Snake in the Trap!

freja_sunfield

Hi Rita!

I’ve hardly slept! I’ve just been lying there thinking about the snake — it feels like it took years for you to show up. Casper thought so, too, but now you’re here we should check the traps, right?

I really, really, really, really, REEEEAAAALLLLYYY hope we’ve caught the snake!

Objectives: Check the traps you set up to see if you’ve caught anything, then talk to Freja.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

Ride out to check each of the traps. Return to Freja when you have found the snake.

freja_sunfield

Really?! We’ve caught a snake?! Yay! Lemme see! Lemme see!

Quest completed

______________

What a Beauty!

freja_sunfield

Aww, look! He’s beautiful! I had no idea snakes could be this lovely. Have you ever seen such a pretty snake before?

Hmm, he doesn’t seem very happy to be kept in that cage. It’s probably best I just pick him up and take him out.

You don’t think it’s a good idea?

Oh, it’ll be fine Rita, I’m great with animals! I just think this little guy is a bit scared, so if I just pick him up and pet him a little, he’ll understand there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Objectives: Talk to Freja.

Just because it’s cute, doesn’t mean it’s friendly….

freja_sunfield

OUCH!

Oh no! Sorry I dropped him Rita! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, SORRY!!

Quest completed

______________

Snake on the Loose

freja_sunfield

Sniffle.

Sorry for losing him Rita. I really didn’t mean to! How are we gonna find him again?

If I got hurt? Nah, it’s fine. The snake got so scared when I was going to pet him that he bit me.

It stings a bit but it’s okay. I’m more upset that we’ll never find him again. I’m not sure he’s stupid enough to slither into the trap again. Sniffle.

The books?

You think we can use them to find out more about the snake and find out where he lives?

What a great idea Rita!! Can you help me look?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOOOOUUUU! You’re the best!

Objectives: Help Freja find information about the runaway snake.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Sunfield Family

Answer questions about the snake’s appearance to determine what kind of snake it was that you had caught.

freja_sunfield

Yay! We solved it! He must have been a cliff cobra!

Quest completed

______________

To the Home of the Cliff Cobra

freja_sunfield

We didn’t find a new type of snake, it was a regular cliff cobra. It says here that the cliff cobra is very timid, which is probably why he was so afraid when I was trying to pet him.

Now we know where we can look for them again, near the Forgotten Fields. The snake we caught must’ve been a bit lost.

Come on Rita! Now we’ve got to hurry to the Forgotten Fields so that I can get the pictures I need for school. Since they’re so scared, it’s not a good idea to try to catch another one, so we should probably just take pictures instead.

Please come with me to the Forgotten Fields, Rita? Mom would never let me go all on my own. Please, please, please, please, PLEEEAAASE?!

Yay! To the Forgotten Fields!!

Objectives: Ride to the Forgotten Fields and meet Freja there.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Meet Freja in Forgotten Fields, near the hill by the primeval tree.

freja_sunfield

Oh there you are! How slow can you be?!

______________

The Snake Photographer

freja_sunfield

I told mom and dad that you were coming with me to take photos for my homework. They even let me borrow their camera! Cool, huh?

I don’t know what the problem is, but I can’t seem to be able to take a single picture that isn’t shaky and blurred. Maybe I haven’t eaten enough today and feel a little unsteady. Could you take the pictures for me instead? Please, please, please, please, PLEEEEAAASE?!

YAAAAAY! Now we can take tons of great pictures!

Objectives: Take pictures of the cliff cobras and then talk to Freja.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

Dismount your horse to use the camera, and take pictures of the three cobras that are hanging out nearby. Return to Freja when you have the pictures.

freja_sunfield

Wow, it’s warm! Are you hot?

Oh, nice? These pictures are lovely! I’ll have to show Casper when I get home!

Quest completed

______________

Who’ll Get Home First?

freja_sunfield

Yaaaaawwwwnnn.

I feel really tired… Come on, let’s head home. Casper’s probably wondering where I am.

Ugh, it’s such a long way home though.

I know! Let’s make it fun! I bet you and Summerblaze can’t make it back before me. I have a secret shortcut that you can’t ride along, but I bet I’ll get there before you! Shall we have a race?

I’ll count us in… Ready?

Objectives: Take Freja up on her challenge to see who can get back to the Sunfield Farm the fastest.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP, 75 Horse XP

Reputation: 35 with Sunfield Family

Follow the checkpoints to race back to the farm.

martina_sunfield

Hello Rita!

