Back to Mrs Packard

Hey Rita! So awesome that you want to carry on helping me with the geocaching contest!

Would you be able to head back over to my Grandma, Mrs Packard? Ask her if she’s received any applications to my competition? I expect we should have received some applications by now, wouldn’t you think?

Objectives: Pick up the competition applications from Mrs Packard.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Ride up to Firgrove Village and speak to Mrs Packard by her house at the rear of the village.

Why hello to you Rita! How are you?

You want to pick up the applications for Andy’s competition?

Quest completed

______________

Gone With the Wind!

I’ve got some bad news about the applications, I’m afraid…

I’d just opened the mailbox to collect my letters when at that exact moment, a big gust of wind came from absolutely nowhere! I wasn’t at all prepared for it, and so all of Andy’s applications suddenly found themselves scattered around in the wind!

Oh, loveliest Rita, how sweet of you to ask whether any of my own mail was blown away… You’re ever so thoughtful.

Well, the mailman hadn’t actually delivered mine by that time; the only thing in the mailbox were the applications for Andy’s competition.

Would you be so kind as to help me find the applications that flurried away, dear Rita?

Oh, thanks ever so much dearie! How very kind of you to help me gather up all the missing applications. I should rather imagine they’re spread out all over the village by now. It would be ever so sweet of you to gather them up and bring them back to me.

Objectives: Collect all the competition applications that had flown off!

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Pick up the pieces of paper that are flying around in the wind around the village, then return to Mrs Packard when you have them all.

Thank you ever so much, you wonderful little jewel!

Quest completed

Andy’s Applications

Truly adorable of you to have gathered up all the applications that flew away, dearest little Rita. Are you going to take them to Andy now? I hope he won’t be too disheartened, there didn’t look to be that many responses, I’m afraid.

Rita love, will you take them over to Andy?

Objectives: Give the competition applications to Andy.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Return to Andy with the applications to the geocaching contest.

The applications have arrived? Amazing! Let’s see who’s applied…

Quest completed

______________

The Art of Collecting a Secret Prize…

Now, almost everything’s ready for my geocaching contest. The only thing missing is the prize to go in the treasure chest you helped me assemble.

Right now, the prize is with the Councilman in Firgrove. He let me store the prize with him since I was so busy with all the preparations here.

Would you be able to trot over to the Councilman in Firgrove and pick it up for me?

Thanks so much Rita! Promise you won’t take a sneaky peek at the prize! It should be a secret right up until the winner finds out what it is!

Objectives: Collect the prize for Andy’s contest from the Councilman in Firgrove.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Ride to Firgrove Village and speak to Mr Franklin, the Councilman.

Hey! You’re here to collect the prize for Andy’s contest, I presume?

Quest completed

______________

Resisting a Sneaky Peek

Andy asked if I could keep the prize for him here with me. It seems as though he has had ever such a lot to do with all the preparations for his competition. I’ve seen all the posters around the village, it really seems like a great initiative of his!

What the prize is or could be is something I have absolutely no idea about whatsoever, but I dare say the winner of the competition will find out soon enough! Haha!

Will you ride over to Andy with the parcel containing the prize? Fantastic Rita! It’s a little on the heavy side, but I’m sure you’ll be able to handle it.

Objectives: Take the parcel to Andy.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Return to Andy with the prize for the geocaching competition.

How did it go collecting the prize? Great! Thanks so much for all your help!!

Quest completed

______________

Welcome to the Competition!

Doesn’t seem like many people applied for my contest…

…Sigh.

Hmm… What should I do now…?

You know what, Rita? Maybe you’re right. Maybe it does take time to build up a reputation and get people interested in a competition like this.

But even if not as many people applied as I’d hoped, we have to run competition anyway! Especially with all the preparations we’ve done together.

Would you like to have a go?

For real? Great! You sure?

Haha, fantastic! You think it sounds fun? Nice! Lucky I never showed you the clues I hid!

I’ve hidden five clues, all spread out in locations around Firgrove. I’ll give you the first clue and then it’s your job to let it lead you to the second clue’s location… Carry on like that until you find the last clue, which is when you should ride back to me and tell me what you’ve found. The person who finds all the clues in the fastest time wins my amazing prize!

You ready then Rita? Here comes the first clue. Listen carefully now!

Iron, metal, gems and stone,
This place: a miner’s second home.
The second clue is what you’ll find
With mind over matter, but not over mined!

When you’ve worked out where I’m talking about, head over there and start looking. Then you’ll find clue number two! Good luck!

Objectives: Find the second clue.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

andy, express delivery, firgrove flyers, following instructions, has the delivery been delivered, mrs packard, posters in firgrove, the start of something new, tying up the clues

Visit Andy by the Firgrove Sandpit to see what he has planned.

The Start of Something New!

Hey there Rita! What fun that you called by! A few days ago, I was reading about this thing called geocaching; ever heard of it?

No?

No worries, I hadn’t either, but I thought it sounded really exciting so I’ve decided to organize a special geocaching contest here in Firgrove!

I can tell you more about it if you’re interested in helping out?

You are? Great! This is going to be so much fun! Haha!!

In order to get started, we’l have to write a few clues.

What am I going to do with the clues? Haha… You’ll see! First I need to find my pen, I’ve got no idea where I’ve put it.

Could you help me have a look for it?

Objectives: Help Andy find his pen.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Search the area for Andy’s pen. Bring it back to him when you find it.

That’s it! Thanks ever so much Rita! I’d never have found it without you!

Now, what were we talking about? Ah, of course, I was going to tell you more about geocaching!

Geocaching is a little bit like orienteering, except instead of looking for coordinates on a map, you’re looking for so-called ‘treasure.’ The treasure should always be found at the end of the trail, and the treasure could be absolutely anything under the sun!

In certain variants of geocaching, you have to look for clues to be able to find the cache of treasure.

I’m going to be doing it in my own style… Maybe we could call it AndyCaching or perhaps even GeoAndy? Haha!

If you wait just a little while Rita, I’ll just write down a few clues and then I’ll tell you a little bit more about what you’ll be able to help with.

Quest completed

______________

Typing Up the Clues

So there we go! The clues are written, and they’re pretty great, if you ask me, hehe… I wonder how long it’ll take before someone’s able to work out exactly where the first clue leads to?

Unfortunately, I’m not able to tell you what I’ve written or where it leads to, Rita… It’s a secret!

That said, it’d be great if you could help me by rolling up these clues and tying them all up with this ribbon. Make it into a nice bow if you’re able to!

Oh, and Rita… Promise you won’t take a sneaky peek at the clues when you’re rolling them up. Not that I think you’d do that, but it’s really important that the clues stay secret for everyone, at least until the contest gets under way.

Here’s some ribbon. Roll up the papers and then tie them up into a bow with this ribbon, then it’ll all be perfect!

Objectives: Tie up the clues using the ribbon Andy gave you.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Dismount your horse and use the ribbon from your inventory to tie up the clues. Speak to Andy when you are finished.

Nice work on the clues! Good ribbon work, haha! They look really exciting! I bet you’re wondering what’s written on them, hehe!

Quest completed

______________

Has the Delivery Been Delivered?

How lovely of you to ask if there’s anything you can help out with Rita, honestly, it’s really nice of you.

Since it’ll be me organizing the whole event, it wouldn’t be fair for me to take part, so I’ve ordered both posters and leaflets to be handed out in Firgrove. I think this could be something really big! Maybe something we’ll be famous for! Think about it… Rita and Andy’s Geocaching! Sounds awesome!

I’ve got tons to do; would you mind riding over to see my grandma, Mrs Packard? Ask her if the leaflets and posters I’ve ordered have been delivered yet…

Objectives: Ride to Firgrove Village and talk to Mrs Packard.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Speak to Mrs Packard outside her house in the back of the village.

Oh, my dear sweet little Rita, you’re a busy bee as usual, I can see!

Aha! You’ve spoken to Andy and he’s asked you to come up and see me. Of course, yes, his delivery has been delivered! There are some lovely posters and leaflets that need to be put up and handed out.

Andy already spoke to the Councilman and got his permission to hand out the leaflets and put up the posters, so everything’s not that far away from being done and dusted!

