This is a sub-page of Diablo (Windows, Mac OS Classic).

All of the quests on this page, with the exception of "Strange Map", are using assumed names. While there is very little surviving information about these quests, a lot of the lore behind them wound up being used later on in Diablo II. Some mods and remakes such as Tchernobog have implemented them.

Strange Map

The map item for The Map of the Stars. This item icon was later reused in Hellfire.

Also known as: The Map of the Stars.

The player would presumably find a "Strange Map" item that would be given to Cain, and the player would be told its true purpose: it is a countdown timer for when Diablo will be "at the full height of his power." This quest is the most complete of the cut quests, and several pieces of evidence point to this quest being cut very late in development. (Indeed, in some prerelease screenshots, we can see a "Strange Map" quest present in some quest logs, which is probably either this quest or Wirt's treasure hunting map)

The inventory item graphic of the map and a line of dialogue from the quest are reused in Hellfire for the Grave Matters quest.

Watch on YouTube

There is a cinematic that would've played when the countdown timer runs out: /gendata/doom.smk. This video is directly referenced by the game code, but is inaccessible.

There is an unused series of frames located in /items/map/. It is meant to appear as a fullscreen graphic when the map is used, and shows how much longer there is in the countdown.

Finally, all of the townsfolk have conversation topics about the map.

According to lead game designer David Brevik, this quest was cut due to adding an undue sense of urgency to the gameplay.

The Butcher's Chamber

There is evidence that reaching the Butcher would have involved a small puzzle. For starters, an unused Smacker video file is included with the game: /gendata/fbutch3.smk. Smacker videos don't usually appear unless the player is entering a special area - for example, when reaching Lazarus' lair.

Additionally, there is dialogue from the townsfolk involving the Butcher's chamber:

File Name	Speaker	Transcript	Notes
bmaid09.wav	Gillian	How could you even think of going back to that place? What could be so important?
bsmith11.wav	Griswold	When I found Wirt, he was very near a room that sounds like the vile pit you've described. The stench of death was heavy in the air, and consumed as I was with getting the lad to safety, I did not go further than I had to. If he claims to know something of that place, I would not discount his word easily.
drunk11.wav	Farnham	(Crying) No, you can't make me go back there. I won't let you take me. Too much pain, too many dead. Can't... get the blood out of my eyes... my mouth... wails
healer09.wav	Pepin	I suppose it isn't beyond the realm of possibility if you could bear being in that room again. Your description of the atrocities committed there would be enough to keep me far from it.
pegboy21.wav	Wirt	Here over, psst! Chamber butcher the from spell portal town the cast. Saying am I what see?	Wirt is talking backwards. If each sentence is read backwards, it reveals how to reach the Butcher: "Psst, over here! Cast the town portal spell from the butcher chamber. See what I am saying?"
pegboy22.wav	Wirt	Yet out it figured you haven't. Understand could you even so simple it make to tried I. Chamber Butcher the from spell portal town the cast.	Again, Wirt is talking backwards here. Read correctly: "Haven't you figured it out yet? I tried to make it simple so even you could understand. Cast the town portal spell from the butcher chamber."
storyt11.wav	Deckard Cain	You must have been speaking with Wirt. His is a sad story indeed. That poor child was taken into the labyrinth by the demons, ripped from the very arms of his mother, Canace - may her soul rest in peace. The boy managed to escape, but only after they had chewed off his leg, and he has not been quite sane since. He often speaks in riddles, but his knowledge of the labyrinth may hold some truth.
tavown09.wav	Ogden	Wirt is talking backwards again? Groan I hate it when he does that. I don't have time to help you decipher his riddle, but I will tell you one thing: Don't get involved with that rapscallion.
witch11.wav	Adria	The lair of the Butcher is steeped in demonic power and casting any spell or passage there could cause...unexpected results.

Lair of the Worms

This quest involves clearing out worms from an unnamed townsfolk's cellar. An unused area exists for this lair, as well as dialogue, and some backing code related to worm enemies.

