Who Recognizes Valiant?

marley2

Howdy Rita!

I’ve not slept a wink, I just lay there thinking about Butterfly and the Baroness.

Yawn.

I’m sorry Rita, but nobody’s been in touch about Valiant yet. Could you go to Silverglade Village and ask around if anyone’s heard or seen anything?

Thanks!

Objectives: Ask around Silverglade Village if anyone recognizes Valiant.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride to Silverglade and use the photo of Valiant on any of the residents. They will all say that they don’t recognize the horse but direct you to Steve, as he knows a lot about horses. Visit Steve at his farm to see if he knows Valiant.

steve

Hey there! I recognize this horse! No idea what the poor thing is called, I don’t think he ever had a name, but I know his owner.

Quest completed

______________

Poor Horsey!

steve

I can’t remember what the owner’s name is, it’s been forever since I last saw him. Not a nice guy. If you can stay away from him, it’s best to do so.

How he looks?

Hmm…

Let me think a second…

Last time I saw him he was pretty well built and had a brown mustache, but that was years ago.

Sigh. You really shouldn’t go looking for that guy, he’s really evil and it wouldn’t surprise me if he beat and abused the poor horsey…

Where’s the horse now?

With Marley? Whew, that’s a relief. Then the poor thing can get the chance to recover. I recommend he stays with Marley or some place else nice if he’s ever going to feel good again. 

You should tell Marley this. The horse sounds like it’s in too bad condition to train…

Objective: Ride over and tell Marley what you found out.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Return to Marley and tell him what you learned from Steve.

marley2

Did Steve recognize Valiant? What could he tell you?

Quest completed

______________

Valiant the Packhorse

marley2

Oh…

The poor thing…

That didn’t sound too good. Poor old Valiant… I can’t believe people would do that! Gosh!

Hmm…

It’s not all strange that we can’t Valiant to jump or ride the barrel race, most things must frighten him… I wonder if he’s even ridden a jump track before?

We can’t send him back to whoever treated him like this, but I can’t know for sure if he’ll feel too good about living here with me, I’m not sure he’d enjoy dealing with all the visitors I get all the time. I’ll ask the Baroness if she’d like to have him at her yard instead.

…

Speaking of the Baroness… I need to talk to her today. Time to tell her about Butterfly…

Would you come with me Rita? I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it myself. 

Thanks so much! I have a few things that need taking up to the Winery, so it’s probably just as well to take them with us at the same time, so I get to skip riding back again later. Not sure if I’ll be able to look the Baroness in the eye after this. 

Can you help me load up the goods we’re taking onto Valiant. I’m way too nervous to do it myself. 

Objectives: Load up Valiant, then talk to Marley.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Pick up the crates near the house, then place them from your inventory onto Valiant’s back, then speak to Marley when Valiant is ready to go.

marley2

Wow! You managed to load up Valiant with all the stuff we’re taking with us without any trouble. I’m impressed! You’ve really done a great job with him.

Quest completed

______________

Towards the Winery with a Heavy Load

marley2

Right then, I guess it’s time. Time to ride to the Winery. Sigh.

I really don’t want to do this, but I’ve got no choice. I need to tell the Baroness, it’s no use trying to put it off any longer. Thanks for coming with me.

Would you be able to take the last bit of the delivery on your horse’s back?

Thanks! We can just drop everything off with Carney. I’ll ride ahead and see you at the Winery. 

Objectives: Take the shipment on Summerblaze to the Winery and leave it with Carney.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Pick up the second stack of crates and ride to the Winery. If you can, you can ride alongside Marley, but I got stuck and he left me behind. However you get there, meet Marley near his brother at the stable, and drop the crates nearby.

carney

Ah, you managed to get Marley here with you? Hmph, I never thought that coward would show his face up here after he lost the Baroness’ horse.

Quest completed

______________

What Can a Car Tell Us?

carney

Marley and I need to talk in private for a moment…

By the way, Mr Anwir is here now. You know, the guy who helped me with transporting Butterfly down to Marley just so he could go and lose him. That’s his car over there, the purple one. You were interested in talking to him, you said. Why not take the chance now, and you’ll see what an honorable guy he is.

You can check if he’s sitting in his car, otherwise you’ll have to wait until he gets back.

Objectives: Check if Mr Anwir is sitting in his car.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Investigate the purple car that is parked near the Manor building, facing towards the front gate.

self

Seems as though there’s nobody by the car and you decide to look in through the window. Wait, what’s that? Looks like a can of paint…? Horse papers in the back seat?! The horse on the papers seems a lot like Butterfly…

 

You wonder if you should open the car door, and just as you reach for the door handle, you hear footsteps behind you…

Quest completed

______________

Meet Mr Anwir

mr_anwir

And who do we have here, snooping around my car?

Oh I see, not snooping, eh? No of course, well we’ll stick to that story then, shall we?

Yes, that’s right, my colleague Carl and I took a horse from here down to Marley Summer’s yard.

Umm, what are you implying? That the horse was swapped? Who’d do something like that? You don’t think it’s just that Marley who’s dippy enough to have mixed up the horses himself? According to his brother, he’s as dizzy as the day is long, and would lose his own head if it wasn’t screwed on…

Haha, probably a little exaggeration but that’s what Carney says…

Sorry, but I can’t help you. I hope you find the horse soon, but now I’ve got to get back to work. Lots to do before our boat comes to fetch us this evening. 

Carl and I travel rather a lot. We usually set up camp down by the water, which is nice and practical, and plenty easy to get around. Easier to travel over water than over land if you ask me.

But yeah, anyway, good luck. I know it doesn’t help much, but here, take a few of these delicious clementines. Carl bough them even though I quite clearly asked for mandarins, the stupi– I mean, umm, they’re easy to mix up, I suppose. Haha. Ha.

Objectives: Talk to Mr Anwir.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP, 3 clementine oranges

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

There’s definitely something fishy about this guy…

mr_anwir

Here you go. Good luck with the horse.

Quest completed

______________

Time to Stop a Telling-Off

mr_anwir

Are you still here? I’m sorry that your horse has gone but I’ve already told you I don’t know anything about it.

Instead of hanging around here, you should check how things are going for your friend Marley, looks like he’s getting a proper telling-off over there. Carl and I have work to do.

Objectives: Talk to Marley.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride to Marley’s rescue. Poor man just can’t get a break.

marley2

Ugh. Carney’s really angry at me, and Valiant’s started acting out. I don’t know what the problem could be. Maybe he’s not too crazy about that purple car?

Quest completed

______________

Valiant’s Help

marley2

What’s up with Valiant? He was so relaxed earlier, but now he’s back to being as nervous as he was to begin with. Ever since I said hello to Carl or whatever his name is, the guy who helped Mr Anwir deliver Valiant…

What’s that? You think Carl is Valiant’s old owner? Hmm… The description Steve gave certainly fits…

Easy, Valiant, eeeeeasy boy… Shhh.

You saw black paint in the car?! And papers for a horse like Butterfly? Oh my… This isn’t good. We don’t have any proof though…

Eeeeeeasy Valiant!

Oh no! He’s bolted again!

Valiant! Come back! Oh gosh, he’s run off!

What does he want?

You think he wants to show us something?

Follow him quick Rita! I’ll try and keep Carly and Mr Anwir distracted while you’re gone. Hurry!

Objectives: Follow Valiant and be careful not to lose him.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Follow Valiant urgently, keep up with him and don’t lose sight of him. Find out what he wants to show you.

self

Valiant comes to a sudden stop. He seems to want to show you a particular place…

Quest completed

______________

Mr Anwir’s Camp

self

Valiant has led you to a camp, maybe it’s Mr Anwir and Carl’s?

You remember Mr Anwir said that he’d set up camp by the water. If you take a look around, you’ll surely find something that can help you connect Mr Anwir to the theft of Butterfly.

Objectives: Investigate Carl and Mr Anwir’s camp.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Take a look at the horse in the small paddock. Could this be what we were looking for…?

self

This horse looks familiar…

Quest completed

______________

Riding with a Warning

self

The color matches, the black markings match… Might this horse be Butterfly?

You feel along the horse’s back right leg, and just as you suspected, this really is the real Butterfly.

Butterfly goes up to Valiant right away and even though the horses have never met before, it seems as though they’re already best friends. 

Butterfly follows Valiant, who leads him back to Marley’s farmyard. You don’t need to worry about the horses anymore.

You’ve found enough evidence to connect Mr Anwir and Carl to the theft of Butterfly. Ride and warn Marley and Carney up at the Winery, before Mr Anwir and Carl can get away.

Objectives: Ride back to the Winery and warn Marley and Carney.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride as quick as you can back to the Winery to tell Marley and Carney what you’ve found at the camp.

marley2

What happened? And where’s Valiant?

WHAT?!

You found Butterfly? You need to tell Carney. I’m sure he’d never listen to me.

Quest completed

______________

Stop That Car! Stop! Thief!

carney

WHAT?! You mean Mr Anwir and Carl swapped Butterfly?

THIEVES!!

Grrr… And they wanted my brother to take the blame. Just wait ’til I get my hands on them!

Where are they now? They were just about to leave.

…

Over there! There by the car! Hurry Rita! We need to stop them!

Objectives: Follow Mr Anwir’s car.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Ride after Mr Anwir’s car and don’t lose sight of it. Follow it through the grape fields, through towards their camp and watch as Valiant runs in and makes the car swerve and crash into a tree.

mr_anwir

What on earth do you think you’re doing, squirt?

Quest completed

______________

Dangerous Liaison 

mr_anwir

Have you seen what you’ve done to my car? You’ll get it for this!

Grr…

What do you think you’re gonna do? I don’t see any police or anyone else around here… It’s just us… Us and your two stupid horses. What are they gonna do to help you, huh?

The horse we swapped out with Butterfly is totally worthless, we’ve never seen a worse horse. That loser is too cowardly and weak to be able to do a thing about anything. Your stupid horse doesn’t seem much better, haha!

I haven’t got time for little nobodies like you, you idiot. Carl, take care of this little pest and her dumb horses. I’d prefer not to have the cops after me just because some snot-nosed little girl pokes around in things that don’t concern her.

Objectives: Hope that help comes soon…

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Ugh, rude!! Once again, Valiant intervenes and comes to your rescue!

That Horse is Going to Eat Me!

I’m sorry! I’m sorry!! PLEASE get that scary horse away from me. I HATE horses! They’re shifty and unpredictable. If you don’t get him away from me, he’ll kill me! Aaaaah!!

Sniffle…

Please, I’m so, so sorry… That horse is going to eat me if you don’t get him away from me… Monster!

Sniffle…

Pull yourself together man, you’re pathetic…

Work your magic with Valiant to assure him that you have the situation under control.

self

You manage to calm Valiant down. He doesn’t seem happy to be reunited with his old owner. 

Quest completed

______________

Help’s Here

self

Valiant stares at Carl, his old owner. The fear he felt before has melted away, and all he can think about is protecting himself.

You can’t see where Mr Anwir got to, but Carl’s got no chance of escape. Valiant is watching him like a hawk.

Suddenly you hear both Marley and Carney shout behind you.

Objectives: Talk to Marley.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride up the hill to where Marley and Carney are standing, and explain to them what happened.

marley2

Rita! We followed after you as quickly as we could! How could you?

Quest completed

______________

The Rescue Arrives!

marley2

Are you okay Rita?

The police will be here any minute. They didn’t hurt you, did they?

Whew! What luck! I know that if anyone can deal with two crooks on their own, it’s you! And Valiant! He was so brave! You’ve really inspired him, Rita. You and Valiant really are the heroes of the hour!

Me and Carney can take over here. Could you ride to the Baroness and tell her that everything’s worked out alright? She’ll be very happy to hear you’ve not only saved Butterfly but also stopped the criminals!

Thanks so much for all your help Rita, you’ve truly saved the day!

Objectives: Talk to the Baroness.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Return to the Winery and tell the Baroness about everything that has happened.

baroness

Rita. Is everything well with you, child?

Carney and Marley raced off from here at full speed a short while ago. The only thing I understood was that you left ahead of them after those wretched men.

So you got the thieves, Rita?! Unbelievable!

When I gathered what had happened, I called the police right away while Carney and Marley hurried after you.

Quest completed

______________

One Captured, One Freed, One Big Thank You

baroness

Ugh… Who’d have thought I’d be a victim of a crime right here on my own property?!

I just spoke with Marley on the telephone. He says the police have arrested Carl, but that snake Mr Anwir has vanished without a trace. Mr Anwir and Carl planned to compete with Butterfly in races. Not that I know how they’d do it, unless they had a rider working with them…?

Anyway, enough about them. Marley told me about Valiant and we’ve decided that he can live here at my stables. I’m sure he’ll love it here with Butterfly.

All credit goes to you Rita! You saved Butterfly, and did all those wonderful things for Valiant!

Objectives: Talk to the Baroness.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP, Purple Winery Dress

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Another good deed done…

baroness

As a huge thank you for your help, I’d like to give you this dress. I hope you’ll like it.

Thank you ever so much!

Marley the Horse Trainer

baroness

Good day to you Rita, how lovely to see you again!

Thanks for asking, but sadly I’m a little troubled. My very best competition horse – Butterfly – has had an accident and picked up an injury on his back right leg. 

It’s all healed up now, thank goodness, but now he needs to build up his muscle strength so that the injury doesn’t come back.

This is why I’ve sent Butterfly to Marley Summers.

Did you know that Marley used to train horses once upon a time? If there’s anyone who can help Butterfly, it’s him.

The thing that’s bothering me the most is that poor old Butterfly’s never going to be able to compete again. You see, Butterfly really loves to compete, and if he can’t race anymore, I’m worried it’ll break his heart…

Can you ride to Marley’s farm and see how it’s going for Butterfly?

You’ll do it? Nice! Thanks!

Objectives: Talk to Marley at his farm southeast of the Winery.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride to Marley’s farm and inquire how Butterfly is doing.

marley2

Howdy Rita!

Has the Baroness sent you?

Quest completed

______________

Meet Butterfly

marley2

Yeehaw! Can you imagine that little old me got asked to train a champion?!

Carney, my sourpuss brother, thinks I’ll mess up somehow, as if that’s what usually happens?!

I’ll show that little punk – after a week with me, Butterly’s gonna be in better shape than ever!

Of course it’s true! I’ve trained loads of horses in my time, back in the day. Haha! So Butterfly’s no challenge for me!

You can tell the Baroness that Butterfly is feeling just fine. Or, actually… There is one thing… Ah, never mind, it’s nothing worth mentioning. Why don’t you go say hello to Butterfly, Rita, and get an idea for yourself? 

Objectives: Say hello to Butterfly.

Nice horsey?

marley2

Wooooooaaaaahhhh! Easy Butterfly! This is Rita, nobody to be afraid of!

Quest completed

______________

Nobody Ever Died from a Tiny Jump!

marley2

You saw what just happened! Do you agree that he seems a little… I’m not sure what word to use.

Nervous?

Yeah, exactly! Nervous is the right word.

I think it’s really strange that such a competitive racehorse should be nervous. Maybe it’s just all the new people and surroundings making him edgy? What do you think?

There’s another problem though… A big problem. I can’t get him to jump. He refuses point blank, but according to Carney, Butterfly is the best jumper in all of Silverglade.

I have an idea! Could you take a ride around the jump course with Summerblaze? Maybe then Butterfly’s competitive instinct will kick in? 

You will?

Yeehaw! Come on Rita, show us what you can do!

Objectives: Take a spin around Marley’s jump course.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 Horse XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride Marley’s jump course, then speak to him after to see if it got Butterfly’s attention.

marley2

Yeehaw! Nicely ridden Rita! Now it’s your turn, Butterfly.

You can do this big guy, I know you can!

Quest completed

______________

What Scares a Horse?

marley2

Easy, Butterfly, eeeasy…

Shhh shh shhhhhh…

There we go, good boy…. Good boy!

Hmm. Well Rita, that didn’t go so well.

I just don’t get it. Do you understand Rita? Any idea why he refuses to jump?

You think he’s scared of something?

Hmm… Wonder what that could’ve been? I mean, it’s just a regular old paddock. I suppose it won’t hurt to look a little further into it. Ride over and take a look and see if there’s anything odd by the jump in the paddock.

I’ll wait here with this poor fella and keep him calm. He’s still a bit shaky.

Objectives: Check out the paddock then report back to Marley.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Inspect the paddock around the jumps to see if you can find anything that is scaring Butterfly.

marley2

You didn’t find anything?

Quest completed

______________

Yeehaw! Barrel Race!

marley2

That’s got me goosed… If there’s nothing in the paddock, then what’s getting Butterfly to react like he did?

What do you reckon? Any ideas?

If we should try something else to get him going? What could you mean?

The barrel race? Yeah! Great idea! Maybe we get started a little hard on poor old Butterfly…

…

For safety’s sake, would you not do a quick lap first? That way, Butterfly’s going to see that it’s nothing to be worried about. 

Great! Go Rita! Yeehaw!

Objectives: Ride Marley’s barrel race.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 horse XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Let’s try out the barrel race instead…

marley2

Yeehaw! Nicely done, Rita!

What do you reckon then, Butterfly? Wanna show Marley what you can do, huh champ?

Quest completed

______________

Like the Wind!

marley2

Oh no! No, no, no!!

He’s bolted! If we don’t catch him quickly, he’ll be on the other side of Jorvik in no time!

How am I going to catch up to him? I can’t run after him, my fitness has never been top notch…

What? You’ll ride after him? Wow, thanks! But be careful, a spooked horse can be a dangerous horse. Try to calm him down first: that’s the only way to capture a frightened horse. 

Come on Rita! Ride! Ride!!

Objectives: Catch up to Butterfly.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

Run after Butterfly to calm him down. He runs in a circle just outside the jump paddock of Marley’s farm.

self

You managed to catch up to Butterfly and get him to stop. He seems totally terrified, so take it nice and easy with him so you don’t make things any worse.

Quest completed

______________

Side by Side, Back to the Yard…

self

You calm Butterfly down and he begins to move in the direction of Marley’s yard. For safety’s sake, it’s best if you ride alongside him, as he’s still very frightened. 

Objectives: Help Butterfly back to Marley.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Escort Butterfly back to Marley’s, stay close to him so that he continues moving in the direction of home. Speak to Marley when you have returned Butterfly.

Whew! That was close! Thanks for riding after Butterfly for me.

A Scared Horse to Examine

marley2

Wheeew!

What a relief!

I was really worried that we’d never see Butterfly again, not at those speeds! What could I have said to the Baroness, “yeah, sorry about your horse… Lost him, didn’t I?” Haha! No thanks, lucky you were here Rita!

Wonder what made Butterfly bolt like that?

You’re right, Rita, something’s not quite right, but I’ve no idea what it could be. Any ideas?

You want to examine Butterfly, you say?

Well I suppose that’d be okay, not that I know why you’d do that, or what you’re expecting to find…

Objectives: Examine Butterfly.

Dismount your horse and approach Butterfly to examine him for anything wrong.

self

This is weird…

Quest completed

______________

Who Would Paint a Horse?

self

Didn’t the Baroness say that Butterfly had injured his back right leg in an accident?

You feel along Butterfly’s back right leg. The muscles feel strong and not weakened at all like the Baroness said. Weird…

Apart from the leg, there’s something else a bit strange about Butterfly’s temperament. You carefully try to pet his nose so that he feels safe, which seems to work so you just stand and cozy up to him for a little while.

Suddenly, your attention turns to Butterfly’s markings. There seems to be something strange about the way they look. You reach out your hand and touch one of them…

You’re not totally sure, but that seems an awful lot like it could be… Black paint. Has someone painted over Butterfly’s markings? Who would paint a horse? And why?

You need to tell Marley right away.

Objectives: Report your findings to Marley.

marley2

What on earth?!

Quest completed

______________

Written Proof

marley2

You think the horse beside me isn’t the real Butterfly?!

…

That’s impossible… He came straight from the Baroness’ yard. Carney organized the transport himself, which is why this couldn’t be any other than the real Butterfly.

I’ve had my eye on him the entire time, it MUST be Butterfly.

I can’t believe it, Rita. I’m sorry but I just can’t accept it…

Of course!

Carney sent some of Butterfly’s papers to me. Where can I have put them?

They can help us get to the bottom of this. On the papers is all the information we’ll need to confirm whether or not this is Butterfly.

Now I just need to think!

I was out in the stable when the phone rang in the kitchen. Did I take the papers with me?

Rita, can you check over by the stable to see if the papers for Butterfly are there, and I’ll go check the kitchen? We need to find these papers, fast!

Objectives: Find Butterfly’s papers.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Search around Marley’s stable for the missing papers, then return to him when you have found them.

You found them? Were they by the stable?

A Forged Horse

marley2

Okay, now let’s see what it says here about Butterfly.

Mm-hmm… Back leg… Yeah… Right… Yup… Markings… A-ha…

You were right, there’s something not quite right here… According to the papers from Carney, Butterfly should have weakened muscles in his back right leg, and this horse certainly doesn’t. Something’s up with Butterfly’s black markings as well…

Hmm… This both feels and smells like paint…

What could this mean? How can this have happened? How can this possibly be the wrong horse, when he came here straight from the Winery?

I need to call the Baroness! Or, wait. What would I say to her? Oh gosh, help me think, Rita, who should I talk to?

