I barely got away with my life and lost my lock pick in the process."
"You're back? Even the Twain don't come back anymore."
"Can you spare an old cutpurse a zorkmid for some grog?"
"Fritz tried to join the other side, and now he's hell-hound chow."
"Be careful what you steal, I hear the boss has perfected turning rocks into worthless pieces of glass."

Quest leader

When you first meet your quest leader:

"Well, look who it is boys -- <playername> has come home. You seem to have
fallen behind in your dues. I should kill you as an example to these
other worthless cutpurses, but I have a better plan. If you are ready
maybe you could work off your back dues by performing a little job for
me. Let us just see if you are ready..."

When you return, if you haven't yet been assigned the quest:

"Well, I didn't expect to see you back. It shows that you are either stupid,
or you are finally ready to accept my offer. Let us hope for your sake it
isn't stupidity that brings you back."

This message is not currently used:

"Did you perhaps mistake me for some other Master of Thieves? You must
think me as stupid as your behavior. I warn you not to try my patience."

When you are expelled from the quest for having permanently converted or failed the alignment test seven times:

"Well thugs, it looks like our friend has forgotten who is the boss
around here. Our friend seems to think that <currentrank>s have been put in
charge. Wrong. DEAD WRONG!"
Your sudden shift in surroundings prevents you from hearing the end
of the Master of Thieves' curse.

When being rejected due to lack of experience:

"In the time that you've been gone you've only been able to master the
arts of a <currentrank>? I've trained ten times again as many Robbers
in that time. Maybe I should send one of them, no? Where would that
leave you, <playername>? Oh yeah, I remember, I was going to kill you!"

When being rejected due to having worse than pious alignment record, or temporarily converted:

"Maybe I should chain you to my perch here for a while. Perhaps watching
real chaotic men at work will bring some sense back to you. I don't
think I could stand the sight of you for that long though. Come back
when you can be trusted to act properly."

When assigned the quest:

"Will everyone not going to retrieve the Master Key of Thievery from that
jerk, the Master Assassin, take one step backwards. Good choice,
<playername>, because I was going to send you anyway. My other thugs
are too valuable to me.
"Here's the deal. I want the Master Key of Thievery, the Master Assassin
has the Master Key of Thievery. You are going to get the Master Key of Thievery
and bring it back to me. So simple an assignment even you can understand
it."