Quest completed

______________

Posters in Firgrove

Andy’s really put his heart and soul into this project, wouldn’t you say, Rita dear?

And have you seen the lovely posters he’s ordered? They’re quite something. Perhaps you’ll be able to put them up around the village? I think he’ll be ever so grateful for all your help, sweetest Rita. What luck we all have that you’re such a lovely friend!

Put up the posters in and around the village so everyone can see them. It’s really very lovely of you to help out!

Objectives: Put up the posters all around Firgrove Village.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Put up the posters on the walls of the log cabins in the center of the village, then return to Mrs Packard.

Oh, a thousand thanks for all your help, dearest Rita! I’m certain Andy will really appreciate it!

Quest completed

______________

Firgrove Flyers

Here are the flyers And has delivered, aren’t they snazzy?!

They need to be posted into all the letterboxes around the village. It’s so lovely of you to help Andy with his project, sweetest Rita!

You only need to post one flyer in each of the letterboxes in the village, then people should hopefully apply to take part in the competition!

Objectives: Mail flyers through all the letterboxes around Firgrove Village.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Place one flyer in each mailbox around the village, then return to Mrs Packard when all the flyers are handed out.

Are all the flyers out now? My stars, you’re a fast one, girlie!

Quest completed

______________

Express Delivery!

Well, well! The flyers are handed out and the posters are up, and it’s all because of you, dear sweet Rita!

Oh my goodness gracious, I very nearly forgot! A huge parcel has arrived for Andy in today’s mail. I’m sure it has something to do with his competition. I wonder if you’d be even more precious and take it over to him?

Objectives: Deliver the parcel to Andy.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Return to Andy by the sandpit.

A parcel for me?

Oh well of course, haha! Never thought it’d be here this early, but yeah! It’s great that it arrived!

Now you’re gonna get to see something cool, Rita…

Quest completed

______________

Following Instructions

I bought a treasure chest online! How amazing is that?!

I figured it’d be pretty cool to have the competition-winner’s prize in the treasure chest! If I read the instructions out, would you be able to put it together?

Nice! Right then, step one says: take the bottom part and lat it flat on the ground.

Then it says you take the lid and place it on the bottom section.

Lastly, it says you have to screw in the screws so that the lid is firmly attached to the bottom part.

Then when these three steps have been successfully completed, you will be the proud owner of a ready-to-use treasure chest!

Doesn’t sound that bad, eh Rita?

Objectives: Help Andy put the treasure chest together.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Firgrove

Dismount your horse to assemble the treasure chest.

First,, place the two pieces, then use the screwdriver on them. Speak to Andy when you are finished.

Great! Thanks so much Rita! It’s lovely, you really were great at putting it all together!

Now I’m off to hid the clues I wrote earlier, so it’s probably best that you call back tomorrow if you’d still like to carry on with helping out! While I’m out fixing up the clues, there’s not much else to do.

Quest completed

Return to Andy tomorrow.

You are not going to regret helping us out, I can promise you that. Ask the Fool for the things so we can get started. He will tell you what you need to do so we can get started. If he is really ready to go…

Objectives: Speak with the Fool.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Go and speak with the Jester about what needs to be done next.

I’ve worked all night to get these poles ready. “Everything must be perfect,” says the great Ydris. Now they are perfect and ready to go.

Quest completed

______________

Put Up the Support Poles

Let’s get started! The three central, load-bearing poles need to be put up. They have to be solid as the whole circus tent will be hanging on them. Even the smallest problem could make the whole circus tent collapse… And that would be bad… I’ve heard about that happening. Here, take the masts and place them out on the field where they should go.

Objectives: Place the three tent poles on the field beside Ydris’s wagon.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Take the three poles and set them up in the indicated areas. Speak with Ydris when you are done.

That is looking good, even if those are actually masts… Are they stable? Let’s hope they are. Now we can go on to the next step.

Quest completed

______________

The Outer Poles

Aha. Take these five outer poles and place them in a ring around the three center poles. Watch that they don’t give you splinters!

Objectives: Place the five poles in place in a circle around the large center poles.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Set up the poles, then speak with Ydris.

This is continuing to look promising. Let’s keep steaming! Not bad for a mere mortal.

Quest competed

______________

Tent Pegs

Yes, now we have the five pegs to stake out in a ring around the ones you already put out. These are used to anchor and tighten the ropes. They need to be very secure so be sure to knock them in hard!

I’ll begin to attach the ropes…

Objectives: Place out the five pegs that will be used to anchor the ropes.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Put out the pegs in the indicated areas, then speak with Ydris.

You can almost imagine the circus now? Right? I hope they Fool attaches the ropes properly when you are gone… It doesn’t look promising.

Quest completed

______________

Flag on the Top!

While the Fool carries on wrestling with the ropes, maybe you can put up the three flags? Here, take the flags that you picked up from the tailor earlier and run the up the three large poles.

Objectives: Raise the flag on the three masts. They need to go all the way to the top!

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Approach each pole and click the arrow button on the screen to raise the flag. When you are done with all three flags, speak with Ydris.

Lovely. Stately. Magnificent! But… What is the Fool doing over there?!

Quest completed

______________

This is Embarrassing

Huh? Mamma mia! The Fool is stuck in the rope. This is embarrassing. I hope nobody sees this. He can’t seem to manage even my simplest requests. Sometimes I wonder if he does things like this only for the amusement of others.

Objectives: Untangle the Fool.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Well, he is a fool…

Untangle the Fool from the ropes, then speak with Ydris.

Well. I don’t think anyone saw us. Now we’ll just try and forget it ever happened. That goes for you too, Fool. We are never going to speak about this again. No, you can’t make a fool of yourself even if you are a fool.

Quest completed

Return to Ydris tomorrow.

Let’s go see the tourists in Fort Pinta. They are having a crisis.

Gretchen is Missing

Guten tag, Rita. You have to help us! Gretchen is missing.

We do not know where she is. She was going to visit her friend Andy up by the sand pit in Firgrove. She was supposed to come home last night but she has not shown up… And hasn’t called either. You have to find her Rita. Speak with Andy, he must know where she is!

Is Gretchen missing? She promised me she would go straight home. I hope nothing has happened to her… She said she was going to take the road past the old mine near here on her way home. She was eating a bunch of caramels and was dropping the wrappers as she went… So you can probably just look for the wrappers to follow where she went.

Hope you find her Rita. Good luck!

Quest completed

______________

Ollie-Bear Doesn’t Want to Follow Us

Yes, I know. I was on my way to Fort Pinta but I found some really exciting stones by the mine and I just had to check it out and then I was on my way down from the mine and there was a bulldozer and I really, really had to check that out and then I saw some cool tracks and followed them up and found Ollie-Bear. So then I went home with him and slept over and it was SOO nice. But he is still sleeping but now I should go home. Ride back and tell my parents I’m on my way soon. I’ll go straight home… I promise!

Objectives: Ride over to Andy and ask if he would like to come to tea at Mrs Packard’s.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

There was a typo in the original quest text. The objective tells you to ‘ride over Andy,’ like we’re going to trample him with our horse until he comes to tea…

Anyway, ride down to the sand pits and give Andy your invitation.

Oh! Grandma’s pancake cake is about the best thing I know. I’m full up right now… but ask her to save a piece for me for later please!

Quest completed

Ride back up to Mrs Packard with Andy’s reply.

Of course I’ll help.

Thank you! We need a water lily leaf and a thorn from a thorn bush.

Quest completed

______________

To Find Special Plants

You can find water lilies on the other side of the bridge here in Valedale, over by the reeds. It’s said that the water lilies from Valedale have a special sort of power, like Aideen’s flowers. The last thing we need is a thorn from the thorn bushes towards the Observatory. The thorns are very poisonous if they’re not properly prepared, but if you do it right, they can be used for anything. I need them right away!

Objectives: Find a water lily leaf by the reeds in Valedale and a thorn from a thorn bush on the road to the Observatory.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

The water lily leaf can be found across the bridge. Go along the road next to the water, towards the waterfall. The leaf is in the reeds.

The thorn bush can be found on the main trail to the Observatory. They start on the side of the road once you are out of the woods and start heading up into the mountains.

When you have both items, return to Elizabeth.

Thank you! I can finish the brew now.

The Horse’s Condition

The vet was here to examine Summerbreeze. It seems to be quite serious, but she didn’t tell me exactly how bad it is.

Objectives: Listen to what Felicity has to say.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

Keeping conditions secret is not always something you want in a health care professional. You should drop her like a bad habit, Felicity…

However, she told me about the cure that you and Elizabeth are preparing so I still feel hopeful. You have no idea how much your help means to me, Rita. I will continue hand feeding Summerbreeze until tomorrow.

Quest completed

Return to Elizabeth tomorrow.

Let’s go see what Harold in Silverglade needs help with.

Nobody Likes Melted Icecream

Yawn… Do you know what the secret to ice cream is? Besides using extra fresh milk from Valedale cows you need to whip the milk all night. Yes, it is true, so you can imagine how tired I must be!

But enough about me. I know that not many can beat you and Summerblaze when it comes to speed, so what do you say to helping me deliver some ice cream to Firgrove?

Objectives: Ride the fastest you can with the ice cream to Firgrove.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

This part is run as a race. You cannot use the transport van, and you must make it to Mrs Packard before time runs out. Though, you are given ten minutes, which is more than ample time to get there. You could probably walk there and still have time to spare…

The clock stops when you reach Mrs Packard at her house in Firgrove.

Hey! Look who it is! What a nice surprise! And with the ice cream I ordered.

Quest completed

______________

Have You Tasted the Eggs?

But hey, Rita, you haven’t stopped by to collect your share of the eggs we have since you helped us build the henhouse. Can we get you to stick around for some pancake cake?

Objectives: Would you like to stay for pancake cake at Mrs Packards?

Sure, I’ll sticky stick round around for some pancake cake.

Great news! You won’t be disappointed!

Oops. We are out of eggs. Maybe you and Summerblaze can ride over to the henhouse and collect soe fresh eggs? Speak with Andy after for some egg cartons to pack the eggs in.

Objectives: Ride over to the henhouse by Firgrove’s sand pits and pick up some fresh eggs. After you have some eggs speak with Andy.

______________

Packed and Ready

There we go! The eggs are packed and ready. You are going to my grandmother’s? If she isn’t in the garden, she is in the kitchen. Just go right in. Give her a hug from me.

Wow you are fast! I barely noticed you were gone. Welcome back! I found the time to pick out a special surprise for you. I though you might want to help out with the pancake batter and with this Cook’s Jacket it will be extra fun!

Quest completed

______________

Bake, Bake, Bake the Cake

Will you help me with the pancake batter? I can teach you how, just do what I tell you and it will be fine. The only tricky part is that it needs to be done quickly. Timing is important when making pancakes for my famous pancake cake. Is the master chef ready?

Objectives: Follow Mrs Packard’s instructions on how to make the batter.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with Firgrove

The cooking follows a predictable pattern. Once you complete this quest, you can make pancakes as a daily quest.

It’s easiest if you pick up the salt shaker and the whisk off the counter, and have your inventory open before she gives the first instruction.

They are: Butter, eggs, milk, whisk, flour, salt, whisk.

What perfect batter Rita! Now the pressure is me to fry them, hoho!

Let’s check if your wolf-repelling measures have worked for the chickens.

Can I Hear Clucking from the Chicken Coop?

Hi, Rita! Do you want some eggs? We have plenty! Can you collect some eggs to take some over to Grandma? You just have to put your hands inside the chicken wire, the eggs are in the hay. One dozen should be enough. Can you ride with a basket of eggs to Firgrove Village? I promise my grandma will be overjoyed! Good luck and be sure to ride carefully! The eggs will break if you aren’t careful riding!

Objectives: Pick up some eggs from the chicken coop and ride to Mrs Packard in Firgrove Village.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Ride to the chicken coop, and click on it to pick up the eggs. The eggs will then be in a basket behind your saddle. If you ride at any speed above a walk, the ‘Danger!’ meter will fill up. Once it fills up completely, the eggs will break. You can prevent this by slowing to a walk or stopping completely to let the meter drain when it gets too high, before riding more.

Take the eggs to Mrs Packard’s house in Firgrove.

The eggs are so fine! It is great to hear that the chickens are doing well again! Both of us are so grateful for your help dear Rita. You will of course get something for your effort. But I have one last thing I want to ask you about.

Quest competed

______________

Egg Delivery

My good friend Harold in Silverglade Village bakes amazing pastries and he needs fine eggs. It’s so much fun to be able to give him fresh eggs. I have packed the eggs so you can ride fast without breaking them. Can you help me? I will see to it that your reward will be at Harold’s when you get there.

Objectives: Deliver the eggs to Harold in Silverglade Village.

Good thing you’re here, I’ve been reading my old notes.

Quest completed

______________

An Unusual Disease

As I said, I’ve been reading my old notes and books and I found some cases which remind me of this. It can be anything from an unusual fever to something much worse. But we shouldn’t worry Felicity. Or what do you think?

Objectives: Listen to what the vet has to say.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The vet will explain what needs to be done to ease Summerbreeze’s ills.

Anyhow, I had a similar case a couple of years ago. I never found out what it was, so I’m not sure now either. But I have an idea about what we can do.

Quest completed

A Special Cure for Horses

There is a special cure, a brew you can give to horses with unusual symptoms. I can’t guarantee that it will work, but it’s work a try. Do you want to help me?

Quest completed

______________

Delivery to Elizabeth

I spoke to Elizabeth in Valedale. She’s really good at mixing brews. We agreed that you can help us get a special apple. When you find it, you can give it to her. You may have visited the Applegrove opposite the Thornrocks? It’s said that during each season, there’s one apple that shines like gold. Ride along and look for that apple. Hurry, time is short!

Objectives: Find the special apple in the Applegrove opposite the Thornrocks and give it to Elizabeth in Valedale.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with Keepers of Aideen

The clue ‘opposite the Thornrocks’ means ‘across the river from the Thornrocks.’

Applegrove is along the Fire Trail. Once you cross the bride, as if you were going to Firgrove, instead of going up the hill, take the first trail off to the right. It is a road, but it is not marked on the map. Follow the road for a little bit, and off to the right-hand side you will see trees with apples on them. To get the golden apple, you will have to leave the road a bit and go down into the trees.

Once you find the golden apple, take it to Elizabeth in Valedale.

Hi Rita! Oh, you found the apple! The vet told me you were coming. I’ll use the apple as the base for the cure. Tomorrow, I’ll need more help from you, because I need two more ingredients. Now, however, I have to start the brew. It’ll take a while. Felicity says she’s extremely grateful for your help in this difficult time.

Quest completed

Return to Elizabeth tomorrow.

Speak with Claire at the Valedale stables. She has news of a friend in need.

An Assignment for a Cow Friend

Hey Rita! This is how it is… Sophie needs help to milk the cows up here. She got such a pain in her back that she had to stop before all the cows had been milked. I’m really busy today so I thought that since you already know our cows you might be able to help? Sophie is over there with all the equipment, the poor thing! Go over there and give her a hand, I’ll be sure to give you something for your trouble.

Objectives: Go to Sophie and offer to help her with the cows.

Obviously someone needs a lesson in proper lifting technique. Remember, bend your knees and lift with your legs. Your back will thank you.

Sophie is just up the road from Valedale. Go and offer your help.

A riding hero! I can’t show you how right now but I can try to explain [how milking is done].

Quest completed

______________

A New Experience

There is only one cow left to be milked, I finished with all the others before my back forced me to quit. I must have pulled a muscle or something… Anyways, very annoying, but you are worth your weight in gold for helping me…

Here, take the bucket, that is all you will need. You can do it!

Objectives: Take the bucket and milk the cow that hasn’t been milked yet.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Pick up the bucket next to Sophie. The cow that needs to be milked is the one standing behind her. You have to be dismounted to be able to milk the cow. When you are done, bring the milk to Sophie.

A full bucket of milk! I am impressed. Was it heavy to carry?

Quest completed

______________

Step Two

So, after we have milked the cows we put the milk in smaller containers. It is a little impractical to have the milk in a bucket! Would you mind riding down to Elizabeth and ask if she has any more empty bottles?

