Try Emma’s Forest Racing Trail

Yes Rita. I don’t have a horse here, so it hasn’t been easy setting up a working racing trail… We’ll test it together and you can tell me what you think later. Come on now, pick me up on Summerblaze and we’ll ride it together! Yeehaw!

Quest completed

Alex is ready to catch the Dark Rider that is to pick up Justin’s horse. Let’s go see her outside the riding arena.

Observation Place Number 2

Now it is time. I thought I would watch the Southern Gate here. I thought you could watch the southern beach in Goldenhills Valley, just down from the broken bridge that goes over the ravine that makes a natural wall between the beach and the Goldenleaf Forest, you know. I’ve marked the place on your map.

I’ve sent other friends to other locations on the Golden Road, and around the Labyrinth Coast so I think we have the area quite well covered.

Objectives: Ride over to your lookout post that Alex assigned to you. She has marked the location on your map.

Go to the marked place to begin your stakeout.

Proposal for Alex

Okay then Rita! Well followed! So the Dark Rider took Justin’s horse past the Northern Gate? What is up there and who’s there? Why are they taking Justin’s horse there? There are questions we’ll never know the answers to if we can’t get past that gate in some way… Do you have any good ideas?

Objectives: Tell Alex what you think we should do here next.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

See here, I’m full of good ideas!

Does Jasper Have Any Ideas?

Jasper is close by! We’ll see you at his place!

You are wondering what is past the Northern Gate? Well youngsters, it was a long, long time ago that I was there… But I’ll try to remember.

______________

An Old Man Tries to Remember

My memory is letting me down. It was over twenty years ago that I last set foot in the area past the North Gate. It should be open after the winter, just like the Southern Gate, if I remember right… I might have heard that it has been locked for a decade since I left… And hasn’t been opened since. But now we need to see if I can remember anything about the area past the gate…

Objectives: Listen to Jasper and see what he can remember…

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Think, think, think!

That’s right… There was a wood and a nice summer house there! And a road that led to an old fort if I remember right. The summer house in the area was owned by Mayor Klaus and his adorable wife, whose name I can’t remember right now… Wow, that was a long time ago. I remember eating pumpkin ice cream on the porch in the summer…

Quest completed

______________

A Chat with Klaus

Okay. It seems like someone is living beyond the Northern Gate and it just might be they are staying at the Mayor’s old summer place… Now we have something to check out. Ride over to Cape West Fishing Village and speak with Klaus. Ask him about his summer house and about his wife. Also ask to borrow the Key to the City so we can open the Northern Gate. I’ll watch the gate to see if the Dark Rider or anyone else comes out… Or possibly for anyone else coming in. We’ll see you there later.

Objectives: Speak with Mayor Klaus in Cape West Fishing Village about his old summer home.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Ride to the village and speak with Klaus.

Better a Mayor in the Hand…

Oh. You know what? I think I have to rush off now. I’m pretty sure I won’t remember anything about that… I think I need to go right now. Bye bye!

Objectives: Hunt down Klaus in the village! He is running away and doesn’t want to talk.

Rewards:10 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Stupid man… How silly of you to run away from a person on a horse…

You caught me Rita. A bit dumb of me to think I could just run away from you and your horse. I can’t run away from you and I certainly can’t run away from my past…

Quest completed

______________

The Tragic Wife

Oh well. You can’t run away from your past. I’ll tell you everything.

My wife and I were so happy together… And we had a wonderful summer house together beside a mountain lake north of the gate. But my wife became interested in hocus-pocus type things… And she began to brew strange witch potions. I was really worried about her.

Finally, one day I returned to find our beautiful mountain lake had changed into a dark swamp! And my wife… She had turned into an evil witch!

There was nothing I could do for her! It is my biggest regret… She is still there completely lost in her potions and witchcraft.

So… You also want to speak to her?

Objectives: Speak with Klaus.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Yes, I would like to speak with her.

I don’t think she will listen to a word you say, my friend. My dear wife is gone and that witch is all that remains. It breaks my hear just to think about it. For my part I would still appreciate it if you would try and speak wit her.

You have helped me and the village a great deal already. Of course if there is anything I can do to help you, I absolutely need to do it.

Quest completed

______________

Past the Northern Gate

Here is the Key to the City. With this key you can also unlock the Northern Gate. Good luck now. If you manage to speak with my witch wife… Please tell her I still love her and would like nothing more than to have her come home again.