File Name	Speaker	Transcript	Notes
bmaid05.wav	Gillian	Wait, before you say anything, my grandmother had a dream with giant, slithering creatures in it. She also saw Pepin running from a house in the town. Do you think this means anything?
bsmith05.wav	Griswold	I've seen no such things in my shop, but I will keep a close watch for them. Perhaps if they come this way they won't take kindly to the fires of my forge.
drunk05.wav	Farnham	retching Listen, listen. I don't even like worms. Don't tell me about yer worms! I don't want yer worms! Nope, no thanks! slight hiccup/gag No worms for me.
healer23.wav	Pepin	Good hero, a moment of your time please. While attending one of the townsfolk who had taken quite ill, I noticed something odd about his home. There were strange sounds and a sickly sweet smell rising from the cellar. Thinking perhaps these fumes had something to do with his sickness. In his cellar were monstrous worms shifting and squirming up from the underground. I beg of you, slay these creatures before they can make their way into the town. I left the door to his house open for you. It is the one opposite of mine.	Presumably the start of the quest.
healer24.wav	Pepin	I fear that the worms could soon overrun the village. I know that they are coming up from under the house that is opposite mine. Just the thought of those slimy beasts oozing into my house makes me want to be ill. Please, rid us of them.
healer25.wav	Pepin	Once again you have saved this humble town from the encroaching evil. We are, as always, forever in your debt.	There's no mention of a reward here, so perhaps the reward is within the cellar itself.
pegboy05.wav	Wirt	Haha! They have you hunting worms now? What's next, leaf collecting? Picking up mushrooms? Look, friend, you have a whole church full of demons over there to worry about. I don't see how a few little worms could be so bad.	Italicized for irony.
storyt05.wav	Deckard Cain	Worms that rise up from the ground? Many of the ancient writings speak of poisonous insects and foul creatures of the skies and seas, plaguing mankind. It is no surprise that the very earth would offer up a similar peril now that the denizens of the underworld are upon us.
tavown03.wav	Ogden	That sounds quite disgusting, and I'm afraid that I haven't heard anything about any worms. Perhaps Cain the storyteller could be of some help.
witch05.wav	Adria	Seek out the domicile to which Pepin the healer has directed you. It is there that your missions will become clear and your methods evident.

Wirt's Treasure Map

This quest would've taken place entirely in town, and involves finding a secret treasure. Portions of the dialogue are reused for a quest in Hellfire.

File Name	Speaker	Transcript	Notes
bmaid17.wav	Gillian	A treasure map? Do you have it with you? Let me see. Hmm, it looks like this is pretty old, and some of the buildings in the town are not on this map. Oh, I wish I could go and look for the treasure with you, but I have to start work soon.
bsmith18.wav	Griswold	A what? This is foolishness! There's no treasure buried here in Tristram! Let me see that, uhh, look, these drawings are inaccurate. They don't match our town at all! I'd keep my mind on what lies below our cathedral and not what lies below our top soil.	This line of dialogue is used in Hellfire for the Grave Matters quest.
drunk18.wav	Farnham	Hey, lemme see that. blows nose Thanks!
healer17.wav	Pepin	I really don't have time to discuss some map you are looking for. I have many sick people that require my help, and yours as well.	This line of dialogue is used in Hellfire for the Grave Matters quest.
pegboy23.wav	Wirt	Groan Where is that stupid map? It was supposed to be between the rock and the tree before the bridge. Should be right...Oh, hello there. Didn't, uh, see you standing there.	There's only one possible location in the town that Wirt could be referring to. This line of dialogue presumably would've initiated the quest.
pegboy24.wav	Wirt	Rock, tree, bridge... I have no idea what you're talking about.
storyt19.wav	Deckard Cain	There was a time when this town was a frequent stop for travelers from far and wide. Much has changed since then, but hidden caves and buried treasure are common fantasies of any child. Wirt seldom indulges in youthful games, so it may just be his imagination.	This line is reused in Hellfire for the Grave Matters quest.
tavown17.wav	Ogden	I'll bet that Wirt saw you coming and put on an act just so he can laugh at you later when you are running around the town with your nose in the dirt. I'd ignore it.	This line is reused in Hellfire for the Grave Matters quest, but doesn't make much sense in the context of that quest.
witch19.wav	Adria	Maintain your quest. Finding a treasure that is lost is not easy. Finding a treasure that is hidden less so. I will leave you with this: Do not let the sands of time confuse your search.	This line is reused in Hellfire for the Grave Matters quest.

Fleshdoom/Shadowfang

This quest would've been given by Tremain, a cut townsfolk. Initially, it would've involved killing a demon known as Fleshdoom and retrieving his blade - Shadowfang. After giving the sword to Tremain, he dies, and his dying wish is to destroy Shadowfang in the Hellforge.

Two elements of this quest were reused in Diablo II. First, Shadowfang exists as a weapon in that game. The player also visits the Hellforge on two separate occasions - once ingame to destroy Mephisto's soulstone, and once in a prerendered cutscene to destroy Diablo's soulstone.

