Who Recognizes Valiant?

Howdy Rita!

I’ve not slept a wink, I just lay there thinking about Butterfly and the Baroness.

Yawn.

I’m sorry Rita, but nobody’s been in touch about Valiant yet. Could you go to Silverglade Village and ask around if anyone’s heard or seen anything?

Thanks!

Objectives: Ask around Silverglade Village if anyone recognizes Valiant.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride to Silverglade and use the photo of Valiant on any of the residents. They will all say that they don’t recognize the horse but direct you to Steve, as he knows a lot about horses. Visit Steve at his farm to see if he knows Valiant.

Hey there! I recognize this horse! No idea what the poor thing is called, I don’t think he ever had a name, but I know his owner.

Quest completed

______________

Poor Horsey!

I can’t remember what the owner’s name is, it’s been forever since I last saw him. Not a nice guy. If you can stay away from him, it’s best to do so.

How he looks?

Hmm…

Let me think a second…

Last time I saw him he was pretty well built and had a brown mustache, but that was years ago.

Sigh. You really shouldn’t go looking for that guy, he’s really evil and it wouldn’t surprise me if he beat and abused the poor horsey…

Where’s the horse now?

With Marley? Whew, that’s a relief. Then the poor thing can get the chance to recover. I recommend he stays with Marley or some place else nice if he’s ever going to feel good again.

You should tell Marley this. The horse sounds like it’s in too bad condition to train…

Objective: Ride over and tell Marley what you found out.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Return to Marley and tell him what you learned from Steve.

Did Steve recognize Valiant? What could he tell you?

Quest completed

______________

Valiant the Packhorse

Oh…

The poor thing…

That didn’t sound too good. Poor old Valiant… I can’t believe people would do that! Gosh!

Hmm…

It’s not all strange that we can’t Valiant to jump or ride the barrel race, most things must frighten him… I wonder if he’s even ridden a jump track before?

We can’t send him back to whoever treated him like this, but I can’t know for sure if he’ll feel too good about living here with me, I’m not sure he’d enjoy dealing with all the visitors I get all the time. I’ll ask the Baroness if she’d like to have him at her yard instead.

…

Speaking of the Baroness… I need to talk to her today. Time to tell her about Butterfly…

Would you come with me Rita? I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it myself.

Thanks so much! I have a few things that need taking up to the Winery, so it’s probably just as well to take them with us at the same time, so I get to skip riding back again later. Not sure if I’ll be able to look the Baroness in the eye after this.

Can you help me load up the goods we’re taking onto Valiant. I’m way too nervous to do it myself.

Objectives: Load up Valiant, then talk to Marley.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Pick up the crates near the house, then place them from your inventory onto Valiant’s back, then speak to Marley when Valiant is ready to go.

Wow! You managed to load up Valiant with all the stuff we’re taking with us without any trouble. I’m impressed! You’ve really done a great job with him.

Quest completed

______________

Towards the Winery with a Heavy Load

Right then, I guess it’s time. Time to ride to the Winery. Sigh.

I really don’t want to do this, but I’ve got no choice. I need to tell the Baroness, it’s no use trying to put it off any longer. Thanks for coming with me.

Would you be able to take the last bit of the delivery on your horse’s back?

Thanks! We can just drop everything off with Carney. I’ll ride ahead and see you at the Winery.

Objectives: Take the shipment on Summerblaze to the Winery and leave it with Carney.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Pick up the second stack of crates and ride to the Winery. If you can, you can ride alongside Marley, but I got stuck and he left me behind. However you get there, meet Marley near his brother at the stable, and drop the crates nearby.

Ah, you managed to get Marley here with you? Hmph, I never thought that coward would show his face up here after he lost the Baroness’ horse.

Quest completed

______________

What Can a Car Tell Us?

Marley and I need to talk in private for a moment…

By the way, Mr Anwir is here now. You know, the guy who helped me with transporting Butterfly down to Marley just so he could go and lose him. That’s his car over there, the purple one. You were interested in talking to him, you said. Why not take the chance now, and you’ll see what an honorable guy he is.

You can check if he’s sitting in his car, otherwise you’ll have to wait until he gets back.

Objectives: Check if Mr Anwir is sitting in his car.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Investigate the purple car that is parked near the Manor building, facing towards the front gate.

