One Last Touch

zed

It’s not much left to do, Rita. I have only one thing left I need your help with.

You see, we’re cooperating with some cool bands and artists. They would like us to place out posters, so I thought it would be nice and place them out here, behind the shop. That’ll be cool!

Here’s a few posters for you to place. Just holler when you’re done.

Objectives: Place out different posters behind the stall.

Rewards: 200 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP, Jarla Crüe Tee

The posters need to be placed on the high fence above the stall. You may need to move around and adjust the camera to be able to place the poster item from your inventory. When all of the posters are put up, speak to Zed again.

zed

Ready? Nice! This turned out really well, I’m really happy! Can’t thank you enough, girl.

Everything is now ready, and the store has opened for the public! Here’s one of the cool tees as a reward, hope you like it!

Rock on!

Quest completed

A crisis has developed in Silverglade Village. Speak to the Council Man to see how you can help.

The Broken Silverglade Clock

council_man

Hello Rita… Sorry, I didn’t see you there.

Hmm… I just realized something, you see.

Have you seen that the village clock has stopped? You have? To think that I’ve not noticed until just now, and it could have been broken forever and a day! We’ll have to see to this; we can’t have a broken clock, now can we, Rita?

Now listen, couldn’t you run along to see Big Bonny? She’s the village clockmaker, and you can ask her to take a look a look at the clock? Big Bonny? You haven’t met her? Actually, it’s been a while since I’ve seen her myself, now that you mention it.

Well anyway, she lives over there in that yellow house above the steps. 

Say hello from me.

Objectives: Ride over and call on Big Bonny, the clockmaker in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Cross the main fairway and go up the steps across from the Council Man and knock on the door.

(You knock on the door but nobody’s opening.

It doesn’t seem anyone is home…

There’s a note stuck on the door though. Take a look at what it says…)

Quest completed

______________

Back Soon!

self

“Away on holiday. Back in a week or two. Or three.

/Big Bonny”

(Hmm… This note definitely looks like it’s been here longer than just a week or three. It’s probably best to take it back to the Council Man.)

Objectives: Show the note to the Council Man in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Return to the Council Man with the note.

council_man

Big Bonny on holiday?

Quest completed

______________

Friends in the Know

council_man

So Big Bonny’s on holiday, you say? Do I know where? No, I didn’t even know she’d left town.

I can’t actually remember the last time I saw Big Bonny…

But hey! Ask Felix, he’s good friends with the Clockmaker. He of all people should know.

Objectives: Ask Felix if he’s seen the Clockmaker.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride down the stairs to the back side of the town hall to find Felix. Ask him if he knows where Big Bonny is.

felix

Hello there! Have I seen the Clockmaker? You mean Big Bonny? Nah, y’know it’s been a while actually.

Quest completed

______________

A Looooong Holiday

felix

Big Bonny… Hmm…

Meh, I’ve not seen her in years as it happens. Last time I heard from her was when she sent me a postcard, but like I said, that was ages ago. Didn’t I have it with me? Where did I put it?

Hang on…

Yeah! I wonder if I left it somewhere in the clock tower. I remember being up there last year because I thought I heard someone wandering around.

“Big Bonny’s back,” I thought! So I grabbed the postcard and ran up to the tower, but it was totally empty. It was probably just a rat or something rustling around. I guess I forgot to bring the postcard back.

Here! Here’s the key to the clock tower, you may as well go and take a look around for yourself and see what you can find. Take care though, nobody’s been up there for a long time so you never know if something’s broken or dangerous or if it’s been turned into some kind of horrible death trap.

Good luck! Come back when you’ve found the postcard, and try to avoid falling to a horrific death!

