There is a new couple down in the old Winery Gardens, outside of the Winery walls, and they have a mission.

Equestrian Center Gardener

bjorn

Hello! What a gorgeous horse you have!

I’m sorry. I should introduce myself. I am Bjorn, master gardener, artist, and renaissance man, at your service. Your horse must be the most beautiful horse to ever trod the green hills of Jorvik. I absolutely have to paint a portrait of your horse sometime!

Aha, and here beside me is Agnetha, my dear wonderful wife. Together we are a formidable gardening team with a brilliant vision, a sacred mission! We are going to restore the Winery gardens to their former glory.

Now I have a great idea! You should join us! No… I won’t take no for an answer. I can see it now… Bjorn, Agnetha, and Rita… In an article together in the Jorvik Gazette… “Together they accomplished the task of the century and restored the Eighth Wonder of the World – The Silverglade Gardens!”

This is going to be fantastic! Take these measuring sticks, or whatever they are called, and put them into the ground over there by the paddock. When that is done, my dear wife Agnetha can start working.

Objectives: Plan the measuring sticks around the garden beside the paddock.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Winery Master Gardeners

Go up the hill towards the outdoor arena, and place the markers on the indicated locations. This is the home of the future Sun Garden. When you are done, return to Bjorn.

bjorn

That’s great Rita! This is so exciting! Now you need to speak with Agnetha, let her know she can start clearing the garden now. Hurry, hurry, hurry!

A Careful Cleaning of the Land

agnetha

Wait.

Wait…

 BURRRRP!!!

Whoa… That really hit the spot! That was a great sandwich. Full of mayonnaise, shrimp, and all sorts of great stuff. What can I do for you now?

Whoa… Hold it right there. You don’t get to ride up her on your little pony and try to tell me how you should clear some land. I don’t think so. Listen to me now little girl. This requires the real thing!

Ride over to my old friend Barney and ask him to return the chainsaw I loaned him last year… That and a little dynamite I have under my bed should be just the thing to get this job done right in this little garden.

This is going to be perfect… Then my little darling man can put his little flowers just where he wants them. 

Objectives: Borrow a chainsaw from Barney.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Winery Master Gardeners

Barney can be found at his silo near Silverglade Village.

barney

Agnetha’s chainsaw? Yep, I have it.

Quest completed

______________

Agnetha’s Chainsaw

barney

This chainsaw wasn’t really of much use to me Rita. It is so big that it takes at least three men to even lift it off the ground. Taking it away on horseback shouldn’t be a problem though.

Give my best to Bjorn and Agnetha. See you later!

Objectives: Ride back to Agnetha with the chainsaw.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Agnetha should be happy to see her precious dear chainsaw again.

agnetha

It’s about time, Rita. And here is the chainsaw we talked about, let’s have a look at it…

It is smaller than I remember, but… I guess it might work to clear the area with this little toothpick… But it might take a long time. 

Okay. Come back tomorrow, stand back and let a real woman do her job.

Quest completed

Return to Bjorn tomorrow.

A Seed is Soon Planted

bjorn

Have you seen it Rita? What a spellbindingly beautiful garden that is now showing us its naked face. It is a truly magical feeling isn’t it? It is going to be truly breathtaking… I simply can’t wait!

Now we need to plant flowers, flowers, and even MORE flowers! Ride as fast as you can over to Felix in Silverglade Village and ask if we can get some pansy seeds from him.

Hurry up Rita!

Objectives: Felix in Silverglade Village has seeds for Bjorn.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Ride to Silverglade Village and ask Felix about getting the pansy seeds for the garden.

felix

Pansy seeds? Of course, no problem at all. You’ll have them in an instant!

Quest completed

______________

Future Pansies

felix

Here are the seeds, Rita. Take them over to Bjorn and Agnetha right away. Hurry!

Why am I so stressed? Have you met Agnetha when she is angry? No? It is something you never want to experience Rita!

Objectives: Ride back to Bjorn with the seeds from Felix.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Hurry, before you incur the wrath of Agnetha!

bjorn

Hey Rita. Did you get the seeds from Felix? Oh, he is so thoughtful. Now we need to start planting them!

Quest completed

______________

Pansy Planting

bjorn

Finally, the glorious day has arrived! Now we will sow the seeds of our fantastic flower friends that will soon grace us with their blooms. Oh, I’m positively dizzy with excitement Rita! This is the best day of my life! I think I might faint!

Thud!

…

…

Oh…? How are you?

Of course, we are going to plant! Hurry up Rita, I feel a little dizzy… I think I need to rest a little… But please take the seeds and plant them in the ground.

Objectives: Plant the seeds in the garden by the paddock.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Plant the seeds in the indicated areas, then return to Bjorn.

bjorn

Fantastic Rita, it is so exciting that I might die! When are they going to bloom?! I think I might explode!!

Quest completed

______________

Plumbing in the Garden

agnetha

Ah ah aaa! That is close enough Rita. You don’t need to come any close than that on your little horse.

Ah yes. We will need to repair the pipes. You should know that here on this old broken farm the pipes are of the worst possible quality. They break all the time and I don’t have time to fix them all AND help Bjorn with everything he wants done. He is completely worthless with anything that resembles real work, just in case you haven’t figured that out yet. How are you with fixing things, sweetie? Are you as useless as Bjorn or are you ready to get dirty and get things done?

You can? I’m glad to hear it. We like your kind of person here.

Have a look at these things here. This is my plumbing work kit. Be careful with it as these things are expensive. Take the tools with you to the garden and repair those broken pipes and come back later. Don’t be lazy now. This is good old-fashioned work.

Objectives: Repair the pipes over by the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Ride up to the broken pipe and use the plumbing kit to fix it. Return to Agnetha when you are finished.

agnetha

Good going little Rita! Now the flowers won’t have to die of thirst, like someone else here I could mention.

Quest completed

The Big Secret

agnetha

Listen now, little Rita. The real secret behind this garden idea is a new invention, a super-fertilizer that I have discovered. It should get the flowers to grow and bloom in no time at all. You thought I was only good at running chainsaws and blowing things up, didn’t you? Well… You thought wrong. I have a good head on my shoulders, alright. 

When I worked over at Jorvik Stables, I used to muck the stalls, from morning to late at night, every day. I noticed everything grew very fast on the manure pile. I tested it by tossing a bundle of seeds on the pile one night and when I came back in the morning the pile was coated with tulips. So I asked Herman, the boss there, “Herman sweetie, it doesn’t make sense for this fertilizer to just be lying here, right? Why don’t I just buy it all for a cheap penny?” and he answered “Of course you can.” So now I have exclusive rights to the world’s best fertilizer, direct from Jorvik Stables, and we are going to use it to grow our flowers.

But anyways little Rita. I’m standing here and wasting valuable time we could be using to work instead. Here, take this sack of super-fertilizer and empty it in the Sun Garden. I know it doesn’t exactly smell like roses but you can use a clothespin on your nose.

Objectives: Spread the fertilizer out on the flower beds in the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Place the fertilizer on the indicated spots in the garden, the return to Agnetha when you are finished.

agnetha

Well done Rita! Now we just have to wait and let the super-fertilizer do its work. Come back tomorrow and we’ll have a look at it.

Quest completed

Return to Agnetha tomorrow.

______________

Not Only Flowers

agnetha

Listen up now. My patented super-fertilizer works too well. It isn’t only the flowers that grow quickly… But  the weeds too. We’ll we can’t have that, can we? Now it is time for you to roll up your sleeve and do some honest old-fashioned work. You are a little skinny to use my chainsaw… Don’t you eat enough breakfast?

Anyways, this is what we should do. Take these garden shears and clear out all the weeds in the Sun Garden. Don’t come back until all the weeds are gone. Get to it… Go on… Go.

Objectives: Get rid of the weeds in the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Go up to the Sun Garden and remove the weeds. Return to Agnetha when you are finished.

agnetha

There we go. The weeds are all gone, like they should be. Very well done. 

Quest completed

______________

Thirsty Flowers

agnetha

Rita, come over here for a second.

You… Well… This isn’t good.

You didn’t do a good job when you were repairing the pipes in the Sun Garden. Now they are spraying water all over the place again. We don’t like this kind of bad quality work here, little Rita. You’ll need to run down there and repair the pipes again… But do it properly this time. I’ve got my eye on you Rita.

Objectives: Repair the pipe by the Sun Garden again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Repair the pipe the same way you did the first time, the return to Agnetha.

agnetha

There we go. I don’t see water spraying all over the place anymore.

Doesn’t that feel good Rita? Real honest hard work is like food for the soul… Like I always say to Bjorn.

Now we’ll wait and see what happens. One more night, Rita, and I’m sure we’ll see the flowers have bloomed.

Quest completed

Return to Agnetha tomorrow.

______________

Invasion in the Garden

agnetha

Hold on there, Rita. We have a serious situation here that I need to take care of.

You want to help?

That’s the right attitude, Rita! I can always count on you through thick and thin!

Listen up now. Some sneaky parasites have sneaked into the garden and are trying to steal the fruit of our labor. Those little biters are sneaky as can be and I haven’t managed to catch a single one of them. I am completely worn out… No matter how quick I am, they jump back down into their holes as soon as I get close. I think you need to sneak up on them… Maybe you could give it a try?

Good! Take this sack and stuff it with those little guys. You’ll need to sneak up on them to be able to catch them, remember that. 

Objectives: Catch the chipmunks in the garden. Sneak up on them from behind and catch them in the sack. Remember they are scared of you and your horse, so don’t put your horse too close to any of the holes.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

You have to approach the chipmunks from behind or from the side. If you approach from the front, they will jump into their hole. When you move away from the hole, they will jump back out, facing a different direction.

When you have caught all of the chipmunks, return to Agnetha.

agnetha

Well done, Rita! There are a lot of those little guys in the sack!

What should we do with these little parasites? I’d like to throw them off a cliff… But Bjorn would never agree to anything like that. 

Quest completed

______________

A New Home for the Little Biters

agnetha

We can send them to old Steve’s. He and I don’t really get along, but take the little guys there. He like small animals like this. I guess birds of a feather flock together… Ha ha!

Objectives: Ride over to Steve’s with the chipmunks.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Take the chipmunks to Steve. He should be delighted with the new additions to his farm.

Chipmunks? How nice! My own little guys need some new friends.

Back to Bjorn

steve

Agnetha? She is completely crazy, Rita! Are you sure you are going to work for her? Did you know she worked on my farm before? But it didn’t work out. Even on Sundays she was out there chopping wood and plowing the fields. I thought she would take some time off… But she never did, ever. She didn’t want me to rest either! I was afraid of going out of my house until it was dark. I had to let her go… It was just too stressful having her here.

But send my greetings to Bjorn and let him know the chipmunks are going to fit in well here. Bye bye, Rita!

Objectives: Ride back to Bjorn.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 50 with Winery Master Gardeners

Return to Bjorn and tell him that the little chipmunks will live out their lives happily on Steve’s farm.

bjorn

Hello Rita! So our little chipmunks are going to have a good life over at Steve’s? That is great to hear. Agnetha can get a little fired up when she thinks people are not working hard enough… So she doesn’t get along well with Steve. I think it is a little sad… Steve and I have a lot in common…

But you, Rita. Now we need to work day and night to get these flowers to bloom! We can’t possibly manage it without your help, so please come here every day, take care of a couple things, and before you know it… It will be harvest time! I’m so excited about all of this, I just might pee myself!

(Oh dear, I really wish you wouldn’t… I will not clean up that mess…)

Quest completed

______________

A Vision for the Sun Garden

bjorn

Wait… I have a vision…

Yeeessss! That is how it should be! Think Rita, you are sitting and relaxing, surrounded by our beautiful flowers. What could be more relaxing than that? I’ll tell you! A little pool with bubbling fresh water!

As luck would have it, we already have a pool here but there are so many holes in it that I am afraid to fill it with water. If you can find stones for me, I can patch it. We can’t just use any old rocks… They need to be the exact right kind, otherwise it will look uncommonly awful… You understand, right?

The perfect stones are only at one place in all of Jorvik… Below the cliffs to the Winery. So it isn’t that far away… Pretty lucky right?!

Ride over there, close to the riding arena, and collect some of those perfect stones. Hurry!

Objectives: Pick up some stones down the cliff from the Winery, close to the riding arena.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

You will have to leave the garden and go on the road to the riding arena. Ride past the arena and the stones are scattered on the ground near the cliff. Pick up all of them and return to Bjorn.

bjorn

Let’s see…

Hmmm…

These will be perfect! I am going to repair the pool and turn on the water right away. Ride over and take a look, Rita!

Quest completed

Return to Bjorn when you are Friendly with the Winery Master Gardeners

Oi oi oi! Have you seen the fantastic flowers, Rita? They are simply fabulous! I think I might faint…

Thud!

Thud!

Flowers… That’s right! Fantastic! This is the best day of my life, Rita.

Here, take this as thanks for all your amazing help.

A More Beautiful Sun Garden 

bjorn

Rita, I have a fantastic idea! Listen! Listen!

We are going to put our beautiful vases and plant beautiful bushes in the Sun Garden and it is going to be even more beautiful than anyone ever thought was possible! I can picture it now… It is so terribly beautiful that even your horse is going to cry when you ride through there. Can you picture it, Rita? You see it?

It doesn’t matter… Trust me. I have a vision! Mark out the places where the vases should be with these measuring sticks and put fertilizer at the place in the flower beds where the bushes should go.

Hurry, Rita, hurry!

Objectives: Fertilize for the bushes in the Sun Garden. Put out measuring sticks where the vases should stand.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Fantastic! This is going to be so amazingly good that you are going to faint… So tie a pillow to your helmet so you don’t hurt yourself when you come riding through here and take a peek and fall off.

Garden Expansion

bjorn

Rita! Rita!

Come here for a minute! The garden is even more amazing than I ever would have imagined. It’s really a miracle of never before seen beauty! Not even when the garden was built a long time ago, was it so beautiful here, I’m a billion fantastic percent sure!

But, what I wanted to say is that we must continue our work on restoring the garden, it is our duty! Let’s get started with the next part, the farm house. 

Ride over to the Baroness and tell her that it is time to proceed with the garden project, I will not accept no for an answer from her. It will not do, we must proceed with the garden, must, must, must, right away!!

Ride over to her and come back as fast as you can!

Objectives: Ask the Baroness for permission to continue work on the restoration of the gardens.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 50 with Winery Master Gardeners

Speak to the Baroness about expanding the gardens. She is standing in front of the Manor.

baroness

Bjorn and Agnetha? Yes, of course, it was them that wanted to play around a little in the old gardens down there.

Quest completed

______________

Flower Proof

baroness

Have they really restored the Sun Garden, Rita? And it looks good? A really good job, you say? I’m not really sure I can really believe what you are saying. I thought at most they would clear up the flower beds but it sounds like they have completely restored everything. Can they continue with the work of restoring the gardens, you ask? 

I don’t know, Rita. It is a big responsibility that requires experienced tradesmen. The vineyard has a long history and I won’t have hobby-builders destroying a part of that history with shoddy work.

For them to continue, I will need to see evidence of the quality of their work, Rita. Let’s do this, around here on the estate we have empty white flower pots that you have probably seen. If Bjorn and Agnetha plant some of their flowers in them, I will get a chance to see how they look. If I find that the flowers are of acceptable quality, then they can continue in their project. Ride back to Bjorn and let them know my decision.

Objectives: Ride over to Bjorn and let him know what the Baroness has said.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

It seems a compromise is in order. Return to the garden and tell Bjorn about the deal with the Baroness.

bjorn

Plant some flowers at the Winery? Doesn’t she trust us? This will take up valuable time, Rita, that we could spend working on the Moon Garden.

Quest completed

______________

Proof for the Baroness

bjorn

If the Baroness needs to see we can do our job, then we will show her, Rita! Here, this is the most beautiful of the fabulous pansies you grew. When she sees them she is going to faint with pride… And when she wakes up, she’ll have to give us her permission to continue working… How could she possibly say no to such perfection? 

Take the pansies and plant them in the pots I have marked around the Winery. Speak with the Baroness when you are done. 

Objectives: Plant the pansies around the Winery.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

The Baroness liked the flowers? Wait… You don’t have to answer that. Of COURSE she like the flowers. She didn’t hurt herself when she fainted from the happiness of seeing them, did she?

No? Strange, but she is pretty old and probably can’t see very well. Now we don’t have time to stand around chatting about this Rita. Now we need to get started!

Speak with my dear wife.

Moon Garden

agnetha

Hello there Rita. There you are riding up to me on your little horse… And you have something to tell me, I guess? We have the approval of the Baroness? That is great news, Rita. Now I can take my chainsaw and dynamite over to the Moon Garden and star cleaning up there.

But wait… Not so fast. You aren’t trying to sneak away from work are you? Nah… Didn’t think so… I can always count on you.

Take these measuring sticks and mark the edges of the Moon Garden so I know where to clear. I’ll gas up my chainsaw so it is ready to go. 

Objectives: Mark the edges of the Moon Garden with the measuring sticks you received from Agnetha.

Next Flower Species

bjorn

Today is a wonderful day to be alive, Rita. The Moon Garden is, after years of being forgotten, back to life again. I feel so lucky to have been a part of this miracle! It is so fantastically beautiful that I don’t know what to do with myself!

Flowers? Of course! How could I forget that? But what kind of flowers should we have now, Rita?

Wait… Don’t say a word. I’m getting a vision…

With Bulbs from Landon

landon

Agnetha? She is completely crazy. Did you know she used to work for me before? She used to think the sheep were too lazy… They would just walk around and graze when they could be working instead. She screamed at the sheep and tried to get them to eat the grass in straight lines so they could be used as grass cutters in Silverglade Village. I had no choice but to fire her… The sheep were so stressed out their wool fell off!

Take the bulbs and ride back to Agnetha and Bjorn… Hurry up so Agnetha doesn’t get angry with me.

The marble is scattered in the grass along the flat area by the river. When you have picked up enough of the marble, return to Bjorn.

bjorn

Thank you, Rita! Now I can start work on repairing the statues. Ride over and look, but try not to faint too many times! I planted some more little bushes while I was at it.

Bush Party

bjorn

I am tired of flowers, Rita. I can no longer stand the sight of them! Flowers are so 2012… So grey and small and incredibly boring! But now I have a new idea, a fantastic idea that is going to revolutionize the whole gardening world!

Bushes!

We are going to plant bushes in long, fine rows in the next part of the garden, “Agnetha’s Grove.” Named by me in her honor! Can you picture it, Rita? Agnetha drinking her coffee in her grove while the people stand in enormous lines to get a turn in our fantastic gardening masterpiece. Believe me Rita, this is going to bring millions of Jorvik Shillings into Jorvik when a million people come to visit Jorvik each year to come see it. Bjorn Jarl! That is what they are going to call me!! They are going to write history books in our honor!

Bushes?

