Life Goes On at the Sunfield Farm

filip_sunfield

Hello Rita! Lovely to see you again. It’s good you stopped by actually, there’s tons to do here! So much so that I was close to forgetting my wife’s birthday! She’s absolutely terrifying if I miss it, and she’d probably kill me if I forgot it again after forgetting it last year! I haven’t got the time to get her a present though, there’s way too much for me to be getting on with here at the farm, and by the time I’m done, the shops will be closed.

Any bright ideas?

Flowers? Yeah! She loves flowers! Great idea!

Reckon I could ask you a favor? Could you gather a few flowers and give her a little bouquet? You can? Excellent! Thanks!

Pick some flowers and give them to her from me. Don’t forget to wish her a happy birthday!

Objectives: Pick some flowers and give them to Martina Sunfield.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Lazy bastard can’t even deliver his own damn gift. Well then…

Pro tip! This is exactly how NOT to be with your significant other!

martina_sunfield

Oh, what lovely flowers! Are they for me? From Filip! Oh, my husband is just too adorable! Just to think, he forgot my birthday last year and knew I would’ve had a word or two to say if he did it again this year!

Hmm… Listen, Rita, here at the farm, there’s always lots to do! If you could help us out with a few little jobs, it’d give Filip and I a little time over to build up our new company. It’s something we’ve been thinking about for so long, but never had time to do.

(Complete your daily tasks with the Sunfields to increase our reputation with them.)

Quest completed

Return to Saga when you are Friendly with the Sunfield Family.

A Brother is a Brother, No Matter What

saga_sunfield

Hello Rita. I’ve got a message for you. I’m right in thinking I can trust you not to tell anyone, right? It’s a little bit sensitive…

See, Isolde asked me if I knew anybody who could help her with a sensitive task and I thought of you immediately. She really wants to talk to Tristan and try to set things right between them but he just refuses to talk to her.

Would you be able to talk to Isolde? She really needs your help.

Objectives: Talk to Isolde Goldspur.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Sunfield Family

Find Isolde by the fountain in Jarlaheim.

isolde_goldspur

Oh… Hello Rita. So Saga sent you to help me out? I should’ve come straight to you myself, I know you always step up!

Quest completed

______________

The Sister’s Plea

isolde_goldspur

Thanks for stepping up Rita, I’ve no idea what I should do. Seems like Tristan blames me and Loke for everything, even though it was him who caused all the trouble. Pff. He’s so immature.

Me and Loke want us all to be friends again, but I don’t know how I can make Tristan understand. Can you talk to him Rita? As soon as I try to talk to him, he just narrows his eyes at me and turns away. You’ll talk to him?

Oh wow, thanks Rita!

Objectives: Talk to Tristan Goldspur.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

You can find Tristan in the pigpen on the Sunfield farm.

______________

The Guilty Tries to Shift the Blame

tristan_goldspur

Haven’t you already done enough to mess things up for me Rita?! What do you want now?

My sister wants me and her to be friends again? And Loke as well?!

How dare she?! Grr…

It’s her fault! All of this is her fault! Her and Loke… If they’d never met, then I’d never have had to steal those stupid chickens. Why do I have to work here with these filthy pigs? Should be Loke doing this, not me. 

Everything is Loke’s, Isolde’s, and YOUR fault, Rita. You can tell her that from me.

Now get lost!

Objectives: Talk to Isolde Goldspur.

That’s some sound logic there, boy.

Return to Isolde with the message from Tristan.

isolde_goldspur

What did he say?

Oh. Why does he have to be so stupid and immature? I’m just worried for him and want the best for him…

Here Rita, I wanted to give these to Tristan but I don’t think he’d ever accept them. You take them instead.

Do you think Tristan will ever change sometime, Rita? You think he will? Well I guess we should never give up hope, you’re right. 

See you around Rita, take care.

Quest completed

Return to Martina when you are Liked by the Sunfield Family.

______________

A Delicious Sample

martina_sunfield

Hello there Rita. Finally, we’ve found someone who’s interested in buying our lovely products from the farm. Have you met Ed Field from Wolf Hall Inn? Nice guy, has to be said!

He’s really interested in locally produced goods and ingredients and when I told him we make everything here on the farm, he went bananas with excitement! He didn’t want to buy the products without a little taste test first, so could you ride over with these samples I’ve prepared for him? That’d be great!

Hurry now, and say hello to Ed from me!

Objectives: Ride with the goods from Sunfield Farm over to Ed Field at Wolf Hall Inn.

Return to Martina and Give Her the Good News

ed_field

I definitely wanna get my hands on more of this! Much more! I mean, I could make the kinds of amazing meals that would bring Jon Jarl himself back to life just so he could get the chance to taste them!

Ride back to Martina and tell her I said that! Let her know I’ll be buying however much she wants to sell to me.

See ya Rita!

To Borrow a Mill

filip_sunfield

Hello Rita. I have a problem. A bit of a first-world problem, you might say, but I think I need your help if you have a little time. You see, now I’m able to harvest so many seeds, I need access to a mill so we can grind them into flour.

Jakob Goldspur owns two mills… Do you think you could ask him if we could borrow of them if he’s not using it himself? You could? Excellent, thanks!

Ask Jakob if he can lend out the mill to us and let me know what he says.

See you soon Rita, and say hello to the rest of the Sunfield family!

Objectives: Give the good news to Filip Sunfield.

Return to Filip when you are Admired with the Sunfield Family

______________

Pardoning a Criminal

filip_sunfield

Tristan really has changed, don’t you think, Rita? He works hard from morning until night without whining or complaining. Yesterday, at sunset, I told him he was done for the day, but he said he couldn’t possibly finish until he was through with the task he’d started. 

Not just that, Rita. Before, he would be lazy and cut corners but now he does everything brilliantly and finishes everything to total perfection. I couldn’t even do what he does as well as he does it!

He’s truly changed, and I think he’s served his punishment but I’d like to know what his mum, Idun, has to say about it. She’s also part of this and I don’t want to act without her opinion.

Rita, could you ride over there and ask Idun Goldspur if she agrees I could release Tristan?

Objectives: Ask Idun Goldspur if she thinks Tristan has served his punishment.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 30 with Sunfield Family

______________

Idun’s Critical Decision

idun_goldspur

So you say Filip thinks Tristan’s been punished enough and he’s wondering if I think he should let him off…

Hmm… I’ve heard a lot of good from Isolde about him lately. She’s talk to him when she’s been down to say hello to the Sunfields and she says he seems to have changed.

Know what?

I trust Isolde and I trust Filip, and if they say he’s ready, then he’s ready.

Let Filip know I’ve come to a decision and that I agree with him; Tristan’s paid his dues. Ha! That’s lovely, isn’t it? I’ll soon see my little soldier again!

Objectives: Let Filip know that Idun agrees with him.

Yet Another Escapee

filip_sunfield

Oooohh when I get hold of that despicable Tristan, Rita!! Grrr…

Wait, what on earth is that noise?

That sounds like Tor’s voice? He’s shouting… For help! Sounds like it’s coming from the sea!

Oh my goodness! He must have gone down to the jetty even though he’s not allowed! Hurry Rita! Save him! Save my son!!

Objectives: Ride down to the jetty near the Sunfield Farm and see what’s happened.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

______________

The Escapee Who Saved a Child

tristan_goldspur

Cough, cough…

Tor?! Is he alright? Okay. Cough, cough…

What happened?

I saw Tor go down towards the sea and I just ran after him. Before I could make it, he’d wondered out onto the jetty… It all went so fast, and suddenly I saw him fall into the water and he didn’t come back up again. 