Objectives: Unlock the clock tower and find the postcard. Afterwards, take it back to Felix.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The entrance to the clock tower is at the top of the steps between Felix and the Council Man. Dismount your horse to use the key to unlock the door. Once inside the clock tower, go up the steps to the top of the tower to find the postcard. When you have picked it up, go back down the steps to exit the tower, then return to Felix.

felix

Well, if it isn’t the postcard! Lovely, thanks! Now let’s take a look at whether we can make sense of this. The Clockmaker’s handwriting looks like a spider tap danced all across the page!

Country Living

felix

Let’s have a look if we can’t make sense of this here postcard…

“Hello Felix, my old pal! Ooh, it’s lovely to be on holiday! I think I’m going to stay here with Barney. He’s promised me I can sleep in his silo as long as I’m out of the way in the mornings so he can clear out the seeds and grains. It smells pretty nasty and the flies are driving me crazy, but that’s all part of the country charm! I like it! Really! Like, really really! I swear!

Sometimes, though… Sometimes I wish I could come home again, but that’s impossible after all that’s happened, you know? Ugh, I get so shaky and nervous just from thinking about the disaster I caused. Maybe you can come by and say hello sometime when the dust has settled a little? All you have to do is knock on the pipes outside the silo and I can pop out and greet you!

Listen, please don’t tell anyone where I am. This whole business has been terribly embarassing.

Your friend,

Clockmaker Big Bonny”

Hmm… Well Rita, she’s mad as a box of frogs, that Big Bonny, but she’s my friend. I never understood what she meant by the embarrassing incident she wrote about, but I thought it would probably sort itself out if she just rested a little bit. 

But hey. The postmark is like five years old, so it really was a while ago. It’s crazy how fast time can fly by. Can you go visit Barney and ask him if he’s seen Big Bonny lately?

Objectives: Go and ask Barney if he knows where Big Bonny’s gone.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

Ride out to Barney’s silo and ask if he has seen Big Bonny lately.

barney

Good day! Can I be of some assistance?

Clockmaker? Hmm… Yeah, she lived in my silo for quite some time. But I haven’t seen her for a while, probably at least a year.

Quest completed

______________

The Pipes Lead the Way

barney

Where Big Bonny the Clockmaker is…? That’s the question of the day.

Hmm… She was never especially social; as soon as she saw me, she’d go completely red in the face and then climbed into the pipe as quickly as she could. I usually leave out a few turnips and potatoes from my fields so that she doesn’t starve to death, and they’re still disappearing… Probably means she’s still around here somewhere.

You want to meet her, eh?

I suppose the only thing to do is to clamber into the silo and see if you can find her there; it’s pretty much the only place she could be.

You just have to squeeze in through this pipe here and crawl along until you come out inside the silo. I’ve no idea how it looks in there anymore; since I started with potatoes and turnips, the silo has mostly stood empty. Anyway, good luck, I’ve got to get back to work but say hey to Big Bonny if you see her!

Objectives: Climb into Barney’s silo through the pipe and look for the Clockmaker.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse and click on the pipe to climb inside. Once inside, cross the pile of grain to the rope hanging down. Click on the rope to climb to the top.

A Terribly Embarrassing Story

big_bonny

HEEEEEEELLLLLPPP!!

HEEEEEEELLLLLPPP!!

HEEEEEEEEE… Cough… Cough…

(You slap the Clockmaker on the back.)

Ooh, thanks. That slap really helped with the coughing. What are you? You don’t seem to be a ghost. You’re not a ghost, right? No? Ooh, what luck. Ghosts are the scariest thing I can think of.

Why are you here? You’ve been looking for me? Why? What for?

Fix the clock in Silverglade?!

Oh my good giddy gracious, has the past finally caught up with me? I’ve dreaded this day for years… Ah, poor me! Why does this kind of thing always happen to me?

WHY?! WHY MEEEEEE?!

WWHHHYYY… Cough… Cough…

(You give Big Bonny another whack on the back.)

Ohh thank you. You seem to be terribly nice. What are you even called? Rita? Lovely! Well then, Rita, allow me to tell you everything that’s happened, and you’ll soon understand why my situation is more wretched and rotten and stinking and shocking than any other person in the whole world has ever experienced.

