Fort Pinta Administrator

Rita! Rita! I’m so happy to see you! I need help! It’s all a disaster! Complete misery!

Somebody has falsely accused me, but I didn’t do it!

Apparently being innocent doesn’t matter because the Fort Pinta administrator is on his way to give me an official warning!

It’s a conspiracy, you have to tell them that I’m an honest and generous soul who would never hurt anybody!

…

Don’t look so skeptical, Rita! I told you I’m innocent!

If you could just tell him Rita, I’m sure he’d understand! And that would be much better and cheaper for me than hiring a lawyer.

Watch out! Here comes the Administrator! Think of something nice to saw about me!

Objectives: Talk to the administrator.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Not sure what James is innocent of, but let’s tell the Administrator so.

Hrrrum hrrrrmmm.

Quest completed

______________

James is in Trouble

What’s going on here?

Hrrrum hrrrrrmmm.

You’ll have to excuse me, I have important things to discuss with young James.

…

You’re wondering what he’s done? Did you say you’re a friend of James?

You’re welcome to listen while I explain.

Objectives: Listen to what the administrator has to tell James.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

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

Hrrrrrum hrrrrrm. 

It’s a problematic situation, young James.

Recently I have been inundated with letters about your bad management of this little business of yours. 

Saying that you sell bad quality goods. That you charge insane prices. That you offer no value for money.

…But that’s not what this is about.

The more serious concern is that I’ve heard that all the tourists you bring here, and the horses that you hire to them have damaged the roads around Fort Pinta. 

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

Mr Administrator, this is all a mistake!

There’s always lots of people coming here and I’m not responsible for maintaining the roads!

What does this have to do with me?

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

You’ve worked harder than anybody else to get tourists here and it means that the fort and the roads around it are being used more.

Young James, I’ve inspected the roads myself and they are truly in a terrible state.

It’s just a matter of time before a car goes into the ditch or a horse breaks its leg. 

As it is, we may need to cancel all the buses to Jorvik City and stop all races before an accident happens!

If it turns out that your business is ruining our roads and damaging our countryside, I’ll have to revoke your business license and close down your entire business.

Then you won’t be able to sell as much as a pin in Fort Pinta ever again.

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

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

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

I’m sorry young James, but rules are rules. 

And we all have to follow the rules.

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

L-LOSE MY BUSINESS LICENSE?

NOOOOOOOO!

Quest completed

______________

The Investigation Starts

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

…

Phew… Okay, I’m calm now. But what should we do???

I can’t believe that the few tourists I manage to get here could cause that much damage. I may be a business man, but I would never do anything to hurt anybody or to hurt the countryside around here.

That would be terrible for business!

You think there’s something else behind this, Rita? You’re saying that you’ll investigate it for me? Thank you, Rita, thank you!

But where should we start? I have to look after the stables and I also need to read all those letters of complaint that were sent to the administrator.

You think you should start by examining the road outside the fort?

That sounds good! You can do the easy manual work out there and I’ll handle the heavy paper work here in the fort!

Objectives: Follow the track of damaged areas on the road and investigate how bad they are.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

The trail starts just outside the fort across the bridge. Follow it up the road towards Silverglade. You find the end of the damage, strangely near a GED set up off the side of the road.

The damage to the road seems to start here. The road looks normal and undamaged further along.

Quest completed

______________

GED Turns Up Again

There’s something odd about the damage to the road.

Even if James were to hire out five hundred horses, they couldn’t have caused this much damage.

And the damage seems to stop right here, exactly where GED seems to have reappeared with a new work site.

Objectives: Talk to the worker at the GED work site.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 20 with Fort Pinta

What could they possibly be doing now?

What are you doing here?

Get out of my sight!

Quest completed

______________

It’s Never GED’s fault!

What I’m doing here?

I’m doing important stuff for GED! And it’s none of your business!

Objectives: Ask Barney if he knows anything about what’s going on.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

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

As I said, I’m doing something very important here and I don’t have time to talk!

Is the road really bad? Sad to hear that, hee hee… I’m sure it would be really bad for Fort Pinta if tourists stopped coming here because the roads were so bad, and they have to let GED drill for oil next to that ugly fort instead…

…

But that’s got nothing to do with me! I’m just here to build… Ehm, important things for GED!

There is nothing suspicious here at all, so you can go away now.

…

No, there is nothing I need help with and there is no work here for somebody like you either!

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

It seems as though the man from GED is very anxious to get you away from here. Maybe someone living close by has seen something suspicious? Maybe you should talk to Barney to see if he’s seen anything?

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

Hey there Rita, what can I do for you?

There’s pot holes and other damage on the Fort Pinta road? That’s not good!

Quest completed

______________

What is GED Doing Here?

You say there’s big pot holes and all kinds of trash on the road and that some administrator in Fort Pinta claims it’s because of all the tourists?

That sounds weird. 

Objectives: Listen to what Barney has to say.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

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

I walk to Fort Pinta on that road quite often and I can’t remember seeing anything that would indicate that much damage. 

It sounds weird that the damage you describe would be caused by tourist buses and hired horses.

As far as I know, buses don’t tend to dig holes in the ground… And if they did, the holes would be much larger than the ones you’re talked about.

You say that GED has a site there? Yes, I’ve seen that, unfortunately. That guy turned up a few days ago with his containers, but there’s something weird going on there. 

Last time I walked past he seemed to just be hanging around waiting for something. I asked him what GED was doing here, but he just shouted that he was on his coffee break. 

I didn’t think you actually got any coffee breaks if you worked for GED!

I haven’t heard the sound of any machinery from there either, so what is it he’s actually working on?

I think it would be worthwhile keeping an eye on him. 

GED wouldn’t come here without a reason and I think they have a few skeletons in the cupboard, as Will would say.

If only we had a clue, we might be able to figure out if he had anything to do with the damage on the road…

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

Wait, I know where you can find a clue!

Quest completed

______________

Clues in a Photo Album

I know where we can find something to help us!