I threw myself into the water and dived down. In the end, I found him and swam up towards the jetty, and just about managed to get him up onto land, even though I was already so tired. By the time you got here, I was really starting to struggle, I just didn’t have the strength to lift myself back up again. If it wasn’t for you, I’d be a goner. 

Thank you so much Rita, you saved my life.

Hey, and here comes Tor. You okay little guy?

Objectives: Talk to Tor.

A Well-Earned Punishment

filip_sunfield

Oh, Tristan, how could I have doubted you? You risked your own life to save my son, and I assumed you’d ran away… I’m so sorry.

You’re a true hero, and not some little delinquent to be held down, chained to my farm. You’re free; your punishment is fulfilled. Get yourself home to Goldspur Farm and give your mother a huge hug… She’s missed you more than she’d ever let you know.

You’re always welcome here, Tristan. From this moment on you’re an honorary Sunfield. Go now, but don’t stay away too long before you come back and see us again.

Objectives: Talk to Tristan.

tristan_goldspur

I’m free, Rita! I’m free!

It actually doesn’t feel like much to celebrate. I really enjoyed working hard and doing the best I could.

In the beginning, I hated my punishment, but now I really think I’ve changed; now I’m the person I always wanted to be but could never bring myself to try being. You know what, from now on I’m going to work hard and do my best in everything I do. I’ve got you to thank for this Rita… Now it’s time for my new life to start! The first thing I’m gonna do is go home and apologize to my sister and Loke for all the trouble I’ve caused. I don’t know if I can ever make it up to them, but I’m certainly gonna try. Rita, I hope we meet again. You can come by Goldspur Farm and hang out with me anytime. Promise you’ll stop by!

See ya Rita!

When you have become Admired with the Goldspur Family, you can now enter the extra challenging Greendale Race. Visit Morgana, down from Molly, to start the race.

Check Out the Challenging Greendale Race

morgana

So, you are Rita, huh? I’ve heard about you.

Hmpf.

Believe me, you’re not ready for the challenging Greendale race.

…

However, Angus and Idun have told me you’re allowed to enter the competition, so what am I to do?

…

Alright. Check it out if you like. Finish the race, show me you can ride. Do that, and I’ll let you do it for real.

…

…What are you waiting for?

Objectives: Finish the race.

Rewards: 500 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 30 with Goldspur Family

This track is probably one of the most challenging ones in the game currently. It took me at least four or five attempts the first time, so be sure to take your time and be careful to make it through the checkpoints and finish the race.

morgana

So you eventually finished.

Hmpf.

…

Beginner’s luck.

But I hold true to my word. Come back if you want to enter the competition for real. Now, get lost.

Quest completed

You can now run the Challenging Greendale Race as a daily race.

There is a new pet shop opening in Jarlaheim, across from Gavin’s place. Speak to the owner, Amelia.

New Friendship

amelia

Hi there, are you Rita? Cool! So awesome that you came by.

I’m Amelia, and I work here at Pet Shop Girls. I see to it that all the cute animals are comfortable and have everything they need!

I’m usually very busy with our webpage and web shop, so I’m looking for someone to help me take care of the shaggy, little fur balls.

You seem like a fun girl, I’m sure we’ll be good friends as well!

By the way, you have a beautiful horse! Is it a Burma? Or, hold on, that’s a cat. Truth be told, I know absolutely NOTHING about horses, I just know they’re fun to ride. But nothing else, so I think you’ll have to teach me a thing or two about horses, else I’ll be mixing horses with toasters… Not that toasters and horses look alike at all, but oh well!

Your horse is called Summerblaze, you say? That’s a nice name. I would never be able to think of such a cool name for my dog. Suffice to say his names is Ernst, hehe…

Objectives: Talk to Amelia about how you can help her with Pet Shop Girls.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Jarlaheim

There is lots of things to be done!

amelia

So here’s the thing: I need some help around the store, and I would also love to get to know you a little better while we’re at it.

Sounds like a good idea? Perfect, let’s get going!

Quest completed

______________

Out of Cats

amelia

I need to ask a favor of you, Rita.

A woman came by and bought ALL our cats! We don’t have any left! That woman must really love cats, and I’m sure the small mousers will be nuts about living with her.

However, my store is so silent and lifeless without any kitties, so I need to get my hands on some new cats I can snuggle! I know the pet shop in Fort Pinta has an abundance of kittens. They hardly have room for all of them and the situation is dire, which is perfect, because now I can bring some of them here!

The security guard in Fort Pinta is helping to find new homes for them, and he is more than willing to let me take them. He thinks it’s heartbreaking to see all those cats sit on top of each other because of the lack of space.

I know it’s a bit far, but it would really be of great help if you could go there and get those cats for me. I can hardly wait for them to arrive!

Objectives: Travel to Fort Pinta and speak to the security guard.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 35 with Jarlaheim

Sorry, ahem. That would have been me, the crazy cat hoarder. I honestly have all of the cats in the game, haha.

You can either ride to Fort Pinta or take the blue ferry boat there.

Speak to Security in front of the Fort Pinta disco.

security

PARDON?

Cats to Amelia?

I’ve been ordered to hand out a delivery of recruits to a certain commander Amelia. I understand she has authorized you to pick them up here in Fort Pinta. They’ve been nice comrades, so it’ll be sad to see them go, but orders are orders.

Quest completed

______________

A New Home

security

ATTEEEENTION!!!

I hereby leave the command of the recruits, also called the kittens, to you, Rita. I wish you good luck, and hope the journey back to Jarlaheim goes well.

Reputation: 30 with Jarlaheim

Return to Amelia via your route of choice. Ride carefully with your cuddly precious cargo.

amelia

Would you look at that, such cute kittens… They’re simply irresistible! Almost so much I’d want to keep them all myself, but my home would probably become a bit crowded.

Quest completed

______________

Hungry Rabbits

amelia

The rabbit food has started to run out and the poor things are starting to get hungry. Someone needs to get more food for them as soon as possible.

Filip on the Sunfield farm makes his own rabbit food on the farm, it’s a new hobby he has started doing. Hopefully also because he wants his own rabbits to benefit from the best food they can get. It’s so cute that he’s so anxious about his own animals. He’s simply a true friend of animals.

If, at some point, you’re in need of tips and hints about animal care, just pay Filip a visit! I’m sure he’ll be glad to help. 

In any case, fetch a sack of Filip’s best rabbit food and bring it afterwards to me. He’s awaiting you at the Sunfield farm.

Objectives: Fetch the food from Filip at the Sunfield farm.

Rewards: 25 with Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Ride to the Sunfield farm, outside of Jorvik Stables, and speak to Filip about getting some rabbit food.

filip_sunfield

Hi again, Rita! Good to see you.

I heard you were coming to get some rabbit food for the pet shop in Jarlaheim? We collaborate from time to time. I give Amelia food for the animals, while she helps out on the farm. We need that from time to time, as you already know, some people on the farm can be a bit lazy…

Quest completed

______________

Yummy Rabbit Food

filip_sunfield

Here’s a sack of yummy food that those rabbits are gonna love. Made from my best, home-grown produce, this food will make the rabbits go crazy with happiness.

The sack is a bit heavy, but you should do just fine. Give Amelia my regards.

______________

Hungry Dogs

amelia

The dog food has run out as well. The dogs can become a bit rowdy when hungry, so we better get the food before they find their own food supply and eat that instead.

Travel to my sister Johanna who takes care of Jorvik Stables. It’s good to have a sister that one can buy cheap dog food from. It’s nice to know so many different people around here that can help out with things!