Carney?

Of course, you’re right. Carney maybe knows something, he was the one who arranged the transport after all.

What are we going to do with this horse though? If it’s not Butterfly, then who is it?

You’re right. One thing at a time. The most important thing is that we talk to my brother and find out what he knows.

Can you ride to the Winery and talk to him?

Thanks! While you do that, I’ll see if I can find some kind of clue as to who this horse is, or where he comes from…

Objectives: Talk to Carney who works up at the Winery.

Clumsy Marley

carney

WHAT?!

Marley’s lost the Baroness’ horse?!

That dopey dummy! Grr… I knew this would happen. He can’t do anything, and it’s always me who has to clean up his mess. He always messes up, and it’s always me left with the blame… Grr… No. NO! This time he can sort this out himself.

You say it’s not his fault? No joke? Whose fault is it then? The man in the moon? 

How did that idiot manage to lose the Baroness’ horse? And, by the way, how do you know it’s not Butterfly?

No injury on the back leg, you say?

And no markings?

What could have happened? How am I supposed to know?! It’s that idiot Marley who’s mucked it all up.

There isn’t so much that COULD have happened. I should’ve driven Butterfly to Marley’s place yesterday, but I had too much to do so I got some help.

 Who helped me? It was Mr Anwir.

He and his friend were here picking up things they were going to take to Silverglade Village. They offered to take Butterfly with them since Marley’s farm is on the way there.

Mr Anwir’s a good guy, so if anyone’s messed everything up, it’s Marley and nobody else. If he can’t keeps track of a horse, then it’s his own fault. Asking whether Marley’s messed up is like asking where bears poop in the woods. It’s obvious. You can tell him that from me, because I’m not taking the fall for his mess. He can come here himself and tell the Baroness that he’s lost her best racehorse.

Why are you still here? I’m so angry right now… Ride and tell Marley that he’s useless and that it’s his responsibility to fix it.

Objectives: Tell Marley what Carney told you.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

You self-righteous bastard, so much for brotherly love…

Return to Marley with your sympathy.

marley2

Did you get hold of Carney? Did he have anything to tell you?

Quest completed

______________

What Should He Be Called?

marley2

Of course… Everything’s my fault according to that dimwit. Who else’s fault would it be? The man in the moon?

Sigh.

Well maybe he’s right… I should’ve had a closer eye on it all, I should’ve been more careful.

I need to think about this. The real Butterfly can’t have just gone up in smoke… And who’s this horse if it isn’t Butterfly?

Anyway, we can’t keep calling him Butterfly. We need a new name for him. Any ideas on what this guy should be called, Rita?

Objectives: Talk to Marley.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Come up with a good name for this new horse.

marley2

Valiant?

Well… Why not? Valiant it is.

Quest completed

______________

Who’s Valiant?

marley2

Valiant… I like it! Howdy Valiant!

Hmm… I should talk to the Baroness as soon as possible… Oohhh I just don’t think I can face up to it today. I’ve no idea what I would say…

You say it’s not my fault? That’s nice of you Rita, but Butterfly was and is my responsibility. My brother was right… I’ve mucked it all up. This is my responsibility.

I haven’t got time to feel sorry for myself though. I’ll need to sit down and have a good think about what I’m going to say to the Baroness. While I take care of this mess, would you help me find out where Valiant comes from?

If we put up ‘missing horse’ posters for him, perhaps we’ll get some info on where he’s from. Maybe even find out more about where the real Butterfly has got to.

I took a few pictures of Valiant while you were away talking to my brother. Would you be able to take these and make five posters we can put up around Silverglade?

Great, thanks!

There’s some paper you can use over by the picnic table just here.

Thanks for helping, Rita. I wouldn’t be able to do it on my own.

Objectives: Make five ‘missing horse’ posters asking if anyone knows Valiant, then talk to Marley.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse and use the marker to make the posters, then show Marley your finished work.

marley2

Oh, these are great! They should work nicely.

Quest completed

______________

Posting Posters in Silverglade

marley2

Will you take these posters and put them up in Silverglade Village?

Hopefully there’s someone who gets in touch about Valiant. If we’re lucky, we’ll also find something out about Butterfly.

Objectives: Put up the ‘missing horse’ posters in Silverglade Village

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride into Silverglade and place the posters up in places people will be able to easily see them, then return to Marley when all the posters have been put up.

marley2

You put them all up? Great! Hope someone gets in touch before long.

Quest completed

______________

The Way to a Horse’s Heart…

marley2

I feel bad for Valiant. He must’ve been through something terrible to have become that nervous and scared.

But he seems to trust you Rita. You seem to have a special way with horses. They seem to let you get closer to them in a way that not very many people manage, I mean just look at you and Summerblaze together.

Would you be able to help me with Valiant? I need to get to the bottom of this mess with Butterfly…

Thanks Rita! Whoever Valiant is, he needs to be able to trust humans again. He certainly doesn’t seem to trust me, so I guess it’s better that you train him.

The first step is getting to know one another. Would you be able to feed him? The way to a horse’s heart is through his stomach, or however the saying goes… Haha! Everyone likes good food anyway!

Hey, I just remembered I accidentally flipped a crate of apples over earlier today. I’ve had so much going on that I’d managed to forget to pick them all up. Could you gather them all back into their box so that they’re not just lying on the ground going rotten?

Great! We can give some of the apples to Valiant afterwards, I’m sure he’ll love them. He’s a horse after all, and all horses love an apple!

Objectives: Pick up the apples from the ground behind the house and give them back to Marley.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Quicker apple picker-upper

marley2

Oh! I didn’t realize there were that many apples!

Quest completed

______________

Not Tasting Great…

marley2

Oh my, this is far too many apples for a horse to eat! Not that I think Valiant would say no, but he can’t eat himself full on candy! That’ll mean he’ll lose his proper appetite for normal food later.

Let’s do it this way, so it’s fair. If you take these three apples and give them to Valiant, I’ll take the rest to the other horses so they get a treat as well.

Sounds good?

Great!

Objectives: Give the apples to Valiant then talk to Marley.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Dismount and feed the apples to Valiant to gain more of his trust. Speak to Marley when you have fed all the apples.

marley2

There you go! Valiant seems to like the apples! I knew he wouldn’t say no…

Quest completed

______________

Step by Step

marley2

Looks like Valiant is becoming more and more trusting towards you.

I don’t know if it’s too early, but I have an idea that I think is worth a try. Remember how badly it when Valiant was going to give the barrel race? I reckon you could get him to do it now.

You don’t need to look so worried, let me finish my idea… You’ve taught Valiant to take the apple from your hand. Use that trick to get him to follow you around the course. Once he goes all the way around, he’ll see that there’s nothing to worry about. 

Here, take a few sugar lumps and show Valiant the way around the barrel race course. I know you can do it Rita! Yeehaw!

Objectives: Bribe Valiant with sugar lumps to get him around the barrel race course, then speak with Marley.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

Ride near Valiant and give him a sugar lump when he stops. Lead him through the course, then return to Marley when you have completed the course.

marley2

Yeehaw! I’ve stood and watched the whole time, what a great job Rita! Wow! I think it’s time to start calling you Rita the horse whisperer!

Quest completed

______________

Well-Earned Grooming

marley2

Yeehaw! Unbelievable! How fantastic that you managed to get Valiant to follow you around the entire course! I can already see the difference in him. He’s much calmer and way less nervous than before, and it’s all thanks to you Rita.

Will you go and give him some nice grooming and scrape out his hooves as well? Here, take my hoof pick and my regular grooming brush. Valiant’s done a great job and deserves a little TLC! I’ sure he’d rather you do it than me. 

Objectives: Groom Valiant then talk to Marley.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse and approach Valiant to use the grooming tools. The sparkles are very close together, if you have trouble using the tools, click on the sparkles first and it will tell you which tool to use in that spot.

When you are finished grooming Valiant, speak to Marley.

marley2

Are you all done with the grooming now? Great! Now we’ll let Valiant rest a little while so that it’s not all to much for him at one time.

Quest completed

Return to Marley tomorrow.

Finished and Delivered

karl_franz

Good day, Rita. All the deliveries have been made, they’re over there.

Can you help me open them and check if everything is in order? I don’t dare look by myself. What if they only contain rubbish? Then everything will be ruined…

Okay. I won’t take the sorrows in advance. You’re right! Let’s just open those deliveries and take a look!

Later I can cry in desperation, but not now!

I’m ready, Rita! Open all crates and barrels!

Objectives: Open and inspect the deliveries.

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Open the boxes dropped around the water fountain, then return to Karl.

karl_franz

Okay, breathe. It doesn’t look half bad. The tables and chairs aren’t like I imagined, but they’re amazingly well-crafted. The cushions and table cloth… Not awesome, but I can live with it. The china and the decorations… 

I guess I can use some of the chinaware… I’ll ask the Baroness if I can borrow some things from her to decorate the restaurant.

Quest completed

______________

Let’s Take the Stairs Up to the Roof

karl_franz

Ah, what a lovely day! Finally everything is in place. Only the small details lack before we can open the Silver Fork Restaurant!

Rita, dearest. Follow me. We’re going up on the roof of the main building, where I will show you where the guests will be seated while enjoying my dishes. Just walk up the stairs behind me.

Hurry!

Quest completed

______________

The Guests Need Some Place to Sit

karl_franz

Could you assemble the tables and chairs for me, Rita? It’s a bit complicated, and I’m not very technical.

You can? I’m very impressed with your knowledge, Rita. This would never have worked if it wasn’t for you. Just grab the boxes with the tables and assemble them all around here.

Objectives: Assemble tables and chairs at the vineyard.

The only thing missing is placing out all cushions, table cloth, and other decorations, and the restaurant will look smashing! Can you help me, Rita? Thanks. Just place out everything around here somewhere.

Objectives: Place out cushions and table cloth in the vineyard restaurant.

The Last Piece of the Restaurant Puzzle

karl_franz

Magnificent, Rita! Everything is in order. We can open now, right? Lovely!

What? If I’ve forgotten something? Let’s see… My notes have not been in order since they blew away, but I think we’re good. What did you have in mind?

Food? What about food?

…

FOOD! Where’s the chef?! I’ve completely forgotten the chef! Aw, what am I to do, Rita? How am I going to find a chef here?! A chef who masters real continental cuisine?

Carney? Who’s that? He’s got a reputation as a good cook? I guess I don’t have a choice… Can you ask him? Thanks. Sigh. What’s the end of this…

Objectives: Ask Carney if he’d like to work as a chef in Karl Franz’s restaurant.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Take the stairs back down and speak to Carney near the stable.

carney

Chef? Why would I want to work as a chef?

Quest completed

______________

My Brother Might Want to Change Course in Life

carney

Yes, I’m fairly good at cooking, not the best in the family, but good enough to work at a restaurant. But I don’t cook to order, so to work as a chef? Bah! No way!

You should talk to my brother Barney. He might have gone tired working as a farmer.

Work as a cook… My father would spin in his grave. It’s only been eight years since he died, but if he saw me in a kitchen at a restaurant he would’ve died of a heart attack much sooner.

Barney might not be interested, but he can cook. Ask him if you’re set on finding a chef.

Bye.

Objectives: Ride and speak to Barney.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Ride to Barney by his silo and ask him if he would like to become a chef.

barney

Hi, Rita. What are you doing out here? Become a chef? Me?

Quest completed

______________

The Next Brother is Even Better At Cooking

barney

Sure I’m better than Carney at cooking, everyone says so. But becoming a chef is not something that interests me.

You should speak to my brother Marley. He’s even a better cook than me. He and our father always used to cook together back in the day. He lost interest in it fifteen years ago when our father died, but maybe he’s heard the call again?

Ride and speak to him. It’s worth a try.

Objectives: Ride and speak to Marley, brother of Barney and Carney.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Maybe this brother will take the offer?

marley

Hi there. If I want to become a chef?

Quest completed

______________

More Cooks in the Family?

marley

Sigh. No, cooking isn’t for me. It used to be my dream when I was younger, to work with food full time, but since my father died last year, I’ve completely lost interest. From time to time when I do make something, everyone tells me it tastes fantastic, but I’d never be happy working in a kitchen.

And you’ve asked Carney as well? Thought so. He’s probably the worst in our family at cooking though.

And Courtney, what did she say?

Who Courtney is? She’s the best cook in the family! Haven’t you asked her yet?

What?

Courtney! My sister of course! She lives over at Silverglade Village. She’s amazing in the kitchen and has always dreamed about becoming a chef.

Don’t just stand there! Ride to Silverglade Village and speak to her at once!

Later!

Objectives: Ride to Silverglade Village and locate Courtney, Marley’s sister.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Courtney’s house can be found up across the street from the well and the notary. Knock on her door to see if you can ask her about becoming a chef.

courtney

Oh, I think I’ gonna faint! What a cute horse! Teehee!

Quest completed

______________

Finally a Potential Chef

courtney

Work as a chef at a restaurant?

That sounds exciting! I have both talent and education for it. Everyone tells me my food is heavenly, it would be absolutely fabulous to be able to work with it full time.

So you’ll be running this restaurant? No?

Hmmmph!

Sending a helper instead of coming himself? Who is this person I’m supposed to work for?

Karl Franz of Silver Fork… He sounds exquisite, but apparently he has much to learn about etiquette and sense. Sending his helper to woo a fine lady like myself. Tell him I have my dignity to consider. I could never work for a buffoon like him.

Tell him that!

Ciao!

Why do you look so defeated? She didn’t want to? She thinks I’m a buffoon?!

Quest completed

______________

Charming Fine Ladies

karl_franz

Alright. Challenge accepted.

I need your help in this, Rita. When courting a fine lady, one always needs to bring a gift. This is very important!

Pick a bouquet containing the finest flowers from around here and give them to her alongside my utmost apologies. That’s proper greeting protocol, etiquette and all.

Objectives: Pick flowers and give them to Courtney in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Ride around the outside of the Manor property and pick several flowers, then deliver them to Courtney.

courtney

Oh, what a lovely bouquet! Thank you.

 But this isn’t enough… Is he clueless on how to court a lady?

Quest completed

______________

Unsuccessful Etiquette

courtney

I thought this Karl Franz was a gentleman, but he appears to just be a bluff. Flowers would have been correct at our first meeting, but since this is meeting number two and he’s already made a horrible etiquette blunder, this will simply not suffice.

Tell that buffoon that he’ll get one more chance, not a single one more. And this time I want something really good.

Ciao!

Objectives: Ride back to Karl Franz and tell him Courtney wants something nicer.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Somebody is a little full of themselves now, aren’t they?

karl_franz

It went well? No?!

She’s not content with flowers? She called it a horrible etiquette blunder?!

Quest completed

______________

A Gift That Says It All

karl_franz

Alright then. We’ll have to give her the finest give we have.

In the wine cellar there’s a bottle of Chateau Silverglade 1894. It’s extremely expensive and there’s only one bottle left in existence. The Baroness gave it to me as a present for my baptizing and it’s been safe and secure in her wine cellar my whole life.

Fetch that bottle. It’s the finest possession I own. The door to the cellar is at the far end of the vineyard.

Return to me after.

Objectives: Fetch the wine bottle in the vineyard cellar and return to Karl Franz.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

The bottle can be found in the first room at the bottom of the steps; the same room the G.E.D. Trainee accidentally drilled into, some time ago.

Pick up the bottle then return to the rooftop.

karl_franz

Careful! It’s very precious. It hurts my soul deeply to give it away, but it’s worth it to be able to open the restaurant.

Quest completed

______________

The Finest of Presents to the Pickiest of Women

karl_franz

Oh, I really don’t want to do this! But it’s more important to open my restaurant. Take the bottle. Be very careful as you carry it, give it to Courtney as a present. Tell her it was a present for my baptizing, how valuable it is, and how much it means to me. To give her this bottle is to give away part of my soul. That’s how much it means.

Ride now, Rita. We must make a hasty goodbye before I start crying.

Objectives: Give the wine to Courtney in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputations: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Maybe this will be enough to win her over?

courtney

A bottle of wine?

Quest completed

______________

Tell Franz It’s Not Enough

courtney

Chateau Silverglade 1894. The best of all vintages. I thought it was just a legend…

But no. I appreciate the  gesture, but you simply don’t give wine to a lady. Who does he think I am? You tell me it was the most precious thing he owned? Be that is as it may, but you don’t give wine to a lady on the third meet. Maybe the first, maybe the second, maybe the fourth. But on the third, there is only one correct gift, and that is chocolate! Everyone knows that!

So. Tell Karl Franz of the Silver Fork I thank him for his gift, but I have decided to decline his offer of employment. I can’t work for someone who doesn’t know anything about sense and etiquette.

Ciao, Rita!

Objectives: Ride back to Karl Franz with the bad news.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

I’m a lady and I don’t care what meeting it is. You can always give me wine…

How did it go, Rita? When will she come?

What?! She won’t?! I gave her a bottle of wine on the third meet and no chocolate? Noooooo!! How could I forget the simplest of all rules!

Quest completed

Correct Etiquette in Every Way

karl_franz

Alright. Let me ride and speak to this “lady.” Who does she think I am?!

I’m Karl Franz of Silver Fork! No one can behave this way towards me and get away with it!

Rita, meet me in Silverglade Village. Where is it, by the way? Ah. I see. I’ll meet you there!

Objectives: Meet Karl Franz in Silverglade Village.

I want half the restaurant, authority on what to put on the menu, flexible work hours, free health care, child care, shoe care, free coffee, my portrait on the restaurant sign, a new dress, corporate bonuses, and a company car.

Nothing more. Is that okay with you, Franzy-boy? Teehee.

______________

Place the Sign

courtney

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. This isn’t so bad. We’ll have to do a few conceptual changes to make it fit here in Silverglade, but I’ll take care of that.

Listen to me, Karl Franz. This menu… It doesn’t work. Quail, foie gras and fine cheeses may sell on the continent, but here in Silverglade you’ll need a different kind of dishes. I’ll rewrite the menu. Don’t worry, snookums. It’ll be perfect in the end, just you wait and see.

Karl Franz, dearest. I was sifting through the invoices and noticed a very expensive one from James in Fort Pinta. Fifty thousand Jorvik Shilling for a couple of plastic buckets and old junk? What were you thinking? Don’t worry, I’ll speak to him. I’ll show that petty rascal!

Rita. Quit dillydallying and help out a little. Here’s a sign with the new menu. Go over there and put it up. Then we can open.

Oh, if only my father could see me now. Restaurant owner. Little me! Sigh.

You’re sad? Whatever for? He’s what?! DEAD?!

Who told you that?

My brothers… They aren’t quite right in the head. My father’s alive, I spoke to him last week. Or… Was it last year…? Anyway, he’s not dead. In fact, he’s never been better! You can’t kill off Ronnie Bob Summers that easily!

Now place the sign so we can open!

Objectives: Place the sign and speak to Karl Franz.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Go back to the ground level and place the sign near the stairs. Then return to the rooftop.

karl_franz

Rita, dearest, thank you for all you’ve done. You’ll be our guest of honor any time you return! Now we open. I’m so happy! You found Courtney for me, this amazing woman, can you believe it?

I have to go to work. Apparently I’ve forgotten to hire a waiter, so Courtney told me I should do it for now. She’s sharp as a stick, that one. Oh, she’s wonderful…

The Silver Fork Opens Its Gates

courtney

Everything’s ready. Let’s open the restaurant.

Welcome to the Silver Fork Restaurant, Rita!

Thank you for everything. And, after all the discussions we’ve had about gifts, it would be highly inappropriate, if not even impolite, not to give you one as reward for your help.

Here. A perfect gift according to all rules of etiquette and protocol. As reward for pairing two sweethearts and helping realize someone’s dream, I hereby and according to tradition, present you with a diamond necklace!

Objectives: Speak to Courtney.

Rewards: 200 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP, Cafe Cap

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

Gasp! How dare you?! That is completely the wrong gift, what a horrible blunder to make!

courtney

Oh, wait. Forgive me, I’m turning all red here. That’s according to etiquette the gift for having helped someone carry a heavy bag on a Saturday!

Forgive me, how could I make such a mistake… Everyone knows this…

Here’s your gift! Of course you’ll get a cap for your help! A diamond necklace, forgive me again, I’m so ashamed. It would have been incredibly rude of me to give you a diamond necklace when you were supposed to have a cap.

Here you go!

You’re always welcome here Rita, you know that. Ciao!

Quest completed

You can now visit the Silver Fork whenever you want. It functions just like any of the other cafes on the island. Sit at a table and see what they have to offer!

I’m sorry. I should introduce myself. I am Bjorn, master gardener, artist, and renaissance man, at your service. Your horse must be the most beautiful horse to ever trod the green hills of Jorvik. I absolutely have to paint a portrait of your horse sometime!

Aha, and here beside me is Agnetha, my dear wonderful wife. Together we are a formidable gardening team with a brilliant vision, a sacred mission! We are going to restore the Winery gardens to their former glory.

Now I have a great idea! You should join us! No… I won’t take no for an answer. I can see it now… Bjorn, Agnetha, and Rita… In an article together in the Jorvik Gazette… “Together they accomplished the task of the century and restored the Eighth Wonder of the World – The Silverglade Gardens!”

This is going to be fantastic! Take these measuring sticks, or whatever they are called, and put them into the ground over there by the paddock. When that is done, my dear wife Agnetha can start working.

Objectives: Plan the measuring sticks around the garden beside the paddock.

A Careful Cleaning of the Land

agnetha

Wait.

Wait…

 BURRRRP!!!

Whoa… That really hit the spot! That was a great sandwich. Full of mayonnaise, shrimp, and all sorts of great stuff. What can I do for you now?

Whoa… Hold it right there. You don’t get to ride up her on your little pony and try to tell me how you should clear some land. I don’t think so. Listen to me now little girl. This requires the real thing!

Ride over to my old friend Barney and ask him to return the chainsaw I loaned him last year… That and a little dynamite I have under my bed should be just the thing to get this job done right in this little garden.

This is going to be perfect… Then my little darling man can put his little flowers just where he wants them.

Agnetha’s Chainsaw

This chainsaw wasn’t really of much use to me Rita. It is so big that it takes at least three men to even lift it off the ground. Taking it away on horseback shouldn’t be a problem though.

It’s about time, Rita. And here is the chainsaw we talked about, let’s have a look at it…

It is smaller than I remember, but… I guess it might work to clear the area with this little toothpick… But it might take a long time. 

Okay. Come back tomorrow, stand back and let a real woman do her job.

Plumbing in the Garden

agnetha

Ah ah aaa! That is close enough Rita. You don’t need to come any close than that on your little horse.

Ah yes. We will need to repair the pipes. You should know that here on this old broken farm the pipes are of the worst possible quality. They break all the time and I don’t have time to fix them all AND help Bjorn with everything he wants done. He is completely worthless with anything that resembles real work, just in case you haven’t figured that out yet. How are you with fixing things, sweetie? Are you as useless as Bjorn or are you ready to get dirty and get things done?

You can? I’m glad to hear it. We like your kind of person here.

Have a look at these things here. This is my plumbing work kit. Be careful with it as these things are expensive. Take the tools with you to the garden and repair those broken pipes and come back later. Don’t be lazy now. This is good old-fashioned work.

Objectives: Repair the pipes over by the Sun Garden.

The Big Secret

agnetha

Listen now, little Rita. The real secret behind this garden idea is a new invention, a super-fertilizer that I have discovered. It should get the flowers to grow and bloom in no time at all. You thought I was only good at running chainsaws and blowing things up, didn’t you? Well… You thought wrong. I have a good head on my shoulders, alright. 

When I worked over at Jorvik Stables, I used to muck the stalls, from morning to late at night, every day. I noticed everything grew very fast on the manure pile. I tested it by tossing a bundle of seeds on the pile one night and when I came back in the morning the pile was coated with tulips. So I asked Herman, the boss there, “Herman sweetie, it doesn’t make sense for this fertilizer to just be lying here, right? Why don’t I just buy it all for a cheap penny?” and he answered “Of course you can.” So now I have exclusive rights to the world’s best fertilizer, direct from Jorvik Stables, and we are going to use it to grow our flowers.

But anyways little Rita. I’m standing here and wasting valuable time we could be using to work instead. Here, take this sack of super-fertilizer and empty it in the Sun Garden. I know it doesn’t exactly smell like roses but you can use a clothespin on your nose.

Objectives: Spread the fertilizer out on the flower beds in the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Place the fertilizer on the indicated spots in the garden, the return to Agnetha when you are finished.

Well done Rita! Now we just have to wait and let the super-fertilizer do its work. Come back tomorrow and we’ll have a look at it.

Quest completed

Return to Agnetha tomorrow.

Not Only Flowers

agnetha

Listen up now. My patented super-fertilizer works too well. It isn’t only the flowers that grow quickly… But  the weeds too. We’ll we can’t have that, can we? Now it is time for you to roll up your sleeve and do some honest old-fashioned work. You are a little skinny to use my chainsaw… Don’t you eat enough breakfast?

Anyways, this is what we should do. Take these garden shears and clear out all the weeds in the Sun Garden. Don’t come back until all the weeds are gone. Get to it… Go on… Go.

Objectives: Get rid of the weeds in the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Rita, come over here for a second.

You… Well… This isn’t good.

You didn’t do a good job when you were repairing the pipes in the Sun Garden. Now they are spraying water all over the place again. We don’t like this kind of bad quality work here, little Rita. You’ll need to run down there and repair the pipes again… But do it properly this time. I’ve got my eye on you Rita.

Doesn’t that feel good Rita? Real honest hard work is like food for the soul… Like I always say to Bjorn.

Now we’ll wait and see what happens. One more night, Rita, and I’m sure we’ll see the flowers have bloomed.

Invasion in the Garden

agnetha

Hold on there, Rita. We have a serious situation here that I need to take care of.

You want to help?

That’s the right attitude, Rita! I can always count on you through thick and thin!

Listen up now. Some sneaky parasites have sneaked into the garden and are trying to steal the fruit of our labor. Those little biters are sneaky as can be and I haven’t managed to catch a single one of them. I am completely worn out… No matter how quick I am, they jump back down into their holes as soon as I get close. I think you need to sneak up on them… Maybe you could give it a try?

Good! Take this sack and stuff it with those little guys. You’ll need to sneak up on them to be able to catch them, remember that. 

Objectives: Catch the chipmunks in the garden. Sneak up on them from behind and catch them in the sack. Remember they are scared of you and your horse, so don’t put your horse too close to any of the holes.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

You have to approach the chipmunks from behind or from the side. If you approach from the front, they will jump into their hole. When you move away from the hole, they will jump back out, facing a different direction.

When you have caught all of the chipmunks, return to Agnetha.

agnetha

Well done, Rita! There are a lot of those little guys in the sack!

What should we do with these little parasites? I’d like to throw them off a cliff… But Bjorn would never agree to anything like that.

Agnetha? She is completely crazy, Rita! Are you sure you are going to work for her? Did you know she worked on my farm before? But it didn’t work out. Even on Sundays she was out there chopping wood and plowing the fields. I thought she would take some time off… But she never did, ever. She didn’t want me to rest either! I was afraid of going out of my house until it was dark. I had to let her go… It was just too stressful having her here.

But send my greetings to Bjorn and let him know the chipmunks are going to fit in well here. Bye bye, Rita!

Hello Rita! So our little chipmunks are going to have a good life over at Steve’s? That is great to hear. Agnetha can get a little fired up when she thinks people are not working hard enough… So she doesn’t get along well with Steve. I think it is a little sad… Steve and I have a lot in common…

But you, Rita. Now we need to work day and night to get these flowers to bloom! We can’t possibly manage it without your help, so please come here every day, take care of a couple things, and before you know it… It will be harvest time! I’m so excited about all of this, I just might pee myself!

A Vision for the Sun Garden

bjorn

Wait… I have a vision…

Yeeessss! That is how it should be! Think Rita, you are sitting and relaxing, surrounded by our beautiful flowers. What could be more relaxing than that? I’ll tell you! A little pool with bubbling fresh water!

As luck would have it, we already have a pool here but there are so many holes in it that I am afraid to fill it with water. If you can find stones for me, I can patch it. We can’t just use any old rocks… They need to be the exact right kind, otherwise it will look uncommonly awful… You understand, right?

The perfect stones are only at one place in all of Jorvik… Below the cliffs to the Winery. So it isn’t that far away… Pretty lucky right?!

Ride over there, close to the riding arena, and collect some of those perfect stones. Hurry!

But, what I wanted to say is that we must continue our work on restoring the garden, it is our duty! Let’s get started with the next part, the farm house. 

Ride over to the Baroness and tell her that it is time to proceed with the garden project, I will not accept no for an answer from her. It will not do, we must proceed with the garden, must, must, must, right away!!

Have they really restored the Sun Garden, Rita? And it looks good? A really good job, you say? I’m not really sure I can really believe what you are saying. I thought at most they would clear up the flower beds but it sounds like they have completely restored everything. Can they continue with the work of restoring the gardens, you ask? 

I don’t know, Rita. It is a big responsibility that requires experienced tradesmen. The vineyard has a long history and I won’t have hobby-builders destroying a part of that history with shoddy work.

For them to continue, I will need to see evidence of the quality of their work, Rita. Let’s do this, around here on the estate we have empty white flower pots that you have probably seen. If Bjorn and Agnetha plant some of their flowers in them, I will get a chance to see how they look. If I find that the flowers are of acceptable quality, then they can continue in their project.

When I asked her why, she told me I should stop whining and get a shovel to help. She also said the old raisins shouldn’t be lying around just collecting a pension! I really had no choice but to tell her she couldn’t work here anymore…

But you are pretty sensible Rita, take these shoots and ride back over to her and Bjorn. Maybe she has calmed down a bit recently…

Objectives: Ride back to Bjorn with the bush shoots.

Rider Bjorn

bjorn

Rita, sometimes you need to choose your path in life. It is important to do what makes you love if you are going to be happy. It is a bit of wisdom that I wanted to share with you.

So, it is now time for me to change paths. I am going to start riding! It looks like such amazing fun every time I see you and Summerblaze riding around here.

The garden? Which garden? Aha… Nah… Forget that Rita. That was ages ago… I’ve moved on. That was an earlier chapter in my life. Now I’m going to move on to something I’ve dreamed of for my whole life… Or at least since this morning… Riding!

I have spoken with Judy at the Equestrian Center, and she has promised to lend me a horse. Would you mind riding over there to get it for me, Rita?

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

A Horse for Bjorn

judy

It doesn’t sound like the best idea in the world Rita. Bjorn isn’t exactly what we would call… Responsible. But I can think he might be able to borrow old Brunte for a bit. Brunte is the kindest and calmest horse we have and if anything happens he will just make his way back here.

You don’t really need to put a lead on Brunte at all… Just go up to him and show him where he should go. He is standing over there by the stables.

Objectives: Escort Brunte to Bjorn.

The horse is standing in the stables behind you. Approach him and continue to stay close to him as he makes his way down to the garden. Speak with Bjorn when the horse is delivered.

bjorn

Wow… What a stately trot! His name is Brunte? That must be the most perfect horse name I have ever heard! A trot worthy of a king! Brunte, do you see me in front of you? You and I are going to be winners in all the championships here in Jorvik together, and later in the whole world!

I think Agnetha wanted to talk to you about something Rita. Now I have to go out and win all the races in the whole world! We’ll see you around!

…Now… Let’s see… How do I get up into the saddle? What are these bits of metal going up to Brunte’s mouth? Why do you have bits of metal on your feet…

Little Rita. Now Bjorn has lost interest… It happens every now and then. But don’t worry. He’ll be back on track soon, we’ll just have to help him a little. He was chattering about the last part of the garden… It should be full of roses. 

Now you should ride up to Valedale Village and collect some rose seeds. Just look under the rose bushes there and I’m sure you will find more than we need.