That’s right! We need to plant some bushes! Ride over to my dear friend Felicity in Firgrove and ask her for shoots from her bushes, they will be perfect for our garden.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

______________

Here Come the Bushes

felicity

Are you sure you know what you are getting into, Rita? Agnetha isn’t right in the head, as you may have noticed? She actually used to work here, but I had no choice but to fire her… When I woke up one morning she had gone around the whole village and woken up all the old pensioners and put them to work weeding the gardens around the fences. When I asked her why, she told me I should stop whining and get a shovel to help. She also said the old raisins shouldn’t be lying around just collecting a pension! I really had no choice but to tell her she couldn’t work here anymore…

But you are pretty sensible Rita, take these shoots and ride back over to her and Bjorn. Maybe she has calmed down a bit recently…

Objectives: Ride back to Bjorn with the bush shoots.

Rita, sometimes you need to choose your path in life. It is important to do what makes you love if you are going to be happy. It is a bit of wisdom that I wanted to share with you.

So, it is now time for me to change paths. I am going to start riding! It looks like such amazing fun every time I see you and Summerblaze riding around here.

The garden? Which garden? Aha… Nah… Forget that Rita. That was ages ago… I’ve moved on. That was an earlier chapter in my life. Now I’m going to move on to something I’ve dreamed of for my whole life… Or at least since this morning… Riding!

I have spoken with Judy at the Equestrian Center, and she has promised to lend me a horse. Would you mind riding over there to get it for me, Rita?

A Horse for Bjorn

judy

It doesn’t sound like the best idea in the world Rita. Bjorn isn’t exactly what we would call… Responsible. But I can think he might be able to borrow old Brunte for a bit. Brunte is the kindest and calmest horse we have and if anything happens he will just make his way back here.

You don’t really need to put a lead on Brunte at all… Just go up to him and show him where he should go. He is standing over there by the stables.

Objectives: Escort Brunte to Bjorn.

Wow… What a stately trot! His name is Brunte? That must be the most perfect horse name I have ever heard! A trot worthy of a king! Brunte, do you see me in front of you? You and I are going to be winners in all the championships here in Jorvik together, and later in the whole world!

I think Agnetha wanted to talk to you about something Rita. Now I have to go out and win all the races in the whole world! We’ll see you around!

…Now… Let’s see… How do I get up into the saddle? What are these bits of metal going up to Brunte’s mouth? Why do you have bits of metal on your feet…

I can just see the Rose Garden as it will be… Anyone who sees our roses will never be able to appreciate the beauty of anything else… Anything else will seem ugly and boring… And the memory of our Rose Garden will be the only worthwhile experience on earth.

A long time ago I was interested in riding… I was a fantastic rider and I won every single prize that there was to win on Jorvik. Then I built a race track. I don’t want to brag, but it is actually the best race in the whole world. What do you think, are you ready to test it?

Rita, while we wait for the roses to bloom, you can help me with something else. I know, everything outside of the roses feels completely unimportant right now, but this is another project that really needs to be done.

We have elevated the beauty of the Winery from the old shell it used to be to almost looking like it belongs close to our gardens. But the Winery needs extra help from us to not be completely overshadowed by our fantastic gardens.

Take these bushes and plant them around the mansion Rita, so that the people working up there don’t begin to weep uncontrollably because they have to work up there instead of here with us.

No! This is not going to work! My aesthetic senses are screaming! This manual is not only useless, it is also criminally ugly too!

Rita, I simply can’t look at this manual any longer without vomiting. You can put the fountain together instead. Do it in place in Agnetha’s Grove so I won’t have to look at it until it is finished.

Agnetha, I remember her. She worked for me as an apprentice…

Do you know her?

What do I think of her?

A fantastic person! A dependable rock of a human being. Like me, she worked day and night and never let anything get in the way of the work. I wanted her to remain here as my apprentice so I could teach her the art of blacksmithing and train her to be the best blacksmith Jorvik has ever seen.

But then that hideous Bjorn had carried her off with his talk of gardens and how together they would be famous gardeners. Agnetha would conquer the world, he said, and Agnetha feel for it all. She gave up everything she had to follow him and help him achieve his dreams.

It really was a terrible shame… She had so much potential… And it was all ruined by a ridiculous dreamer with nothing but air between his ears.

But… Love is like that. It can make the best of us do the worst things.

Now, here is an iron gate like you asked for. Let Agnetha know she is always welcome to come back and apprentice for me any time she likes.

I don’t know how they got there but when I saw them, I felt a darkness in myself. Should these fantastic creations just lie here in the trash when they could be out bringing happiness to people who see them placed out around our gardens?

Then cam a vision, Rita, you understand? You know what we need to do? Can you picture it?

No? 

It doesn’t matter, we need to follow my vision. Bring the statues back from the old race track and I’ll explain my plan a bit better.

Now let’s go see Conrad about the finished grill for the tourists.

A Tailor-Made Grill

conrad_marsdeen

So! Here is a first-rate iron grill perfect for the barbecue. I hope you will have many pleasant times by the fire. What? Forest fire? Oh, my lord, those tourists. I have to say… I hope they have learned an important lesson.

Objectives: Ride back with the grill to the tourists in Hollow Woods.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Conrad does not approve…

Take the grill up to the tourists.

gunther

What a nice grill! We will have plenty of  wonderful barbecues on it when it is finished!

First we need to gather material to build the rest of the grill. 

Quest completed

______________

Wood and Stones

gunther

I saw an abandoned summer house a short way from here, maybe we can find some loose stones there? And wood, there are logs laying around in the forest.

Objectives: Look for stones at the abandoned summer house and for logs in Hollow Woods.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

All of the materials are marked on your map. When you have collected them all, return to Gunther.

gunther

Such good luck that you have a strong and noble horse! This will be perfect for building a fireplace.

Quest completed

______________

To Build a Fireplace

gunther

You found excellent stones and logs in the perfect size. Now we get to build the fireplace! The logs can be used as benches and the stones as a foundation for the barbecue. And to crown our fireplace, the grill!

Objectives: Place the stone, logs and grill.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse, and place the components a little way off the trail.

When you have built the fireplace, return to Gunther.

gunther

What a splendid fireplace, perfect for cooking outdoors! Now the fire can’t spread to the forest. In hindsight I can understand how irresponsible we were when we tried to grill on the ground. 

Quest completed

______________

A New Fireplace

gunther

This turned out better than I thought it would. What a difference it makes to get to sit on benches instead of the ground. We should have listened to Gretchen, she is such a clever girl. I wonder from who she gets that from? Haha!

Objectives: Talk to Gunther.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Yes, Gunther, you are a stupid, stupid man.

Objectives: Felicity’s thanks.

Rewards: 200 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP, A Gift from Felicity

Reputation: 40 with Firgrove

You’re very welcome, my dear.

What you have done for me and Summerbreeze is invaluable, but take this as a token of my eternal gratitude! I hope it’ll fit you. Tonight I’ll take Summerbreeze out on a long awaited ride!

Quest completed

Something weird is up at Valedale Lake. Go speak with Mr Andersson about it.

What Has Happened to the Valedale Lake?

mr_andersson

Rita! Can you see what has happened to my beautiful lake? It has started to be overgrown and contaminated. And it smells bad. Is someone dumping waste in it? Can you please inspect the lake a little closer. You can go farther out in the water with your horse, than I can do with my short legs.

Objectives: Inspect the lake to see if anyone may have dumped waste there.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 60 with Valedale

Inspect the four locations indicated on your map. Return to Mr Andersson when you are done.

mr_andersson

Did you not find anything? Nothing at all? Not even fish?

Quest completed

______________

Where is the Fish?

mr_andersson

Oh no, this is not good at all! And you say you didn’t see a single fish? It looks like poaching. Don’t they know that the fish are important for the lake’s wellbeing?

Objectives: Talk to Mr Andersson.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Valedale

Mr Andersson knows more about this issue.

mr_andersson

The fish keep the water fresh and clean in the Valedale Lake and without them it will be overgrown and contaminated. And the fish that swim here are protected, by the way.

Quest completed

______________

New Fish

mr_andersson

We have two problems here; the first is that apparently some nasty characters don’t hesitate to destroy our lovely nature! But the second and most acute is that we need new fish for the lake and that in a hurry. Do you want to help me?

Objectives: Do you want to help Mr Andersson to find new fish for Valedale Lake?

So good that there is people like you, Rita. I wish that more humans cared about nature as we do. Now let’s see, I think I have an old fishing rod somewhere.

Quest completed

______________

Step One

mr_andersson

But, first of all you need to get some good bait for fishing! I usually find a lot of fat worms here in the mountain pass. Borrow this spade and dig up some worms.

Objectives: Dig for worms in the mountain pass between the Valedale Lake and Firgrove.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 60 with Valedale

Go up into the mountain pass and dig at the spots marked on your map. Return to Mr Andersson when you have collected all the worms.

mr_andersson

Such nice fat worms! The fish will love them.

Quest completed

Return to Mr Andersson tomorrow.

Elizabeth has noticed something weird as well. Let’s go see her in Valedale.

Waterfall’s New Color

elizabeth_sunbeam

Heya Rita. Thank you for coming. You might have seen that there is something mysterious about the waterfall. I have no idea what has happened but it can’t be good. Avalon, our most knowledgeable druid, has begun to investigate what has happened. Can you ride over and ask him if he needs any help? He lives in the village by the waterfall. Ride over the bridge and you will find him.

Objectives: Ride over and speak with Avalon, he lives right beside the waterfall.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Over the river and through the woods to Avalon’s house we go!

faceless_druid

Hmmm… How can I be of assistance? The green waterfall? You must be Rita! Elizabeth said that she would send over someone who might be able to help me with this interesting problem. Thank you for coming to help.

Quest completed

______________

Green Isn’t Good

faceless_druid

Rita? That is your name right? Perfect. The green waterfall! I understand someone or something has poisoned the water with a very powerful energy. Hmmm… How should I explain this…

Objectives: Listen to what Avalon has to say.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Avalon will tell you more about what he thinks is happening.

faceless_druid

It’s no common contaminant that made the water green, you understand, but a dangerous magical material that has spread into the bedrock and into the groundwater. Whoever would dare to be so careless with nature I don’t know but I have my suspicions.

I need to look into this more. Unfortunately I just don’t have the strength anymore to move around like I used to… so it is good you came to help. You get to be my legs in this investigation. Now we’ll get started! There are three things I need your help with right now.

Quest completed

______________

Earlier Incidents

faceless_druid

Ask Elizabeth what she knows. Has anything like this ever happened in Jorvik before? If this has happened before we might be a lot closer to figuring out a solution to the problem.

Objectives: Ask Elizabeth if the water has ever turned green before.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Go back to Elizabeth’s house in Valedale and ask her if this has happened before.

elizabeth_sunbeam

If the waterfall has been green before? Not as far as I know. But now that you mention it I have heard about a similar situation.

Quest completed

______________

Always This Dark Core

elizabeth_sunbeam

It was a very long time ago Rita. Dark Core came to the island and drilled into the mountain at a few different places in Jorvik. I hear people talking about the water changing color around where they were doing the drilling… and about other mysterious things happening too. I never saw anything myself but I’m sure that there is some truth to the rumors at the time… That company always seems to have mysterious and evil intentions. Tell Avalon about this, maybe it will help him.

Objectives: Tell Avalon about what Elizabeth has told you.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Report back to Avalon with the news from Elizabeth.

faceless_druid

Aha. Dark Core. As I suspected. It seems likely that they are behind the green water this time again.

Quest completed

______________

A Sample from the Waterfall

faceless_druid

Hmm. We need to examine the waterfall closer. Take this test tube and fill it with water from the waterfall. When you bring me the sample I can examine it more closely. The water from the waterfall might be dangerous so don’t spend too much time in the field by the waterfall. Be careful!

Objectives: Fill the test tube with water from the waterfall.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Follow the path up behind Avalon’s house to get to the waterfall. Once you have filled the test tube, return to him.

faceless_druid

Good good. It will be interesting to analyze the sample you took.

Quest completed

______________

Green Water Anywhere Else?

faceless_druid

We need to see if the green water has spread or if it is only around the waterfall. I’m wondering specifically about Valedale Lake. Ride over there and take another sample from the water where it comes into the lake from the waterfall. Here is another test tube for you to use. I’ll cross my fingers and hope it hasn’t spread to there… but I fear for the worst.

Objectives: Ride up to Valedale Lake and fill the test tube with water from the waterfall there.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Once up at Valedale Lake, go through the finish line of the race, and follow the trail across the first bridge, then go down off the road to the right. You can get up to a platform of rock under the waterfall.

When you have filled the test tube return to Avalon.

faceless_druid

Mhmm. So the water there is green too. I understand. I’ll analyze the test sample you took there too. What? There was a roadblock there? A guard in a green coat too? That sounds like Dark Core alright, Rita.

Quest completed

Return to Avalon tomorrow.

Objectives: Ride over to Andy and ask if he would like to come to tea at Mrs Packard’s.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Anyway, ride down to the sand pits and give Andy your invitation.

Oh! Grandma’s pancake cake is about the best thing I know. I’m full up right now… but ask her to save a piece for me for later please!

To Find Special Plants

elizabeth_sunbeam

You can find water lilies on the other side of the bridge here in Valedale, over by the reeds. It’s said that the water lilies from Valedale have a special sort of power, like Aideen’s flowers. The last thing we need is a thorn from the thorn bushes towards the Observatory. The thorns are very poisonous if they’re not properly prepared, but if you do it right, they can be used for anything. I need them right away!

Objectives: Find a water lily leaf by the reeds in Valedale and a thorn from a thorn bush on the road to the Observatory.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

The water lily leaf can be found across the bridge. Go along the road next to the water, towards the waterfall. The leaf is in the reeds.

The thorn bush can be found on the main trail to the Observatory. They start on the side of the road once you are out of the woods and start heading up into the mountains.

When you have both items, return to Elizabeth.

Thank you! I can finish the brew now.

Objectives: Listen to what Felicity has to say.

Keeping conditions secret is not always something you want in a health care professional. You should drop her like a bad habit, Felicity…

However, she told me about the cure that you and Elizabeth are preparing so I still feel hopeful. You have no idea how much your help means to me, Rita. I will continue hand feeding Summerbreeze until tomorrow.

Quest completed

Return to Elizabeth tomorrow.

Let’s go see what Harold in Silverglade needs help with.

Nobody Likes Melted Icecream

harold

Yawn… Do you know what the secret to ice cream is? Besides using extra fresh milk from Valedale cows you need to whip the milk all night. Yes, it is true, so you can imagine how tired I must be!

But enough about me. I know that not many can beat you and Summerblaze when it comes to speed, so what do you say to helping me deliver some ice cream to Firgrove?

Objectives: Ride the fastest you can with the ice cream to Firgrove.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

This part is run as a race. You cannot use the transport van, and you must make it to Mrs Packard before time runs out. Though, you are given ten minutes, which is more than ample time to get there. You could probably walk there and still have time to spare…

The clock stops when you reach Mrs Packard at her house in Firgrove.

mrs_packard

Hey! Look who it is! What a nice surprise! And with the ice cream I ordered.

Quest completed

Can I Hear Clucking from the Chicken Coop?

andy

Hi, Rita! Do you want some eggs? We have plenty! Can you collect some eggs to take some over to Grandma? You just have to put your hands inside the chicken wire, the eggs are in the hay. One dozen should be enough. Can you ride with a basket of eggs to Firgrove Village? I promise my grandma will be overjoyed! Good luck and be sure to ride carefully! The eggs will break if you aren’t careful riding!

Objectives: Pick up some eggs from the chicken coop and ride to Mrs Packard in Firgrove Village.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Ride to the chicken coop, and click on it to pick up the eggs. The eggs will then be in a basket behind your saddle. If you ride at any speed above a walk, the ‘Danger!’ meter will fill up. Once it fills up completely, the eggs will break. You can prevent this by slowing to a walk or stopping completely to let the meter drain when it gets too high, before riding more.

Take the eggs to Mrs Packard’s house in Firgrove.

mrs_packard

The eggs are so fine! It is great to hear that the chickens are doing well again! Both of us are so grateful for your help dear Rita. You will of course get something for your effort. But I have one last thing I want to ask you about.

Delivery to Elizabeth

vet

I spoke to Elizabeth in Valedale. She’s really good at mixing brews. We agreed that you can help us get a special apple. When you find it, you can give it to her. You may have visited the Applegrove opposite the Thornrocks? It’s said that during each season, there’s one apple that shines like gold. Ride along and look for that apple. Hurry, time is short!

Objectives: Find the special apple in the Applegrove opposite the Thornrocks and give it to Elizabeth in Valedale.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with Keepers of Aideen

The clue ‘opposite the Thornrocks’ means ‘across the river from the Thornrocks.’

Applegrove is along the Fire Trail. Once you cross the bride, as if you were going to Firgrove, instead of going up the hill, take the first trail off to the right. It is a road, but it is not marked on the map. Follow the road for a little bit, and off to the right-hand side you will see trees with apples on them. To get the golden apple, you will have to leave the road a bit and go down into the trees.

quest-applegrove

Once you find the golden apple, take it to Elizabeth in Valedale.

elizabeth_sunbeam

Hi Rita! Oh, you found the apple! The vet told me you were coming. I’ll use the apple as the base for the cure. Tomorrow, I’ll need more help from you, because I need two more ingredients. Now, however, I have to start the brew. It’ll take a while. Felicity says she’s extremely grateful for your help in this difficult time.

Quest completed

Return to Elizabeth tomorrow.

Speak with Claire at the Valedale stables. She has news of a friend in need.

An Assignment for a Cow Friend

claire

Hey Rita! This is how it is… Sophie needs help to milk the cows up here. She got such a pain in her back that she had to stop before all the cows had been milked. I’m really busy today so I thought that since you already know our cows you might be able to help? Sophie is over there with all the equipment, the poor thing! Go over there and give her a hand, I’ll be sure to give you something for your trouble.

advice from the vet, andy, are the chickens laying eggs, bones and leftovers, feed summerbreeze, felicity, felicity needs help, mrs packard, no one is afraid for the wolf, return to the stable, torches and fire outside the chicken coop, vet, what should we do

Let’s go see how the chickens are doing in their new home.

Are the Chickens Laying Eggs?

andy

I think something is wrong with the chickens, Rita… They are scared to go out of their new house! Yesterday evening they were seemingly happy and were out enjoying themselves. But this morning they haven’t been outside the house at all. Something must have happened during the night. Can you see if you can find any clues?

Objectives: Look for clues around the chicken coop.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Ride over the chicken coop and see if you can find any clues as to what is scaring the chickens.

Return to Andy when you have found something.

andy

Oh no, a piece of fur! Could it be from a wolf? Yes… It is. This is not good. And you found tracks? Where do they go? Into the forest? Well, we can be sure the wolf has been here.

Quest completed

______________

No One is Afraid for the Wolf

andy

I have a plan, Rita. We have to lure the wolf away from the chickens. I think it can work if we put out some wolf food in the forest. The wolves will have something to eat and won’t need to come here. My grandma has cooked a steak, I think she might have some bones and leftovers from the dinner. Ride and ask her if she can give you some.

Objectives: Ride to Mrs Packard and ask if she has some leftovers from the dinner she cooked.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Mrs Packard is standing outside her house in Firgrove. See what she says about helping you with your wolf problem.

mrs_packard

Rita, my dear friend! What are you saying? Those darn wolves, they always cause trouble. They need to eat, but not our fine animals!