In the French translation guide, Tremain has no dialogue other than Archbishop Lazarus quest, suggesting Shadowfang quest was cut even before Archbishop Lazarus quest with Tremain was developed.

Unfortunately, all that exists of this quest ingame is the dialogue behind it.

File Name	Speaker	Transcript
bmaid15.wav	Gillian	I heard that the priest Tremain was going to perform an exorcism, but I didn't go. I don't see why we all have to spend every moment captive to what is lurking underneath our town. I know that many have died at the hands of these monsters, but we need to try to go on. I know that you have come here to free Tristram from the clutches of darkness, and I hope that one day we can live in peace again.
bsmith16.wav	Griswold	Ah, you speak of an ancient and evil weapon. Tread lightly in this area, for the legends of Shadowfang are as black as a moonless winter night. Crafted within the Hellforge, Shadowfang can rend the very soul from whoever it strikes. Griswold noise I do not envy you if it is in your mind to defeat the one who wields it. May light protect you, brave hero.
drunk16.wav	Farnham	You're gonna hunt down a demon, is that what you said? I know I didn't hear that, because nobody hunts down demons. No, nobody!
healer15.wav	Pepin	I was asked to assist in the exorcism. My skills were able to ease the poor man's suffering as Tremain drove the demon from his body. While I was treating him for an exceptionally high fever, he spoke of a place of searing heat. The tortured fellow cried out about Hell and falling into a pit of flame. I could not make any sense of it, and thankfully he soon recovered.
pegboy16.wav	Wirt	I don't know who this Fleshdoom is, but I have heard rumors of an ebon blade that cleaves a soul from the body. Even I would not try to sell that thing, no matter what the profit. If you find it, you should do what Tremain says and destroy it as quickly as possible.
storyt17.wav	Deckard Cain	The priest Tremain is a holy man from an ancient order. Their dealings with the evil forces at work are well respected and well documented. I too have heard legends that speak of a cursed demonblade called Shadowfang. It is said to consume the tortured souls of its victims. These souls are trapped within its ebon blade and augment its unholy power. I have also read of a great Hellforge where even the mightiest weapon could be created or destroyed. Tread carefully when dealing with Shadowfang and its master lest you be drawn into the sword as well.
tavown15.wav	Ogden	I saw the exorcism. It was incredible how Tremain drove the evil spirit from that man's racked and tortured body. I pray that something that horrific never happens to anyone here ever again.
witch17.wav	Adria	You must be ever watchful, for Fleshdoom is an enemy, who is both cruel and quick. His ebon blade is composed of the essence of evil. If you can destroy both of them, it would do much to weaken his dark master.

Island of the Sunless Sea

This quest would've been given by Farnham, and involves finding some kind of mythical location. Unfortunately, all that survives is unused dialogue in the final game. Notably, this is the only quest that Farnham is directly involved with - cut or otherwise.

File Name	Speaker	Transcript	Notes
bmaid14.wav	Gillian	Those are the words of a drunkard. I don't see how they could be true.
bsmith15.wav	Griswold	Farnham speaks of a place that exists, at least in legend. Warriors would go to a place at the edge of Hell to gird themselves for battle against the armies of darkness. If the stories are true, untold treasures could lie upon this island of the sunless sea.
drunk22.wav	Farnham	Hey you there, come here, listen up. You know about the island where angels watch? Pick the right rocks, but you better shield your eyes; shield everything! I know, 'cause I been there and... Mmmm, ale.	This would've started the quest.
healer14.wav	Pepin	For once I can vouch for Farnham's extraordinary claim. There are many mentions in the books that I have been reading about a place of great healing where warriors of light would go to mend the wounds sustained in the Sin War. If you could find this place it would most assuredly be to the benefit of us all.
pegboy15.wav	Wirt	This is one time that you should listen to Farnham. I have heard of this place, and I know a few sorcerers, who have tried to create a portal to get there.
storyt16.wav	Deckard Cain	Hmm, an island where angels watched? Although Farnham's memory is often cloudy these days, that does seem familiar. Perhaps the ancient chronicles of the Sin War can help us. Ah, yes, here is something. In a time long forgotten, a sea of blue rested on the edge of a fiery netherworld. This was an oasis for those who acted as the watchmen over the gates of Hell. Angels and warriors of light could use this place to heal themselves and gather their strength. It was also a staging area where they could train and prepare for the Sin War. Legends speak of a trinity of rocks that hide the path to this island of the sunless sea.
tavown14.wav	Ogden	You know, sometimes I wonder how much faith you can put into what Farnham says. He spends so much time reliving his memories of the labyrinth and just being plain drunk that he doesn't always make much sense. I guess you could ask around though.
witch16.wav	Adria	This legendary place is real. And great rewards await you should you find it. Nothing more can I say.