Steve and I often go for short walks around here to give the cows a bit of exercise, and sometimes we take photos with Steve’s camera while we’re out walking. 

I’m sure we were there just a day or so ago, just when the GED guy had arrived.

If you examine that photo, it might give us a clue.

…Where the photo is? In my photo album of course! I’ve got it safely tucked away here on the farm.

Where the photo album is? I don’t actually remember. Maybe you can help me find it?

Objectives: Find Barney’s photo album.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Find the photo album in the bushes behind the silo, and bring it to Barney.

There’s my photo album! I knew I’d put it in a safe place.

Quest completed

______________

Photographic Evidence

Now let’s see, here’s the photo Steve and I  took using Steve’s new camera the day before yesterday.

I don’t see anything weird, but you’d better check it yourself.

Objective: Examine Barney’s photo.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

There are two clues to find in the image.

First clue, is the GED guy in the background, behind Barney and Steve.

There’s the GED guy! I didn’t think of him when we took the photo!

But what is he doing? It looks like he’s locking something into the container.

Second clue, is the head of lettuce on the road.

Why should I look on the road? There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong there?

Aha! You’re right, Rita, that is weird!

We took this photo only a couple of days ago and it can’t possibly be wear and tear that has caused the kind of damage you’re describing in so short a time.

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

If GED has some super scary hole digging machine in the container that can dig fast without making any noise, maybe he’s behind it!

Quest completed

______________

The Hunt Goes On

But why would GED be digging holes? They usually build things.

…

But now when I think about it, there is of course another explanation.

The only things I know around here that can cause a lot of damage in a short time are chipmunks. They can dig holes in not time if they think they can find food.

But I don’t understand why they would dig holes in the middle of the road? There can’t be anything there for them to eat?

Steve usually has some chipmunks around on the farm, so it’s probably worth talking to him about it.

Most farmers put out traps to stop the chipmunks from eating the lettuce, but Steve is too goodhearted for that, so he feeds them instead.

I have to stay here and watch the potatoes grow, so it’s probably best if you ride over to Steve and ask him about it. 

Objectives: Talk to Steve about the chipmunks.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Ride over to Steve’s farm and ask him about chipmunks.

Hey, Rita!

It’s always a good day on the farm when you come for a visit.

Quest completed

______________

Waiting to Feed a Chipmunk

Holes in the road? The chipmunks could dig holes like that in no time if they had to, but you know what Rita? I don’t think my chipmunks here on the farm would do anything like that – they like it here and they get fed.

Of course, they may have moved to another farm for a change of scenery, or maybe they’re renovating their holes ahead of the winter – and sometimes they take on a bit of extra work as mailmen, I’ve heard.

You know what, I’ll give you some lettuce that you can feed them with, and I’m sure they’ll come up and say hi if you just wait a little bit!

They’re very nice and don’t bite at all, so try feeding them to see if they’re there.

Objectives: Feed the chipmunks with Steve’s lettuce.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

After you place the lettuce down, you wait for a long time, but no chipmunks appear. This is strange…

You didn’t see a single chipmunk? Are you sure you waited long enough?

That’s sad. Where could they have gone?

Quest completed

______________

A Trail of Lettuce

It’s a shame that the chipmunks have gone. They were a nice addition to the farm.

You say you want to find them, Rita?

If you find that kind of thing fun, by all means, see if you can find them, but you don’t have to force them to come back here if they’ve found somewhere nice to live.

If you start looking by the holes where they live, maybe you and Summerblaze can find a trail together!

Objectives: Follow the trail and find out where the chipmunks have gone.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

You find a piece of lettuce on the ground near the chipmunk holes. You notice another piece farther on, leading a trail all the way back towards the damaged road.

Chipmunks all over the road!

Quest completed

______________

Two Coincidences is a Conclusion

The chipmunks have dug holes all over the road, and somebody brought them here on purpose. Maybe it’s time to confront the GED work site again.

Objectives: Talk to the GED worker again.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

We’re on to him….

You’re back again?

…

Chipmunks? Don’t be silly, there are no chipmunks here!

Quest completed

______________

Sneak in to Investigate

There are no chipmunks on the road, and if there were it wouldn’t be anything to do with me.

And by the way, I hate chipmunks! They’re so ugly!

Now I have to… Ehm… Work! With non-chipmunk related jobs! If I see you here again, I’ll kick you out!

Objectives: Find something you can lure the GED worker away with.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Your plan of distraction involves getting past the worker to be behind the metal containers. Go past the stone wall nearby, and jump over it. Going any closer gets you thrown out by the worker.

You could maybe use this trash to distract the GED worker.

Quest completed

______________

A Breaking Distraction

If I throw one of these bottles as far as I can, he might go to investigate the noise. That will give me some time to look around the site, but I have to be quick!

Objectives: Use a bottle from the pile of trash to lure the GED worker away and then peek into the container.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Your plan works. He takes off running to investigate the noise and you get a chance to peek inside the containers. One if filled with chipmunks. The other is full of heads of lettuce. Coincidence? I think not!

W-what? You’re still here? I hope you haven’t looked in any of the containers? Which are obviously both empty!

Quest completed

______________

Car Chase in Silverglade

Those containers just contain work stuff. There’s nothing weird about that.

You’ve seen that there are chipmunks locked away here? I-I see, that’s odd. It obviously can’t be anything to do with… Ehm… Me.

I will of course… Ehm… Let them out immediately. I’ll just get the keys to the container which is… Ehm… Over here in the car.

Objectives: Catch the GED worker before he has time to run away.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 70 XP, 250 Horse XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

The worker jumps in his car and speeds off, hoping to escape. Complete the race to chase him down. Beware of barrels he jettisons out from behind the car. He gets close to the fort and the car wipes out on a puddle of oil and crashes into a stone wall, leaving him dazed outside the car.

Ugh… I hate chipmunks and their hole digging!