Seems as though there’s nobody by the car and you decide to look in through the window. Wait, what’s that? Looks like a can of paint…? Horse papers in the back seat?! The horse on the papers seems a lot like Butterfly…

You wonder if you should open the car door, and just as you reach for the door handle, you hear footsteps behind you…

Quest completed

______________

Meet Mr Anwir

And who do we have here, snooping around my car?

Oh I see, not snooping, eh? No of course, well we’ll stick to that story then, shall we?

Yes, that’s right, my colleague Carl and I took a horse from here down to Marley Summer’s yard.

Umm, what are you implying? That the horse was swapped? Who’d do something like that? You don’t think it’s just that Marley who’s dippy enough to have mixed up the horses himself? According to his brother, he’s as dizzy as the day is long, and would lose his own head if it wasn’t screwed on…

Haha, probably a little exaggeration but that’s what Carney says…

Sorry, but I can’t help you. I hope you find the horse soon, but now I’ve got to get back to work. Lots to do before our boat comes to fetch us this evening.

Carl and I travel rather a lot. We usually set up camp down by the water, which is nice and practical, and plenty easy to get around. Easier to travel over water than over land if you ask me.

But yeah, anyway, good luck. I know it doesn’t help much, but here, take a few of these delicious clementines. Carl bough them even though I quite clearly asked for mandarins, the stupi– I mean, umm, they’re easy to mix up, I suppose. Haha. Ha.

Objectives: Talk to Mr Anwir.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP, 3 clementine oranges

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

There’s definitely something fishy about this guy…

Here you go. Good luck with the horse.

Quest completed

______________

Time to Stop a Telling-Off

Are you still here? I’m sorry that your horse has gone but I’ve already told you I don’t know anything about it.

Instead of hanging around here, you should check how things are going for your friend Marley, looks like he’s getting a proper telling-off over there. Carl and I have work to do.

Objectives: Talk to Marley.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride to Marley’s rescue. Poor man just can’t get a break.

Ugh. Carney’s really angry at me, and Valiant’s started acting out. I don’t know what the problem could be. Maybe he’s not too crazy about that purple car?

Quest completed

______________

Valiant’s Help

What’s up with Valiant? He was so relaxed earlier, but now he’s back to being as nervous as he was to begin with. Ever since I said hello to Carl or whatever his name is, the guy who helped Mr Anwir deliver Valiant…

What’s that? You think Carl is Valiant’s old owner? Hmm… The description Steve gave certainly fits…

Easy, Valiant, eeeeeasy boy… Shhh.

You saw black paint in the car?! And papers for a horse like Butterfly? Oh my… This isn’t good. We don’t have any proof though…

Eeeeeeasy Valiant!

Oh no! He’s bolted again!

Valiant! Come back! Oh gosh, he’s run off!

What does he want?

You think he wants to show us something?

Follow him quick Rita! I’ll try and keep Carly and Mr Anwir distracted while you’re gone. Hurry!

Objectives: Follow Valiant and be careful not to lose him.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Follow Valiant urgently, keep up with him and don’t lose sight of him. Find out what he wants to show you.

Valiant comes to a sudden stop. He seems to want to show you a particular place…

Quest completed

______________

Mr Anwir’s Camp

Valiant has led you to a camp, maybe it’s Mr Anwir and Carl’s?

You remember Mr Anwir said that he’d set up camp by the water. If you take a look around, you’ll surely find something that can help you connect Mr Anwir to the theft of Butterfly.

Objectives: Investigate Carl and Mr Anwir’s camp.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Take a look at the horse in the small paddock. Could this be what we were looking for…?

This horse looks familiar…

Quest completed

______________

Riding with a Warning

The color matches, the black markings match… Might this horse be Butterfly?

You feel along the horse’s back right leg, and just as you suspected, this really is the real Butterfly.

Butterfly goes up to Valiant right away and even though the horses have never met before, it seems as though they’re already best friends.

Butterfly follows Valiant, who leads him back to Marley’s farmyard. You don’t need to worry about the horses anymore.

You’ve found enough evidence to connect Mr Anwir and Carl to the theft of Butterfly. Ride and warn Marley and Carney up at the Winery, before Mr Anwir and Carl can get away.