Izual

One of the cut quests involves hunting down a fallen angel named Izual. Presumably his blade, Azurewrath, would be the reward for killing him. This quest was repurposed for Act 4 in Diablo II. Unfortunately, all that exists is dialogue by the townsfolk, and some dialogue spoken by Izual. Notable is that this quest is initiated from Gillian, who otherwise doesn't have much of a role in the town besides being a gossip.

File Name	Speaker	Transcript	Notes
bmaid24.wav	Gillian	Pray your pardon, but I've something to tell you that you may find interesting. It was the strangest thing. While drinking at the tavern, Farnham was rambling about something called Azurewrath. He also said something about a fallen angel. It was hard to understand him because he was very drunk and disoriented, but I seem to remember something about a key in a barrel. He also kept covering his face and repeating the word 'Izual' over and over again.	This would've initiated the quest.
bmaid25.wav	Gillian	You know, now that I think about it, maybe it wasn't the key in a barrel, but the barrel that was the key. Does that make any more sense?
bmaid26.wav	Gillian	Azurewrath and Izual. I don't know why I didn't remember that story earlier. I've heard it often enough from my grandmother and Cain the storyteller. Well, I hope that my information was still more of a help than a hindrance. May light guide you, my friend.
bsmith09.wav	Griswold	The blade Azurewrath Griswold noise It's legend! It was cast by the angelic weaponsmith Cinadide, and tempered within the fires of judgment! Whoever wields this weapon will find the legions of Hell at his feet! If you found this blade, I would begin to truly believe that you could end the nightmare that has befallen our town.
drunk09.wav	Farnham	laughs Did you ever hear the one that Cain tells? laughs I love that one.
healer07.wav	Pepin	Farnham is often confused, but he speaks a powerful name when the word Izual passes his lips. Cain would be able to tell you in much greater detail the legend of this warrior.
pegboy09.wav	Wirt	If you were to find any trace of Izual or the blade Azurewrath, even I would be impressed. That is definitely one of a kind.
storyt09.wav	Deckard Cain	Farnham has taken to drinking quite heavily since his encounters in the labyrinth. But within the ramblings of this drunken man rests a legend well stepped in myth and mystery. Sit for a moment, my friend, and let me tell you of Izual and Azurewrath. The saga of Izual takes place during the lost battles in Hell. Izual was an angel who was given charge of a holy rune blade, Azurewrath. Leading a daring assault on the Hellforge, Izual was set upon by hundreds of blackened demons and was fatally wounded. The fiends cast the dying angel into a dark pit where the powers of chaos transformed him as he drowned in a whirlpool of burning blood. Evil possessed Izual. The feathers of his wings burned away to reveal leathery skin and horns ripped through the flesh of his head. When he finally arose from that black pit, Izual was an angel no more. Transformed into a creature of evil, he was once again given charge of Azurewrath, assuring that the blade would never again be used against the denizens of Hell.
tavown07.wav	Ogden	There is an old story of an angel named Izual, but I don't remember much more than that.
witch09.wav	Adria	The once proud Izual is trapped deep beneath the surface of this world. His honor stripped and his visage altered. He is trapped in immortal torment, charged to conceal the very thing that could free him.	Hellfire references this file twice in its code in the main dialogue table, but it still goes unused. The assigned fullscreen text for this dialogue incorrectly spells Izual's name ("Iswall").
izual01.wav	Izual	How much suffering, mortal, does it take before you lose your grace? Let me show you.	Spoken by Izual, probably either as a taunt or a fullscreen scrolling message. The voice actor here sounds fairly similar to the one who voiced Izual in Diablo II.

Andariel

This quest would've been something a little different. Instead of fighting a monster within the cathedral, this quest would've involved going into the forests outside of Tristram and fighting a succubus boss named Andariel. While this quest doesn't appear ingame, Andariel does appear as an act boss within Diablo II. Just like Izual, this quest is notable for being one of the only times that Gillian is involved in a quest - she does not give any quests or offer much besides gossip in the retail game.

