Let’s go finish our horseshoes with Conrad.

Last Blacksmithing Day…

conrad_marsdeen

Hello Rita! Today is the last day of work on your new horseshoes. Listen carefully and follow my instructions. Are you ready to start?

Objectives: Use the tongs and the hammer to carry out the tasks Conrad gives you. Be careful and listen closely!

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP, Your Own Handmade Horseshoes

Reputation: 5 with Keepers of Aideen

This is the last time working with the horseshoes. Follow Conrad’s directions, then speak with him when you are finished.

conrad_marsdeen

Excellent work Rita! Now your horseshoes are ready. They are really the best quality and should make all the other riders green with envy. I can feel the energy in them all the way over here!

Rita, here you are. Your very own horseshoes… Made by you! You won’t find more powerful horseshoes than this anywhere on this side of Jorvik!

Quest completed

With that done, let’s go help Ydris with his tent.

Project: Circus Tent

ydris

Welcome back to my soon-to-be-ready carnival! The Fool is almost ready with the parts so now we can get started with putting up the tent! This is going to be a fantastic carnival… You’ll see! You are not going to regret helping us  out, I can promise you that. Ask the Fool for the things so we can get started. He will tell you what you need to do so we can get started. If he is really ready to go…

Objectives: Speak with the Fool.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Go and speak with the Jester about what needs to be done next.

jester

I’ve worked all night to get these poles ready. “Everything must be perfect,” says the great Ydris. Now they are perfect and ready to go.

Quest completed

______________

Put Up the Support Poles

ydris

Let’s get started! The three central, load-bearing poles need to be put up. They have to be solid as the whole circus tent will be hanging on them. Even the smallest problem could make the whole circus tent collapse… And that would be bad… I’ve heard about that happening. Here, take the masts and place them out on the field where they should go.

Objectives: Place the three tent poles on the field beside Ydris’s wagon.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Take the three poles and set them up in the indicated areas. Speak with Ydris when you are done.

ydris

That is looking good, even if those are actually masts… Are they stable? Let’s hope they are. Now we can go on to the next step.

Quest completed

______________

The Outer Poles

jester

Aha. Take these five outer poles and place them in a ring around the three center poles. Watch that they don’t give you splinters!

Objectives: Place the five poles in place in a circle around the large center poles.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Set up the poles, then speak with Ydris.

ydris

This is continuing to look promising. Let’s keep steaming! Not bad for a mere mortal.

Quest competed

______________

Tent Pegs

jester

Yes, now we have the five pegs to stake out in a ring around the ones you already put out. These are used to anchor and tighten the ropes. They need to be very secure so be sure to knock them in hard!

I’ll begin to attach the ropes…

Objectives: Place out the five pegs that will be used to anchor the ropes.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Put out the pegs in the indicated areas, then speak with Ydris.

ydris

You can almost imagine the circus now? Right? I hope they Fool attaches the ropes properly when you are gone… It doesn’t look promising.

Quest completed

______________

Flag on the Top!

ydris

While the Fool carries on wrestling with the ropes, maybe you can put up the three flags? Here, take the flags that you picked up from the tailor earlier and run the up the three large poles.

Objectives: Raise the flag on the three masts. They need to go all the way to the top!

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Approach each pole and click the arrow button on the screen to raise the flag. When you are done with all three flags, speak with Ydris.

ydris

Lovely. Stately. Magnificent! But… What is the Fool doing over there?!

Quest completed

______________

This is Embarrassing

ydris

Huh? Mamma mia! The Fool is stuck in the rope. This is embarrassing. I hope nobody sees this. He can’t seem to manage even my simplest requests. Sometimes I wonder if he does things like this only for the amusement of others. 

Objectives: Untangle the Fool.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Well, he is a fool…

quest-tangled_fool

Untangle the Fool from the ropes, then speak with Ydris.

ydris

Well. I don’t think anyone saw us. Now we’ll just try and forget it ever happened. That goes for you too, Fool. We are never going to speak about this again. No, you can’t make a fool of yourself even if you are a fool.

Quest completed

Return to Ydris tomorrow.

Let’s go see the tourists in Fort Pinta. They are having a crisis.

