An Acquaintance from the Past

Hey Rita!

During the night I thought a lot about how we will find Carl and I think I have an idea.

I got to know a lady called Anastasia Silverglade when I was working as a lawyer in L.A. She was one of my clients and if there was ever someone who knew how to get hold of something, it was her.

She was born here in Jorvik and I heard a few years ago that she was going to move back to her old apartment here.

But she knows everyone and as we don’t have anything to go on when it comes to Carl, aside from his name and license number, I think we should start asking Anastasia if she can help us.

Objectives: Talk to Erik.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Jorvik City

So how do we find the lady that will help us find the guy?

I tried doing a search on her name but it seems as if she’s still at her old apartment, so I suggest we go there. Hopefully she knows how we can do a search on the license plate.

Quest completed

______________

Governor’s Fall

Are you ready to go Rita?

Anastasia will be living at Governor’s fall – if she hasn’t moved. But when I tried doing a search for her on my cellphone, it looked as if she was still living there, so I think we should go there and hope for the best.

If there is anyone who can help us, it’s her.

Objectives: Go to Governor’s Fall where Anastasia lives.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik City

Take the bus to Governor’s Fall and follow Erik and Madison over to Anastasia’s apartment.

See, it seems she still lives here. There’s an A. Silverglade on the fourth floor.

Quest completed

______________

Is There Anyone Home?

Shall we try ringing the doorbell to see if she is home?

Objectives: Ring the doorbell to see if Anastasia is home.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 25 with Jorvik City

You ring the bell, but there is no answer.

So typical! Do you think we should try some of her neighbors?

Quest completed

______________

Did You Hear That?

Dad! Rita! Did you hear that? What is going on there?

Objectives: Try and find out what is happening?

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik City

A small dog wearing a tutu runs past, and a young man in a suit chases after. Oh dear…

(Huffing and puffing…)

Come back here you damned little rat!

Quest completed

______________

The Failed Worker

(Huffing and puffing…)

What happened? That little mutt stole my boss’ lunch! I’m totally going to get fired! What am I going to do? Help!

You don’t understand! This is my first week on the job and right on the first day everything has gone wrong. In the end, my boss told me to go and buy him some food, at least that I should be able to do…

I have to buy new food… But I don’t have any money with me… He will get super mad if I come back to work without his lunch…

Sob.

What? Do you want to help me?

My hero! Sob. I didn’t think there were such nice people. Sob.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if you’re fast enough to catch the dog…

Objectives: Catch the dog and get the food back.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 35 with Jorvik City

Madison reassures Oliver of your dog catching abilities but Erik, of course, is not sure.

Rita is super fast! Of course she can catch it. I will help you!

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

But we have to find Anastasia…

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

But what about the dog? We have to help. You always say that we should help each other!

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

Sigh. Okay then. Let’s try to catch this dog then…

Thankfully you don’t have to chase the dog. He runs around the central block of the ice cream parlor in a counter clockwise direction. Stand on the sidewalk and wait for him to run past to catch him. Return to Oliver when you have caught the dog.

Boohoo!! Sob.

Thank you! You are awesome! You’ve saved my day.

Quest completed

______________

Prince Charming

Thank you so much for your help! You have no idea what this means to me!

As for you, Prince Charming, shame on you! I will most certainly have a talk with Anastasia the next time I see her.

You wonder if I know Anastasia Silverglade? Well, I used to be her neighbor. Now I live just a few blocks from here.

It’s her dog, she has no control over it at all. Once she sat with him at a coffee shop with a latte and thought that would work as a dogsitter.

Really? So you say you are looking for Anastasia?

Haha. Of course she isn’t home, she is probably shopping for shoes at the mall.

Sorry, but I really have to hurry back to work with my boss’ lunch. But thanks for your help. If you are going to Anastasia, could you take Prince Charming with you so he doesn’t steal anyone else’s food.

Thanks so much! Bye!

Objectives: Talk to Madison.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik City

See, Erik the Party Pooper, catching the dog was the right thing to do. We now know where Anastasia is.

Hehe. Prince Charming is so cute! Do you think he knows any commands? Like sit? Or play dead?

Quest completed

______________

That It Would Be So Much Trouble

Sigh. I never thought it could be so much work to return a suitcase…

No, Madison! We are not going to skip returning it. What do I always say? You should always do the right thing. In this case, the right thing is to see that poor Carl gets his suitcase back. There might be something really important in it that he needs.

Rita, if you take… Prince Charming – isn’t that the dog’s name? Then we can go straight to the mall again.

Objectives: Take Prince Charming to Anastasia in the mall.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik City

Head to the mall and find Anastasia in the clothes store on the first floor of the mall, all done up in her designer sweatpants and smug facelift.

Prince Charming! There you are, boy! You won’t believe what I’ve found! I need help deciding which of these two pairs of shoes I should get.

Quest completed

______________

Girl, Hey You, Yeah You

Oh? What do you think, boy? Should I take the white or the pink shoes? This is what I think, the white ones would be perfect for a Las Vegas wedding, while the pink ones are cute and flirty for a beach romance.

Objectives: Get a pair of black shoes for Anastasia.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik City

Erik tries to get her attention but it seems she is busy at the moment…

Oh… Anastasia? Hi!

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

Prince Charming? What are these?

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

Haha, you don’t remember me? Erik Hightower? L.A.?

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

ERIK! Darling! Of course it is you! How are you? I scarcely recognized you without a suit. Haha. You seem… To not be wearing expensive clothes anymore.

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

Haha, there is no point in me running around in expensive suits at the moment. But hey, there’s something entirely different that I want to ask you.

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

Darling, let me interrupt you quickly. Girl, you, hey you. Yes, what is your name? Rita?

Out of the three of your, you seem to be the one with the lease sense of fashion. Would you be a darling and go get those pink shoes in black instead?

Apparently your lack of fashion sense does not make you qualified to talk to Anastasia. Prove to her that you know a little bit, and fetch her the shoes she requested from the shelf.

Magnifique! Merci cherie!

Quest completed

______________

Darling, What Happened?

Oh you poor thing, I feel bad that you have to live like that. I mean, what happened? You were such a talented lawyer.

But you said that you wanted to ask a favor?

Objectives: Listen to Anastasia.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik City

Erik elucidates on the situation.

Exactly! You see, I’m looking for the owner of a suitcase. And the only thing I have is a license plate number. I know that you’re, at least you used to be, in the know.

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

Darling, you disappoint me and Prince Charming. Who am I?

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

Oh… Anastasia?

Not just Anastasia, I am Anastasia Silverglade, darling. I know who can help you. You should talk with my brother, Aaron Silverglade. He will no doubt be able to help you find the one you are looking for.

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

Thanks so much, where can we find him?

Anastasia’s brother can be found in Governor’s Fall.

Thank you so much Anastasia! We’re going to talk with your brother, so take care of yourself.

Bye!

Quest completed

______________

Welcome to Leonardo’s Ice Cream Parlor!