Where Freja is? Mmm, I haven’t got time for silly games. If everyone just messed around and played tricks all the time, nothing would ever get done.

Quest competed

______________

Where’s Freja?

martina_sunfield

Freja told me that you and her were going to take some photos for her homework, so I thought she’d still be with you…

You say she already went home?

Hmm, I suppose I’ll just try calling her, she’s got her phone with her. Then I’ve got to get back to work.

…

Hmm… No answer.

She’s probably found something fun along the way that’s distracting her. She loses focus pretty easily! Probably a bunny rabbit, a cat, or some other animal that’s caught her eye.

Can you ride out and see where she’s got to? When you find her, tell her to come home right away, it’s almost time for dinner.

Objectives: Look for Freja, she should be somewhere along the road between Sunfield Farm and the Forgotten Fields.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 40 with Sunfield Family

Ride along the road and call for Freja at each of the checkpoints. Speak to her when you have found her sitting on the side of the road.

freja_sunfield

Rita…

I’m sorry. I got so tired and now I feel really sick. My head really hurts…

Quest completed

______________

Helping a Sick Girl Home

freja_sunfield

Sniffle.

I really don’t feel good Rita.

Sniffle.

I really tried to get home but as soon as I stood up, I got really dizzy and felt really sick.

(You feel Freja’s forehead and it feels like she’s running a high fever. You should help her home to Sunfield Farm.)

Objectives: Help Freja home, but ride carefully; she’s feeling really sick…

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Sunfield Family

You have a danger bar for this quest. The faster you ride, the quicker the bar fills up. If the bar completely fills, you will have to restart the quest. To empty the bar, slow to a walk or stop completely.

Speak to Martina when you return to the Sunfield Farm.

martina_sunfield

Rita!! Oh my! What’s happened?!

Quest completed

______________

The Moonlighting Vet Doctor

martina_sunfield

Freja! Oh deary me, you’ve been in the wars, haven’t you? You’ve got a terrible fever!

Rita, I need to know everything that’s happened.

…

Right, so she’s just suddenly fallen sick, you say? This certainly doesn’t seem like a normal flu virus.

I’ll take care of her for now and make sure she gets some rest, and then we’ll call the vet in Jarlaheim and see if she can help. I know it sounds odd, but she’s actually really good at making animals AND humans feel better.

Would you ride off and talk to her?

Lovely. Off you go then!

Objectives: Talk to the vet in Jarlaheim about Freja’s condition.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Apparently in Jorvik a doctor is a doctor, no matter the practice…

dino_valley_vet

Hello there Rita! Welcome! How can I help you?

Quest completed

______________

What’s Wrong with Freja?

dino_valley_vet

What’s that, Martina sent you?

Oh! Freja’s sick?

You’re quite right, that most certainly does not sound like a regular cold…

Can you help me go through everything from the beginning? Together we’ll come up with what might be wrong with poor little Freja.

Objectives: Talk to the vet.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

Recount to the vet everything that has happened today and describe the snake that bit her.

dino_valley_vet

This is completely obvious. The snake’s venom has started to work now. What a good fortune that you came so quickly.

Quest completed

______________

Cliff Cobra Calling Card

dino_valley_vet

Freja hasn’t been bitten by just any old cliff cobra, rather a Jorvegian cliff cobra. They’re venomous and it’s not a surprise Freja feels so sick. It’s very rare that anybody would be bitten by a snake under any circumstances, but as you said, Freja seems to have scared this little fella enough to bite when she tried to pet him. We can get this sorted though! Together we’ll Freja feeling better in no time at all.

While I was a Jorvik University, I learned how to produce anti-venom in case someone had been bitten by a venomous animal. I’ve got everything we need at home apart from the actual venom. The most effective way to make anti-venom is by using the venom itself, which might sound weird but that’s just the way it is.

Usually, we could just take venom from any old snake, but not in this case. The Jorvegian species of cliff cobra is unique is that each snake has a special ‘signature’ in its venom. This means we need to find the actual snake that bit Freja. Quite aside from that, it won’t do to have a venomous snake on the loose at the Sunfield Family farm!

My suggestion is that you capture the snake and bring it back to me. 

Before you do that though, explain the situation to Martina. She’ll be worried sick, no doubt.

See you soon, okay?

Objectives: Tell Martina about Freja’s condition.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

Return to Martina and tell her what the vet said.

martina_sunfield

How did it go, Rita? What did the vet say?

