Speak to the Council Man to see if he has been able to find the money for a horse transport.

Perfectly Perfect Paperwork

council_man

Hello there! Splendid news!

I’ve managed to find some money for the horse trailer. It wasn’t easy, but in the end I managed to scrape exactly the right amount together to buy the trailer. Lovely news, eh?

A vehicle to pull the trailer? What would you be wanting with that?

Oh, the trailer doesn’t work without a vehicle to pull it. Sounds logical.

Unfortunately, the budget is too tight to find any more money for anything else now. Is there not anyone else you can ask? No?

Well, the trailer is waiting by the racetrack, in any case, perhaps you’ll come up with something. 

Hold on! I think I might have an idea!

The last time I was up at North Link, I met a friendly young intern who said he knew you. Maybe you can talk to him? He seemed to have at least half a brain, unlike some of the other Neanderthals up there.

Talk to the intern. That’s my suggestion! See you around!

Objectives: Ride and ask the intern by North Link if he can help you.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride up to North Link and speak with the G.E.D. Trainee, who you had last helped cement up the whole in the Winery basement. He will be standing in front of the equipment at the entrance to the construction site.

ged_trainee

Hey Rita! Long time no see!

Quest completed

______________

We Need a Diversion!

ged_trainee

You need a vehicle that can tow a horse trailer? You wonder if I can help you?

Of course I can! We’re friends, and compared with all you’ve done for me, this would be a drop in the ocean. I can borrow a bulldozer from the construction site that you can use… I bet nobody will even notice it’s gone. Haha! This’ll be so much fun!

Hmm… The only problem is trying to drive the bulldozer off without anyone noticing. The laborers here don’t seem to care much about anything but if the intern suddenly drove off in a bulldozer, I think they might notice.

See that old man up on the cliff? Mr Bucket… Maybe he can help us? What do you think?

You’ll ride up and talk to him? Awesome, I’ll be here in the meantime.

Objectives: Talk to Mr Bucket up on the clifftop.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Ask Mr Bucket if he could help conjure up a distraction.

mr_bucket

Mm, hello to you. How are the plans progressing for the acquisition of an alternative means of transport to North Link?

Quest completed

______________

A Delivery of Distractions

mr_bucket

A distraction? Ha! I have the perfect distraction right here.

Yours truly is in fact one of Jorvik’s foremost experts in Bureaucratic Business English, both in the areas of theoretical grammar and circular logic. Right now, I’m putting the finishing touches to the final version of my epic masterpiece “North Link’s Infrastructural Capacity Displacement from a Perspective of Structural Capacity.” It’s taking forever to finish because even I fall asleep after just five minutes of reading it.

If you give this copy to the construction workers below and you’ll have all the time in the world to do whatever you want.

Objectives: Give Mr Bucket’s epic masterpiece: “North Link’s Infrastructural Capacity Displacement from a Perspective of Structural Capacity” to the construction workers by North Link.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride into the construction site and give the essay to the Crew Lead. He can be found standing in front of the tunnel.

ged_worker

Hello. Can’t you see we’re working here?

Hmm? Read what? Do I have to? Haven’t exactly got the time for this kind of drivel.

Quest completed

______________

A Successful Distraction

ged_worker

What? North Links Infrastructural Capacity Displacement from a Perspective of Structural Capacity? What on earth are you talking about? Sounds important though. Best give it a quick read.

Hmm… “North Link’s Infrastructural Capacity Displacement from a Perspective of Structural Capacity,” let’s have a look…

Reading, reading, reading…

Oh my days! I don’t understand a single thing… Feels like I should keep reading though…

I feel so very small. And stupid. And I need to start from the beginning…

(The project leader seems to be totally absorbed by the reading, this was exactly the distraction you were looking for! Now the intern can definitely drive off with the bulldozer without anybody noticing. Go back to the intern and tell him!)

Objectives: Return to the intern and let hi know the distraction worked.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Return to the Trainee and tell him about your distraction.

ged_trainee

How did it go? They’re completely preoccupied with Mr Bucket’s essay? Fantastic!