Quest completed

______________

Set the Chipmunks Free

This was a stupid plan from the start… Catch chipmunks from all over Jorvik to sabotage the road so that nobody could blame GED… I’d better run before I’m arrested!

Grrr… I assume I won’t get out of here without giving you the key. Bah! Take it! As long as I don’t have to see you or a chipmunk ever again! It landed over here somewhere when the car crashed.

Objectives: Find the key for the container and release the chipmunks.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Pick up the key and return to the container. Release the chipmunks and take one with you for evidence.

The released chipmunks happily jump onto the grass. 

Quest completed

______________

Good News, At Last

This chipmunk seems calm and friendly. If it goes with you to Fort Pinta you can use it to prove James is innocent.

Objectives: Return to James and show him the chipmunk.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

James will be relieved to see you.

Rita! Have you found anything? Hurry up and tell the administrator!

We can’t lose even a second!

Quest completed

______________

Conclusive Evidence

Hrrrrum hrrrrrrmm.

Do you have any new information for us?

Objectives: Prove to the administrator that James is innocent.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

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

Hrrrrrrm…. What have you got to say?

About the damage to the road…

What are the damages?

They’re not caused by horses or buses.

Then what is behind it?

Chipmunks!

Chipmunks? Do you have any proof?

(Show the chipmunk.)

A chipmunk! And GED was involved? It’s obvious now that young James didn’t have anything to do with this.

That’s right.

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

Hrrrrm, so it was the man from GED who was behind it all, and I blamed young James like an old fool. 

Quest completed

______________

Apologies to Young James

Hrrrm. So GED wanted to destroy the road and blame everything on James? Now I’m starting to understand. A while back, I got a letter from GED saying they wanted to drill resources around Fort Pinta. Obviously I said no, it would ruin the environment and scare away the tourists. 

Now when I thought we would have to prohibit tourists I was thinking of saying yes to GED instead!

I’m sure that’s what they planned all along. Hrrrm.

I have to start preparations for the road repairs and bringing all those chipmunks home again immediately.

Rita, you have saved Fort Pinta and prevented me from committing a big mistake. Would you give James my sincere apologies?

Objectives: Tell James that the administrator apologizes.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Give James the good news.

Were you able to prove that I was innocent?

Quest completed

______________

A Thank You From James

So GED is trying to sabotage things for me?

They don’t know what they’re getting themselves into! If they want to try to get me, I’ll sue them for everything they have!

But that will have to be some other time, right now I have to make sure I take care of all the tourists that have been frightened by all the talk of damaged roads. 

But I’m sure it will be alright… I can arrange for guided tours where you can see actual live chipmunks instead, I’m sure the tourists will love it! I can sell loads of t-shirts with chipmunks printed on them, and the chipmunk cuddly toys – then I’m sure I can make loads of money from this disaster!

Rita, I am eternally grateful!

Objectives: Talk to James about a reward.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 70 XP, Chipmunk T-shirt

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta

Now that is resolved…

A reward? We have defeated GED’s evil plans once again, is that not reward enough?

You know what, Rita, I’ve heard that these pretty t-shirts with chipmunks printed on them will be very popular in Fort Pinta, and as you’ve helped me so much, I’ll give you your first chipmunk t-shirt for half price!

Of course I’m joking, you know that don’t you, Rita? Obviously I’ll give you the t-shirt for free as you helped me resolve this disaster. 

You don’t need to thank me, you’ve already done so much for me and Fort Pinta!

[Of course the day I left off on has to be really freaking long! Regular posts should continue more frequently from now on.]

The following quests will unlock Jorvik City. They are a set of many short, unrelated stories, and can be done in any order once all of the areas of Jorvik City are unlocked.

To begin these quests, visit the Janitor at the Jorvik City Mall.

A Flowery Janitor

janitor

Oh, so you noticed the flower?

Humph! It’s actually a reward for all my hard work here at the mall. How else do you think the floor gets so shiny?

Who did I get it from? Bah! Don’t worry about it!

Sigh. Okay, since you ask so nicely… I got it from Iris the florist. She traveled all the way from Aideen’s Plaza to visit the mall. 

Where is Aideen’s Plaza? Here in Jorvik City of course! Hah! How could you not know?

Iris was really impressed by how clean the floor is in here. Unlike some, she even took her shoes off before she started walking around. Luckily some people have manners! 

No, I’m not in love with her! Stop it!

I want to give something back to show that I really appreciate the gift, but my work here in the mall takes up all my time!

…

I know!

I have a plan. Go talk to Clementine at the cafe here in the mall. She owes me a favor.

Ask her to bring out the best they have. Then come back over here to me!

Objective: Talk to Clementine in the cafe in the mall.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik City

Anything for you, Janitor, sir!

clementine

Hi there! How about a glass of Jor-Cola and a bun?

Quest completed

______________

A Heartfelt Order

clementine

Sorry, what did you say?

I see, the janitor sent you!

The tastiest thing we have? Who did he say that to?

Oh! Has the janitor found love? Then I have the perfect delicacy!

Take some of Jorvik’s tastiest chocolate hearts from this tray.

You can tell the janitor that we are even now.

Objectives: Pick up the chocolate hearts from Clementine in the cafe in the mall and give them to the janitor.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 8 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik City

The chocolate hearts are on a tray on the cafe counter. Pick them up and return outside to the Janitor.

janitor

You took your time. Well done, I guess.

…

Hah! Are they shaped like hearts?

Quest completed

______________

Let’s Go to Aideen’s Plaza!

janitor

Hah! I can’t give her a heart! She’ll think I’m in love with her!

Well, it will have to do.

As I said before, I have a plan…

You don’t seem very busy. Here, take these chocolate hearts and give them to Iris at Aideen’s Plaza.

Why don’t I do it? I told you already! I am much too busy here at the mall to have time for this. Humph!

Come on! Take this map of Jorvik City. I’ve marked Aideen’s Plaza for you. Go there and give my gift to Iris!

