Funny how she doesn’t care what his name is, so long as she’s asked out on a date. She must be pretty desperate…

Ride back to Lance and tell him that Mary accepts his invitation to a date.

lance

“I would love to go on a date with you! A picnic in the shadow of a tree, close to the beautiful cemetery! Come and meet me there tomorrow.” What a nice letter! And she said yes! She says we’ll have a picnic tomorrow. That’s great!

Return to Lance tomorrow.

Now let’s go see how the trainee at the Winery is doing with the cement.

The Hole in the Wall is Gone

ged_trainee

Woohoo! Look at that! Everything is fixed. So nice. It is time for me to get back to North Link. I hope the boss isn’t too angry at me for being away for so long.

Goodbye for now, come and visit me any time by North Link any time you like. You can tell the Baroness that the cellar is expanded and ready to go so she should be happy. I’ll get out of here as soon as you talk with her.

See you soon!

Objectives: Speak with the Baroness.

What a Fantastic Cellar

baroness

This has been wonderfully done Rita. You are as good at building as you are with wines and riding! Is there anything you can’t do? Look how big the cellar is now. We should be able to store many fine years of wine. 

You have mopped the whole floor down too… The floor has never been this clean in here before. You didn’t really need to do that.

Objectives: Speak with the Baroness.

Rewards: 200 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP, Baroness Coat

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

Oh, gee, you flatter me…

Now, back up into the daylight again.

baroness

As thanks for your fantastic work, I have your compensation here. I would also like you to have this jacket that I had when I was young. See this as a little bonus for doing such a great job.

Quest completed

Now let’s go check on the trainee up at North Link.

Finished With Training

ged_trainee

Hello there! So great to see you again. I’m glad you came so soon because I won’t be here for long. I’ve gotten a bit tired of this job. Nobody even noticed that I was missing.

Everything is in such bad shape and it feels like none of them care what we do or that we are destroying the environment for no reason. Nope… This is not the right job for me. I want to work to make things grow rather than destroying them.

The winery you say? Yes, I do know a lot about wine. You are right, that would be perfect for me. Speak with the Baroness and tell her you sent me? Thank you for the tip! I’ll do that right away!

Objectives: Speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Finally. A worker with a heart. I think I like this guy.

ged_trainee

It is a little strange but I don’t think we were ever properly introduced. Rita? What a nice name! My name is Conny. I hope we’ll see each other again soon.

Goodbye!

Quest completed

Marley has an idea for a new project for you. Let’s go see what he has to say.

Marley’s New Idea

marley

Howdy Rita! Thanks for all the help building the jumping course. Now I really need your help again! The jumping course is fine of course… But I was reading in the last Jorvik Gazette about barrel racing. It sounds like the coolest thing ever! I’ve already started to put a course together…

Unfortunately I have NO idea how barrel racing really works… So I ordered an official rulebook. Can you pick it up for me? Derek at the post office should have it by now.

Objectives: Ride to the post office in Silverglade and pick up the Barrel Racing Rulebook that Marley order.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

The post office is in the main square, across from the vet’s house.

derek

Heya Rita! Aha! Yes, Marley’s book has arrived.

Quest completed

______________

Post with a Plan

derek

Here is the book Marley ordered. Barrel racing huh? It sounds really really fun! If I ever manage to get up in the saddle I would definitely want to try that out. Yes, I did sneak a peek at the book last night… I was bored… I hope you don’t mind…

Say hello to Marley for me and good luck!

Objectives: Bring the rulebook to Marley.

Rewards 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

You’re lucky you’re cute, because I wouldn’t want you to be my mailman. How unprofessional, looking at other people’s mail.

Take the book back to Marley.

marley

Yeehaw! Now we can put together the first official barrel racing course in Jorvik. Give me a hand here Rita. This is going to be fantastic!

Quest completed

______________

Barrels for the Race

marley

The first thing I did was order some barrels. You can’t really have a barrel race without barrels, right? Even I couldn’t get that wrong…

James in Fort Pinta was supposed to accept the order and bring them here… But he hasn’t shown up. Can you ride over to James and find out what the hold-up is?