Objectives: Ask Elizabeth if she has any empty milk bottles.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Valedale

Go speak to Elizabeth outside of her house in Valedale.

So nice to see you! Milk bottles? Sure, I just cleaned out a few of them I got back earlier today. We always reuse the same bottles. When they are empty we drop them off again. Good for the environment!

Take the bottles back up the road from Valedale, to where Sophie is.

Perfect! Those should be enough for the milk in the bucket.

Quest completed

______________

We Should Have Brought a Funnel…

I feel like an old lady right now… but my back hurts really bad. I can barely move! Please do me one more favor and pour the milk from the bucket into the bottles?

Objectives: Pick up the bucket and pour the milk into the bottles.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Both items are on the bench behind Sophie.

You have to be dismounted to do this task. Pick up the bucket first, then place it over the bottles to fill them.

advice from the vet, andy, are the chickens laying eggs, bones and leftovers, feed summerbreeze, felicity, felicity needs help, mrs packard, no one is afraid for the wolf, return to the stable, torches and fire outside the chicken coop, vet, what should we do

Let’s go see how the chickens are doing in their new home.

Are the Chickens Laying Eggs?

I think something is wrong with the chickens, Rita… They are scared to go out of their new house! Yesterday evening they were seemingly happy and were out enjoying themselves. But this morning they haven’t been outside the house at all. Something must have happened during the night. Can you see if you can find any clues?

Objectives: Look for clues around the chicken coop.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Ride over the chicken coop and see if you can find any clues as to what is scaring the chickens.

Return to Andy when you have found something.

Oh no, a piece of fur! Could it be from a wolf? Yes… It is. This is not good. And you found tracks? Where do they go? Into the forest? Well, we can be sure the wolf has been here.

Quest completed

______________

No One is Afraid for the Wolf

I have a plan, Rita. We have to lure the wolf away from the chickens. I think it can work if we put out some wolf food in the forest. The wolves will have something to eat and won’t need to come here. My grandma has cooked a steak, I think she might have some bones and leftovers from the dinner. Ride and ask her if she can give you some.

Objectives: Ride to Mrs Packard and ask if she has some leftovers from the dinner she cooked.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Mrs Packard is standing outside her house in Firgrove. See what she says about helping you with your wolf problem.

Rita, my dear friend! What are you saying? Those darn wolves, they always cause trouble. They need to eat, but not our fine animals!

Quest completed

______________

Bones and Leftovers

Actually I have some bones from the steak I cooked. You can take them and ride far away into the forest and put them there. I hope the wolf won’t frighten our chickens any more. If we put the bones far enough away the wolves might not come back.

Objectives: Ride and put out the leftovers away from the chicken coop.

Ride to the orange spots marked on your map, south of the Silverglade Mine. Place out the leftovers in three different spots.

Return to Andy when you are finished.

Did she have leftovers? Cool! Now we have to hope it will work. But to be on the safe side we need to have some lights around the chicken coop.

Quest completed

______________

Torches and Fire Outside the Chicken Coop

I think it will work well if we had some torches outside the chicken coop. That way I can keep an eye on the chicken coop when I watch over my sheep. I put up some torches while you were away. Here are some matches, ride over and light the torches and we can hope that the chickens actually come out.

Objectives: Light the torches around the chicken coop.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

There are two torches mounted on the sheep fence, near the chicken coop. Light both of them and return to Andy when you are done.

This should do it. It has been a long day, I think that both of us and the chickens might need some rest now.

Quest completed

Return to Andy tomorrow

Felicity is having a crisis at the stable. Go see her in Firgrove, maybe you can help.

Felicity Needs Help!

I don’t know what to do! One of my horses, Summerbreeze, hasn’t eaten or had anything to drink since yesterday. And for a couple of days he’s been acting real strange. I don’t recognize him. He’s even been aggressive and usually he’s the nicest and calmest horse in the world. I’m getting very worried. Can you help me, please?

Objectives: Will you help Felicity?

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

Of course you’ll help.

Thanks so much!

Quest completed

______________

What Should We Do?

This doesn’t sound like a normal illness. Maybe we should talk to the vet in Silverglade Village? Can you ride to her and tell her about Summerbreeze’s condition?

Objectives: Ride to the vet in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Firgrove

The Vet should know what the matter is, or at least, let’s hope she does.

Oh, this doesn’t sound good.

Quest completed

______________

Advice From the Vet

I need to think about this for a while. It sounds a bit familiar… In any case, the most important thing now is to make the horse eat and drink. I have an idea, will you help me?

Objectives: Listen to what the vet has to say.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

I’m all ears, doctor!

Sick animals don’t want to eat, but if you feed them by hand they sometimes will. Do you want to try? Meanwhile, I’ll read some books and old notes. You can ride back to Felicity and tell her that I’m looking into it.

Quest completed

Ride back to Firgrove and speak with Felicity.

Return to the Stable

So did you talk to the vet? What did she say?

Objectives: Tell Felicity what the vet said.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 20 with Firgrove

Pass the Vet’s message to Felicity. It’s urgent.

Oh, I hope it’s not too serious. But nutrition is most important now so hand feeding sounds like a good idea. Let’s try.

Quest completed

Feed Summerbreeze

Take this and feed Summerbreeze. He’s on the left side of the stable.

Objectives: Feed Felicity’s sick horse, Summerbreeze.

Felicity has finished fixing the chicken wire for you. Go see her in Firgrove.

Felicity’s Chicken Net

Hello Rita! Now the chicken wire is ready! You can ride down to the chicken coop and see if it fits!

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards on this one, sorry!

Ride down to the chicken coop and put the wire on it. You have to be dismounted to use the chicken wire.

Speak with Andy when you are finished.

Well done, Rita. The chicken coop is really nice. Now we only need some chickens…

Quest completed

______________

Catch Some Chickens

I have an idea. I know there are chickens in this forest, wild chickens. They are very shy so it won’t be easy to get them here. I have prepared a bag with chicken feed. If you sprinkle some in front of the forest, maybe they will come out to us eventually.

Objectives: Ride out in the forest and spread out the chicken feed.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

The spots for you to put the chicken feed are marked in orange on your map. There are three areas to put it down.

Return to Andy when you are finished.

Did you put out three small piles? That sounds good. I’m so excited to see if the chickens will come.

Quest completed

______________

Hay While Waiting for the Chickens

I guess we have to wait for a while before the chickens dare to come out. We can make it more cozy in the chicken coop while we wait! I think the chickens would like some fresh hay to sleep on. Can you ride to Felicity and ask her for some hay from the stable?

Objectives: Ride to Felicity in Firgrove and ask if you may have some hay.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation 15 with Firgrove

Hey, you want some hay? Well, of course you may.

Go back to Felicity and ask her to lend you some hay.

I’m glad to hear that the net fit! Now you want some hay for the chicken coop. Of course I can fix that for you!

Quest completed

______________

Make the Chicken Coop Cozy More Cozy With Hay

You can take some hay from the bale over there. Ride down to your chicken coop and lay it on the floor so it’s fresh and smells good when the chickens come. Good luck!

Objectives: Take some hay, put it in the chicken coop and talk to Andy.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Go back to the chicken coop and put the hay inside the wire.

Speak with Andy when you are done.

The hay smells so good! I wonder if the chickens have come out yet?

Quest completed

______________

Catch Chickens

I thought I saw something white among the trees where you sprinkled the chicken feed. Maybe it’s some chickens! I think you will have to dismount from your horse when you pick them up so you don’t frighten them away. Do you remember where you sprinkled the food? After you catch the chickens you can let them out in the chicken coop.

Objectives: Catch all chickens where you sprinkled the chicken feed and let them out into the chicken coop. Talk to Andy when you’re done.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

For some reason, picking up a chicken, then putting it into the chicken coop, each count as an action. There are three chickens to pick up, then putting the three chickens in the coop, that’s six actions.

Speak to Andy when you are done.

Such gorgeous chickens! Grandma will be really happy now! I think the chickens will enjoy having a house of their own. It will be much nicer than in the forest with all those predators.

Quest completed

Return to Andy tomorrow.

Will has started a new race up around his windmill.

Try the Windmill Race

Hello Rita! You know what? I have a sneaking suspicion that you love to compete with Summerblaze. Am I right? I knew it!

