James is in a mood after having lost his wallet. Speak to him in Fort Pinta to see if you can help.

Wallet Gone! Money Vanished! End of the World!

Oh no! Where could it have got to? It’s not over here, and it’s not over there… Might it be in my other jeans?

Hey Rita, thank goodness you’re here! You haven’t seen my wallet around here, have you?

No? Ugh, look. I promise I won’t be angry, but might there be just a small chance that you maybe borrowed it?

No, of course I didn’t think you’d take it from me, I just felt like I had to ask.

Grr! Why does stuff like this always happen to e? Ugh…

What happened? Well, just the kind of usual regular old bad luck I always have, and now my wallet is missing. The worst thing of all is that all the money I had in it has gone as well! Someone’s stolen my whole life!

What’s the point in making all these great deals when someone just takes it all away from you afterwards? Grrr, as soon as I get hold of whoever took my wallet, I swear I’m gonna…

…Why do I think my wallet has been stolen? Easy answer. I’d never let it out of my sight for even half a second, especially not when there was tons of money in it. Someone’s taken it, there’s no two ways about it.

You think we should take a look around anyway, just in case I managed to drop it by accident?

Hmm, I guess you’re right. We’ll give it a go, but if we don’t find anything soon I’ll be ringing the police straight away. We can’t have thieves around here, it’s bad for business.

You’ll help me look for it?

A Fruity Trail

Rita, this just isn’t cool! We can’t have a thief that just goes around taking stuff off people. As soon as all the tourists hear about this, they’ll take off and I’ll lose all my business! This is a disaster! I’ve got to ring the police immediately, now where’s my phone?

…

I’m dead certain I had it right here… You know what this means, Rita?!

Someone’s just swiped my phone as well! Hang on, what’s this?

Someone’s dropped a little piece of… Banana?

Is that not another little chunk of banana there as well? It is, isn’t it?

Looks like our thief likes a bit of fruit. He’ll not be getting away with it for much longer, mind you… Since you promised you’d help, you can ride off and follow that fruity trail!

Objectives: Follow the trail of fruit to see if you can find James’ phone.

Right in front of the monkey is James’ phone. Could it be that this cheeky monkey also has James’ wallet?

______________

A Travelling Street Magician

Oh my good giddy gracious, little sweet pea, I’m ever so terribly, awfully sorry. Seriously! I thought I’d told little Diggory here that he’s not to be monkeying around taking things that aren’t his, but I must say he turns into such a naughty, cheeky monkey when he gets bored.

Oh, the shame, my little angel, I’m so enormously sorry, I haven’t even introduced myself! My name is Isebell Figg, soon to be the greatest street magician of all time, and hopefully apprentice to the great Ydris. Ta-daaaa!

If I can perform real magic? Haha, oh silly little butterfly, of course I can’t. Besides, there’s no such thing as real magic, because street magic is all about creating illusions. I simply get you to believe you’ve seen something magical happening when in fact, it’s all just a fun trick. I’ve been dreaming of a day when I’ll get to work with that master of the magical arts, Ydris. Have you heard of him?

But good grief, what a beautiful little horse you have! Summerblaze, you say! What a sweetie! Mind if I have a bit of a pet? Ohhhh, what a cute and fluffy mane you have, angel!

Darling, I don’t remember asking your name…

Objectives: Talk to Isebell.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Quest completed

______________

Back to Its Rightful Owner

Sweetheart, I’m so unbelievable forgetful. Do forgive me, you said something about Diggory having taken something from your friend?

Is there a chance that it might be this here wallet? Oh gosh, there are even more things here, how awfully embarrassing! Haha!

There’s an ID card that seems to belong to some kind of security guard, and a couple of keys as well…

Listen, petal, be a treasure and leave these things back with the people to whom they belong, would you?

Thanks ever so, little icicle. Let them know from me that I’m truly, seriously, devastatingly sorry.

Pip pip!

Objectives: Return the stolen goods.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

The ID card goes back to the disco security guard, the keys to the notary, and the phone and wallet go back to James. Return to Isebell when all the items are back with their owners.

Oh my, I’m really totally head over heels in love with Summerblaze! You’re the most beautiful horse I’ve ever seen with your lovely mane and those big beautiful eyes!

Life is a Card Game

Chickadee, I have the absolute, one hundred percent best idea ever! What do you say we start getting you trained up on the basics of being a street magician?!

I know, right? A tremendously tip-top idea! My little sugar plum, this will be the greatest day of your life!

You can get started by learning how to handle a card trick, because the card trick, princess, is the strongest tool in a street magician’s box! There’s always space to perform one, they’re super easy to carry and you can always do so much with them!

Okay, pumpkin, here’s the first card. The first thing we do is really eas–

NOO! My cards!! They’re flying away! Oh goodness, I must, must, MUST keeps a firmer grip on them, I should’ve known it’d be gusty here on the coast! Gosh darnit!

You’ll chase them and pick them up, you say?

A Budding Magician’s Apprentice

Okay little squirrel, here we go with your first card trick. First you let the person you’re about to perform the trick on see all your cards.

Then comes the tricky bit, letting the person take a card that they’re allowed to take a look at. Make sure you’re talking the whole time as you turn the cards in your hand upside down, like this.

When the person puts their card back into the pack, it’ll be the wrong way up compared with the rest of the cards. Clever, right?

To confuse the person even more, I usually say a few magic words, you know, make it sound like I’m casting a spell… Haha, you’ll do a great job, lamb chop! It sounds more complicated than it really is.

Here, take the cards and give it a go!

Objectives: Practice Isebell’s card trick, then talk to her.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Fort Pinta

Dismount your horse, then use the cards from your inventory to try out the trick. It will take a few tries, but you’ll get it.

Wow! Lovely work sweetheart! You and Summerblaze make a rather marvelous pair, perhaps you should try out a career in street magic? Or a magician on horseback?! Imagine the fame, honeybunch!

Quest completed

______________

Even a Magician Needs Permission!

Can I tell you a secret, little love? You know, between two magicians? Since I’ve introduced you to the ancient art of magic, of course you’re a magician now…

Yes, well, I’ve thought about organizing a show right here in Fort Pinta which will absolutely be positively one hundred percent remarkably remarkable!

Haha, you’re the sweetest, of course you like my idea. In any case, I need a very, very dull piece of paperwork to be able to hold the show. I swear if I was Ydris, I wouldn’t have needed a silly piece of paper…

Apparently it’s some James that I’ve to apply to with some kind of application fee to be able to get permission for the show.

Oh, you know James? Darling, I love you! Whatever would I have done if I didn’t get to meet you? I’d have been totally lost!

Could you take this envelope with the forms and the fee to James?

Oh, sweetie, you’re a total treasure! Mwah!

Objectives: Give James the payment.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

Hand the paper to James and ask if you can have permission for the magic show.

Applying to hold a magic show?

Quest completed

______________

Everyone Loves Magic!

Hmm… A magic show will attract even more tourists, because everyone loves magic! Of course she can have her show. More tourists here means more profit for me, and will probably make up for all the bad rumors that started about the thief.

You’ll ride back to her with the permission?

Great, see ya!

Objectives: Give the permission papers to Isebell.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Now I’ve got this lovely permission, I can really get started on preparing the show for real!

Oh please say you’ll help out, sweetie! Or, well, of course you’ll help, why wouldn’t you want to help?! Haha!

You want to? Oh, you’re a treasure!

Angel, would you be able to take the cutest, loveliest Summerblaze to the post office in Silverglade and pick up a delivery that should be there for me?

Wonderful! Mwah!

Objectives: Fetch Isebell’s parcel from the post office in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Fort Pinta

Ride to Silverglade and speak to Derek to see if Isebell’s parcel is there.

Hey Rita, what’s up?

How can I help you today?

Quest completed

______________

A Magical Delivery

A delivery for Isebell Figg, you say?

Hold on a second and I’ll see what I can find… Figg, Figg, Figg…

HERE! Here we go! Isebell Figg.

It’s great that you’ve come to get it, the delivery truck to Fort Pinta isn’t exactly reliable. You’ll only need to ask James about all the problems he’s had with them.

But yeah, here you go! A delivery for Isebell Figg. Hope you have a great day Rita!

Objectives: Give Isebell her things.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Fort Pinta

Return to Fort Pinta. Isebell is now standing near the cannon platform, next to the big statue.

A Magic Show with Fireworks!

Right then, sweetie, now we’ve got some serious work to do! Please please say you’ll help me?

Oh gosh you’re an absolute little miracle, thanks for saying you’ll help, you little treasure.

I need help preparing for some of my magic tricks, as this will quite simply be the best show I’ve ever done . What makes a great show spectacular, sweetie?

Exactly! Fireworks! Who doesn’t love a good firework?

Sweets, could you fill up these rockets with my special gunpowder? I keep it here in these bottles.

Thanks ever so much, petal.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Fort Pinta

Dismount your horse and use the bag of gunpowder from your inventory to fill each of the bottles.

This will be perfect! My special gunpowder will certainly go off with a bang! Beautiful, fanciful firework fantasies await, my treasure!

Quest completed

______________

You Can’t Be Confused and Refuse a Fuse!

Darling, it’s incredibly important you listen carefully to me now. Lighting fireworks is no magic trick, it’s something anyone can do!

What we’re going to do is tie all the fuses together so that it becomes one big fuse that splits off each firework. That means we just need to light one fuse in order for all the fireworks to go off!

How I’ll light them without anyone seeing?

Haha, oh you little sweetie! We’ll get to that, we’ll get to that… Would you be able to get started on tying up the fuses with each other?

Thanks ever so much, sweetness.

Objectives: Tie the fuses together then talk to Isebell.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Fort Pinta

Wind the fuses together with your nimble little fingers, then show Isebell when you are finished.

This looks wonderful, sweet pea. Now we just need to hide the fireworks.

Quest completed

______________

Hide the Rockets…

Let’s see now. Hmm…

We need to set out a few barrels here as decorations so that we can hide stuff behind them.

Haha, how wonderful you are, little petal! It’s great that you want to help me, you’re a treasure.

Can you set these barrels up on the stage there so that we can hide the fireworks behind them? Pumpkin, this is going to be really very marvelous!