Objectives: Give the chocolate hearts to Iris at Aideen’s Plaza.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik City

To travel around Jorvik City, click on the rolling blue tram (or go to the door at the mall) and a map of the city will pop up, then click on the area of the city you wish to go to. You can also return to Fort Pinta from the map. Once you have unlocked all the areas of Jorvik City, you can freely travel between on the tram or directly to them from the Fort Pinta bus.

Once at Aideen’s Plaza, Iris can be found on the east side of the central square.

iris

Hello, hello. What can I do to make your day better?

Chocolate hearts from the janitor? Wow, that is so nice of him!

Quest completed

______________

New in Town

iris

Wow, now you really caught me off guard. So sweet of him!

Do you think he likes me? Well, he is pretty handy and…

Hang on, what are you saying? Go on a date with the janitor? I’m much too shy, really!

(Iris’ cheeks blush bright red.)

Maybe if he took me to Leonardo’s ice cream parlor… It’s so cozy there.

Where is Leonardo’s ice cream parlor?

Do you have a map of Jorvik City? If you get it out, I’ll show you where it is!

Objectives: Talk to Iris at Aideen’s Plaza.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik City

Iris will show you all the areas of Jorvik City.

The two new areas you can visit are Governor’s Fall and Pier 13.

iris

Here, give me your map. Look here.

(Iris points to the map.)

Here’s Leonardo’s ice cream parlor. They have the best ice cream in all of Jorvik and it’s real cozy inside!

(Iris looks a little embarrassed and points to a new location.)

See this area here? Stay away from it! It’s Pier 13 and it’s full of nasty types…

Oh well, I really must get back to my flowers. 

I hope you have fun exploring Jorvik City!

See you later!

Quest completed

There are several characters in Jorvik City that need your help. You can talk to them in any order.

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

Find Yvonne on the south side of the square in Aideen’s Plaza.

Graffiti in the Square!

yvonne

Hey you! Did you do that?

What I’m talking about? All the graffiti that’s started showing up here in the square, of course!

Oh, so you say it wasn’t you?!

You don’t know? I don’t believe you…

All right, I’ll give you a chance to prove your innocence. Paint over all the graffiti here in the square! You can start with this wall beside me!

Here’s a can of paint and a brush.

Off you go, start painting!

Objectives: Paint over the graffiti on the wall beside Yvonne.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik City

Use the bucket of paint from your inventory and speak to Yvonne again.

yvonne

Look, that looks much nicer!

Although, I’m still not convinced that you’re not guilty…

Quest completed

______________

Graffiti in the Alley!

yvonne

You did a good job removing the graffiti from the wall, but we’re not finished yet!

I was out on a nice, peaceful walk today. When I walked through the alley leading to the square, I was upset to discover even more graffiti!

You almost look surprised… Do you mean to say you didn’t know about the graffiti on the wall in the alley?

Prove it! Here’s the paint.

Go straight to the alley with your paintbrush and paint over that graffiti!

Objectives: Paint over the graffiti in the alley.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik City

Find the graffiti in the east alley, near Yvonne. Paint over it and return to her.

yvonne

Now the alley looks much nicer!

Soon you will have proven that you’re innocent…

Quest completed

______________

Graffiti in the Cafe!

yvonne

While you were busy painting in the alley, I went to the cafe to buy a bun. To my great dismay, I saw the worst graffiti I’ve ever laid my eyes on it! It was slightly hidden behind a trash container, but I could still spot it!

This is the worst graffiti so far! If you paint over it, you will have proven that you’re innocent once and for all.

You know the drill. Here’s the paint…

Go on, go up to the cafe right away and make that graffiti vanish without a trace!

Objectives: Paint over the graffiti at the cafe.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik City

Go over to the side of the cafe and move the dumpster. Use the paint on the graffiti that is hidden behind the dumpster, then return to Yvonne.

yvonne

Can you feel that…?

(Yvonne takes a deep breath.)

The air just became much fresher and the atmosphere is nice and peaceful again!

Thanks a lot… Ehm, what’s your name by the way?

Rita… What a nice name for a young lady!

This isn’t over yet, Rita! One day I’ll find out who’s behind all this!

At the moment, I don’t have any use for this can of paint, so you might as well keep it. 

See you again, Rita! And keep an eye out for that graffiti punk!

Quest completed

Find Konrad sitting at the fountain in Aideen’s Plaza.

Birdseed

konrad

Sigh…

(The old man appears to be deep in thought. Try carefully to greet him again.)

Whaaat? AH!

Excuse me young lady, I was sitting here thinking at my place at the fountain and did not see you at all. 

Perhaps you also want to sit at Aideen’s fountain for a while? It’s good when you have lots on your mind, you know.

What do you say, young lady? You wonder what I’m thinking about?

Sigh…

It’s the pigeons! When I was the city gardener I always made sure that there was plenty of food for them and there were birds everywhere.

Now that I am retired, I thought that perhaps the birds would at least want to hang out when I couldn’t work anymore, but there are so few pigeons here!

The whole square used to be filled with pigeons that were so friendly and ate birdseed out of peoples’ hands when you fed them.

Young lady, I really can’t do any city work anymore, but you might be able to help me so the square will be full of flapping life again?

…

What did you say? People have started to talk so quietly nowadays.

Aha, you want to help me! You know, you are making an old happy!

Take these bags of birdseed and spread them in different places around the square and you’ll see that the pigeons will soon be back!

Objectives: Sprinkle birdseed in five locations around Aideen’s Square.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 1 with Jorvik City

Use the birdseed from your inventory to place bird food down around the fountain, then return to Konrad as the pigeons come flocking in.

Dohohohohoho! Soon there will be flapping and birds in the square!

Whaaat? Yes, it’s you, young lady. I didn’t see you sneak up!

It was so nice to have all these pigeons back in the square, I can sit and watch them all day.

…

Whaat? Excuse me, I think I got caught up in my thoughts again.