Gretchen is Missing

gunther

Guten tag, Rita. You have to help us! Gretchen is missing.

We do not know where she is. She was going to visit her friend Andy up by the sand pit in Firgrove. She was supposed to come home last night but she has not shown up… And hasn’t called either. You have to find her Rita. Speak with Andy, he must know where she is!

Objectives: Ask Andy by the sand pit in Firgrove where Gretchen is.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Fort Pinta

Ride to Firgrove and speak with Andy.

andy

Gretchen? She left here yesterday afternoon.

Quest completed

______________

To the Old Mine

andy

Is Gretchen missing? She promised me she would go straight home. I hope nothing has happened to her… She said she was going to take the road past the old mine near here on her way home. She was eating a bunch of caramels and was dropping the wrappers as she went… So you can probably just look for the wrappers to follow where she went. 

Hope you find her Rita. Good luck!

Objectives: Gretchen said she would have a look at the old mine before she went home. Start looking there.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Fort Pinta

Quest completed

______________

Ollie-Bear Doesn’t Want to Follow Us

gretchen

Yes, I know. I was on my way to Fort Pinta but I found some really exciting stones by the mine and I just had to check it out and then I was on my way down from the mine and there was a bulldozer and I really, really had to check that out and then I saw some cool tracks and followed them up and found Ollie-Bear. So then I went home with him and slept over and it was SOO nice. But he is still sleeping but now I should go home. Ride back and tell my parents I’m on my way soon. I’ll go straight home… I promise!

Objectives: Ride down to Fort Pinta and speak with Gretchen’s parents.

Day 50, Doing the Daily Lessons – Spoiler Alert

03 Monday Jun 2013

Posted by Maggie Oldcamp in Story Quests

≈ 21 Comments

Tags

antique nails from the old riders, call on your instructor, conrad, council man, donal, druid instructor, elizabeth, everything is ready for y, fifth lesson good running is better than bad fighting, first lesson track, fourth lesson mental training, james, jester, masts for poles, order in the country, permission is required, second lesson do not stand in the fire, sixth blacksmithing day, tent flags, tent help, tent poles, the fool fixes fast, third lesson catch the ball, ydris, your continued training

It’t time to start your druid training.

First Lesson: Track

elizabeth_sunbeam

The first lesson is to see if you have the ability to track me down by following the magical aura traces I leave behind as I go in various realities. I’m going to the place where we will hold most of our lessons in the future.

To find your way to me you will need to follow the magical green aura traces I leave behind. Don’t follow the purple wild goose trail I’m also putting out.

It’s a little like hide and seek. Count to one hundred and we’ll get started…

Objectives: Find Elizabeth by following the magical green and white aura traces she leaves behind…

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 65 with The Sun Circle

The green traces lead up behind Elizabeth’s house. Ride along with the cliff to your right. You’ll go up around and on top of the cliff. There will be a large paddock and white flowering trees.

elizabeth_sunbeam

I knew you would have an easy time finding me. You’ve been here before, haven’t you? Welcome to the mountain paddock. Here is where we normally hold the earliest lessons for our druids and Soul Riders.

Quest completed

______________

Second Lesson: Do Not Stand in the Fire!

elizabeth_sunbeam

It is never good to stand in a fire, as that would definitely hurt. Avoid the fire without leaving the training arena. When the exercise time is up, you have completed the task. Good luck!

Objectives: Avoid the fire in the training ring until the exercise time is finished.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 65 with The Sun Circle

It is better to ride at a slower pace, preferably canter. Keep moving so that you do not get burned by the fire. Red circles will show on the ground and if you are standing on one, you will have just a few seconds to move before the fire starts in the circle. If you find yourself without room to move between circles, you can jump over them. If you step in the fire, you will have to begin the exercise again. Avoid the fire while staying inside the training ring, until the time runs out, then speak with Elizabeth.

elizabeth_sunbeam

Well done Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Third Lesson: Catch the Ball

elizabeth_sunbeam

Precision and control are very important to druids and to Soul Riders. You are going to work at catching things. You need to catch ten balls before the exercise time is up. Good luck! You can do the exercise on your horse or on foot.