Objectives: Ride over to James in Fort Pinta and find out what has happened to the barrels Marley ordered.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Always a delivery problem. Seriously…

Let’s go see what James has to say about the missing barrels.

james

Of course… the barrels. I had almost forgotten about that. Unfortunately the truck that delivered them had a bit of an accident. The truck driver thought for some reason I said “Firgrove” and not “Fort Pinta,” so he drove up in the mountains instead of coming straight here…

The truck driver called from Firgrove and said that the barrels must have fallen off somewhere between Valedale Lake and Firgrove. He said that if I wanted the barrels I would have to go and pick them up myself. He said there was no amount of money that would make him drive THAT road again. I’d love to help out but I have to take care of all the tourists here in Fort Pinta. Business is going great right now so I don’t really have any time to spare. I’m afraid that if Marley wants them you’ll have to find them yourself. Good luck!

Objectives: Find the barrels in the mountains between Firgrove and Valedale Lake and deliver them to Marley.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

There are three barrels to find along the Firgrove Mountain Pass. Two of them are on the trail. The thrid is off the trail, on the Firgrove side, at the first sharp corner.

When you have pick up all three barrels, return to Marley with them.

marley

You found the barrels! Great job Rita. But wait… They are completely broken. What should I do now? Without barrels I can’t really have a barrel race, can I?

Quest completed

Return to Marley tomorrow.

Tyra needs your help up at the Winery.

A Ghost in the Wine Cellar

tyra

Hello Rita. Can you help me with something? Please?

You see, the Baroness wants me to get a bottle of her finest wine from the wine cellar. She is going to serve her finest wine next weekend at her dinner with the Councilman. So I went down in the wine cellar and started to look for the bottle.

Suddenly I heard a horrible noise and the whole ground started to shake! I was so frightened that I just dropped everything and ran out of there. I don’t want to go in there again but the Baroness is going to be angry if I don’t do what I’m told. Can you get the bottle for me?

The wine cellar is at the other end of the winery. There is a door to it in the factory building behind the stores.

Objectives: Go down in the vineyard wine cellar and get the bottle of wine for the Baroness. The wine cellar is at the other end of the winery and there is a door behind the shops.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Ride north from Tyra, past the manor. The door to the cellar is on the east side of the winery building.

Once in the cellar, go down the stairs and turn left into the first door, then go right into the next room, to get the wine.

Watch out for ghosts on the way down!

ged_trainee

Eh… This doesn’t look like northern Jorvik…

Quest completed

______________

This Isn’t North Link

ged_trainee

Hello there! Where am I anyways? In a wine cellar? Eh? I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere…

Wait! Don’t go! Let me tell you all about it. This is how it is. Today is my first day as a trainee at G.E.D. by North Link and the first thing they did was show me their new drilling machine. Here is your new job they said, just drive it straight. Then they said good luck and walked off to drink more coffee.

So I figured I’d better do what they tell me to… But it seems like I drove the machine a little crooked. If the boss finds out I’ll get fired right away. I’m so unlucky.

What should I do now? I have no idea. This is so embarrassing. Can you help me get out of this fix I’m in?

Objectives: Speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

I know exactly how you feel, dude. Getting poor training and you muff everything up on your first day.

ged_trainee

What do I think I should do? I have no idea…

Quest completed

______________

Which Bottle is the Right One for the Baroness?

ged_trainee

You can’t come up with anything? Please, try and think of something. Please!

A bottle of wine? Yes, there is a bottle on the shelf here beside me of the finest Chateau Silverglade 1955, it has a complex taste with an excellent bouquet and a strong finish. An excellent choice for a formal meal. How do I know? Both my mother and father were sommeliers so I’ve been learning about wine since I could crawl.

You are going to take the wine to the Baroness so that she won’t come down and look around here? Ok, but don’t leave me in the lurch. Co back as soon as you can.

Objectives: Take the bottle from the shelf by the trainee and deliver it to the Baroness.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the bottle behind the trainee and take it back outside to the Baroness.

And in case you were wondering, a sommelier is a wine steward; someone who is knowledgeable about many different wines and their tastes. They often work at high-end restaurants, and probably have more class than your average bartender.

Also, let’s hope he learned that info about wine from his parents, because he looks too young to drink.

baroness

How about that, that is the bottle I was looking for last week. Ah, from 1955. I didn’t know you were a wine expert Rita. But normally the staff is very dependable. But this took strangely long time.

Quest completed

______________

Organization of Years

baroness

You are an orderly girl Rita, how could it take so long?

Of course it is probably my own fault. It has been years since I have been down in the wine cellar… It must be very disorganize down there by now. I think it would be for the best if I went down there and looked into it myself. Rita, let’s go down and take a look right now.

What’s that? There is a wasp nest on the cellar stairs? Would you do me a favor and get rid of it? I’m allergic to bees you know.

Objectives: Go down into the wine cellar again and speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Go down to ‘get rid of the bees’ and warn the trainee that the Baroness is coming.

ged_trainee

Oh no! The Baroness is on her way here? She’s not going to be happy when she sees what I’ve done. What are we going to do?

Quest completed

______________

To Hide a Cellar

ged_trainee

What should we do? I have no idea… Hide the hole in the wall? We can’t do that…

What? Block the door with barrels? I’m not sure I understand but I’ll trust you. Don’t shut me in here. I promise I won’t make a sound. I’ll be quiet as a mouse!

Objectives: Pick up the barrels in the cellar and block the door with them. Then speak with the Baroness again.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the barrels, then go outside the room to place them. Once they are all up, go out of the cellar and speak with the Baroness.

baroness

Hello young lady. Is the wasp nest gone now? Excellent. Meet me in the wine cellar as soon as you can.

Quest completed

The Baroness is now down in the cellar in front of the room you just blocked off. Go down in the cellar to speak with her again.

Renovation of the Wine Cellar

baroness

It is overflowing with wine in the cellar! How could we fill up the cellar all the way up to the door? It has been a good couple of years now but I didn’t know it had been this good. We need to expand the cellar!

Can you take care of this development Rita? Great! Can you see to it that the cellar gets renovated? I promise you will be well compensated for your efforts. Were agreed then! Let me know when you are done. It will be so exciting to see the new cellar. Work quickly dear.

See you soon!

Objectives: Move the barrels again and speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

With the Baroness safely out of sight, take down the barrels and speak with the trainee.

ged_trainee

Oh no! How are we going to fix this Rita?

Quest completed

______________

A Big Hole to Fill

ged_trainee

I’m not good at this kind of thing… Digging a hole and then filling it back in… But for this I think concrete would do the trick. I know there is tons of it up at North Link.

How are we going to get a few tons of cement here? I have no idea…

But I’m sure you will come up with something… You are as smart as a Nobel Prize winner. Maybe you can find a way to fool the boss up there.

Come back as soon as you can!

Objectives: Ride to North Link and find some concrete. The boss should know something.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Who said we would have to fool him? We’re friends. He owes me a big favor anyway…

Ride up to the North Link construction site and speak with the crew lead there.

crew_lead

Concrete? Listen up, don’t go thinking we just give out concrete to anyone who asks for it. Anyways, we don’t have an concrete right now. The last delivery has gotten lost on its way here.

Quest completed

______________

Lost Concrete

crew_lead

Whew. Can you believe it. The guy who drove the truck sent an SMS saying he was driving around Jorvik and doesn’t know where he is I have no idea where he could be… Can you figure out what his message is supposed to mean?

“Heya! I got lost. North of me is a windmill. To the west is a big castle. I have no idea where I am. I’m super tired right now. Cant drive more now. Stopped on a hill. Come find me. /Lightning”

I don’t really get what he is trying to say… and I have a lot of other things to do. Maybe you can find him and give him directions to here? Great. I’ll SMS him and say you will be coming to find him.

Objectives: Find the lost concrete truck.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

I am aware the clue to the truck is confusing. I have contacted game support to change it but have not heard back from them yet, as of writing this.

The truck is to the west of the castle. It is on the road south of the Winery.

quest-missing_cement_truck

Here is a map of its exact location. It is a big giant yellow dump truck, and hard to miss as long as you are on the correct road.

truck_driver

What’s up? Is it you who is going to show me the way to the building site? I have tons of cement I need to get rid of. Where should I take it? I don’t really know. The directions I got are worthless.

Quest completed

______________

New Instructions for the Driver

truck_driver

So you have directions to the build site? To the farm up there? To a factory by the farm? That is very close to here. Excellent!

Ok. I’ll drive there and unload the concrete in the cellar. No problem.

Great, we’ll see you at the Winery then!

Objectives: Ride and meet the driver with the cement delivery by the factory at the Winery.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Go up to the factory building. The truck will be parked in front of it.

Speak to the truck driver when you get there.

It’s funny how he magically disappears as soon as you turn your back to him.

truck_driver

Hello there! I took a bit of a roundabout way here but it got me here before you anyways. They don’t call me Lightning for nothing! Ok, so we are all set to unload the concrete now. This is going to take a while so you might as well come back tomorrow. You can trust old Lightning. 

Cheers! We’ll see you tomorrow.

Quest completed

Return to the Truck Driver tomorrow.

Where did you hear that, young lady? The tailor… Yes, it’s true. My grapes are so rich in pigment that if you do it the right way you can get a really nice purple color, which I like to use myself. But I don’t want everyone in Jorvik to know about this and then come here and take my valuable grapes so I keep it to myself.

Quest completed

Well, now that you already know about it, I’ll help you. You’ve been so helpful around here. If you can help me with today’s grape harvest you can take some of them and make dye. Pick grapes from the vines on the right and left side of the parkway, which is the entrance to the vineyard.

The Final Identification

alex

Listen, when you go to Silverglade Village, whatever you do, don’t get too close to this man. He’s dangerous, ok? I don’t mean to sound like your mom or anything, but I can’t let anything happen to you; we need you in this, Rita.

Take these binoculars, they’re pretty good. Stay at the other end of the square and watch the post office through them. There is a small set of coffee tables there, so take a seat. You may have to wait there for some time before Mr Sandman appears, I suppose. Let’s not hope it will be for too long.

Objectives: Get to the coffee table at Silverglade Village square and watch the post office through the binoculars.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP, Construction Pants

Reputation: 35 with Keepers of Aideen

The coffee tables are behind the Star shop right inside the north entrance to the village.

quest-watching_mr_sandman

Return to Alex once you’ve done your scouting.

alex

So Mr Sands and Mr Sandman is the same person? That explains it. Now we know what kind of tragedy Justin is involved in; he’s not only gone to visit his grandfather, but is probably being held prisoner where ever the Dark Core bring their victims to be brainwashed into joining their sorry pack. And now we know why the Baroness has been acting so strange, as well; she has in fact been married to Mr Sands himself, the slimiest slug in all of Jorvik! I can see why she’s keeping that to herself.

Quest completed

______________

The Truth Unfolds

alex

While you were down in the village both Godfrey and the baroness arrived. Let’s see what the Baroness has to say about all this.

Objectives: Ask the Baroness what she has to say.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Keepers of Aideen

Interrogation time! I’ll play Good Cop, you be Bad Cop….

The Baroness and Godfrey are now standing in front of the Manor

baroness

Oh, dear. This is so embarrassing. I’ll explain everything, of course I will. The way I’ve been behaving, it’s… It simply has been nowhere near the customary dignity of a grown woman. I can only blame it on the constant stress I’ve been under lately, what with the G.E.D. threatening to destroy this island and the vineyard ruined both by them and the merciless winter. I’m too old for all this – that must be it. It makes me act like a wicked old hag. Let me tell you girls what happened.

Quest completed

______________

The Explanation

baroness

A day with really bad weather, I freed Linda from her work around the stables and had her come to the castle to clean up in the attic. Well that was a mistake. Apparently I had an old wedding photo lying around; one of me and the man that used to be my husband, Mr… Sand… man. You’ll have to excuse me, but I just can’t say his current name, I just can’t. Anyway, so the girl found this picture and recognized my husband as Mr… well, as that man. Can you believe the dread I felt at that moment? I panicked – that knowledge could absolutely not leave the castle! It would destroy this family’s reputation, built-up during hundreds of years! I had Godfrey lock Linda in the castle so she wouldn’t tell anyone. And what’s more, this horrifying man Mr… Sands – there I said it – doesn’t seem to have aged a day since I last saw him, 45 years ago!

A complete and utter scandal, that’s what this is. Let me tell you girls more… Perhaps we could work something out, together?

Objectives: The Baroness has something more to say.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Keepers of Aideen

Well, looks like we won’t have to beat it out of her. This time…

baroness

I’m so ashamed, girls, I really am. And yet there’s something that makes me fret when I think of this girl Sabine. She’s had some sort of power over me, I believe. If there was such a thing as darkening of another’s mind, I would say she had used it on me. My head has been feeling different… lighter, since she went away.

Quest completed

Go tell Alex what you have just learned from the Baroness.

A Slight Case of Compromise

alex

You’re right, Rita, the Baroness is a powerful ally. It’s her family that has the greatest influence over Jorvik and we could need her help in all the problems that seem to be waiting around the corner. She should be especially useful in our search for Justin, who we now know to be her grandson. In exchange for her help, we’ll keep quiet about her secrets.

Objectives: Ask the baroness if you have an agreement.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Keepers of Aideen

Return to the Baroness and speak with her about your agreement.

baroness

Oh girls, I will do anything I can to help you from now on. And I’m still rather powerful, that I’ll tell you.

Quest completed

______________

Ask the Butler for the Key

baroness

You should let your friend out of the castle. Godfrey has the key.

Objectives: Ask the butler if he can give you the key to the castle so you can free Linda.

Quest completed

______________

Free Linda

godfrey

There was the key! I always hide it in my shoe but just forgot it this time. Here you are. You and Alex can ride down to the castle and lock up the castle door and let your dear friend out.

Objectives: Ride down to the castle and open the castle door with the key to the castle.

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Ugh, it smells like feet…

Ride with Alex to the castle gate.

Once you’ve unlocked the gate, walk towards it and it will open. You will find Linda inside.

linda

Oh, bright light in my eyes. What?! I am free?

Quest completed

______________

A Happy Linda

linda

I… I’m out! Finally! And it’s all thanks to you, guys! Did you find the book pages? So what’s happening here, if I may ask? The baroness apologized, I see… Well, I haven’t exactly had a blast in the tower… But at least I’ve had the time to read a lot of books. So, are you a friend of Alex? I see, thank you so much for letting me out. Now maybe you could tell me what’s happened while I was in there? I want to know EVERYTHING.

Objectives: Update Linda on what has happened while she was in the tower.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Keepers of Aideen

Give Linda all of the juicy details.

linda

Whew, there seems to be a lot of weirdness going on! The Dark Core are active in Jorvik again with Mr Sands as their leader, the druids want to summon us girls once again, Justin Moorland is gone… Dark clouds are hovering over this island. It seems like the adventure has only just begun.

Quest completed

______________

The End is the New Beginning

alex

So, a lot of things are indeed happening here. I really appreciate your being able to help me in this, Rita, you have been fantastic. Next thing I’ve got to do is finding two other girls called Anne and Lisa. They make a little team together with Linda and me, you see, and we have to continue working for the Keepers of Aideen in favor of this precious island. Until I find them I, Linda, Elizabeth and the baroness will keep on looking for Justin. I would very much like it if you joined us, Rita. Will you please join us?

Objectives: Tell Alex that you want to keep on helping her.

Rewards: 250 Jorvik Shillings, 90 XP

Reputation: 125 with Keepers of Aideen

Well, you can’t say no!

alex

I’m so happy you said yes! Welcome to our little group. Before we continue the search for Justin and my other friends, Elizabeth wants you to practice your riding skills. You need to work seriously: get the best equipment there is, work to increase your reputation, race the tracks here in Silverglade in order to get as good results as you can possibly get.

I’ll find you when it’s time to continue this adventure. We will accomplish great things together, Rita, that I’m sure of. Because, you know, this is definitely not the end. I will contact you when you are ready for new adventures.

Quest completed

______________

quest-castle_cut_scene

The island of Jorvik, otherwise brimming with life and joy, now seems shadowed by a cloud of neverending problems.

The citizens and their beloved horses have already experienced a long and harsh winter during which the feeling of something dark reining over them grew ore and more intense.

What if that winter was only the beginning of a dark era?

Many questions remain unanswered. Will the G.E.D. succeed in fully exploiting Jorvik’s unique nature? What will happen when their drills reach the core of the island?

Does anybody really know what lies inside that core?

The druids on the island, the Keepers of Aideen, have started summoning their four riders to battle the evil organization Dark Core. An organization that has seemingly lured the innocent Justin Moorland to join them in their clandestine plans.

What is your role in all of this? It’s unknown, but it appears to be of importance. What you know is that Alex and Elizabeth want you to work hard on your riding skills, earn a good reputation and reach the top of the high score list. All to reach the goal of being the best rider you can be: a rider ready to meet whatever may come her way.

And so it begins…

Let’s see if the Baroness has made any progress with the serial numbers.

The Oil Drill Scandal

baroness

He was mad? Haha, I can imagine that. I wish I could have seen his face. I can hear the drilling has stopped. Well done girl, you have saved me a lot of trouble and maybe saved me a lot of money.

Quest completed

With that business completed, let’s go see what Alex has to say about what we’ve found in the old book.

Looking for Clues

Look, before we go to Firgrove to do any more research on this John Sandman, we should try to find out where Linda has gone. Maybe we can find some clues if we search the area.

Objectives: Search the environment for clues on Linda’s whereabouts.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

There are three clues to find, all located behind the stable; Linda’s glasses, cellphone, and a page from her book.

alex

This is so strange… Exactly; if Linda would have left willingly she hardly would have left her glasses and mobile phone behind. And what do you have there…? A book page? Oh, look – it’s from Peter Pan… Wait – that’s Linda’s favorite book!

Quest completed

______________

The Lead in the Phone

alex

I got the phone turned on. Let’s check the text messages… Ok, the latest one says: “Meet me behind the stable tonight at 7 pm and I will tell you the truth. Come alone.” Wasn’t it behind the stable you found Linda’s belongings?

There’s no name of the sender, but we could try calling this number and see who picks up. Will you do it? The phone is on the table next to you.

Objectives: Call the telephone number to see who it belongs to. The hone is on the table next to Alex.

Hurry to the butler!

Page Trail

alex

He left without answering your questions. This is getting stranger and stranger.

Objectives: Follow the trail of book pages.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

The trail starts behind the stable where you found the first book page.

When you’ve reached the end of the trail, return to Alex.

alex

I see, the trail ends at the castle. Is that where she is, then? In the castle? It makes no sense at all, if you ask me. What? Yeah, that’s right – there have been rumors about a girl crying in the tower. But could that actually be… you know… her?

Quest completed

______________

Cry to Me

alex

You know what, I need to run some errands, but here’s a really good recording machine. Why don’t you ride to the castle and wait until the crying starts – if it does, I mean – and try to get it on tape? Then we can listen to it together and decide whose voice it is.

The Baroness is actually still at the vineyard like Alex says. Go speak with her immediately!

Quest completed

Return to Alex tomorrow.

Looks like the Baroness isn’t going to budge. In the meantime let’s go make some new friends in Valedale.

The Valedale Stable

Checking the Riding Track

baroness

The race track? Oh, Godfrey told you about that. The work has been suspended for some time now, but you may well ride over there to see if it’s still there at all, or if perhaps the G.E.D. have turned that into an oil field too. It wouldn’t surprise me, honestly. If it’s there however, you should try it out and see if it’s working.

Objectives: Ride down to the manor’s race track.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Manor

The easiest way to get to the track is to cut through the oil fields, there’s a trail that leads directly to the race track.

Feeding the Birds

Donald the Tailor needs some help!

