Transcript:Client of Kourend/Historical

This page contains the transcript of Client of Kourend. The content below is copied verbatim from Old School RuneScape and thus copyrighted by Jagex.

This transcript involves dialogue with Horace, Jennifer (Shayzien), Leenz, Munty, Regath, Veos, Veos' Client, and the player.

Starting off

• Veos: Hello again, [player name]! What can I do for you?
• (Non-quest dialogue) Where am I exactly?
• (Non-quest dialogue) Can you take me back to Port Sarim please?
• Have you got any quests for me?
  • Player: Have you got any quests for me?
  • Veos: As a matter of fact, [player name], I do...
  • Veos: I have a client from the mainland interested in some more knowledge surrounding the houses of Kourend. Do you think you'd be able to retrieve it for me?
  • Veos: I was just going to do it myself but as you're quite new around here, this might be a good opportunity for you to get to know the kingdom a bit better.
  • Sounds interesting! How can I help?
    • Player: Sounds interesting! How can I help?
    • Veos hands you an enchanted scroll.
    • Player receives an enchanted scroll.
    • Veos: Take this scroll.
    • Veos: My client is interested in the hierarchy and general social organisation of Great Kourend; how it differs from the mainland, per se.
    • Veos: That scroll is special. When written on with a particular type of quill, my client will see what you're writing without anything being seen on the scroll itself.
    • Player: Wait, wait! I'm not spying for somebody am I?
    • Veos: Not exactly... My client simply wishes to keep his 'knowledge gathering' on the down low before he makes his appearance.
    • Player: That seems fair. Who should I speak to in order to find out more about the houses?
    • Veos: There's many a man and woman who could give you the information you need, but General store owners in house will likely be your best bet. They should know enough about their houses, and always seem up
    • Veos: for a chat.
    • Player: Good call. What about this special quill you mentioned?
    • Veos: Simply touching a normal feather onto the paper should synchronise their magical ability to work together. You don't need any ink.
    • Player: Right, I'll return to you when I have the information your client needs.
    • Veos: See you soon.
    • (End of dialogue)
  • I'm busy at the moment, actually. Not now.
    • Player: I'm busy at the moment, actually. Not now.
    • Veos: Very well. Do come back if you wish to help out my client.
    • (End of dialogue)

• (Non-quest dialogue) Who are you?
• (Non-quest dialogue) I don't need anything.
• Can I ask you about the Arceuus house?
  • Player: Can I ask you about the Arceuus house?
  • Regath: This house holds knowledge many would deem unsafe to share. Why should I be so trusting to you?
  • Player: Well, I'm a...
  • Player: Uhm...
  • Player: A journalist! Yes, a journalist from the mainland. I want to let the wider world know of how this incredible house works.
  • Regath: Someone willing to share knowledge of our great house to many others?
  • Regath: Very well, then. The rest of the world could certainly do with learning about our great library.
  • What is it that Arceuus provides for Great Kourend?
    • Player: So what exactly is it the Arceuus house brings to Great Kourend?
    • Regath: The Arceuus house is filled with literary and magical scholars. Lead by the great Trobin Arceuus, as a leader, he assists in pushing the limit of our knowledge surrounding magical abilities, religion and the crafting of

    • Player: Why should I gain favour in Arceuus?

    • Regath: Reanimation of life... that's where our studies currently lie. This knowledge could be yours.
    • Your quill and scroll glow, causing a seething pain to run through your hand and arm.
    • Regath: What is the matter, journalist?
    • Player: I... I don't know.
    • Player: I must have caught my finger with the quill. Apologies; please continue.
    • Regath: Very well. As mentioned, rewards for loyalty within our household are priceless. The sharing of our research surrounding re-animation and magic is but child's play to the knowledge we share to the most loyal of our
    • Regath: house; the knowledge of Blood and Soul runecrafting.
    • If Regath was not the last general store owner you talked to:
      • You jot down all of the information Regath had to say about the Arceuus house.
    • If Regath was the last general store owner you talked to:
