Placement of Signs

Rita, fantastic! Well done! The water is turning blue again and I can’t find any new traces of the Pandorian crystal anymore. You are definitely a friend of the people of Jorvik.

How can I thank you? Hmm… I know! Here look at this! This is my old training suit from the days when I was young… before my legs became useless… There you go! It is yours now, wear it with honor!

Ride in peace Rita.

James has developed your photos. Let’s go see what they’ve turned up.

Moment of Truth

james

Hello Rita, thus, it seems like the film have been exposed to moisture or something because I could only get one photo. But such a good photo you have taken of Gunther! What? It’s not your camera? I think you need to talk to Gunther about this. Show him this photo!

Objectives: Talk to Gunther because he is on the photo.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Somebody’s got some ‘splaining to do!

Gunther is standing with his family over by the statue.

gunther

But! Why do you have a photo of me?

Quest completed

______________

The Top Model Tells

gunther

Indeed, you are looking for the man who took this photo? Yes, I remember! It was a nice gentleman here who needed some help with his camera. Finally we managed to get it in order and he took a photo of me. Why do you have his camera?

Objectives: Talk more with Gunther.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Fort Pinta

Let’s see what more our little tourist friend has to say.

gunther

What do you say, he was so nice! It’s very hard to think that he should do something stupid like poaching, but he said he was an angler.

Quest completed

______________

New Information

gunther

I’m afraid that the man you are looking for went home. He was a tourist here like me and my family. During his stay here I saw hi do a lot of fishing round Fort Pinta, probably looking for new challenges. When you are a tourist it can be hard to know what you are allowed to do or not. Is there any information about what rules you have for fishing on this island?

Objectives: Talk more with Gunther.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 60 with Fort Pinta

I’m pretty sure poaching is a universal no-no. And ignorance is about the lamest excuse in my book.

gunther

I think it may be helpful to check the information. Maybe James can brief the tourists when they arrive, about protected animals and the nature on the island.

Quest completed

Go over and speak with James about Gunther’s suggestion.

Ask James

mr_andersson

Do you know Rita, it sounds like a good idea. I’m sorry that my tourists have caused problems. Of course I will inform them better in the future. Give Mr Andersson my best and apologize for the lost fish.

Objectives: Offer James’ apology to Mr Andersson at the Valedale Lake.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Ride back up to Valedale Lake and speak with Mr Andersson.

mr_andersson

Hello again Rita! Wow, that was a good story. I don’t think that James shall claim responsibility for it all, you know what? I haven’t seen a single sign about the fishing ban.

Quest completed

______________

Collect Wood

mr_andersson

Would you like to help me make signs about the fishing ban? I know that I have all the material needed, but old and muddled as I am I have misplaced both hammer, nails and wood. Third time lucky? Do you want to ride around the lake again and look?

Objectives: Look for hammer, nails and wood around the Valedale Lake.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings and 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Valedale

Ride to the marked locations on your map and pick up the pieces needed to make the signs.

Return to Mr Andersson when you have everything.

mr_andersson

Great, I’ll take care of the rest.

Quest completed

Return to Mr Andersson tomorrow.

Now let’s see what Avalon has found in the report.

A Faked Report for Mr Sands

faceless_druid

Now I’ll tell you Rita. The report talks about them experimenting with new drilling methods up by Valedale Lake. They are trying using Pandoric crystals to make the drilling more efficient… And this is what is contaminating the water.

The worst thing is that they are fully aware of how dangerous it is but it doesn’t seem to bother them in the least. Seems like their experiment is going very well, it says so in the report.

But, I should tell you, have rewritten the report to say the exact opposite.

Now the report says using the crystals makes the drilling slower! Am I a clever man Rita? Ho ho! Ride down to Moorland Beach and deliver the report and we’ll see what happens.

Objectives: Ride down with the faked report to Moorland Beach.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Go back to Moorland, to the Dark Core base and give the report to the one Dark Core guy on the beach.

shady_guy

Report from the base at Valedale Lake? Where have you been? Mr Sands is very disappointed that the report is late. Give it to me!

Quest completed

______________

Back to Valedale Lake

shady_guy

Mr Sands is very angry that it took such a long time to deliver that report. You are absolutely going to get fired. Hehe. Ride back to Valedale Lake and report back there. The boss will decide what to do with you. Get going!

Objectives: Report back to the boss at the Valedale Lake base.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back up into the mountains by Valedale Lake and report to the boss there.

shady_guy

What are you doing here? Didn’t you get fired?

Quest completed

______________

Shutting Down

shady_guy

Grr… If I could, I would fire you right now… But I can’t as I have just been fired myself! Everyone here has been fired! I don’t understand… The drilling was a great success!

The poisonous waste? Eh? I don’t care about that. If I can get rid of it? Ha!

If I get a million Jorvik Shillings maybe. Do you have that kind of money? No? Then you can forget it. I’m just going to collect my things and get out of here with all the machines and gear.

Hmm… Maybe I can get a job with G.E.D.?

“I need to speak with Avalon about the waste. Maybe he will have an idea?”

Objectives: Speak with Avalon about the waste.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Go back to Avalon’s house in Valedale and tell him about this new development.

faceless_druid

The cinder? That is what is poisoning the water Rita. We have to find a way to get rid of it… But how? Hrmmm… Haha! I think I have an idea Rita.

Quest completed

______________

Convincing Powder

faceless_druid

I have an idea Rita. We can’t dispose of the waste properly ourselves but with a little trick we might be able to get Dark Core to take care of it themselves. Hoho! We can mix a magical powder that makes the person who eats it do what they are told, a hypnotic is what it is called. Let me tell you about it…

Objectives: Listen to what Avalon has to say.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Avalon will tell you what you need to do to make the powder.

faceless_druid

Okay then… You need to get three things for me.

Quest completed

______________

Valedale Herb

faceless_druid

There is some Valedale Herb growing behind my house. It has strong magical properties and it also tastes delicious. When I analyzed it before I noticed that it had taken in some of the green water and had become much stronger than normal. Good luck from bad one might say. It should be perfect to mix the hypnotic powder with. Bring me five leaves of the Valedale Herb.

Objectives: Behind Avalon’s house there are some Valedale Herb plants. Bring him five leaves from those plants.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Pick five leaves of the herb and return to Avalon with them.

faceless_druid

Good. These herbs should be perfect.

Quest completed

______________

Three Stones

faceless_druid

Another ingredient for the hypnotic powder comes from a kind of stone. It doesn’t look much different from other rocks, pretty much like all the others. But look specifically for stones that have a little bit of a blue tinge down by the river, that is where you will find them. Find three of the right kind that we can grind down.

Objectives: Down by the river there are blue tinged stones that Avalon needs. Collect three of them.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

There is one stone by the reeds near the waterfall. The other two stones are down the road. You shouldn’t need to go much farther past the Valedale Lake Road. When you have the three stones, return to Avalon.

faceless_druid

There we go. When we have ground up these stones we can mix them into the powder.

Quest completed

______________

A Mortar

faceless_druid

To mix the powder we need to grind up both the stones and the herb. For that I’ll need my old mortar that is in the shed behind my house. Pick that up and we are ready to start making the powder.

Objectives: Get Avalon’s mortar. It is in his shed behind his house.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

When you have picked up the mortar, return to Avalon with it.

faceless_druid

Good. Now I shall be able to mix the hypnotic powder.

Quest competed

Return to Avalon tomorrow.

Do the Fish Get On?

mr_andersson

The fish are quite happy with their new home. They are multiplying like crazy!

Objectives: Talk to Mr Andersson.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 60 with Valedale

Mr Andersson has been watching the fish closely.

mr_andersson

It’s good to know that the fish get on, but I’m worried that the poachers will come back. We should think of something that will keep them away from here.

Quest completed

______________

A Bad Idea?

mr_andersson

We need to be very creative. I think that we have to be sharp and one step beyond. What do you think about cutting apart the bridges, only a little, so when the poachers walks out on them they will fall into the water!

Objectives: Talk to Mr Andersson.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Excuse me? That is why I’m the brains of this operation…

mr_andersson

No, you are right, not a good idea. It affects ourselves. Maybe you have a better plan?

Quest completed

______________

A Better Idea

mr_andersson

Rita! You know what you are talking about. Of course we have to look for clues around the lake. You and Summerblaze were so effective the last time you rode around the lake, can’t you take one more lap?

Objectives: Look for clues around the lake.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Valedale

Ride around the lake to get to the spot marked on your map. Look for a clue that can help figure out who the poacher is. Return to Mr Andersson when you have found something.

mr_andersson

What’s this! A camera! It has to be from the poacher! Shall we develop the photos?

Quest completed

______________

To Be Sure

mr_andersson

First we have to be sure about whose camera this is. If you ask around Valedale if someone is missing a camera, I can ask in Firgrove. We’ll meet here later.

Objectives: Ask someone in Valedale about the camera.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 60 with Valedale

Sophie should know about all the comings and goings from her post along the main road.

sophie

Hi, it wasn’t long ago! Do you know what, I have seen that camera before.

Quest completed

______________

A Stranger With a Fishing Rod

sophie

So you are looking for a poacher and think this camera can belong to him? The other day I saw a man with a fishing rod in his hand and exactly this camera around his neck. He went over the bridge and up towards the mountains and the Valedale Lake. I’m pretty sure it’s his camera. You should ride and tell Mr Andersson this. 

Objectives: Ride and tell Mr Andersson about the testimony.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Go back to Mr Andersson and tell him what Sophie said.

mr_andersson

You say that Sophie was completely sure this camera belongs to a man with a fishing rod? It has to be the poacher’s camera. Let’s develop the photos!

