A New Girl at the Stable

loretta2

Hey, did you hear? I’m, like, dying here. Totes don’t understand what someone like THAT is even doing here. Believe me, she’s not a Bobcat. Like, she’s got NO style and as if that’s not enough, she’s like to totally worse than you when you got here. What a noob.

You dunno what I’m talking about? Seriously?! You haven’t heard? There’s this new girl visiting the stable. Thomas Moorland even asked Julie to lend her horse to her! Honestly! She’ll never get to ride my horse, she can forget it.

But hey, if she’s here to stay, I wanna know more about her. You need to get the lowdown on her to see if she’ll make a good Bobcat or not.

Why I can’t do it? Umm, really?! You’re the funniest. Of course I can’t talk to her, I need to make sure she’s worth my time first. 

Listen, just ask the other Bobcats and see if they’ve heard anything, okay?

Objectives: Ask around and see if anyone knows anything about the new girl, then talk to Loretta.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Bobcats

Ask the other Bobcats what they know; the consensus seems to be the new girl is a nobody…

loretta2

What? Seriously?!

They must know more than I do. Wow, talk about out of touch.

Quest completed

______________

Time for a Welcome!

loretta2

Um, what? You think we should say hello to her?

I’ve obviously got more important things to do than take care of some loser noob.

You’ve got a point though, Thomas would probably want us to show her round and look after a bit, which is why it would be perfect if you did it. Thomas said that she can borrow Julie’s horse FireWind, so take her out riding or something.

Oh yeah, Rita, you probably don’t wanna mention any of this to Julie. She’s got a lot on her plate right now and what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her. If I know her like I think I do, she won’t be too happy about some newbie getting to ride FireWind.

Umm, hellooo?! What are you waiting for? Go say hello to the loser noob now!

Objectives: Say hey to the new girl.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Bobcats

Go give a warm Moorland welcome to the new girl. You can find her standing near the stable.

mandy

Aaaaah!

I’m not even doing anything, I’m just standing here.

Quest completed

______________

Off to a Bad Start

mandy

Uh, by the way, why should I have anything to worried about? It’s you who’s doing all the sneaking around! Have you got nothing better to do than spy on me?! Not that there’d be any reason to spy on me. No reason at all.

Ugh, now look! Since you scared me so much I dropped my bag and all the stuff has fallen out.

Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh, it’s all your fault!

(Maybe you want to try helping the new girl pick up her stuff?)

Objectives: Help the new girl pick up her things, then try talking to her again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Bobcats

Pick up the things that have fallen out of her little pink bag, then speak to her when you have collected everything.

mandy

Thanks.

Umm… Sorry I snapped at you like that. My bad.

Quest completed

______________

Starting Over

mandy

Umm, I’m sorry I got so angry like that. I didn’t mean to, it’s just that you really made me jump! It was mean of me, sorry again.

Wanna start over?

My name’s Mandy, and you?

Rita? Is that even a real name?

…

I mean, umm, how lovely! Nice to meet you.

Have you been here in Moorland long? This is my first time here, so I suppose it remains to be seen if I’ll have more visits in the future. You’re the girl Mr Moorland said would show me around?

Oh! Well that’s nice of you, and I’d love to come out with you for a ride! I wasn’t able to bring my own horse with me this time, but Mr Moorland said I could borrow a horse called FireWind?

Oh, and another thing… I’m afraid I left my saddle and bridle at home. I’ve got like all this awesome gear, like best quality ever, but there was so much other stuff I needed to bring with me that I totally forgot my gear!

Could you help me find some that I could borrow just this one time?

Objectives: Find some gear for Mandy.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Bobcats

Pick up the saddle and bridle that are on the ground (who just leaves their gear thrown on the ground??) in the stable, and return to Mandy.

mandy

You’re sure I can borrow these? Nobody will mind?

Thanks!

Quest completed

______________

The Girl Who Couldn’t Saddle

mandy

It’s really nice of you all to lend me this bridle and saddle.

…

Ohhh, saddle the horse myself, you say?

Umm… Yeah, I mean like, I obviously know how to saddle a horse, it’s not that. I’ve been saddling horses before I learned to walk, but it’s just that your saddles here on Jorvik are a bit different to those I have back home…

What kind of saddles do we have at home? Umm… What does that even matter? Don’t you believe me or something? They’re just different, okay? Which side is up and which is down? How should I attach it? Like this?

Umm… The bridle… That goes on the head, right?