Quest completed

______________

Preparing for a Snake Hunt

martina_sunfield

Sigh. I thought I’d taught Freja not to pick up snakes any old how. What was she thinking? Trying to pet it as well! Whatever will I do with that girl?

Sigh.

But at least we know now what the problem is. It’s best she stays rested until the anti-venom is ready.

I agree with the vet that we should catch the snake, we can’t just have a venomous snake roaming around the farm. Would you be able to help us catch it, Rita?

Thanks! I don’t want you to be bitten as well, so if you help me find a net to catch it in, you’ll be able to use that and keep your distance.

Would you help me have a look for the net first?

Thanks ever so much Rita. I’ll look in the house if you check outside in the farmyard.

Objectives: Look for a net around the Sunfield Farm then talk to Martina.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

The net can be found behind the wood cart, leaning up against the outside wall of the cow barn.

martina_sunfield

There it is! Good job finding it Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Snake Hunter

martina_sunfield

Now you’re equipped with the net, you should be able to catch the snake without being bitten.

This will probably be tricky. We don’t know where the snake is and since they’re so sly, they’re great at hiding. Look for it first, then catch it.

Good luck Rita!

Objectives: Find and capture the cliff cobra.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Sunfield Family

This quest can be done on horseback but is most certainly easier to do on foot. This quest is challenging, do not get discouraged! (Took me three tries to get it.)

Click each area to search for the snake. While the bar fills for you to search, grab the net at the ready because as soon as you do find the snake, it will dart out from the hiding place. Chase after it, and use the net to catch it (hence having the net ready early, so you don’t have to fumble with grabbing it while also chasing the snake). Don’t let the snake get away or you will have to restart the quest.

When you have caught the snake, return to Martina.

martina_sunfield

You got it! Well done!

Quest completed

______________

Snake in a Bag!

martina_sunfield

Great job on catching the snake Rita! Feels good to know that nobody else is at risk of being bitten.

You’ll take the snake to the vet, right? It’ll be faster on horseback, and I really don’t want to leave Freja right now.

Thank you!

Objectives: Take the snake to the vet in Jarlaheim.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

Snake in a bag, got a snake in a bag!

dino_valley_vet

Excellent, Rita! What a great job you’ve done on catching the snake. Now I can make the anti-venom for Freja.

Quest completed

______________

Freja’s Gonna Feel Better Soon

dino_valley_vet

There we go! Here’s the anti-venom for Freja.

I’ve written a little note for Martina so that she knows how much to give to Freja, and she’ll be back on her feet in no time!

I can take care of the snake from here and make sure he gets home, so you don’t need to worry about that. You’ve done more than enough good deeds for the day!

You wouldn’t mind taking the anti-venom back to Martina, would you?

Fantastic, thanks! Have a lovely day, and I’ll see you soon!

Objectives: Give the anti-venom to Martina.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

Return with the anti-venom!

martina_sunfield

Is the anti-venom ready? I can give it to Freja right away! Thanks ever so much for getting it so quickly Rita.

Quest completed

______________

Hero of the Hour!

martina_sunfield

Both Filip and myself are so grateful to you for rescuing Freja! Since the snake isn’t around here anymore it’s nice to know we can relax.

Freja is feeling much better already and is up and about with the best of them! Me and Filip feel like you deserve a present for all the wonderful help you’ve given us and our daughter. Since she nagged so much about being the one to give you the present, it seems as though she wants to say thank you to herself.

I need to get some work done now, but go and talk to Freja!

Objectives: Talk to Freja.

Last Minute Homework

freja_sunfield

Rita! You’ve got to help me! You’ve simply got to! Please, please, please, please, PLEEEEEEASE?

If you don’t help me, I’ll be grounded for like, forever!

Sniffle…

What’s happened? I’ve got tons of homework, obviously. I’m never gonna get it finished! When the teacher finds out I’m behind with my homework, she’ll call my mom and dad…!

They’ll be so angry with me… I’ve had time enough to do the homework, but I’ve been doing so many other things! Casper always wants to play and then my friend and I have been playing loads of Star Horses. Have you played it Rita? It’s my favorite computer game! We should be friends, join and riding club, and play together, you and me! We can call the riding club Unbelievable Goose Network!

Yeah, okay, okay… You’re right, Rita. I should aim to get finished with my homework first.

What?! You’ll help me with it?! Oh wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOOOOUU!