A long time ago there used to be a race trail around the windmill here. The track is still there even if it is hard to see. Do you think you can do as well as the old masters did on this track? You think you can? You certainly are confident, that’s a good thing. But this is a tough track so don’t think for a second this will be an easy victory for you.

Get ready to go and I will get your time!

Good luck!

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards on this one, sorry!

Ride the windmill track through, and speak with Will when you are done.

Wow. That was a great ride Rita. It certainly is a joy to watch a master rider like you flow through the track.

If you want to try again just let me know. See you!

Quest completed

You can now do this race daily.

Now let’s get to the story! Go see Linda at the Winery. Alex has returned.

Alex Returns

Hi there! Great news! As you can see, Alex is back!

Objectives: Talk to Alex.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 90 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Alex will be happy to see you again.

Nice to see you again, my friends. It’s been a long journey and unfortunately, it was pretty unsuccessful.

Quest completed

______________

Alex Says

Both Lisa and Anne have been traveling the world. Lisa toured with her rock band and have done great concerts all over the world. But people say that some time ago, when the tour was over, she returned to the Jorvik stables, picked up Starshine and rode away… Since then, no one has seen her. But we believe that she is somewhere here on Jorvik.

Objectives: Listen to Alex.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Alex will tell you more.

Anne was a successful dressage competitor. Suddenly one day she disappeared during a competition in France. There’s not a single clue of where she went. She’s disappeared without a trace. This was almost two years ago and not a peep has been heard from her.

The next step will probably be to try and find Lisa. She’s probably the only one we have chance of finding. When we know more about where Justin could be, we’ll search for him too…

Quest completed

______________

Call for a Council

The Druids, Keepers of Aideen, have called a council meeting. They’ve announced that they want you to attend, Rita. However, I don’t know how you can get there, because it’s a very special place. Linda and I will get there our own way but you need to talk to Elizabeth in Valedale. Shecan transfer outsiders to the Secret Stonering where the meeting will take place.

Objectives: Ride to Valedale and talk to Elizabeth.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 35 with Keepers of Aideen

Elizabeth will be able to help you. Go see her at her house in Valedale.

It’s great that you could come. I’ll teach you how to go to the druid’s meeting without having the special attributes as a druid or Soulrider has.

Quest completed

______________

Council in the Secret Stonering

The path behind my house leads to the four rune stones. Continue past them. There, you’ll find a spiral path surrounded by other rune marked stones. Be sure to ride in a clockwise spiral along the path until the Portal opens in the middle. Ride into the portal and you’ll travel to the Secret Stonering and meet the druid Council there.

Listen to the Council, ask your questions and talk to me back here again when the meeting is finished. Keep it a secret how to travel there, please.

Objectives: Participate in the council. Travel there by following the spiral path. It’s beyond the runestones, behind and above Elizabeth’s house. Talk to Elizabeth afterwards.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 140 XP

Reputation: 300 with Keepers of Aideen

Follow Elizabeth’s instructions.

You must stay on the path, all the way to the center of the spiral. When you reach the center you will be automatically transported to the Secret Stonering. Once there, approach the Council to begin the meeting. You must ask all of the questions given to you before you are able to leave.

______________

We are the Keepers of Aideen. We greet you, newcomer. I am Fripp.

***

Druids and Soulriders, we are gathered here today for an extra council. Especially welcome our newcomer. This is Rita and she’s the one I told you about.

***

Well done, honorable Sunbeam.

Rita, it’s so sad that we have to meet under these circumstances when tie is short and the cold fingers of the darkness reaches for us. But we wouldn’t have summoned you if it wasn’t important.

***

She’s not ready. She’s too inexperienced. As far as I know she’s not even able to talk to her horse yet, is she?

You should know that I was against this from the very beginning, I…

***

Quiet! If we could get hold of all four Soulriders we wouldn’t need to do this, but Elizabeth Sunbeam assures that Rita is of the right kind and has the best qualifications to be a legendary Soulrider. Actually, better than anyone in a long time. Tell us, Elizabeth.

***

Thank you, Fripp. I’ve told you that she passed the “test.” You know, the first test where you can see which of the four powers you belong to by activating your power’s runestone. To keep the secret, I’ve only told Fripp about what really happened, until now…

***

Get to the point, druid. I’m not convinced yet.

***

She activated all four runestones.

***

:O

***

Rita possesses all four powers. As you all know, it’s been more than a hundred years since this happened the last time. This innocent little girl has the potential to be the strongest Soulrider of them a in modern times! Maybe the strongest ever… But enough about that. She needs training and experience but we don’t have the luxury of time now.

***

But she doesn’t have any training.

***

Mmm… We didn’t have any training when it started for us…

***

True, true. We’re done with this now, and I assume that no one questions her participation here any more? … Good… We have much more important things to talk about so we have to do the best we can and have time for regarding training of Rita when the opportunity arises.

Let’s summarize the situation. We know that Jorvik once more is being threatened by the great Darkness, the one called “Garnok.” We tell be the illegal and dark magic which has started haunting the neighborhood in a lot of different ways. Even our perceptive Rita has noticed this.

That’s why it’s time to perform the Light ceremony so we can stop Garnok for now, but it’s not that easy…

Alex and Linda are two of the four Soulriders we can get hold of. Lisa and Anne have disappeared. Rita can probably replace one of them but we have to continue our search for Lisa or Anne because we need four Soulriders for the ceremony and that’s how it was even before the Lost Book of Ceremonies disappeared…

***

Well summarized master Fripp. So far Garnok is not that strong, but we’ve noticed that there seems to be a lot of strange characters out there who are interested in what we do and they’re curious about the dangerous side effects that will appear when Garnok gets stronger. We also have to focus on finding and identifying our enemies before they grow too strong…

***

Well, the time has come. We’ll spread the word to all druids in Jorvik. We’ll tell them that it’s time for the ceremony again. The primary goal for all of us is to find at least one of the disappeared Soulriders. Let’s call a meeting again soon, when we have more information to share.

***

Thank you all for coming on such short notice and thank you Rita. I hope you’ll accept a membership when the time is right. Please stay and ask some questions, if you want. We’ll answer the as best we can.

***

What are the Keepers of Aideen?

We’re a group of druids who’ve been on this island since the dawn of time. We acted more in secrecy in the past, but today a lot of people know about our existence, even though our real purpose is a well kept secret. For now, I can’t tell you the innermost secret about our real purpose but without hiding anything I can tell you that our main task is to protect Jorvik from Garnok – the dark force – so it won’t grow stronger and take over the world.

***

What Can a Keeper of Aideen Do?

We do what we always have done, since the dawn of time. Every time we notice that Garnok is gaining more power we gather the four Soulriders through a ceremony described in the Lost Book of Ceremonies. That ceremony can prevent Garnok from spreading out and we can push it back, at least for a while. We can never permanently stop Garnok, but so far we’ve managed to stop it from poisoning our world with its malevolence. Garnok is unpredictable and can be active anything between once a year to slumbering for decades. During the thousands of years we have existed we have not failed yet…

***

What’s a Soulrider?

There is always at least four Soulriders. It’s always a special girl who like you has a unique bond to her horse. A horse whose soul is one with the island of Jorvik’s essence… Soulriders are rare nowadays and we have problems finding new ones. We hope that one day, you will become a Soulrider and help us in the struggle against Garnok and others who work against us…

***

What Do We Know About Lisa and Anne?

I can tell you all I know about Lisa. After her success in the Star Academy school on Jorvik I was told that Lisa went on a tour with her rock band for a couple of years. It wasn’t easy contacting her during this time. I’ve traveled and searched for her without any luck The tour is now over and people say that she’s on vacation. But Herman in the Jorvik Stable had news. He says that she’s been in the stable and taken her horse, Starshine, out for a ride. This was a couple of weeks ago and after that, it seems she disappeared without a trace. But we think she is still somewhere on Jorvik.

Linda, can you tell us what we know about Anne?

***

I have made inquiries about Anne but always come to dead-ends. Anne was a very successful dressage competitor and traveled around to compete and to show her skills. One day, about two years ago, during a competition in France, the speaker called her name but she didn’t show up. The audience was disappointed and wondered what could’ve happened. No one’s seen her since that day. There is no trace of Anne or her horse, Concorde.