Come on, we should get going at once. I just want this to be over so we can return the bag and go home.

No Madison! I am not going to listen to you now. We are going to Governor’s Fall where Leonardo’s Ice Cream Parlor is.

Objectives: Go to Leonardo’s Ice Cream Parlor.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik City

Take the bus to Governor’s Fall and meet Erik and Madison inside Leonardo’s.

Oh! It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Leonardo’s. It’s really nice here!

Quest completed

______________

An Unknown Look

Then it’s just the question of who Aaron is? I didn’t even think to ask Anastasia what he looked like. It think it’s best that we split up. Hopefully there’s someone here who knows who Aaron Silverglade is.

Objectives: Find Aaron Silverglade at Leonardo’s.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Jorvik City

Aaron is the pudgy budget attorney looking man in the suit standing at a tall table in the back next to the jukebox.

Um, hi there.

If you are from the Jorvik Gazette, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to book time for an interview.

Quest completed

______________

Help Aaron with the Presentation

Oh, so you’re not from the Jorvik Gazette, you say?

Excuse me, what is the best way to start a speech? “Ladies and gentlemen,” “Dear citizens,” or maybe “Hey, what’s up”?

I think it might sound a little more hip if you say “Hey, what’s up”?

Oh, you’ll have to excuse me, I completely forgot to greet you! Or maybe I already introduced myself?

Oh, your name is Rita? Nice to meet you!

What about the end of the speech? Should you say “That’s all for me,” “Catch you later,” or maybe just “Goodbye”?

Did you say you need help finding a license plate? I’m happy to help you but first I need to sort our this speech. And right now I feel completely lost as to how I should do it.

If maybe you could help me out?

That’s actually a really good idea! I can stop working on the speech so you get the chance to add what sounds best!

Thanks a lot!

Objectives: Help Aaron prepare his speech.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 35 with Jorvik City

Fill in Aaron’s speech however you feel best. Do you think it should be formal and professional, or hip and trendy to appeal to the younger generation? You decide!

This… This will be a fantastic speech. Thanks Rita!

Quest completed

______________

A Password Must Be Suuuper Hard

You want to know if I can help you find the owner of a car with this license plate? It is a tricky question. It all depends, you see. I have this computer, but it won’t be of much help, I’m afraid.

Sorry, you don’t understand my answer? Oh…

What I mean is that I would really like to help but the circumstances make it difficult.

What circumstances?

Hard to say. As I said, it all depends on the circumstances.

Oh… Maybe I was a little unclear. What I’m saying that, I, in the current situation can’t get into the computer. I wouldn’t say that I have forgotten the password. I just lost it. Temporarily.

So unfortunately I can’t get into the computer. Otherwise I would have been happy to help you.

Objectives: Hack into Aaron’s computer using GEMO.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 45 with Jorvik City

Madison gets his attention. She has an idea how you can help Aaron get into his computer.

But I know a way around your password!

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

You do? Tell me! This is so exciting!

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

GEMO can do it! I downloaded a program for him that should bypass the password. Hehe, I tested it on Dad’s computer and it worked. Even though I already knew Dad’s password.

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

Oh, but Madison!

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

Hehe. You only have yourself to blame when you use “Madison” as your password. You know that a password should be suuuper hard? So that no one can figure it out!

I saw it in a spy movie. The spy had a password that was made of numbers, letters, and special characters! The movie was really exciting! We watched it together, Dad, remember?

Yes, that one, sure… But how does the GEMO work for this?

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

Dead easy! Just plug it in and then the program starts working, bypassing the security. But it is really hard… Rita, maybe you can help me? Here! Take the GEMO so you can connect it to Aaron’s computer.

GEMO will show on its screen which button to click on the control pad.

If the arrow shows green, click the same button.

If the arrow shows red, click the opposite button.

Click the arrows as they appear until you have discovered Aaron’s password and unlocked his computer.

How did you do that? I thought I would have to buy a new computer! Thanks so much Rita! Now I’m gonna try to change the password to something else that I will remember.

Quest completed

______________

How You Do That? You Type!

There, now you can use my computer to search for the license plate.

How do you do that?

You type.

You wonder which program to use to do a search? Erm, ahh… You search? And to search, you type. It’s there on the computer.

Maybe I’m a little unclear again. There, now I have opened the program that you should use. Now just enter the license plate number you want to search for and you will get the answer later.

Objectives: Enter the license plate number.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Jorvik City

Use Aaron’s computer to search the license plate number. Read the results that you have discovered.

Owner: The vehicle is owned by FHI AB, but is currently registered to the employee, Carl Edelman, address: Sjömansgatan 32, 17352. The company purchased it 3 years ago. There may be other vehicles registered to the same person.

Model: JC499I

License plate number: SASSA 1105

Status: In traffic

Last inspected: XXXX

Insurance: Calculated price 1503 JC

Transmission: Manual

Top speed: 250 km/h

Quest completed

______________

You Have the Address

You wonder where Sjömansgatan 32 is? Um, ahh. It is really obvious! You have the address there. It’s located at that address with that number.

You wonder how to get there? Yes, maybe you can take the tram. It’s supposed to be very cozy. Otherwise you can walk.

What I’m trying to say is that I don’t have a clue where that address is, I’m afraid.

I wish I could be of help but unfortunately I have to focus on practicing my speech now.

Good luck! Hope you find what you are looking for.

Objectives: Talk to Erik.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik City

Tell Erik you have found the address but you don’t know where it is.

Hmm… How are we going to find this address? Maybe I can try doing a search for it on my cellphone.

Quest completed

______________

Back to the Shoe Shopper

Hmm… I’ve found nothing.

Should we go back to the mall and ask Anastasia?

Good idea Rita!

Madison, don’t be so grumpy. Let’s go to the mall now. The faster we can give this suitcase back, the faster we can get home.

Objectives: Go to Anastasia in the mall.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 25 with Jorvik City

Take the bus back to the mall and find Anastasia in the clothes store.

Just a second, darling. I just need to pay for my shoes.

Quest completed

______________

Latte Time

So, what can I do for you?

Just a second, these shoes are perfect! Thank you for helping me find them. I LOVE them! They will be perfect for the collection! You can have my old shoes if you want. I don’t use them anyway.

It’s really late. I think it’s time for a latte. What do you think Prince Charming? Would you rather have a cappuccino or a latte?

Darling, do you want anything?

Did you say you want to find an address?

…Seriously? Darling, I had actually hoped that you would ask something else. Sigh.

What address is this then?

Objectives: Talk to Anastasia.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP, Anastasia’s Old Shoes

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik City

Tell Anastasia the address you are looking for.

Sjömansgatan 32? Of course I know where it is, you couldn’t find a more boring place.

I would love to be of help, but as I said, it’s time for a latte and then I have booked time at the salon. But what about the same time, same place tomorrow?

Now Prince Charming and I are going to the cafe. Au revoir!

Quest completed

______________

Do Not Give Up on Nightdust

Sigh. I really don’t like that we have to stay here for another day…

But what choice do we have?

Me and Madison will go back to our hotel. Hopefully we will get hold of Carl tomorrow.

Objectives: Talk to Madison.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik City

Madison has one last thing to tell you before you leave.

Rita, I thought of something… Do you think Nightdust is feeling okay?

You think so? Can you promise me one thing Rita?

Even if I can’t keep looking for Nightdust tomorrow, you must not give up.

Thanks. Now I have to go before Dad starts nagging even more. See you tomorrow!

Quest completed

Return to Anastasia tomorrow.

Grounded Until 35

No, no, no. Where’s the wallet… That’s right! Cellphone! I mustn’t forget to bring it with me!

Rita!! I can’t talk right now, I have a ferry to catch.

What happened? Madison is gone! She disappeared when she and Jonas were in Fort Pinta yesterday. I’m sorry I didn’t take you more seriously Rita. Sorry.

But now I have to try and find Madison. I hope nothing has happened to her. She should have known better than to run away from Jonas like that. When I find her, I will make sure she is grounded until she’s 35!

You want to help me look for Madison, you say Rita?

Thanks! I appreciate it. But we will talk more about this later. I have to leave now. I’ll go ahead and we can meet up later at the mall.

See you there!

MADISON?! MADISON?!

Where on earth is that child?

Quest completed

______________

We Probably Shouldn’t Interfere

MADISON?! MADISON?!

Rita, where do you think Madison could have gone? Jonas said he last saw Madison sitting at the bus stop when the bus to the mall arrived. When he checked again to see where Madison was, she was gone, so she must have taken the bus here. But where could she have gone then?

Would you say you have any idea of who may have seen Madison?

The janitor there? Hmm… He doesn’t look like he’s in the best mood. I think we should probably not disturb him.

I see! Well you know him, so that changes everything. Let’s go talk to him.

Objectives: Ask the Janitor if he has seen Madison.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik City Plaza

As always the Janitor is upset with careless people messing up his clean floors. He might not have been paying attention to wayward children but it can’t hurt to ask.

Bah! People really have no manners these days!

I hope you haven’t come here because James sent you about something, because right now I need to clean up this mess.

Quest completed

______________

Without Wiping Shoes and Without Saying Thanks

As you can see Rita, I have a lot to do, but tell me what I can do for you today.

Objectives: Help the Janitor clean up the soda.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik City Plaza

Erik tells the Janitor about missing Madison.

I’m sorry to disturb you, but you haven’t seen my daughter by any chances?

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

Your daughter? Do I look like a babysitter? I have a job to do here, you know.

See this mess? There is soda all over the floor! And this is the kind of stuff I have to clean up, all because young people today have no manners. I’ll give you an example – I had just finished cleaning the floor when a small girl with big headphones came rushing in. She didn’t even wipe her shoes off and she wanted help to find a bus. Without even saying thank you, she rushed off and spilled a lot of soda.

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

Large headphones? Did she have brown hair and a pink dress?

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

Hmph! You bet she did. I hope she didn’t spill soda on you as well. But now I must clean this up.

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

That must have been Madison! Do you know which bus she took?

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

Bah! I don’t have time to check which buses the kids get on. Not when I have so much to clean up.

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

Rita, what should we do? It must have been Madison that the Janitor saw.

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

If you helped the Janitor clean up, maybe he would be in a better mood?

Use the rag from your inventory to wipe up all the spilled soda, then speak to the Janitor again.

Huh? Have you already cleaned everything up?

Quest completed

______________

The Bus to Aideen’s Plaza

Yes, yes, I will help you and your friend, Rita. The girl you are looking for went to Aideen’s Plaza.

If you hurry you might catch the next bus. It leaves from right outside here.

Objectives: Go to Aideen’s Plaza and meet up with Erik.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with South Hoof

Tell Erik that it’s off to Aideen’s Plaza!

Thank you so much for your help!

Come on Rita, we should get going right now!

Board the bus to Aideen’s Plaza and meet Erik at the southern entrance to the main square.

Okay! The Janitor said Madison came here. Where should we start looking? Of course, she could be anywhere in the city!

Quest completed

______________

The Cafe from Jorvik Gazette

Rita, please say that you think she is alright. Why would she run away? She will definitely not be getting any Saturday candy for the next five years.

Do you mean you have an idea of where we can start looking for Madison, Rita?

Do you say you recognize the cafe over there?

Yes, you’re right, of course! That is the coffee shop you showed me in the Jorvik Gazette!

It seems like a good place to start looking, hopefully, maybe someone there has seen her. Come on let’s go there.

Objectives: Go to the cafe.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Search around the front of the cafe until you find Madison’s game set on the ground behind the car parked nearby.

What is this? Isn’t it Madison’s GEMO?

You know it’s going to be a great episode when someone ends up locked in the trunk of a car…

Madison?! What are you doing in there? Come out from there, NOW!

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

I was going to save Nightdust! And when I got here to the square, I saw that stupid man’s friend who was in the newspaper too.

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

I don’t care what you are doing in the car, it’s not yours. So get out of there NOW! Otherwise, you will be grounded for… Well, a long time.

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

I can’t. I crawled into the trunk because that’s what they always do on TV. I was going to follow Nightdust’s kidnappers so I could save him. But somehow the trunk was deadlocked and now I can’t get out. Please help me! I can’t get out and it’s so dark in here.

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

Take it easy, we’ll get you out. We will have to go and find the owner. Did you see where he went before you broke into the trunk, Madison?

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

Nooo! You can’t talk to him, because he’s a horsenapper! I even found evidence to prove it when he went into the cafe! He is a horsenapper!

Rita, I know you believe me! The stupid man who kidnapped Nightdust, his friend is inside the coffee shop. He must not find out that we’re onto them and Nightdust’s whereabouts.

______________

Do You Want to Try?

Madison, we’ll get to all that later!

Rita, we have to try and get Madison out now.

Hmm… It feels like the cover is on very tight, I don’t think I can get it open.

Did you say you want to try?

Objectives: Try to unlock the trunk.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with South Hoof

Try to unlock the trunk but it doesn’t open.

No luck for you either? What are we going to do Rita? We have to get Madison out of the trunk!

Quest completed

______________

I Don’t Like the Idea but I’m Counting on You

Rita, I don’t like that Madison has broken into a strange man’s car at all and normally it would just be best to try to find the owner and apologize…

Don’t you think we should do that?

Madison’s wild imagination of a “horsenapper” is hardly believable? Or… How did I miss that?! There’s a risk he might try to sue us for unlawful entry into the car, or libel… This is bad, this is really bad. What should I do? Nope, the best thing is probably to just walk in and hope for the best. Apologize, and then I’m going to make Madison apologize.

Otherwise, she will have to live on brussel sprout pudding and fish balls for the rest of the year.

Rita, do you have an idea?

Will you enter the coffee shop and distract the car owner? While I try to open the trunk?

Okay… I don’t know if I like this idea Rita, but I’m counting on your. I’ll try to get Madison out while you keep the owner of the car in the cafe busy.

Objectives: Keep Carl inside the cafe.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with South Hoof

Go inside the cafe, and immediately Carl rudely confuses you for a waitress, but this is the perfect distraction, so no need to correct him.

Hey you! Yes you! Where’s my ice cream? I’ve been waiting for ages!

Quest completed

______________

The Worst Service in a Long Time

(You recognize the man in front of you, it’s Carl. It must be Carl’s car that Madison has broken into. This is NOT good.)

You look very familiar… Hmm… What is your name?

But it doesn’t matter, do you work here or what? You must do?

I have been waiting for ice cream for a really long time now. I have to confess that the service today is the worst I’ve seen in a long time. A duck could serve me faster than you.

What are you standing there for? Off you go. I’m a customer and the customer is always right. So make me an ice cream or I will make sure your boss finds out what a bad job you are doing!

(The best thing you can do to keep Carl there is to make him an ice cream. You’d better improvise!)

Objectives: Get Carl some ice cream.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with South Hoof

First, some real life advice from the sage Maggie: The customer is NOT always right. In any job, don’t allow people to treat you worse than dirt. Don’t be afraid to politely stand your ground. If the customer threatens to leave because you won’t kiss up to their rude attitude, kindly point them to the door. Your dignity and self worth is worth more than the few dollars they might spend at your store. If need be, bring a manager in to help you. If the manager won’t stand up for you, then that’s not a job you want to be working!

Back in Jorvik, head over to the ice cream cooler and scoop out the color ice cream the Carl tells you he wants.

Nom, nom, nom, nom!

Even though you are a lazy worker, you sure know how to make ice cream.

______________

An Elephant Never Forgets!

What did you say your name was anyway? Or maybe you didn’t say? You look very familiar. As if we have really met before.

Hmm… You don’t work for Mr Anwir, do you? Haha.

You say you do not have a clue, hmm. There’s something fishy about you, I’m like an elephant when it comes to memory. I always remember a face, and I know that you and I have met before.

I’ll remember where we met before, but until then you might as well start doing some good. After all, you are just standing there like a fool. Come on, you must have lots of work to do.

Objectives: Listen to Erik.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with South Hoof

Speak to Erik inside the cafe to see if he has managed to open the trunk while you distracted Carl.

Rita! It’s really not working, I’ve tried but the trunk must be deadlocked. It’s impossible to open. We’ll never be able to get Madison out without a key.

Quest completed

______________

An Idea is Formed

Rita, I think it’s best if we just talk to him. Did you say his name was Carl? Why are we whispering?

Do you have any idea of how to get Madison out of Carl’s car?

Do you mean we need a soda for it? If you go get the soda I can pay for it.

(If you could distract Carl, maybe you could get hold of his car keys to save Madison… But the first step is to get some soda.)

Objectives: Get the soda and return to Erik.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with South Hoof

Pick up a can of soda from the counter and bring it back to Erik.

Sorry Rita, but I don’t understand how the soda is going to help us get Madison out of the car.

Quest completed

______________

A Distracting Drink

I get it! The soda will help us distract Carl and buy us some more time? I don’t know if it will work but I’m counting on you Rita.

I’ll go and give the soda to Carl.

(If you could get Erik to spill the soda over Carl…)

Objectives: Push Erik lightly to make him drop the soda.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

Go up behind Erik and push him enough to trip and spill the soda.

Oh no! I’m so sorry, that wasn’t meant to happen. I really don’t know what happened there. Suddenly I just lost my footing.

(Apologize to Erik when Madison is safe.)

Quest completed

______________

Everybody Here is Useless

I am so sorry! I really don’t know what happened.

Objectives: Take Carl’s car keys.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with South Hoof

While Carl is distracted by being outraged at Erik’s behavior, slip his car keys from his pocket.

Fool! Do you work here too, or what? Everyone at this place is hopeless. Like the girl who took ages to get me my ice cream.

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

I’m so sorry. I wanted to buy you a soda.

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

Now you have the chance to pinch Carl’s car keys so you can help Madison get out of the trunk of the car.

Take the keys from Carl and go outside and rescue Madison.

Rita! What is going on? Please tell me that you can help me get out of here.

Quest completed

Inside the cafe, Erik is still trying to distract Carl.

Wait a minute… Why would you bring me a soda?

Oh… The soda? Didn’t you want the soda?

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

I never ordered a soda…

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

Ha… Ha… Um… Maybe I got it wrong then.

Try to open the trunk again.

Wait… There’s something fishy going on… That girl you were here with… What is her name?

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

Do you mean Rita?

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

Rita… Of course I remember that girl… Hmpf.

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

Butter… who?

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

Where is that girl? The one who was with you? She was here only a moment ago?

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

Uh…

Try one more time to open the trunk.

OUT OF THE WAY!

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

Are you sure you don’t want to stay here a while longer?

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

Get out of my sight!

On your last attempt to open the trunk, it works. Madison hops out and just in time as Carl comes stomping out of the cafe.

I’m free! Thank you Rita. You have no idea how happy I am.

Phew! Thank heavens you got me out! Here comes that stupid man.

Quest completed

Madison is still on a mission to save Nightdust!

NO! I won’t! I won’t go home until I’ve saved Nightdust!

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

Madison! Pay attention! We’re going home and that’s it. You can bet that you will be grounded for many years to come. Do you get how worried I’ve been? Do you get how worried your grandfather has been? He was beside himself when he came home from Fort Pinta and you were gone.

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

Sorry… I am sorry. But, but…

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

No buts, we are going home now.

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

But you’re not listening! That stupid man has my horse! He had the transmitters in his car and even that stupid suitcase. I swear that if you open it, you will find out everything we need to know.

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

Madison? What suitcase? Don’t tell me you took a suitcase?

Quest completed

______________

The Stupid Man’s Suitcase

This suitcase. It was in the stupid man’s car, along with the transmitters. I thought we needed some kind of evidence.

Rita, I couldn’t open it. Can you try? If we manage to open the case, maybe we can find out where Nightdust and the other horses are.

Objectives: Listen to Madison.

Rewards: 5 with Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with South Hoof

Erik does not seem thrilled with this idea.

Wait a minute now. You can’t just open someone else’s suitcase!

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

But how else will we find out where Nightdust is?

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

Madison, enough! We’re not going to open that suitcase. Instead we must try to get hold of Carl to apologize and return the suitcase.

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

I’m not going to apologize.

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

Stop arguing now Madison, Carl doesn’t have your horse. He’s probably just an ordinary businessman.

You Should Always Do the Right Thing

Rita, thank you again for all your help today. But it has been a long day and I think both Madison and I need a rest. I am going to try to find a hotel where we can check in.

Madison and I won’t be able to leave here before we have given the suitcase back. We must do the right thing.

Hopefully in his quest to return the suitcase, Erik will discover Madison’s truth? Only time will tell…

Will you help us find Carl?