If you help me, then it’ll be done in no time! Then I can play with Casper and play some more Star Horses after that! Hurray!

Oh nooooooo! My assignment papers from the teacher have gone!

Would you help me look for them? There should be three assignments!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOOOUUUU!

______________

Animal Photographer

freja_sunfield

Yay! Let me read what it says here… I’m actually fastest reader in my whole class! Better than Stina and Clara, even though Stina totally won’t even admit it.

Of course! We were supposed to write about life in the countryside. The teacher wants us to write about five ordinary animals that live out in the country. Easy-peasy. We’ve got loads of animals here at home – Casper and the cows!

I can borrow mom and dad’s camera and we can take pictures of all the animals. Teacher’s going to love that and I’ll get good grades. Maybe my grades will be so good that mom and dad will let me buy a new horse in Star Horses.

Rita? What do you say? Would you take pictures of five different animals for me?

Yaaaay! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOOOOUUU!

Objectives: Take pictures of five different kinds of animal, then give them to Freja.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

You can take pictures of the cat, cows, chickens, pigs, and horses. When you have all of the pictures, return to Freja.

Flowers and Leaves for Pressing

freja_sunfield

Rita, how do you spell ‘harvest’?

H, A, R…? Hold on Rita, I need to write it down.

I’m going to get really good grades for this homework, I have to because I really want a new horse in Star Horses. I think I’ll call her MoonBreeze, what do you think? Maybe RainbowSparkle? If you play with me, you can get a horse too and call it Summerblaze!

Can you help me with one thing? Please, please, please, please, PLEEEEEEEASE?

Yay!

My teacher has said that we also need to pick four different flowers and leaves. Together in class, we’ll press them and make pretty pictures. I need to finish writing about the animals so I don’t think I can look for flowers.

If you get four flowers or leaves for me, then both me and Casper will be super happy!

Objectives: Find four different plants for Freja.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

This brings back bad memories of my own terrible fifth grade leaf collection project… *shudders*

Ride around the Sunfield farm and surrounding area and collect flowers and leaves for Freja.

Rita!! You’ll NEVER believe what I just saw!!

Quest completed

______________

A Rustle in the Bushes…

freja_sunfield

I swear, I just sat and worked on my homework when I saw something moving over there by the bushes. Right there! I ran over to check out what it was, and make sure it wasn’t one of the hens escaping, but it definitely wasn’t a hen!

I didn’t see exactly what it was, it was too quick, but I’m pretty sure it was a snake or a lizard. It was beautiful in any case, I’ve never seen one like it before. Imagine if I found a new animal?!

Ohh, I wanna see it again! I want to know what it is!

Please, please, please, please, PLEEEEEEASE can you help me find it again? I promise that I’ll stay focused on my homework right through to the finish if I can just find out what it was.

Yay Rita! You’re the best! I think it vanished over there by the stones.

Objectives: Look for traces of the animal that Freja says she saw.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Search around near the stones behind the pig pen; the stones facing towards the ocean. Return to Freja when you have found a clue.

freja_sunfield

What have you found Rita?! What have you found?! Please let me see!

Quest completed

______________

A Mysterious Snakeskin

freja_sunfield

I know what that is! It’s a snakeskin! Can I hold it? Please, please, please, please, PLEEEEEEASE?! 

Wow!

Hey Rita, I have the best idea ever! I’ll take this to school so that I can show the teacher and all my friends! Just imagine how awesome everyone will think it is!

…

If a snakeskin is cool, then how amazing would it be to actually find the snake itself?! If I find the snake and write about it then my teacher must surely be super impressed! I’ll get the best grades ever and then mom and dad will definitely let me get MoonBreeze or RainbowSparkle! YAY!

But… How do you even find a snake?

Wow, what a good idea Rita! Talk to Amelia! She’s got to know something about it. Will you take the snakeskin to her?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOOOOUUU!

What luck that you dropped by and could help me out! What kind of snake was it you were talking about?

Quest completed

______________

Reptiles of Jorvik

amelia

Hmm… So Freja saw a snake and you found this snakeskin?

I can’t say what kind of snake it is just from looking at the skin, but it’s probably a grass snake of some kind. As far as I know there aren’t any snakes on the side of the island where the Sunfield farm is.

But hey, Freja can borrow some books from me which she can use to help her write about snakes. There are lots of snake facts in them! I’ve got plenty of really good books: “Snakes Alive!”, “From Frogs to Crocs”, or maybe this one here, “The Reptiles of Jorvik”. Freja is most welcome to borrow them all, since I’m not using any of them right now.