Objectives: Set up everything ahead of the show, then talk to Isebell.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Fort Pinta

Place out the three barrels on the stage area, then return to Isebell.

Oh, booboo that looks utterly, thoroughly enchantingly, magnificent! You’re doing an absolutely super job!

Quest completed

______________

Magic Show Rumors

Oh my good gracious, how could I have forgotten? Haha! We need to let everyone know that there’s going to be a magic show!

What’s the best way to get the word out?

Flyers, you say? Haha, well of course! Why didn’t I think of that?! Just a second, I’ll just magic up some flyers right away that you can hand out.

Abra… Cadabra… Hocus… POCUS! Ta-daa!

Haha, you’re adorable, of course it’s not real magic. I’ll tell you my secret: I already had these flyers printed and ready to go since last week, but I got you to think I was actually magical, which is what you do as a magician – it’s all about the illusion!

Would you be a total diamond and see to it that these are handed out to everyone in Fort Pinta?

Oh, you really are a treasure, darling! Thanks! Mwah!

Objectives: Hand out flyers for the magic show, then talk to Isebell.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Quest completed

______________

Money in the Hat!

I’m so one hundred percent, absolutely, positively super happy that I could just explode, sweetie! Are you happy too? What a show we put on together!

Usually it would be Diggory that runs around the crowd with my hat, collecting money from those who wish to pay for seeing the show, but today it’s down to you!

Haha, you’re the sweetest. It’s not hard at all, just ride around with the hat and people will drop money into it if they want to.

Objectives: Gather money from the spectators, then talk to Isebell.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP, Isebell’s Stage Hat

You can keep the hat if you like, I have my own so I don’t need it.

Sweetie, I’m absolutely, one hundred percent, insanely happy. The tourists here in Fort Pinta seemed to really love our show, but most fantastic of all was you darling! You were so incredibly fabulous — you’ve clearly got magic within you!

Quest completed

______________

Clearing Away Every Trace

Okay, pumpkin, now all that’s left to do is clear up. After every show, you’ve got to make sure to pick up after yourself, and while it’s not the most exciting thing in the world, with your help, it’ll be done in two shakes of a lamb’s tail! We’re really not supposed to leave any traces of what we’ve been up to here.

a disappearing horse, all fabric and no needles, can you scare someone nicely, conrad, derek, donald, dont say a word, i could eat up my own tools, invisible like a ghost, is he eating needles, lethargy which can destroy everything, loretta, lorettas ghost story, may, no marks or holes as far as the eye can see, on the trail of lynx, rent a ghost, tan, the race to return to moorland, the waiting game, tracking the tracks

Speak to May to see if she got Lynx back from the blacksmith.

A Disappearing Horse

Rita!!

Honest to goodness, this is a total disaster!!

Aaaaaagggghhh!!

A mega catastrophe! I knew Lynx was a character, but I never thought this would happen…

Sorry, Rita, you’ve got no idea what’s happened… Lynx has disappeared!!

Lynx wasn’t very calm when he got back with his new shoes, so I left him on his own for a while to relax. But then one of the stable girls needed my help with something and I swear I couldn’t have been away for more than like a minute but then he’d disappeared…

He was gone… Totally without a trace.

Aaaaahhh, how am I ever gonna find him? He could have run off absolutely anywhere! What am I gonna do?! What’ll I tell my cousin?! “Hey cuz, listen, just so you know, I’ve lost your horse…” NO! I can’t say that! Seriously, she’d lose her bananas and never talk to me again.

Ohhhhh my gosh…

What? You would? You would help me find him?!

OH MY DAYS, you’re like the best! Any idea where we should start looking?

Great idea! Let’s ask around! Someone must’ve seen something. We’ll split up and I’ll see you back here in a while.

Objectives: Ask around Moorland Stables if anyone’s seen Lynx and then return to May.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Ride around the stable area and speak to the various people standing around. Maybe someone saw something? Report back to May when you have investigated enough.

Okay, so nobody saw anything?

Not exactly helpful…

Quest completed

______________

Tracking the Tracks

What do we do now? Nobody seems to have seen anything. How can you not notice a runaway horse?

Or, well, I supposed I missed it, but seriously though. Someone should’ve seen him!

You have an idea, you say?

That’s great, Rita! Can’t believe I didn’t think of it myself. Let’s see if we can find Lynx’s hoof prints. Since he’s got new shoes, his tracks should look different from all the others around here.

Objectives: Look on the ground around Moorland Stables to see if you can find Lynx’s hoof prints.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Search the areas around the stables until you pick up on Lynx’s track.

You find hoof prints on the ground…

They seem different from the others… Could they belong to Lynx?

Quest completed

______________

On the Trail of Lynx

You’re not completely sure, but following the tracks feels like it’s worth a try. Like May said, they differ from the others.

Objectives: Follow the tracks and see if you can find Lynx.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Where could this trail lead?

You found Lynx!

He stares at you and doesn’t look particularly interested in following you back…

Quest completed

______________

The Race to Return to Moorland

Just as everyone says, Lynx seems like a stubborn, cheeky, and lively horse. No way is a little bit of sugar going to lure him back.

What are you going to do?

His eyes meet yours and you suddenly realize: to get Lynx back to the stable, you need to challenge him to a race. A horse like Lynx loves competition, and would never back down from a chance to win.

You and Summerblaze start to limber up. Who’s the fastest? You and Summerblaze or Lynx? Who can get back to the stable first?

Lynx snorts eagerly. He’s ready for the challenge.

…But are you?

Objectives: Compete against Lynx. Who’ll be the fastest back to Moorland Stables?

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP, Black Spring Shoes

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Quick as the wind, my trusty steed!

Wow, that was fast! I felt the breeze whoosh past when you flew in through the gates.

Thanks for finding Lynx and bringing him back.

Now I just need to make sure I keep an eye on him! As a thanks for all your help, you can have this little present from which I got from my cousin for looking after Lynx, but you deserve it more. Now I need to carry on working, I’ll chat to you later!

Quest completed

Tan seems to be a bit jittery, let’s go see what is up with her.

Loretta’s Ghost Story

Hi Rita! Hey, I have to ask you something.

Has Loretta talked to you about a ghost that haunts the abandoned farm?

Exactly! The one up in Nilmer’s Highland. Did you know about that already?

Okay, maybe she just hasn’t had time to talk to you yet.

But you see… The reason I ask is that Loretta and I talked about the ghost before, and she told me that place was haunted.

Ha. Ha. Yeah, but like not because I believe in ghosts or anything. I mean, who does? Maybe a five-year-old. Ha. Ha…

But like, not because I believe in ghosts or anything, duh! But Loretta said she’d lost her warm riding gloves at the farm and I promised to get them. Since I don’t believe in that kind of stuff.

But jeez. It just feels so silly, why should I ride up there just because she believes in ghosts? Boy.

You don’t look like you have that much to do, Rita, can’t you ride up there and see if you’ll find something?

Ha, let me know if you see any ghosts.

Objectives: Ride up to the abandoned farm in Nilmer’s Highland to see if you can find anything.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Poke around Nilmer’s and see what you can find. Let’s hope you aren’t too afraid!

Return to Tan when you have found something.

Wait! Those are Loretta’s gloves! You found them at the farm, you said?

Then she was telling the truth…

Quest completed

______________

Invisible, Like a Ghost

Sorry Rita, I was just thinking out loud…

But like seriously, I don’t know what to think. Loretta said she’d lost them here, because she was running away from a ghost. I thought she was kidding at first, like she was trying to scare me or something. Like I’d fall for something like that, duh.

But at the same time, would Loretta leave her clothes behind? I mean nobody in their right mind would abandon an item of clothing… As long as it wasn’t outdated, dorky, or just generally ugly of course.

Seriously, promise not to tell anyone but Loretta has been behaving strange lately. I don’t know how to explain it, she’s just been strange. Like all that talk about a ghost, or that she didn’t want to tag along to Jorvik City yesterday!

Rita!

Quiet!

Loretta is coming! Can’t you follow her and try to find out what’s going on?

Awesome, I knew I could count on you.

Objectives: Follow Loretta without being noticed.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stables

Follow Loretta; don’t get to close so that she’ll see you following and don’t get to far behind so that you lose sight of her. Let’s see what this sneaky girl is up to…

And what exactly are you doing? Do you think I’m stupid or something? You don’t think I noticed you followed me the whole way here?!

Quest completed

______________

Can You Scare Someone Nicely?

You’ve talked to Tan, right? Admit it, Rita!

HA! I knew it!

Seriously, you can’t tell Tan anything, promise me that! I can only tell you if you promise not to say anything.

Thanks!

Tan’s birthday is coming up soon and I, as her BFF, was thinking about planning a surprise party for her.

I got the idea a few days ago when Tan and I were watching a scary movie. It was really unpleasant actually… But Tan just thought it was silly and was like, dying of laughter because I thought it was scary. I was like, HELLO, mature much? Like I can help being easily frightened.

But anyway, I thought I’d have a bit of fun with this. Call it revenge, but it’s a pretty sweet revenge if you ask me.

I thought I’d trick her into thinking the farm up here was haunted.

Oh, did she tell you about that? Did she seem to believe that?

She just needs a bit more convincing. I thought we’d decorate and make it seem creepy and ghostly up here.

When everything’s ready we just need to trick Tan and come up here and get her to believe it’s haunted so we can finally start the party.

I think it’ll be awesome, or what do you think?

Sooo, you want to help me or do you want to help me?

______________

Rent-A-Ghost

So nice of you to help me!

I’ve done tons of shopping for the party and everything is nearly ready now. We’re just missing a ghost that Tailor Donald was gonna sew.

I probably would’ve bought something online instead, feels safer. But Justin has talked about how great he is, and if Justin says so it MUST be true.

Donald promised he’d post my order when he was finished, but I haven’t gotten any package yet. I hope it hasn’t gotten stuck somewhere on the way.

Can you ride to Silverglade Village and ask Derek if he has the package over there? Then I don’t have to wait for the post.

Awesome!

Objectives: Talk to Derek.

Whoa, hey Rita! Awesome you came, I’m just about to have a total crisis here!

Quest completed

______________

Don’t Say a Word!

Whew!