Objectives: Fetch the dog food from Johanna at Jorvik Stables.

johanna

Hi there, I take it you’re here to get dog food for Amelia?

I thought as much. You’re always there for people when they need you! My sister is very happy you’ve helped her this much, it’s appreciated. She’s had so much to do lately, in addition to helping Filip with his animals some times too. Poor thing barely has time for herself these days.

Hopefully it helps a lot having you around.

Quest completed

amelia

Thank you! Now I have lots of dog food, though it’ll run out quick enough. You can safely say, those dogs are greedy!

Quest completed

______________

Hungry Cats

amelia

Oh dear, now the cat food is out, and the kitties are screaming for more! I feel sorry for those mousers sometimes, but I’m just being overprotective as usual. Oh well…

You’re more than welcome to get some cat food from my best friend Catherine. She’s not only the owner of Jarlaheim’s cafe, she also happens to sell the best cat food in the entire Harvest Counties. It’s not only healthy, it’s also very filling, making the cats eat less food than if they’d eaten regular cat food. Doesn’t that sound good?

I’ve phoned her and told her you’ll probably come by and pick up the cat food, so she’s prepared for your arrival.

It would be great if you went there!

Objectives: Fetch the cat food from Catherine down by the cafe near the harbor.

Hi, Rita! Nice to see you, as usual! Hope everything is well with you. I guess you’re here for the cat food? Excellent.

It’s so nice that everything is working out for Amelia with the pet shop. She’s really fought hard for this, and it’s so good of you to help her out. 

Sometimes Amelia’s family and I don’t have time to step in, so it’s good to have someone extra to lean on from time to time!

However, I won’t take up any more of your time. I’m known to just yap on, haha!

Quest completed

______________

A Load of Cat Food

Here’s the sack of cat food. I promise the kitties will be happy. It’s made from the best produce, so at least there’s no chance the cats will get upset tummies from this!

Hi Rita! Great news!

Listen to this. Filip Sunfield is buying a new horse transport, and he’s giving the old one to us! It’s really about time we got our own horse transport, don’t you think?It makes it so much easier to travel to our estate.

Could you ride over to Filip and tell him we’re ready to accept it? You can? Thanks, Rita, and please give my regards to everyone at the Sunfield farm.

Transport Trouble

filip_sunfield

Hmm, this is odd. I sent away our old horse transport yesterday. It should have arrived already. Who drove it? Well, Jack Goldspur did.

He came by, telling us he’d heard we needed help driving off a transport, and he was ore than willing to aid. I don’t know how much he paid attention to what I said, because when he drove off, he went towards Paddock Island instead of taking the road through the city. He was going awfully fast, but I figured he knew what he was doing.

It’s probably for the best if you ride and speak to him about this. Hope everything works out.

Objectives: Speak to Jack Goldspur.

Sorry to say, but don’t get your hopes up Filip, if I know Jack Goldspur…

Horse transport? That old wreck of a car wasn’t much. Doesn’t matter where it went. Who cares about that old and broken stuff anyway?

Cars Over the Bridge

jack_goldspur

Angus cares? Ha ha! I know my brother, Rita. Tomorrow he’s forgotten all about it, believe me! You don’t? Ha ha, sure you do. It’s been like this since we were little. I mess with his things, he chases me around until he gets tired. Then he gives up, we don’t speak for a year or two, and then we make friends again. Ha ha, this is precisely like it used to be, nothing to worry about.

Don’t you want to play a game of cards or something instead? I’m crazy bored.

What? You want to know what became of Filip’s horse transport?

Well, if you have to know, it’s on the bottom of the sea. How it got there?

Ooh, that’s a super exciting tale if you ever heard one. I was supposed to drive to the Goldspur estate, but it’s such a bore driving through the city, so I decided I’d do some rally driving over Paddock Island instead. As I came down the hill leading to the bridge, I remembered the bridge is broken. You know what I did?

Precisely! You and I really think alike! There was only one thing I could do, and that was to speed jump over the broken bridge with the horse transport!!

What do you mean, “stupid?” It was awesome! However, it didn’t go very well. The care was useless for jumping and I went straight into the water. It was sheer luck I managed to climb on land again. But it was awesome! Too bad nobody videotaped it… It would’ve been perfect for J-Tube.

What do you mean, “fix it?” Angus can just buy a new horse transport!

How expensive can they be?! I can’t be bothered discussing this any more, I need to be doing something fun instead.

Hi, Rita. What has Jack done now?

Right. He’s driven Angus’s new horse transport into the sea. Just perfect…

______________

Inspecting the Site of the Accident

jill_goldspur

What now, then? Do you think we can retrieve the horse transport from the bottom of the sea? Doubtfully, you say? I agree, but we better try first. I don’t want to waste a whole lot of Jorvik Shillings of the tax payers’ money to buy a new hose transport if unnecessary. It’s vexing that my brothers keep fighting all te time. It would be for the best if we could fix this ourselves.

Ride there and see if you can think of a way to get the horse transport out of the water. 

Objectives: Inspect the area where the horse transport went off the broken bridge. Return afterwards to Jill Goldspur.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

The broken bride is located on the southeast side of Jarlaheim. Ride out onto the bride and look in the water to inspect the sunken transport.

Return to Jill when you have finished your inspection.

So, how did it look?

You think we can get it out? If we find the right equipment? Who might have that?

You have? Excellent. He’s probably the best suited to help us with this kind of problem. I wouldn’t know how to approach the issue, but at least he has access to the sort of equipment we might be needing. 

Speak to him and see if he has any suggestions on what to do.

Heavy Lifting Needs Heavy Machinery

mr_bucket

Hi there, Rita! What can I do for you?

Salvage a car from the bottom of the sea? That doesn’t sound like an easy job… What happened? Jack has driven a horse transport into the sea by the broken bridge?!

Wow… This one will be challenging. But you really helped me out with the bridge repairs last time, so I’ll do my best to help you in return!

Hmm…

Meet me down by the broken bridge and you’ll see we can fix this together. I’ll get there right away and rig my machines and appliances. 

Objectives: Speak to Builder Donald at the spot where the horse transport lies in the water.

Quest completed

______________

From Sea to Land

mr_bucket

So, are we ready to get this car out of the water or what?

I need your help, you see. To be able to lift the whole car with tow and all, we need to fasten the hook to the crane to the car somehow. Ride down to the bridge and fasten the hook. Call on me after and I’ll pull the car out.

Objectives: Fasten the hook to the horse transport.

Dismount your horse to connect the hook. Speak to Builder Donald when it is set.

The Last Leg is Always the Hardest

Hmm… This car doesn’t appear to be working anymore. That’s understandable, if you ask me. You know what, Rita? Since I already have all my appliances here, I’ll tow this thing over to Angus. He was the one that was supposed to have it, right?

No worries. I’ll just tow it after my bulldozer, and I’ll be there in a jiffy. Meet me there!

Finally There

mr_bucket

I need to get going, Rita. Give Angus the good news that the horse transport finally is in place, will you? The bad news being that it doesn’t work any more, of course. But he’s quite the handyman, he can probably fix it. 

I’ll just wrap everything up and head for town, I’ll see you there sometime!

A Decent Crowbar Fixes All Problems

angus_goldspur

Okay. This was typical… The horse transport is completely broken…

But, I don’t give up this easily! Do you hear, Rita? I’ll fix this horse transport good, I promise you that!!