File Name	Speaker	Transcript
bmaid21.wav	Gillian	Beg pardon, but have you heard what has been happening? Some of the men have vanished from the village. Dica's sons, Inaius and Roof, claim to have seen strange lights glowing deep within the woods a few days ago, but no one has heard from them since. I, too, have seen a crimson shimmering from beyond the ash groves, but I've been too afraid to approach it. I fear that Ogden or our healer Pepin may be next. Won't you please find out what has happened?
bmaid22.wav	Gillian	Have you looked into what has caused the strange lights yet? There are more men missing since last we spoke, and I'm beginning to fear that soon we may all vanish.
bmaid23.wav	Gillian	Demons that assume the form of beautiful women, you say? That's horrible! Thank the light that you solved this mystery before any more of our men were lured to their deaths. Thank you for keeping us safe from the powers of darkness once again.
bsmith06.wav	Griswold	I admit that I too have seen these strange lights, but I have not felt pulled towards them. I'll be sure to steer clear of them, and I'll tell everyone that visits here to do likewise.
drunk06.wav	Farnham	SNORE
healer04.wav	Pepin	Roof and Inaius are missing? Light protect us! Is there no place that is safe? Our only hope of returning to a peaceful life rests in you. Please, you must find those boys and bring them home to their family.
pegboy06.wav	Wirt	You know, I've been looking for those lights but I can't find them. If Gillian says they are there, uh, I believe her, but I've yet to see them for myself.
storyt06.wav	Deckard Cain	While the barmaid may seem a bit confused at times, it is true that men have been disappearing from the village. It reminds me of ancient writings about a demonic temptress called Andariel. Known as the Maiden of Anguish, her thirst for mortal blood was so great that she sought to learn a spell to breach the mortal realm. By seducing one of the dark sorcerers of the netherworld, Andariel took the knowledge she needed and so began to lure mortal men into her dark corner of Hell. If these legends are true, she is not a creature to be taken lightly.
tavown04.wav	Ogden	Gillian has been going on and on about strange lights in the trees, but I haven't been able to make heads nor tales of her story. I certainly haven't seen any strange lights, and if I did, they wouldn't be the least of my worries.
witch06.wav	Adria	The Succubus is a demon that feeds upon the essence of mortal men. You will find that Andariel has quite an appetite. The town will soon be devoid of any adult males unless you stop her feeding now.

Horazon's Sanctum

This quest seems to involve finding Horazon's journal and inner sanctum. There's some unused player character dialogue (see the subpage), several unused lever objects, and townsfolk dialogue involving the quest. Additionally, there's a line of dialogue labelled wlock01.wav which may or may not be related. The basic gist of the quest seems to involve infiltrating the sanctum and defeating two demons who are lieutenants of Azmodan and Belial, as well as possibly Horazon himself. Elements of this quest are appear in later entries of the Diablo series. Towards the end of Act II in Diablo II, the player character visits Horazon's Arcane Sanctuary and read his journal. Belial and Azmodan feature as Act-end bosses in Diablo III.

File Name	Speaker	Transcript	Notes
bmaid07.wav	Gillian	This is something that is far beyond anything I have ever learned. I can only think of one person in all of Tristram who could help you. Cain, of course.
bsmith08.wav	Griswold	A bode tale indeed. My limited time beneath the cathedral leaves me poorly equipped to offer you any help of this. But, as always, you'll find Cain well versed in legends and folklore.
drunk08.wav	Farnham	Sounds like a good idea to me. Ya better get started right awaaay.
healer06.wav	Pepin	Horazon was insane. Thereare forces with which one does not interfere. It would not surprise me if you found only the charred remains of this damned fool.
pegboy08.wav	Wirt	The care and feeding of demons is definitely not an interest of mine. Here is a piece of friendly advice: If you get the chance, kill anything you see down there.
storyt08.wav	Deckard Cain	So, you seek knowledge concerning the wars of Hell, do you? Cryptic tomes speak of great battles that determine which of the demonic lords were to rule over Hell. They also mention a bitter rivalry between two of these lords: Azmodan, who led the Horned Death against the armies of light, and Belial, known as the Lord of Lies. Their hatred of each other is eternal. The reasons for their loathing, lost even to themselves. Tales abound that the mad wizard Horazon somehow trapped the lieutenants of these two lords of hell within his sanctum. There can be no more dangerous a path to tread than the one that runs alongside of demons. Should you also seek this path, watch your life and your soul very carefully, my friend.
tavown06.wav	Ogden	These sound like dark creatures indeed. I am ignorant in matters of this nature, but I would assume that our storyteller may know of such legends.
witch08.wav	Adria	You must destroy the two demons that Horazon has trapped within his sanctum at all costs. Should they escape from their imprisonment, they will create a link to this world that will make what lies below the cathedral seem like a children's tale.
wlock01.wav	Unknown (possibly Horazon or Grimspike)	Mortal, free me from my imprisonment and your reward will be more than you can imagine. Read the book, and I will be released.	The speaker of this line is unknown, and it could be either Horazon, Grimspike, or completely unrelated to this quest.

