Man (Murder Mystery)/Dialogue

Before starting the quest

 * Man: Theres some kind of commotion up at the Sinclair place
 * Man: I hear. Not surprising all things considered

After starting the quest

 * Player: I'm investigating the murder up at the Sinclair place
 * Man: Murder is it?
 * Man: Well, I'm not very surprised...
 * What can you tell me about the Sinclairs?
 * Player: What can you tell me about the Sinclairs?
 * Man: Well, what do you want to know?
 * Tell me about Lord Sinclair
 * Player: Tell me about Lord Sinclair
 * Man: Old Lord Sinclair was a great man with a lot of
 * Man: respect in these parts. More than his worthless
 * Man: children have anyway
 * Player: His children? They have something to gain by his death?
 * Man: yes. you could say that. not that im one to gossip
 * what can you tell me about his sons?
 * Player: what can you tell me about his sons?
 * Man: His sons eh? They all have their own skeletons
 * Man: In their cupboards. You'll have to be more specific.
 * Man: Who are you interested in exactly?
 * Tell me about Bob
 * Player: Tell me about Bob
 * Man: Bob is an odd character indeed...
 * Man: I'm not one to gossip, but I heard
 * Man: Bob is addicted to Tea. He can't make it through the day
 * Man: Without having at least 20 cups!
 * Man: You might not think thats a big thing,
 * Man: But he has spent thousands of gold to feed his habit
 * Man: At one point he stole a lot of silverware from the kitchen
 * Man: and pawned it just so he could afford to buy his daily
 * Man: tea allowance. If his father ever found out, he would
 * Man: be in so much trouble... he might even get disowned
 * Tell me about David
 * Player: Tell me about David
 * Man: David... oh David...
 * Man: not many people know this, but David really
 * Man: has an anger problem. Hes always screaming and shouting
 * Man: at the household servants when hes angry, and they live
 * Man: in a state of fear, always walking on eggshells around him
 * Man: but none of them have the courage to talk to his father about
 * Man: his behaviour. If they did Lord Sinclair would almost certainly
 * Man: kick him out of the house, as some of the servants have
 * Man: been there longer than he has, and he definitely
 * Man: has no right to treat them like he does... but
 * Man: I'm not one to gossip about people.
 * Tell me about Frank
 * Player: Tell me about Frank
 * Man: I'm not one to talk ill of people behind their back
 * Man: but frank is a real piece of work. He is an absolutely
 * Man: terrible gambler... he can't pass 2 dogs in the street
 * Man: without putting a bet on which one will bark first
 * Man: He has already squandered all of his allowance, and I heard
 * Man: he had stolen a number of paintings of his Fathers to sell
 * Man: to try and cover his debts, but he still owes a lot of
 * Man: people a lot of money. If his Father ever found out, he would
 * Man: stop his income, and then he would be in serious trouble
 * what can you tell me about his daughters?
 * Player: what can you tell me about his daughters?
 * Man: His daughters eh? They're all nasty pieces of work
 * Man: which of them specifically did you want to know about?
 * Tell me about Anna
 * Player: Tell me about Anna
 * Man: Anna... ah yes...
 * Man: Anna has 2 great loves:
 * Man: Sewing and Gardening. But one thing
 * Man: she has kept secret is that once had
 * Man: an affair with Stanford the gardener
 * Man: and tried to get him fired when they broke up
 * Man: by killing all the flowers in the garden
 * Man: if her father ever found out she had done that
 * Man: He would be so furious he would probably disown her
 * Tell me about Carol
 * Player: Tell me about Carol
 * Man: Oh Carol... she is such a fool
 * Man: You didn't hear it from me, but I heard
 * Man: a while ago she was conned out for a lot of money
 * Man: by a travelling salesman who sold her a box full
 * Man: of beans by telling her they were magic. But they weren't
 * Man: She sold some rare books from the library to cover her debts
 * Man: But her father would be incredibly annoyed
 * Man: If he ever found out - he might even throw her out of the house
 * Tell me about Elizabeth
 * Player: Tell me about Elizabeth
 * Man: Elizabeth? Elizabeth has a strange problem
 * Man: She cannot help herself, but is always stealing small
 * Man: objects - its pretty sad that she is rich enough to afford
 * Man: to buy things, but would rather steal them instead.
 * Man: Now, I don't want to spread stories, but I heard
 * Man: She even stole a silver needle from her father that
 * Man: had great sentimental value for him. He was devestated when
 * Man: it was lost, and cried for a week thinking he had lost it
 * Man: If he ever found out that it was her who had stolen it
 * Man: He would go absolutely mental, maybe even disowning her
 * Who do you think was responsible?
 * Player: Who do you think was responsible?
 * Man: well, I guess it could have been an intruder
 * Man: but with that big guard dog of theirs
 * Man: I seriously doubt it.
 * Man: I suspect it was someone closer to home...
 * Man: Especially as I heard that that poison salesman
 * Man: in the seers village made a big sale to one
 * Man: of the family the other day.
 * Why do the Sinclairs live so far from town?
 * Player: Why do the Sinclairs live so far from town?
 * Man: Well, they used to live in the big castle
 * Man: but old Lord Sinclair gave it up so that those
 * Man: strange knights could live there instead
 * Man: So the king built him a new house to the North
 * Man: Its more cramped than his old place, but he seemed to like it
 * Man: his children were furious at him for doing it though
 * I think the butler did it
 * Player: I think the butler did it
 * Man: And I think you've been reading too many
 * Man: cheap detective novels
 * Man: Hobbes is kind of uptight, but his loyalty
 * Man: to Old Lord Sinclair is beyond question
 * I am so confused about who did it
 * Player: I am so confused about who did it
 * Player: think you could give me any hints?
 * (A possible hint)
 * Man: well, I dont know if its related
 * Man: But I heard from that Poison Salesman in town
 * Man: That he sold some poison to one of the family the other day
 * Man: I don't think he has any stock left now though...
 * (Another possible hint)
 * Man: Well I don't know how much help this is
 * Man: but I heard that their guard dog will bark loudly at anyone
 * Man: it doesn't recognise
 * Man: maybe you should find out if anyone heard anything suspicious?
 * (Another possible hint)
 * Man: Well, this might be of some help to you
 * Man: My father was in the guards when he was younger
 * Man: and he always said that there isn't a crime that can't be
 * Man: solved through careful examination of the crime scene
 * Man: and all surrounding areas
 * (Another possible hint)
 * Man: I don't know how much help this is to you
 * Man: but my dad was in the guard once
 * Man: and he told me that the marks on your hands
 * Man: Are totally unique. He called them 'finger prints'
 * Man: He said you can find them easily on any shiny metallic surface
 * Man: By using a fine powder to mark out where the marks are
 * Man: and then using some sticky paper to lift the print from the object
 * Man: I bet if you could find a way to get everyones 'finger prints'
 * Man: you could solve the crime pretty easily
 * (Another possible hint)
 * Man: My father used to be in the guard.
 * Man: He always wrote himself notes on a piece of paper
 * Man: so he could keep track of information easily.
 * Man: Maybe you should try that?
 * Man: Don't forget to thank me if I help you solve the case!

After the quest

 * Man: I heard you solved the murder
 * Man: Was I of any help to you at all?