Objectives: Catch 10 balls before the time is up.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 70 with The Sun Circle

I prefer to do this one on foot. Green circles will appear on the ground. You will have a few seconds to make it to the circle before the ball reaches it. If the ball hits the ground before you get to the circle, you have lost it. The balls fall slowly and can eat up precious time, so plan your route to catch the balls quickly. If you do not catch ten of them before the exercise time is up, you will have to start again. When you have caught ten balls, speak to Elizabeth.

elizabeth_sunbeam

You did it! Not that hard, was it?

Quest completed

______________

Fourth Lesson: Mental Training

elizabeth_sunbeam

Sometimes it isn’t all about being fastest or strongest. For druids and Soul Riders it is just as important to be mentally strong. That is why we have this exercise to make you stronger mentally and to make you cunning.

I’m going to ask you a dozen questions. You need to get ten of them right to pass the exercise. This is where a lot of trainees fail, just so you know. You are not allowed to cheat and use the internet, you know. Are you ready to start?

Objectives: Answer Elizabeth’s questions. You need to get ten of the twelve questions right to complete the exercise.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 70 with The Sun Circle

The questions are very simple, so do not be afraid. Many of the are common sense questions or simple questions about the game world. They are either true or false, or have only two options to choose from. If you do not answer at least ten of the questions correctly, you will have to start again. When you have completed the exercise, speak to Elizabeth.

elizabeth_sunbeam

Tough questions, aren’t they? You did great!

Quest completed

______________

Fifth Lesson: Good Running is Better Than Bad Fighting

elizabeth_sunbeam

It isn’t always the best course of action to confront and fight an enemy. Sometimes it is much wiser to simply retreat. You are now going to be hunted by a Dark Seeker inside the training ring. Keep inside the ring and stay out of its reach until time is up. Don’t be afraid, the Dark Seeker is only an illusion for practice.

Objectives: Avoid the Dark Seeker but stay in the training ring. Keep free until the time runs out.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 70 with The Sun Circle

Stay outside of the boundary around the Dark Seekers. Be sure to keep well away from them, as you cannot jump over them as you did with the fire. They can reverse direction fairly quickly, so do not follow them too closely. Do not get in between them, either, as you can become trapped there when they overlap paths. When you have survived the lesson time, speak with Elizabeth.

elizabeth_sunbeam

Well done! It was close a couple times but you did great!

Quest completed

______________

Call on Your Instructor

elizabeth_sunbeam

Okay then Rita. I’ve introduced you to the first exercises for the Sun Circle. From now on I’ll be leaving the supervision of your exercises to another person. He is one of the druids and will be found here every day when you are going to train. 

Calling your instructor is easy. Just go up to the runestone here with the sun symbol and call for him. It will always work as long as you have exercises here to practice. Interact with the sun sign runestone to call your instructor. 

Objectives: Interact with the runestone with the sun symbol to call your instructor.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 35 with The Sun Circle

Click on the stone to interact with it. When you do so, your instructor will appear nearby.

faceless_druid

Greetings Rita! I’ve come to help you continue with your exercises. Elizabeth has said that you are a very promising young student. I am available every day to help you until you have reached “Liked” status with the Sun Circle.

Quest completed

______________

Your Continued Training

elizabeth_sunbeam

Alright then Rita. Good luck with your daily exercises. When you have Liked status with the Sun Circle, we can chat by my house in Valedale and we can find out if the Druid Council has figured out what to do next.

I’ll leave you here with your instructor. Don’t forget, you need to do these exercises as often as you can, if possible every day, until you are ready. We’ll see you soon!

Objectives: Speak with your instructor.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with The Sun Circle

Your instructor will tell you more about the training.

faceless_druid

Now let’s get started and get you Liked by the Sun Circle. You are getting prepared for your new knowledge of the secrets of the Keepers of Aideen.

Each day you may complete three lessons until you are done. 

Quest completed

The training lessons now become daily quests. You are not required to do them every day, but if you do so, you will achieve the required reputation faster.

Now let’s go speak with Conrad about working on the horseshoes again. One more day after this!

Sixth Blacksmithing Day

conrad_marsdeen

This is the second last blacksmithing day. Soon you will have the best horseshoes in Jorvik! Let’s get ready to work again, are you ready?