Make sure you get some rest now, but before you go, take this as a thank you for all your help with finding Madison today.

Sigh. I don’t have time for this. Where can it have gone?

Not here, and it wasn’t in the kitchen either.

Hmm…

Oh sorry! I didn’t see you. Hi Rita! Are you here again?

You’re wondering whether I lost something?

Well, I can’t find my computer. I have some documents on it that I was going to send, but now the computer seems to have vanished into thin air.

I beg your pardon Rita, I don’t want to bother you with my problems.

You’re saying you want to help me look for it?

Of course you can help me. Thanks a lot!

If you look for it out here in the yard, I’ll do another search inside the house.

______________

Wax Off

Oh, you were going to see Madison? How nice of you! I think she would be delighted to see you. I know that she really wanted to meet up with you yesterday.

Hey listen, can I ask you a favor? Usually Madison likes helping me prepare for my surfing course, but right now I don’t know where my little sunbeam has gone.

Thanks a lot for wanting to help me out, Rita! I was frankly a little worried that I wouldn’t be finished in time.

Could you start off by scrubbing the old wax off the surfboards?

Haha, you don’t have to worry. It’s not hard at all. Just make sure you get ride of all the old wax.

______________

A Future in Surfing

Hmm… It’s a bit strange that Madison isn’t here. She always wants to be home before I leave for my surfing courses, since I’m usually gone for a few days.

But I guess she’s just out playing with her horses somewhere. Haha, that kid is just full of imagination.

Do you have time to give me some more help? Oh, thanks! We should see if we can find a date that works for both of us, so I can teach you how to surf.

But now, back to work. Now that the boards are clean, we need to give them some fresh wax so our feet get a good grip.

We’ll start off with the base wax. Just take this base wax and rub it carefully onto the boards – it’s going to look great!

Objectives: Help Holly apply the base wax to the surfboards.

______________

My Little Assistant

Now that you’ve applied the base wax to the surfboards, we just need to give them a layer of top wax. Then they’ll be all ready for my surfing course.

Do you think you can manage that?

You just have to do exactly the same thing that you did with the base wax. You apply the top wax by rubbing it in nice small circles.

Thanks for helping me out with everything, Rita!

Sorry, but I’ve got to get going. I have to be there when all my students arrive.

It’s pretty strange that Madison isn’t here… Maybe you can check with Erik when he has time, and see if he knows where she is?

I don’t think you need to worry. I’m sure nothing’s wrong, Madison’s probably just lost track of time while out playing somewhere.

But could you check with Erik anyway?

Thanks! See you later then, Rita! Bye!

A Safer Day with Jarl’s Insurances

Rita, sorry to interrupt you. But I have fantastic news! I’m going to get a new fishing boat! So Madison and I will be able to go fishing again soon. We’ll definitely avoid Cape Sorrow from now on, though. Ho ho!

Unfortunately it will take a while for the new fishing boat to arrive, but until then Jarl’s Insurances will lend me a temporary boat. I’m going off to get it today! I know Madison wanted to come along to Fort Pinta and watch the buses that pass through there. Ho ho! That kid is always up to some kind of game.

Right, back to that boat I’m about to get. It looks as though it’s really big. Not at all as cozy as a small fishing boat, but I’ll only be using it until my new one is ready.

Ho ho! Let me know if you need to travel across the water with a bunch of horses or friends. I can take you, which means I’ll have some use for this big boat from Jarl’s Insurances.

(growl)

Oops! That must have been my stomach. I haven’t eaten much today. Maybe I should make an omelet? Could you check the henhouse and see if there are any new eggs?

Objectives: See if there are any eggs in the henhouse.

Latest Seen After Dinner

Oh, so you’re looking for Madison?

Hmm… She should be here somewhere. As I told you, she wanted to come along to Fort Pinta and look at the buses or something.

But if you see her, let her know that we need to go soon, to get my boat.

I’m afraid you’ll have to ride back. But before you go, can I ask you a favor?

I must have slept in a bad position last night, because my back really hurts – otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you to help. But do you see the sack lying here? Could you help me carry it up to the top of the lighthouse? It’s pretty heavy, but I think you should manage it.

Hi Rita! Sorry to keep you waiting. What was it you wanted?

Reputation: 25 with Hermit on the Heath

Read each page of the newspaper closely and select the answer at the bottom of the screen the points to the clues that Madison found. When you piece all the clues together, maybe you can figure out where Madison went.

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

Page 1

With it’s central position and beautiful building, you can’t call Cafe Harp anything but the heart of Aideen’s Plaza. Everyday it attracts all kinds of visitors, locals as well as tourists.

Recently the cafe owners made a brave decision when they chose to renew its already delicious menu. Apart from adding a few new pastries, you can also buy yummy ice cream from their little ice cream counter. I, Delores Staunton, reporter at The Jorvik Gazette, set off to try the new menu and to find out what the visitors thought of the changes.

Clue found: The Harp Cafe

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

Page 2

The visitors’ opinions varied more than expected. While some embraced the changes with open arms, other seemed tow ant the old and less varied menu back. One of the guests who wholeheartedly supported the new menu was Eijnar Alderson. He couldn’t wait to try out the new flavors. Something else that really mattered to him was how this was going to affect Leonardo’s. If the selection were to remain the same, or if Cafe Harp would offer new flavors which Leonardo’s doesn’t currently offer.

However, among the guests who did not share Eijnar’s enthusiasm, was Mr Anwir, a not to chatty businessman. When he was given to opportunity to describe his feelings for the new menu at Cafe Harp, he chose the expression “Get lost!”.

Clue found: Mr Anwir

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

Page 3

On the other hand, Mr Anwir’s friend, Carl Delman, was of a totally different opinion. When he was asked the same question, the answer was “I love ice cream! I’m going to eat ice cream here every day of the week!”.

After having been given the opportunity to talk to all these different, but generally happy ice cream enthusiasts, who had gathered to enjoy the new menu at Cafe Harp, it was finally my turn to try it.

Kudos goes to Cafe Harp’s ice cream, but Leonardo’s is still the place to visit if you want to eat ice cream, with Cafe Harp trailing not too far behind. So if you’re in town, you should definitely visit Cafe Harp and check out their new menu. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Clue found: Carl

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

When you have finished reading the newspaper, speak to the Hermit again.

Eh…

Everything Falls Into Place

Ehm…

Rita, this doesn’t look good…

…

EH! What’s that Rita? You recognize the cafe in the newspaper?

Ehm… This doesn’t sound good… Madison must have… Eh… Seen Mr Anwir and this other guy… Eh… Sorry, what did you say? You know who the other man is, that Carl guy?

Hmm… Eh… So they’ve taken a horse together before?

Eh… What’s that Rita? You thought of something?

EH! Is Madison’s grandfather taking her with him to Fort Pinta?!

Ehm… She must be up to something, Rita! We have to… Or you have to… Ehm… Stop her.