Quest completed

______________

Photo Enthusiast

mr_andersson

If we shall develop this film we should go to James in Fort Pinta. He is very good at photograph and developing. It can take a while to develop a film so I think you should ride to him now. Here, take the camera with you.

Objectives: Talk to James in Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Valedale

Go to Fort Pinta and tell him about the film that needs developing.

james

Hey there Rita, neat camera!

Development

james

So, you need help with some development? Of course I will develop your photos, you have helped me so very many times.

Objectives: Talk to James.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 60 with Fort Pinta

-Scoffs- That’s an understatement if I ever heard one, little dude.

james

Thanks, I will fix all that.

Quest completed

Return to James tomorrow.

Let’s go see if Avalon has figured out the Dark Core password.

Past the Barricade

faceless_druid

Hello Rita. We have been lucky. I was lucky to hear that the password was “John Blund.” So now you can act like you are working for Dark Core when you sneak into that area up there.

In addition, the crystal you found is definitely Pandoric in origin. If Dark Core uses these crystals it is no surprise that the water is becoming contaminated. You need to stop them, no matter what they are doing. Good luck Rita!

Objectives: Ride up past the barricade by Valedale Lake and tell the guard the password.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride up to Valedale Lake and head towards where you got the sample from the waterfall, and speak to the guard there.

shady_guy

John Blund. That’s right. You seem awfully young to be working for Dark Core… Are you sure you should be here?

Quest completed

______________

Road to Dark Core’s Secret

shady_guy

You need to ride up to the boss there on the mountain. I’m only the guard here. Follow the road and you will find him. Get going!

Objectives: Speak with the boss. Follow the road.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Sheesh. It must be a job requirement to work for Dark Core you have to be perpetually impatient and cranky.

Go up the now opened road and follow it all the way to the end. The boss is standing at the construction site.

shady_guy

Aha. So you are going to begin working here? You don’t look like any worker I’ve ever seen, but I’m guessing you can help with some of the small jobs that I need done. But no complaining or you’ll get fired on the spot!

Quest completed

The next three tasks the boss gives you must all be done on foot, so you have to dismount from your horse.

Oil Dark Core’s Machines

shady_guy

Listen up pipsqueak. Our huge drilling machines need to be oiled. I would do it myself it it wasn’t so boring… So now you get to do it instead. Ha! Take this oil and lubricate the machines at the marked spots. Make it quick.

And no whining. I’ll kick you off this mountain so fast your head will spin!

Objectives: Oil the machines with the machine oil.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Use the oil can to oil the big drilling machine behind you. Speak with the boss again when you’re done.

shady_guy

It smelled bad? Hahaha! I know, it is so great not to have to do it anymore.

Quest completed

______________

Cinder Disposal

shady_guy

Listen up little weasel! When we drill in the mountains there is a bunch of waste. This needs to be taken care of. It isn’t any fun and it is a bit dangerous, but as the new person you get to do it. Take the shovel and get started on the cinder in the pile over there. No being lazy… I’ll be watching.

Objectives: Use the shovel to shovel the cinder down the cliff.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Use the shovel on the several green lumps in front of the drilled out tunnel. Then take them and place them on the pile of similar lumps stacked in the corner behind the drilling machine. Speak to the boss when you are done.

shady_guy

Heavy work right? Haha! NO whining I said!

Quest completed

______________

Dark Core Lunch

shady_guy

Come here little monkey! I’m starting to get hungry. Go fetch my lunch from the cooler over there. Hurry up! My stomach is rumbling!

Objectives: Get the lunch for the boss fro the cooler and give it to him.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

-Stares daggers-

The cooler is back towards the entrance to the construction site. It is wedged between a storage container and a big oil tank. Pick up the lunch inside the cooler and take it to the boss.

shady_guy

Ha. Horse-sandwich. My favorite! Mmmm… good.

That was great!

Quest completed

______________

Report to the Headquarters

shady_guy

Hmmm. Maybe you aren’t completely worthless after all. I have an important job for you. I can’t trust these other jobbies. Look here… This is a report to Mr Sands that describes how the work is going here. When he sees this report he is going to promote me right away. You’ll see… Using this green crystal we drill twice as quickly as we did before. The water is green? Yeah, we have seen that, but who really cares? Killing nature? Hahahaha! Who cares!

Here is the report. Ride down as quick as you can to our base by Moorland Beach so my colleagues can get it to Mr Sands as soon as possible. No daydreaming!

“Hmmm… this needs to go to Avalon instead.”

Objectives: Ride to Avalon with the report.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back down the road you came, and go take the report to Avalon in Valedale.

faceless_druid

Rita? Great that you are here. I’ve done a deeper analysis of the river water and I can already see signs of nature beginning to die around the river.

So, you were inside the Dark Core barricade. Did you find anything out? A report? Let’s have a look. Hrmmm. This report is encrypted. I think I can break it… but it will take some time. Come back tomorrow when I’ve had a chance to work on it.

Quest completed

Return to Avalon tomorrow.