Objectives: Ride back to the Winery and warn Marley and Carney.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride as quick as you can back to the Winery to tell Marley and Carney what you’ve found at the camp.

What happened? And where’s Valiant?

WHAT?!

You found Butterfly? You need to tell Carney. I’m sure he’d never listen to me.

Quest completed

______________

Stop That Car! Stop! Thief!

WHAT?! You mean Mr Anwir and Carl swapped Butterfly?

THIEVES!!

Grrr… And they wanted my brother to take the blame. Just wait ’til I get my hands on them!

Where are they now? They were just about to leave.

…

Over there! There by the car! Hurry Rita! We need to stop them!

Objectives: Follow Mr Anwir’s car.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Ride after Mr Anwir’s car and don’t lose sight of it. Follow it through the grape fields, through towards their camp and watch as Valiant runs in and makes the car swerve and crash into a tree.

What on earth do you think you’re doing, squirt?

Quest completed

______________

Dangerous Liaison

Have you seen what you’ve done to my car? You’ll get it for this!

Grr…

What do you think you’re gonna do? I don’t see any police or anyone else around here… It’s just us… Us and your two stupid horses. What are they gonna do to help you, huh?

The horse we swapped out with Butterfly is totally worthless, we’ve never seen a worse horse. That loser is too cowardly and weak to be able to do a thing about anything. Your stupid horse doesn’t seem much better, haha!

I haven’t got time for little nobodies like you, you idiot. Carl, take care of this little pest and her dumb horses. I’d prefer not to have the cops after me just because some snot-nosed little girl pokes around in things that don’t concern her.

Objectives: Hope that help comes soon…

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ugh, rude!! Once again, Valiant intervenes and comes to your rescue!

AAAH!! Get that scary horse away from me!

HELP?!?!

MR ANWIR!!

Where are you?!

Quest completed

______________

That Horse is Going to Eat Me!

I’m sorry! I’m sorry!! PLEASE get that scary horse away from me. I HATE horses! They’re shifty and unpredictable. If you don’t get him away from me, he’ll kill me! Aaaaah!!

Sniffle…

Please, I’m so, so sorry… That horse is going to eat me if you don’t get him away from me… Monster!

Sniffle…

Objectives: Calm Valiant down.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Pull yourself together man, you’re pathetic…

Work your magic with Valiant to assure him that you have the situation under control.

You manage to calm Valiant down. He doesn’t seem happy to be reunited with his old owner.

Quest completed

______________

Help’s Here

Valiant stares at Carl, his old owner. The fear he felt before has melted away, and all he can think about is protecting himself.

You can’t see where Mr Anwir got to, but Carl’s got no chance of escape. Valiant is watching him like a hawk.

Suddenly you hear both Marley and Carney shout behind you.

Objectives: Talk to Marley.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride up the hill to where Marley and Carney are standing, and explain to them what happened.

Rita! We followed after you as quickly as we could! How could you?

Quest completed

______________

The Rescue Arrives!

Are you okay Rita?

The police will be here any minute. They didn’t hurt you, did they?

Whew! What luck! I know that if anyone can deal with two crooks on their own, it’s you! And Valiant! He was so brave! You’ve really inspired him, Rita. You and Valiant really are the heroes of the hour!

Me and Carney can take over here. Could you ride to the Baroness and tell her that everything’s worked out alright? She’ll be very happy to hear you’ve not only saved Butterfly but also stopped the criminals!

Thanks so much for all your help Rita, you’ve truly saved the day!

Objectives: Talk to the Baroness.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Return to the Winery and tell the Baroness about everything that has happened.

Rita. Is everything well with you, child?

Carney and Marley raced off from here at full speed a short while ago. The only thing I understood was that you left ahead of them after those wretched men.

So you got the thieves, Rita?! Unbelievable!

When I gathered what had happened, I called the police right away while Carney and Marley hurried after you.

Quest completed

______________

One Captured, One Freed, One Big Thank You

Ugh… Who’d have thought I’d be a victim of a crime right here on my own property?!

I just spoke with Marley on the telephone. He says the police have arrested Carl, but that snake Mr Anwir has vanished without a trace. Mr Anwir and Carl planned to compete with Butterfly in races. Not that I know how they’d do it, unless they had a rider working with them…?