Maybe you’d like to take them to her for me?

Great! Good luck with the homework help!

Objectives: Take the books Amelia gave you back to Freja.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Quest completed

______________

Mosquito Net, Stapler, Check!

freja_sunfield

What did Amelia say then? Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, TELL MEEEE!

Why have you got like a million books with you?

Amelia thought we could find everything we needed to know in one of the books? Can I have a look then?

…

LOOK! There’s a chapter about how to build a snake strap! Imagine building one and catching the snake I saw?!

Please can you help me to build a snake trap? Please, please, please, please, PLEEEEASE?!

Yay!

Here it says that we need a mosquito net and a stapler. I know dad has bought loads of mosquito nets to make mosquito-proof windows with. He won’t miss it if we borrow just a little.

I’m sure there’s a stapler somewhere as well. Maybe it’s over by the mosquito nets? You can check!

Objectives: Get the mosquito net and the stapler for Freja so you can build a snake trap.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

Find both items near Filip; the mosquito net near the large tree, and the stapler behind the wagon next to the cow barn.

Return to Freja when you have found the supplies.

freja_sunfield

If I read out the instructions, you can build the trap! My teacher says I’m actually really good at reading aloud.

Quest completed

______________

Do You Want to Build a Snake Trap?

freja_sunfield

“Roll up the net into a cy… cylin… cylinder.” Okay, so you need to roll up the net and clip it together with the stapler.

“Use the rem… remain… remainder of the net to make a tri… triangu… triangular shape to form the entrance of the trap.” Okay, I’m not sure I understand everything but if we just make a start I’m sure it’ll work out.

Objectives: Build the snake trap then talk to Freja.

Do you want to build a snake trap? It doesn’t have to be a snowman. …I mean, ahem, what?

Dismount your horse and build the snake traps.

First place the net, then use the stapler to assemble the trap. Once the trap is built, click to pick it up. Build three traps then speak to Freja.

freja_sunfield

The trap is looking good! Probably the world’s best-looking snake trap, wouldn’t you say?

Quest completed

______________

Snake Traps, Check!

freja_sunfield

Casper, have you seen what a great trap me and Rita have made?

Now we need to set out the traps. Just imagine if we actually catch the snake? I’d be soooo happy! If you set up the traps, I’ll carry on with my homework, just like I promised.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOOOOUUUU!

Objectives: Set out the snake traps then talk to Freja.

Explore around near the area that you found the snakeskin to find good places to set out the traps. Dismount your horse to place the traps. Return to Freja when all the traps have been set.

freja_sunfield

I guess it’s just a case of waiting.

Sigh.

I should get on with my homework. Can you come back tomorrow and we can check if we’ve managed to catch the snake? Aaah, I hope so, I hope so, I hope sooooo!

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.)

Objectives: Bring the report to Herman. He’ll definitely want to see this!

A report from Ms Drake to the management of G.E.D?

Amazing! How did you manage that? Incredibly well done, Rita!

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.

Objectives: Ride to the Sunfield farm and speak to Filip.

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.

Aha. Jill sent you to help find them? Great! I can always rely on Jill.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Idun’s Night

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…

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.

You. You need to stop Isolde!

Hurry!

Objectives: Speak to Isolde before she speaks to Loke.

Hello Rita.

…

I just spoke to Saga.

…

She told me Loke just admitted to Filip that he stole the chickens. How could he do that to me?! I love him so! How can I continue living on after this?

Isolde Rides Home

How could he have done this to me! He’s been playing me all along!!!

Tristan is right! Loke’s a wretched, good-for-nothing who just cheats and tricks people all the time. I feel so stupid. 

I’m going back Rita, there is nothing left for me at the Sunfield farm.

Tell Loke we’re over, and that I’ll never want to see him again!

Objectives: Tell Loke that Isolde is breaking up.

Rewards: 150 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Yet again, we get to be the bringer of bad news…

loke_sunfield

Yes! It was me who stole the chickens! Isolde had nothing to do with it! It was just me!

I don’t want to speak any more. Go away!!

What? Why I placed her button on the ground? What was it about the button? It belonged to Isolde? What? It was her button?!

I don’t understand… What do you really want?

Isolde is breaking up with me? But… I did it for her… Oh no…

…

Why are you still here?! GO! Let me pine in peace!! Everything is your fault!

Quest completed

Return to Filip Sunfield tomorrow.