Though, I need your help, Rita. Idun has forbidden me to fix more stuff since I tried to repair our old plow. I left that thing in a state of itty bitty crumbs, I’m afraid… My patented method of repair didn’t quite succeed on that one. BUT, I’ll teach you how to repair things Angus Goldspur’s way, and then you can fix it instead!

You do like this. Take this nice crowbar and whack the horse transport all over the place where it looks broken. It’s all about scaring the thing into operating mode!

Come back when you get it running again, Rita.

Objectives: Use the crowbar to repair the horse transport. Afterwards, speak to Angus Goldspur.

Rewards: 1000 Jorvik Shillings, 100 XP, Summer Blouse

Dismount your horse to use the crowbar on the places indicated by Angus. Whack it good, now.

Return to him when you have hit it in all the right places.

angus_goldspur

Look Rita, my method really works! This was the first time as a matter of fact, but I knew it! With a decent crowbar you can fix all kinds of problems!

Thank you. Thank you very much. You can use our horse transport as often as you like, and you’re also welcome to visit anytime you like.

Bye then!

filip, gavin, idun, isolde, isolde and loke are back, on excursion under supervision, under supervision

Isolde and Loke Are Back

idun_goldspur

Hello Rita! Isolde and Loke came home yesterday after you’d left. We had a delightful family dinner, all of us, Loke too. He’s actually a really nice lad, believe it or not. I guess he and Isolde can see each other now, under supervision of an adult, that is. I don’t want to know about any hanky panky!

Where are they now? They rode over to the Sunfield farm together to speak to Filip and Martina. Ride there too and see if you find them. They wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for them.

Tristan? Well, he won’t get away easy. I’ve raised him too sloppy, but he’ll work hard until he’s learned the value of responsibility and how to behave oneself. How I’m going to accomplish that? Well, I’ll punish him the same way I punished Loke, by mucking the pigsty on the Sunfield farm for a full year. That’ll do.

When I think about what that blasted kid did, grrr…. It’s best he keeps away, so he won’t have to face the wrath of Goldspur!!

Objectives: Ride and speak to Filip Sunfield.

Rewards: 300 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 100 with Sunfield Family

Ride and see how they are doing at the Sunfield farm.

filip_sunfield

Hey Rita! I’m so happy everything worked out. What if you hadn’t helped us get to the bottom of this? Loke would have become even more unhappy, and the real perpetrator would have gotten away with it. I’ll straighten up Tristan, labor him with honest work from morning until nightfall, if need be. 

How he’s doing? He’s oinking more than the pigs, that lad. Ha! But Martina’s keeping an eye on him, making sure he’s not just lazing off. We’re used to that kind of thing from keeping an eye on Loke.

On Excursion Under Supervision

Rita! We were wondering where you were. We wanted to thank you for everything.

Everything’s so wonderful now. We get to be together and don’t have to slip away all the time. We just have to be a little sneaky so that we don’t have to be chaperoned all the time, teehee.

Thank you again. We’ll see you around. Oh, by the way, here’s the key to the tree house. Now that we don’t have to hide our love any more, we don’t need it. You can borrow it as much as you like. 

Bye Rita!

That blasted Loke!!!

What has he done now?! He’s run away! That wretched youngster’s nothing but trouble… How dare he?

You need to find him Rita. You need to stop him before he does even more flimflam and wrecks even more havoc on our family’s reputation. If such a thing is even possible…

Wait!

Listen! The first he would do is try to meet Isolde! Ride over to Idun Goldspur as quickly as you can and warn her that Loke is afoot. She will see to it that Isolde is kept away until we can get a hold on hi again.

Ooooh, when I get my hands on that little knave, I’ll see to it that he’s sent to the hardiest boarding school I can find! I’ve had it!

More Runaways to Catch

hannibel_goldspur

Tehee! We found a whole cage of chickens at the top of the silo.

We know we’re not supposed to play there Mom, but… We heard a lot of noise from there and it’s the best hiding place when playing hide and seek!

The chickens are fun! They want to play hide and seek all the time too so we let them out! Though… Now they’ve hid all over the farm and fields and we can’t find them. But we’re hungry now anyway so we’re done playing. 

What’s for food Mom? We want food noooooooow!!!

Gather all the chickens? Why? That’s no fun! You can do that, Rita. You were kicking in hide and seek!

FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! FOOOOOOOD!!

Objectives: Locate all the chickens and confront Tristan.

What, mom? If I know anything about the chickens… No… How can you even think thank?! Those aren’t the chickens from the Sunfield farm! Here’s only five, I took six! OOPS! I mean, Loke took six…

Hehe, you believe me, don’t you mom? Your own son?

It wasn’t me!!!

Mom, why are you looking at me like that?

If I don’t admit guilt now, you’ll let me taste the wrath of the Goldspurs?

GULP!

…

WAAAHH!!!

Okay, sniffle. I admit it.

It was me that stole the chickens. Stupid Loke had laid claim on my sister, and I couldn’t allow it. I was forced to put an end to their relationship. You understand, don’t you mom? You had forbidden them to meet, so I was in my right trying to make everyone think he’s a thief!

Now you’re looking at me like that again…

Okay, sniffle… I’ll tell…

I took a button from Isolde’s blouse and dropped it by the Sunfield’s chicken coop as I stole their chickens. Everything was going according to plan. 

Loke was blamed and Isolde ended it with him. It went even better than planned, Loke admitted guilt even! He must have taken the heat for it thinking Isolde stole the chickens.

So mom, now I’ve told the truth. Everything is good now, right?

A Secret Hiding Place

idun_goldspur

Hmm… There is something about a tree house in Greendale, but nothing about where. It’s a huge forest, it’ll be like looking for a needle in a haystack if you’re just to wander about until you stumble across it. Wait, here’s something interesting…

“…the tree house is beautiful even if it’s old. I wonder who built it to begin with? We found it by accident and we wondered how we could ever find it again once we left. Luckily, Loke discovered some secret bushes growing by the path leading to the house. If he hadn’t found the bushes with the white flowers, I doubt we’d ever find our way back. Someone must have planted them there long ago. The grow wild now. Every time I’m going to the tree house, I simply ride to the road leading to Greendale behind the pastures and look for the first bush, and then it’s simple to find the way back to our wonderful tree house.”

Hmm… She must mean the pastures beneath the mill, but I don’t understand what she means by special bushes. There isn’t any bushes with white flowers in Greendale, is there?

What are we going to do, Rita? This wasn’t any help. What? You believe this was precisely what you needed to know to find them?

Okay, I trust you! Come back once you’ve found them! Good luck!

Objectives: Ride to the pastures beneath the mill and follow the road to Greendale. Look for white bushes and follow them to find the tree house.

Start by Molly at the head of the Greendale race (between the horse pastures and the wheat fields). Going up to the left, there is a large bush with white flowers that marks the beginning of the trail to the tree house.

OW! Why do you hit me, Isolde?

It’s not like I mentioned that it’s hidden on the far end of the cliffs above the Grey Gate!

OOW! Why are you hitting me so hard?!

She’ll never find the old druid rock there! OOOOOWWW!!!

But… Everyone knows we’re innocent now? Excellent! We’re starting to get rather hungry, actually. It will be good to go home. 

We need to pack everything and then we’ll return home. Tell mom she doesn’t need to worry, we’re okay. Listen, Rita, please promise not to tell anyone where the tree house is. You promise? Good. Our parents can’t know. We’ll meet here even if they forbid us to see each other.

Hey, Rita! You’re really starting to make a name for yourself at Jorvik Stables as an accomplished rider! Are you interested in a challenge? You are? Good!

You see, I’ve created a new contest which I think you’ll like. It’s not so simple, but that’s the intention. For a long time, I’ve wanted to make a contest for our most premium riders, something to really give them a challenge.

You can now run the Elite Competition as a daily race.

Ms Drake has noticed your hard work with G.E.D. Time to speak with her by the Jarlaheim office.

A Step Up in Your Career?

ms_drake

Rita, get over here.

I’ve observed you and you’ve done very well. I hereby promote you to my personal assistant. You won’t get any pay of course, you’re still too inexperienced, but as my assistant, I’ll have more assignments for you in the future. I expect that you’ll handle the work you already to, in addition to any new chores I might have for you.

Don’t think you can get away, don’t even dare to resign! If you betray me, you’ll regret it forever.

Alright. Well done.

Your first assignment is to mail this report to G.E.D.’s management. It contains classified information about our work here, so don’t you dare leave it out of your sight for even a second!

(You believe this is exactly what Herman has been waiting for. A report describing G.E.D.’s activities in Jarlaheim. You decide to ride to Herman instead of mailing the report.)

Let’s see what it says.

Let’s see now…

…

This confirms my worst suspicions, Rita… G.E.D.’s plans will destroy everything we hold dear here in the Harvest Counties. I’ll have to think, Rita. Something needs to be done, but I’m not sure what…

There’s no point in you waiting here. Ride out and continue your adventures, and I’ll call on you when I’ve come up with a plan.

See ya! And once again, amazingly well done, Rita!

Jill in Jarlaheim has another task for you to help more Harvest Counties residents.

Missing Poultry

jill_goldspur

Hello Rita.

If you have time, I’d be grateful for your assistance. I’ve received a request for aid from Filip Sunfield on behalf of the city. As always I’m terribly busy. Jack has managed to infuriate the entire merchant quarter by saying he’ll tear down the whole area to build a disco there instead. He didn’t mean anything, he’d just been to Fort Pinta and danced and the reporter who spoke to him happened to catch him precisely as he returned, at five in the morning!

So, I need to sort out this blunder before it gets any worse…

You have time to help me? Thank you Rita, it’s much appreciated. I don’t know much, but apparently, his chickens have gone missing. I think it best if you ride over there at first opportunity and let him do the explaining. 

You might have been to the Sunfield farm already? If not, it’s quite simple to locate it. Ride eastwards, through the city gates, towards Jorvik Stables, but make a turn to the north once you get to the horse pastures. It’s the farm northeast of Jorvik Stables. 

Good luck, Rita.

Hello there! Nice to meet you.

I do not have time to talk to you right now. You see, our chickens are gone, and I’ve been busy trying to find them.

It was a good idea of her to send for you. This is a mystery and it needs your shrewd kind to solve it.

Not a Feather Left

filip_sunfield

It was like this. In the morning I was peacefully sleeping when Saga all of a sudden came screaming that the chickens were all gone! All of them! I’m usually quite sleepy in the morning, but you can understand I was wide awake in an instant and ran to the chicken coop as quickly as my feet would take me. All the chickens were indeed gone. Not even a feather was left!

First I thought it must have been a fox, but all the shutters were closed and there were no holes a fox could get in, or a chicken out, for that matter. My family and I have searched the entire estate for hours without so much as stumbling on a clue. I don’t have time to search any more, there is simply too much that needs doing on the farm which cannot wait. 

Hmm. You know what? Go inspect the chicken coop yourself and try to figure out what has happened. You can find it in the courtyard in front of the silo. It’s hard to miss. 

Thank you for your help, Rita. Let me know if you find anything. 

Objectives: Inspect the chicken coop and see if you can find a clue to what has happened to the chickens.

Hello again, Rita. Have you figured out what happened to my chickens?

No?

Oh. That was it then. Poor chickens…

What? You found something on the ground? Let me see.

Hmm… What is this now?

A button. Well, it’s not mine, but that’s about all I can tell you about it. Listen. There isn’t anything special about it. Anyone might have lost it there. It’s the only clue we have? Well, alright then. Who might know something? Well, my family are the only ones who could have lost it I suppose.

Is it Saga’s Button?

filip_sunfield

Saga’s my daughter. She was the one who first discovered that the chickens were missing. She’s over at the farm, working. Maybe it’s her button?

A Bag to Carry

saga_sunfield

Wow! I was so shocked when I discovered all the chickens were missing, I’ve not been able to do anything sensible all day. I’ve just been pondering what happened. What if someone has bird-napped them?!

A button? Oh, I’d like to have a look but I have to all the chores I promised mom and dad before it gets too late. I have to carry awfully heavy bags from the silo to a spot behind the wall for transporting. Whew! I can only carry them for a yard or so before I need to take a breather, otherwise I couldn’t possibly manage. When I’m done, we can speak, Rita, but right now I need to focus on my task at hand.

You can carry the bags on your horse? What a great idea! Surely that will be very fast. Okay, the bags are over there by the silo. Place them behind the wall on the back side of the farm.

Thank you for your help!

Objectives: Carry bags from the silo and place them by the wall on the back side of the farm. Return to Saga Sunfield afterwards.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Sunfield Family

You can only carry one bag at a time, and the weight slows your horse down, so move carefully with the bags. When you are finished moving all of them, speak with Saga again.

saga_sunfield

Thank you for your help!

Now, let me think. I got up earlier than anyone this morning, and when I got out, all the chickens were gone! I’ve been all over, but they’re just gone. I don’t know what happened.

A button? Let me see. So, you found this on the ground next to the chicken coop?

Hmm… It’s not very dirty. It can’t have been on the ground for long.

Unfortunately I don’t recognize it. Hope someone else is able to help you.

Good luck! See you around!

The Cows Need Milking

Listen, I don’t have time for you right now. The chickens are gone and you’ve found a button, I know, I know. It’s not breaking news. But do you know what? There is nothing I can do, and if everyone was to run around and search for some runaway chickens, nothing would be done around here. 

You really want me to take a look at that button? Okay, here’s what we’ll do If you help me milk the cows, I’ll save some time. Then I’ll have a look at your button.

Here’s a bucket. Use it to milk the cows in the cowshed and return to me afterwards.

Might Loke Have Lost a Button?

filip_sunfield

You could ask my son Loke if the button is his… Listen, I’ve always tried to raise my children in the best possible way, but Loke is special. Sigh. His behavior worsens whatever I do. What I mean is, if you speak to him, don’t let his demeanor color your impression of this family. 

Where is he? He usually avoids all sorts of work, but you’ll probably find him close to home if you search for him. If you find him, tell him to much the pigsty right away. I told him to do it hours ago!

You really want to know, don’t you?

Hehe… Let’s see. Okay. I’ll tell you if you do me a favor. Take this shovel next to me and muck out the pigsty and I’ll tell you what I know. And don’t go lazy on me, that sludge should behave like a mirror when you’re done, otherwise I won’t tell you jack!

______________

An Unlikely Thief

filip_sunfield

What are you saying? It’s Isolde’s button? Isolde?! Oh no. She would never steal any chickens.

No Rita, you’re on the wrong track. Isolde would never do such a thing, she’s a conscientious girl.

If I know her? Well, she used to be here all the time before, but then she started to hang out with my son, Loke. Idun, her mother, put a stop to her visits here. She believed my son to be of “bad influence,” as she put it. Loke was devastated. Since then he’s become this bitter slacker who talks back and refuses to help around the farm.

I always liked Idun. She seemed like a good person, but in that case she went overboard if you ask me. Couldn’t she have spoken to Martina and myself first?