Aha… You think I am going to ride. Nah. Riding is out.Now it is gardening that matters! I don’t know how you can think riding is cool… Nothing personal, Rita… When you could be gardening instead!

Fantastic Rita! I can just see the Rose Garden as it will be… Anyone who sees our roses will never be able to appreciate the beauty of anything else… Anything else will seem ugly and boring… And the memory of our Rose Garden will be the only worthwhile experience on earth. It’s true Rita, tragic but true. I almost wish it wasn’t, but it is our sacred duty as gardeners to carry out.

I don’t know how I am going to be able to handle the wait for the roses Rita! Do you feel it too?

No? You are so funny Rita. I almost believe you. You know what? So that you have something else to think of… Maybe you would like to try my race track? A long time ago I was interested in riding… I was a fantastic rider and I won every single prize that there was to win on Jorvik. Then I built a race track. I don’t want to brag, but it is actually the best race in the whole world. What do you think, are you ready to test it?

I don’t want you to hurt yourself to keep your eyes on the trail and don’t be distracted by how fantastic it is. Good luck!

Bushes for the Winery

bjorn

Rita, while we wait for the roses to bloom, you can help me with something else. I know, everything outside of the roses feels completely unimportant right now, but this is another project that really needs to be done.

We have elevated the beauty of the Winery from the old shell it used to be to almost looking like it belongs close to our gardens. But the Winery needs extra help from us to not be completely overshadowed by our fantastic gardens.

Take these bushes and plant them around the mansion Rita, so that the people working up there don’t begin to weep uncontrollably because they have to work up there instead of here with us. 

Objectives: Plant bushes at the Winery.

That is exactly what we need for Agnetha’s Grove. How could I have not thought of that? Well… Now I AM thinking about it of course… So we need to build a fountain there. Why aren’t you saying anything Rita?

It doesn’t matter… We need to build a fountain right away!

They have a fountain up at the Manor. If they have one then they must have more! Ask Carney if they have an extra fountain they can lend us.

Fountain Building

bjorn

I don’t understand, Rita… How does this fit together… This thingy should attach to that whatchamacallit… Or should this attach to that there?

…

No! This is not going to work! My aesthetic senses are screaming! This manual is not only useless, it is also criminally ugly too!

Rita, I simply can’t look at this manual any longer without vomiting. You can put the fountain together instead. Do it in place in Agnetha’s Grove so I won’t have to look at it until it is finished. Don’t come back here until you are done, we can’t waste a single second until it is done! Hurry, hurry!

Back to Agnetha

conrad_marsdeen

Agnetha, I remember her. She worked for me as an apprentice…

Do you know her?

What do I think of her?

A fantastic person! A dependable rock of a human being. Like me, she worked day and night and never let anything get in the way of the work. I wanted her to remain here as my apprentice so I could teach her the art of blacksmithing and train her to be the best blacksmith Jorvik has ever seen.

But then that hideous Bjorn had carried her off with his talk of gardens and how together they would be famous gardeners. Agnetha would conquer the world, he said, and Agnetha feel for it all. She gave up everything she had to follow him and help him achieve his dreams.

It really was a terrible shame… She had so much potential… And it was all ruined by a ridiculous dreamer with nothing but air between his ears.

But… Love is like that. It can make the best of us do the worst things.

Now, here is an iron gate like you asked for. Let Agnetha know she is always welcome to come back and apprentice for me any time she likes.

Littering is a Terrible Crime

Rita, a master gardener’s work is never truly done. Have you ever been up to the old race track? You have? Have you seen that behind it there is a bunch of statues and littler? No? I don’t know how they got there but when I saw them, I felt a darkness in myself. Should these fantastic creations just lie here in the trash when they could be out bringing happiness to people who see them placed out around our gardens?

Then cam a vision, Rita, you understand? You know what we need to do? Can you picture it?

No? 

It doesn’t matter, we need to follow my vision. Bring the statues back from the old race track and I’ll explain my plan a bit better.

Why am I good for the job? What? Don’t you trust me? Are you calling me a liar?

…Okay… Okay… You seem nice, I know you didn’t mean that, I get it.

Okay. I’d be good for the job because I like stars, and if anyone tries to steal anything I’ll just throw them off the cliff… So Mario doesn’t have to worry about anyone taking his stuff. You get it? I really like planets and stars and stuff, so I would be perfect for the job.

Candidate number two looks really promising, I have to say. It is a young girl, but she seems very competent and mature in her letter. In her photo she looks like she couldn’t be more than sixteen… But that doesn’t mean she can’t take responsibility for her store, does it?

Her name is Julie and she lives in Firgrove, at any rate. Ride over there and interview her and see if she might be the right person to run my store.

Candidate from Firgrove

mrs_packard

I would be perfect for running the store at the Observatory! I am organized, mature, and good at climbing which would be useful if the gondola lift is ever out of service.

What have I worked with before? I was a mountain climber. I was the first person to climb to the top of the Garnok volcano in 1984, if you didn’t already know!

Mountain climbing and running a store are not really related? My dear… They are almost the exact same thing! Both require you to be prepared for anything and to never take your eye off the mountain!… Or the customer in the store anyways.

Ride over to Mario and let him know I would do a great job running his store.

A Table for the Balcony

In the rubbish, I actually found one thing I thought was worth keeping. My old dining room table that I brought with me from France. It would be sad to throw that away… So I came up with an idea!

There! Now you can run off and save Silverglade Village… So don’t just stand around doing nothing. It was you who was in a rush, my friend.

Oh… And good luck! Remember the Shadow Sucker needs to be emptied sometimes and neutralized. The Druid Avalon can probably handle that.

Do not get too close to them or they will chase you out of town.

When you have caught all of the Shadow Seekers, speak with the Councilman

council_man

Ha! I knew that you would save us! Now that we have gotten ride of the immediate threat from those horrible shadows that were frightening everyone. Now there is only those scary cracks left to deal with.

Whew! That was a close one. But now the village is free from those horrible Shadow Seekers at any rate That Shadow Sucker is really an amazing device. You can hear them inside that tube where they are held captive by the Light Spirit dust. Simply amazing!

What was I doing? Oh, that was just a little Lightning Circle protective magic… My Soul Rider power is… As you probably already know… Mostly from the Lightning Circle. But more on that later. Now we need to figure out to close off these cracks before they cause more damage or release more awful Shadow Seekers. The only one who can hep us with that would be Fripp… He should be able to tell us what we need to know.

You need to ride up to Fripp and ask for his advice. If there is anyone who can help us, it is him. I’ll stay here and keep an eye on the situation and do my best to prevent the cracks from releasing any more Shadow Seekers. 

Please hurry!

Oh, memories.. Pandoric cracks? By all the mild worlds. It has really shaken loose properly this time. 

We did really hope that the crack you closed in Goldenhills Valley was a one-time occurrence, but ack! It seems it was only the starting shot of something much worse. It seems this is the result of Dark Core’s malicious activities. They have clearly upset the already delicate balance between Pandoria and our known reality.

The so called Garnok-Effect has begun. May Aideen be with us…

Quest completed

______________

Lightning Circle

fripp

The Garnok-Effect needs to be slowed down! Otherwise we will not be able to stop it. But you can help us with the immediate threat and stall the Garnok-Effect.

To close off the Pandoric cracks in Silverglade Village, you will need to use the magical powers of the Lightning Circle. Are you ready to learn about the Lightning Circle. 

Objectives: Listen to Fripp speak about the Lightning Circle.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Fripp will tell you more about this new faction.

fripp

Listen to me, Rita.

The Lightning protects against sickness, witchcraft, and malevolent magic. Through harvesting the power of the Lightning you can defend yourself against magic used against you. For a Soul Rider, the Lightning power has two main categories, a defensive kind used to ward off evil magic and a secondly strong offensive attack called “Soul Strike.” The Lightning Circle is the traditional path of a warrior. With strong power comes great responsibility. The Lightning Circle demands great wisdom and forethought from its members.

The druids know that you are very unique in that you have mastered powers from all four circles, even if you are not fully aware of them yet. Now I will teach you how to use the power of the Lightning Circle to close the Pandoric cracks to save Silverglade Village.

As you train with the powers of the Lightning Circle, you will become more effective and experienced with using those powers.

Quest completed

______________

An Exercise in Lightning Circle Magic

fripp

The exercise you will perform is similar to what you will need to do to close the cracks in Silverglade Village. A kind of simulation, if you like.

I’m going to open a weakened version of a crack between our reality and Pandoria. This is not something that should be done lightly. This is what you will need to do:

Get off your horse.

Stand close to the pink glow and neutralize the magical defenses of the crack using the Shadow Sucker. That machine is perfect for this job.

After neutralizing the defenses, watch for blue star shaped sparks. They can be hard to see in the pink glow… So watch carefully. Use your inner Lightning Circle powers to absorb the blue star sparks.

Every time you succeed in absorbing a blue start spark, the crack loses some of its power. When it runs out of power, the crack will close and the portal will disappear. If you fail to absorb enough sparks the defenses of the crack will recharge, and when it regains full power, you might never be able to close it again…

Objectives: Use the Shadow Sucker on the Pandoric portal. Absorb the blue star sparks until the crack energy is depleted and the portal closes.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 50 with The Lightning Circle

Dismount your horse and approach the Pandoric rift. Use the Shadow Sucker on the rift and you will automatically open the portal to be able to absorb the sparks. Click on the stars quickly before they dissolve. If you do not click on them in time, they will add even more power to the rift. If the bar fills up, you will have to start over again with the Shadow Sucker. Continue to work the portal until the bar empties and the rift closes.

Speak with Fripp when you have closed the rift.

fripp

Look at that! You really can harness the power of the Lightning Circle! You really are an extraordinary talent. You never disappoint us. Elizabeth was really right about you.

The more you train in the powers of the Lightning Circle, the easier it will be easier for you to succeed in closing the cracks between our worlds.

Quest completed

______________

Discussion with Avalon

fripp

So that the Shadow Sucker can manage to draw off the defensive magic of the Pandoric portals, Avalon will need to help you strengthen the power of the Shadow Sucker. He should be able to do this by using the magic of the Shadow Seekers that you already sucked up into the machine in Silverglade.

Go off to Avalon in Valedale Village and tell him everything so that he can help you.

Objectives: Speak with Avalon in Valedale Village and ask him to increase the power of the Shadow Sucker.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

But you have a plan! I will help you by improving the Shadow Sucker.

Quest completed

______________

Save Silverglade

faceless_druid

Using the strength of the captured Shadow Seekers, I have strengthened that device so you should be able to use it to close down all the cracks in Silverglade, and maybe more. If you use it a lot, you might have to come back to me to empty and neutralize the Shadow Sucker again.