Side Quests

Many of the townsfolk have dialogue for small "side quests" that aren't discussed with other townsfolk. These range from simple fetch quests to more elaborate, multi-stage treasure hunts. Since the item(s) desired by the character isn't explicitly stated, perhaps the goal item was to be randomized, similar to Skyrim's radiant quest system.

Deckard Cain and Farnham are the only townsfolk that don't have any side quests.

File Name	Speaker	Transcript	Notes
bmaid27.wav	Gillian	My grandmother often tells me stories about the strange forces that inhabit the graveyard outside of the church, and it may well interest you to hear one of them. She said that if you were to leave the proper offering in the cemetary, enter the cathedral to pray for the dead, and then return, the offering would be altered in some strange way. I don't know if this is just the talk of an old, sick woman, but anything seems possible these days.	This is used in Hellfire to initiate the Grave Matters quest.
bmaid28.wav	Gillian	I know that my grandmother's story seems strange, but the graveyard does have many mysteries surrounding it. It couldn't hurt you to put something there and see what happens, could it? Maybe you will find out something that will help us all.
bmaid29.wav	Gillian	My grandmother had a dream about you last night! She said that in her dream, you used your bare hands to defeat one of those foul monsters that lurk under the church. When it died, it exploded into fabulous treasure. Although she was a bit frightened by her dream, she was able to describe the beast quite clearly to me...
bmaid30.wav	Gillian	My grandmother had that exact same dream again! She said you were quite brave and seemed very pleased with your prize.
bsmith27.wav	Griswold	I'm in luck. A caravan has stopped just outside the village, and is taking supplies to the lands of the east. Certain items will bring a special price, if you can get them for me.
bsmith28.wav	Griswold	We can both turn a nice profit if you deliver the right goods to me. What do you say?
bsmith29.wav	Griswold	Ah, you're just in time. The caravan is leaving tonight. Here is your cut, friend.
bsmith30.wav	Griswold	I believe that I may have found a way to greatly improve some weapons. If you can bring me what I need, I'd be willing to try out my idea, and if it works, it's yours.
bsmith31.wav	Griswold	Ah, I still think I can improve the right weapon.
bsmith32.wav	Griswold	Let me just do this...and this...and this. Ah! It works. Take this back, and give it a try.
bsmith33.wav	Griswold	I'm working on a method for strengthening armor. Unfortunately, I don't have what I need just now. If you could possibly bring me what I require, the first one is yours.
bsmith34.wav	Griswold	I still think I can strengthen the right armor. You know what you need to bring me.
bsmith35.wav	Griswold	Good find! See if this works any better for you.
bsmith36.wav	Griswold	If you come across any enchanted equipment, I could try to learn how it was crafted, and then use those methods for my own creations. I should probably start with something easy...
bsmith37.wav	Griswold	I still think that I can strip the knowledge of enchantments, if you bring me a certain item.
bsmith38.wav	Griswold	Thank you! Oh great and mighty customer...uh, champion. This will take some study...done!
bsmith39.wav	Griswold	Keep your eyes open for a figurine made of iron. I have uncovered some old records concerning a specific type of figurine, and the secrets of metalcrafting that it holds.
bsmith40.wav	Griswold	I know that the right figurine could be quite powerful. If you see what I'm looking for, get it, and bring it to me straight away.
bsmith41.wav	Griswold	Oh, the secrets of this metal are fantastic! Oh, how I could make the right item gleam with power...
bsmith42.wav	Griswold	If you deliver to me the right item so I can combine it with this metal...I could craft something worthy of the warriors of heaven!
bsmith43.wav	Griswold	Your efforts are not in vain. It seems that all is as I had hoped. I trust that you will find this useful in your battles below.
healer28.wav	Pepin	My friend, I must speak with you. While going to help a sick villager, I came upon a demon in the town. I fled from the house...and accidentally left the door open in my haste. I pray that the vile creature is still in there. Please, help us, before it comes for us all!
healer29.wav	Pepin	These creatures must be banished from our town. To my shame, I left the door open, but that should make it all the more easier for you to find the house.
healer30.wav	Pepin	Once again, the town is in your debt. It is only your strength and force of will that can lead us out of this evil time.
healer31.wav	Pepin	Once again, I require your strong arm and quick wits to aid the people of this town. I am in need of certain reagants to help fight the plagues that the demons have unleashed on the land by their very presence. If you can gather these few items, it will save many lives.
healer32.wav	Pepin	The diseases spread quickly, and many are dying. Please, help me by finding the reagants, so that I can use them to make an antidote.
healer33.wav	Pepin	Thank you so much. You bring hope and light to these dark and troubled times. I wish for you to have this, in the hopes that it will aid you in your battle against the darkness.
healer34.wav	Pepin	I know that I ask much of you, but I must now ask that you find a pool of clear water. Take these containers. Fill them, and return them to me as soon as you can. With the clear water, I can create an elixir of wonderous power that will benefit us all.
healer35.wav	Pepin	Have you got what I need? The clear water will allow me to create a very powerful elixir. Fill the containers that I gave you, and return with them.