Now you know. But as I said, Isolde would never steal anything. Why don’t you ride over there and speak to her yourself? She lives on the Goldspur’s ground, on the other side of Jarlaheim. But trust me, she would never do such a thing.

Objectives: Ride to the Goldspur grounds and speak to Isolde Goldspur.

Isolde can be found on the lower mill, near the horse stables and Jakob.

Tristan’s Tale

tristan_goldspur

Chickens stolen from the Sunfield farm? How dare you accuse my sister Isolde of that! It was Loke! Why are you snooping around here? Loke did it! How did I know that?

Loke always does that sort of thing.

You found Isolde’s button by the chicken coop? Don’t you get it? Loke stole it and placed it by the chicken coop to blame Isolde. He’s both sneaky and nasty, that creep.

What?!

How I knew the button was found by the chicken coop?

Objectives: Speak to Tristan again.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Goldspur Family

Well… I never said where the button was found. You seem to have incriminated yourself, sir.

tristan_goldspur

Of course the button must have been by the chicken coop! That’s where Loke stole the chickens, you said so!

If the button belongs to Isolde as you’re claiming, it’s obvious he stole it to blame her. That boy’s so rotten, blaming my sister who’s the best and kindest. If I see him, then… Grrr.

Listen, if you still think Isolde did it, speak to my grandfather Jakob. He’ll vouch for her.

Jakob’s Tale

jakob_goldspur

If Isolde would have stolen chickens on the Sunfield farm? Ho ho ho. No, that can’t be right. Isolde is always diligent and always follows the rules. She wouldn’t even steal a feather from a chicken.

When I saw her last? Early this morning, which is a little unusual, she’s never up that early. Isolde has many good qualities, but being an early bird is not one of them.

What she was doing at the time? She came riding on a horse she’d borrowed from the stable.

Where she’d been?

You’re all questions, aren’t you? I apologize, but I don’t have time to speak to you all day. You need to come back later.

It’s important? Well, so is this. I need to carry bags from the silo to one of our mills, otherwise they won’t have any seeds to grind.

You’ll help me if I tell you more? Hmm… My back isn’t what it used to be so that’d be lovely, actually. Okay, carry a bag to every mill on our grounds and I’ll answer your questions. That’s how it’s gonna be. Come back once you’re done. 

Objectives: Take a bag from the silo and carry it to the lower mill. Then fetch another back and carry it to the upper mill on the Goldspur grounds. Return to Jakob.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Goldspur Family

Pick up a bag next to the stable and take it to the first mill. You can only carry one bag at a time and because they are heavy, your horse cannot go faster than a canter. When you have moved both bags, return to Jakob.

jakob_goldspur

Thank you. It was kind of you to help me. What was it that you wanted to know? Where Isolde has been when I saw her this morning?

She said she’d woken early and ridden to Greendale. I thought it to be a bit odd, since she came from the other direction, but today’s youth do all sorts of odd things so I didn’t give it any more thought.

Anything else I noticed? Hmm… Well, I wondered why she had taken the horse with that broken shoe. I haven’t had the time to replace it, but I’ve put up a notice by the horse’s stable booth saying not to ride it. I asked her how she could have missed it, but she just mumbled back and left hurriedly. I don’t always understand the ways of today’s youth, but that note was impossible to miss unless she’d been there during the night and there had been a power outage killing the lights. If that had been the case, I might have understood.

Oh well, I need to keep going. I hope my answers were of some help. Goodbye. 

Quest completed

Now it’s time to find some clues to back up Jakob’s story. Search in front of the horse stables for the first clue.

A Clue on the Ground

self

What is this? Fresh horse tracks on the ground. Hmm… It seems a horse with a broken horseshoe has walked here recently. 

What if it was the horse Isolde rode on last night? It must be! If I can locate the horse, maybe I can prove it’s been on the Sunfield farm?

Objectives: Look for a horse with a busted shoe on the Goldspur grounds.

A Clue on the Horse

Hmm… Let me have a closer look at the broken horse shoe.

A leaf seems to be stuck to it. Hmm… Hold on…

Aha! On the Sunfield farm there is a large tree. This leaf could come from there. It must have been this horse Isolde rode last night.

If I can find tracks belonging to the broken shoe of this horse on the Sunfield farm, it will be conclusive evidence that someone from the Goldspur family was there.

I’ll ride out there at once! What if I’m right!

Objectives: Locate a track mark from a hoof with a broken shoe somewhere on the Sunfield Farm.

What? You were just wondering? She’s not a thief?

What are you doing?! You come to my estate and accuse my daughter of being a chicken thief? Get lost!

Idun’s Night

idun_goldspur

Was it you who made my husband so agitated just now? Don’t mind him, he’s known for his short fuse.

What did you ask him?

What? You said Isolde is a chicken thief?

Are you out of your mind?!

You were lucky. You probably caught him so off-guard that he didn’t really get whAt you said. If he’d been more alert, both you and your horse would have left faster than you can spell “bottle cap!” 

If you have to ask stupid questions, you should have come to me first. Remember that, don’t speak to Angus about anything that will agitate him. 

Of course Isolde hasn’t stolen any chickens! She always does what we tell her, and we have strictly forbidden her to be out at night and ever visiting that Sunfield farm ever again! That boy Loke and her are not to fraternize, and that’s that!

Why she can’t see Loke? That boy is bad news, a horrible influence. How I know? My son Tristan has told me about him. He always skips work, steals stuff, lies, and is unpleasant towards his parents. A person like that is not to socialize with my daughter. If I’m sure? Shouldn’t I trust my own son?

Tristan, tell lies?!

You…

How dare you…

Beware, little girl! Beware the wrath of Goldspur!

Grr…

Okay… I’ll calm down. You don’t know us, so you don’t quite understand what your claiming about us… I believe we’ve reached a point where words alone are insufficient for building confidence between us. If you want our help, you’ll have to help us. Weed out one of our fields and we’ll talk later. Do it so that I know you’re not only here to spread discontent. I need a couple of minutes to calm down as well…

Do not return until you’ve removed all the weeds on the field.

Objectives: Remove all weeds growing on Goldspur’s field. Return to Idun afterwards.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Goldspur Family

Ride down to the hay field between the house and the mill. Remove all of the weeds in the field and return to Idun when you are finished. The weeds may be hard to see through the hay plants, so take it slow, rotate your camera, and use the mini map to help guide you.


idun_goldspur

So all the weeds are gone now? Good.

If I understand you correctly, some chickens have been stolen from the Sunfield farm last night. Why do you think Isolde is the one who did it? Her button was found on the ground next to the chicken coop?

That was odd…

She would never do such a thing, but I guess we’ll have to get to the bottom of this. Just don’t agitate Angus again…

I don’t think Isolde is the culprit, but…

Hmm…

Maybe the twins know something about this button? They start to giggle every time I get near and tell me they have a secret about Isolde they don’t want to share. I’ve asked them, but they just run away, choking with giggles.

If you can get the secret out of them, you might learn something that can explain all of this.

That should be enough investigating to interrogate the suspect. Speak to Isolde down at the Goldspur Mill.

Okay! OKAY! I admit it.

It’s true. 

I was on the Sunfield farm last night. But I didn’t steal any chickens! It was to see Loke. My mother has forbidden me to see him, but we can’t bear to be apart. That’s why I sneak away at nights to see him in secret.

I just thought of something, Rita!

You like horses, don’t you? I though so, I’m pretty clever sometimes! I don’t know exactly how I knew it, it must have been some subtle clues about you that I picked up on.

You know, Jarlaheim is right beside Jorvik Stables. Jorvik Stables is the most famous stable on Jorvik. You have to go and visit it. I promise you won’t regret it! If you see Herman, the guy who runs the stables, give him my best!