Unfortunately, that’s all I know.

***

What’s This Place?

The Secret Stonering is a place like no other. Time and space work in different ways in here, compared to the rest of the world. We, the Keepers of Aideen, have the ability to travel here from different places on Jorvik when we hold council meetings. You can always return to this place and due to its special nature you can eet us here again – not yet then. I hope you understand.

***

Who Are Against the Druids?

Dark Core, controlled by Mr Sands, is one of our most dangerous enemies. Thank goodness you realized that Mr Sands is active on this island again so we can be ready to act when they show themselves. Dark Core claims to be a multinational company with the same interests as G.E.D. But we think that Mr Sands is looking for a way to control Garnok and use that powerful force to take over the world. We don’t think that’s possible and the ony thing he’ll be able to do is to destroy our world when he tries.

We have more people who want to stop us, or have their own agendas regarding Garnok. So be careful out there! We have to identify what they want and what they’re doing. There are more stakeholders involved than ever before and Garnok isn’t even that strong yet…

***

What Does Justin Have to Do With This?

As you proved, Justin is unfortunately Mr Sands’ grandson. It’s clear that Mr Sands has a purpose for him and that he has something big going on since he doesn’t dare show his ugly face here again. We should invest some time and energy to find the poor boy. Not only to save him from Mr Sands, but also to be able to stop Mr Sands’ plans and maybe get some information about what exactly they are from Justin.

***

What is the Book of Ceremonies?

Funny that you ask that. The book is used at the ceremony to prevent Garnok from growing in strength and to temporarily chase him away. Unfortunately the book has been lost for a couple hundred years and that’s why we call it the – Lost – Book of Ceremonies. Though, we’ve been careful and made a copy of some of the most important chapters and the four parts of that copy is spread out between us druids. One day we hope to find the book because it will make the ceremony more powerful and it contains secrets written by ancient druids which we have forgotten or don’t know the meaning of today.

The last time we acted against Garnok, circumstances made our Soulriders do it in a different way…

***

Right… That’s a mild way of putting it on.

***

What Do We Do Now?

You can return here whenever you want to ask us questions again. When time has come we will give you some tasks. You have to be patient and wait until we have the right task, right training and a teacher for you. We think of time differently and in your world you may think that time is slow. For us it is a bit… different. So we ask you to be patient.

***

Besides learning how to be a Soulrider – if you will accept our offer to be that – we hope you want to keep looking for Justin, Lisa, and Anne. You also have to look for and try to identify which new enemies we have out there. As soon as we have a suitable task for you, we’ll let you know, Rita. We need you!

***

Thanks, I Don’t Have Any More Questions for Now.

Ok, Rita. You know that you can return to this place they same way I showed you, if you have any more questions. See you in Valedale. Talk to me when we meet there.

***

Return and wait! We will contact you soon. See you Rita, thanks for coming here!

______________

Welcome back, Rita. That went well, didn’t it?

Quest completed

______________

Follow Up

Now you know more about how things work. If you need to, you can return in time and space to this meeting and ask us questions again. You can always use the secret path, which will take you to the Stonering. But keep it a secret, ok?

Objectives: Talk to Elizabeth.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 60 with Keepers of Aideen

Speak with Elizabeth more about the meeting.

Good, Rita. Your adventure will soon continue and I’ll also try to teach you how to use your powers so you too can be a Soulrider. Good luck, we will contact you again!

Quest completed

Alex needs your help now. Go see her at the Winery.

There’s quite a bit of continuity errors in these next quests, but for the time being, let’s just go with it. Silly game writers, you can’t keep your facts straight! 😉

My Dear Little Pony

Rita, I’m only borrowing this old horse because my horse, Tin-Can, has been put at the Jorvik Stable for the winter. The bridge in southern Silverglade is broken, so unfortunately I haven’t been able to go and get Tin-Can yet. Herman, the guy who owns the barn, is going to ship over Tin-Can! Can you help me pick Tin-Can up?

Objectives: Chat with Alex.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Alex will tell you her plan for getting Tin-Can back.

Thank you, it is really kind of you to help me! I need to ride back and return this old horse now. Ride over and meet Herman where he is arriving with the boat so he doesn’t have to wait for me… I’m sure he is already there. I’m sure you and my horse Tin-Can will get along great… even if he is a little bit… special.

Quest completed

______________

Pony-Pickup is Underway

I’ll ride back to drop off this old horse while you pick up my horse Tin-Can. Meet Herman and lead Tin-Can back with you to where I will be waiting at the Winery. Herman is landing with Tin-Can somewhere near Southern Irongate Beach. Do you know where that is? It is right beside the Baroness’ Riding Arena.

Objectives: Meet Herman who is coming with Alex’s horse Tin-Can on the beach past the Riding Arena, beside Southern Irongate.

Rewards: 60 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

You’ll see the ship moored in the water behind the Riding Arena. Head towards it. Herman and Tin-Can will be standing on the beach.

Ahoy there! I’m Herman, the owner of the Jorvik Stall. I’m guessing you are Rita? You are here to pick up Tin-Can for Alex, right?

Quest completed

______________

Herman Here!

Ahoy there young lady! It isn’t too often I go out on a boat, but Captain Brus nicely offered to ship Tin-Can here for us. You know the bridge to Southern Jorvik broke during the winter? Shipping the horse was the only solution for now. Of course Alex shouldn’t have to be without her horse!

Objectives: Listen to what Herman has to say.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Herman will tell you more about himself.

Let me tell you a little about myself Rita. I am the director of the legendary Jorvik Riding Center in Southern Jorvik. I have helped Lisa, Anne, Alex, and Linda in their earlier adventures here on Jorvik. Understand that I am not a member of the Keepers of Aideen but I’ll always be on their side and help them in any way I can against anything that might threaten Jorvik.

Quest completed

______________

And This is Tin-Can

I guarantee we will meet again sometime soon Rita. When the bridge in Nilmer’s Highlands is fixed, or when the ferry boat is running again I’m sure we’ll see you at the Jorvik Riding Center. Any friends of the druids is a friend of mine. Here is Tin-Can… he can certainly introduce himself!

Objectives: Speak with Tin-Can the horse. It is possible if you try…

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Is this what Alex meant by ‘special’??

Ho ho! That’s right. I am Tin-Can, Alex’s faithful companion. And of course you are Rita and you will take me to Alex?

Quest completed

______________

Take Me to Alex

Strange that I can speak? Ha ha ha! Some people think so. I’ll tell you what is strange isn’t that I can talk but that you hear me. It isn’t everyone who can speak with a horse, you know. Thanks to your work with the druids some new and unexplained powers have begun to awake…

So, my friend. Show me the way to Alex! I don’t have any shoes right now so please don’t ride too fast… I have sore hooves.

Objectives: Escort Tin-Can to Alex. But don’t ride too fast.. Tin-Can doesn’t have any horseshoes and has sore hooves.

Rewards: 85 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 50 with Keepers of Aideen

Here’s one of those funny discrepancies. Tin-Can says he doesn’t have shoes, but when he lifts his feet you can clearly see he does in fact have them.

But anyway!

Ride with Tin-Can back to the Winery.

Tin-Can! Tin-Can! My old true friend! Finally we get to be together again! I’ll never leave you ever again!

Quest completed

______________

Catch Up With Elizabeth

Oh, it is so wonderful to have Tin-Can back again! But it isn’t right that he doesn’t have horseshoes. There is only one kind of horseshoe that works for Tin-Can. Elizabeth in Valedale has them. If you ride over to Elizabeth and tell her whatwe need and bring them back then I’ll give you a pair of brand new white riding pants. Sound like a good deal?

Objectives Pick up the right horseshoes for Tin-Can. Elizabeth in Valedale has them.

Ride back to Valedale to get the horseshoes from Elizabeth.

Quest completed

______________

Perfect Shoes for Tin-Can

There they are! I thought I had misplaced them. I might have taken a whole day to find them… but lucky for us not this time. Take this package of antique druid horseshoes to Alex. These should be good enough… even for an amazing horse like Tin-Can.

Objectives: Deliver the horseshoes to Alex and Tin-Can.