Objectives: Listen to the Clockmaker’s tale of woe.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

It’s a terrible, terrible story to be sure…

big_bonny

Once upon a time, many long, long years ago, there was a day that began in exactly the same way any other day might begin. I’d been helping the tailor in Silverglade Village with the repair of his sewing machine, and my next task was to wind up the Town Hall clock, in exactly the same way any other clock might be wound up, in exactly the same way I’d done every week for years.

To keep that clock going is one of the most important… NO! THE most important job in the whole village. Without a functioning clock, it would be a total disas… Well. I’m sure you understand for yourself what kind of massive catastrophe it would be.

Anyway!

When I walked through the village on my way to the Town Hall, all the villagers smiled at me and I could see the pride in their eyes as they looked at me. I could see it. In their eyes. The pride. And it felt gooood. I went up into the tower, took out my special clock winding key and began tightening the spring… And then. It happened.

THE CATASTROPHE OF CATASTROPHES!!

CATATATATATATATATASSSSSSSTROPHE!!

I wound the key in the wrong direction, Rita. I was so full of myself after seeing all the villagers with their smiles and the pride in their eyes that I wound. The key. In the wrong. Direction.

The cogs clogged! The springs sprung! The oil spoiled! And the clock STOPPED. For the first time since it started. 

I was in a total state of panic. In my total state of panic, I ran straight home to my house, threw together all of the most important belongings and fled the village so fast as I could with tears in my eyes and sorrow in my soul. 

You understand now, Rita. As punishment for my crime, I sent myself into exile. There’s no way in the world to make amends for this atrocity, and I could never dream of winning back the trust of my darling villages… ‘m doomed to die here. In the silo. Surrounded by loneliness and wasps. Hated, cast away, forgotten…

______________

A Retreat of the Utmost Secrecy

big_bonny

Right. Wait. What? You want me to follow you back to the village and repair the clock?!

…

IMPOSSIBLE!

Have you understood nothing about my horrible, horrible story?

I would simply die of shame if I showed my face there ever again. I’d die a deadly deadening death right there as the villagers spat at me, threw their rotten fruit at me, and said horrible, horrible words to me!

Hang on, say what?

If I repair the clock then maybe they’ll forgive me? Is that what you think, Rita? Do you really believe it could be so?!

…

Then this… This is my chance!! If I repair the clock then they’ll welcome me back into the clock, like a clock-repairing lost sheep!! They’ll love me again! I just know it!

But, wait. I can’t be seen in that place until that clock is ticking again.

…

Rita! You need to come up with a way to sneak me home without anybody seeing me! Oh please!

You’ll see what you can do? Stupendous! Tremendous! Hurry now, come up with something soon! My return to Silverglade Village can’t wait a minute more! The clock is ticking. Or not. But yes! Hurry!

Objectives: Find a way to transport Big Bonny back to Silverglade in secret.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Maybe something outside will give you an idea. Go back down the rope and out the pipe to find some inspiration in the fresh air. When you have found your idea, return to Big Bonny.

big_bonny

A sack.

You want me to crawl into a sack? This sack here?

It’s not exactly how I’d imagined traveling…

Quest completed

______________

We’ll Meet Outside the Silo

big_bonny

Meh. Me Ride in a sack? Doesn’t seem exactly suitable for a hero’s return… You can’t think of anything better than this?

…

No?

…

Ah well.

By the honor of Silverglade Village, I shall subject myself to whatever danger and pain may come my way! Meet me outside the silo Rita and I’ll gleefully grapple myself into that sack. First though, my most important belongings must be packed up. I’ll be right there.

Objectives: Meet Big Bonny outside Barney’s silo.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Slide down the rope and meet Big Bonny outside.

big_bonny

So, yes. You’ll notice I have arrived before you. I used the pipe as a sort of adventure slide: very effective, but nothing I would recommend for an inexperienced adventure slider like you, Rita.