healer36.wav	Pepin	Very good, my friend! Very good! Just give me a minute to mix these ingredients...perfect! Here is some of the elixir, as promised.
pegboy25.wav	Wirt	Look, I know my prices are high, but...one of my contacts had an...accident, and I need some help refilling my more mundane inventory. I'll trade you a quality item, if you can just complete this little list for me.
pegboy26.wav	Wirt	Listen, I'll make it worth your time if you'll get me what I asked you for. Besides, you know you want to find out what I'm going to give you in return...
pegboy27.wav	Wirt	Thanks. This should hold me over until I can find a new errand boy. Too bad you're so busy. Oh yeah, here's your part of the bargain.
pegboy28.wav	Wirt	Psst, over here! I have something very special for sale today. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I can just tell that it's great. I'm going to offer you a bargain: a thousand gold takes it, right now, no questions, and no returns!
pegboy29.wav	Wirt	Hey you! Yeah, I'm talking to you! I...acquired this strange book. I know it must do something big, but you need a crystal eyepiece to read it, so it's useless to me. However, I would be willing to trade you this rare and mystical tome, for just a few things.
pegboy30.wav	Wirt	Look, this very special book that I have can be yours for so little. Don't tell anyone what a great deal I'm giving you, or it would ruin my reputation...
pegboy31.wav	Wirt	Amazing! You actually found everything I wanted. Well, here's the book, but you're going to have to find a crystal eyepiece to read it. Good luck!
tavown26.wav	Ogden	Your brave tales of fighting demons have reminded me of something, good master. A traveler passed through here some time ago. He was quite proud of a very unique weapon he held, and while becoming quite drunk, boasted of its power. I never saw him again, and I suspect that he ventured too close to the cathedral.
tavown27.wav	Ogden	Have you ever seen that traveler I told you about? The one with the enchanted weapon? Well, I suppose that he left our village as so many others have, or he must be dead.
tavown28.wav	Ogden	Yes, that is certainly the weapon that he wore. You know, I've been thinking about something else that traveler said. He inferred that the true powers of the weapon would be unleashed only when it tasted the blood of a very specific kind of creature.
tavown29.wav	Ogden	Were the stories the traveler told is true? Oh, I see you don't know yet. Well, I clearly recall that he said by slaying a certain monster, the weapon you found would become something quite special.
tavown30.wav	Ogden	While I understand that your purpose may be of a higher calling, surely some well-earned gold would be welcomed. Some townspeople from a nearby village have offered a reward for the destruction of a creature that razed their homes and property. They demand positive proof that the creature has been slain, and I can only think of one way to do that...
tavown31.wav	Ogden	You can say whatever you want, but without proof, I cannot give you the reward.
tavown32.wav	Ogden	Ugh, disgusting! But certainly proof enough for anyone. Here is your reward, as promised.
tavown33.wav	Ogden	Good master, a moment of your time please. My tavern was broken into during the night. Noone was hurt, but many items were stolen, including a chest belonging to a mysterious wanderer who once stayed here. I found the body of a thief near the cathedral, with telltale wounds from one of the creatures below marking his broken body. Some of the stolen goods were near the body, but the chest, and the key to open it, were nowhere in sight. If you should find those keys while on your brave crusade, you should recover them, then, if you find the chest, you can open it and see what secrets it contains. Perhaps it can be something that can help you on your quests.
tavown34.wav	Ogden	Remember good master: the chest is locked, and useless without the key. If you do find the chest and get the key, you should see what's inside. I...don't expect the owner back here again.
tavown35.wav	Ogden	I see that you have the key. Now you just need the chest that it belongs to.
witch27.wav	Adria	Hello, good friend. I have been working on a means to increase the strength of my potions. I believe that I could brew better potions if you could just find me the correct reagants.	Potions can't be upgraded in the final game.
witch28.wav	Adria	Remember, with the correct reagants, my potions are more powerful.
witch29.wav	Adria	Excellent! Just a pinch should do it...ah! Here is a sample.
witch30.wav	Adria	It seems that there are many uses for the scrolls which are found beneath the church. I should be able to scribe a book of magic if I had enough of the proper scrolls to study.	In the final game, the player isn't able to combine scrolls into books; this is an unused feature.
witch31.wav	Adria	Remember, with enough scrolls, I can create a book of magic for you.
witch32.wav	Adria	Yes, I can see that when I combine these scrolls just so...I will teach you what I have learned so that you may also know more secrets of this magic.
witch33.wav	Adria	I have a quest for you, if you are brave enough to accept it. Great power can be found in some of the devices that may be hidden below the church. With the right ones, I could work wonders!
witch34.wav	Adria	Remember, the right device in my hands can become quite powerful!
witch35.wav	Adria	This is amazing! The mystic energies in this crystal are powerful, but unfocused. If you could find for me a specific staff to channel its power through...
witch36.wav	Adria	The crystal holds a magic that is strong, but you need to find the correct staff with which to focus its energy.
witch37.wav	Adria	Hand me that staff, and stand back! ...... It is complete!