How luck it was you who came Rita. I’m guessing you’re here to pick up Loretta’s order. Ugh, imagine her reaction if she was here now…

You have to promise not to tell her anything, but there’s been a ton of problems. First the delivery guy was delayed, then he had an accident on the way here. One of his wheels came off and most of the goods in the car fell out.

You don’t have to worry, Rita, nobody got hurt, but the delivery guy had to take the car to get it fixed. The fabric Donald was going to use for Loretta’s order is presumably lying somewhere along the road.

I would’ve gladly gathered up all the parcels, but I couldn’t leave the post office unattended. I managed to gather up quite a few, but not all of them.

Would you be able to help me gather up the parcels?

Thanks! If we get it done quickly nobody needs to know anything.

Objectives: Pick up the package, then talk to Derek.

No Marks or Holes as Far as the Eye Can See!

There we go! I had to wrap the fabric up into a new parcel, as the old one picked up a pretty big hole.

Just gotta keep our fingers crossed that the fabric wasn’t damaged!

Could you take this package to Donald?

Thanks! Hope he’s not too upset that it’s late…

______________

All Fabric and No Needles

Thanks!

I thought my light fabric order was gone forever. Could barely manage to think about all the sad and disappointed customers I’d get.

Sigh.

But the fabric is here now so it doesn’t matter anyway. I had needles before but no fabric. And now when I have the fabric, I can’t seem for find my needles…

The blacksmith? Like he has time to help me fix new needles. I think he has a lot more important things to do than to help me. And how would I even get there? I can barely be outside without getting a sunstroke, break my legs, or get lost.

Sigh.

It’s not like I can forbid you asking him, but you know the road to Moorland is very dangerous, right?

It’s a wonder anyone survives, without tripping over all the stones and falling to their death.

Objectives: Talk to the Blacksmith.

Ride to Conrad Marsdeen and ask him about making new needles for Donald.

Good day to you Rita! How’s my favorite rider today?

Sewing needles for Donald, you say?

Quest completed

______________

The Waiting Game

Of course I can make sewing needles! You know I can Rita, it’s just the pessimist Donald who thinks the world is against him.

Before I can help you, I have to finish another task. Would you mind gathering some wood for me in the meantime? We need to heat the fire properly to be able to make the best sewing needles.

Thank you so much Rita.

Objectives: Gather firewood then talk to the blacksmith.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

______________

Is He Eating Needles?!

Now I’m ready. Donald needed new needles, you said?

What does that man actually do with his needles? Does he eat them or what? He needs new ones like every five minutes! Hmm…

In order to make sewing needles of the highest quality, I would need your help. Can you help me?

Thanks! Can you ride down to the beach and see if you can find any dark Jorvegian amber? If I melt that together with the ore I have, I can create one of the most durable material there is.

Objectives: Gather dark Jorvegian amber from the beach and then talk to the blacksmith.

Ride to the beach behind Mrs Holdsworth’s house and collect the amber pieces you find. When you have enough, return to Conrad.

Quest completed

______________

Lethargy Which Can Destroy Everything

Here we go! Now we have everything and we can start with the sewing needles.

Mixing ore with amber is a very difficult and time-consuming task. It’s enough to lose concentration for just a moment and you have to start all over again. I’ll have to have complete focus when forging the needles so they’ll be perfect, so it would be great if you could assist me?

Thank you so much!

I’ll tell you what you have to do. If you just listen carefully, everything’s going to turn out great. Are you ready?

Objectives: Assist the blacksmith with the manufacturing of sewing needles.

Dismount your horse to be able to start this quest.

You must be quick with your actions; if you leave Conrad wait too long, he will lose concentration and you will have to start the quest over.

Keep your inventory screen open so that you can quickly access items when you pick them up to hand them to Conrad.

When you have successfully forged the needles, speak to Conrad again.

Thank you so much for helping, Rita! Look at how beautifully the needles turned out! I couldn’t have done it without your help.

Quest completed

______________

I Could Eat Up My Own Tools

There! Have you ever seen such well-made needles? I wouldn’t think so. If Donald isn’t satisfied with this, I’ll eat up my own tools.

Haha, you don’t have to look so horrified, Rita. Of course I’m only kidding around. Could you take these to Donald, so that he can continue with his orders?

Thanks! Hope you’ll have a nice day!

Objectives: Give the needles to Donald in Silverglade Village.

The Snow Just Won’t Melt

Now it really has been a while… Does the snow up on the mountain pass never melt? There’s been a few unseasonably warm days lately so maybe it’s time to get up there and have a proper check. I know you’re probably fed up watching snow melt, but I’m really, really keen to get into the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur now!

It’s been a hundred years since people were last there, and a little bit of snow shouldn’t be allowed to stop us!

Objectives: Ride to the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur and see if the mountain pass is still blocked with ice and snow.

Rewards: 19 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Valedale

Ride up the mountain pass near Elizabeth’s house to the top to see if the snow has finally melted. Return to Elizabeth when you have inspected the mountain pass.

Really?! What wonderful news! I had a feeling it’d be fine.. The days have been so sunny and warm lately, I just knew it would have an effect on the mountainside.

Quest completed

______________

Come On Now! Away You Go!

How exciting! Now the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur is open and waiting for us to explore! I really want to get my hands on some of the stuff that’s been locked up in that valley for years. It’s such a shame that the mountain pass has been so heavily blocked, otherwise we could have gone there ages ago…

Ah well! Now what are we waiting for?! Ride out and look for a safe way to get through to the valley, then report back to me.

Come on now! Away you go, my friend!

Here’s a little tip: the valley is very isolated, and it might be tough to get out once you get in. Make sure you have some extra space in your rucksack because there’s not going to be any shops or stables in there.

Objectives: Ride on in to the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur!

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Ride up the mountain pass and enter the valley through the gap in the snow.

A frozen valley thick with freeing mist spreads out beneath the old elevator tower.

Welcome to the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur!

Quest completed

______________

The Only Way is Down…

No elevator.But it really looks as though it’s possible to get down along the mountainside here…

The ice platforms along the mountainside don’t look as though they’d hold up very long if you step on them. I need to get down without stopping.

Then I won’t be able to come back up the same way. This feels so risky, but you gotta do what you gotta do in the name of adventure! I hope I can find another way up later until then, I’m alone and have nobody to help me…

Objectives: Try to get down the mountainside again without slipping, falling, or letting the ice platforms collapse beneath you!

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

This quest runs as a race to the bottom of the cliff. The platforms will collapse if you do not maintain at least the first gallop to get across them. You do not need to jump across to the platforms, as long as you are moving fast enough. Follow the arrows to find your way down the cliff. I found it fairly straightforward, and you will have ample enough time to complete even if you do fall a few times.

This is the lower part of the elevator tower. The elevator seems as unusable from down here as it is from up there.

Quest completed

______________

Inspect the Elevator Motor

The motor is right here in the middle of the elevator structure’s lower section. I can check it out and see if it’s possible to fix it. If I can fix the elevator, then I’ve got a sure way back to Valedale and Elizabeth can come with me into the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur without risking death on that dangerous mountainside.

Objectives: Examine the elevator’s motor.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Ride up the ramp to inspect the elevator motor.

The motor truly has seen better days. It’s broken, rusty, and out of fuel. Even if it was in better condition, it seems as though it needs to be started using some device or other which must be somewhere nearby.

Quest completed

______________

Check the Control Room

That building over there must be some kind of control room. I need to check it out!

Objectives: Examine the little building by the elevator.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Ride over to the little building and see if you can get inside.

This door is padlocked and I can’t get in.

Quest completed

______________

Find the Key

I wonder if there is a key hidden around here somewhere? Around the door frame or under a window, maybe? Maybe the old classic upturned flowerpot?

It’s worth a look… I really want to get into this little building…

Objectives: Look for any keys that might be lying around nearby.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Search the indicated areas nearby until you find the key, then return to the door and use the key from your inventory.

Yes! They key fits the lock! The door’s open now!

Quest completed

______________

Elevator Control Room…

This is a control room for the elevator! That control panel looks so old! Looks to be built using the most groundbreaking engineering from the late 19th century.

Definitely needs a closer look to see how messed up the control panel is.

Objectives: Examine the control panel.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Well, let’s see…

The control panel looks pretty intact, even though it’s not been used for a hundred years! The building seems to have protected all the delicate machinery from the wind and weather.

Quest completed

______________

Hidden Beneath the Snow…

If I can find things around here that could be used a spare parts, I think I can actually fix this motor. If I can find usable fuel, then I can get the elevator started. I really feel like I need to find a safe way to travel between Valedale and this amazingly exciting Valley! Only then can Elizabeth come here with me.

While I was looking for the key, I noticed a few odds and ends poking up through the snow… There could be things lying all over the place that I could use as spare parts.

I can’t be sure, but I also think I might have seen a diesel canister here somewhere in the snow…

Objectives: Find spare parts for the motor.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Ride around the surrounding area and dig up what you can find that you think will aid in fixing the elevator motor.

Seems to be a lot of rag-tag bunch of spare parts. Mostly junk… I guess some of it could be used for a basic repair, though.

Quest completed

______________

Motoring Through a Repair

I’m totally sure the motor can be fixed, even with these random bits of rubbish. I saw a toolbox in the control room someplace. I’ll need that when I’m doing my repairs!

Objectives: Fix the motor with the spare parts.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Go into the control room to pick up the tool box on the floor. Then dismount your horse near the elevator motor to begin fixing it. Continue to use the tool box on the motor until the repair is complete.

So! Done! The motor is fixed I think… For now, at least.

Quest completed

______________

Antique Diesel

This tank is filled with hundred-year-old diesel. There’s got to be a can or container of some kind around here somewhere under the snow that I can fill with diesel. That way I can fill up the fuel tank and get the motor going.

Objectives: Find a container in the snow. Fill it with diesel and fill up the elevator motor’s fuel tank.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Search the area for a container. When you have found one, return to the diesel tank to fill up the container. Then take the container and pour it into the giant funnel on the side of the elevator platform.

The fuel tank is now filled with loads of really old diesel.

Quest completed

______________

Is the Elevator Starting?