Oh! You wanna show me how to do it? Thanks! You don’t need to tell anyone else about this though, yeah? I don’t want anybody thinking I’ve never been on a horse before, that would be crazy! Haha! Ha… Heh…

So, show me how to saddle FireWind.

Objectives: Help Mandy to saddle up FireWind.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Bobcats

Dismount your horse and help tack up FireWind, then speak to Mandy.

mandy

Nice, thanks! Thanks for the demonstration, I’ll remember your tips and get it right next time.

Quest completed

______________

Can You Get Up Without a Ladder?

mandy

Umm… Rita?

What’s the deal with actually getting up onto FireWind? He’s huge! Like, I’ll need a ladder or something to get up onto his back… How do you get up onto Summerblaze?

Haha no! Don’t be silly! You can’t possibly think I’ve never ridden a horse before hahaha! I have my own horse, like I told you! Haha! Ha… Heh.

Umm… Yeah, like my horse is super easy to get onto. He usually just bows down and I just step onto him really easily, just like usual.

Why are you looking at me like that? It’s true! I promise!

Help me up onto FireWind instead of just standing there. Please?

Objectives: Help Mandy up onto the horse.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputations: 15 with Bobcats

Bitch, that’s what stirrups are for, or do your different saddles not have those either…?

mandy

Wow, high! Went well at least.

Thanks for the help. I could do it myself of course, but I just don’t feel myself today for some reason.

Quest completed

______________

Feels Like I’ll Fall Off!

mandy

Umm, one more thing.

There must be something up with this saddle. It feels like I’m not sitting on it right. Should it really be like this?

What? What do you mean I’ve never ridden before? Of course I have! Ha… Haha…

Oh, how nice of you to check and see if it needs adjusting! Thanks!

Objectives: Check that the saddle is sitting correctly and tweak it if necessary.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Bobcats

I’m seriously starting to doubt this girl’s equestrian skills.

mandy

Thanks! Now I feel like I’m sitting better.

Quest completed

______________

Moorland Tour

mandy

It’ll be really fun to see more of Moorland. Thanks for taking me with you on this tour!

Hey, you should lead the way Rita! I don’t know anything about the area…

Objectives: Take Mandy out for a ride.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Bobcats

Stay close to Mandy while on your ride. If you let her get too far away, she will get lost and you will have to restart the quest.

Speak to her when you have finished your tour of Moorland.

mandy

Oh, wow! Just… Wow! There’s nothing back home that’s like what you guys have here.

Quest completed

______________

A Friendly Race

mandy

It’s so lovely here!

I’m jealous now, this is way nicer than it is back home…

Hey, off topic, how are the Bobcats? Do you know them well? You’re a Bobcat, right?

Hey, since I’m gonna be moving here I guess it wouldn’t hurt to know when everyone’s birthdays are, how old they are, and how their families look, right?

Haha, that’s not weird! I’m just curious! Umm… Haha, well forget what I said. Shall we race back to the stable? Last one back has to do the other’s stable chores for a month!

Objectives: Challenge each other to see who can get back to the stable first.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP, 50 Horse XP

Reputation: 40 with Bobcats

Race Mandy back to the stable.

mandy

Yay me! Did you see how I rode on FireWind just then? I’m pretty awesome at riding, huh?

Well yeah, you’re also awesome but you get to ride every single day so it’s not fair to compare us two, is it?

Quest completed

______________

A Successful Tour

mandy

No way! Is it that late already?!

Thanks for the tour, but I need to get to Jorvik City, I’ve got tons to do there. I’ll catch up with you later though!

Umm… Obviously I know how to do everything with the saddle and bridle but now I’m really in a hurry, which means me not taking them off has got absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I don’t have a clue about how to take them off. No, no, no. Nope. No sir. Done it loads of times. Could do it in my sleep. Definitely. Haha. Ha. Heh…

For real? Nice! That’s really kind of you to offer to unsaddle FireWind for me.

I’ll take him to the stable while you go over and talk to that blonde girl, she seems to want you for something. Loretta’s her name, right?

Yeah, seeya later.

Objectives: Talk to Loretta.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Bobcats

Such a strange girl. Go and tell Loretta about her.

loretta2

Umm, helloooo?! I’m just standing here waiting for a report on this new girl and you’re running around the place with her like she’s your new BFF?!

Quest completed

______________

Take Care of FireWind and Tell Me About It!

loretta2

Helloooo? Details?! Come on, I wanna hear everything! What did she say? Is she a Bobcat or not?

Did she have a pair of Jollister shoes on?

