We just have a few mobs that look inside a player and, deciding upon
that they see, do different things. Mostly they say hello, but
occasionally they will give directions (to the fountain if the player
is thirsty or to the shop if they are hungry). They can also offer
players quests if conditions are right:

Makes the mob say hello and tell the player that they are ready to
graduate if they are a 10th or higher level undergraduate, have 60 or
more points of education and have not already graduated (deed 56). If
the arriving player doesn't meet those conditions and isn't charmed,
then he runs script 1 which makes him just smile and say hello:

All programmed through the CthulhuMud OLC. Of course, it won't
responsed
to speech yet, although you can ask him about graduation, students and
the
observatory.