Eh… I can’t handle this…

You have to talk to her parents, or someone else… Eh… If we’re lucky they haven’t gone off yet… Ehm… You should talk to her dad… He might listen…

The Pirate Who Threw Her in the Water

Rita, I can assure you that Madison is quite alright.

My little girl may have more than her fair share of an imagination, but she wouldn’t run away to – sorry, why would she be running away?

To save that horse Nightdust, you say?

Sigh.

Rita, you shouldn’t let her get you mixed up in her games. Just recently she came home soaking wet, saying that a pirate had thrown her into the water when she was trying to save her horse, Nightdust.

You see, Rita, we don’t have any horses on our farm, and Madison certainly doesn’t have a horse of her. She’s just making things up.

Of course I have a computer Rita, why are you even asking?

If you can show me something? Well… Sure, of course you can.

Is She Taking the Bus?

Where Madison is right now?

She just left with Jonas to take the ferry to Fort Pinta. Jonas is going to get his new boat from Jarl’s Insurances, and Madison wanted to look at some buses or something.

Wait – you don’t think she’s going to take the bus from Fort Pinta to Jorvik City?!

Darn it! We just missed it! And they can hardly see us from where they are…

Quest completed

______________

At Least They’re Together

Hmm… Well, at least Madison and Jonas were together.

Rita, I’ll just have to trust that Jonas will keep an eye on Madison. I know my father can be a little absentminded at times, but he would never let Madison go off by herself.

Let’s take things easy for the time being, and you can talk to Madison when she comes home.

Unfortunately, they’ll probably get back pretty late tonight, so I think it’s best that you come back tomorrow.

Objectives: Talk to Erik.

Darn you, man! Why do you not believe me and be concerned about your daughter. You will come to regret this, I promise you…

I need to get back to the farm now, but don’t worry Rita, they’ll be home tonight.

Oh, by the way, all of this made me forget that my mother Sigrid said you should have this, as thanks for everything you’ve helped out with here on the farm.

Quest completed

Return to Erik tomorrow.

The Missing Girl…

Hello there Rita!

Wonderful to see you again. You would’t happen to have seen Madison, would you?

No? Hmm. Wonder where she’s got to? See, there aren’t any schools here on South Hoof, so I’ve actually taken on the responsibility of home-schooling her. My son Erik seems to think we should be sending her to a proper school.

Bah! As though my teaching isn’t good enough!

Would you be an angel and have a quick look to see where Madison is? She should be down at the farm…

Thanks Rita!

Objectives: Ask around to see if anyone’s seen Madison.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with South Hoof

Ride down to the farm and ask the family members if they have seen Madison. Erik seems least of all concerned.

Are you looking for Madison?

Quest completed

______________

Something Jonas Should Have Done!

Sorry Rita, but I can’t talk right now. I need to stack up these boxes properly. It’s something Jonas should have done already, but…

Sigh. Sorry if I sound short, Rita. You should’t have to be dragged into the middle of everything.

Maybe you could come back a little later…

(If you help Erik stake up the boxes, then maybe he’ll be able to help you with Madison?)

Objectives: Help Erik to stack up the boxes again.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

Pick up the boxes near Erik and stack them next to the house, then speak to Erik when you are done.

Thanks, Rita.

Quest completed

______________

Fish Don’t Scale Themselves

Thanks for helping with the boxes Rita. You didn’t have to, you know. It was very nice of you, so thanks.

You’re wondering where Madison has got to?!

I think she’s up in her room. I’ll check for you as soon as I’ve scaled and cleaned the fish. See, the fish we’re going to have for dinner this evening aren’t going to scale themselves. Unless the whole family just wants scaly fish.

Rita, how lovely of you to offer, but it’s really not your job to scale our fish.

Oh, you don’t mind at all? Okay then, well thanks! If you do that, I can go and get Madison for you.

Here, borrow my knife to scale the fish with. The fish are over there in a yellow bucket.

Objectives: Help Erik to scale fish.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with South Hoof

Dismount your horse and use the knife from your inventory to remove the scales from the fish in the bucket. Speak to Erik when you are done.

That was quick! You must have done that before… Thanks for helping!

Quest completed

______________

The Animal Loving Kid

Ah, well now the fish are ready to be cooked at least. Are you sure don’t want to stay and eat with us?

Okay, I know you’ve got lots of other stuff to do, but the invite stands if you change your mind!

By the way, I went up to look for Madison, but she wasn’t in her room. I’d guess she was pretty nearby though since she’s probably off playing with the animals. We’ve got cows, pigs, and chickens, and if shes not with one of them, she’s with the other! She’s truly the animal-loving kid!

Sorry to ask this of your Rita, I know it’s not your responsibility, but if you’re going to look in on the animals while you’re looking for Madison, you could maybe take these sacks of animal feed with you? I’m sure they’re all pretty hungry by now, and perhaps you and Madison can feed them together once you’ve found her?

Objectives: Help Erick feed the animals on the farm.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with South Hoof

Place food out for the cows inside the barn, the chickens out near the well, and the pigs in the paddock behind the cow barn. Return to Erik when you are done.

You’re back already? Didn’t you find Madison?

Quest completed

______________

Does the Hermit Have the Answer?

Hmm… Then I’ve no idea where Madison might be. Why do you ask?

WHAT?! Ha, it’s boarding school all the way for that little madam unless she starts taking her responsibilities seriously here at home. She’s no doubt forgotten her homework as well.

Sigh. Sorry, this isn’t anything to do with you. I need to look for Madison now and send her to Sigrid the second I find her.

Hmm, I wonder where she could be? Have you got any ideas? If you do, I’d like you to tell her to get herself home right away otherwise I’ll confiscate her games for a week.

(You think it might be a good idea to ride to the Hermit to see if he knows where Madison is.)

Objectives: Ride to the Hermit and look for Madison.

Poor girl has no other friends to play with. No kid wants to go to school, don’t expect her to be miserable because you are, Erik sir.

Take This Tool and Don’t Be a Fool!

Can you see Madison anywhere here?

It’s a mess, and…

You want to help me fix it, you say?

Near the Big Tree

Eh…

You’re looking for Madison, you say?

…

I don’t know…

…

Umm…

She might be over by the big tree…

Eh…

Next to the stones outside, there are two stones with another stone sitting on top of them.

…

Eh…

I’m just off to… Eh… Dig up worms now.

I can’t do that with you here watching. Goodbye.

Dad wants me to go home and do my homework?

Booooorrrrriiiinnnnggggg!!

WHAT? Games banned for a week if I don’t go home?

Sigh…

Yeah, yeah, I promise I’ll come with you but hey… Before we go, can’t we just stay a little while longer? You know I’m watching the wild horses right? Yeah! There are wild horses living here on the island, do you want to come see them with me?

Yay!

I’m Conservationist Madison! The greatest conservationist the world has ever seen and right now I’m studying the worlds rarest horse, the magical wild horse. You could be… Horse Whisperer Rita! How does that sound?

How to Greet a Horse

Oh look Rita! What a beautiful horse! I wish I had a horse.