Objectives: Use the tongs and the hammer to carry out the tasks Conrad gives you. Be careful and listen closely!

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Keepers of Aideen

Follow Conrad’s instructions, then speak with him when you are finished.

conrad_marsdeen

Well done today. Tomorrow is the last day of blacksmithing! Now we let the iron rest the final night and tomorrow all we need is more nails… And not just any nails.

Quest completed

______________

Antique Nails of the Old Riders

conrad_marsdeen

Okay, now Rita. We need some more nails for your horseshoes. The best kind are not made anymore, the kind used by the old riders. No other nails will do as good as job as that kind will. You can find some of those nails along the beach by Mrs Holdsworth’s cottage. Ride over there and collect eight more nails from the same place you found them last time.

Objectives: Ride down to the beach south of Moorland, down from Mrs Holdsworth’s house and find eight nails for Conrad.

Rewards 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Keepers of Aideen

Go on the beach behind Mrs Holdsworth’s house and you’ll find the nails scattered along the beach. Collect eight of them, then return to Conrad.

conrad_marsdeen

Good Rita, now we have enough nails to do the job right!

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

The magician Ydris, up in Nilmer’s Highland, needs your help.

Tent Help

ydris

There you are again, human rider! Right on time to help me with a new miracle? I need help to put up a little tent. You helped me out before and you know that I rewards those who help me richly. Should I tell you more about the tent?

Objectives: Listen to Ydris if you are willing to consider helping him with the tent.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation 10 with Moorland Stable

Ydris will tell you more about what needs to be done about the tent.

ydris

Yes, I understand you probably think I am a bit strange and wonder where my loyalties truly lie. We got off to a bit of a bad start, but I promise this here is… Completely innocent… And you will be happy about the tent too. I can promise you will also get access to it.

Quest completed

______________

Permission is Required

ydris

There are a lot of things you need a permit for in Jorvik. If you plan on having a tent up for more than three days in the same place, you need to have permission from the owner of the land. The owner of the land we are on right now is Silverglade Village, so we will need a permit issued by the Council Man in Silverglade Village. 

So, are you in? Will you ask the Council Man about getting a permit for me?

Objectives: Ask the Council Man in Silverglade about a tent permit.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Ride to Silverglade Village and speak with the Council Man about getting a permit for Ydris.

council_man

Surely, I can give Ydris a permit for his tent. 

Quest completed

______________

Order in the Country

council_man

Hmm. Interesting. Ydris just moved into Nilmer’s Highland without asking, so if he actually wants a tent permit, he is welcome to have one. Here. A tent permit for a period of three years… That should be enough?

Objectives: Take the tent permit to Ydris.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Ride back to Ydris with the permit for his tent.

ydris

Thank you! Three years? Yes, that should be more than enough. Ha ha ha ha! It is important to have your papers in order. You want to be safe and secure so things go smoothly. Now the permit is in place at any rat and I can continue to set up my carnival.

Quest completed

______________

Tent Poles

ydris

I ordered some hefty tent poles from James some time ago, but I haven’t had them delivered to me. Could you ride over to James and ask where my tent poles are there? They are pretty big, so it would be hard for them to go missing…

Objectives: Ride over to Fort Pinta and ask James about the delivery of tent poles for Ydris.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Great, gotta deal with James again…

james

Eh…?

Ah… Of course. The tent poles.

Quest completed

______________

Masts for Poles

james

Ah… Well… Let me explain. Thee has been a bit of a mix-up here. You remember the poles that you used to fix Marley’s jumping course? Those were really Ydris’s tent poles that I sawed in half and painted to look like jump poles. Yes… I know that was probably a dumb thing to do… But I thought that Ydris had completely forgotten about them and wasn’t going to use them.

How can we fix this here? Hmm… Those were pretty big poles he had. Huge poles, really. I have a few masts for sailboats that are stacked right beside the stables. Take them to Ydris. They are almost as long as his tent poles were.

Eh… Yes! Say hello from me too!