Quest completed

______________

Bones and Leftovers

mrs_packard

Actually I have some bones from the steak I cooked. You can take them and ride far away into the forest and put them there. I hope the wolf won’t frighten our chickens any more. If we put the bones far enough away the wolves might not come back.

Objectives: Ride and put out the leftovers away from the chicken coop.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Ride to the orange spots marked on your map, south of the Silverglade Mine. Place out the leftovers in three different spots.

Return to Andy when you are finished.

andy

Did she have leftovers? Cool! Now we have to hope it will work. But to be on the safe side we need to have some lights around the chicken coop.

Quest completed

______________

Torches and Fire Outside the Chicken Coop

andy

I think it will work well if we had some torches outside the chicken coop. That way I can keep an eye on the chicken coop when I watch over my sheep. I put up some torches while you were away. Here are some matches, ride over and light the torches and we can hope that the chickens actually come out.

Objectives: Light the torches around the chicken coop.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

There are two torches mounted on the sheep fence, near the chicken coop. Light both of them and return to Andy when you are done.

andy

This should do it. It has been a long day, I think that both of us and the chickens might need some rest now.

Quest completed

Return to Andy tomorrow

Felicity is having a crisis at the stable. Go see her in Firgrove, maybe you can help.

Felicity Needs Help!

felicity

I don’t know what to do! One of my horses, Summerbreeze, hasn’t eaten or had anything to drink since yesterday. And for a couple of days he’s been acting real strange. I don’t recognize him. He’s even been aggressive and usually he’s the nicest and calmest horse in the world. I’m getting very worried. Can you help me, please?

Objectives: Will you help Felicity?

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

Of course you’ll help.

felicity

Advice From the Vet

I need to think about this for a while. It sounds a bit familiar… In any case, the most important thing now is to make the horse eat and drink. I have an idea, will you help me?

I’m all ears, doctor!

Sick animals don’t want to eat, but if you feed them by hand they sometimes will. Do you want to try? Meanwhile, I’ll read some books and old notes. You can ride back to Felicity and tell her that I’m looking into it.

Quest completed

Ride back to Firgrove and speak with Felicity.

Return to the Stable

So did you talk to the vet? What did she say?

Objectives: Tell Felicity what the vet said.

Take this and feed Summerbreeze. He’s on the left side of the stable.

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

mario

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.

council_man

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

buildmaster_olaf

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.

buildmaster_olaf

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

Quest completed

______________

Foundation for Foundations

buildmaster_olaf

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.

buildmaster_olaf

Great. Now we’ll check my machine here…

Quest completed

______________

Fire in the Hole!

buildmaster_olaf

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.

buildmaster_olaf

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

Quest completed

______________

Used is Best

buildmaster_olaf

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

Quest completed

Return to Derek tomorrow.

______________

Day 13

Gondola Lift is Delivered

derek

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.

Ride up to Olaf and see the gondola delivered.

buildmaster_olaf

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

Quest completed

______________

We Are Missing an Excavator

buildmaster_olaf

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.

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?

______________

Lost Zombies Horses

josh

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.

Video Game All Day

james

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.

Felicity has finished fixing the chicken wire for you. Go see her in Firgrove.

Felicity’s Chicken Net

felicity

Hello Rita! Now the chicken wire is ready! You can ride down to the chicken coop and see if it fits!

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards on this one, sorry!

Ride down to the chicken coop and put the wire on it. You have to be dismounted to use the chicken wire.

Speak with Andy when you are finished.

andy

Well done, Rita. The chicken coop is really nice. Now we only need some chickens…

Quest completed

______________

Catch Some Chickens

andy

I have an idea. I know there are chickens in this forest, wild chickens. They are very shy so it won’t be easy to get them here. I have prepared a bag with chicken feed. If you sprinkle some in front of the forest, maybe they will come out to us eventually.

Objectives: Ride out in the forest and spread out the chicken feed.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

The spots for you to put the chicken feed are marked in orange on your map. There are three areas to put it down.

Return to Andy when you are finished.

andy

Did you put out three small piles? That sounds good. I’m so excited to see if the chickens will come.

Quest completed

______________

Hay While Waiting for the Chickens

andy

I guess we have to wait for a while before the chickens dare to come out. We can make it more cozy in the chicken coop while we wait! I think the chickens would like some fresh hay to sleep on. Can you ride to Felicity and ask her for some hay from the stable?

Objectives: Ride to Felicity in Firgrove and ask if you may have some hay.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation 15 with Firgrove

Hey, you want some hay? Well, of course you may.

Go back to Felicity and ask her to lend you some hay.

felicity

I’m glad to hear that the net fit! Now you want some hay for the chicken coop. Of course I can fix that for you!

Quest completed

______________

Make the Chicken Coop Cozy More Cozy With Hay

felicity

You can take some hay from the bale over there. Ride down to your chicken coop and lay it on the floor so it’s fresh and smells good when the chickens come. Good luck!

Objectives: Take some hay, put it in the chicken coop and talk to Andy.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Go back to the chicken coop and put the hay inside the wire.

Speak with Andy when you are done.

andy

The hay smells so good! I wonder if the chickens have come out yet?

Quest completed

______________

Catch Chickens

andy

I thought I saw something white among the trees where you sprinkled the chicken feed. Maybe it’s some chickens! I think you will have to dismount from your horse when you pick them up so you don’t frighten them away. Do you remember where you sprinkled the food? After you catch the chickens you can let them out in the chicken coop.

Objectives: Catch all chickens where you sprinkled the chicken feed and let them out into the chicken coop. Talk to Andy when you’re done.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

For some reason, picking up a chicken, then putting it into the chicken coop, each count as an action. There are three chickens to pick up, then putting the three chickens in the coop, that’s six actions.

Speak to Andy when you are done.

andy

Such gorgeous chickens! Grandma will be really happy now! I think the chickens will enjoy having a house of their own. It will be much nicer than in the forest with all those predators.

Quest completed

Return to Andy tomorrow.

Will has started a new race up around his windmill.

Try the Windmill Race

mr_andersson

Hello Rita! You know what? I have a sneaking suspicion that you love to compete with Summerblaze. Am I right? I knew it!

A long time ago there used to be a race trail around the windmill here. The track is still there even if it is hard to see. Do you think you can do as well as the old masters did on this track? You think you can? You certainly are confident, that’s a good thing. But this is a tough track so don’t think for a second this will be an easy victory for you.

Get ready to go and I will get your time!

Good luck!

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards on this one, sorry!

Ride the windmill track through, and speak with Will when you are done.

mr_andersson

Wow. That was a great ride Rita. It certainly is a joy to watch a master rider like you flow through the track.

If you want to try again just let me know. See you!

Quest completed

You can now do this race daily.

Now let’s get to the story! Go see Linda at the Winery. Alex has returned.

Alex Returns

linda

Hi there! Great news! As you can see, Alex is back!

Objectives: Talk to Alex.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 90 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Alex will be happy to see you again.

alex

Nice to see you again, my friends. It’s been a long journey and unfortunately, it was pretty unsuccessful.

Quest completed

______________

Alex Says

alex

Both Lisa and Anne have been traveling the world. Lisa toured with her rock band and have done great concerts all over the world. But people say that some time ago, when the tour was over, she returned to the Jorvik stables, picked up Starshine and rode away… Since then, no one has seen her. But we believe that she is somewhere here on Jorvik.

Objectives: Listen to Alex.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Alex will tell you more.

alex

Anne was a successful dressage competitor. Suddenly one day she disappeared during a competition in France. There’s not a single clue of where she went. She’s disappeared without a trace. This was almost two years ago and not a peep has been heard from her.

The next step will probably be to try and find Lisa. She’s probably the only one we have chance of finding. When we know more about where Justin could be, we’ll search for him too…

Quest completed

______________

Call for a Council

alex

The Druids, Keepers of Aideen, have called a council meeting. They’ve announced that they want you to attend, Rita. However, I don’t know how you can get there, because it’s a very special place. Linda and I will get there our own way but you need to talk to Elizabeth in Valedale. Shecan transfer outsiders to the Secret Stonering where the meeting will take place.

Objectives: Ride to Valedale and talk to Elizabeth.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 35 with Keepers of Aideen

Elizabeth will be able to help you. Go see her at her house in Valedale.

elizabeth_sunbeam

It’s great that you could come. I’ll teach you how to go to the druid’s meeting without having the special attributes as a druid or Soulrider has.

Quest completed

______________

Council in the Secret Stonering

elizabeth_sunbeam

The path behind my house leads to the four rune stones. Continue past them. There, you’ll find a spiral path surrounded by other rune marked stones. Be sure to ride in a clockwise spiral along the path until the Portal opens in the middle. Ride into the portal and you’ll travel to the Secret Stonering and meet the druid Council there.

Listen to the Council, ask your questions and talk to me back here again when the meeting is finished. Keep it a secret how to travel there, please.

Objectives: Participate in the council. Travel there by following the spiral path. It’s beyond the runestones, behind and above Elizabeth’s house. Talk to Elizabeth afterwards.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 140 XP

Reputation: 300 with Keepers of Aideen

Follow Elizabeth’s instructions.

You must stay on the path, all the way to the center of the spiral. When you reach the center you will be automatically transported to the Secret Stonering. Once there, approach the Council to begin the meeting. You must ask all of the questions given to you before you are able to leave.

fripp

We are the Keepers of Aideen. We greet you, newcomer. I am Fripp.

***

elizabeth_sunbeam

Druids and Soulriders, we are gathered here today for an extra council. Especially welcome our newcomer. This is Rita and she’s the one I told you about.