I get a little worried about the pigeons, but I don’t really remember why.

I remember that people often complain that the pigeons make everything very dirty.

Young lady, could you get a bucket and brush to tidy up a bit after the pigeons, just so that people don’t get so angry at the beautiful birds?

Objectives: Find cleaning equipment and clean up after the pigeons.

The Pigeons’ Flight

konrad

The Jorvik vermin control department doesn’t like it when too many pigeons are gathered in the same place. They can be really scary when they get tough.

A few small pigeons are nothing to worry about so I don’t see why people should get so upset.

But I heard that Yvonne complain loudly that she certainly would make sure someone did something about this ‘pigeon problem.’

Young lady, I’m terribly sorry that I’ve caused so much trouble for the little birds. Can you help them once again?

What you have to do is scare them away before the Jorvik vermin control department get here. 

Pigeons are easily frightened, but it doesn’t last so long, and if they see that their pigeon pals are still here, they will come back again.

Young lady, you’ll have to scare the pigeons away quickly so they don’t come back.

It’s just a matter of running around and waving your arms a little so they fly away, but make sure that all the pigeons have flown away before any others can land again.

I’ll be sure to treat you to some fresh fruit as a thanks for your help.

Objectives: Run towards a group of pigeons to scare them away. Pigeons come back after a minute if they are not all frightened away, so be quick.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik City

Run around the square and chase the pigeons away. Now that Konrad has had his fun watching them, it’s time to haze them for good. When you have scared all the pigeons away, return to Konrad.

konrad

Now there is nothing to complain about and the pigeons can fly away to safety.

It’s sad not to be able to see the square full of birds, but at least a couple of pigeons stayed and they are so nice to look at.

A Darned Sofa

adam

Hi there, neighbor! Sorry about the noise level, my girlfriend and I are having a heated discussion!

Oh, you’re not our neighbor? All right then, who are you?

I see! Nice to meet you, Rita! My name is Adam!

You see, my girlfriend Johanna and I have just moved into our new apartment, and it’s the first time we’re living together. I think it’s going to go fabulously!

The thing is, there’s just one problem left before we can live the dream, and it’s this darned sofa – it weighs a ton!

Now Johanna, my girlfriend, is as angry as a bee since she thinks it should be a piece of cake dragging the sofa up all the stairs and into the apartment…

Maybe you can help me persuade her to find a better solution than dragging the sofa up all the steps? My poor hands are aching after a day of hard work…

Objectives: Talk to Johanna.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

A Solution to the Problem

johanna_jc

I heard everything that you and my dear boyfriend were saying, Rita…

Adam thinks I’m being hard on him for thinking he should be able to carry more than two moving boxes up a few stairs!

(Johanna glares at Adam.)

We hired some movers to help us move the furniture. They must have forgotten the sofa, so now it’s up to us to get it into the apartment.

Lifting a small piece of furniture can’t be that hard, can it?

Alright, if my dear boyfriend is going to laze around, you and I will have to solve this on our own, right Rita?

You seem to have your wits about you. How would you get the sofa upstairs, into the apartment?

Hoist it up with a rope? Brilliant!

Then we can get the sofa into the apartment! Easy as pie!

It’s lucky that someone here can come up with a solution to the problem instead of just whining about their poor hands…

(Johanna looks accusingly at Adam.)

I think I remember seeing someone throw away a rope in one of the garbage bins around the corner. If you run and get the rope, I’ll get Adam to tie it around the sofa!

Objectives: find a rope in the garbage bins on the side of the building where Adam and Johanna are standing.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 8 XP

One Last Try

adam

Let’s see…

I think there was something about rabbit ears and the rope going around…

Ehm…

What’s that? Of course I know how to tie a rope around a sofa! I’ve done it thousands of times!

(Adam starts whispering.)

Okay, I have no idea how to tie a knot, but don’t tell Johanna!

Could you please help me? She already thinks I’m pretty worthless for not being able to carry the sofa up the stairs.

If you help me out, I’ll give you a really cool reward!

Here, take the rope and tie it around the sofa. I’ll distract Johanna so she doesn’t notice that you’re the one tying the knot!

Objectives: Tie the rope around the sofa.

Your knot holds up and Adam hoists the sofa up.

adam

Darned sofa!

It won’t fit through the window!

Your plan was brilliant, Rita, but now we’ve really tried everything!

I give up… We’ll just have to do without the sofa. We still have a wonderful armchair where you can sit like a king while watching TV!

Oh, I can’t wait until I can sit down and watch today’s match in my new apartment!

… Oh, that’s right! A reward…

Hmm… I know! You can have the sofa! We don’t have room for it anyway, so you’re welcome to it!

Thanks a lot, Rita!

Hello there! And what is your name, if I may ask?

Rita! Nice to meet you Rita.

I see that you seem to be interested in one of our beanies?

I have plans to open a shop here in the square and sell beanies but I’d need an assistant to get started.

If you are interested in a beanie maybe you could help me get the store started?

The beanies I’ve received are samples and I have a couple of boxes of beanies I would need help to move over here.

Could you go and get the boxes from the tram station?

Objectives: Collect three boxes of beanies from the station.

Now that we have enough beanies, we have to make sure that people know that a store will be opened here.

A store is nothing without customers and until now, nobody knows that the best beanies in Jorvik City are out here in an alleyway at Aideen’s Plaza.

It would be a shame if no one was able to find them.

I’ve printed flyers to be placed around the square. Could you put up the flyers in some different places here? Make sure that you spread them out so that they are not all in the same place.

Objectives: Put the flyers around Aideen’s Plaza.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

The Best Advertising

anni_the_beanie_merchant

Now there’s only one thing we need to get ready for the beanies to start selling like hotcakes, although sunshine is not the best weather for beanies. It would be unfortunate if any customers might feel like melting butter. 

The best advertisement is a satisfied customer, Rita, so if people start talking about the store in a positive manner, customers will flock here.

Let’s see… Which ones should we choose… Yes! The pink one will be good!