But here we are. Here we all are: a clockmaker, a rider, and a sack. Who would have thought these three unlikely heroes would save Silverglade Village from this calamitous cataclysm?!

What am I talking about?

It’s all so clear now.

I’ve finally understood what all of this means.

When I fled Silverglade, I was so young and immature; my ego was so bruised that I couldn’t look my sweet, sweet neighbors in the eyes anymore. BUT! That was wrong of me! It was wrong! I was wrong! Selfish! Morally bankrupt! Unacceptable!

Quest completed

______________

In a Sack. On a Horse. On the Way to the Village.

big_bonny

Do you understand now Rita?

When I disappeared and left that broken clock and all those broken dreams behind me, it was only a matter of time before the whole village went under!

For all this time, I’ve been sitting up there in the silo feeling sorry for myself but in reality it was all the villagers I left behind who were the real victims of my stupidity. Finally, I’ve opened my eyes to the role I have to play in life. Without me, Silverglade would meet its demise, maybe even all of Jorvik. Actually I’m basically one hundred percent certain all of Jorvik would perish…

No time to lose!

Now we have to get back to the village. I’ll get straight into the sack! Gallop like the wind straight to my house in Silverglade! Hurry! Put you foot on the gas! The, umm, horse gas! No time to lose!

(Big Bonny jumps into the sack.)

Objectives: Ride with the Clockmaker in the sack to her house in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

This is probably one of my favorite rides in the whole game.

Incognito in Silverglade

big_bonny

Rita… Is there anyone here?

No? Are you sure?

Okay, well here’s the key to my house. Unlock the door and I’ll fling myself inside before anyone has a chance to see me.

Okay… Hold on… Nobody there? Ready? Good.

Hold it…

Hooooold it…

Objectives: Unlock the door to Big Bonny’s house.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse and approach the steps to unlock the door for Big Bonny.

big_bonny

Hello you. Good day. My name is Herman. I own a stable. I am a horse lover. I love horses. Hellooo.

Haha! It’s only me, Rita! The Clockmaker! Big Bonny!! Oooooh-hoo-hooooo so sorry if I left you feeling a little confused, you really thought it was Herman who emerged from my door. Hahaha! Ooh!

Don’t be ashamed, it’s a very good disguise. The best thing about this is that if you didn’t recognize me, then no other silly sap will recognize me either!

Quest completed

Return to Big Bonny tomorrow.

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.

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

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.

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

Pansy Planting

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

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

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

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

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

Thirsty Flowers

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!!

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.

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!

Bushes for the Winery

bjorn

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. 

Objectives: Plant bushes at the Winery.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

Ride up to the Winery and dismount your horse to plant the bushes in the indicated places. Return to Bjorn when you are done.

bjorn

Thank you Rita! Now the workers up by the mansion can enjoy a small sliver of happiness that our garden leaks out into the world.

______________

A Fountain for Agnetha’s Grove

bjorn

A fountain, Rita. A fountain!

That is exactly what we need for Agnetha’s Grove. How could I have not thought of that? Well… Now I AM thinking about it of course… So we need to build a fountain there. Why aren’t you saying anything Rita?

It doesn’t matter… We need to build a fountain right away!

They have a fountain up at the Manor. If they have one then they must have more! Ask Carney if they have an extra fountain they can lend us. 

You don’t think they do? Stop it Rita, there is no room for doubt in my plan. Think positive now!

Objectives: Ask Carney about borrowing a fountain.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

Ride up to the stable and speak to Carney about getting a fountain for the garden.

carney

Hello Rita.

An extra fountain to borrow?

Quest completed

______________

Fountain Kit

carney

Yes, there is an extra fountain in the cellar, actually. It is really a kit from JKEA… So you need to put it together yourself. It has been in the cellar for a very long time, so it would be great to see it actually get used.

