The addition of lore texts got me thinking about messages and this leads me on to my first idea:

Delivery/Rescue Quests The NPC will ask you to deliver a message or item(s) to another NPC who will show up on the map with a marker. If you accept the task he will give you the message/items as well as a deadline. When you enter the second NPCs chunk he will spawn, if you give them the items/complete the task, they will reward you. Failure to meet the deadline will result in a moderate alignment penalty, once accepted these cannot be declined.

Examples:

Hobbit: It is my cousin {choose|name:hobbit_male}s birthday in three weeks, please deliver him this card and cake. I haven't seen him since he left home for {choose|shire_waypoint}. We would both appreciate so much if you could help us.

Erebor Dwarf: I have not seen or heard from {choose|name:dwarf_male} for many months. I have been worrying about his safety since he decided to visit relatives in the blue mountains. It is my belief he has been {choose|imprisoned by elves. Please deliver this message and bread to him and help my kin/captured by spiders. Please find him and kill the wicked beasts. Send him my regards. He will always be welcome in my hearth.} (In this second possibility, a no. of spiders will spawn as guards. You must kill each without the dwarf dying to receive your reward.)