Now to try starting the elevator using the control panel in the control room…

Objectives: Try starting the elevator using the control panel in the control room.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Go into the control room and try to start the motor. Keep trying to start it until you succeed.

Yay! It works! For how long though, that’s the question… Probably not entirely without risk to ride in that rickety old elevator…

Quest completed

______________

First Ride in a Century…

I need to give the elevator a test run! Come on, Icerunner, let’s go! We can’t stand around here all day!

Objectives: Give the rickety old elevator a test run…

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Dismount your horse near the elevator, then click on the elevator gate to ride. Both sides can take you either up or down, so you do not have to wait for a specific car to take you. Once at the top (or bottom, whichever direction you are going), you can mount your horse again.

This ride in the elevator didn’t exactly feel safe, but we made it in one piece! We were lucky, huh Icerunner? We should stay hopeful that it lasts long enough to give us a few more lifts up and down!

Now, thank goodness, we can move pretty freely between Valedale and the Valley! Woop woop!

Quest completed

______________

The Old Path Reopens!

Now everyone can get to the ancient valley, unless they’re afraid of elevators of course…

Time to tell Elizabeth the good news that the elevator is working!

Icerunner, let’s get out of here before your hooves freeze fast to the ground!

Objectives: Report back to Elizabeth.

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Return to Valedale and tell Elizabeth of your findings.

Hello Rita! Hello Icerunner! Is the lift back in business? I thought I could hear something going on up by the mountainside!

You really think that old thing is safe to travel in?

Quest completed

Treasures Amongst the Snow and Ice

I have a few things to prepare before I can leave. Probably best that we wait until tomorrow…

Mmm… We can’t wait that long, can we?

There are things in that valley that I really, really want… I’ll get everything together right away and get into the valley using the elevator. While I do that, you can ask Avalon if there’s anything in particular he wants us to bring back from the valley, okay?

Okay! Talk to Avalon here in the village, and we’ll meet beneath the elevator!

Objectives: Ask Avalon if he wants anything from the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur.

Rewards: 22 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride over to Avalon’s house across the river, and ask him if there is anything special he would like from the valley.

Hello Rita! So, the frozen old valley is open again? Hmm… Interesting… Very interesting… Elizabeth wonders if I want something brought back?

Very interesting…

Quest completed

______________

Meet Elizabeth in the Winter Mist

I need icenthistles! They grew in the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur long, long ago, and should still be growing there today. It’s a fantastic plant with all kinds of properties that don’t exist in any other plant in the world!

A very interesting plant, if you ask me…

Off you go and meet Elizabeth, and let her know I want icenthistles!

Objectives: Meet Elizabeth in the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur and let her know what Avalon wants.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Return to the valley and meet Elizabeth at the bottom of the elevator.

Icenthistles? I thought as much. A very interesting plant, you know…

But this place! Wow! It’s so cool, right?

Cold…

Almost a kind of unearthly cold, don’t you think? Do you feel it? I’ve never been this cold in my life. This insane cold actually has an explanation, but meteorological and historical lectures can wait for another time! Now we need to get to work before everyone hears about how the valley is accessible again; they’ll swarm here, trampling all over everything and plundering everything of worth…

Quest completed

______________

Gather Ice Crystals

There should be some kind of blue ice crystals in the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur. See if you can find some! They’re incredibly rare and possess mystical powers!

They’re called kallstones. I really want to examine them much more closely. Like I said, they’re super rare, so there’s a chance you might need to look for a while.

Objectives: Find three kallstones for Elizabeth.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Search the area for kallstones. Return to Elizabeth when you have found enough of them.

Oh thank you, Rita! Beautiful examples you’ve found… Maybe they’re not quite so rare after all? Great!

Do you hear that? It’s humming a little bit… It’s full of huge amounts of energy! So, so exciting!

Quest completed

______________

Gathering Icenthistles

Go around and gather icenthistles for me and Avalon. They’re sure to be growing here and there, but hurry and pick them before other explorers come and swipe them, or stomp all over them! They’re so valuable!

Since both me and Avalon want some, it’s best to gather a proper bunch!

Pick a dozen.

Objectives: Pick a dozen icenthistles for Elizabeth (and Avalon).

Overcoming Obstacles

Hmm.. We’re not going to wait around for that ice-blocking ice to melt… Nothing melts here. Let’s help the springtime arrive in a more…

Hmm… In a more explosive way!

Try to find some little pieces of kallstone so that we can use them to explode whatever’s blocking the road. Collect three small kallstones and I’ll meet you down by the end of the road.

Objectives: Find three small kallstones and meet Elizabeth by the ice blockage at the end of the road.

______________

Fire and Ice!

Take that little pile of kallstones and place them on the ground by the ice blockage. Then we’ll back off a little and take shelter behind this log before we set fire to the kallstones.

You can have the honor of doing it if you like.

Here, take this rune staff… When you’re done backing up to take cover, use the staff and concentrate all your magical power to set fire to the little pile of kallstones.

Then, if my calculations are right, it should hopefully be a case of BANG! And the ice is gone!

Objectives: Set the pile of kallstones down by the ice blockage. Then take cover by the log and use the rune staff.

Anyway, now the road ahead is wide open for you! Carry on now and find out where it leads! Go freely to explore the whole Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur! I’m going to head back to Valedale and take a look through the treasures you gathered for us.

Good luck now! You’ll surely find a reason to come visit me again sometime soon… Then you can tell me all about your adventures in the valley!

Nic’s Story

Brr… My main goal with the balloon expedition was to be able to find a secret p-p-place I’ve been looking for my whole life, and I started to get indications that the place in question was in or around the Valley of the Hidden D-D-Dinosaur…

The b-ba-ba-balloon journey unfortunately ended in chaos though. I flew straight over the north of the mountain with the plan to get into the valley from the southwest, but the winds took me straight off course and this thick, white mist made it impossible to see anything.

In any case, I thought that through the gaps in the clouds, I could see a glimpse of a warm and magical place on the ground. I felt the warmth in my heart and tried to steer the balloon towards it but the combination of my sudden change in steering, and the cold, hard winds meant that I soon lost control and went heading straight back down to earth.

In a p-p-panic, I jettisoned my sandbags and dumped all my equipment over the side of the balloon, but it was no use. The balloon smashed right down into the snow and suddenly everything was white.

Brr…!!

Objectives: Listen to Nic.

Quite the tale!

When I came around, I realized I was totally alone and abandoned in a totally unknown spot here in the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur. Lost, I haven’t been able to leave the crash site because it’s simply too dangerous to go out exploring on foot, without any equipment.

You can’t even imagine how t-t-tired, hungry, c-c-co-cold, and exhausted I am.

Quest completed

______________

The Adventurer’s Lost Equipment

To try and get the balloon to stop losing height and float again, I had to throw a load of heavy equipment overboard. It’s possibly lying around here somewhere, possibly covered in the snow that never stops falling here. C-c-can you and your lovely strong horse please help me to find my lost equipment? If you could have a look around and bring it back to me, that would be amazing. I’m far too exhausted to be able to carry anything, and my limbs are so stiff and frozen that I can barely move…

Sandbag Stockpile

I also ditched a whole bunch of sandbags that I had as ba-ba-b-ballast when I was trying to get the balloon to float again. Could you look for them as well after you’ve found my equipment? Thanks, Rita… Brr…

Assemble Nic’s Adventure Tent

Amongst all my adventure kit you found, there should be a tent that I’ve had with me on loads of different expeditions and adventures! Would you please be able to put it up so that I’ve got a safe place to sleep and take shelter? I’ve been sleeping here amongst these fir branches until now, and believe me… It’s been really very cold.

I’m far too f-f-fr-frozen to be able to put the tent up myself. Could you help me? It’s a p-p-pretty c-c-complic-c-cated tent, b-b-but I think you can ma-ma-m-manage.

Objectives: Construct Nic’s tent.

Set up the tent in the indicated area behind Nic, then speak to him again when it is complete. Once the tent is set up, you will be able to sleep overnight in the Valley, to access new clock yellow quests.

A Warming Lantern

It’s so cold, grey, and dark here. C-c-ca-can you help me build a little lantern out of snow so that I can shield this candle I have from the wind? That way it won’t blow out. Build it just here in front of me so that I can warm up my hands and g-g-get a little l-li-light.

Firewood

Nah, it’s no good… Brr… I think we need to think bigger than just a little snow lantern. A proper campfire is what we need! Can you run out and gather some firewood from the forest?

Campfire Cookery

Here now, there’s something just as important as sleep, and that’s food! I’m super hungry, and wouldn’t mind a little help with building a stand over the campfire so that I can hang up this cauldron and let the fire warm up the food from underneath! Can you have a look around for three long, sturdy sticks, then set them together to form a stand over the campfire?

Then hang up this adventure cauldron, hehe!

Are You Sitting Comfortably?

After heat, food, and sleep, I suppose it’s next most important to be able to sit and relax properly. Maybe you could help me build a couple of proper benches here by the campfire? Here, look! A few planks here that look ideal for the job! Grab them and set them on top of the bits of wood already surrounding the fire and then we’ll have a really love pair of benches!

I’ve had a plan in my head for ages to get these benches sorted out, but just haven’t got so far with actually building them. Lucky you’re here to help me!

Objectives: Use the planks to build two benches by the campfire.

File a Report to A.A.E.

At last I can think clearly again! I need to contact A.A.E. and tell them what’s happened. I work for them after all, and they’ve not heard from me since I vanished with the balloon! They must think I’ve disappeared forever.

I have to write a letter. My fingers are still frozen, so can I ask for your help in writing a situation report for them? Right there on the bench should be a nice, even surface for letter writing.

Woah, you’re out adventuring in the Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur?! That’s so cool!! Nic Stoneground is asking for a mailbox at his camp there?

Hmm, you’ve got to have a high enough reputation for us to be able install a mailbox, but Nic’s a legend so of course we can get something sorted out for him. The chiefs at Post Office HQ now want us to split all the mail into incoming and outgoing when we install new mailboxes. Dunno what that’s all about, it just sounds like a lot of fuss to me. Anyway, this means that you’ll need two mailboxes to put up at the camp. Understood?

Guten tag Rita!