Objectives: Unlock the North Gate and speak with Alex.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride up to the Northern Gate and unlock it with the key. Then speak to Alex.

The gate is open now… Hurray! I can take the key and give it back to Klaus later. I have some things to take care of in Cape West anyways.

Quest completed

______________

Are There Witches Here?

Okay then. Ride in and see if you can find the witch. I agree with you that the witch and the Dark Rider probably have something awful in mind for Justin’s poor horse. She can definitely give us some information on where we might find Justin. Be careful! I’ll keep watching the gate for as long as I can. I’ll be here if you need help!

Objectives: Find the Mayor’s old house and his wife the witch.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride north down into the swamp and ride on the boardwalk to the back of the swamp to get to the witch’s house. Be careful to not fall into the swamp water.

Hahaha! Abracadabra! You think you can just walk in here and get me to tell you anything you want? You ARE funny! Now I think I’ll transform you and your silly horse to teach you a lesson!

Quest completed

Ride back to the gate to speak with Alex.

A Real Nasty Witch

You were turned into a frog? Oh my… Luck it wasn’t for very long.

So the Mayor’s wife is also the witch Pi and is not really that willing to help. And she has Justin’s horse in a big cage… Hmm… We need to think of something to do. Linda is pretty clever and isn’t too far away. Ride over to Linda at the Equestrian Center and ask her what she thinks we should do. I’ll keep watching the gate so nobody can sneak in and move Justin’s horse without us knowing about it.

Objectives: Speak with Lind at the Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Meet up with Linda at the Winery stable and tell her what has happened.

Heya Rita! I have a lot on the go right now but if you say it is really important I will absolutely help out. That’s what friends are for.

Winery Library

Okay. I understand. You need a way to get that witch Pi to talk to you. Poor Klaus having his wife turned into a witch. Hopefully we can find a way to bring back Pi so she turns into the nice woman she once was.

Well, I don’t have a solution in mind. I think we’ll actually have to do some research on this one. It is time to visit the Library. The Winery has a fantastic Library. I’ve spent many hours with my nose buried in those exciting books. Come on. Let’s go!

Objectives: Follow Linda to the Winery Library. Go in through the east entrance to the main building.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Walk with Linda to the Winery building, then dismount your horse to go inside the building. Meet Linda inside.

What do you think? Pretty amazing right? A really good library, full of the collected knowledge of hundreds of years. You can almost feel how much the books really want to push their knowledge into someone’s mind! So much to read… So little time…

Quest completed

______________

Find the Right Thing in the Right Book

The thing is we need to find the right book to find the answer to how to turn the witch back into her old, kind self… Or at least get her to talk to us and tell the truth. I’ll sit down here and start looking through the Witchopedia first. You can look through the library and maybe you can find some books about witches. If you find any, bring them here.

Go to the end of the west-most southern dock, and place the net there. Return to Mr Trout when you are done.

Thank you for your help Rita! You really need a lot of energy and patience to be a big fisherman like me, Mr K Trout. At first I thought you were a little minnow, but I’m beginning to think you have what it takes to be a big shark like me. Maybe you would be interested in joining us in the world’s best fishing club? We’ll see if you have what it takes to be a member of the Jorvik Fishing Club.

Quest completed

______________

Do You Want to Be a Big Fisherman?

I have a suggestion, Rita. Do you want to be a big fisherman like me? If you say yes then I will teach you how to catch fish and then later you can earn extra Jorvik Shillings by helping me fish. If you think you have what it takes then we can see about making you a member in the Jorvik Fishing Club. All the best fishermen are members there.

Every day I’ll need fish that are in demand. Fishing is the most fun thing ever. Do you want to be a big fisherman?

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik Fishing Club

Sure, why not?

Great Rita! I’ll teach you everything I know! You will need to prepare before you fish. First and foremost you definitely need a fishing rod. You can buy that from Mr Loop at the fishing store. If you like you can buy fishing clothes there too… But you don’t really need it to fish… It is just cool to have.

Why don’t you come back tomorrow when you have bought a fishing rod and I’ll let you test out fishing for a bit and we’ll see how it goes.

Quest completed

You can buy the fishing rod now, or wait until tomorrow, but you will need to buy one from Mr Loop to continue the quests.

Return to Mr Trout tomorrow.