Take the kit and ride back to Bjorn with it. Let him know he is welcome to have it.

Objectives: Collect the fountain building kit from the cellar of the Winery and ride back to Bjorn.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

Dismount your horse to enter the cellar of the factory building, the same cellar where you patched the hole in the wall. The kit is in the far back room. When you have collected the kit, return to Bjorn in the garden.

bjorn

What did I tell you Rita! Nobody has just ONE fountain, everyone knows that!

Quest completed

______________

Fountain Building

bjorn

I don’t understand, Rita… How does this fit together… This thingy should attach to that whatchamacallit… Or should this attach to that there?

…

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. Don’t come back here until you are done, we can’t waste a single second until it is done! Hurry, hurry!

Objective: Build the fountain in the right place in Agnetha’s Grove.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

Dismount your horse and go to the spot indicated in Agnetha’s Grove. Use the fountain kit to build it. When you are done, return to Bjorn.

bjorn

Ha! Look at that! What a fantastically gorgeous fountain! With my aesthetic sense and your ability to tolerate ugly manuals, we have assembled a masterpiece!

Thank you for your amazing help Rita!

Quest completed

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

Harvest Time in the Rose Garden

bjorn

This is the best day of my life Rita!

The roses in the Rose Garden have bloomed! I am so excited that I don’t even think I can faint!

Thump!

Lff… Grfflll…

Roses… Roses… Rita… Harvest roses… I’ll lie here and rest.

Objectives: Harvest in the Rose Garden.

Rewards: 150 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP, Rose Blouse

Oh… What amazing roses… I need to lie here and rest for a little while…

Wait…

Wait…

Wait…

HA HA! Look! What a miracle! I can STAND! This proves the power of the roses! I feel as strong as an ox! I can do anything! WHATEVER I WANT TO DO! And what I feel like doing is just standing here and looking at my flowers! Look at me Rita! I can stand here and look at the flowers… It is a true miracle!

Aah…

Thank you for everything Rita… I feel a strange feeling right now… All through my body… I feel… Calm? Very strange… I think I should probably take it easy right now…

Roses for the Winery

agnetha

Little Rita. Now it is time to take some of our roses and do something beautiful with them up at the Winery mansion. Ride over to my old friend Conrad, the blacksmith in Moorland, and ask him for some iron gates for the roses to climb on.

That should do it, ride over to Conrad and come back as quick as you can.

Objectives: Speak with Conrad, the smith in Moorland.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

Surely Conrad will happily construct something for you. Go see what he says.

conrad_marsdeen

So Agnetha sent you here?

Quest completed

______________

Back to Agnetha

conrad_marsdeen

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.

Objectives: Ride back to Agnetha.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Return to Agnetha with the iron gates.

agnetha

Well done little Rita. This is going to look great at the Winery, you will see.

Quest completed

Return to Agnetha tomorrow.

Flowers to Fort Pinta

agnetha

Come here for a minute Rita. Look at this. Proof that hard work pays off in the long run. An order from Fort Pinta. Not bad right?

Take these flowers and ride with them to the guard at the disco there. Don’t get stuck there at the disco. I know it is fun with the music and food and dancing… But there is real work to be done. Work always comes before play.

Objectives: Ride with the flowers to the guard in Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 50 with Winery Master Gardeners

Speak with the Security in front of the disco cafe to deliver the flowers.

Quest completed

______________

Littering is a Terrible Crime

bjorn

Rita, a master gardener’s work is never truly done. Have you ever been up to the old race track? You have? Have you seen that behind it there is a bunch of statues and littler? No? 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.

Objectives: Collect the statues from behind the Baroness’ racetrack for Bjorn.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Winery Master Gardeners

Ride up to the west side of the racetrack and pick up all of the statues piled against a tree. When you have all of them, return to Bjorn.

bjorn

What amazing beautiful statues! How could anyone have thrown the away?