Here is a beanie, Rita, think of it as a sort of sample.

It would be really good if you could take this beanie with you and walk casually around the city a little and show off the beanie for everyone to see, and if anyone is curious, you can tell them about the beanies!

Objectives: Show samples to people in the city.

Hey, excuse me, have you seen two girls walking around and looking a little lost on the way here?

No? You haven’t seen anyone?

Sorry to bother you, but I was supposed to meet two friends here, but it’s been almost an hour and I’m worried that they might be lost.

Neither of them are from Jorvik city and it can be hard to find. Could I ask you for a favor?

I don’t want to leave here and go look for them in case they turn up while I’m gone, but it would be really nice if you could look for them? I’ll buy you some ice cream in return.

She is a little shy and wouldn’t have the courage to ask for directions, so if I know here well, she is wandering around here somewhere.

But if you’ve searched through the whole neighborhood for Jessica and have not found Abigail, could she have gotten off at the wrong station?

There are a couple of cafes, one at Aideen’s Plaza, and one in the Jorvik City mall, but I didn’t think that you could mistake them for Leonardo’s ice cream parlor!

Can you please try to find Abigail?

Objectives: Look for Abigail. Maybe she got off at the wrong station and wound up at Aideen’s Plaza or the mall.

Dust Bunnies the Size of Cars!

health_inspector_harry

Hold it right there! Don’t come any closer!

Did you know that bacteria can travel several meters through the air? Did you? Highly dangerous!

Dust bunnies, how rude of me not to introduce myself…

Health Inspector Harry, the best health inspector in town!

No need to applaud! I’m only doing my job. 

Oh, you weren’t applauding…

Who are you then?

Wait! Please cover your mouth before talking to me. I don’t want to catch any nasty cooties!

(You cover your mouth.)

Rita? Look at that! Almost as clean as my name; Harry!

You know what, I have an idea! I could use a health assistant. How about it? Interested?

What does it mean to be a health assistant? Good question! A very good question!

I’m here to inspect Leonardo’s Ice Cream Parlor. The assignment is too big for just one person, that’s why I need your help!

The ice cream parlor has been here a long time, probably ever since the 1950s! Just think how many bacteria have collected there over all these years! And dust! Dust bunnies the size of cars, surely!

Ewww, just the thought of it makes me shudder.

Enough said about that! Are you ready for your first assignment, Rita?

First, I need to know if the ice cream parlor is clean and tidy.

Use this camera. Take a few photos inside the ice cream parlor.

I’ll stand guard here to make sure no dust bunnies try to escape!

It looks clean, but we all know appearances can be deceiving!

Did I mention the ice cream parlor is most likely from the 1950s?

Then you can probably guess how old the ice cream is!

It’s a mystery how the ice cream can still look this good, but as I said before, we can’t trust appearances. We must investigate this thoroughly!

The next step is to take some samples. Then we will know for sure if the ice cream is old and full of nasty bacteria!

Here, have some test tubes. Fill the test tubes with ice cream from the parlor and I’ll send them to the lab once you’re done!

Don’t forget to take a sample of the strawberry ice cream! It’s well known for collecting lots of bacteria!

Can you guess what comes after bacteria?

No, not fire…

Sound!

Rita, have you ever noticed that socks sometimes disappear when you wash them in the washing machine?

Why do you think that is?

That’s right! Loud volumes!

Loud volumes are said to be the reason why cats often fight with each other at night.

Therefore, it’s of utmost importance that you control the sound level of every piece of equipment used in public spaces!

Leonardo’s has a jukebox that’s used every day. It’s time to see if it is a danger to the public!

Play a song on the jukebox!

I’ll stay put to check if the sound can be heard all the way out here.

And everyone in the ice cream parlor is feeling alright? No one has passed out from the loud music?

Absolutely perfect, Rita!

My assignment here is done. I just heard from the lab that they have tested the ice cream. Apparently it’s in excellent condition.

Personally, I think that’s amazing! After all, the ice cream is over fifty years old! Incredible!

Well, the lab would never lie. and you can be sure of one thing Rita, that a health inspector always tells the truth!

I must admit that you are a gifted health assistant, Rita.

Unfortunately, the role of health inspector has already been assigned to me. Otherwise you would have a bright future in the field of health inspection!

My assignment is now complete, but before I leave I want to give you a small reward for your impeccable work!

They don’t know how a few heroes risk everything to protect them!

But of course, it’s TOP SECRET and you can’t tell anyone. You seem to have your wits about you anyway. If you absolutely want to know what’s going on, meet me in the darkest port area at Pier 13. 

But I’m warning you! Once you accept, you can never go back to how it was before ever again! Make your choice and meet me at Pier 13!

In the Jorvik Secret Service

double_o

Naturally, you’ll be wondering why we are meeting here. You are about to be initiated into something so TOP SECRET that we can’t be too careful! I’m talking about some seriously secret stuff. Things that are hiding in the shadows! Things that common people in Jorvik never notice.

Are you totally sure that you’re ready?

…

You have to whisper, someone might hear you!

I belong to the super secret police force of Jorvik City. I’m so secret that neither the regular police nor the Jorvik Council know about me. The fact is that you are the first person I’ve told about this!

Now that you’re involved, I don’t think we have any choice but to make you a secret agent as well.

No, there won’t be an initiation ceremony, it’s too risky! You won’t get any medals either. I only award invisible medals, just to be on the safe side. Now that you are going to be a secret agent, you must learn a couple of rules.

The first thing that you need to understand is that you are part of the self-appointed super secret police and you must constantly be on guard against anything!

Everywhere there are spies, enemy ninjas, and sinister conspiracies to take over the world. Of course, I manage fine as I’ve seen so many spy movies, but you still have a lot to learn. 

Moreover, it’s risky for us to be seen together.

Someone could see us, and if they figure out that we’re secret agents, then we’re in trouble! That’s why we can only meet at night, here in the shadiest port area where hardly anyone comes, and we can only talk briefly every night.

