All of the PORTRAIT images of quest related NPC's have been uploaded in advance for use with this template only. You can find all of the NPC portraits on the NPC Dialogue Portraits page.

To create a new Dialogue box just go to the page where you want to add it, click once to place your cursor where you want to put the Dialogue box within the page you are editing, then press the Dialogue box button. dialogue.png Please type the NPC's text exactly as it was originally typed in the game. It is possible that not all the NPC portrait images have been uploaded. If you can not find the portrait you need within the NPC Dialogue Portraits page, please let Schot know at DarkMatters.

|NPC PAGE=YOUR TEXT to the template. Example:

{{S2 Dialogue
|NPC NAME=Kobold Chieftain
|NPC PAGE=Kobold Chieftain - Happy Cow Farm
|PORTRAIT FILE NAME=Kobold-Chieftain-dialog.png
|DIALOGUE=Stop, hold! No hurting! You can have the Human women, take them. They wanted to clean up... ARGH! CLEAN UP! Make everything tidy! No, no, no, me no want that!}}

|BUTTON2=Decline
|DIALOGUE=Sacrifice to Forens and receive my blessing.<br /><br /> Here at the Rock Temple the goddesses presence can be felt, don't you agree? No?