This here needs to be placed out in our garden right away…

Look how amazing it looks! Thank you Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Thank You for the Help

bjorn

Rita, thank you for the help. You’ll have to excuse me… I need to just stand here and take it easy… Speak with Agnetha if there is anything you need to talk about.

Objectives: Speak with Agnetha.

Rewards: 250 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 100 with Winery Master Gardeners

Agnetha would like to give you her thanks as well.

agnetha

Little Rita. You are a good friend. Now the gardens are rebuilt so we are just going to maintain and run them so we can sell our plants to the rest of Jorvik.

Here is a small token of our appreciation we felt you should have for all the help you have given us. There, you’re welcome. You’ll have to excse me. Now I have to go as I have no time for small talk when there is so much work to be done.

Now time to enjoy the completed gardens in all its glory!

Let’s go see Marley about getting the barrels fixed.

The Smith’s New Barrels

marley

Yes! You are probably right! Ride over to Conrad, he is good at fixing and making just about everything. I’m sure he can fix my barrels. Here are the broken barrels Rita, ride like the wind and come back as soon as you can. I’ll read the rulebook while you are gone to be sure we do this just right.

Conrad can be found at his smithy in Moorland.

conrad_marsdeen

Quest completed

______________

New Wood for the Broken Barrels

conrad_marsdeen

The first thing we need is new wood. Wood that will last hundreds of years… Not the cheap stuff these barrels were built with. The best wood for barrels is only found in one place in Jorvik. Beside Valedle Lake. There is an ancient oak beside the lake and under it you should be able to find some old fallen branches that should be as strong as the mountains.

That is what we will build out barrels with.

The oak tree should be easy to find… It is the only one of its kind near Valedale Lake.

Objectives: Bring the branches from beside Valedale Lake to Conrad.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

The oak tree is in the middle of the Valedale Lake area. It’s the only big, leafy tree. To get to it, follow the race trail. The tree is just around the hairpin turn. You’ll have to go off of the trail to get to the branches. Most of them are on the beach beside the tree.

When you have collected enough branches, return to Conrad.

conrad_marsdeen

Great Rita! This wood should make for the best barrels in Jorvik. Now I’ll just cut them to the right length…

Quest completed

______________

New Iron for the Barrels

conrad_marsdeen

The wood for the barrels is ready. Now we need more iron to make the bands around the barrels that hold the wood together.

Go pick up some more iron ore from the Demascus Mine. Borrow my pick-axe and break some iron ore from the rocks that I can use to forge the bands for the barrels.

Objectives: Break off some iron ore in the Demascus Mine and bring it to Conrad.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

The mine is to the west of the smithy. Go in and dismount your horse to collect the ore. When you are done, return to Conrad.

conrad_marsdeen

Good Rita! Now I’ll forge some bands for these barrels. It is going to take a while but anything worth doing is worth doing right. These will be the best barrels in Jorvik.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

Now let’s go see what Barney needs help with.

Farmer

barney

Hello, Rita! It’s time to sow some seeds and plant some potatoes. Would you mind helping me out? You see, my back hurts so some help from a healthy young girl would be a lifesaver.

Objectives: Do you want to help Barney to grow some crops?

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

What’s with all the back problems? Either the people of Jorvik need to have a lesson in safe lifting technique or they need to invest in importing a chiropractor…

barney

How nice! Well, the thing is that my relatives and I are going to have a large potluck supper at my place in a couple of days. What’s better than to use your own crop? Lucky for me the vegetables normally grow very fast on my fields so I think we will get a good harvest if we start now!

Quest completed

______________

Flourishing Seeds

barney

When it’s time to plant for the year I always talk to Felix. He knows a lot about nature and has a special interest in seeds. His seeds are always of a good quality. Can you ride over there and pick some up for me? Pick up some of each kind of seed and we’ll see what will grow the best!

Objectives: Ride to Felix in Silverglade Village and ask about seeds.