Rewards: 85 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP, White Riding Pants

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to the Winery with the horseshoes.

I am splitting this day in half. Linda is ready to talk to you again on this day, and will continue the game’s main storyline, meaning spoilers. I will make this post for the major part of the quests for this day that do not contain spoilers.

Stolen Money?

Do you think someone may have taken my money? Who would do such a thing? I have to check if anyone has seen something suspicious. Rita, you’ve already helped me a lot, but it would be really kind if you could help me find out who the thief is.

Maybe you can ask if Barney at the silo has seen anything? Barney hears a lot of what happens around here and has many contacts. Not what you’d expect from him, but it’s a fact. Yeah, I’m talking about the Barney who hangs out at the silo east of Steve’s farm.

Objectives: Ask Barney at the silo, east of Steve’s farm, if he has seen or heard anything about a thief in this neighborhood.

I can see a lot from the top of my hill but I can’t see all the way to Valedale. My advice is to ride to Valedale and check if they’ve heard something. You know, the druids can see and hear things that on one else can… Talk to the druid Elizabeth.

Objectives: Ride to Elizabeth in Valedale Village and ask if she’s seen anything strange.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

So maybe Elizabeth knows? You never can tell with those druids…

Hello my friend! Nice to see you. I’m also waiting for news about Alex, but I haven’t heard anything yet. What? A thief? No, I haven’t noticed anything unusual. Poor Tan who lost her money.

Quest completed

______________

Deeper Into the Woods

We druids have a lot of abilities, but we don’t master all kinds of magic, as many of the uninitiated, like Will seem to think. So there’s no way I can help you find out what happened to Tan’s money.

Valedale feels peaceful as usual but ask Sonja, who you met earlier. She knows Hollow Woods better than anyone here. You’ll find her in the neighborhood. She likes to ride around in the middle of Hollow Woods, close to the main road. Search southwest of the old abandoned summerhouse.

Objectives: Find Sonja in Hollow Woods. She likes to ride around in the middle of the forest, close to the road which goes through it. Search southwest of the old abandoned summerhouse.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

Sonja may need some chasing to be able to talk to her. She rides in counter-clockwise circles around the hill, across the road from the abandoned summer house. If you stand on the road, eventually she’ll come into view.

Speak to her about the theft.

Rita! Nice seeing you again! Money you say? I haven’t seen anything strange but I found some coins on the ground over there.

Quest completed

______________

Coins on the Ground

Where I found the coins? Below the bird’s nest over there, a stone’s throw away to the north, close to the runestone.

Objectives: Ride to the nest with the red bird, not so far away to the north where Sonja rides around. Close to a runestone.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

If you continue up the road towards Valedale, the runestone can be seen from the road. Go towards it, and Birdie is around on the other side, perched on a large rock.

Tweet, tweeeet, tweet, tweeeet!

Quest completed

______________

Twetweet!

Tweeeet, tweet, tweet?!

Objectives: You decide to tak to Sonja and tell her what you have discovered…

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

This bird seems distressed. Maybe Sonja knows what’s the matter.

You must be kidding?! You say that the birds have lined their nest with Tan’s money? Is it true? The birds must like shiny things!

Quest completed

______________

Bird Thief

You have to ride to Tan and tell her! Here, take these coins, they must belong to her. See you Rita! Say hello to Tan from me.

Objectives: Ride and tell Tan what you have found out.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

Return to Moorland and tell Tan the news.

I can’t believe my ears! I thought that a nasty thief had done this. But we can’t take away the coins from the birds, that would be mean. The birds can’t know they shouldn’t take my money, they didn’t do it on purpose because birds can’t know that money has a value.

Quest completed

______________

Something That Shines

I have an idea! We can swap the money with something else that shines. Maybe Mrs Holdsworth has something we can use?

Objectives: As Mrs Holdsworth, who lives in the red house outside the Moorland Stable, if she has something shiny to give away.

Rewards: 70 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

Of course, Mrs Holdsworth always has something of use!

Go speak with her at her house behind the stables.

Haha! What a lovely story. Of course I’ll help you. Let me look through my things.

______________

A Necklace With Glass Beads, A Bird’s Dream!

Objectives: Trade the necklace for the money from the little bird in Hollow Woods.

Rewards: 70 Jorvik Shillings, 70 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

Shouldn’t we be more concerned that the beads pose a choking hazard??

Ride back to Birdie in Hollow Woods and show him the necklace you have for him.

Tweet, tweeet, tweet, tweeet!

Quest completed

______________

Trading Done

Tweet, tweeet, tweet, tweet-tweet!

Objectives: Trade the necklace for the money and ride back to Tan with the money.

Reputation: 50 with Moorland Stable

Stand under the nest, in the tree behind Birdie, and trade the necklace out with the money. Return to Moorland and speak with Tan when you have done so.

Rita, you’re a hero! Haha, I would never think that the birds wanted to decorate their nest. I’ll never forget this. Thank you!

Quest completed

You’re welcome!

Now let’s go see what the Vet has found with the oil sample from the duck feathers. Go see her in Silverglade Village.

Ongoing Analysis

I’m basically ready… It was very difficult to get good sample material from the feather, there wasn’t a large amount of oil on it. But I managed to get a sample that can be compared with previous samples from Mr Kembell’s oilfield. Take these samples and ride up to Carney at the vineyard and ask if you can borrow the comparison machine again.

Objectives: Ride to Carney at the vineyard stables and ask if you can borrow his comparison machine.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

I’m sure Carney will let you use it. Just be glad you’re not one of his brothers asking…

Hello Rita, how are you today?

Quest completed

______________

One More Comparison of Samples

So, you want to borrow my comparison machine again. It should work. Oddly enough, I don’t use it as much as I thought I would when I bought it at J-Bay, so it’s just as well that it will do some good. Just take your samples and use the machine. It’s on the table next to us.

Objectives: Use the oil samples in Carney’s comparison machine, which stands on the table at the vineyard stables.

Rewards: 16 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Use the comparison machine on the picnic table behind you. Speak to Carney when you are done.

Did it work? Yes, look. The result is clear. It’s the same oil in both samples you tested.

Quest completed

______________

Tell Felix About the Evidence

Ride back to Felix in Silverglade Village and tell him that the samples are identical.

Objectives: Ride to Felix and tell him. He’s at the fountain in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Somebody ain’t gonna be happy…

Really? Then we know that Mr Kembell’s oil has polluted the duck feather. At least we have the proof.

Quest completed

Now that we know who polluted the ducks, go speak to the Vet about cleaning them up.

Cleaning of Ducks

The cute little ducks are clean and happy again! It was more difficult than I thought to clean the fragile feathers, but it went well. Take the ducks to Felix so he’ll be happy again.

Objectives: Bring the five clean ducks to Felix at the fountain in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

Felix will be happy to see his ducks all squeaky clean.

Wow, they’re so nice and shiny! And completely clean. Poor ducks, covered by oil like that. I get so angry when I think of that irresponsible Mr Kembell, I almost want to scream.

Quest completed

______________

The Summer’s Main Attraction is Saved!

How wonderful that they mystery of the disappearing ducks was solved! Now we’ll just launch them into the fountain. You’ll have the honor to do it since you’re the hero, Rita! Carefully put the ducks in the fountain, one by one.

Objectives: Place the ducks in the fountain in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP, Checkered Pants

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

Stand near the fountain and place the ducks in the water. Return to Felix when you are finished.

The ducks are so cute! The whole village will thank you for this. What an effort you’ve made – the big attraction of the summer is saved! Thank you Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Someone Will Have to Pay For This

The ducks are rescued, but Mr Kembell makes me so angry! It’s so irresponsible to pollute the beautiful Everwind Fields with oil. It destroys the environment and more birds could be harmed.

We have to stop him once and for all! Can you talk to the Magistrate here in the village and help me establish a case against Mr Kembell for damaging nature, cruelty to animals and breaking the environmental laws, and bring that walking disaster to justice?!

Objectives: Talk to the Magistrate in Silverglade Village about filing a report against Mr Kembell.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

Magistrate, aka Council Man.

Hello little one! Oh? File a report about damage and environmental crime? We can do that but it’ll take some time. We’re talking a week or more. A lot of paperwork, you know. It takes a long time to flip papers and write the right things so everything is legal.