***

fripp

Well done, honorable Sunbeam.

Rita, it’s so sad that we have to meet under these circumstances when tie is short and the cold fingers of the darkness reaches for us. But we wouldn’t have summoned you if it wasn’t important.

***

faceless_druid

She’s not ready. She’s too inexperienced. As far as I know she’s not even able to talk to her horse yet, is she?

You should know that I was against this from the very beginning, I…

***

fripp

Quiet! If we could get hold of all four Soulriders we wouldn’t need to do this, but Elizabeth Sunbeam assures that Rita is of the right kind and has the best qualifications to be a legendary Soulrider. Actually, better than anyone in a long time. Tell us, Elizabeth.

***

elizabeth_sunbeam

Thank you, Fripp. I’ve told you that she passed the “test.” You know, the first test where you can see which of the four powers you belong to by activating your power’s runestone. To keep the secret, I’ve only told Fripp about what really happened, until now…

***

faceless_druid

Get to the point, druid. I’m not convinced yet.

***

elizabeth_sunbeam

She activated all four runestones.

***

faceless_druid

:O

***

elizabeth_sunbeam

Rita possesses all four powers. As you all know, it’s been more than a hundred years since this happened the last time. This innocent little girl has the potential to be the strongest Soulrider of them a in modern times! Maybe the strongest ever… But enough about that. She needs training and experience but we don’t have the luxury of time now.

***

faceless_druid

But she doesn’t have any training.

***

alex

Mmm… We didn’t have any training when it started for us…

***

fripp

True, true. We’re done with this now, and I assume that no one questions her participation here any more? … Good… We have much more important things to talk about so we have to do the best we can and have time for regarding training of Rita when the opportunity arises.

Let’s summarize the situation. We know that Jorvik once more is being threatened by the great Darkness, the one called “Garnok.” We tell be the illegal and dark magic which has started haunting the neighborhood in a lot of different ways. Even our perceptive Rita has noticed this.

That’s why it’s time to perform the Light ceremony so we can stop Garnok for now, but it’s not that easy…

Alex and Linda are two of the four Soulriders we can get hold of. Lisa and Anne have disappeared. Rita can probably replace one of them but we have to continue our search for Lisa or Anne because we need four Soulriders for the ceremony and that’s how it was even before the Lost Book of Ceremonies disappeared…

***

elizabeth_sunbeam

Well summarized master Fripp. So far Garnok is not that strong, but we’ve noticed that there seems to be a lot of strange characters out there who are interested in what we do and they’re curious about the dangerous side effects that will appear when Garnok gets stronger. We also have to focus on finding and identifying our enemies before they grow too strong…

***

faceless_druid

Well, the time has come. We’ll spread the word to all druids in Jorvik. We’ll tell them that it’s time for the ceremony again. The primary goal for all of us is to find at least one of the disappeared Soulriders. Let’s call a meeting again soon, when we have more information to share.

***

fripp

Thank you all for coming on such short notice and thank you Rita. I hope you’ll accept a membership when the time is right. Please stay and ask some questions, if you want. We’ll answer the as best we can.

***

What are the Keepers of Aideen?

fripp

We’re a group of druids who’ve been on this island since the dawn of time. We acted more in secrecy in the past, but today a lot of people know about our existence, even though our real purpose is a well kept secret. For now, I can’t tell you the innermost secret about our real purpose but without hiding anything I can tell you that our main task is to protect Jorvik from Garnok – the dark force – so it won’t grow stronger and take over the world.

***

What Can a Keeper of Aideen Do?

faceless_druid

We do what we always have done, since the dawn of time. Every time we notice that Garnok is gaining more power we gather the four Soulriders through a ceremony described in the Lost Book of Ceremonies. That ceremony can prevent Garnok from spreading out and we can push it back, at least for a while. We can never permanently stop Garnok, but so far we’ve managed to stop it from poisoning our world with its malevolence. Garnok is unpredictable and can be active anything between once a year to slumbering for decades. During the thousands of years we have existed we have not failed yet…

***

What’s a Soulrider?

elizabeth_sunbeam

There is always at least four Soulriders. It’s always a special girl who like you has a unique bond to her horse. A horse whose soul is one with the island of Jorvik’s essence… Soulriders are rare nowadays and we have problems finding new ones. We hope that one day, you will become a Soulrider and help us in the struggle against Garnok and others who work against us…

***

What Do We Know About Lisa and Anne?

alex

I can tell you all I know about Lisa. After her success in the Star Academy school on Jorvik I was told that Lisa went on a tour with her rock band for a couple of years. It wasn’t easy contacting her during this time. I’ve traveled and searched for her without any luck The tour is now over and people say that she’s on vacation. But Herman in the Jorvik Stable had news. He says that she’s been in the stable and taken her horse, Starshine, out for a ride. This was a couple of weeks ago and after that, it seems she disappeared without a trace. But we think she is still somewhere on Jorvik.

Linda, can you tell us what we know about Anne?

***

linda

I have made inquiries about Anne but always come to dead-ends. Anne was a very successful dressage competitor and traveled around to compete and to show her skills. One day, about two years ago, during a competition in France, the speaker called her name but she didn’t show up. The audience was disappointed and wondered what could’ve happened. No one’s seen her since that day. There is no trace of Anne or her horse, Concorde.

Unfortunately, that’s all I know.

***

What’s This Place?

fripp

The Secret Stonering is a place like no other. Time and space work in different ways in here, compared to the rest of the world. We, the Keepers of Aideen, have the ability to travel here from different places on Jorvik when we hold council meetings. You can always return to this place and due to its special nature you can eet us here again – not yet then. I hope you understand.

***

Who Are Against the Druids?

fripp

Dark Core, controlled by Mr Sands, is one of our most dangerous enemies. Thank goodness you realized that Mr Sands is active on this island again so we can be ready to act when they show themselves. Dark Core claims to be a multinational company with the same interests as G.E.D. But we think that Mr Sands is looking for a way to control Garnok and use that powerful force to take over the world. We don’t think that’s possible and the ony thing he’ll be able to do is to destroy our world when he tries.

We have more people who want to stop us, or have their own agendas regarding Garnok. So be careful out there! We have to identify what they want and what they’re doing. There are more stakeholders involved than ever before and Garnok isn’t even that strong yet…

***

What Does Justin Have to Do With This?

elizabeth_sunbeam

As you proved, Justin is unfortunately Mr Sands’ grandson. It’s clear that Mr Sands has a purpose for him and that he has something big going on since he doesn’t dare show his ugly face here again. We should invest some time and energy to find the poor boy. Not only to save him from Mr Sands, but also to be able to stop Mr Sands’ plans and maybe get some information about what exactly they are from Justin.

***

What is the Book of Ceremonies?

fripp

Funny that you ask that. The book is used at the ceremony to prevent Garnok from growing in strength and to temporarily chase him away. Unfortunately the book has been lost for a couple hundred years and that’s why we call it the – Lost – Book of Ceremonies. Though, we’ve been careful and made a copy of some of the most important chapters and the four parts of that copy is spread out between us druids. One day we hope to find the book because it will make the ceremony more powerful and it contains secrets written by ancient druids which we have forgotten or don’t know the meaning of today.

The last time we acted against Garnok, circumstances made our Soulriders do it in a different way…

***

alex

Right… That’s a mild way of putting it on.

***

What Do We Do Now?

fripp

You can return here whenever you want to ask us questions again. When time has come we will give you some tasks. You have to be patient and wait until we have the right task, right training and a teacher for you. We think of time differently and in your world you may think that time is slow. For us it is a bit… different. So we ask you to be patient.

***

elizabeth_sunbeam

Besides learning how to be a Soulrider – if you will accept our offer to be that – we hope you want to keep looking for Justin, Lisa, and Anne. You also have to look for and try to identify which new enemies we have out there. As soon as we have a suitable task for you, we’ll let you know, Rita. We need you!

***

Thanks, I Don’t Have Any More Questions for Now.

elizabeth_sunbeam

Ok, Rita. You know that you can return to this place they same way I showed you, if you have any more questions. See you in Valedale. Talk to me when we meet there.

***

fripp

Return and wait! We will contact you soon. See you Rita, thanks for coming here!

My Dear Little Pony

alex

Rita, I’m only borrowing this old horse because my horse, Tin-Can, has been put at the Jorvik Stable for the winter. The bridge in southern Silverglade is broken, so unfortunately I haven’t been able to go and get Tin-Can yet. Herman, the guy who owns the barn, is going to ship over Tin-Can! Can you help me pick Tin-Can up?

Ride over and meet Herman where he is arriving with the boat so he doesn’t have to wait for me… I’m sure he is already there. I’m sure you and my horse Tin-Can will get along great… even if he is a little bit… special.

Quest completed

______________

Herman Here!

herman

Ahoy there young lady! It isn’t too often I go out on a boat, but Captain Brus nicely offered to ship Tin-Can here for us. You know the bridge to Southern Jorvik broke during the winter? Shipping the horse was the only solution for now. Of course Alex shouldn’t have to be without her horse!

Objectives: Listen to what Herman has to say.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Herman will tell you more about himself.

Take Me to Alex

tin-can

Strange that I can speak? Ha ha ha! Some people think so. I’ll tell you what is strange isn’t that I can talk but that you hear me. It isn’t everyone who can speak with a horse, you know. Thanks to your work with the druids some new and unexplained powers have begun to awake…

So, my friend. Show me the way to Alex! I don’t have any shoes right now so please don’t ride too fast… I have sore hooves.

Objectives: Escort Tin-Can to Alex. But don’t ride too fast.. Tin-Can doesn’t have any horseshoes and has sore hooves.

Rewards: 85 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

But anyway!