You need to go now? Okay, I understand. You are going to speak with the man who was waving from the other side of the bridge? Did you see him?

Talk to him. He looked like he wanted something.

We’ll see you in Jarlaheim, Rita!

Nah… You help me and I’ll help you. This is just exchange of services. Please! I really need your help and I can’t do it myself. Please, please, please!

You will? Thank you, thank you!

Okay. First I’ll need a pen and paper to write down all the thinks we need to do. I don’t remember exactly where I put them… But they are somewhere around here. Can you find them for me?

Objectives: Fetch a pen and some paper for Ed Field. They are nearby.

Collect the pen and paper that are sitting around near the inn and bring them to Ed.

Completely still… My brain is running on maximum rev but I can’t seem to change gears… Oh, oh, oh…

You! Fetch my thinking hat! How could I forget? It won’t work without it!

It must be somewhere nearby, but I can’t remember where I put it… If I search down here, you can check out the height over there, okay? 

Objectives: Fetch Ed Field’s thinking hat which he has misplaced somewhere on the height behind the inn.

Ride around and search for Ed’s hat, then return to him when you have found it.

Look! There’s my sweet hat! Now I’m gonna think insanely well!

There we go. Now it’s sitting as it should. Are you ready? Ready for a truckload of amazing ideas? Excited to behold the hatching of the next Nobel Prize theory? Sit back and enjoy the world’s foremost one-man brainstormer. NO. Brainhurricaner!!

Okay. Okay. The brain is picking up cyclone speed! Hold on!

Hmm… The first thin we’ll need is a modern name. Something cool, globally, luxurious, a little family friendly, a little organic…

Mmm… Wait, don’t disturb me…

I GOT IT!

WOLF HALL INN!

BEAUTIFUL! What a perfect name! It reminds me of what the inn was called once, but it’s brand new and fresh at the same time? This will be perfect!

NICE!

Weeding for the Guests

Wow… No I’m exhausted… It’s an effort to think of all these great ideas, and there is still so much to do…

You can help? How very kind!

Okay. It’s very kind of you and I won’t keep you much longer, I promise. You’ve seen all the weeds and stuff that grows here, right? It’s frightening off the customers. Here’s my old chainsaw, borrow it and clear away all the thistles and things. 

Objectives: Remove any undergrowth around the inn with the chainsaw.

The New Jorvikian Kitchen

ed_field

You know, one problem with Wolf Hall In is that we’re stuck in past times… Look at this old menu I found.

This won’t work, it’s food for the 00’s!

If we’re going to put Wolf Hall Inn on the map, we have to spice up the menu! I can think up some amazing dishes if I just get some inspiration.

Search for exciting ingredients that I can create great dishes with, and I’ll use my thinking hat to brainhurricane forth a three star menu in no time.

Okay? Good! In the meantime, I’ll wait here and stretch mentally. I don’t want to pull my brain, you see. It’s been a while since I thought this heavy thoughts.

Objectives: Find ingredients for new and exciting dishes that can be served at the inn.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Wolf Hall Inn

Organic is the way to go these days. Search around the inn for all natural ingredients, then return to Ed.

ed_field

Let’s see. This will be perfect. I can feel the inspiration flowing. Hold on, a cyclone is brewing in my brain again!

Listen!

Starter: Ed Field’s rare summerchops on a bed of noodles in tomato sauce.

Main course: Fried corn balls a la Summerblaze. Served with an exciting salad made of the neighbors’ fruits and the finest American sauces.

Dessert: Surprise, Rita. A lovely brown sorbet, made with gifts from the king of the forest, with crispy meat sauce on a mirror of freshly harvested corn. Served with hot red sauce. 

I’m a genius! A fresh crossover mix of traditional Jorvikian kitchen, inspired by American food, but with a touch of Asia and honest, classic European finesse. A truckload of NICE!

Hey!

Hey, you know what?

I’m opening this place. I can’t wait any longer. WOLF HALL INN IS OPEN!

Through Mountain, Through Forest

ed_field

Thank you for your aid, Rita. Now I will keep my promise and tell you how to get to Jorvik Stables.

Ride like this. Continue on the road due west and take a left at the mountain pass. Continue through the mountain pass and into Greendale Forest. Keep to the road and you’ll soon see the coast again. There you’ll see a small cottage where the Pike family live.

They usually deliver fish and seafood to the inn, so while you’re there you might as well deliver Mrs Pike this order from me. Can you do it?

Awesome! People can certainly rely on you, Rita.

Here, take my chainsaw with you. The road through the mountain pass has become overgrown, so you need to cut through the shrubbery to get through.

Tell Mrs Pike to show you the rest of the way to Jorvik Stables once you see her.

Good luck Rita, we’ll meet again!

Objectives: Clear away the bushes blocking the passage to Greendale and speak to Mrs Pike living by the coast.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Ride up the road to Greendale. Dismount your horse to clear all of the brush. When it is all clear, continue riding through Greendale Forest. You will see Mrs Pike at the end of the road.

mrs_pike

Hello there, who are you?

I haven’t seen anyone on the road through Greendale Valley in a very long time…

Unwelcome Message in a Bottle

mrs_pike

Could you help me with something while you’re here?

It happens to be that the road south is closed now. I don’t really know why, but a year ago our neighbor Harold put up a fence between our lands. We’ve always gotten along well, but suddenly, overnight, there was a fence there! We haven’t heard from him since, only seen him from a distance, where he walks over his field with a sunken head. I’ve called upon him, but he hasn’t even looked in my direction.

Besides our broken friendship, it has caused other problems. For instance, bottles from his bottling plant have started to float ashore on our beach. I don’t know why he’s throwing the bottles into the sea, but could you ride down to the beach below and pick up all the bottles you can find?

Thanks, that was kind of you!

Objectives: Pick up the beached bottles and bring them to Mrs Pike.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

What a shame…

Ride down on the beach and pick up all the bottles. Return to Mrs Pike with the bottles.

mrs_pike

Thanks, that was kind of you. I guess I should tell the Council about this issue, but something tells me our neighbor Harold has enough problems for now. Something must have happened, it’s not normal for someone to shield themselves from the world like this…

Further Towards Jorvik Stables

mrs_pike

An order from the inn? That’s good, we really need the income now that the road down south is closed as well. That Ed Field has a nose for business, it’s be a boost for the entire county if he gets the inn up and running again.

You want to go to Jorvik Stable? Well, just continue along the coast due west until you reach Jarlaheim. Ride through the city and you’ll soon see the stable.

However, if you’re going to Jarlaheim, talk to Jack Goldspur by the City Hall, he’s the city’s new mayor. I’m just not sure if Jack is the right man for the job. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, if you get my drift. Hehe. Luckily his sister Jill helps him at least. They really need all the help they can get, so talk to Jack to see if there is anything you can do. The whole county would appreciate if if you could help the city back on its feet. 

Alright, I won’t take up more of your precious time. Ride west on the main road, that’s all you really need to know. 

Objectives: Ride along the coast to Jarlaheim and speak to Jack Goldspur.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Follow the road west to Jarlaheim. Ride into the city center and you’ll find the large City Hall past the town square and water fountain. Speak with Jack in front of the City Hall.

The Reluctant Mayor

jack_goldspur

Hey Rita, welcome to Jarlaheim! Pride of Southern Jorvik and the world’s favorite place! What can I do for you, Rita?

You need to see Herman? 

Okay.