Anyway, enough about them. Marley told me about Valiant and we’ve decided that he can live here at my stables. I’m sure he’ll love it here with Butterfly.

All credit goes to you Rita! You saved Butterfly, and did all those wonderful things for Valiant!

Objectives: Talk to the Baroness.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP, Purple Winery Dress

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Another good deed done…

As a huge thank you for your help, I’d like to give you this dress. I hope you’ll like it.

Thank you ever so much!

Marley the Horse Trainer

Good day to you Rita, how lovely to see you again!

Thanks for asking, but sadly I’m a little troubled. My very best competition horse – Butterfly – has had an accident and picked up an injury on his back right leg.

It’s all healed up now, thank goodness, but now he needs to build up his muscle strength so that the injury doesn’t come back.

This is why I’ve sent Butterfly to Marley Summers.

Did you know that Marley used to train horses once upon a time? If there’s anyone who can help Butterfly, it’s him.

The thing that’s bothering me the most is that poor old Butterfly’s never going to be able to compete again. You see, Butterfly really loves to compete, and if he can’t race anymore, I’m worried it’ll break his heart…

Can you ride to Marley’s farm and see how it’s going for Butterfly?

You’ll do it? Nice! Thanks!

Objectives: Talk to Marley at his farm southeast of the Winery.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride to Marley’s farm and inquire how Butterfly is doing.

Howdy Rita!

Has the Baroness sent you?

Quest completed

______________

Meet Butterfly

Yeehaw! Can you imagine that little old me got asked to train a champion?!

Carney, my sourpuss brother, thinks I’ll mess up somehow, as if that’s what usually happens?!

I’ll show that little punk – after a week with me, Butterly’s gonna be in better shape than ever!

Of course it’s true! I’ve trained loads of horses in my time, back in the day. Haha! So Butterfly’s no challenge for me!

You can tell the Baroness that Butterfly is feeling just fine. Or, actually… There is one thing… Ah, never mind, it’s nothing worth mentioning. Why don’t you go say hello to Butterfly, Rita, and get an idea for yourself?

Objectives: Say hello to Butterfly.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Nice horsey?

Wooooooaaaaahhhh! Easy Butterfly! This is Rita, nobody to be afraid of!

Quest completed

______________

Nobody Ever Died from a Tiny Jump!

You saw what just happened! Do you agree that he seems a little… I’m not sure what word to use.

Nervous?

Yeah, exactly! Nervous is the right word.

I think it’s really strange that such a competitive racehorse should be nervous. Maybe it’s just all the new people and surroundings making him edgy? What do you think?

There’s another problem though… A big problem. I can’t get him to jump. He refuses point blank, but according to Carney, Butterfly is the best jumper in all of Silverglade.

I have an idea! Could you take a ride around the jump course with Summerblaze? Maybe then Butterfly’s competitive instinct will kick in?

You will?

Yeehaw! Come on Rita, show us what you can do!

Objectives: Take a spin around Marley’s jump course.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 Horse XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride Marley’s jump course, then speak to him after to see if it got Butterfly’s attention.

Yeehaw! Nicely ridden Rita! Now it’s your turn, Butterfly.

You can do this big guy, I know you can!

Quest completed

______________

What Scares a Horse?

Easy, Butterfly, eeeasy…

Shhh shh shhhhhh…

There we go, good boy…. Good boy!

Hmm. Well Rita, that didn’t go so well.

I just don’t get it. Do you understand Rita? Any idea why he refuses to jump?

You think he’s scared of something?

Hmm… Wonder what that could’ve been? I mean, it’s just a regular old paddock. I suppose it won’t hurt to look a little further into it. Ride over and take a look and see if there’s anything odd by the jump in the paddock.

I’ll wait here with this poor fella and keep him calm. He’s still a bit shaky.

Objectives: Check out the paddock then report back to Marley.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Inspect the paddock around the jumps to see if you can find anything that is scaring Butterfly.

You didn’t find anything?

Quest completed

______________

Yeehaw! Barrel Race!

That’s got me goosed… If there’s nothing in the paddock, then what’s getting Butterfly to react like he did?