Do you know what has happened? We have bought a summer home here on Jorvik! Fantastic isn’t it! We are so unbelievably happy, even we haven’t seen it yet. Bought it without seeing it yet? I know, you should never do that but the estate agent was just so nice and friendly and he promised us that everything would be fine. He bought us coffee and ice cream at the disco and we knew we could just trust him one hundred percent.

Do you think you could help us with the last couple things? Here is the signed contract, we only need to mail it and the deal is done. Can you take it directly to Derek in Silverglade? This is so important, we don’t want to trust it to the regular mail. Imagine if it got lost on the way there?

Great! Come and meet us at the summer cottage later, it is up in Hollow Woods.

Auf wiedershen!

Objectives: Ride to Derek in Silverglade Village and have him post the contract.

A Renovation Project

So Gunther and Helga have bought the cottage in Hollow Woods? Are you sure it was there? The only cottage I know there is the burnt down cottage that the mayor owned.

You are going to meet them in Hollow Woods? You aren’t sure where?

Check at the burnt down cottage first and if you are lucky you will find them there. Or… Lucky for you… Bad luck for them…

Oh no. What are we going to do?

Quest completed

______________

We Have Been Fooled

Verdammt! We have been completely fooled Rita. What should we do? Find the agent? How? I’m sure he is long gone by now.

What did he look like? Very nice in a suit and everything. Mr Kembell was his name. Have you met him before? A real crook you say?! Oh Rita, we are never going to get our money back.

You are going to find him? Oh thank you Rita! Look in Fort Pinta… Maybe you can find some clues as to where he is there.

Quest completed

______________

A Clue

Slimy, dressed in a suit, with an evil grin?

Aha, Mr Kettle! He was nice! He told me he had been a general before, but now he was working as a real estate agent. He wondered if I would be interested in an old army bunker. I have checked with the bank and I could get the money I need! I thought I would sign a contract with him the next time we met, but I haven’t seen him for a while. Imagine Rita, my OWN bunker!

WHAT!! A con-artist? Not the general?!?

That was… How is it possible… Fool me? Are you sure?

Oh, what a traitor! Are you going to catch him? He was sitting in there by the DJ booth and worked with his papers… Look there for clues.

And you… If you find him… Let him know that his is not welcome at this disco as long as I work here!

Objectives: Look for clues about Mr Kembell at the disco. Ride back to Helga if you find anything.

A business card?! Let me have a look.

Quest completed

______________

Mr Kembell’s Office

Let me see…

Look Rita, there is a map on the back of the card. Somewhere south of Firgrove it says. You should look at it yourself and see if you can figure out where he lives.

Please Rita, can you find Mr Kembell and ask if we can take back the sale? That was the last of our savings… He can’t be so evil that he will steal everything we have?

Meet us at the councilman in Firgrove when you have met Mr Kembell… We are going to the councilman to see if he can help.

Objectives: Find Mr Kembell and ask him to reverse the sale to Gunther and Helga.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Fort Pinta

If you think he’s going to be so nice, you obviously don’t know Mr Kembell…

His new house is back by the bear cave in Firgrove.

You can ride the Fire Trail all the way to the end, then follow the trail north into the woods. The same trail goes all the way up to the south end of the sand pit. You can take it from there. Follow the trail past the billboard of Mr Kembell, up to his house.

Oh, good day! Welcome to Mr Kembell’s Estate Agency. Best service in Jorvik! Can I perhaps interest you in a fantastic cottage in Hollow Woods?

Wait a minute… I remember you!

Rita…

Grrr… What are you doing here? Go away!

Quest completed

______________

No Returns

Ha ha ha!

The contract is signed and everything is perfectly legal. There is NOTHING you can do about it this time!

All of their savings? HA HA HA! Serves them right. Stupid tourists!

You are going to speak with the councilman in Firgrove? Good luck! Another thing… When you meet him, let him know that I am here to stay.

Get out of here now before I put the dogs on you! Never come back, do you hear me!

Objectives: Ride over to the councilman in Firgrove and see if he can help to get back the money that Gunther and Helga bought the summer cottage with.

Rewards: 4 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Firgrove

Ride back to Firgrove Village and speak with Mr Franklin about the issue.

Mr Kembell? What an awful man! He completely fooled us when he rented the cottage in the woods outside our village. He said that he was going to start a home for homeless dogs but instead he put barbed wire all the way around the property and brought the most awful, angry dogs I have ever seen. How awful! He also fooled those nice people, Gunther and Helga?

Quest completed

______________

There is Nothing We Can Do

Sigh. Believe me Rita, there is nothing we can do. He is very clever that Mr Kembell. It is very sad to hear that he has fooled Gunther and Helga… They are such nice people and all of Firgrove could use a ray of sunshine like Gretchen to brighten up the place.

I am sorry, Gunther and Helga, if we can’t find evidence that he has done something illegal, there is nothing we can do.

Objectives: Tell Gunther and Helga that they are not going to get their savings back.

We Are All Spies

Wait… Good, nobody can hear us. Come closer Rita, so I can tell you…

We are here as tourists, but that isn’t everything we are… Back home in Germany… Well… We are spies.

Shhh! Nobody can know about it.

Listen. We really want to remain incognito here on vacation and get away from smuggling codes, disarming bombs, or going to exclusive balls with the president, and getting attacked by ninjas. Sometimes we just want to sit on a log and smell the grass… Do you understand?

You can’t tell anyone about this… It is so calm and nice here on Jorvik.

But… We are going to have to take a break from our vacation. We’ll need to use some of our spy techniques to get to the bottom of this little problem with that slimeball Mr Kembell.

If you can find any good hiding places beside his cottage, Helga and I will spy on him and see if we can find any traces of illegal activity.

Meet us at the start of the road to Mr Kembell’s cottage later. Good luck!

Objectives: Ride to Mr Kembell’s cottage and see if you can find any good hiding spots for Gunther, Helga, and Gretchen. Meet the family at the start of the road to Mr Kembell’s cottage later.

Hello Rita. Have you found any good hiding places that you think will work? Great!

Agent Y9 and Agent B2, also known as Helga and Gretchen, Rita, I am Agent B1…

______________

As Thanks for the Help

So nice seeing you again, Rita. I wanted to give you a small gift because you have been so kind and helpful t us at the Manor. Unfortunately I don’t have enough evidence to be able to catch Mr Kembell this time. But may God forgive this man if he tries to vandalize anything here again!

Quest completed

It’s about darn time somebody asked about the South Iron Gate. Let’s go see the Council Man in Silverglade Village about it.

Why is the Gate Still Closed?

I’ll tell you, it is very strange… The gate to Goldenhills Valley is always opened in the spring. Every year around this tie Klaus, the mayor of Cape West Fishing Village, opens the gate. This has never happened before… I bet you would like to know why it is closed in the wintertime?

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

The Council Man will tell you more about the gate.

Well, the gate to Goldenhills Valley has always been closed in the winter because of the mystical snow ghosts and other dangerous winter spirits that rage through that area in the winter. By closing the gate we’ve managed to keep them from intruding in Silverglade. Those spirits are dangerous and can frighten both children and horses… So closing the gate every winter is very important.

Quest completed

______________

Reason for Opening the Gate

I’m not sure how we are going to manage it… Mayor Klaus locks and opens the gate with the Key to the City he always carries around his neck. You might have seen a painting of him in the castle at Silverglade? No? Ride to the castle and look at the painting. It is around to the right inside the door. Who knows… Maybe it will give you an idea for some solution to our problem. I’ll continue to try and find a solution here while you are away.

Objectives: Ride to Silverglade Castle and have a look at the painting of Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go inside the castle doors and turn to the right. The painting is on the wall next to the door.

“The painting shows Mayor Klaus in Goldenhills Valley. The Key to the City is hanging around his neck on a necklace.”

______________

A Fake Idea!

“…The Key to the City that opens the locked gate… Hmm… The painting is very detailed, someone could probably make a copy of the key if… If someone had a copy of the painting!

Objectives: Explain your idea to the Council Man in Silverglade.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Go back to the Council Man and tell him your idea.

So, your idea is that we take a photograph of the key in the painting that someone can use to make a copy of the key… And we can use that copy of the key to open the gate?

That is brilliant!

Quest completed

______________

Question of the Camera

You think you can borrow a camera from James to take a photo of the key in the painting in the castle? Ok, ride to Fort Pinta and ask the little guy!

Objectives: Ask James in Fort Pinta, if you can borrow his camera.

______________

Key Photo

Ok, Rita. You can borrow my camera, just because it is you! But as soon as you are done with the camera please take it to Derek who is working at the post office in Silverglade. Derek also wanted to borrow the camera. I think he might even print out your photo for you! I’ve heard he has the equipment he needs to print out photos at the post office.

Objectives: Go take a photo of the painting in the castle. Leave the camera with Derek at Silverglade’s post office.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go back into the castle to take the picture. Then go to Derek in Silverglade Village.

Aha! I finally get to borrow James’s camera! I’ll have you know I am an excellent photographer. Before I started work here at the post office I used to take pictures for a bunch of the big fashion magazines. Just so you know, it was me who took the first photos of Anne when she went to school in Jorvik. Aha… You want me to print out your photo?

Quest completed

______________

Printed Photo

Of course I’ll print it for you! I’ll do it for free. We normally take 15 Jorvik Shillings per print. Zip! Now it is ready. What a great picture of a… huh… a painted key? So… interesting…

Objectives: Take the photo to the Council Man.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Well, gee, Derek, you don’t have to brag so much. It’s not very becoming of you…

That was fast. And what a great photo! I’ve been standing here thinking about who could possibly make a key with only a photo to go by… But I haven’t come up with anyone. We don’t have a locksmith here… Have you thought of anyone?

Quest completed

______________

Can You Forge a Key?

Aha! I didn’t think of that! You are right. Conrad Marsdeen in Moorland is a well-known master blacksmith. It was great that you thought of him. Take the photo with you and ask him if he could possibly forge us a copy of the key.

If all goes well I’ll wish you luck in Goldenhills Valley. Don’t forget to send my best wishes to Klaus when you ask him why he didn’t open the gate this year.

Objectives: Ask Conrad if he can forge a copy of the key in the photo.