Objectives: Collect three boat masts that are stacked beside the stables in Fort Pinta and take them to Ydris.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

With the masts on your horse, you will not be able to use the transporter trailer, so you will have to take them to Ydris yourself.

ydris

Masts?! He has sawed my tent poles in half and made horse jumps out of them? That little weasel is a piece of work. He should respect me, the Great Ydris, a lot more. A sneaky snake, that is what he is.

Hmm… But looking at it, these masts might just work perfectly! At least he had these that we can use.

Quest completed

______________

Tent Flags

ydris

And what is a tent without flags? I have ordered some flags from the tailor in Silverglade Village. Can you collect them when you are already in town asking about the tent permit?

Objectives: Pick up the flags made for Ydris at the tailor in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Ride to Silverglade Village and speak with Donald about getting the flags.

donald

Flags! Here are the flags!

Quest completed

______________

Everything is Ready for “Y”

donald

These were ordered a very long time ago so it is great to finally get rid of them. Now let’s see… It has to be these here. “Y” is written on this one. Have a good day!

Objectives: Take the flags from the tailor to Ydris.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Hopefully Ydris will be happy with these.

ydris

That tailor made us some really great flags. Thank you for delivering them. I bet you are wondering what kind of tent needs flags? You will get to find out soon enough… And I think you probably have a good idea already…

Quest completed

______________

The Fool Fixes Fast

ydris

There we go. We have a few things fixed up now. But we are going to need more tent poles We are missing the medium size poles and the pegs to anchor the ropes to the ground. My fool here says if you can get him five trees, he can prune them and get them ready to be used. 

While you were off fixing those other things for us, I borrowed an axe from Conrad. Here, take the axe and cut down five trees and deliver them to the fool. I’ve seen five dying trees in the gorge behind the wagon that nobody is going to miss if we cut them down. They should be exactly what we need. 

Objectives: Use the axe to cut down five dying trees from the gorge below Ydris’s wagon. Deliver the five cut trees to the fool.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

All of the trees are located in the gorge south of the meadow. You do not need to dismount your horse to use the axe. Once a tree is cut down, it will be stacked on your horse. When you have cut down all five of the trees, return to the fool.

jester

Thank you Rita! Now we can prune and strip these until they are perfect for the tent.

Quest completed

Return to Ydris tomorrow.

Circus?

linda

We better talk with Alex when she arrives tomorrow, and then we’ll know more whether there’ll be a council meeting or not. But guess what! I hear that a circus is coming to Moorland. Maybe you could check that out in the meantime? It was May in Moorland who told me this. Ask her about the details and where the circus is. Take a look and check if anything… hm… mysterious is going on there. I kinda have a feeling about it…

So, agreed? Check with May where the circus is and then we’ll meet back here tomorrow when Alex is back. Great!

Rita! Hi! If we miss you here in Moorland? Don’t worry, Rita. We have lots to do, but there are loads of newcomers here to help, so feel free to help Linda and the others as soon as you find Justin. I’m sure that’s what Thomas wants most of all right now. The circus?

Quest completed

______________

A Circus on the Highlands

may

So Linda told you I saw a circus? That’s right. Have you seen the wizard carriage up on Nilmer’s Highlands, west of the abandoned farm? It actually seems like they are setting up a full circus up there. I don’t know what they’re doing, but I’ve seen some people who were doing something.

Take a look up on Nilmer’s Highlands, Rita.

Objectives: Look for the circus on Nilmer’s Highlands, beyond the abandoned farm west of Moorland Stable.

You can follow the Bobcat Girls racetrack, and where you turn left to go behind the abandoned farm, go right instead, up into the meadow. The circus is there.

ydris

What do we have here? A small horse and her human rider? May I ask who you are and what you have done with my jester?

I am the great Ydris. I come to you with my extraordinary carnival and will give you wonders you have never seen before!

The Missing Jester

ydris

If there’ll be a circus here? Hah, you could say that… I’m trying to establish my carnival here on the hill! It will be something. We’ll have weird and funny people doing festive things! And I’ll do magic for you. I’ll do magic like you’ve never seen before. I come with miracles!

But now to more important things. You knew nothing about the jester, right…? He ran away. Can you help me find him? He can easily get lost, the stupid little jester. I heard his bells ring down the road here to the south. Perhaps he’s there, wandering about?