Quest completed

______________

Transport Transport for the Transport

ged_trainee

Excellent! This is going really smoothly! Wait here, and I’ll go get the bulldozer and drive it down to the Racetrack.

Objectives: Talk to the intern again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Wait for the Trainee to deliver the bulldozer, then speak to him when he returns.

ged_trainee

So! Now the bulldozer is in place. I put everything together whilst I was down there, so now the horse trailer works perfectly!

Quest completed

______________

A Bucketful of Good News

ged_trainee

So there that was. Done. Was great to see you again, Rita! Run by and say hi sometime, okay? Have a go and see if the horse trailer is working… Oh… But stop by Mr Bucket first, seems like he wants something. I can see him waving from here.

Off you go! See you again soon!

Objectives: Ride up to the clifftop above North Link and talk to Mr Bucket.

Rewards: 300 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP, Hi-Vis Jacket

Reputation: 100 with Silverglade Village

Tell Mr Bucket that the project is completed.

mr_bucket

Ah, fantastic work, Rita. You’ve contributed to the completion of our project, both within the allotted time frame and without exceeding budget by a single Jorvik Shilling. Truly remarkable work, I must say.

With this new transport option now available, one may travel to Silverglade Village on a daily basis. Imagine that. The opportunity to re-engage in the bureaucratic work of our dear Town Hall truly fills me with joy and happiness.

From the bottom of my hear, I want to express my sincere gratitude. 

Unfortunately, there was no space in the budget for this informal little project, but I can gladly give you one of my high-visibility vests. A proper hi-vis vest is something that should be part of every citizen’s wardrobe.

Until next time, Rita.

Tyra needs your help up at the Winery.

A Ghost in the Wine Cellar

tyra

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

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

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

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

Watch out for ghosts on the way down!

Eh… This doesn’t look like northern Jorvik…

______________

This Isn’t North Link

ged_trainee

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

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

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

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

Objectives: Speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

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

ged_trainee

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

Quest completed

______________

Which Bottle is the Right One for the Baroness?

ged_trainee

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

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

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

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

baroness

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

Quest completed

______________

Organization of Years

baroness

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

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

ged_trainee

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

Quest completed

______________

To Hide a Cellar

ged_trainee

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

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

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

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

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

baroness

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

Quest completed

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

Renovation of the Wine Cellar

baroness

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

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

See you soon!

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

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

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

ged_trainee

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

Quest completed

______________

A Big Hole to Fill

ged_trainee

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

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

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

Come back as soon as you can!

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

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

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

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

crew_lead

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

Quest completed

______________

Lost Concrete

crew_lead

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

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

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

Objectives: Find the lost concrete truck.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

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

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

quest-missing_cement_truck

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

truck_driver

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

Quest completed

______________

New Instructions for the Driver

truck_driver

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

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

Speak to the truck driver when you get there.

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

truck_driver

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

Cheers! We’ll see you tomorrow.

Quest completed

Return to the Truck Driver tomorrow.

These quests cover several days, but I am putting them all together on one post.

Day 15

Jame’s Treasure Hunt

james

Heya Rita! I was surfing J-Bay the other day and made a great deal. A real treasure map! Well… at least one out of the four pieces of one. If I could only get a hold of the other three parts then I could find the treasure. I’m sure it is amazing! There were two parts up for sale but I only managed to buy one of them. Someone called “Butler_o1” bought the other one… the only thing I know about him is that he also lives on Jorvik.

If you help me find the other parts of the map I’ll split the treasure with you. What do you say? If you are up for it you should start with figuring out who “Butler_01” is and try to get his part of the map.

Objectives: Find the person who calls themself “Butler_01” on the internet. They live somewhere on Jorvik. The name must be a clue as to who they really are.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with…

The only butler we know is Godfrey. Let’s go talk to him about this.

godfrey

Uh, “Butler_01”? Yes, that is me. How did you know?

Quest completed

______________

A Digital Library

godfrey

I see Rita, you can absolutely have part of the map but then I want my share of the treasure. We have plans to scan in all the books in the library to make them available for everyone in the world to enjoy. Unfortunately we haven’t had the money to get it done… so this treasure would really give us exactly what we need.

Take my piece of the map and ride over to James. Let him know that I want to share of the treasure as part of the deal.