Seriously? You think she’ll fit in here? She’s got one ugly style of riding, I’ll say that. That can be changed though, unlike a bad sense of style. If someone’s dressed like a nerd, then there’s no saving them.

What did she think of FireWind?

Of course she liked him! Have you guys unsaddled him by the way? You’re going to do it FOR her? Ooookay…

Well what are you doing standing here? Go and get him unsaddled.

Objectives: Unsaddle FireWind.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Bobcats

Find FireWind in the stable, dismount your horse, and use the stable gloves to unsaddle him. Then return to Loretta.

loretta2

Have you unsaddled FireWind? Great! Julie can take care of the grooming, it’s her horse after all. Now you need to tell me everything right now!

Quest completed

______________

Something’s Not Right…

loretta2

So I wanna hear everything. Tell me, what did you think of that girl? I think she’s totally weird.

I knew she wasn’t a proper rider!

You think we should give her a chance anyway? Pff, she’s a total liar, I can see it a mile off. Her shoes are probably not even real Jollister, they’re probably fakes.

Okay, okay. Just because it’s you, I’ll talk to the other girls and see whether we should give Where’s Weirdo a chance. Now, where’s my phone?

Sigh. Yo, Rita, could you just ride to the stable real quick and grab my green bag for e? Meh, yeah I knooooow! As if I would have a green bag, but my other one broke and I haven’t had time to get a new one.

Anyway, you’re the cutest if you go get it for me. I’m sure I left it just outside the stable.

Objectives: Find Loretta’s bag, which should be by the stable.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Bobcats

As you approach the stable, you see Mandy looking around suspiciously before she takes Loretta’s bag and runs away. Inspect the piece of paper that is left behind.

self

What’s Mandy doing with Loretta’s bag in the first place?

Quest completed

______________

Paper Trail

self

What’s this? A note?

Mandy must have dropped it when she ran off. It reads:

Loretta – maybe?
Tan – wrong birthday!
Julie – maybe?
Sophia – nope.

What could that mean?

Looks like Mandy dropped more notes as she hurried away. If you follow the trail of papers, maybe it’ll lead you to Mandy so you can confront her about this whole thing…

Objectives: Follow the paper trail left by Mandy.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 25 with Bobcats

Collect each piece of paper as you follow the trail until you find Mandy.

mandy

Why are you following me? What do you want? It’s not what it looks like!

Quest completed

______________

Hunting for the Truth

mandy

You read my note? Yeah, and?

Objectives: Confront Mandy.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Bobcats

Tell Mandy everything about why you are suspicious of her.

mandy

Okay, okay, I’ll tell you everything.

Quest completed

______________

A Tale of Two Sisters

mandy

I don’t know if you’ve got any siblings. I don’t have any, anyway. When I was little I hoped that I might get a little brother or sister, but I never got one…

Both of my parents are only children as well, which means I never had any cousins either. Imagine how fun the families parties were! It was pretty much just me there… Boring.

With all that said, everything changed just a few months ago…

I learned that I actually have a half-sister! You’ve got no idea how happy it made me to find that out! My happiness was totally indescribable! Neither of my parents wanted to talk so much about it though, so they were just pretending that nothing happened and I thought I should also drop it, but how can I?

That’s why I decided to find some answers on my own and find my half-sister.

The only thing I really got to know was that she rides here at Moorland Stables. Apart from that I only know when her birthday is, how old she’s supposed to be, and a little bit about her family. More than that, I’m totally in the dark about who she is, how she looks, or what she’s called. This is all why I’ve been trying to get as much info as I can about the girls here at the stable, so I can work out which one of them is my sister!

Objectives: Listen to Mandy.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Bobcats

It all makes sense now… Though I wish she hadn’t lied about her riding experience. That was pretty low, if you ask me.

mandy

I’ve already been able to lose a couple of names from my list, but there’s a few left that I’m not sure about.

Quest completed

______________

Begin the Detective Work

mandy

Now you know why I’ve been behaving so strangely. I’ve only been trying to work out which one of the girls in the stables is my half-sister.

You have to promise not to tell anyone! Promise me! I need to work out who it is first so that I can talk to her, I don’t want the whole stable finding out about it.

Really? You’ll help me? Thanks!

Hmm… This makes everything a little easier. Since the girls here in the stable know you, they might respond better if it’s you asking them the questions? With your help, I’ll find out who my half-sister is in no time at all!

The ones we need more information about are Loretta, Julie, and Stephanie.

Great! Take this notepad and jot down their answers when you talk to them!

