Quest trouble

[jdam7459]

hello everyone. im having some trouble with my quests working properly. when i hail the npcs in-game they do not respond but i have hail responses for all of them, here's a sample quest for Captain Gramosi in the tutorial zone.

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/Hail/i)
{
quest::say("ARGH always being interrupted! Do you not know that we have a city to save! Move along citizen!");
}

elsif($text=~/Woljag/i)
{
quest::say("Oh, I see. Sorry for being so rude then. I would let you join this regiment but...");
quest::emote("leans over an whispers...");
quest::say("You look like you have come prepared compared to these men.");
quest::emote("laughs.");
quest::say("So will you be needing some combat [supplies]?");
}

elsif($text=~/supplies/i)
{
quest::say("Here you go, what was it, $name? It's not much but you will be surprised how helpful it will be. Oh, and I you need [spells] also, let me know.");
quest::exp(1000);
quest::givecash(0,5,7,2);
quest::summonitem(99907);
}


elsif($text=~/spells/i}
{
quest::say("Evoker Eriona has some beginner's spells that she managed to salvage from North Qeynos. Speak with her about this matter. The blessing of Mithaniel Marr be upon you always!");
quest::selfcast(202);
quest::say("Oh, and give this to the armorer, he'll know what to do.");
quest::summonitem(9990;
}
}

this is saved as Captain_Gramosi.pl in eqemu\quests\tutorial directory. if someone could please help me with this it would be greatly appreicated! Thanks!