That was terribly typical. That’s like the only thing I can’t help you with. Herman is gone, disappeared, nowhere to be found! When I need him the most, he goes on vacation! Do you have any idea how much trouble that causes me?

Why do I need Herman? Well, I happen to be the mayor of Jarlaheim, a very honorable duty! Why me? No one else wanted it, so Herman asked me if I would accept this respectable position. Excellent, I thought. As mayor I’ll get to experience fine dining, movie premieres, cool parties, and lots of nice gifts all the time!

But it isn’t at all like that! I’m just shuffling paper all day, how boring is that! I told Herman, but he said I should be proud of the responsibility, work hard and be a role model for the city residents.

Responsibility? Leadership? Role model? Bah! Yuck! Fie! You hear for yourself how incredibly boring it is…

I’ve tried to get a hold of Herman to get him to withdraw this worthless job, but I can’t because he’s on vacation. I’m stuck!

However, you can’t fool this guy that easily. Listen closely. I’ve come up with an awesome idea! I’ve called for election, because I’m quitting. 

Someone else can take over this drudging job. Ha!

What? Oh, yes. What did you want, Rita? Get to Jorvik Stables?

 I know Johanna who works at Jorvik Stables. If you help me with my awesome plan, I’ll call and tell her that you need to get a hold of Herman. She might be able to help you. Do we have a deal? Good!

Take these ballots for the new election and pass them out here in the city, and I’ll prepare the next step of my plan. You should take the opportunity to check out the city in the meantime. See ya!

Objectives: Pass out the ballots for the new election in the city.

TL;DR, Jack is a big whiner and gets you to help him get out of doing actual work. That’s about all there is to him. No depth of character here, carry on…

Post all of the ballots into the mailboxes located around the city, then return to Jack when you are finished.

jack_goldspur

Did it go well? Nice!

Okay, now it’s time to start the next part of the plan. We have to find new candidates for this money job. I’ve already spoken to the most eligible, but they weren’t willing when I asked them. However, if you do it instead, then they’ll have to say yes!

I should have asked if they wanted to set up before you handed out the ballots? Oh! It’s these kind of boring rules and stuff that makes me not want this money job, get it?

To Paddock Island with Inquiries

jack_goldspur

Alright. The first candidate that people can vote for is Dorith Jarlasson of Paddock Island, the head of the Jarlasson family. She’s always been a calm and quiet person, working hard all her life. She’s very interested in the history of the Harvest Counties and is passionate about the city. In short, she is super boring, drier than the Sahara, and thus perfect for the job!

Sigh. What if my mom hadn’t disappeared without a trace. My mother?

Yes, Evelyn Goldspur, the real mayor. One day, a few months ago, she just vanished and nobody has heard a peep from her since. Everyone has been looking all over for her, but there is no trace of her. Crazy mysterious!

We’ll have to talk about that another time. Ride off and talk to Dorith on Paddock Island now. Ask her nicely Rita, and fingers crossed she’ll accept!

Objectives: Ask Dorith Jarlasson on Paddock Island if she wants to run for election.

Losing your mother still doesn’t make me feel bad for you. Honest work is good for you, Jack…

______________

Dorith Jarlasson as Mayor? 

dorith_jarlasson

You can tell Jack I won’t run for election. We have too much to do here at the farm, so many difficult things have happened.

It’s so sad about Evelyn. It’s hard to imagine a better mayor. One day everything was normal, and the next she was vanished. What happened? 

The only think I know is that she was attending the inauguration of the opening of G.E.D’s new mine in the mountains, but she obviously never made it. Ms Drake got in touch during the evening and wondered why Evelyn hadn’t attended the ceremony, apparently she was going to sue the city for insult and lost marketing opportunities or something.

You’ll have to ask someone else, I was so busy here at the farm, I hardly know any details. 

Give Jack my regards and tell him to find someone else. 

Objectives: Ride back to Jack.

Dad as Mayor

jack_goldspur

The next guy that would be perfect is my dad, Jakob Goldspur. He would be an awesome mayor. He’s very clever and he helped my mother a lot when she was the mayor.

Ask my dad if he would like to run. He’s said no like a hundred times in the past, but if you were the one to ask him, he might change his mind.

He should actually run! If he hadn’t told me to be the mayor, I’d never taken the job, no matter how cool Herman said it was. But, I’m a guy who does what his parents tell him. Besides not going to school and having parties at home… But other than that I’m an awesome son, get it?

Good luck Rita, keeping my fingers crossed for you, super hard!

Objectives: Ask Jack Goldspur if he would like to run for office.

Jakob Isn’t Interested

jakob_goldspur

Why won’t Jack give up? I’ve told him a hundred times I don’t want to be mayor. It’s too painful to take the job which my lovely wife used to have. I would be reminded of her every day, I couldn’t bear it.

Do you know what happened? No? Right, you’re new in the county. My wife, Evelyn Goldspur, was mayor in Jarlaheim. She made the city prosper and everyone loved her. Then, one day, she vanished. I waved goodbye to her in the morning, and the only thing I know is that she was going to the opening ceremony of G.E.D’s new mine in the evening. But apparently she never showed, and nobody knows where she went. What I think? 

I don’t know… It’s strange we didn’t find a single clue, and no one has seen her since she left office in the city… I know she lives. If something had happened, I’d know it. 

Sigh. Tell my son he’ll have to find some other mayor.

Sigh. What if my mom was here Rita? She would know exactly what to do about this.

Okay, talk to Filip Sunfield then. He’s the same age as I am, but goody-goody, educated, and incredibly boring. He seems to be precisely the kind of guy people in this city like. 

Nah, I haven’t talked to him. He doesn’t seem he takes me seriously, so I figured there was no point. But maybe you’ll have more luck with him?

Make an attempt in any case, okay? Ask Filip Sunfield if he would run for office. Good luck and stuff.

Not While There is Still a Chance

filip_sunfield

No, Rita, I can’t run for the office of mayor. Evelyn was a good friend and I know in my heart she still lives. If I took her seat as mayor, it would be to admit her death, and I can’t do that.

What happened? I do’t know… She was here for the lunch the same day and everything seemed normal. She was attending the inauguration of G.E.D’s new mine in the evening and it sounded to her she didn’t look much forward to it. She and Ms Drake, head of Jarlaheim G.E.D. didn’t see eye to eye, but she was attending nevertheless, as the city’s representative.

I’m sorry, Rita. Tell Jack he’ll have to find someone else.

Return to Jack tomorrow.

Let’s see if Jack’s sister, Jill, has anything actually productive to do.

Unwilling to Sign

jill_goldspur

Good day. With whom am I speaking? Rita.

Rita, how lovely to meet you. I noticed you were talking to my brother Jack. He isn’t… How should I put this? He doesn’t have the necessary capability to function as mayor. But our father insisted he should take the job! I’m guessing he wants Jack to grow up and learn to take responsibility. Things are like they are now. Jack is the mayor and I’m trying to salvage the situation, as usual.

I apologize, I will not bore you with our family affairs. But as you understand, I’m busy trying to get Jack to do what he should.

Would you be able to help me with a little something? You would? Thanks, Rita.

It’s very simple. Jan Jarlasson submitted an application for a building permit several weeks ago. It’s routine work and Jack should have signed off on the application the same day it arrived. Could you get him to sign off on this paper? When I ask him he just waves it away. 

Objectives: Ask Jack to sign off on Jan Jarlasson’s building permit application.

Only one paper? You promise? Okay. Since you helped me handing out those ballots, I’ll be nice to you. Okay, here’s the pen.

So. Now my name is on the paper. This is so incrediblyyyy booooring!