Objectives: Talk to Loretta, Julie, and Stephanie to see which one of them could be Mandy’s sister.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Bobcats

Use the notepad on each of the girls to begin interviewing them. When you have enough information, return to Many by the inn at the stable.

mandy

Have you spoken to Loretta, Julie, and Stephanie?

Great! Did you find anything out?

Quest completed

______________

Moment of Truth

mandy

Thanks for helping me with all this Rita. Let’s see what we’ve found out. We’ll solve this puzzle together!

Objectives: Piece together all the information to find out who Mandy’s half-sister is.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Bobcats

Debrief to Mandy until you realize that all clues point to Julie.

mandy

Julie… Julie is my half-sister!

Quest completed

______________

Daring to Reveal the Truth

mandy

I just can’t believe it… I’ve finally found her! It just doesn’t feel real. I need to talk to her, I need to tell her.

But what on earth am I going to say? What if she doesn’t want a half-sister? What am I going to do then?

Thanks for offering to come with me when I talk to her, Rita, but this is something I need to do on my own.

Ohhhh, I’ve never been this nervous…

Objectives: Listen to Mandy.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Bobcats

Try to comfort Mandy as best you can.

mandy

I need to pluck up the courage first, but I promise I’ll talk to her.

Quest completed

Return to Mandy tomorrow.

Let’s see what those soil samples turned up!

Analysis Completed

judy

I got a message from the veterinarian saying that the test results of the soil and grape sprouts are ready. Please ride over to the village and fetch them? I don’t dare to think of what they will tell us… And how the Baroness will react to that. Oh well, let’s not be overly pessimistic. Off you go!

Objectives: Fetch the tests from the veterinary in Silverglade Village

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Ride to Silverglade Manor. The vet is just north of the Council Man.

vet

Hi there, are you the girl from the Manor? Good, I’ve got your test results. I’m afraid we’re looking at some badly contaminated grapevines here. I’m sorry to say it, but this does not look good at all. Wine from these grapes would probably taste like it had dish water in it. And the soil is poisoned by petroleum, as well.

Quest completed

______________

Return with the Results

vet

You had better let the others know this as soon as possible. Return to Judy right away. Be careful however; G.E.D. control these kinds of activities and probably know that these tests were done. Impossible, you say? Not to the G.E.D. Nothing is impossible when you have access to that kind of money. I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew our names and where we live as well.

Understand? Here are the test results. Watch out for the G.E.D. men on your way back to Judy!

Objectives: Ride with the test results carefully back to the Silverglade Equestrian Center. Don’t let the G.E.D. see you!

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP, Decent Shirt

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Manor

Take the test results back to the Manor.

judy

Hi! Did someone see you? From G.E.D. I mean? No? Good.

Quest completed

______________

Bring Me Some Oil

judy

Oh no, things were just as bad as I suspected. Oh no! How are we going to tell this to the Baroness? She will completely freak out! I guess we’ll have to deal with that later. Right now we should do some more research. Your next mission will be to ride over to the oil field, fill this can up with some of G.E.D.’s oil, and return here so that we can do a comparison to that and the oil found on our test samples.

The oil field is north from here, just before the race track. Please remember to watch out for the G.E.D. men, I couldn’t bear to lose you!

Objectives: Collect some oil from the oil field and bring it back to Judy. Don’t let the G.E.D. men see you.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Manor

Now this time you really can’t let them see you! This quest works similar to the one in which you turned off the GPS devices. The G.E.D. men are walking around the oil field, and as long as you don’t act while one is standing directly in front of you, you won’t be caught. If you are caught, you will have to start the task again.

judy

Ok, this should be enough. Great work Rita. You seem like a person that could handle just about anything!

Quest completed

______________

Comparing the Samples

judy

Ok, so we’ve got this very interesting machine here in the stable that Carney got from a scientist in Holland, or something. I don’t really remember the story behind it, but what’s interesting about it is that you can do some simple analyses on it. In our case, it will be on the oil.

What I need you to do is use the machine to compare the oil on the grape sprout with that from the oil field. Get it?

Objectives: Use the machine to compare the two oil samples.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

The machine is on the table next to Carney. Use it to test the samples and speak to Carney when you’re finished.

carney

This old thing still works like a charm! Let’s see… It looks like we have the same oil in both samples. Not very surprising, do you think?

Quest completed

______________

Oily News for the Old Lady

carney

Well, someone will have to tell the old grand lady what’s happening. You’d make a rather good messenger, don’t you think, Rita? Other things to do? Nonsense! Nothing can be more important than informing the Baroness of the destruction that G.E.D. is carrying out on her land.