Objectives: Ride back to James and tell him what the Butler said.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

Take the map back to James in Fort Pinta

james

Oh come on Rita… did you promise to give away a share of the treasure to the butler? Don’t you know how to negotiate? This is how it is done. You made the deal with the butler so you can split your share with him!

Quest completed

James is getting a little greedy now. These quests really make me not like him….

The Other Part of the Map

james

I’ve been surfing on Jorvikipedia while you were gone Rita. The map belonged to the famous American treasure hunter Mississippi Jones. He died a long time ago, but he was an adventurer who came to Jorvik a generation ago. His heirs couldn’t decide on how to split the treasure so they tore the map in four pieces and kept one piece each. I was lucky to find a lead on his daughter, California Jones. Her grave is somewhere nearby, but I’m not sure exactly where… it only says she was buried with a view of Fort Pinta… the town she loved so much.

Objectives: Find the grave of California Jones. It should be somewhere with a great view of Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

The only graveyard close to Fort Pinta is in Doyle’s Abbey, though it isn’t much of a view for all the bushes.

The grave is in the northeastern corner of the Abbey.

self

“This must be the grave of California Jones…”

Quest complete

______________

Where Did the Bouquet of Flowers Come From?

self

“A bouquet of dandelions. Don’t I know someone who likes dandelions? Maybe that person can help me find the next piece of the map. I guess I should bring the bouquet of dandelions.”

Objectives: Someone has placed a bouquet of dandelions on the grave, find the person who put it there.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 35 with…

Mrs Holdsworth is the master of dandelions and fixing sick cows. Go speak with her in Moorland.

mrs_holdsworth

Heya Rita! Those are some nice dandelions! Yes, California Jones was my grandmother. She loved dandelions so I put a bouquet of them on her grave every year. An old part of a map? I think I might have it in a box somewhere.

Quest completed

______________

Think of the Poor Little Foals

mrs_holdsworth

Sure, you can have my part of the map. But of course you need to share the treasure you find with me. My share will be given to the Jorvik Home for Orphan Foals. All those poor little foals with no mothers… sniff…

Here is my part of the map. Make sure James knows about the deal!

Objectives: Ride back to James and tell him what Mrs Holdsworth said.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

Tell James about the deal and the next piece of the map, though he won’t be happy about it.

james

What are you thinking Rita? Now Mrs Holdsworth is in on the treasure too? That is also coming out of your share! If you keep doing this there won’t be anything left for you at all!

Quest completed

Return to James tomorrow.

______________

Day 16

A Final Piece of the Map

james

I’ve been doing a bit more research on Jorvikipedia and trying to find out more about the last piece of the map. I’m pretty sure it is in Silverglade Village. Mississippi’s son Washington left everything he had to the people of Jorvik. All his possessions were taken care of by the council in Silverglade.

Objectives: Speak with the Councilman in Silverglade Village and ask about the will of Washington Jones.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The Councilman is near town hall in the center of town. Speak to him about the last part of the map.

council_man

The archives aren’t in Silverglade Village anymore. Which ironically is mostly because of Washington Jones. He was an avid collector of just about everything. When we went to archive his collection it filled up the entire basement of the city hall. It really wasn’t practical in the long run so everything was moved to Firgrove. Ride over there and ask my colleague there, I’m sure he will know all about it.

Objectives: Speak with the Councilman in Firgrove about the collection of Washington Jones.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

Ride to Firgrove, and speak with Mr Franklin. He can be found at the town hall across from the stables.

mr_franklin

Good day Rita. Washington Jones collection? Yes it was stored here. But it isn’t here anymore.

Deep in the Archives

mr_franklin

Washington Jones collection was so big we were forced to hire out a place in an old mine around here. There was a lot of unused space in that old mine. It is shut down now and there was a big spring so unfortunately I’m not sure what has happened to the collection. If you are lucky the old piece of the map might still be there. You should ride over there and have a look. Good luck!

Objectives: Find the piece of the map by the old mine outside Firgrove and ride back to the Councilman in Firgrove.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Firgrove

Funny how no one is really concerned precious artifacts could possibly have been destroyed in the flood.

