Good, Hayunn now replies to the trigger "quest". He does not, however, reply to "task". All other NPCs accept both words as synonym. A simple solution would be to add a second ''npc.addReply'' line. But there is a better way which makes it very easy to add additional synonyms later. We predefined lists of commonly used [http://arianne.cvs.sf.net/viewvc/arianne/stendhal/src/games/stendhal/server/entity/npc/ConversationPhrases.java?view=markup ConversationPhrases]. If there are already conversation phrases defined for the triggers that you would like to add, you should use the phrases.
