Tyra has finished building the doghouse for Techno.

A House for the Dog

tyra

Hi! I’m ready with the doghouse now! I’m really happy with how it turned out, I think my old woodworking teacher would give me an A. Can you carry it with your horse and place it outside the riding arena? I’m so excited to see if Techno will like it!

Objectives: Place Techno’s new doghouse and see if he likes it.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Go down to the riding arena and place the doghouse near Techno, then return to Tyra.

tyra

Did he like it? Oh, I’m so happy! Many thanks, Rita. The riding arena will be safe from now on. The Baroness said she wanted to talk to you, by the way.

As Thanks for the Help

baroness

So nice seeing you again, Rita. I wanted to give you a small gift because you have been so kind and helpful t us at the Manor. Unfortunately I don’t have enough evidence to be able to catch Mr Kembell this time. But may God forgive this man if he tries to vandalize anything here again!

Objectives: Talk to the Baroness.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP, Techno’s Blanket

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

The Baroness will give you her gift.

baroness

Here is your gift Rita, it’s Techno’s favorite pattern. I hope you and Summerblaze will like it. Now I’m looking forward to some peace and quiet at the Manor.

Quest completed

It’s about darn time somebody asked about the South Iron Gate. Let’s go see the Council Man in Silverglade Village about it.

Why is the Gate Still Closed?

council_man

I’ll tell you, it is very strange… The gate to Goldenhills Valley is always opened in the spring. Every year around this tie Klaus, the mayor of Cape West Fishing Village, opens the gate. This has never happened before… I bet you would like to know why it is closed in the wintertime?

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

The Council Man will tell you more about the gate.

council_man

Well, the gate to Goldenhills Valley has always been closed in the winter because of the mystical snow ghosts and other dangerous winter spirits that rage through that area in the winter. By closing the gate we’ve managed to keep them from intruding in Silverglade. Those spirits are dangerous and can frighten both children and horses… So closing the gate every winter is very important.

Quest completed

______________

Reason for Opening the Gate

council_man

I’m not sure how we are going to manage it… Mayor Klaus locks and opens the gate with the Key to the City he always carries around his neck. You might have seen a painting of him in the castle at Silverglade? No? Ride to the castle and look at the painting. It is around to the right inside the door. Who knows… Maybe it will give you an idea for some solution to our problem. I’ll continue to try and find a solution here while you are away.

Objectives: Ride to Silverglade Castle and have a look at the painting of Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go inside the castle doors and turn to the right. The painting is on the wall next to the door.

quest-klaus_painting

self

“The painting shows Mayor Klaus in Goldenhills Valley. The Key to the City is hanging around his neck on a necklace.”

Quest completed

______________

A Fake Idea!

self

“…The Key to the City that opens the locked gate… Hmm… The painting is very detailed, someone could probably make a copy of the key if… If someone had a copy of the painting!

A photo! I’ll go and explain it to the Council Man!”

Objectives: Explain your idea to the Council Man in Silverglade.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Go back to the Council Man and tell him your idea.

council_man

So, your idea is that we take a photograph of the key in the painting that someone can use to make a copy of the key… And we can use that copy of the key to open the gate?

That is brilliant!

Quest completed

______________

Question of the Camera

council_man

You think you can borrow a camera from James to take a photo of the key in the painting in the castle? Ok, ride to Fort Pinta and ask the little guy!

Objectives: Ask James in Fort Pinta, if you can borrow his camera.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

No, I will demand James to give me his camera. The little whelp still owes me big time…

james

Hmmm… You want to borrow my camera?

Quest completed

______________

Key Photo

james

Ok, Rita. You can borrow my camera, just because it is you! But as soon as you are done with the camera please take it to Derek who is working at the post office in Silverglade. Derek also wanted to borrow the camera. I think he might even print out your photo for you! I’ve heard he has the equipment he needs to print out photos at the post office.

Objectives: Go take a photo of the painting in the castle. Leave the camera with Derek at Silverglade’s post office.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go back into the castle to take the picture. Then go to Derek in Silverglade Village.

derek

Aha! I finally get to borrow James’s camera! I’ll have you know I am an excellent photographer. Before I started work here at the post office I used to take pictures for a bunch of the big fashion magazines. Just so you know, it was me who took the first photos of Anne when she went to school in Jorvik. Aha… You want me to print out your photo?

Quest completed

______________

Printed Photo

derek

Of course I’ll print it for you! I’ll do it for free. We normally take 15 Jorvik Shillings per print. Zip! Now it is ready. What a great picture of a… huh… a painted key? So… interesting…

Objectives: Take the photo to the Council Man.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Well, gee, Derek, you don’t have to brag so much. It’s not very becoming of you…

council_man

That was fast. And what a great photo! I’ve been standing here thinking about who could possibly make a key with only a photo to go by… But I haven’t come up with anyone. We don’t have a locksmith here… Have you thought of anyone?