You will also need a code name.

No, don’t tell me your real name! It’s too dangerous! We’ll have to think of something good. You can call me Double-O. You see, I’m so secret that I can’t even disclose my full 00 number. 

If you’re ready, we’ll start with your training to become a real self-proclaimed agent in the Jorvik Secret Service, appointed by me!

Agent, are you ready?

Sneaking Around Like a Spy

Before you can become a proper agent, you have to go through a training period.

I’ve put a number of markers around the harbor to make a training course that you can follow.

This will be hard, really hard, I’ve made sure of it, but if you succeed you’ll be assigned real missions.

I have my own training course at home that I run through every morning, but I’m sure it’s too hard for you.

In due course, you’ll be able to learn to bungee jump from helicopters, hack secret satellites, and fight ninjas.

Follow all the markers you can find throughout the harbor and make sure none of the dock workers see you!

Objectives: Sneak through Double-O’s course without being discovered by any dock workers.

Hidden Camera

double_o

Now Agent Triple Z, it’s time to assign you a proper mission.

Remember, you have no one who can come to the rescue, so it might be dangerous if you do not exercise the HIGHEST caution!

At Leonardo’s Ice Cream Parlor, you witnessed my ongoing mission to expose a particular individual and her racketeering business!

I didn’t succeed at the time, but a little bird has told me that this is a person who has something to hide. 

YOUR mission Triple Z, is to take this top secret spy camera and catch the culprit with her fingers in the cookie jar!

You must secretly buy a ticket to Governor’s Fall and without her noticing it, you must follow and photograph her. 

You’ll see that there is something fishy going on, I’ll bet my magnetic watch on it!

Follow the suspect and photograph her when she stops at some points, all without you being discovered.

I will come to Governor’s Fall with you and keep a lookout at the tram station to make sure no one else starts following us while you are following her!

Good luck Agent Triple Z!

Objectives: Follow the suspect in Governor’s Fall and take three pictures without being seen.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

When you have enough photos, return to Double-O in front of Leo’s.

double_o

You say that you didn’t see anything weird? Hmm.

And in these pictures she is behaving perfectly normal.

Conclusive Evidence

double_o

It’s obvious that we’re dealing with a highly skilled enemy spy who manages to cover all her tracks.

Don’t you think that’s right, Triple Z? Do you think that maybe she is innocent?

It would be safest for Jorvik if that was the case, but a little bird told me that things appear to be different.

Who are my little birds? They are Polly and Palle, my budgies. 

If you think she’s innocent, we have to know for sure that she isn’t bluffing, just waiting to steal Leonardo’s ice cream recipes and sell them to a foreign power for lots of money so they can create a rival ice cream company that could threaten all of Jorvik!

The suspect has been moving around the area, so your mission, Triple Z, is to look through every green recycling bin in Governor’s Fall and find some conclusive evidence that we can use against our subject. 

Good luck Agent Triple Z!

Objectives: Look for evidence in the green recycling bins at Governor’s Fall.

Agent Triple Z, you have been of great help for the Jorvik Super Secret Police and you deserve a reward.

The Bobcats’ Best Competition Rider

julie

Rita! Wanna come with me and my sister, Mandy, to Jarlaha today?

You don’t know what Jarlaha is?! All I can say is O.M.G!

Jarlaha is a horse gear store. I’ve been waiting for them to open up a store here in Jorvik City for years and now they’ve finally done it. Or they are opening – today actually! So I’ve convinced Mandy to meet up at Governor’s fall to go shopping.

But if you haven’t been and shopped at Jarlaha, then you don’t have a choice – you just have to come along! You will LOVE it! I promise.

If we’re still going to Fort Pinta to take the bus from there, how about a little race? Between us Bobcats?

Ha! Get ready to lose Rita, but don’t you worry now, I’m not a sore winner.

Loretta and Tan are busy checking out a new riding track between Moorland and Fort Pinta so I think we should check it out too.

Ready?

Objectives: Take Julie on and see who can get back to Fort Pinta first.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP, 75 Horse XP

Reputation: 25 with Bobcats

Win the race or you will have to start over until you do. Speak to Julie by the bus stop in Fort Pinta.

julie

Just so you know, I let you win, duh! As if you’d be a better rider than me. Pfff!

Mandy is Already Waiting

julie

Let’s jump on the bus to Governor’s Fall. No doubt Mandy is already waiting for us there.

Objectives: Take the bus to Governor’s Fall.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Bobcats

Disembark the bus at Governor’s Fall and find Julie and Mandy out front of Leo’s Ice Cream Parlor.

julie

Finally! What took you so long to get off the bus?

Do you remember my sister, Mandy?

My First Set of Gear

mandy

Hey Rita! Cool to see you again! It’s been a while!

Julie has been nagging me every day since she found out that Jarlaha is opening in Governor’s Fall. Haha, now she has started giving me riding lessons. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be a Bobcat… Or I’ll start my own riding club. Haha.

I’m so hyped today! I’m going to buy my own first set of gear. Julie says the equipment you use is important in horse riding.

But still cool that you’re coming with. Who knows – maybe you’ll find something nice too.

I’ve already had a sneak peek in the Jarlaha shop window! It’s not far, just across the street. Come on!

Objectives: Go along to the Jarlaha horse gear store.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Bobcats

Walk across the street with Julie and Mandy. The store isn’t open yet, though. Maybe something is wrong?

marten

Why today of all days?! So typical! This is a total disaster!

Sorry girls. I know Jarlaha was meant to be opening today… But unfortunately it’s not the case. I have to call the locksmith and get her to come fix this.

Me and My Bird Phobia

marten

What happened? Sigh.

Well, I was stupid and threw away the key to the store.

I know, I know! It was really stupid but you know, I have a real bird phobia.

I was going to open the shop a few hours ago, but when I got to the shop, there was a bunch of magpies at the front door. I first tried screaming at them to scare them away, but they just stood and squawked at me. It was like they knew I was scared!