Off you go! Ride over to the winery to tell her.

Objectives: Ride over to the winery and tell the baroness about the oil.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Now would be a good time to bring out that ‘Don’t shoot the messenger’ t-shirt you’ve never worn…

baroness

You again? What now, dear? I really don’t have time to chat… What? The G.E.D.’s oil has contaminated my soil and grapevines? That’s what you came here to say! What’s the news? Please don’t come here to inform me of matters one can figure out with one’s little toe.

Quest completed

______________

Ready for Mission

baroness

I… I… Never mind. Excuse that little tantrum of mine. You could actually be of help, Rita. I have a little… experiment that I would like to try. You see, from a trustworthy informant of mine that will remain anonymous, I heard that the G.E.D. may have acquired their equipment in an inappropriate manner. And this is the drilling equipment I’m talking about.

What you could do for me is going over to the field and searching their machines for serial numbers. Copy the numbers and bring them back to me. You should take someone with you; there’s a nice girl called Sonja that would make a good companion. Have you met her? You’ll find her out at the winery fields, inspecting grapes.

Objectives: Find Sonja at the Silverglade Equestrian winery fields and ask her to accompany you to the oil field.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Sonja can be found down in the lower terrace of the grape fields, on a white horse like Loretta’s

sonja

Yes, I’m Sonja, why? The baroness asked me to accompany you? Of course I’ll go! Inspecting grapes is very boring so I’d be happy to do anything else.

Quest completed

______________

Last One There Is An Oily Chicken!

sonja

Hey, why don’t we race to the oil field?

Objectives: Race with Sonja to the oil field.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Manor

Follow the checkpoints to the oil field. The race takes the path through the grape fields and up the hill next to the bridge.

sonja

Ok, we’re here. Are… are you sure about this? Those oil drilling guys are everywhere. We could get caught!

Quest completed

______________

A Serial Collector

sonja

Let’s do it like this: you go copy the serial numbers while I stay here keeping guard. Ok? That’ll work, right? Just keep away from those scary looking men and you’ll be fine. Probably.

Hey, here’s some paper and a pen.

Objectives: Hold the paper against 4 serial numbers and transfer them onto the notepad. Avoid being seen by the G.E.D.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Manor

You know the drill. Don’t get caught.

sonja

You got all of them? Oh my God, I’m so relieved. I’ve been near to peeing my pants over here!

Quest completed

______________

Racing Back to the Manor

sonja

We need to get back to the manor as fast as we can. Race me there!

Objectives: Race Sonja back to Silverglade Manor.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Manor

This time the course goes around to the manor and back to the stable through the Manor grounds.

sonja

Whew, you’re fast, girl!

Quest completed

______________

Delivering the Serials

sonja

So, this went well! We make a good team we two, don’t you think? Anyway, it’s time for me to go back to my stable chores. You should go visit the baroness with the serial numbers. See you around!

Objectives: Deliver the serial numbers to the baroness at the winery.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 135 XP

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Manor

Hurry back the Baroness is waiting for you!

baroness

Hello there, dear! Did you find Sonja? Good. And my serial numbers? Oh, I’m impressed! Very good work. Maybe I’ll use you for other missions in the future. You see, what you did now may come in handy in our long-drawn fight against G.E.D. Thank you very much, Rita. You did some honorable work today.

Quest completed

______________

Post the Letter with Serial Numbers

baroness

Just one more thing, dear. Take this letter with the serials and put it on the postbox that is located just at the entrance to the manor gate. This is addressed to my son Aaron that works in Jorvik City at the Jorvik Council. He will find out if there is anything fishy going on regarding these oil rigs. I have  feeling that Mr Kembell didn’t buy them in an honest deal.

Objectives: Post a letter. The post box is at Silverglade manor gate.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 140 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

If you haven’t used the mailbox before, it is the big red box outside of the manor gate, and also located in all of the villages around Jorvik.

self

“The letter with serial numbers is now in the post box and will soon be in the hands of the baroness’ son Aaron at the Jorvik Council.”

Quest completed

The next quest starts at the black horse, Khaan, standing in the Silverglade manor stables.

Whose Horse is That?

self

“That horse looks familiar; haven’t you seen it somewhere else lately? It looks very distinctive with that glistening black coat, and the way its eyes stare right through you… You get a chill down your spine.

Wait! That mysterious gleam… It’s the same mysterious gleam that struck you when that disguised ride came by Moorland and stole Thomas’ ownership deed! You need to ask someone who owns that horse.”

