#this command isn't working. maybe quest::return_items returns a false value when it gives soemthing back.
quest::say("These are not the pieces I need.");
}
}

That command does work, just doesn't for some reason in this specific quest, here is another quest I have that works perfect.

sub EVENT_SAY {     
  if($text=~/Hail/i){
    quest::say("Hail $class , How are ye today? If it's armor your wanting I'm your man. I have all the materials except a mold. If you can bring me a Mold I'll make you the best armor I've got. If it is a weapon you seek then you should speak to my brother.");
  }
  }
sub EVENT_ITEM { 
  if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16346 =>1)) { # tunic 
    quest::summonitem(4154); 
    quest::exp(500); 
    quest::emote("Bort smiles warmly as he hands you your reward.");
    quest::say("Enjoy Your new Breastplate");
    quest::ding();
  } 
  elsif(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16343 =>1)) { # sleeves 
    quest::summonitem(4155); 
    quest::exp(500);  
    quest::emote("Bort smiles warmly as he hands you your reward.");
    quest::say("Enjoy Your new Vambraces");
    quest::ding();     
  } 
  elsif(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16344 =>1)) { # leggings 
    quest::summonitem(4158); 
    quest::exp(500);  
    quest::emote("Bort smiles warmly as he hands you your reward.");
    quest::say("Enjoy Your new Leggings");
    quest::ding(); 
  } 
  elsif(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16345 =>1)) { # gauntlets 
    quest::summonitem(4157); 
    quest::exp(500);  
    quest::emote("Bort smiles warmly as he hands you your reward.");
    quest::say("Enjoy Your new Gauntlets");
    quest::ding();  
  } 
  elsif(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16299 =>1)) { # cap   
    quest::summonitem(4153); 
    quest::exp(500);  
    quest::emote("Bort smiles warmly as he hands you your reward.");
    quest::say("Enjoy Your new Cap");
    quest::ding(); 
  } 
  elsif(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16297 =>1)) { # bracers 
    quest::summonitem(4156); 
    quest::exp(500);  
    quest::emote("Bort smiles warmly as he hands you your reward.");
    quest::say("Enjoy Your new Bracer");
    quest::ding(); 
  } 
  elsif(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16298 =>1)) { # boots 
       quest::summonitem(4159); 
       quest::exp(500);  
       quest::emote("Bort smiles warmly as he hands you your reward.");
       quest::say("Enjoy Your new Boots");
       quest::ding();
      } 
    else { 
       plugin::return_items(\%itemcount); 
       quest::say("I can't do anything with this item! You can have it back."); 
    } 
  }

I do appreciate you taking the time to help with this quest though, honestly it was starting to drive me nuts.