Now ride off to Silverglade Village and close down all those cracks with your new Lightning Circle powers!

Don’t forget! First weaken the crack’s defenses with the Shadow Sucker, then neutralize the blue remains with your abilities until you have absorbed all the energy which will force it to close. Understand?

Good luck!

Objectives: Ride to Silverglade Village. Weaken the defensive magic of the portals with the Shadow Sucker. Close them with the help of the magic of the Lightning Circle.

Rewards: 260 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

When you get to Silverglade Village, close each of the rifts using the same process you used with Fripp.

“Silverglade Village is saved this time! Without you and Alex working together, this could have had a horrible ending. This otherwise quiet town has now been made well aware that a strange power threatens them, and perhaps even the entire population of the island is threatened.

But there are still so many questions. Is this only the beginning of Garnok’s awakening? Are you and the Keepers of Aideen going to be able to protect the island from Garnok and the evil activities of Dark Core in the future? Whatever is happening is Jorvik, you are definitely going to play a central part in our history.

Today you have proved again that you are a true hero and the fate of Jorvik is in your hands.”

What you did here today was very important. We will remember this for a long time. But the danger is not over yet. I am afraid that this is only the beginning.

Dark Core has really increased the Garnok-Effect. Their activities seem to have acted as a catalyst that has increased the chaotic power of Garnok. This is very important. I have already seen indications that more cracks have appeared in other places around Silverglade. 

They have discovered another large crack at the Winery and another out on Everwind Field. I think we can almost see the pink light shining to the sky from here.

Go and investigate the new cracks and close them if you can. I will clean up the last ones here in the village and restore order. I’ll follow you later if you need any help.

Quest completed

Close the two rifts, then report to Alex in Silverglade Village.

Pandoric Activity on Everwind Field

The dangerous crack shines with the energy of Pandoric magic that seeps out into our reality while at the same time, bit by bit, it sucks in our reality to another magical world, quite like a flowing drain.

Now we need to help in keeping watch after new cracks. They can come at any time, and believe me, there are going to be more. I’ll be helping to close the ones that I can.

Are you ready to help me protect Jorvik from the Pandoric Garnok threat?

Each crack you close will give you reputation with the Lightning Circle faction, which will be needed in the future.

alex

There, Rita. We have an important assignment. As Keepers of Aideen, it is our duty to protect Jorvik from going under and vanishing into the Pandorian pink fog.

From now on we need to keep watch. Every day we need to be prepared.

The easiest thing to do is to ride up the mountain and look out over the lands, I think. The pink glow can be seen from a long way away. In the evening, at night, and the early morning will be the best times to see them. Be well informed. Other people can find the cracks and let you know where they might show up.

May the light of Aideen shine over us all in these troubled, pink-glowing times…

An End to the Pink…

alex

Well done, Rita! We have managed to calm the wrath of Garnok a little bit. Thanks to your enormous effort, hopefully there will be no more cracks for a good while into the future. The Pandorian imbalance is now smaller after we have fought so valiantly against it. 

Finally it is time for a little rest, but the danger is far from over right now. Any moment now Dark Core could do something malicious again to disturb the imbalance again, if they haven’t already…

I think it would be best if we tell the Keepers of Aideen that we suspect that Katja has managed to push back into our world. Our suspicion is based solely on James’s nightmares, which might be a coincidence but is far too serious for us to ignore.

Ride over to Elizabeth and tell her about our suspicions.

Objectives: Ride to Elizabeth in Valedale and tell her we suspect Katja has returned.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to Valedale and speak with Elizabeth.

elizabeth_sunbeam

Katja? That sounds terrible… We really want nothing to do with her. If she is, as I understand, truly back in this world and has become Dark Core’s fourth Dark Rider, it is a complete catastrophe for us. We need to execute a return visit to the headquarters of Dark Core to find out more and see if Katja really has returned.

Quest completed

______________

Preparations for the Return

elizabeth_sunbeam

The time has come to return to Dark Core’s headquarters and find out what is really happening there now.

Can we find out if Mr Sands really has the Lost Light Ceremony Book in his possession? We really need to know if he has brought Katja back to this world to become the fourth Dark Rider for Dark Core. Can we also find out if Justin has joined Dark Core of his own free will… Or if he was forced in some way?

If Justin has been forced into this somehow… Maybe there is a way we can help him escape…

There are definitely questions we need an answer to. This assignment is very dangerous, but you have been there before and did very well, so I am confident that you are the best of all of us for this mission.

Judging by your fantastic results in your druid training, I think you are truly ready for this.

Do you feel ready?

Objectives: Let Elizabeth know you are ready for the mission.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Tell Elizabeth if you are ready for this mission, all dangers accepted.

Stop Over at the Winery

elizabeth_sunbeam

I have already spoken with Captain Brus and he will arrange transportation to the Dark Core headquarters. He would like you to stop at the Winery and collect some diesel fuel for him on the way to Cape West Fishing Village.

He needs the fuel for the boat trip to the Dark Core headquarters. You will be riding past the Winery anyways on your way to Cape West Fishing Village. Can you collect a fuel barrel for him there?

Good luck Rita! Be careful! May the light of Aideen protect you.

Objectives: Stop at the Winery and ask Carney about a barrel of diesel fuel for Captain Brus.

Where is My Helmsman?

captain_brus

But arr! My helmsman should be here… He knows that he needs to help with driving you. We’ll just have to wait until tomorrow and hope that he shows up.

Your mission is urgent, you say? We don’t have time to wait? Hrmmm… Okay.

I wonder where he could be?

What is that that strikes my northern eye? What in all the sunburned salty souls?? I think I can see him in his boat by the village west beach. There, beyond the red house, you see? Arr! Ride over to him and ask him what he thinks he is doing.

Objectives: Speak with the helmsman who is driving around in his boat by the north beach outside Cape West Fishing Village.

Hello! Yes, I know I am supposed to transport you out to the Dark Core secret headquarters… But something important came up in between and I was hoping to fit it in before we were supposed to leave.

Quest completed

______________

Helmsman’s Dilemma 

sailor

Okay. You need to understand. I have a wonderful wife that I miss every day that I am away. She needs to take care of our farm all by herself while I am out working as a helmsman. We almost never manage to find the time to see each other. So we communicate in bottles. A free and dependable message system… Completely free of stamps and wires!

But today I haven’t been able to find a message from her. It always washes up here along the beach somewhere. I had hoped to find the message before we left. Maybe you can help me find the bottle here along the western beach? I’m worried the bottle has ended up somewhere where it might be hard to find.

Objectives: Look along the beach for the bottle from the helmsman’s wife and give the bottle to him.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with The Goldenleaves

Search the beach for the lost bottle and when you have found it, return to the helmsman.

Thank you Rita! Now that I have heard from her, I feel good again. I can stop worrying about her and can concentrate on helping you.

Message in a Bottle

sailor

Can you help me with one more thing? I need more bottles for our frequent messages to each other. I collect bottles here in Cape West. People seem to just throw them everywhere so I think you could get a dozen for me without any trouble at all. While I am filling the boat up to get ready for our trip, could you go collect the bottles? I’ll be beside Captain Brus when you are done. We’ll see you when you have found a dozen bottles, okay?

Objectives: Search for a dozen empty bottles in Cape West Fishing Village and give them to the helmsman by Captain Brus.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with The Goldenleaves

Search Cape West for twelve bottles and when you have found enough, find the helmsman moored along Longbridge, near Captain Brus.

What great bottles! These are perfect for sending messages! Thank you for your help. While you were gone I have filled up the boat, read the message about my wife’s daily life at home, and now I am ready for our voyage.

Where Are They?

So you helped the helmsman sort out a little problem? Alright then, that was good. But now it is time for you to go out on the boat.

As you sneak be sure to watch the guards and their movements and time yours so that you don’t get caught. If your path has to cross with a guard’s path, make sure that you are hiding before he sees you. Take your time navigating the oil rig and make sure you don’t get caught. 

There seem to be people on the helicopter landing pad over there! It looks like they have some kind of strange portal out there. I can’t see it very well from here…

mr_sands

My friends. My Dark Riders! You don’t know how much pleasure it gives me to see you all gathered here and now… The time is near when we will start our great work. The Not-So-Lost Light Ceremony Book has revealed to me the exact time and place where we will strike. Our time is soon upon us.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

dark_justin

Hehe. Well done, Grandfather! Soon the world will be in our hands! Well done!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mr_sands

Our latest addition, Katja, has recovered from her… “Trip” here to us and no longer needs to rest in the light from the Dark Portal to regain her lost strength. Finally she can move freely among us.

katja

At your service! Thank you for bringing me here… I am happy to become your fourth Dark Rider. It is a great honor. You will never understand what an honor it is…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

mr_sands

Good! Soon we will have control over the Pandoric energy that is the key to limitless power, beyond human understanding. This is thanks to our thorough research and preparations.

When we perform the dark ceremony, the power will be in our hands!

Nothing will be able to stop us!

When the time is right, you will all know what to do, you will all have your part to play. Now we will bide our time and celebrate our upcoming triumph with a little celebration. I have prepared a banquet in the main building.

Let us celebrate with some lasagna!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

dark_justin

Hurray! Lasagna! Did you hear that girls! Lasagna!

Justin’s Story

dark_justin

You think I am here against my will? You know what? I am absolutely here by my own choice. Mr Sands is my grandfather and I will be there for him when he needs me. Together we are going to rule the world. That thing people call “Garnok” is a Pandoric power that bubbles beneath the surface of Jorvik and is just waiting to be released and tamed by us. Soon we will control that Pandoric energy as easily as you control your horse. Do you get it now?

Objectives: Speak with Justin.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Keepers of Aideen

Well, that answers that question…

dark_justin

How are we going to tame the Pandoric forces? Ha ha ha! You don’t know very much do you, little girl. The Lost Light Ceremony Book is not lost as some people would like to believe. My grandfather, Mr Sands, has found it and knows exactly how we are going to perform the light ceremony that will release the power and will give Dark Core unlimited power! Ha ha ha! It is going to be an amazing new ere, one of power and respect! You should join us, Rita.

An Unkind Farewell

dark_justin

Why am I telling you all this? The first time I met you, I thought you were decent enough, and I still think so, even if you have been a little nosy and you are hanging out with those weird druids. It doesn’t matter if you know this or not. Now that our group of Dark Riders is complete there is nobody who can stop us. We know that the druids have no idea that Lisa is defenseless and lost in the Grey Mountains… And that Anne is… No. I’m not going to say any more. But it really doesn’t matter, you and your druids have no hope in stopping us now anyways!

You want to know if I’m going to let you go?

Objectives: Speak with Justin.