Objectives: Ask Tyra who owns that black horse.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Tyra is standing to the west of the stable.

tyra

What? Khaan? His owner is a girl called Sabine, she’s standing over there. She’s rather new here. I think she came about  week ago; I remember that Linda showed her around. That must have been Linda’s last day here, by the way. I wonder what happened to Linda… Haven’t seen her since…

Talking to Sabine

tyra

If she was out riding last night? At Moorland? I have no idea, ask her yourself. Doesn’t it seem a bit odd though, to be out riding in the middle of the night…?

Objectives: Ask Sabine if she was out riding at Moorland last night.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Sabine is up stalking around in front of the manor stables.

sabine

Um… What? I certainly haven’t been out riding in the middle of the night. Who are you, by the way, to come here with your stupid inquisitions? Excuse me? What are you implying here, exactly? That I was at Moorland? What would I be doing in that pathetic hellhole, when there’s a perfectly functional riding track here? You know what, you need to learn how to behave around other people, that’s for sure. You act like you’re five years old, for God’s sake. Please. Spare me that obnoxious baby talk.

Quest completed

______________

There’s a Riding Track Here?

sabine

And now you’re going to ask me about the riding track, too? Oh my God, you’re unbelievable. Just leave me alone, will you. If you feel a desperate need to bother someone, go to the stable girls. I’m sure they’re DYING to hear what you have to say.

Objectives: Ask Tyra about the Silverglade Manor riding track.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Manor

Someone has their crankypants on today. That or she’s hiding something…

tyra

The riding track? You didn’t know about that? It’s right over there, you can try it out!

Quest completed

I forgot to note the beginning dialogue for this next quest. It starts at Pauline, down the hill from Tyra, standing next to the stone wall.

Trying Out the Manor’s Riding Track

pauline

Objectives: Try out Silverglade Equestrian Center’s riding track.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Manor

The first of a new race for you. This race goes through the grape fields and then down and around the road near the manor.

pauline

Great track, right? I’m quite proud of it, actually. I mean… not that it’s mine or anything, but you know… being able to use it and all. I’ve been to some of the other tracks in the area and they just can’t compete with one. I don’t want to sound like a snob or anything, I’m just… thankful, or something. Ha ha, sometimes I just can’t shut up, can I? It’s great seeing you, anyway. See you around, Rita!

Quest completed

Sabine, now behind you, has had a change of heart.

Reversed Attitude

sabine

Well, that was… great! Hey, I thought about the talk we had before… We didn’t get a very good start, did we? I guess I was feeling a little insecure or whatever; I’m new here, you know. Would it be too much to ask if you could do me a small favor? Why don’t we start over, and get to know each other? Yeah? So what’s your name? Rita. Hi, Rita, I’m Sabine. Friends?

Objectives: Answer Sabine’s question.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 95 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Even if you don’t want to be friends, just tell her what she wants to hear.

sabine

Really? You will? Ha! Thank you so much! We will have so much fun together! Gosh, I’m so glad we worked that out. So what are you doing now? You don’t happen to know Justin Moorland, by chance? You do?! That’s fantastic!

Quest completed

______________

Sabine’s Request

sabine

Ok, so I’ve got this letter. For Justin, from a sort of… unknown relative. He needs to get it but as you know, I’m not at all familiar with the land outside the manor; I’m sure I couldn’t find my way back here if I got lost! You’re at home in Moorland, aren’t you? What, ride there together? Ha ha – I can’t be seen over there! Um… I mean, I can’t be seen there because of my… status. I have to keep to the… classier areas, you see? I’m sure you understand.

Please go to Moorland and give this letter to Justin!

Objectives: Give the letter to Justin at Moorland Stables.

Rewards: 110 Jorvik Shillings, 115 XP

Reputation: 35 with Moorland Stable

Well, what Sabine doesn’t know is that all you need to do to make a place a more classier is to play lounge jazz music. Ta da! Instant class!

Ride to Moorland whichever way you see fit, and deliver the letter.

justin_mooland

Hello there, long time no see! A letter for me? Seriously? From who?

So, you’re doing well at the Manor? That’s nice. Don’t feel any pressure returning here until they can manage without you – according to what I’ve heard they’re pretty desperate for help since that girl Linda disappeared.

So, I guess I’ll open this then…

A Message for Thomas

justin_mooland

Hey, wait… this is… What in the… I don’t know what to… You know what? I need to leave right away. This letter… If what it says is true, I…

Listen, I can’t stay. You need to tell my father that I’m going on a trip; will you do that for me? It’s… it’s my grandfather. This seems to be really important. Tell Thomas right away!

