Write dialogue for Template Elder #1102
Description
The current LoreQuest Elder and StoryQuest Elder have quite similar dialogue to one another. The main difference is that the StoryQuest Elder says:
Become the hero, and see where the path leads.
which is meant to indicate that the hero of a StoryQuest is normally not StoryWeaver, and that these stories are not part of the main plotline.
Currently the StoryQuest Elder offers the player the Template StoryQuest, but we would like to move this to a third elder. Write a new variation of this dialogue that indicates that the quests being offered are templates, intended to be explored & adapted by contributors. (Reach out to @saspiers for guidance if needed!)
The new dialogue should be added to the project in the same directory & format as the existing dialogue files. You can edit it in the Dialogue tab of the editor. (Reach out to us if you need pointers.)

TemplateQuest Elder: [[Hi|Hello|Greetings]]! We've been waiting for you. Our world is full of stories!
TemplateQuest Elder: We have some StoryQuest templates for you to explore. These stories are yours to adapt and make your own!
do show_storybook()
if chosen_quest == null:
% TemplateQuest Elder: Take a look at these templates. Perhaps one will inspire a story of your own!
% TemplateQuest Elder: These stories are waiting to be explored, adapted, and brought to life!
% TemplateQuest Elder: We hope you'll find something that sparks your imagination!
else:
TemplateQuest Elder: Explore the template, adapt the story, and see where the path leads.

TemplateQuest Elder: Go on: take your story to the Eternal Loom.

@edwardvilcamonje-max good work! There is a single template so far, so maybe you can take that into account? Please open a pull request and we can continue from there.

Hi! I've already uploaded the changes and opened a pull request. However, I accidentally ended up with two commits instead of one because I wasn't able to combine them. Sorry about that!

Is everything okay, or is there anything else missing?
manuq commentedon Aug 31, 2026
No problem, I closed one and left the other open. Also I just reviewed it.

@edwardvilcamonje-max you should edit the existing dialogue file.
edwardvilcamonje-max commentedon Sep 4, 2026
I’ve corrected it. Is it okay now?
manuq commentedon Sep 4, 2026
Please ask a mentor for help!