sfx/towners/bmaid20.wav	Gillian	The best person to ask about that sort of thing would be our storyteller. Cain is very knowledgeable about ancient writings, and that is easily the oldest looking piece of paper that I have ever seen.
sfx/towners/bsmith20.wav	Griswold	I've never seen a map of this sort before. Where'd you get it? Agh. Although I've no idea how to read this, Cain or Adria may be able to provide the answers that you seek.
sfx/towners/drunk21.wav	Farnham	Listen here, come close. I dunno if you know what I know, but you have really got something here. That's a map.	This is used in Hellfire for the Grave Matters quest.
sfx/towners/healer19.wav	Pepin	I can't make much of the writing on this map, but perhaps Adria or Cain could help you decipher what this refers to. I can see that it is a map of the stars in our sky, but any more than that is beyond my talents.
sfx/towners/pegboy20.wav	Wirt	I've been looking for a map, but that certainly isn't it. You should show that to Adria. She can probably tell you what it is. I'll say one thing: It looks old. And old usually means valuable.
sfx/towners/storyt22.wav	Deckard Cain	So, the legend of the map is real. Even I never truly believe any of it. I suppose it is time that I told you the truth about who I am, my friend. You see, I am not all that I seem. My true name is Deckard Cain the Elder, and I am the last descendant of an ancient brotherhood that was dedicated to keeping and safeguarding the secrets of a timeless evil. An evil that quite obviously has now been released. The evil that you move against is the Dark Lord of Terror, known to mortal men as Diablo. It was he who was imprisoned within the labyrinth many centuries ago. The map that you hold now was created ages ago to mark the time when Diablo would rise again from his imprisonment. When the two stars on that map align, Diablo will be at the height of his power. He will be all but invincible. You are now in a race against time, my friend. Find Diablo and destroy him before the stars align for we may never have a chance to rid the world of his evil again.	Note that Deckard Cain reveals himself in the final game during the Archbishop Lazarus quest, which makes this point rather redundant.
sfx/towners/storyt23.wav	Deckard Cain	Our time is running short! I sense his dark power building and only you can stop him from attaining his full might.
sfx/towners/storyt24.wav	Deckard Cain	I'm sure that you tried your best, but I fear that even your strength and will may not be enough. Diablo is now at the height of his earthly power. You need all your courage and strength to defeat him. May the light protect and guide you, my friend. I will help in any way that I am able.	Would've played if the quest was failed (and Diablo is at his full power)
sfx/towners/tavown20.wav	Ogden	If the witch can't help you and suggests that you see Cain, what makes you think that I would know anything? It sounds like this is a very serious matter. You should hurry along and see the storyteller as Adria suggests.
sfx/towners/witch21.wav	Adria	Oh, I'm afraid this does not bode well at all. This Map of the Stars portends great disaster! But its secrets are not mine to tell. The time has come for you to have a very serious conversation with the storyteller.