Quest completed

______________

Can You Forge a Key?

council_man

Aha! I didn’t think of that! You are right. Conrad Marsdeen in Moorland is a well-known master blacksmith. It was great that you thought of him. Take the photo with you and ask him if he could possibly forge us a copy of the key.

If all goes well I’ll wish you luck in Goldenhills Valley. Don’t forget to send my best wishes to Klaus when you ask him why he didn’t open the gate this year.

Objectives: Ask Conrad if he can forge a copy of the key in the photo.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillngs, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go to Moorland with your photo and ask for his help.

conrad_marsdeen

Rita! I haven’t seen you for a while. You are wondering if I can make you a copy of a key? The key to a city? Okay… The ends justifies the means. I’ll help you so that we can find out what has happened in Goldenhills Valley.

Quest completed

______________

More Iron Ore

conrad_marsdeen

I need iron ore to make you a new key. You already know that iron ore is in the Demascus Mine just southwest of here. Take my pickax and ride over to the mine to get me some. When you get back we’ll get started.

Objectives: Use the pickax in the Demascus Mine to chip out three chunks of Jorvik iron ore and come back to Conrad with them.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Keepers of Aideen

Well, off you go!

conrad_marsdeen

Wonderful! You have done this before so you are getting good at it now.

Quest completed

______________

A Little Blacksmith’s Apprentice

conrad_marsdeen

This might take a while, but if you help me, the first phase of the forging can go smoother. At least you’ll get to practice your smithing skills. Who knows, some day you might be a real blacksmith’s apprentice?

Listen here… Sometimes we need to work the iron on the anvil with the hammer and sometimes we’ll need to heat the iron in the forge with the tongs… And sometimes we’ll need to cool the iron in the bucket with the water.

I’ll tell you which thing we need to do and when. Timing is always important… If we get it wrong we’ll have to start over again. Remember you’ll need to get off your horse when we start forging. And put your horse a little distance off so we have room to work.

Here are the tongs and hammer. Get ready to use them.

Objectives: You need to get off your horse and help Conrad forge the key. Use the tongs and hammer to carry out his instructions. Be careful!

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Conrad will start counting down time. It’s best to keep your inventory window open for this next part.

He will give you three different instructions: heat the iron, work the iron, cool the iron.

Use the tongs on the forge and the water bucket, and use the hammer on the anvil. Use each tool before time runs out. If time does run out, you will have to start the work over again.

When you’re done, speak with Conrad again.

conrad_marsdeen

You were a great apprentice, I have to say. I’m sure you could be a great blacksmith someday if you try. Now I’m going to finish the work with the key and then the iron needs to rest until tomorrow to harden properly. Come back tomorrow and the key should be ready.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

The Council Man in Silverglade Village has news for you.

In Your Face Old Man!

council_man

Wait, one more thing… There is one more detail that I think needs your attention.

It has taken quite a while, but I have finally gotten the official indictment against G.E.D. The bosses of Jorvik want me to deliver the indictment to Mr Kembell, but I have a lot to do here in the city and I know how much you like to do things that drive Kembell crazy. What could possibly make him more angry than you delivering the indictment to him personally?

Mr Kembell is still glaring at his oil drills north of the Winery, you can find him there.

Objectives: Deliver the indictment against G.E.D. to Mr Kembell who is standing near the oil drills near the Winery.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

Ooh this should be good! Wait while I get my popcorn.

mr_kembell

Bah… You again… You crazy girl! Okay… I’ll read the document…

ARRGH!

______________

A Threatening Greeting

mr_kembell

Grrr… It says that Jorvik City is charging me with fraud in the tenancy agreement where they think they can prove I have been using stolen oil drilling equipment. Catastrophe and madness! This is all your fault! You win for now… I will run while I can this time. I have found new places I can exploit for their natural resources on this stupid island. And this new place is a long way away from you AND your stupid horse!

Let the Jorvik council know that this is far from over… And when I win in court I’m going to come back here and dynamite Silverglade right off the island! You might be too young to remember, check out what I did to Hill Crest…

This is not the last time you’ll see me Rita…

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

And the award for the biggest crybaby goes to…

council_man

Wow, that really got him going. Mr Kembell should remember his blood pressure! Ha ha ha! We’ll have to hope that Jorvik City has what they need to make the charges stick. Mr Kembell is a dangerous man when he is angry and has the law on his side. But it is great to get rid of him for a while. Thank you Rita for your help.

Hill Crest is a sad story… It was once a prosperous town in the mountains south of Moorland that G.E.D. turned into a big hole in the ground… A mess of a dig site for mining. Both the town and the mine have been abandoned for a long time. It was a terrible shame what happened there…