Ride with Tin-Can back to the Winery.

alex

Tin-Can! Tin-Can! My old true friend! Finally we get to be together again! I’ll never leave you ever again!

Quest completed

Perfect Shoes for Tin-Can

I am splitting this day in half. Linda is ready to talk to you again on this day, and will continue the game’s main storyline, meaning spoilers. I will make this post for the major part of the quests for this day that do not contain spoilers.

Stolen Money?

tan

Do you think someone may have taken my money? Who would do such a thing? I have to check if anyone has seen something suspicious. Rita, you’ve already helped me a lot, but it would be really kind if you could help me find out who the thief is.

Maybe you can ask if Barney at the silo has seen anything? Barney hears a lot of what happens around here and has many contacts. Not what you’d expect from him, but it’s a fact. Yeah, I’m talking about the Barney who hangs out at the silo east of Steve’s farm.

Objectives: Ask Barney at the silo, east of Steve’s farm, if he has seen or heard anything about a thief in this neighborhood.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

Things have gone real bad here in the ‘hood since you left.

Go and speak with Barney about the issue.

barney

Hello there! What are you talking about? Very unpleasant. I haven’t seen any thieves at least.

Quest completed

______________

Scouting From the Hill

barney

No, we don’t have any thieves here that I know of, but talk to Will, he has a good view from his mill on the hill!

Objectives: Talk to Will at the mill on the hill outside Silverglade Village and see if he’s seen anything suspicious.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

So maybe Will has seen something? Let’s go ask!

will

If I’ve seen anything strange? A thief? No, no thieves in sight. Only a beautiful landscape.

Quest completed

______________

Farther Into the Woods

will

I can see a lot from the top of my hill but I can’t see all the way to Valedale. My advice is to ride to Valedale and check if they’ve heard something. You know, the druids can see and hear things that on one else can… Talk to the druid Elizabeth.

Objectives: Ride to Elizabeth in Valedale Village and ask if she’s seen anything strange.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

So maybe Elizabeth knows? You never can tell with those druids…

elizabeth_sunbeam

Hello my friend! Nice to see you. I’m also waiting for news about Alex, but I haven’t heard anything yet. What? A thief? No, I haven’t noticed anything unusual. Poor Tan who lost her money.

Quest completed

______________

Deeper Into the Woods

elizabeth_sunbeam

We druids have a lot of abilities, but we don’t master all kinds of magic, as many of the uninitiated, like Will seem to think. So there’s no way I can help you find out what happened to Tan’s money.

Valedale feels peaceful as usual but ask Sonja, who you met earlier. She knows Hollow Woods better than anyone here. You’ll find her in the neighborhood. She likes to ride around in the middle of Hollow Woods, close to the main road. Search southwest of the old abandoned summerhouse.

Objectives: Find Sonja in Hollow Woods. She likes to ride around in the middle of  the forest, close to the road which goes through it. Search southwest of the old abandoned summerhouse.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

Sonja may need some chasing to be able to talk to her. She rides in counter-clockwise circles around the hill, across the road from the abandoned summer house. If you stand on the road, eventually she’ll come into view.

Speak to her about the theft.

sonja

Rita! Nice seeing you again! Money you say? I haven’t seen anything strange but I found some coins on the ground over there.

Quest completed

______________

Coins on the Ground

sonja

Where I found the coins? Below the bird’s nest over there, a stone’s throw away to the north, close to the runestone.

Objectives: Ride to the nest with the red bird, not so far away to the north where Sonja rides around. Close to a runestone.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

If you continue up the road towards Valedale, the runestone can be seen from the road. Go towards it, and Birdie is around on the other side, perched on a large rock.

birdie

Tweet, tweeeet, tweet, tweeeet!

Quest completed

______________

Twetweet!

birdie

Tweeeet, tweet, tweet?!

Objectives: You decide to tak to Sonja and tell her what you have discovered…

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

This bird seems distressed. Maybe Sonja knows what’s the matter.

sonja

You must be kidding?! You say that the birds have lined their nest with Tan’s money? Is it true? The birds must like shiny things!

Quest completed

______________

Bird Thief

sonja

You have to ride to Tan and tell her! Here, take these coins, they must belong to her. See you Rita! Say hello to Tan from me.

Objectives: Ride and tell Tan what you have found out.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

Return to Moorland and tell Tan the news.

tan

I can’t believe my ears! I thought that a nasty thief had done this. But we can’t take away the coins from the birds, that would be mean. The birds can’t know they shouldn’t take my money, they didn’t do it on purpose because birds can’t know that money has a value.

Quest completed

______________

Something That Shines

tan

I have an idea! We can swap the money with something else that shines. Maybe Mrs Holdsworth has something we can use?

Objectives: As Mrs Holdsworth, who lives in the red house outside the Moorland Stable, if she has something shiny to give away.

Rewards: 70 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

Of course, Mrs Holdsworth always has something of use!

Go speak with her at her house behind the stables.

mrs_holdsworth

Haha! What a lovely story. Of course I’ll help you. Let me look through my things.

Quest completed

______________

A Necklace With Glass Beads, A Bird’s Dream!

mrs_holdsworth

Take this necklace with glass beads. I think the bird will like it much better! Good luck with the trading Rita.

Objectives: Trade the necklace for the money from the little bird in Hollow Woods.

Rewards: 70 Jorvik Shillings, 70 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

Shouldn’t we be more concerned that the beads pose a choking hazard??

Ride back to Birdie in Hollow Woods and show him the necklace you have for him.

birdie

Tweet, tweeet, tweet, tweeet!

Quest completed

______________

Trading Done

birdie

Tweet, tweeet, tweet, tweet-tweet!

Objectives: Trade the necklace for the money and ride back to Tan with the money.

Rewards: 150 Jorvik Shillings, 90 XP, Tan’s Good Old Riding Shoes

Reputation: 50 with Moorland Stable

Stand under the nest, in the tree behind Birdie, and trade the necklace out with the money. Return to Moorland and speak with Tan when you have done so.

tan

Rita, you’re a hero! Haha, I would never think that the birds wanted to decorate their nest. I’ll never forget this. Thank you!

Quest completed

You’re welcome!

Now let’s go see what the Vet has found with the oil sample from the duck feathers. Go see her in Silverglade Village.

Ongoing Analysis

vet

I’m basically ready… It was very difficult to get good sample material from the feather, there wasn’t a large amount of oil on it. But I managed to get a sample that can be compared with previous samples from Mr Kembell’s oilfield. Take these samples and ride up to Carney at the vineyard and ask if you can borrow the comparison machine again.

Objectives: Ride to Carney at the vineyard stables and ask if you can borrow his comparison machine.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

I’m sure Carney will let you use it. Just be glad you’re not one of his brothers asking…

carney

Hello Rita, how are you today?

Quest completed

______________

One More Comparison of Samples

carney

So, you want to borrow my comparison machine again. It should work. Oddly enough, I don’t use it as much as I thought I would when I bought it at J-Bay, so it’s just as well that it will do some good. Just take your samples and use the machine. It’s on the table next to us.

Objectives: Use the oil samples in Carney’s comparison machine, which stands on the table at the vineyard stables.

Rewards: 16 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Use the comparison machine on the picnic table behind you. Speak to Carney when you are done.

carney

Did it work? Yes, look. The result is clear. It’s the same oil in both samples you tested.

Quest completed

______________

Tell Felix About the Evidence

carney

Ride back to Felix in Silverglade Village and tell him that the samples are identical.

Objectives: Ride to Felix and tell him. He’s at the fountain in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Somebody ain’t gonna be happy…

felix

Really? Then we know that Mr Kembell’s oil has polluted the duck feather. At least we have the proof.

Quest completed

Now that we know who polluted the ducks, go speak to the Vet about cleaning them up.

Cleaning of Ducks

vet

The cute little ducks are clean and happy again! It was more difficult than I thought to clean the fragile feathers, but it went well. Take the ducks to Felix so he’ll be happy again.

Objectives: Bring the five clean ducks to Felix at the fountain in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

Felix will be happy to see his ducks all squeaky clean.

felix

Wow, they’re so nice and shiny! And completely clean. Poor ducks, covered by oil like that. I get so angry when I think of that irresponsible Mr Kembell, I almost want to scream.

Quest completed

______________

The Summer’s Main Attraction is Saved!

felix

How wonderful that they mystery of the disappearing ducks was solved! Now we’ll just launch them into the fountain. You’ll have the honor to do it since you’re the hero, Rita! Carefully put the ducks in the fountain, one by one.

Objectives: Place the ducks in the fountain in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP, Checkered Pants

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

Stand near the fountain and place the ducks in the water. Return to Felix when you are finished.

felix

The ducks are so cute! The whole village will thank you for this. What an effort you’ve made – the big attraction of the summer is saved! Thank you Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Someone Will Have to Pay For This

felix

The ducks are rescued, but Mr Kembell makes me so angry! It’s so irresponsible to pollute the beautiful Everwind Fields with oil. It destroys the environment and more birds could be harmed.

We have to stop him once and for all! Can you talk to the Magistrate here in the village and help me establish a case against Mr Kembell for damaging nature, cruelty to animals and breaking the environmental laws, and bring that walking disaster to justice?!

Objectives: Talk to the Magistrate in Silverglade Village about filing a report against Mr Kembell.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

Magistrate, aka Council Man.

council_man

Hello little one! Oh? File a report about damage and environmental crime? We can do that but it’ll take some time. We’re talking a week or more. A lot of paperwork, you know. It takes a long time to flip papers and write the right things so everything is legal.

Quest completed

______________

Waiting for the Long Arm of the Law

council_man

We’re building a case against Mr Kembell. No one wants him and his ruthless corporation here in Jorvik. We’re also waiting for our dear Commissioner Klas to come back to the village after winter break. Both cops and robbers usually stay calm during the cold winter months here in Silverglade.