Quest completed

______________

Dig Holes in the Ground

barney

We need to dig some holes in the ground to sow the seeds. Here, take my spade and go out on the field. Make sure to get off your horse to dig. Watch out for the combine harvester, it is dangerous and not to be trifled with!

Objectives: Dig some holes in the field to sow the seeds.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

You have to be dismounted to dig the holes. It’s faster to just run out in the field on your own, instead of taking your horse and having to get up and down.

And try not to find out what happens when a body meets the combine…

When you have dug all the holes, return to Barney.

barney

Nice work Rita! Very well done. Keep this up and you will learn how to be a really good farmer!

Quest completed

______________

Time to Plant and Sow

barney

Now it’s time to plant the seeds. Here is the bag of seeds to spread out over the field. It’s not that important where you plant them, some here and there will be good enough.

Eh, just, whatevs…

Put the seeds in the holes and then return to Barney.

Good work! Maybe we should water the seeds a little bit? That will help them to start growing.

Quest completed

______________

All Living Things Need Water

barney

Here is my old watering can. It should be enough for the new seeds. It’s so nice that you are helping me with this, Rita. Now I have to write some invitations for my family party.

Objectives: Water the fields.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

With that finished, Tan has remembered another place to look for her money. Speak with her by the Moorland Stables.

The Last Place You Look

tan

Yes, I remembered that I was at the lighthouse! You know, the large green and white lighthouse east of Moorland Stable, south of Jasper’s barn. I was there and looked at the view. The money has to be there! Could you be the nicest person ever and ride there and look? I think you’ll have to search all around the lighthouse.

Objectives: Ride to the green and white lighthouse south of Jasper’s place and look for Tan’s money. Search all around the lighthouse. When you are done, return to Tan.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

To get to the lighthouse, ride towards Jasper’s old house. Before you go though the stone gate, turn right off the road. The lighthouse is at the top of the hill. There are three places near the lighthouse for you to search. Go back to Tan when you have searched all of the locations.

tan

What?! Not there? But that’s the last place I can remember. What if… What if they were stolen?

Quest completed

Return to Tan tomorrow.

Let’s go check on Mrs Holdsworth and how she’s doing after her buggy predicament.

Have the Bees Moved?

mrs_holdsworth

Dear Rita! It worked They are buzzing a lot over there and my garden is free from bees. But I’m a bit worried that they will move back into their old home so I think it’s best to destroy it. Can’t you, who are sitting on a horse, examine the old nest and see to that no bees are still in there? That would be so sad!

Objectives: Examine if the old beehive is empty.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

The beehive is on the top edging of the porch on Mrs Holdsworth’s house. Check on it and speak with her again when you are done.

mrs_holdsworth

So the coast is clear? That’s a good thing. I have to go down to the cellar and get my old baseball bat. I was really good at baseball when I was young. No strikeouts here, hoho!

Quest completed

______________

To Stay Calm

mrs_holdsworth

Look here, you maybe think it’s old fashioned but when I was young this baseball bat was first class. Nowadays everything is made of plastic or aluminum. All joking aside, should we take down the old beehive before any little be wants to move back again?

Objectives: Take down the old beehive with Mrs Holdsworth’s baseball bat.

Rewards: 120 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP, A Bee Top

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Swing at that beehive with all your might, like you did at that ugly pinata your parents thought would be fun to get you for your sixth birthday, but really it just scared you.

But I digress…

Speak with Mrs Holdsworth when you have completed your task.

mrs_holdsworth

Wow, you have really strong arms, Rita! Maybe you should play baseball? I’m sure that the bees will give me good honey when it’s ready and you have to come  to me for some honey cookies and lemonade. Until then, a nice sweater for a nice friend!

Quest completed

Aww, isn’t that sweet?

There’s trouble up in Silverglade Village. Go see Felix about it.

Something Missing

felix

Do you see what I see? There. The fountain… They’re not here yet! I don’t understand. Something has to be wrong. Completely wrong… What, you can’t see anything? It’s so obvious to everyone! The disasters are piling up! Can you help me?