Without thinking, I threw the key at them. It made them fly away, but unfortunately the key got stuck on one of the bird’s legs…

Without the key, I can’t get into the store…

Did I see which direction the birds flew? Ha, those bad birds usually sit and hide in the trees outside Leonardo’s ice cream parlor. They’re just waiting to scare the poor innocent people. 

Did you say you’ll get the key back for me? Ha, I don’t know if you’ll be able to, but if you do, I’ll be a happy man.

Objectives: Shake the tree so the key falls down.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik City

Even if I make you a happy man, you’ll still be a stupid one…

Shake at the tree across the street to retrieve the key, then return to Marten.

marten

The key?! You got it back from the magpies? That’s… So amazing!

Quest completed

The Honor of Turning the Key

marten

Now I can finally open Jarlaha! Have you been to any of our other stores?

No? Then you’ve really missed out! Jarlaha has the best horse riding gear you can imagine. Haha.

Nah, let’s not stand here shooting the breeze. Time to open the store, if you want you can have the honor of turning the key? After all, it’s thanks to you that we can open the store today.

Objectives: Open the store.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik City

Use the key from your inventory to open the store.

marten

I hereby declare this establishment officially opened! Thanks again for all your help Rita! You’re welcome to come and check out our stylish products whenever you need something new for your horse.

Jarlaha – The Doors Have Been Opened!

julie

What are you waiting for Rita? I’m going to check out the store right now! Let’s meet out here when everybody has seen enough.

Objectives: Enter the store and check out the goods.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Bobcats

Enter the store and look at the equipment they sell, but you don’t have to buy anything if you do not wish. Exit the store when you are done browsing.

julie

Did you find anything Rita? I bought a stylish new bridle for Fire Wind, he deserves it. I also helped Mandy find a really stylish set of gear. Now we only need to get her a horse. Haha.

Quest completed

A Thank You Gift From Us Both

mandy

Haha. I’ll have to wait to invest in my own horse, when I am living a little better.

But it was cool to see you again Rita! Maybe we’ll get to meet more in the future. Julie and I have to go now, for some sister time, you know.

I just wanted to say… Thanks. It’s thanks to you Rita that Julie and I can do this stuff.

So I convinced Julie that we should get a little thank you gift. 

Objectives: Talk to Julie.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Bobcats

These sleek leg wraps will look great on any horse!

julie

Ha! You? Wasn’t it I who said we should get her a thank you gift, Mandy!

But thanks anyway Rita! See you later!

Quest completed

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

Find Mr T Cray at Pier 13.

Crayfish House!

mr_t_cray

Look, a land crab!

…

Ha!

Does this crab have a name, by any chance?

Rita? Nice to meet you! The name’s Mr T Cray.

Hey, speaking of crabs, did you know that this harbor once used to be run by crayfish?

It’s true! Finally the mayor had enough and banished the crayfish here, to Pier 13!

Since I’m a true crayfish friend, I offer the crayfish a new home – in the form of crayfish cages placed in the water. You could almost call them houses for crayfish…

A crayfish house! Ha!

…

Oh! The crayfish cages!

It’s lucky you’re here, Rita!

You see, I’ve injured my back, which makes it hard for me to lift the crayfish cages out of the water…

If you stand on the quayside right beside me and look down, you should see them floating around down there!

If you help me lift up the crayfish cages, I’ll tell you more about the harbor when you’re finished!

Objectives: Go pull up three crayfish cages from the quayside closets to Mr T Cray.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik Shillings

Houses for crayfish, until you eat them, how clever!

mr_t_cray

Fishtastic, Rita!

By the way, do you know something else that’s fishtastic? Pier 14, built in 1952!

Quest completed

______________

Even More Crayfish Houses!

mr_t_cray

Did you know that Pier 14 was built by ants?

…

Ha!

Did you fall for that one, Rita?

Actually, it was a Frenchman known as Pierre Quatorze who was visiting. He felt that something was missing, and as fast as fish, a new pier was ordered! Legend has it that it was flown here with a zeppelin.

…

Oh that reminds me! I forgot to put out new crayfish cages at the quayside across from Pier 14!

Would you be so kind as to do it for me? I really don’t want to over-exert my back…

When you come back, I’ll tell you something incredibly interesting about Pier 12!

Objectives: Set out three crayfish cages by the quayside farthest away from Mr T Cray.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik City

Now we’ve taken the full crayfish houses, it’s time to set out empty ones so more crayfish have a place to live, until we eat them.

Return to Mr Cray when you are finished.

mr_t_cray

Fishtastic, Rita! You’ve got a talent for this!

Perhaps there’s a little fisherman in you after all…

Quest completed

______________

Crayfish Storage!

mr_t_cray

Without Pier 12, the harbor wouldn’t be around anymore…

That was where Kai Zwolf slipped and fell into the water. On him, he had a contract allowing the harbor to be torn down and replaced by a huge garage for the land crabs. Luckily, the contract was destroyed by the salty water!

…

Rita, I just realized I don’t have anywhere to store the crayfish!

Could you go and get a steel barrel for me? I would have liked to help you carry it, but I think it’s best for my back if I don’t. Also, the crayfish might get lonely if I leave!

There should be a steel barrel by the fence near the old warehouse building!

Objectives: Go to the fence by the old warehouse building a fetch a steel barrel. Then put the barrel beside Mr T Cray.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik City

Place the barrel near Mr Cray and watch as giant menacing claws reach out toward you, ack!

mr_t_cray

Fishtastic, Rita!

Hey, have you ever wandered along the quayside and felt these huge cravings for salmon?

You haven’t?

Strange…

…

Rita! While you were away getting the steel barrel, something incredible happened! My back! Suddenly it feels much better!

Hey Rita, how about you keep this barrel with the crayfish in it? Now that my back feels better, it’s once again time to go out to sea and catch some salmon!

Ship ahoy, Rita!