Quest completed

More Iron Ore

I need iron ore to make you a new key. You already know that iron ore is in the Demascus Mine just southwest of here. Take my pickax and ride over to the mine to get me some. When you get back we’ll get started.

______________

A Little Blacksmith’s Apprentice

This might take a while, but if you help me, the first phase of the forging can go smoother. At least you’ll get to practice your smithing skills. Who knows, some day you might be a real blacksmith’s apprentice?

Listen here… Sometimes we need to work the iron on the anvil with the hammer and sometimes we’ll need to heat the iron in the forge with the tongs… And sometimes we’ll need to cool the iron in the bucket with the water.

I’ll tell you which thing we need to do and when. Timing is always important… If we get it wrong we’ll have to start over again. Remember you’ll need to get off your horse when we start forging. And put your horse a little distance off so we have room to work.

Here are the tongs and hammer. Get ready to use them.

Objectives: You need to get off your horse and help Conrad forge the key. Use the tongs and hammer to carry out his instructions. Be careful!

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Conrad will start counting down time. It’s best to keep your inventory window open for this next part.

He will give you three different instructions: heat the iron, work the iron, cool the iron.

Use the tongs on the forge and the water bucket, and use the hammer on the anvil. Use each tool before time runs out. If time does run out, you will have to start the work over again.

When you’re done, speak with Conrad again.

You were a great apprentice, I have to say. I’m sure you could be a great blacksmith someday if you try. Now I’m going to finish the work with the key and then the iron needs to rest until tomorrow to harden properly. Come back tomorrow and the key should be ready.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

The Council Man in Silverglade Village has news for you.

In Your Face Old Man!

Wait, one more thing… There is one more detail that I think needs your attention.

It has taken quite a while, but I have finally gotten the official indictment against G.E.D. The bosses of Jorvik want me to deliver the indictment to Mr Kembell, but I have a lot to do here in the city and I know how much you like to do things that drive Kembell crazy. What could possibly make him more angry than you delivering the indictment to him personally?

Mr Kembell is still glaring at his oil drills north of the Winery, you can find him there.

Objectives: Deliver the indictment against G.E.D. to Mr Kembell who is standing near the oil drills near the Winery.

A Threatening Greeting

Grrr… It says that Jorvik City is charging me with fraud in the tenancy agreement where they think they can prove I have been using stolen oil drilling equipment. Catastrophe and madness! This is all your fault! You win for now… I will run while I can this time. I have found new places I can exploit for their natural resources on this stupid island. And this new place is a long way away from you AND your stupid horse!

Let the Jorvik council know that this is far from over… And when I win in court I’m going to come back here and dynamite Silverglade right off the island! You might be too young to remember, check out what I did to Hill Crest…

This is not the last time you’ll see me Rita…

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

And the award for the biggest crybaby goes to…

Wow, that really got him going. Mr Kembell should remember his blood pressure! Ha ha ha! We’ll have to hope that Jorvik City has what they need to make the charges stick. Mr Kembell is a dangerous man when he is angry and has the law on his side. But it is great to get rid of him for a while. Thank you Rita for your help.

Hill Crest is a sad story… It was once a prosperous town in the mountains south of Moorland that G.E.D. turned into a big hole in the ground… A mess of a dig site for mining. Both the town and the mine have been abandoned for a long time. It was a terrible shame what happened there…

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

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

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

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

Return to Lance tomorrow.

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

The Hole in the Wall is Gone

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

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

See you soon!

What a Fantastic Cellar

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

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

Objectives: Speak with the Baroness.

Rewards: 200 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP, Baroness Coat

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

Oh, gee, you flatter me…

Now, back up into the daylight again.

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

Quest completed

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

Finished With Training

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

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

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

Objectives: Speak with the trainee.

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

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

Goodbye!

Quest completed

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

Marley’s New Idea

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

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

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

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

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

Quest completed

______________

Post with a Plan

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

Say hello to Marley for me and good luck!

Objectives: Bring the rulebook to Marley.

Rewards 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

Take the book back to Marley.

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

Quest completed

______________

Barrels for the Race

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

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

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

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Always a delivery problem. Seriously…

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

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

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

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

Quest completed

Return to Marley tomorrow.

I have not removed the quests from the original days, and I did not separate them ahead of time, because I did not originally plan to have this quest story arc on its own. I am putting them all together in one post so I can link it the Helpful Posts sidebar. I am still getting a lot of questions with these quests specifically. The original posts will still include these quests, this post just has them all pulled into one post.

Enjoy!

Day 12

Snowed in Once Too Often

Hello Rita. Mon Dieu, the winters are terrible! Every year I get snowed in here and I sit in the observatory for months without seeing a single other living thing. Well… maybe lemming or two but that isn’t really the same thing. Sigh… The whole route up here gets covered in snow and ice and avalanches fall almost every day. It is a life threatening trip to get up and down this mountain. Enough! I’m not doing this anymore!

I’ve written to the council in Silverglade to see if they can do anything about this. Yesterday I actually got an answer and the council man in Silverglade wants to speak with me. Can you ride down and see what he has to say? Just imagine if he has a solution to this problem!

Au Revoir Rita! Come see me when you find out what he has to say.

Objectives: Ride down to the councilman in Silverglade and speak with him about Mario.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride back down the trail, back to Silverglade and speak with the councilman.

Good day! Yes, I have been working hard on finding a solution to Mario’s problem. Both on finding a solution and finding a way around the paperwork problems with it. It hasn’t been easy!

I wrote to Mario to let him know that the boss of the construction company we hired to solve the problem is now here in Silverglade. He is waiting in the town square for Mario to come and show him the observatory.

Now that you are here maybe you can help him instead? Go and speak with him Rita, he is standing by the fountain in the town square.

Quest completed

Speak with Buildmaster Olaf, who is standing in front of the fountain, facing the north gate to the village.

Meet the Head of the Construction Company

Are you Mario? Nah… of course you are not. You are Rita. Nice to meet you! I am master-builder Olaf. Such a nice village here… It must be terrible to leave here to go to work. But such is life!

The first thing we need to do is inspect the site to see what we need to do… should we build a tunnel… or a new road… we need to look for the best solution. Take this camera and ride up to North Link where they are digging a tunnel. Find a place to take some pictures where we can see the observatory clearly. While you take some pictures I’ll get a ride up there. We’ll look at your pictures up there and talk about it. I’ll meet you at North Link later.

Objectives: Ride up to North Link and find a good pace to take pictures of the observatory. Take some pictures of the observatory and speak with Olaf again later at North Link.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

You can reach North Link by following the West Jorvik Highway north all the way up to the construction site. It is on the east side of the road.

Once you take the pictures, Olaf can be found on the little side road going off to the west of the main road, by the Baroness’ racing track.

There you are! Now we’ll have a look. Nice pictures!

Quest completed

______________

Foundation for Foundations

I see. Now that I’ve had a chance to think about it I think I know what to do. The mountain is too steep to build and a tunnel would be very expensive. The best choice, in my opinion and I am an engineer so I am right, would be to build a new gondola lift! If we are lucky we can use the foundations from the old line to build a new one. There must be more locations than we see in your pictures. Look for all the old foundations and place GPS locators on them. Once you have put out the GPS locators I can see them on my device here. When I can see the locations we can tell if we can use them or not.

Objectives: Find the old foundations for the old gondola lift and place GPS locators there. Ride back to master builder Olaf when you are done.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The first foundation is across the road. The others are behind the first, north up towards the observatory. There are five of them in total.

Great. Now we’ll check my machine here…

Quest completed

______________

Fire in the Hole!

Hrmmm… The old foundations are no good to us to use. They re too badly built and too damaged to be safe. We need to build new foundations but first we need to get rid of the old ones.

Have you used dynamite before? No? Really? It isn’t hard. Just read this brochure…

“Instructions for Dynamite Use

1. Place the dynamite on what you want to get rid of.

2. Light the dynamite.

3. RUN!!!”

There… now you know as much about dynamite as I do. Blast away all the old broken foundations and we will build new ones. Good luck and be careful!

Objectives: Dynamite away all the old foundations. Speak with Buildmaster Olaf when you are done.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Once you light the dynamite, you’ll have about ten seconds to run like hell. You’ll be safe by the next foundation.

And do not blow yourself up. If you do, you will have to restart the game, as the quest doesn’t reset correctly when you start it over.

Boom boom boom! What a fantastic bunch of explosions! They must have heard that all the way in Firgrove.

Quest completed

______________

Used is Best

I planned, thought some more, then planned some more while you were gone. We need a gondola lift to put up, so I searched and found one from the Alps that we are thinking of buying. It is solid and complete and best of all, cheap!

I’ve written up a purchase order letter. Please ride over to Derek at the post office and ask him to send it.

Objectives: Ask Derek in the Silverglade post office to mail the order for the Gondola Lift.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The post office is in the main square next to the town hall.

Hiya Rita. A letter to the Alps? You are lucky, I was just going to send out all the international mail with the helicopter. Come back tomorrow and maybe you’ll have your answer. These things usually go quickly.

Quest completed

Return to Derek tomorrow.

______________

Day 13

Gondola Lift is Delivered

Answer to the order? Didn’t you see the helicopter?

They flew in a huge helicopter loaded down with all the parts for the gondola lift yesterday.They must have flown all night back and forth to get it all done. They were flying in the direction of North Link so I imagine it has all been delivered directly there.

Ride over there and check it out.

Objectives: Ride and see if you can see where the helicopter landed. It was flying in the direction of North Link.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride up to Olaf and see the gondola delivered.

Yes! It has gone really smoothly Rita. The gondola lift has been delivered. Fantastic!

Quest completed

______________

We Are Missing an Excavator

The gondola lift was the most important thing, but of course we need a few more things too. This is the first time I’ve worked in Jorvik so I don’t know all the local builders here yet. I’ve spoken a bit with the guys digging the tunnel down there and we might be able to borrow the equipment we need from them.

The first thing we need is an excavator so we can level the ground where the new station will be built. Ride over and see if we can borrow their excavator.

Objectives: Speak with the builders at North Link and see if they will lend us an excavator.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Speak with the Crew Lead, back by the tunnel.

An excavator?