Objectives: Talk to Felix.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Find out what Felix is raving about.

felix

Aha, you haven’t lived here very long. I understand now. Well, the ducks are missing! There are no ducks in the fountain! It’s great that you want to help me! It is for the entire village’s sake that we must find out what happened to the ducks that swim in the fountain every summer.

Quest completed

______________

Ducks on the Run, Has Will Seen Anything?

felix

Every spring around this time, the fountain ducks come to stay all summer and swim in the cool fountain. They haven’t returned from their winter migration so I have a feeling that something has happened to them.

Will up at the mill on the hill outside the village is an avid bird watcher. He may have seen something. Can your ride up and ask him?

Objectives: Talk to Will at the mill on the hill northeast of Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Being up on such a high hill gives one quite a vantage point.

will

Hi there. What’s that? The ducks haven’t returned from their winter migration? That’s not good. All villagers like to look at the ducks during the summer as they bathe and swim in the fountain. It would be a shame if they disappeared.

Quest completed

______________

Examine the Stopover

will

I haven’t seen the ducks yet this year, but what I’ve seen in previous years is that they land one last time on Everwind Fields and rest before they head into the village and receive the people’s cheers.

Maybe you can scout the field and see if you find any clue of their whereabouts? Return to me later.

Objectives: Look for duck clues on the Everwind Fields north of Marley’s jumping paddock, west of Will’s mill. Ride to Will when you have found something.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

There are several places scattered on the fields to find the clue. The one I found is almost directly across the road parallel to Landon. Just north of the field just outside the Silverglade Village north gate.

Return to Will when you have found a clue.

will

Oh… Yes, this is a duck feather, that’s correct. But it’s oily. This is not good at all. The ducks must have gotten into trouble.

Quest completed

______________

A Heavy Feather Burden

will

Take this feather and tell Felix about this ominous discovery. He’s at the fountain.

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

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

And here you find yourself the harbinger of bad news again…

felix

This is terrible! What’s happened to our poor ducks? Oil you say… What? Is Mr Kembell drilling for oil on the Everwind Fields?! Disaster!

Quest completed

______________

Conclusive Evidence

felix

So you think the oily feather means that the disappearance of the ducks may have something to do with that slick Mr Kembell’s oilfield? Hm… The vet has analyzed the oil before? Ok, bring the feather to the vet so she can see if it is Mr Kembell’s oil.

Objectives: Visit the vet in Silverglade Village and let her examine the oily feather.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

The Vet is up around the corner of the Post Office.

vet

Hello Rita. Of course I can analyze the oil on the feather!

Quest completed

______________

Operation: Save the Ducks!

vet

That’s awful Rita! What if the ducks are stuck in the oil at Mr Kembell’s oilfields! If so, we have no time to lose! You must immediately head for the western Everwind Fields and look for the ducks. I’ll stay here and analyze samples for now. Come back here if you find some poor ducks in distress.

Objectives: Look for ducks in distress at the western part of the Everwind Fields. Investigate the oilfield. Return to the Vet.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

All of the ducks are located in the oilfield. They are scattered around, mostly by the fences and edges of the oilfield. Return to the Vet when you have found all of the ducks.

vet

Oh no, poor little ducks! They’re covered in oil. You’re a hero for saving them Rita!

Quest completed

______________

A Special Soap to Remove Oil

vet

A special soap is required to clean the ducks properly. Their feathers can be destroyed otherwise. I’ve run out of the soap and it takes too long to order it. Can you ride to Firgrove and ask to buy a soap from Felicity? She’s the one who makes them. Felicity is at Firgrove stables, she runs the place.

Objectives: Buy soap from Felicity.

Rita, it’s good to see you here in our little village! Oh, some ducks have been covered by oil, you say? That’s bad. Of course you can buy the special soap from me. I’m the expert on making special soap for sensitive animals.