I Need More Wool!

donald

Rita! How are you? Now that you’re here, perhaps you could do me a favor. After this harsh winter I need to make a lot of warm jackets for people. You see, I’m out of wool at the moment, and as a tailor I depend on wool to make fabrics and thread to make clothes with. You should be able to get some more wool from the shepherd, Landon. Please run this errand for me, will you?

Objectives: Find the shepherd and ask him for some wool.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

The easiest way to get to the shepherd is to take the road north out of Silverglade Village, and after the large hill, take a right and he’s in the little field beyond.

landon

Well hello! What? You’ve come for wool? Oh, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you; I haven’t had time to shear the sheep yet. I’ve been too busy watching over them. I’m awfully afraid they’ll run away, you see, and that would be such a tragedy, don’t you think? I couldn’t stand losing another one of them.

How to Shave a Sheep

Wool for the Tailor

The castle was closed? Nobody answered the door? You know, lately there’ve been some rumors circling around about that place. Someone said they heard what sounded like a girl crying from inside the building. Frankly, I don’t know what to think. The Baroness has seemed… anxious, lately.

Bottles for the Butler

harold

If I have heard the crying? I can’t say I have. Actually, it kind of sounds like a silly ghost story to me. But hey, you could always ask the Baroness yourself when you see her.

The Baroness is the owner of the Silverglade Manor and the vineyards, you see. Her family, the Silverglades, run way back in history. They have been the most influential family in Jorvik since, I don’t know for how long, maybe hundreds of years.

Here are some wine bottle samples that the Baroness has requested. See if can deliver them to the butler, he should be at the winery. Ride carefully! The bottles are fragile.

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

Take the gate out of the north of Silverglade Village and follow the road to the west to get to the winery.

godfrey

Miss? Oh, the bottle samples, very good. Thank you. What? Yes, the winter has been hard indeed, for the manor as well. How the Baroness is? You heard that she was very busy – I see. Well, one could say that; she’s had a lot on her mind lately with the G.E.D. exploiting the land and all. She’s building a new race track as well, which of course takes a lot of time and effort. But I’ll see that she gets these. Certainly, miss. Good bye.

The Very Noble Stable

godfrey

Pardon? A stable? Why of course we have a stable here; the Silverglade Equestrian Center – the noblest stable in Jorvik, miss! You come from Moorland? Well, you should indeed pay a visit to the Equestrian Center; it houses some of the best performing horses on the island.

Why don’t you speak to Linda… hold on… what am I saying – not Linda! Ha, ha! Not Linda, miss. There are other stable girls over there, however. I think one of them is called Judy. Judy will be able to help you.

Objectives: Talk to Judy at the Silverglade Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Suspicious, at the very least. I’ll be back to you later Mr Godfrey…

Ride over to the stable and speak with Judy.

judy

Hi Rita! Of course I know who you are, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Judy by the way. I spoke to Thomas Moorland earlier and he told me that you and Summerblaze are really great together, like you truly bonded. That makes me happy since Summerblaze is the horse I used to ride when I first started out as a stable girl at Moorland. He’s a wonderful horse and deserves a rider that understands him.

Anyway, we’re short on people here since Linda went away. Thomas said that if you happened to come by, I could ask you if you would be willing to help out a bit here.

Help the Equestrian Center

judy

Have you met the Baroness yet? No, it doesn’t surprise me. She’s been acting almost hysterical lately – when you actually see her, that is. It seems like she’s spending more and more time inside the castle, God knows what she is doing.

Will you please help out the stables until Thomas needs you again?

Objectives: Talk to Judy at the Silverglade Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Tell Judy you can help out in the stables.

judy

Thank goodness you said yes! Ok, so what we need you to do is give the horses hay and water, groom them and muck out the boxes. You can do this whenever you feel there’s the need. You’ll find detailed information on the notice board in the yard. I will be around if you need anything, but I doubt that you will have any problems. You look like a smart girl.

Inspect the Water Pipes

judy

What we acutely need help with though, are the water pipes for the irrigation system in the fields. We just turned the water on and now the pipes are leaking. They must have broken down during the winter by the cold.