Quest completed

______________

Zombie Horses vs Excavators

Excavator… I only have one you know… but you can borrow my excavator if you help me with something. We have a lot of free time up here so I have a lot of time to spend on my favorite hobby, video games! Right now I don’t have any good games… but there is a game I really, really want to play right now… it might be the best horse game EVER! The problem is I can’t seem to find it here on the island.

Somebody has to have it! Zombie Horse Pole Bending Apocalypse is what it is called. Find me a copy of that game and you can borrow my excavator.

Like I said, I have no idea who might have a copy of it. Maybe someone who is interested in Pole Bending?

Objectives: Find someone who is interested in Pole Bending and see if they have a copy of Zombie Horse Pole Bending Apocalypse.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

There is one person in Moorland who likes Pole Bending, a lot. Josh. He’s at the track behind the Bobcat Girls paddock.

Zombie Horse Pole Bending Apocalypse? I have that… or at least I used to have a copy.

Quest completed

______________

Lost Zombies Horses

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…

Objectives: Ride to Jasper’s old house and look in the attic for the Zombie Horse Bending Apocalypse video game.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

At Jasper’s house, dismount your horse and click on the door, and you’ll go up into the attic. Search for the game there.

Whose Hat is That?

You remember that hat, who was wearing it?

Objectives: Find the owner of the hat.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

The hat looks strangely like James’ hat…

Hello Rita! Hey, that’s my hat! I lost it a few days ago, where did you find it? At Jasper’s old house? It’s good that I sell those hats so I never have to be without one. But it was nice of you to ride all the way back here to return it.

Zombie Horse Pole Bending Apocalypse? I have that… or I used to have it.

Quest completed

______________

Video Game All Day

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.

Objectives: Speak with Ms Morse about Zombie Horse Pole Bending Apocalypse.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

On the Way to the Top

Ms Morse? Yes she lives here in Firgrove. But she isn’t here now. Yesterday I saw her ride out of here faster than the wind. Her horse was packed with pole-bending poles… I’ve never seen her so riled up about anything. She screamed “Yeehaw!!!” when she saw me and rode up through the mountain pass towards Valedale lake.

Objectives: Ride through the mountain pass to Valedale lake and look for Ms Morse.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

Quest completed

______________

Pole Bending Apocalypse

Woohoo! What a game! Zombie Horse Pole Bending Apocalypse!!! I’ve been up playing all night and when the sun came up I knew I had to make a proper Pole Bending Apocalypse race… just like in the game!

But now I’m non sure it is a good idea… Now that the course is done, and I’ve calmed down a little, the course actually looks… Well it looks really dangerous actually. I don’t think I would be able to ride it myself.

You want to have the game? Oh… I don’t know… it was so much fun. Tell you what, if you can manage to ride my pole bending course I’ll give you the game as a reward.

Objectives: Ride the Pole Bending Apocalypse race.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

We Need Concrete

Now the trees are gone. Now it is time to build the foundations. Finally! Concrete is what we need! Pick up the concrete bags over there. What? Oops. I seem to have forgotten the concrete… I was so concerned about the excavator that I forgot to order the concrete. Can you ride down to North Link and ask the guys if they have any extra concrete?

Advice From the 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

Hey, Steve is on Steve’s farm, imagine that. Huh.

Gondola Lift is Delivered

Answer to the order? Didn’t you see the helicopter?

______________

Lost Zombies Horses

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…

Zombie Horse Pole Bending Apocalypse? I have that… or I used to have it.

Quest completed

______________

Video Game All Day

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.

Hi Rita! What an adventure you’ve had! It’s great that some things seem to be in order, but I can sense that new problems are approaching. I don’t have any news about my son Justin yet, and we’re still looking for him. So far we have no clues but we aren’t giving up hope.

By the way, I heard that James has trouble with some lost tourists at Fort Pinta. Can you please ride to James and see if he needs any help? Thanks for everything and have a nice day, Rita!

Objectives: Talk to James at Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Fort Pinta

Ride to Fort Pinta and see what James has trouble with.

Oh, hi! It’s nice to see you again. I’m having a hard time right now… You know, I run this stable and hire out horses for tourists but now three tourists have disappeared!

Quest completed

After this point, you will no longer get the orange hints on your map as to where you have to go with your quests. You will have to pay more attention to the clues given by the quests as everything won’t be so obvious.

Hunt for Tourists

This is what happened… Three tourists hired horses from me and went out for a ride, but they haven’t returned. They’re not very experienced riders so I gave them my most sweet-natured horses, but I’m worried that something has happened or that they have gotten lost.

They should’ve taken the trail past Doyle’s Abbey straight to the north and then continued northeast to Silverglade Castle via Steve’s farm. Please, start looking at Doyle’s Abbey.

Objectives: Search for the tourists, start looking at Doyle’s Abbey.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta

The first tourist can be found immediately off the road, behind Doyle’s Abbey, before you get to the cross-roads.

Guten tag young miss! My name is Gunther! Yes, I’m one of the tourists that hired horses at Fort Pinta. Where is my horse and the others, you ask? You could say I’m also wondering about that…

Quest completed

______________

The Horse That Ran Away

We were out riding and had a nice trip until my horse suddenly spotted a huge bumblebee and went completely nuts! He ran off with me barely hanging on around his neck and apparently my family couldn’t keep up with me.

Suddenly the horse stopped, I fell off and the horse ran away. Can you help me find it and bring it back to me so I can ride to Fort Pinta?

I’m sure that the horse is nearby. I thought I heard it neighing around the eastern side of the abbey ruins.

Objectives: Find the horse that Gunther lost around Doyle’s Abbey and bring it back to him.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta

The horse is inside the Abbey wall, all the way on the other side of the ruins, towards Jarl’s Tomb.

Pat the horse and lead/follow it back to Gunther.

Splendid! There’s the nice little horse. Thank you for your help, now I can ride back to Fort Pinta by myself.

Quest completed

______________

One Saved, Two Remain

My wife and daughter, Helga and Gretchen, must’ve thought that I could take care of myself and continued the ride without me. Go to Steve’s farm and to the castle to see if you can find them. I’ll return to Fort Pinta and tell James what’s happened so he doesn’t have to worry. You are more capable of riding around and looking for them than I am so I think this is the best solution.

Objectives: Look for the other tourists at Steve’s farm.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta

The other two tourists can be found on the edge of the field behind the barn at Steve’s farm.

Hello, my name is Helga! You’re out looking for us? And you have found Gunther too, that’s good! We could really use some help. My daughter Gretchen’s horse is stuck in a hold in the ground and we can’t get him out.

Quest completed

______________

Borrow a Shovel

The horse stepped into one of these deep holes and can’t get loose. I wonder where all those dangerous holes come from… They’re bad for the horses, they are.

Oh, you know Steve who has the farm over there? Do you think you can borrow a shove from him? That’s wonderful. Borrow the shovel so we can free the horse.

Objectives: Borrow a shovel from Steve. His farm is to the east of Silverglade Village, close to the field.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta.

Ask Steve for a shovel, he’s sure to oblige.

Oh, you want to borrow a shovel? It’s bad news that there are holes in the ground that can be dangerous for both people and animals.

Quest completed

______________

Dig a Hole

Take this shovel and help the poor tourists, but be careful so you don’t harm the horse! Bring back the shovel when you’re done and tell me what happened.

Objectives: Use Steve’s shovel and dig a hole so the tourists’ horse can get loose. It’s on the field close to Steve’s farm.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 55 with Fort Pinta

Oh, Steve. Always concerned about the animals.

Go up into the field to free the horse. You have to be dismounted to use the shovel.

Well done! Thanks for your help. Now we can return to Fort Pinta.

Quest completed

______________

Return the Shovel to Steve

Thanks for helping us. While you return the shovel to Steve we’ll ride back to Fort Pinta and retunite with Gunther. Maybe we’ll see you there later? We’ll tell James how kind you’ve been to us.

Objectives: Return to Steve’s farm, give Steve the shovel and tell him what happened.

Rewards: 13 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 65 with Fort Pinta

Update Steve about the holes after you return his shovel.

Thanks for helping them! What a relief that the horse wasn’t hurt, it could have ended really badly.

Quest completed

______________

On Field Scouting

So you’re telling me that these holes are everywhere? They’ll destroy my crops and they’re dangerous for the horses. Imagine what would happen if more horses get stuck? Maybe we won’t be so lucky next time…

Someone or something must have dug those holes and they’re too large to be made by mice…

Can you scout the area for a while and see if you can find anything suspicious? You can sit by the feeding station next to the holes. Report back to me if you see anything.

Objectives: Search for the origin of the holes in the field close to Steve’s farm. Sit by the feeding site close to the holes.

Rewards: 17 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

Scout by the feedbox. Now you’re like a regular spy…

Nothing? Nothing at all? Oh no… You think you’re too visible out in the open and that whatever is making these holes will stay hidden as long as you’re there? Maybe you’re right. Let’s think about how you can watch the field without being seen.

Quest completed

______________

Can I Borrow Your Telescope?

I know! Ride up to Mario at the observatory and ask him if you can use the large telescope! With that you can watch the field without anyone knowing you’re there.

The observatory is in the mountains north of Hollow Woods. It’s easiest to ride along the north side of the forest and follow the road which starts there.

Objectives: Ride up to the observatory, it’s in the mountains to the north. There is a path north of Hollow Woods that will lead you there. Talk to Mario about borrowing the telescope.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

This trail connects to the road leading to Valedale. Follow the road past the windmill north, and the trail starts at the big curve in the road right before Valedale. It’s off the left hand side (riding towards Valedale) and can be a little hard to see.

Hello, yes, I’m Mario. You said your name was Rita? What a cute name. What a fantastic horse you have! Brave of you to ride up the difficult path. Welcome to the Archeological and Astronomical Society of Jorvik Observatory. The observatory has a giant telescope we use to look at the stars.

Quest completed

Return to Mario tomorrow to continue this story line.

Collect Fallen Stars

Hm. I’m very busy here, as you can see. Important things are happening in the sky. But maybe you can help me? Yesterday night I saw that some beautiful shootings stars and fragments of stardust landed close to the observatory. I can’t get to them in this difficult terrain, but you have a horse and you’re such a good rider so I know that you’ll be able to find them

Can you please collect six star stones for me? I think you can find fragments all round the mountain on which the observatory stands.