But hey! We caught Nightdust! This can be Nightdust! That means we get all our wishes to come true!

Can’t we pretend that this is my horse? Please?

Do you think I can pet him?

You think so? If do it very carefully?

Meh! Rita, it doesn’t seem at all like he wants me to pet him…

REALLY?! You’ll show me how to approach and pet a horse?! Oh wow, you’re a real horse whisperer! You’re the best! Can you see me smiling right now? I’m so happy I could scream!

If you show me how to approach and pet a horse then I promise I’ll just stand and watch quietly.

Haha! Rita, I just had the best idea ever! I swear it’s better than the best idea anyone’s ever had!

How about you and I have a little race? Yeah! You on Summerblaze and me on Nightdust? Pleeeeeeease?

I promise, one little race and then I’ll go home and do my homework, okay?

Why do you seem so unsure? Come on, help me up onto Nightdust’s back. He likes me, he won’t mind!

I Did It! Well… Maybe Not

Thanks for helping, Rita, but I think I can manage this on my own.

Or perhapsssss noooooottt!!

Rita!! How do I get him to stop?! Please Nightdust! We don’t actually want to go to the moon!! Stop!!

(Nightdust rushes away suddenly with Madison on his back. You need to ride after them, and fast! Track them down before Madison is injured for real.)

Objectives: Capture the wild horse before Madison is thrown off.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Nightdust is fast!

You can chase after him directly, if you can manage to catch up. Otherwise he runs a specific circular path on the field and you can stop in his path and wait for him to come to you.

Haha that was incredible Rita! It’s almost like we should do it all over again!

You just came from nowhere on Summerblaze! Thanks.

Sorry for scaring you, Nightdust! Run away now little friend! We’ll see each other soon! Byeee!

Quest completed

______________

Agent & Commander: Back on the Case!

I promise Rita, I’ll stay away from wild horses for a while…

Haha, but you have to admit that it was fun anyway. I mean, we caught a wild horse! I got my wish granted and got my very own wild horse! I’m gonna try to find him and meet him more times. Maybe I can bring carrots or something next time!

Haha, I promise I’ll be more careful next time. I’ve tried to ride wild horses before, but this was absolutely the best! Haha! It was just so cool!

You’re right, Rita, we should start heading back home…

But hey! Can’t I sit behind you on Summerblaze? We could pretend that you and me, Agent and Commander, going to Fort… Hightower! Good name, right?

Because I’m a princess who’s under a curse, hmm… And the curse can only be held in check by me doing my homework… Or… Well… That sounded boring. Let’s say… Hmm… Yes! A test of wisdom!

The wisdom test appears by magic everyday, and if I don’t pass the test, I’ll be forever lost.

Agent Rita, we must hurry to Hightower. You need to help me get there in time before it’s too late.

To the moon and beyond! Haha!

Wait…

Rita? Do you hear that?

There was a weird noise coming from over there.

I swear I heard something over there. Come on, we need to check what it is.

Objectives: Follow Madison towards the strange noise.

Quest completed

______________

Sound of Hooves

Rita, do you hear that too?

Why do you look so worried?

Horses?! You’re right! It’s the sound of lots of hooves, coming this way! It must be the wild horses.

There! Look, I can see them! They’re really in a hurry! Something must have scared them…

Agent Rita, you’re totally right, we need to take cover. But where?

Where do you think we should hide?

Objectives: Take cover behind the rock with Madison.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

STAMPEDE!

Hide with Madison if you don’t want to get trampled to death!

Whew! That was close.

Wonder why they were running.

Quest completed

______________

Pirates or Ghosts or What?

I’ve never seen horses run like that if they haven’t been spooked by something. There’s nothing on this island that they could be afraid of though… We don’t have any scary predators or anything.

What if they saw a ghost?!

Wait! Listen!

There was that sound I heard earlier! Come on Rita! Something spooked the horses and I want to know what it was. It might be pirates, or…

Come on Rita! Hurry!

Objectives: Follow Madison towards the strange noise.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

Ride towards the cliffs and watch as a barge — strangely similar to the ones that Dark Core uses — sail off away from the beach.

A ferry?!

How strange! Ferries don’t go from here, the only ferries here are the ones that go from the harbor…

Quest completed

______________

Detective Work

I’ve heard grandma say about a million times how dangerous the waters are around the island, and how many ships and vessels have run aground. Why would a ferry go from here and not the harbor?

Hmm… Something fishy is going on here. I think this could be a case for the two detectives Rita and Madison.

You wanna help?

You do?! Yaay! Together we can solve this mystery. I’m almost certain that it’s the boat which spooked the horses. You think so too?

The question is, what was it doing here..?

Detective Rita! Imagine if they were pirates?! And now they’ve hidden their treasure somewhere…

Haha, come on! It won’t hurt to look a little! Now let’s find Captain Goldtooth’s treasure!

If you look over there, I’ll start looking here.

Objectives: Investigate the beach, then talk to Madison.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

Ride down to the beach and investigate the area.

Locate the hoofprints, human foot prints, and a piece of rope in the sand, then return to Madison.

Hmm…

That was weird…

Quest completed

______________

Ace Detective!

The horses have been down here on the beach, you can tell by the hoof prints, but why are there human boot prints here? And this rope? What do you think this could mean Rita?

I agree with you that something is very strange. Do you think it’s smugglers? Pirates?!

What a good idea Rita! You’re totally right, grandma or mum and dad might know something about the ferry. You should be called Ace Detective, Rita. I dunno what it means but the name ‘Ace’ sounds pretty cool!

Come on Rita, let’s ride to grandma. If there’s anyone who might know anything, it’ll be her. She’s usually over by the lighthouse.

Objectives: Ride to the lighthouse and find Sigrid.

An Important Question

Hello again Rita!

Nice to see you again, thanks for finding Madison.

Madison? What is it?

Objectives: Listen to Madison.

______________

An Unlikely Story

Rita, thanks for finding Madison and bringing her home. But now she has to get on with her lessons. She has a test coming up and there’s a lot to get through before that.

I don’t think you’re lying, but it’s highly unlikely that a ferry could have stopped at that beach. Maybe it had steered off course, or perhaps it’s just that sometimes the mist and fog and low light can play tricks. People claim to have seen stranger things than a ferry out at sea there, everything from sea monsters to sea people.

So, Madison, off you go to get your books and we’ll get started with your lessons.

Objectives: Listen to Madison.

Great! I need to get back to grandma now but I promise you and me are gonna work out what’s up with this ferry. See you later Rita! Now I really have to run, I’m already super late for everything!

Oh, wait, of course! Dad asked me to give you this when I was in getting my books. Apparently it’s to say thanks for helping out on the farm.

Let’s check and see how Jonas is feeling today after his adventure yesterday.

A New Career for Jonas

Hello again Rita! Lovely day, isn’t it?

Yesterday was a little more dramatic, wouldn’t you say? I lost my fishing boat, almost drowned, and then very nearly froze to death. Got plenty done, I’d say! Haha!