The mine is highlighted in orange on your map, so it should be easy to find. It is down behind the sandpit, and can be seen from the road. Go to the mine and look for a bunch of wooden boxes laying on the ground. Search all of them, then return to Mr Franklin.

mr_franklin

Look at that. There we have the old piece of the map.

Take the Last Piece of the Map to Fort Pinta

mr_franklin

That piece of the map belongs to all the people of Jorvik so I can’t just give it to you. If you want this piece then you will have to share the treasure with the people of Jorvik. We need every shilling we can get to build new roads and new stalls.

Objectives: Ride back to James and tell him what has happened.

Quest completed

Return to Elizabeth tomorrow.

______________

Day 18

The First Stone

elizabeth_sunbeam

Now I’ve been to look at the runestone you asked me about. Fascinating really Rita. The runes tell the story of an ancient ritual that will open the mountain… whatever that means. Mississippi Jones must have figured out the ritual and hidden his treasure there. The good news is we druids learn that ritual in pre-school so I know exactly how to open it.

To open the mountain you’ll need to collect four different stones. They will be used in the ritual later. But first we need to find the stones. The first stone is red volcanic rock and you’ll find it in the mountain at the end of Everwind Fields. You need to find a way deep into the mountain to get that stone. I’m not sure how but I am sure you will figure out a way to do it. Maybe you can ask someone there to help you?

Objectives: Ride to the north part of Everwind Fields, once you are there try to find a way in to the heart of the mountain to get some red volcanic rock. Maybe you can ask someone there to help you.

To get to the rocks, go out of the construction site, and go past the hill that Mr Bucket was standing on, where one tower of the gondola lift is anchored.

Earth Stone

They are scattered through most of the outer fields of the winery. The easiest one to get to is in the back of the winery. Cross the little bridge, and they are in the lower tier field. It is the same field that you check the soil instruments for Carney.

Return to Elizabeth when you have found one.

Star Stone

elizabeth_sunbeam

Star Stones can be found high up in the mountains around here. It is hard to ride up there… but wait! I have an idea! Look around the rocky outcrops by the road on the way to Valedale lake. When they were building the road I’m sure they knocked down some Star Stones and they should still be there.

Objectives: Look along the road to Valedale lake for a Star Stone.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Take the Valedale Lake road, and after the last switchback, just before you get to the top, there’s grass of to the left of the road, that you can ride on. You have to go through some bushes (take it slow so you don’t fall off the cliff, oops!) and there are some Star Stones on the ground there.

Return to Elizabeth when you have found one.

Well done! I wasn’t sure you would be able to find a Star Stone. But we can always count on you Rita!

Runestone Secret

Now that you have all the different stones it is time to solve the riddle of the Runestone. I’m sure you understand by now that this is a puzzle. I’ not going to explain how it is done… look at this as a test. Instead I’m going to tell you the meaning of the runes and see if you can figure it out for yourself.

Share the Treasure

So you found the treasure? Fantastic! What’s that? James took all the silver coins? Let’s see the coin you have. Hmmm… hehe. That is a ten-pence, worth about half a shilling. I doubt that James has even earned back what he paid for his piece of the map on those. But you got an amazing adventure, am I right?

Wait a minute… that statue… let me have a closer look at it.Wow! You know what you have found?!

An ancient statue made by the old horse tribes here on Jorvik. This is a priceless cultural artifact! This belongs to all the people of Jorvik so it needs to be displayed so everyone can see it. As an archaeological find I need to take this from you right now… but you should get your reward for finding it. I will see that the Butler and Mrs Holdsworth get their share of the reward but you definitely deserve your share. You have done Jorvik a great service Rita. Thank you! You should keep that fantastic hat. It looks great on you, I have to say.

A New Home for the Chipmunks

steve

What do you think about letting them live behind the barn? In the corner of the old wall where the race starts. Then we won’t have to walk very far when it’s time to give them cabbage.

A Bathtub for the Chipmunks

What? You think we should give them a bathtub? Aha, the vet said that they like to take baths because they get so dirty when they dig. Yes, that sounds fair. Barney at the silo has some old water troughs and I’m sure he’ll give one to us.

