Have you done any of the tutorials? I would recommend doing those before even thinking of starting an RPG.

Text can be put to the screen with dbText()

As far as quest, the simplest type of quest is one where you would need to get an object then return it to whoever gave yo the quest. So first you would need to create an inventory system. Then after you create your inventory system, you would create a function to check whether the character has obtained that particular item, then if that was true you would mark that quest as complete and allow the character to turn it in.

Asking how to do an inventory is a rather difficult thing to explain without knowing how you want it to work and many other details. The most basic inventory system would consist of an array and having it store some sort of record of the item(s) in it. You may want to start with something that is more simple so you can get an idea of certin concepts that will be required to create an rpg.

Another idea may be to create a completly seperate test program that you can mess around with to figure out how you want to make your inventory system. Maybe some sort of array/record handling program that can give you a grasp of handling an inventory.

I agree with the above poster. An inventory system is not something you can just tell someone how to program. You have to just try and figure it out yourself, thats what programming is all about, if you don't want to figure anything out for yourself I recommend using RPG Maker, or some kind of pre built engine where everything is already set up. Programming a game yourself entails hours and hours of hard work, and I doubt you'll find someone that is just going to give you a tailor made inventory system after they spent like 6 hours putting it together. And even if they did, it doesn't sound like you'd really understand the concept of it at this point. Not trying to be rude at all but its a more advanced topic that just putting a couple of lines in your code.
You deal with things like Item ID's, multidimensional arrays, Classes, etc which are pretty advanced in C++, you won't be dealing with anything in DarkGDK at this point.
