*'''Stage 100:''' Quest completed! ''(this stage is not really necessary, as we could call the quest complete at stage 30, but whatever).

Not every stage has to be used as the quest progresses, so if the player accepts the quest straight off, stages 20 and 25 will never be required.

Right, that's the quest planned out, now let's write the entries that will appear in the player's journal for each stage. To do this select the stage, then use our favourite mouse button to create a new journal entry via the grid in the top right (the entry itself is written in the box below, entitled 'Log Entry'!) and enter in something appropriate. We don't need to enter an entry for Stage 100 though as that will be used as more of a housekeeping stage. You'll notice the other major items in the 'Quest Stages' tab are a result script box and a conditions box. We'll be using the result script box a little later as it can be very useful. Conditions are not used as often but are occasionally useful to have a subtly different quest entry depending on what the player has and has done (See the quest MG08 for an example).