Objectives: Find six star stones in the mountains around the observatory and give them to Mario.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

The star stones can be found on the ground across the bridge and down the hill from the bridge. They’re small but send up little puffs of star dust that can help you find them in the grass.

Return to Mario when you have found six of them.

Look at them! Exciting! Can you believe they come from outer space and you’re the first human to touch them? It’s breathtaking. I’ll examine them later.

______________

Snowed in Once Too Often

Hello Rita. Mon Dieu, the winters are terrible! Every year I get snowed in here and I sit in the observatory for months without seeing a single other living thing. Well… maybe a lemming or two but that isn’t really the same thing. Sigh… The whole route up here gets covered in snow and ice and avalanches fall almost every day. It is a life threatening trip to get up and down this mountain. Enough! I’m not doing this anymore!

I’ve written to the council in Silverglade to see if they can do anything about this. Yesterday I actually got an answer and the Councilman in Silverglade wants to speak with me. Can you ride down and see what he has to say? Just imagine if he has a solution to this problem!

Au Revoir Rita! Come see me when you find out what he has to say.

Objectives: Ride down to the Councilman in Silverglade and speak with him about Mario.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride back down the trail, back to Silverglade and speak with the Councilman.

Good day! Yes, I have been working hard on finding a solution to Mario’s problem. Both on finding a solution and finding a way around the paperwork problems with it. It hasn’t been easy!

I wrote to Mario to let him know that the boss of the construction company we hired to solve the problem is now here in Silverglade. He is waiting in the town square for Mario to come and show him the observatory.

Now that you are here maybe you can help him instead? Go and speak with him Rita, he is standing by the fountain in the town square.

Quest completed

Speak with Buildmaster Olaf, who is standing in front of the fountain, facing the north gate to the village.

Meet the Head of the Construction Company

Are you Mario? Nah… of course you are not. You are Rita. Nice to meet you! I am master-builder Olaf. Such a nice village here… It must be terrible to leave here to go to work. But such is life!

The first thing we need to do is inspect the site to see what we need to do… should we build a tunnel… or a new road… we need to look for the best solution. Take this camera and ride up to North Link where they are digging a tunnel. Find a place to take some pictures where we can see the observatory clearly. While you take some pictures I’ll get a ride up there. We’ll look at your pictures up there and talk about it. I’ll meet you at North Link later.

Objectives: Ride up to North Link and find a good pace to take pictures of the observatory. Take some pictures of the observatory and speak with Olaf again later at North Link.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

You can reach North Link by following the West Jorvik Highway north all the way up to the construction site. It is on the east side of the road.

Once you take the pictures, Olaf can be found on the little side road going off to the west of the main road, by the Baroness’ racing track.

There you are! Now we’ll have a look. Nice pictures!

Quest completed

______________

Foundation for Foundations

I see. Now that I’ve had a chance to think about it I think I know what to do. The mountain is too steep to build and a tunnel would be very expensive. The best choice, in my opinion and I am an engineer so I am right, would be to build a new gondola lift! If we are lucky we can use the foundations from the old line to build a new one. There must be more locations than we see in your pictures. Look for all the old foundations and place GPS locators on them. Once you have put out the GPS locators I can see them on my device here. When I can see the locations we can tell if we can use them or not.

Objectives: Find the old foundations for the old gondola lift and place GPS locators there. Ride back to master builder Olaf when you are done.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The first foundation is across the road. The others are behind the first, north up towards the observatory. There are five of them in total.

Great. Now we’ll check my machine here…

Quest completed

______________

Fire in the Hole!

Hrmmm… The old foundations are no good to us to use. They’re too badly built and too damaged to be safe. We need to build new foundations but first we need to get rid of the old ones.

Have you used dynamite before? No? Really? It isn’t hard. Just read this brochure…

“Instructions for Dynamite Use

1. Place the dynamite on what you want to get rid of.

2. Light the dynamite.

3. RUN!!!”

There… now you know as much about dynamite as I do. Blast away all the old broken foundations and we will build new ones. Good luck and be careful!

Objectives: Dynamite away all the old foundations. Speak with Buildmaster Olaf when you are done.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Once you light the dynamite, you’ll have about ten seconds to run like hell. You’ll be safe by the next foundation.

And do not blow yourself up. If you do, you will have to restart the game, as the quest doesn’t reset correctly when you start it over.

Boom boom boom! What a fantastic bunch of explosions! They must have heard that all the way in Firgrove.

______________

Used is Best

I planned, thought some more, then planned some more while you were gone. We need a gondola lift to put up, so I searched and found one from the Alps that we are thinking of buying. It is solid and complete and best of all, cheap!

I’ve written up a purchase order letter. Please ride over to Derek at the post office and ask him to send it.

Objectives: Ask Derek in the Silverglade post office to mail the order for the Gondola Lift.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The post office is in the main square next to the town hall.

Hiya Rita. A letter to the Alps? You are lucky, I was just going to send out all the international mail with the helicopter. Come back tomorrow and maybe you’ll have your answer. These things usually go quickly.

Quest completed

Return to Derek tomorrow.

The next person that needs help is Marley. He is on the road between Silverglade Village and the Winery.

A Permission for Marley

Hello! I’m Marley. I’m so happy that someone came by. You see, I have some problems but maybe you can help me? So here’s the thing, I ordered this fantastic paddock at J-Buy.com, isn’t it amazing? Anyway, it seems that you need all kinds of papers, documents and permissions when you build something like this, who would’ve known? So, I wonder if you can ride to Silverglade Village and talk to someone in the council and ask them to write the papers I need. Without them I don’t dare continue building this wonderful track I have planned.

Objectives: Ride to the council in Silverglade Village and get the documents so Marley can use his paddock.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Speak with the Councilman in Silverglade about the documents.

A new paddock. Not my area of expertise, sorry, you need to see my colleague Mr Bucket. But unfortunately he isn’t here right now.

Quest completed

______________

Looking for Mr Bucket

If you really need this document right now I think it’s best if you try to meet Mr Bucket at once. He’s been away for a couple of days now, trying to find evidence that the construction workers at the North Link are using illegal means to build the tunnel.

Ride to the tunnel construction site at the North Link, north of the Everwind fields, if you want tofind him. I’m sure he stands on top of a hill so he can see what’s going on. Follow the road going north from the village.

Objectives: Ride to the construction site outside the North Link, north of the Everwind fields, and find Mr Bucket. Follow the road to the north.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Mr Bucket stands on top of the hill at the north end of the West Jorvik Highway. The hill is east of the road and right next to the entrance to the construction site.

Shhhh, try to be quiet…

Quest completed

______________

GED – o – Gel

Permission to build a paddock. Yes well, that’s not very important right now! I suspect that the workers down there are using GED – o – Gel, a very hazardous industrial adhesive, to seal the walls of the tunnel.

I have an idea. If you can find proof that I’m right I’ll give you those documents right away. Away you go! Look among the containers below the hill, I think they’re hiding the packaging there.

Objectives: Find proof that the construction workers are using GED – o – Gel for the tunnel. Search among the containers.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Go down to the construction site and search in the big shipping containers for proof.

Return to Mr Bucket when you have found it.

I knew it! Those insidious crooks are using prohibited substances to be able to build faster. If it leaks out into the nature it can pollute everything around here for hundreds of years. But I’ll teach them a lesson, you’ll see. This will delay their construction by a day or two before their army of lawyers find new loopholes in the contract.

Quest completed

______________

The Paddock is Ready

Ok, here are the documents you needed. I wrote them while you were away. Good job by the way, if I didn’t mention it earlier.

Ride carefully on your way back to Marley.

Objectives: Return to Marley with the documents. Marley is at the new paddock outside Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Marley will be glad with these documents.

Really, Rita? That was fast! Thanks a lot, but I have more problems… I have to think this over, come back later so we can talk some more.

Quest completed

______________

Paddock Control

Hi Rita, you’ll never believe me when I tell you this. You need a permission if you want to arrange competitions. Can you help me with this?

Ride to the Vineyard and see if you can find my brother Carney. He’s a licensed equestrian competition inspector and can help me with this. Ask him to come over right away and approve my paddock.

Objectives: Ride to the vineyard and talk to Carney.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Carney is still up at the Winery by the stables.

Oh, yeah, I’m a licensed equestrian competition inspector. Marley said that I should go over to him and approve his paddock? Hmph! You don’t talk like that to your older brother. I’ll come when I have time, right now I have to do some very important things!

Quest completed

Return to Marley tomorrow.

Donald the tailor would like to speak with you. Go see him in Silverglade Village.

Do You Want a Nice Riding Jacket?

Hello Rita! I’d like to thank you since you’ve been so kind and fetched wool for me every day. If you can get some dye for my wool I can sew nice riding vest as a thank you! Can you do that for me?

Objectives: Get a vest tailored.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

Tell Donald that you would indeed like a nice jacket.

How fun! I’m looking forward to making a nice vest for you!

Quest completed

______________

All the Colors of the Rainbow

To be able to make this vest I need dye for the wool. I need blue, pink, red, green and purple. I’ve heard about some special flowers growing in Valedale, they contain a lot of pink pigment with a unique luster. You can ask Elizabeth in Valedale Village if she can help you.

Objectives: Ride to Valedale Village and talk to Elizabeth, ask her if she can help you find the flowers to extract dye.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

The best way to get to Valedale is the road past the windmill, all the way up to Valedale.

Hello Rita! If I can extract pink color from the flowers of Aideen? Of course! The flowers have a lot of special qualities, but I only want you to pick the ones that are withered. It won’t affect the color pigment and we preserve the protected, fresh flowers.

Quest completed

______________

Collect Flowers of Aideen

I need eight withered flowers to make this dye, look around in the forest and you’ll find them soon enough. You can only pick the withered ones. This flower is protected and the pigment is good even if the flower is withered.

Objectives: Pick withered flowers of Aideen. The flowers grow in the forest west of Valedale. You can only pick the withered ones!

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

The flowers can be found mainly in the cow field across from Sophie, down the road.

Return to Elizabeth when you have collected the flowers.

Thanks for the flowers! Now I can make the dye for you. It’ll take a while so come back tomorrow when it’s ready.