Ah well, mustn’t grumble, we’re all here feeling fine and with a new friend to boot! I mean you, of course Rita. Many thanks for all you’ve done!

Now I think about it, it was rather a good day in the end.

Objectives: Talk to Jonas.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 25 with South Hoof

Any day you don’t die is a good day.

My fishing boat?

Ah, no. It’s on the seabed now, rotting away amongst the crabs and seaweed. I’d started to get a little bit fed up of all that fishing though, and it feels like this might be a bit of a sign to try something new… Can’t do the same thing every day of your life, now can you Rita?

Perhaps a few more visitors might start coming to South Hoof soon, wouldn’t you think? I was thinking about maybe opening some kind of shop to give the visitors somewhere to buy the essentials… That would work, wouldn’t it Rita?

Quest completed

______________

South Hoof Shopping

You think a store sounds like a good idea?

Excellent news Rita! Then I suppose it’s time to put fishing behind me and set course for a career as a businessman. Feels good!

Do you think you could help me get started, Rita? Sigrid says I still need to rest… If she sees me doing anything other than taking it easy, she’ll go crazy. You’ll help? Oh Rita, you’re a lifesaver!

I know there are some boxes of clothes, horse equipment, and other odds and ends hanging around on the farm someplace. No one here is interested in them, but there’s actually some pretty nice stuff, and I think I could probably have them for sale! If you could find the boxes and bring them here, I think we might have something to work with.

Objectives: Look around the garden for boxes for Jonas’ shop.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

The boxes can be found inside the two barns. When you have picked all of them up, return to Jonas.

They look like just the boxes I was thinking of. Great work Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Set Up Shop!

Would you mind helping me a little more, Rita? If I start working now, Sigrid will make my life a misery, you can count on that!

You’ll help? That’s the spirit Rita, thanks!

If you could open up the boxes and set them over there? There should be a few posts and some material in there as well. If you set it all up it could well start to look like some kind of shop! It’s gonna be really nice!

Objectives: Set the boxes out in the places Jonas pointed out.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 30 with South Hoof

Dismount your horse to use the box from your inventory. Once all the boxes are set up, return to Jonas.

Hey, that’s looking great Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Payment Solutions…

Hmm… I just thought of something Rita… I don’t think I’ll be standing at the store selling things the whole time. It doesn’t seem particularly rewarding to just stand there and wait for people to turn up… Nope, we’ll have to think of something else.

Hmm…

I think I’ve got it! People round here are decent types, no thieves in this neck of the woods! I think it’ll be enough to just set out a little box where people can leave their money when they want to buy something? I reckon that’ll do the trick, don’t you Rita?

Hey, set these boxes out next to each of the shops. Then we’re all done!

Objectives: Set up the boxes for Jonas’ shop.

Rewards: 60 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP, Beautiful Seafaring Saddle

Reputation: 35 with South Hoof

Remain on foot and place a lockbox at each shop, then return to Jonas.

Well just look at that, Rita! What lovely shops we have! Really lovely! Now we just need to hope someone wants to come and buy things from them!

Thanks for everything Rita. I looked through the boxes and found this… I think it’ll suit you perfectly!

Thanks again, and I hope we’ll see each other again soon Rita!

Quest completed

Holly wants to speak to us now. Let’s go find her behind the house.

One Last Thank You from Holly

Hey again Rita! I hoped to be able to catch you before you rode off!

Thanks so much for all your help. I don’t know what we’d have done if you didn’t turn up and save everyone!

Have you met my husband Erik, by the way? You only saw each other very briefly out at Cape Sorrow…

Objectives: Talk to Erik.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 45 with South Hoof

Pleased to meet you sir, even though you be grumpy.

Hi Rita!

Like Holly just said, I’m Erik.

Thanks for saving us. I was really frightened out there on Cape Sorrow, but I tried to put on a brave face for Madison. Now though, I’m mostly angry. This would never have happened if it wasn’t for my stupid father!

As long as nobody other than him gets into trouble on his little adventures, then I don’t care so much, but this time he put my daughter Madison in harm’s way. He’s taken it too far now. I don’t know what I’m gonna do but things can’t carry on like this…

I’m sorry, Rita.

I won’t drag you into our family conflicts. Thanks again, I hope to see you again when all this has calmed down.

Quest completed

Sigrid also has some words for us. Let’s go see her by the lighthouse.

The Ferry to South Hoof

Good day to you Rita. If I understand correctly, you’ve already been inside the lighthouse, otherwise I would have gladly given you a tour.

Might you have time to help me out with one more thing?

It’s to do with the ferry that used to go between South Hoof and Fort Pinta. I’d love to see it get going again. What if an accident happens at some point? We’d need to be able to connect with the mainland in a hurry in that case…

I don’t know who to talk to on the mainland, but perhaps James in Fort Pinta can help you? I don’t know him, but apparently he’s the one who calls the shots over there…

You’re not sure James is the right person to talk to, but you’re happy to help anyway, you say? Thanks Rita!

I hope to see you again sometime.

Objectives: Talk to James about the ferry between Fort Pinta and South Hoof. Seems like he’s already here at South Hoof, by the ferry landing.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Fort Pinta

I thought you were… Allergic to water??

Hey Rita!

Check me out, just arriving by ferry! Cool, right? Hmm? Why is the ferry running?

Well, when I told everyone about the dark lighthouse at South Hoof, the few tourists who were left went crazy and wanted to visit South Hoof to see for themselves. So I called the Councilman at Silverglade and told him what had happened. When he heard you’d gone to South Hoof on your own, he suddenly became very serious and said he’d fix the ferry situation immediately. Only a couple of hours went by before there was a new ferry turning up at the dock at Fort Pinta. I got to come across on the maiden voyage, and here I am! The ferry will travel regularly between South Hoof and Fort Pinta from now on!

Quest completed

______________

A Little Souvenir from South Hoof

There’s gonna be some big bucks to be made here Rita! Now you and all the tourists can come here as often as you like!

I’ll take my boat back that you borrowed. You know it was only to borrow, right? Of course you can borrow it again if you pay the rental fee.

Objectives: Talk to James again.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP, South Hoof Cap

Reputation: 50 with Fort Pinta

Wow, you should be paying me for fixing it so that you have a boat to rent out!

If that’s all the thanks you get for helping? Haha, of course not Rita!

Here’s a little token of my appreciation. A little souvenir to remind you of your adventures at South Hoof. I was thinking about selling them to the tourists. They’ll go like hot cakes, don’t you think?

Seeya around Rita!

Quest completed

You have now discovered the South Hoof ferry station. The first time you discover it, you may have to call for pick up and discover the other end in Fort Pinta. I had to do that on my main account, but not on my blog account. So I do not know if it was initially a glitch that has been fixed or if it just does not work right away for some people.

The pink ferry to South Hoof does not have a map icon, but it runs on the same rotation as the green ferry to Fort Pinta. Make sure you are waiting long enough for it if it seems it is not appearing to you.