Objectives: Tell Thomas Moorland that Justin is going away to see his grandfather.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 35 with Moorland Stable

Thomas is out on a ride and can be found on the little rise next to the smithy, where the GPS equipment was set up earlier.

thomas_moorland

Wait, wait – what are you saying? His grandfather? This can’t be true. Please don’t let this happen! Justin absolutely can NOT see his… my… This is bad. This is really bad.

Quest completed

______________

The Fear of a Father

thomas_moorland

We need to stop Justin from leaving. There’s no time to lose!

Objectives: Hurry to the Moorland stable to stop Justin from leaving.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 35 with Moorland Stable

Ride with Thomas back to the stable.

thomas_moorland

This is not happening! He’s gone. My son is GONE! I’ll never forgive myself for letting this happen.

Quest completed

______________

Return to Sender

thomas_moorland

Sabine is the one who gave you the letter, you say? I don’t like that at all. Why of course I know who she is – and I know what I think and always thought of her – she’s a sneaky, insidious snake of a girl, that’s what she is. Been harassing my family for far too long now.

You were saying? Well… That’s an interesting point. You’re actually saying that you think Sabine was the cloaked rider who stole my ownership documents? I haven’t thought of that myself; always figured it was someone from the G.E.D. That makes sense, however; that girl sure has some sort of hidden agenda involving my family.

Listen, you should ride over to the manor and try to figure out more about this. We’ll need anything we can get on this girl.

Objectives: Head back to the manor and find out more about Sabin and the letter.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Ride back to the manor and speak with the Baroness.

baroness

Sabine? No, she left a while ago with her horse, equipment and everything. Seemed like she wasn’t going to be back. Funny, since she had just paid for a full month of stable rent.

Quest completed

______________

Who is Sabine?

baroness

You want to know more about Sabine? Frankly, I don’t know much about the girls running around in these stables. I know their names but that’s about how far my memory, or should I say interest – goes.

Hold on – Justin, you say? I’m sorry, what? He went to see my… his… Is this a joke, dear? Because if it is, it’s not funny.

Objectives: Ask the Baroness about Sabine.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Tell the Baroness that you, indeed, are not joking.

baroness

Well, excuse me, I… I think I need a hot bath. Immediately. GODFREY!

Quest completed

Looks like the Baroness doesn’t want to talk. In the meantime Judy needs some help over at the stable.

Horses on the Run

judy

The horses escaped the stable! They are out on the fields at front of the main building and eating… grapes! Just locate them, pat them and they will follow you back to the stable. Ride close to them, otherwise they will stop and try to escape again.

Objectives: Look around and locate the three horses. Just pat them, and they will follow you back to the stable if you stick close.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 300 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

The horses aren’t hard to find. Bring them back.

judy

You found them all and took them back to the stable? Well done, Rita!

Quest completed

I think the bath has helped the Baroness decide what she wants to say to you.

A New Girl at the Stable

baroness

Rita, wait. There’s a new girl here somewhere, she has also been asking me about this Sabine. Get in touch with her; you two will be best friends in a whiff, I’m sure of that.

Objectives: Go speak to the new girl at the Silverglade Equestrian Center, Alex.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Alex can be found mounted on a horse in front of the stable.

alex

Hi, nice to meet you, Rita! I’m Alex. Yes? I’m so glad you’re saying that. I’ve been trying to stop Sabine from doing harm to the people of Jorvik for some time now, and it’s hard. Actually, right now I’m trying to find a girl that used to work here but suddenly disappeared, Linda is her name. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sabine had something to do with it.

Quest completed

______________

Tracking Missing Girls

alex

What? You delivered a letter from Sabine to Justin? Uh-oh. That’s not good. And now they’re both gone…

Wait. Have you ever seen Sabine’s horse, Khaan? He looks really different from other horses; he almost has  faint glow around him. His hoof prints look special too… Like he touched the ground with his hooves burning. If we can find such hoof prints around here, maybe we will be able to track Sabine! Start looking around the stable.

Objectives: Find Khaan’s glowing hoof prints.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Most of the prints can be found behind the stable to the east side. When you’ve found the trail, return to Alex.

alex

Good work, Rita! Regarding of the direction of the tracks you think it seems as if Sabine had gone towards Moorland? You may be right… Probably to meet Justin somewhere. Don’t you think?

Quest completed

______________

Hooves on Fire

alex

Let’s follow the hoof prints together! They should be easier to see now when we both know what they look like. Let’s go!