Quest completed

______________

Waiting for the Long Arm of the Law

We’re building a case against Mr Kembell. No one wants him and his ruthless corporation here in Jorvik. We’re also waiting for our dear Commissioner Klas to come back to the village after winter break. Both cops and robbers usually stay calm during the cold winter months here in Silverglade.

Objectives: Talk to the Magistrate.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

See what more the Council Man has to say.

How long does it take? As I said before, it’ll take weeks before the case against Mr Kembell is ready, but then we can go full force and get him out of here, I hope. Thank you for your report! Good luck now and thanks for saving the ducks. You are a hero, Rita! We could use more of your kind her in the village in times like these.

Quest completed

Felix has something new to tell you about, go speak to him.

Waiting for a Train

The lemmings here on Jorvik are very special. Every year, the same time, they march from the other side of the mountains, come here and then they go home again. No one knows why they are doing this but I think it’s some kind of pilgrimage. I heard from Mario up on the Observatory that he had seen some lemmings who seemed lost. Maybe you can ride up to him? To look at the lemmings and maybe help them on the right track.

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards on this one, sorry!

Some pilgrims are lost on their way to lemming-Mecca. Better help them out!

Ride up the observatory. You can ride your newly built gondola lift to get up there quickly.

Hi! Have you talked to Felix? Yes, what he says is true. I have seen the yearly lemming march and I have to tell you it’s not a march any more. The little creatures seem to have lost each other.

Quest completed

______________

The March Has Gone Astray

I saw some lemmings when I was taking my morning walk but I have such a horrible lemming allergy so I can’t go near them. I have spent the whole morning looking at them in my telescope and I am so worried about them. You are not allergic? Can’t you look below the Observatory, pick up all lemmings you find and put them in your backpack?

Objectives: Look for lemmings below the Observatory.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Valedale

The lemmings can be found mostly under the bridge to the Observatory. They are marked in orange on your map.

Return to Mario when you have found them all.

Oh no, I can feel in my nose that you have found all the lemmings! So good that they like small spaces so that they are comfortable in your backpack. I hope you won’t get too much lemming hair on your things…

Quest completed

______________

Get the Lemmings to Their Correct Destination

The lemmings’ last stop on the march used to be in Valedale. I suggest that you ride there with them and maybe do it right now before I sneeze so hard that you fall off your horse!

Objectives: Ride to Valedale with the lemmings.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Valedale

I’m not so concerned about falling off my horse. I’m more concerned about you falling off that cliff!

Take the lemmings down toward Valedale. Sophie will know what to do with them.

Lemmings! I have waited the whole day for them. Why do you have them in your backpack?

Quest completed

______________

The March is Delayed

Are they confused? The poor little things. Maybe you can herd them up the hill towards the snow, they usually go to their homes that way.

Objectives: Follow the lemmings up the hill towards the snow.

Rewards: 120 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Valedale

The lemmings are in a line on the ground, and will start their march as soon as you accept the quest. Follow them all the way up the mountain trail, to the snow at the top.

Return to Sophie when they have made it safely.

Did it wok? Are they on the right track now? So good that you could help them, no one knows how long we had been standing here, waiting for the. I hope they will be on the right track next year.

Quest completed

With that done, let’s go see Minka in Firgrove. She has a new racing track for you to try out.

Firgrove’s Hard Forest Track

Hello Rita! I have finally finished the renovation of Firgrove’s old, difficult and dangerous forest track. It’s a bit hard, or super tough to be honest… I don’t know if I’m brave enough to try it myself, but you are so talented so maybe you want to try it? Please, Rita, can you test it before I open it for the public?

Objectives: Finish the track in the best possible time.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 100 with Firgrove

Ride the hard forest track, then speak with Minka when you are done.

Did it work? It’s not impossibly hard? You did great I think! Even if it’s difficult I think it’s good. Experienced riders like you need a challenge! I hereby declare Firgrove’s old forest track opened!

Quest completed

You can now ride the forest track (and the track in reverse) as a daily race.

Mrs Packard has something she would like you to help with. Go see her by her house in Firgrove.

Chicken Wishes

Me and my grandson Andy have decided that we want a chicken coop. It would be so nice to have some chickens and fresh eggs around here. I am old and frail and Andy already has too much to do taking care of the sheep. Would you mind helping us build a chicken coop? I would be so thankful!

Objectives: Talk to Mrs Packard.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

See what Mrs Packard has to say about this new idea of hers.

I’m sure Andy will help you, ride down and talk to him. He is watching the sheep next to Firgrove’s sandpit.

Quest completed

Go talk to Andy down by the sandpit.

Building Boss

Howdy Rita! Have you talked to my grandma? We have talked for a long time about buying some chickens and a chicken coop, but nothing has happened because my grandma s so old and I have too much to do. But if you want to help I can guide you through the whole building procedure. Grandma will be so happy.

Objectives: Talk to Andy.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Andy will tell you his plans for the chicken coop.

There is a lot to do but if we take one thing at a time we’ll do just fine. I wonder where we should build the chicken coop…

Quest completed

______________

A Perfect Place

I am not sure where we should put it, but it should be somewhere not too far away. I want to be able to watch over my and grandma’s chickens. Would you mind riding around this pen to see if you can find a place that looks good?

Objectives: Ride around the sheep pen and find a good place to build a chicken coop. Return to Andy when you have found it.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

There are two places to check. One is behind where Andy is standing. The other is on the other side of where the race track comes down towards the sheep pen.

Speak with Andy when you have found the good place.

Cool! That’s terrific. Now we can build the chicken coop! I have already prepared a drawing, hehe. I like things to be well organized.

Quest completed

______________

Wood for Construction

I happen to know that there are some planks around the old mine down there. I think they are left over from when they built the mine many years ago. Ride down and look, I don’t think anyone will miss the planks. It’s good that someone will get some use out of them.

Objectives: Ride down to the Silverglade Mine and gather planks for the chicken coop.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

You will see the mine in the distance if you face where you will build the chicken coop, with your back to Andy. The planks are scattered close to the mine buildings. Pick them up and return to Andy when you are done.

Great! This should be enough. The planks look good. They are even still a nice red color! Grandma said that she wanted her chicken coop to be red so this will be perfect.

Quest completed

______________

Build a Chicken Coop

So! Shall we start with the construction? Here is a hammer and some nails. I have left the planks you found where we will build the chicken coop. Do you remember my drawing? A red house with a nice frame around it.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

The planks are on the ground where the chicken coop shall be built. You have to dismount your horse to be able to use the hammer. When you are done building, return to Andy.

Wow, so great! And such a good drawing I made! You are a real handyman. But something is missing…

Quest completed

______________

Chicken Wire

Oh, I got it! We need chicken wire! Otherwise the chickens will run out into the woods. Imagine if they could run up on the racing track? That could only end in disaster. Felicity in the stable in Firgrove Village has fencing for the sheep pen. Maybe she has some we can use for the chicken coop too?

Objectives: Ride to Felicity and ask if she has some chicken wire.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Ride up to Firgrove and ask Felicity for some wire.

Hiya! So fun seeing you again! Is the sheep pen broken already?? Oh, you are building a chicken coop! Of course I can give you some chicken wire. I have some old chicken wire, but I need to repair it first.

Quest completed

Return to Felicity tomorrow.

Landon, in the field behind the mill, has something you tell you. Go see him about starting a new race.

Rather One Rabbit in the Hand Than Ten in the Forest

Hello! The rabbits on this field are very playful. They chase each other all day and love when someone on a horse tries to catch them. Have you tried? No? Then it’s time you try it.

Try to catch six rabbits as fast as you can! You finish the competition when you return to me.

Objectives: Catch six rabbits as fast as you can. Finish the competition next to Landon.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 100 with Silverglade Village

This is honestly my least favorite race in the whole game. It is difficult. There’s no way around it.

The easiest way I have found to complete it is to use the arrow keys to control my horse, with one hand, and use the computer mouse to click on the rabbits, with the other hand.

When you have caught six rabbits, run to Landon as fast as you can to finish the race.

Good luck.

He he! It was really fun! Wasn’t it? The rabbits seem to really enjoy it.