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Pretty please, with a cherry on top??

dark_justin

Yes. I am going to let you go, on the condition that you leave right away and stop snooping around here. Just like I told you to get out of here the last time you were snooping around. I’m not just letting you go because I like you. Your bravery is something that should be admired and rewarded. If you had been anyone else I would have seen to it that Mr Sands would imprison you here forever.

To Leave Dark Core

dark_justin

So. See you Rita! Get out of here before someone else sees you or I change my mind. I’m going to go have some lasagna. You can find a shortcut to the lower platform through that pipe over there just before the steps that lead upstairs to the main building. Take the shortcut and nobody will see you. The others here are not as kind as me.

Goodbye and we won’t see you later. Maybe you might come crawling back here one day when Dark Core is a world power. Who knows? I’ll put in a good word for you then. Ha ha ha! Goodbye!

Objectives: Go back to the helmsman without being discovered. Take the shortcut through the pipe that is beside the stairs leading up the main building.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

The shortcut is along top the pipe, not through it.

Go around the fence next to the stairs and drop down on top of the pipe. Run along top of it until you get down to the helmsman.

There you are! Summerblaze and I were beginning to worry about you.

Return to Jorvik and speak with Captain Brus

Report Back to Elizabeth

Quest completed

______________

Summing It Up

elizabeth_sunbeam

If I’m going to summarize what you have just told me…

One. They are not a complete group of Dark Riders with Katja that they have brought though a mystic portal of some kind…

Two. Justin seems to be there of his own free will and probably can’t be convinced to disappoint his evil grandfather.

Three. It is also true that Mr Sands is in possession of the Lost Light Ceremony Book.

Four. They have somehow disarmed Lisa and she is hidden somewhere in the Grey Mountains rocky ranges.

Five. They are going to do the Light Ceremony to free the Pandorian power and then somehow they are going to control it and use that power to take over the world… And through the book they know how they are going to do it.

Objectives: Speak with Elizabeth.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Yep, that does about sum it up.

But you forgot about the part about how Justin is so excited by eating lasagna. Maybe we could use that to lure him away from Dark Core?

elizabeth_sunbeam

Catastrophe! We need to act against Dark Core and stop them! The worst part isn’t that they are planning world domination… The worst thing is that Jorvik – and possibly the whole world – will be destroyed if they try and release that Pandoric power.

Quest completed

______________

Plan Counter Measures

elizabeth_sunbeam

We stand on the brink of a new era. We don’t know where or when they will perform their dark ceremony. But they must have ferreted out how to do it from the Lost Light Ceremony Book. The Keepers of Aideen have secret copies of the most important chapters of the book, so we aren’t completely without hope… Through studying the copied chapters carefully we might be able to figure out how it is going to happen… Exactly as Dark Core has done.

The copies are divided in four and are, to be safe, spread out with four of our druids. We need to bring the four copies together for study. At the same time we need to have four Soul Riders ready who can stop them when the time comes.

More preparations are required…

Objectives: Speak with Elizabeth.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Now is the time to begin to act…

elizabeth_sunbeam

We need to ask everyone who is loyal to us to keep their eyes open for our enemies so we can improvise a defense if we suspect they are about to perform their dark ceremony before we are fully prepared to strike back. We also know where they are right now and it would help to keep watch over their oil platform.

Nightmares from the Past

Hello Rita. I am completely worn out after many long, sleepless nights. Can you believe it? What? No. It isn’t because I have been playing video games all night. It is something else…

I think the dream is about something in my past. But what could it be?

Can Dreams Be Read?

Can someone really read another person’s dreams? Then it might be possible to find out what is scaring me. Hmm…

Mrs Holdsworth? You think she might have some tips for us? Maybe. The old lady is clever. Could you ask her? I don’t really feel up to the trip myself at the moment… I am completely destroyed. You already have a good relationship with her, right? If you bring it up with her then it might not be so expensive for me…

Anyways, there are a few pieces we have no choice but to replace if we are going to be able to drive it. I’ll need your help to get some diesel fuel and a tractor driving permit.

Quest completed

______________

Apply for Tractor Driving Permit

old_man_jasper

Ride over to the city Council Man with the application for tractor insurance that I have already filled in. I downloaded the application from the internet and printed it out on my old printer… It was amazing it still worked. Have you heard of the internet? It is just a fad… And I don’t think it will become common for people to use it.. Trust me. Now pumpkin farming… THAT is going to become very popular… Trust me!

The city Council Man can surely grant me a temporary permit for now.

Hurry back Rita!

Objectives: Take the filled in application to the city Council Man in Silverglade.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Ride to Silverglade Village and speak with the Council Man there.

Heya Rita! How is it going in the rest of Goldenhills Valley?

Quest completed

______________

Traffic Permit for Jasper!

council_man

There you are!

Of course I can give a traffic permit to Jasper. I’m glad to hear he is happy with his pumpkins and is moving on with his life. That is great to hear.

Here you go. Here is the traffic permit for Jasper’s tractor so he can use it on the roads again.

Objectives: Give the completed documents to Jasper in Eastglade in Goldenhills Valley.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation 20 with The Goldenleaves

Ride back to Jasper with his new permit.

old_man_jasper

Well done Rita!

Quest completed

______________

No Diesel, No Go

old_man_jasper

No diesel, no go. Unfortunate, but true. Without diesel, the tractor is just going to sit here with the pumpkins. Can you see if you can buy some diesel from the Baroness at the Winery?

Objectives: Ask the Baroness at the Winery is Jasper can buy some diesel from her.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Ride to the Winery and speak with the Baroness.

baroness

Good day Rita! So nice to see you again, my friend. Aha, that grumpy Jasper wants to buy some diesel from me?

Quest completed

______________

Free Diesel for Jasper

baroness

Really? You say that Jasper isn’t angry and bitter anymore? Hmm… We’ll see how long that lasts… Jasper has bitterness in his bones. Anyways, that old grump is the grandfather of my grandson Justin. And if I can help Justin by helping his grandfather, then you can have as much diesel as you want for free. That is the least I can do for you.

Speak with Carney by the stables; he’ll make sure you get the diesel you need.

Objectives: Speak with Carney beside the Riding Center barn at the Winery.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Carney will help you get the diesel.

carney

Give away diesel? For FREE? Oh well, the Baroness gets to decide. It is she who pays for it anyways…

Quest completed

______________

Diesel Delivery

carney

Here Rita. Take this fuel can and fill it with diesel from the tank over there. Then you can ride back to Jasper with it!

Objectives: Fill the can with diesel from the tank beside the Riding Center barn, then deliver it to Jasper in Eastglade.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

The tank is across from the bulletin board, behind the stone wall of the grape field. Fill up the container and then take it back to Jasper.

old_man_jasper

What a surprise! That was really nice of the Baroness. She is a very nice lady… And stylish and elegant. I wonder if I should invite her for tea and pumpkin pie someday… Anyways… Now we should fill up the tractor!

Quest completed

______________

Look Everywhere, We Need to Find It!

old_man_jasper

Uh oh… We have a problem. I can’t find the key to the tractor. I must have put it down somewhere here on the farm. Can you help me look for it? Here, I’ll mark the places I haven’t looked yet on your map. While you check there, I’ll keep looking!

Objectives: Search all the places Jasper has marked on your minimap.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldeleaves

Search the several places around the farm, then return to Jasper.

old_man_jasper

You didn’t find them either? This is really frustrating. Let me think a little…

Quest completed

Return to Jasper tomorrow.

Now let’s go see if Ewa is ready to let you try the new racing track.

Prove Yourself!

ewa

Before I let you use the competition track I just want to make sure you can handle such difficult riding. It’s nothing personal, just that everyone has to show they can handle it in the paddock first. It is just a simple safety procedure. Your reputation as a great rider got here before you… So this really is just a formality.

Objectives: Show Ewa you can manage the course in the paddock.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 40 with The Goldenleaves

Run the simple course in the paddock, then speak to Ewa when you are done.

ewa

There was never any doubt you would manage that course there. Well done anyways. I figured you would have no problems.

Quest completed

______________

Test the Competition Track

ewa

I really think it is time to try out the competition track! Are you ready Rita? Ride quickly and safely!

Objectives: Test the competition track.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 40 with The Goldenleaves

Ride the competition track, then speak with Ewa when you are finished.

ewa

That was really good Rita! But I think you can do even better. Try and set a record if you can!

Quest completed

______________

Ask For Permission

ewa

Hey Rita! You have an idea? If we can build a jumping course in the paddock? That’s a great idea. We don’t have one right now. But before we start, we need to get permission from Carin. Ask Carin if it is okay.

Objectives: Ask Carin for permission to build a jumping course in the paddock.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with The Goldenleaves

Go over and ask Carin if you can build a jumping course.

carin

A jumping course in the paddock? Sure, why not? But you can’t take up too much space in the paddock. You need to build it yourself as everyone else here already has more than enough to do. We can help you with tips and advice if you like.

Quest complete

______________

Build a Jump

carin

Behind the store with the horse equipment and the barn, there is a bunch of different parts you can use to build your jumping course There should be enough room for a small course with six jumps. That doesn’t feel like a log, but if you place the jumps well it could be very challenging. If you put the jumps close together, then people won’t be able to manage it at full speed, which will make it much harder as they will have to change speed to make it. Good luck!

Objectives: Take the parts of jumps from behind the equipment shop and build a jumping course in the paddock.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Pick up all of the poles stacked behind the equipment shop. Go out into the paddock and place three poles at each marked location. Return to Ewa when you have set all of the poles.

ewa

Super! That jumping course looks very exciting! Really hard from the looks of it… But if there isn’t a challenge, there isn’t any point in doing it, like my old aunt used to say.

Quest completed

______________

Test the Small Jumping Course

ewa

Now you Rita! It is time to try out the jumping course you built!

Objectives: Manage the course’s six jumps. You’ll need to control your speed to clear the course.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 30 with The Goldenleaves

You will have to take the course slowly to be able to manage it. Speak with Ewa when you are done with the course.

ewa

That wasn’t so bad! It made my leg shake I wanted to try it myself so much!

Quest completed

Return to Ewa tomorrow.

Carin needs help with something now.

Hooves Along the Beach

carin

Now someone competing lost all their horseshoes during the competition. Can you imagine? All four shoes at the same time? I’d love to have a chat with their farrier, as no real blacksmith would ever allow that to happen. You know how the track goes… Could you have a look and make sure there are no missing shoes buried in the sand? The others are looking in the woods.

Objectives: Look along the beach to find the missing horseshoes

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 60 with The Goldenleaves

Pick up four horseshoes from the beach. Three of them are along the racing track. The last one is on the opposite side of the island. Return to Carin when you have found all of them.

carin

It wasn’t easy to find them in the sand? But in the end it worked out fortunately.

Quest completed

Return to Carin tomorrow.

Feed each of the three horses in the stable, then return to Barney.