Objectives: Look for the jester who is lost down the road south of the magician Ydris.

Rewards: 21 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 0

The jester is just down the road, before the broken bridge.

jester

Ouch! What is this? Eh… One fourlegged and one twolegged. That’s six legs all together. Six thick thistle sticks! So, you have to be a horse and a rider, then? Right?

To Walk a Jester

jester

You think I’m weird? I think you’re weird… Has Mr Ydris the Great sent you? Well then, I’ll gladly follow you back to him. I am, as you can see, very lost. I think I’m a little stupid, you see. Mr Ydris says I am, and he’s always right. At least he claims he is.

Wait, don’t go too fast, because I can’t keep up. As you can see, I have very short legs..

Objectives: Ride with the jester to Ydris. Don’t go too fast, the jester is a bit slow…

Follow the jester back up to the meadow. Speak to Ydris when he makes it there.

ydris

Good work, horsewoman. I hope the little jester didn’t bore you too much. But he only talks gibberish anyway. What’s your name? Rita? Neat!

To Inspect the Emptiness

ydris

Thank you so much for helping me find the jester. Do you like animals? Maybe funny circus animals? Look in the cages and tel me what you think about them.

Objectives: Examine the three cages next to the magician Ydris and talk to him again.

Look in the three cages, then speak with Ydris when you are finished.

ydris

Empty? You’re kidding me? You see no animals at all in the cages? Hm… Interesting. But thanks for that. I promise you’ll see them another day… Maybe you can even have one and bring it home, but now you can’t get any when you can’t even see them. That would be a bit silly.

Find Five-Leaf Clovers

ydris

Well, Rita. The jester was looking for five-leaf clovers for me when he got lost. He can’t even deal with a simple task like that… I’m convinced you’re much better than he is. I myself cannot see them. Some problems with my eyes. There are lost of things I can see that no one else sees, but five-leaf clovers elude me.

To some, five-leaf clovers are easy to find if you just put your mind to it. I think you’re one of those people. Just close your eyes and count to five, and when you open your eyes again, you’ll easily find five-leaf clovers everywhere around here.

One, two, three, four, five…

Objectives: Look for five-leaf clovers for Ydris. There should be a lot of the here on Nilmer’s Highlands…

The clovers are scattered on the meadow behind the circus.

Return to Ydris when you have collected enough of them.

ydris

Oh! Incredible, Rita! Completely incredible… You’re no so bad at performing miracles, you know.

A Gift to a Mysterious Lady

ydris

Well, that small matter is done, then. But actually it’s not I who need these. Oh yes, I put one of them in my hat. Isn’t it nice!

Anyway, it’s a lovely lady who should have these. She waits at the gate in Cliffside Country, north of the riding hall… You and your fast horse may have time to deliver them to her?

Take the riding path behind the vineyard, ride to the south part of the Overlook Chasm, then down to the riding hall and follow the road north to get to the gate where the lady is waiting for you.

Objectives: Deliver the four five-leaf clovers to Pi, who is standing at the irongate, north of Silverglade riding hall in Cliffside Country below the Overlook Chasm.

Rewards: 21 Jorvik Shillings, 90 XP

Reputation: 0

Ride past the riding hall to get to the gate. It is directly behind where you helped the hedgehogs earlier. Pi is standing at the gate.

He-he-he! Little girl, I don’t think you realize what you’ve done. And that’s for the best, trust me. But thanks. See you again! Hahaha! Time to go, I have lots to prepare…

Tell Linda About the Circus

witch_pi

Bye, little girl! I don’t need you any more. For now. Hahaha!

Objectives: I think it’s best that you take me to the vineyard and tell Linda about this…

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 10 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back to the winery to tell Linda what has happened.

linda

So there was a circus there? Or carnival, as Ydris called it. They were a bit strange? And you had to help him find five-leaf clovers for a witch… It doesn’t sound so good. Five-leaf clovers are extremely rare and can only be found by very special people, and when they are given away, they gain additional magical properties.

There’s nothing to do about that now. Strange characters we have around here nowadays. It’s quite unusual for witches and mystical wizards to show themselves publicly.