Objectives: Follow Khaan’s hoof prints to locate Sabine.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 70 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

It’s not technically a race, so you can keep pace with Alex, or follow her, or run as fast as you can. It’s up to you!

quest-adios

alex

There they are! They’re leaving the island. Oh no! This can’t be happening. This is a catastrophe… What? No, it’s just… Those containers… Sabine is taking Justin to… You know, I’m sorry, but I really can’t say more right now.

Quest completed

______________

A Message of Doom

alex

Listen, you should go tell Thomas about this. He’s Justin’s father and needs to know. I’ll see you again at the manor, ok?

Objectives: Tell Thomas what his son is doing.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 55 with Moorland Stable

Go break the bad news to Thomas, as much as we all hate to be the harbingers of the unfortunate.

thomas_moorland

Rita, what’s the matter? You saw Justin? Well, did you stop him?! They left on a CONTAINER? Well that’s not a nice way to travel. Oh, God, please tell me this isn’t happening. My son has been taken away! My son has been seized by the dark side!

Quest completed

______________

Rendezvous at Silverglade Manor

thomas_moorland

Thank you for the information, Rita. From now on you should put all your energy on helping Alex in her search. We need to somehow get Justin back to Moorland. You’re meeting her at the manor now? Marvelous.

Objectives: Meet up with Alex at the Silverglade Manor.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to Alex at the stable.

alex

You told him? How did he take it? Poor Thomas.

Ok, so I spoke to the Baroness while you were in Moorland and got hold of a piece of highly interesting information. The Baroness told me that Justin is her GRANDSON. That means that Thomas Moorland is her son. Who Thomas’s father is? Good question. That I couldn’t get out of her. She went on about how that didn’t matter because he’s “long since dead”.

Quest completed

______________

Who’s Your Father?

alex

You’re right, Rita, that doesn’t make any sense. Justin claimed that he was going away to see his grandfather. As long as he isn’t going to a grave, somebody is lying, here.

Listen; there should be records of the Baroness’s past husbands at the town hall. It’s full of old registration books, right? Why don’t you ride over there and check for names?

Objectives: Head to the town hall in Silverglade Village and check the registration books for names.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Talk to the Council Man in Silverglade Village

council_man

Hello again, what can I do for you this time? Of course, the registration books are open to the public, what exactly are you looking for? Oh, the Silverglade family? Now that could be a bit problematic… You see, there was a mysterious fire in the archives some time ago in which the Silverglade family records were the only ones to be destroyed. It’s certainly peculiar – I agree with you, miss. Strange indeed.

Quest completed

______________

Searching the Abandoned Summer House

council_man

However, all hope may not be lost. An old mayor kept copies of all the records in his summer house. It’s abandoned now and has been for decades – probably infested by kids with graffiti cans, I don’t know. Anyhow it should be pretty badly run-down. You could of course go there and see what you can find – perhaps you’ll get lucky.

The house is located in Hollow Woods’ southwestern outskirts.

Objectives: Find the old summer house in Hollow Woods. Search it for copies of records on the Silverglade family line.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 110 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

The summer house can be found by taking the mill hill road north, and about halfway to Valedale another road connects to it. Take the connecting road and the summer house is at the top of the little hill.

Go inside what’s left of the house and search the piles of rubble and refuse for the book.

self

“Among the raffle you find an old registration book about the Silverglade family line. The book is falling apart and many pages are moldy, but you find what you were searching for: 1964 the Baroness married a Mr John Sandman, registered in Firgrove.”

Quest completed

______________

Bring Back the Book

self

“You better bring the book with you back to the manor so that Alex can see it.”

Objectives: Return to Alex with the old registration book.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP, Nice Sweater

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to the Manor with the book.

alex

Whoa, this is one really old book – it’s practically falling apart! John Sandman, you say? I wonder who that is.

Quest completed

Return to Alex tomorrow.

It seems in all the chaos Sonja was able to slip away from her boring stable chores. She can be found riding around in the Hollow Woods. She may take some chasing to get to talk to her.

Trash in the Woods

sonja

Hi, it’s me, Sonja. I am out riding but there is so much trash in the woods so I try to clear it up so our horses and animals don’t get hurt. You can’t believe how much stuff people throw in the woods, too bad. Help me collect some trash!

Objectives: There is trash to collect! Clear the woods and make it safe for all animals.

Rewards: 22 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the trash, as highlighted on your minimap.

sonja

Wow! You found a lot of trash! Great work. Now I think it’s safer to ride here and the animals in the wood won’t get hurt anymore.