Do you think you could try to locate the leaks? Ride over there on Summerblaze, the terrain is a bit troublesome to walk on for you and me. When you find a leak, turn the knob and stop the water at that spot.

Objectives: Locate the eight leaks and turn eight knobs to stop the water.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Follow the orange highlights to the leaking pipes. All of the pipes are on the lower terrace of the vineyard, behind the stable.

judy

You found all the leaks? Fantastic! I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to have you here!

Quest completed

The next character that needs help is Carney. He is standing behind Judy next to the fence around the stable.

Testing the Soil

carney

So, I heard you were riding around and was hoping that I could ask you for a favor. The thing is, we’re doing some tests on the soil around the vineyards and the results should be ready now. Would you be so kind as to check them for me?

Objectives: Check the soil test instruments and report back to Carney.

Rewards: 22 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

The tests are in the very back fields and can most easily be reached by taking the trail next to the Manor to go behind it. There is a bridge over the little gully, and the tests are on the other side of the bridge.

When you have visited all three of the devices, return to Carney.

carney

Interesting. Very interesting. Thank you so much for helping me with this.

Grape Sprout

carney

And you know what; could you get me a sprout from one of the grapevines as well? We’ll perform tests on that too. Use these garden shears. I did send the girl Sonja for the sprout samples, but she couldn’t find any…

Objectives: Cut off a sprout from the grapevines and return to Carney.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

The sprout can be found on the lower terrace behind the stable.

Also, if you didn’t notice, the shears Carney gives you is actually a rake…

carney

That’s it. Thank you, Rita. You are of really good help.

Quest completed

Judy needs help again.

The Riding Plumber

judy

Here are some tools that you can use to fix the water leaks you found on the pipes.

Objectives: Use the tools to fix the water leaks.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 95 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Return to the same pipes that you turned off, and fix them with the plumbing kit.

judy

Ok, great. Let’s hope that the pipes stay together for a while. We’ve got other things to do, haven’t we?

Quest completed

______________

Report to the Baroness

judy

You did a great job on the pipes, Rita. The Baroness herself was here earlier and complained about the leaks – she will be absolutely thrilled over the fact that you fixed them.

You know what, you should go over to the castle and tell her. Then you’ll get a chance to introduce yourself. The Baroness is a really good person to know around here. If you’re ever in trouble she will be able to help you with almost anything. If you make a good impression on her, that is.

Objectives: Go to the Baroness and tell her that you fixed the leaks.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 40 with Silverglade Manor

Go north past the front of the Manor and the Baroness is on the other side, in front of the wall, beside a pile of grapes.

baroness

Hello there my dear, who might you be? Rita? Oh, you work in the stable, I see. I’m delighted to hear that the leaks are fixed and that you sent the grapevines to be analyzed, very good indeed. I’m afraid you’ll have to be off now, though since I have a lot of work to get to. I’m a little stressed out at the moment as you may be able to tell.

If you could help? Well, I’m sure you can’t help more than you already did, dear; these are some big issues I’m handling right now. I’m sure you’ve already heard about the construction company doing their best to destroy my land – “Global Energy Domination”, have you ever heard such a fatheaded, ridiculous name? They actually set up an OIL FIELD next to my vineyards. and our upcoming harvest will be as poor as ever. Oh my. I feel like a terrible evil has come to this island.

Quest completed

Return to the Baroness tomorrow.

After the Baroness’ little speech it’s time to go see another person. Follow the same trail you took to get the soil tests back next to the Manor and cross the little bridge to get to the Everwind Fields.

A Familiar Unhappy Face

mr_kembell

Well, well, well… What do we have here? So we meet up again… Well, to be honest with you I am not very happy to see you again. You really ruined my plans to bring down your little stable and build my houses there. Do you have any idea how much money I lost because of you!

Are you going to try to destroy more things for me now?

Objectives: Talk to Mr Kembell.

More Mr Kembell brand melodrama at its finest.

mr_kembell

This oil is mine and only mine! Nothing will stop me from drilling for oil here, not even you! So take your stupid horse and go away! I don’t want to see you ever again!