Objectives: Talk to the Magistrate.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 55 with Silverglade Village

See what more the Council Man has to say.

council_man

How long does it take? As I said before, it’ll take weeks before the case against Mr Kembell is ready, but then we can go full force and get him out of here, I hope. Thank you for your report! Good luck now and thanks for saving the ducks. You are a hero, Rita! We could use more of your kind her in the village in times like these.

Quest completed

Felix has something new to tell you about, go speak to him.

Waiting for a Train

felix

The lemmings here on Jorvik are very special. Every year, the same time, they march from the other side of the mountains, come here and then they go home again. No one knows why they are doing this but I think it’s some kind of pilgrimage. I heard from Mario up on the Observatory that he had seen some lemmings who seemed lost. Maybe you can ride up to him? To look at the lemmings and maybe help them on the right track.

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards on this one, sorry!

Some pilgrims are lost on their way to lemming-Mecca. Better help them out!

Ride up the observatory. You can ride your newly built gondola lift to get up there quickly.

mario

Hi! Have you talked to Felix? Yes, what he says is true. I have seen the yearly lemming march and I have to tell you it’s not a march any more. The little creatures seem to have lost each other.

Quest completed

______________

The March Has Gone Astray

mario

I saw some lemmings when I was taking my morning walk but I have such a horrible lemming allergy so I can’t go near them. I have spent the whole morning looking at them in my telescope and I am so worried about them. You are not allergic? Can’t you look below the Observatory, pick up all lemmings you find and put them in your backpack?

Objectives: Look for lemmings below the Observatory.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Valedale

The lemmings can be found mostly under the bridge to the Observatory. They are marked in orange on your map.

Return to Mario when you have found them all.

mario

Oh no, I can feel in my nose that you have found all the lemmings! So good that they like small spaces so that they are comfortable in your backpack. I hope you won’t get too much lemming hair on your things…

Quest completed

______________

Get the Lemmings to Their Correct Destination

mario

The lemmings’ last stop on the march used to be in Valedale. I suggest that you ride there with them and maybe do it right now before I sneeze so hard that you fall off your horse!

Objectives: Ride to Valedale with the lemmings.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Valedale

I’m not so concerned about falling off my horse. I’m more concerned about you falling off that cliff!

Take the lemmings down toward Valedale. Sophie will know what to do with them.

sophie

Lemmings! I have waited the whole day for them. Why do you have them in your backpack?

Quest completed

______________

The March is Delayed

sophie

Are they confused? The poor little things. Maybe you can herd them up the hill towards the snow, they usually go to their homes that way.

Objectives: Follow the lemmings up the hill towards the snow.

Rewards: 120 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Valedale

The lemmings are in a line on the ground, and will start their march as soon as you accept the quest. Follow them all the way up the mountain trail, to the snow at the top.

Return to Sophie when they have made it safely.

sophie

Did it wok? Are they on the right track now? So good that you could help them, no one knows how long we had been standing here, waiting for the. I hope they will be on the right track next year.

Quest completed

With that done, let’s go see Minka in Firgrove. She has a new racing track for you to try out.

Firgrove’s Hard Forest Track

minka

Hello Rita! I have finally finished the renovation of Firgrove’s old, difficult and dangerous forest track. It’s a bit hard, or super tough to be honest… I don’t know if I’m brave enough to try it myself, but you are so talented so maybe you want to try it? Please, Rita, can you test it before I open it for the public?

Objectives: Finish the track in the best possible time.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 100 with Firgrove

Ride the hard forest track, then speak with Minka when you are done.

minka

Did it work? It’s not impossibly hard? You did great I think! Even if it’s difficult I think it’s good. Experienced riders like you need a challenge! I hereby declare Firgrove’s old forest track opened!

Quest completed

You can now ride the forest track (and the track in reverse) as a daily race.

Mrs Packard has something she would like you to help with. Go see her by her house in Firgrove.

Chicken Wishes

mrs_packard

Me and my grandson Andy have decided that we want a chicken coop. It would be so nice to have some chickens and fresh eggs around here. I am old and frail and Andy already has too much to do taking care of the sheep. Would you mind helping us build a chicken coop? I would be so thankful!

Objectives: Talk to Mrs Packard.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

See what Mrs Packard has to say about this new idea of hers.

mrs_packard

I’m sure Andy will help you, ride down and talk to him. He is watching the sheep next to Firgrove’s sandpit.

Quest completed

Go talk to Andy down by the sandpit.

Building Boss

andy

Howdy Rita! Have you talked to my grandma? We have talked for a long time about buying some chickens and a chicken coop, but nothing has happened because my grandma s so old and I have too much to do. But if you want to help I can guide you through the whole building procedure. Grandma will be so happy.

Objectives: Talk to Andy.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Andy will tell you his plans for the chicken coop.

andy

There is a lot to do but if we take one thing at a time we’ll do just fine. I wonder where we should build the chicken coop…

Quest completed

______________

A Perfect Place

andy

I am not sure where we should put it, but it should be somewhere not too far away. I want to be able to watch over my and grandma’s chickens. Would you mind riding around this pen to see if you can find a place that looks good?

Objectives: Ride around the sheep pen and find a good place to build a chicken coop. Return to Andy when you have found it.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

There are two places to check. One is behind where Andy is standing. The other is on the other side of where the race track comes down towards the sheep pen.

Speak with Andy when you have found the good place.

andy

Cool! That’s terrific. Now we can build the chicken coop! I have already prepared a drawing, hehe. I like things to be well organized.

Quest completed

______________

Wood for Construction

andy

I happen to know that there are some planks around the old mine down there. I think they are left over from when they built the mine many years ago. Ride down and look, I don’t think anyone will miss the planks. It’s good that someone will get some use out of them.

Objectives: Ride down to the Silverglade Mine and gather planks for the chicken coop.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

You will see the mine in the distance if you face where you will build the chicken coop, with your back to Andy. The planks are scattered close to the mine buildings. Pick them up and return to Andy when you are done.

andy

Great! This should be enough. The planks look good. They are even still a nice red color! Grandma said that she wanted her chicken coop to be red so this will be perfect.

Quest completed

______________

Build a Chicken Coop

andy

So! Shall we start with the construction? Here is a hammer and some nails. I have left the planks you found where we will build the chicken coop. Do you remember my drawing? A red house with a nice frame around it.

Objectives: Use the hammer you got from Andy on the planks he has placed where the chicken coop shall be.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

The planks are on the ground where the chicken coop shall be built. You have to dismount your horse to be able to use the hammer. When you are done building, return to Andy.

andy

Wow, so great! And such a good drawing I made! You are a real handyman. But something is missing…

Quest completed

______________

Chicken Wire

andy

Oh, I got it! We need chicken wire! Otherwise the chickens will run out into the woods. Imagine if they could run up on the racing track? That could only end in disaster. Felicity in the stable in Firgrove Village has fencing for the sheep pen. Maybe she has some we can use for the chicken coop too?

Objectives: Ride to Felicity and ask if she has some chicken wire.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Ride up to Firgrove and ask Felicity for some wire.

felicity

Hiya! So fun seeing you again! Is the sheep pen broken already?? Oh, you are building a chicken coop! Of course I can give you some chicken wire. I have some old chicken wire, but I need to repair it first.

Quest completed

Return to Felicity tomorrow.

Landon, in the field behind the mill, has something you tell you. Go see him about starting a new race.

Rather One Rabbit in the Hand Than Ten in the Forest

landon

Hello! The rabbits on this field are very playful. They chase each other all day and love when someone on a horse tries to catch them. Have you tried? No? Then it’s time you try it.

Try to catch six rabbits as fast as you can! You finish the competition when you return to me.

Objectives: Catch six rabbits as fast as you can. Finish the competition next to Landon.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 100 with Silverglade Village

This is honestly my least favorite race in the whole game. It is difficult. There’s no way around it.

The easiest way I have found to complete it is to use the arrow keys to control my horse, with one hand, and use the computer mouse to click on the rabbits, with the other hand.

When you have caught six rabbits, run to Landon as fast as you can to finish the race.

Good luck.

landon

He he! It was really fun! Wasn’t it? The rabbits seem to really enjoy it.

Quest completed

There is a new curious persona, landed in a hot air balloon on Everwind Fields, and he needs your assistance.

The Famous Adventurer

nic_stoneground

Hunger and weariness won’t stop me! Why, hello there! I’m famous adventurer and explorer Nic Stoneground, I’m sure you’ve heard of me! You know what, I have something fantastic going on. A most amazing project, in fact. I’m going out on an epic adventure! Could you just help me sort out a small detail since you’re here anyway?

Objectives: Talk to Nic.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with A.A.E.

See what Nic needs help with.

nic_stoneground

Great. I just need someone who can undo these moorings for me… This balloon will take me to The Hidden Dinosaur Valley beyond Valedale Mountains. I’m sure this will be a successful expedition!

Quest completed

______________

With Hot Air Balloon to the Hidden Valley

nic_stoneground

My expedition will be legendary! By helping me undo the moorings, you’ll be part of my unlimited success, and we’ll be world famous! But first, we just have to lift off. There are four moorings around the balloon, and then it’s off to new heights!

Objectives: Tie up four moorings at the balloon. Talk to Nic again when you are finished.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 55 with A.A.E.

There is one mooring located at each corner of the basket, that needs to be untied.

nic_stoneground

Clear! Off we go! Airships, balloons, and zeppelins, that’s good stuff. Now it’s time! See you my friend! I’m going to The Hidden Dinosaur Valley! Who knows, maybe we’ll meet again soon!