Advice From the Vet

vet

I’m back now, sorry that you had to wait. I did some thinking while I was away and I think that the best approach is to befriend the chipmunks. Yes, befriend. They love cabbage. If you put down cabbage in the holes and I guarantee that they will love you. After that you can build a place where they are allowed to dig. You can mark the place with signs so people know it has holes. If you give the chipmunks some cabbage now and then they’ll stay. They also like to take baths because they get so dirty when they dig. Tell Steve this.

Objectives: Tell Steve what the vet said. He’s at Steve’s farm outside Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

It was a really great game, but much too scary for me. The pole bending tracks were so scare they gave me nightmares. But I couldn’t seem to stop playing the game. So I threw it away. The problem was I couldn’t find a single garbage can in all of Silverglade, not a single one. Eventually I sneaked up behind Jasper’s old house and hid it in the old stuff in his attic.

He has moved away so I thought it wouldn’t matter… I’m a little embarrassed about it now so you don’t need to give me a hard time about it The game is probably still there anyways…

I remember now. I thought I would start a used-goods market, which would work great here in Fort Pinta, and I needed things to sell. I thought maybe Jasper had left some stuff behind that might be good enough to sell. But the only thing I found was that game, Zombie Pole Bending Apocalypse.

That must be the best game ever! It was so much fun to play… I played all night, and all day then all night again. I forgot to take care of my customers, it was THAT good! You understand I couldn’t keep doing that so I had to sell it.

The person who bought it was an older lady from Firgrove. I think her name was Ms Morse. She said she had never played games before but wondered what it was like. So I sold her the game and my old game console. I’m sure she is in Firgrove if you want to speak with her.

Missing Bars

Sigh… Oh, hi Rita. Thanks for inviting my brother, he came over after a while. I could need some help if you have time. The bars I used were not approved so I ordered new ones from James, he had some extra in stock. But they haven’t arrived yet.

Can you ride to Fort Pinta and check with James what’s happened? You know James, the short guy at the stable in Fort Pinta.

Objectives: Ride to Fort Pinta and find out what happened to the bars. Talk to James who runs the rental stable in Fort Pinta.

Bars on the Bridge

james

The truck made it and no one got hurt, thankfully. But your bars fell out of the truck and down off the bridge. I think they’re down there somewhere. I haven’t had time to get them – there’s a lot of tourists here. But if you want them you can get them yourself.

Objectives: Find the bars under the bridge leading to Fort Pinta.

Return to James when you have found them all.

Blue Stones for Blue Dye

donald

Now I need some blue dye for the wool. I know there’s a special blue stone in Jorvik which I think would be perfect as pigment for the blue color I had in mind. The smith, Conrad, knows a lot about stones and minerals, talk to him!

Objectives: Talk to Conrad the smith. Conrad’s workshop is north of the Moorland stable.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Conrad. About time we pay him a visit!

Hi Rita! If I’ve heard about a blue stone? I have. It’s called Lapis Lazuli and it’s very rare here in Jorvik.

Quest completed

______________

Stonehunt in the Highlands

conrad_marsdeen

The Jorvik Lapis Lazuli. A rare and beautiful blue stone. To be able to find it you need to search long and hard, but I’ve found a place nearby where I found a few specimens.

Ride up to the western part of Nilmer’s Highlands. You know, the area to the west of the abandoned farm where I think you used to compete with the Bobcat girls. Ride to the rocky knolls to the far west of that area. If you’re lucky you can find some Lapis Lazuli there. Return to me when you’ve found three stones.

You can borrow my stone pick so you can break off the pieces.

Objectives: Look for the very blue stone Lapis Lazuli in the rocky parts to the west of Niler’s Highlands. Use the stone pick and get three stones.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

The stones can be found along the trail of the Bobcat Girls race, that goes off the main road and behind the farm. The stones are up in the bushes and along the hill, just off the trail.

Return to Conrad when you have found three of them.

conrad_marsdeen

Oh, you found  really nice specimen of Lapis Lazuili! Now we have to make this into dye. I’ll help you. I’ll grind it into a powder which you can use. Come back tomorrow, the process will be done by then.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.