What do you reckon? Any ideas?

If we should try something else to get him going? What could you mean?

The barrel race? Yeah! Great idea! Maybe we get started a little hard on poor old Butterfly…

…

For safety’s sake, would you not do a quick lap first? That way, Butterfly’s going to see that it’s nothing to be worried about.

Great! Go Rita! Yeehaw!

Objectives: Ride Marley’s barrel race.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 horse XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Let’s try out the barrel race instead…

Yeehaw! Nicely done, Rita!

What do you reckon then, Butterfly? Wanna show Marley what you can do, huh champ?

Quest completed

______________

Like the Wind!

Oh no! No, no, no!!

He’s bolted! If we don’t catch him quickly, he’ll be on the other side of Jorvik in no time!

How am I going to catch up to him? I can’t run after him, my fitness has never been top notch…

What? You’ll ride after him? Wow, thanks! But be careful, a spooked horse can be a dangerous horse. Try to calm him down first: that’s the only way to capture a frightened horse.

Come on Rita! Ride! Ride!!

Objectives: Catch up to Butterfly.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

Run after Butterfly to calm him down. He runs in a circle just outside the jump paddock of Marley’s farm.

You managed to catch up to Butterfly and get him to stop. He seems totally terrified, so take it nice and easy with him so you don’t make things any worse.

Quest completed

______________

Side by Side, Back to the Yard…

You calm Butterfly down and he begins to move in the direction of Marley’s yard. For safety’s sake, it’s best if you ride alongside him, as he’s still very frightened.

Objectives: Help Butterfly back to Marley.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Escort Butterfly back to Marley’s, stay close to him so that he continues moving in the direction of home. Speak to Marley when you have returned Butterfly.

Whew! That was close! Thanks for riding after Butterfly for me.

Quest completed

______________

A Scared Horse to Examine

Wheeew!

What a relief!

I was really worried that we’d never see Butterfly again, not at those speeds! What could I have said to the Baroness, “yeah, sorry about your horse… Lost him, didn’t I?” Haha! No thanks, lucky you were here Rita!

Wonder what made Butterfly bolt like that?

You’re right, Rita, something’s not quite right, but I’ve no idea what it could be. Any ideas?

You want to examine Butterfly, you say?

Well I suppose that’d be okay, not that I know why you’d do that, or what you’re expecting to find…

Objectives: Examine Butterfly.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse and approach Butterfly to examine him for anything wrong.

This is weird…

Quest completed

______________

Who Would Paint a Horse?

Didn’t the Baroness say that Butterfly had injured his back right leg in an accident?

You feel along Butterfly’s back right leg. The muscles feel strong and not weakened at all like the Baroness said. Weird…

Apart from the leg, there’s something else a bit strange about Butterfly’s temperament. You carefully try to pet his nose so that he feels safe, which seems to work so you just stand and cozy up to him for a little while.

Suddenly, your attention turns to Butterfly’s markings. There seems to be something strange about the way they look. You reach out your hand and touch one of them…

You’re not totally sure, but that seems an awful lot like it could be… Black paint. Has someone painted over Butterfly’s markings? Who would paint a horse? And why?

You need to tell Marley right away.

Objectives: Report your findings to Marley.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

There’s some strange business going on here…

What on earth?!

Quest completed

______________

Written Proof

You think the horse beside me isn’t the real Butterfly?!

…

That’s impossible… He came straight from the Baroness’ yard. Carney organized the transport himself, which is why this couldn’t be any other than the real Butterfly.

I’ve had my eye on him the entire time, it MUST be Butterfly.

I can’t believe it, Rita. I’m sorry but I just can’t accept it…

Of course!

Carney sent some of Butterfly’s papers to me. Where can I have put them?

They can help us get to the bottom of this. On the papers is all the information we’ll need to confirm whether or not this is Butterfly.

Now I just need to think!

I was out in the stable when the phone rang in the kitchen. Did I take the papers with me?

Rita, can you check over by the stable to see if the papers for Butterfly are there, and I’ll go check the kitchen? We need to find these papers, fast!

Objectives: Find Butterfly’s papers.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Search around Marley’s stable for the missing papers, then return to him when you have found them.

You found them? Were they by the stable?

______________

A Forged Horse

Okay, now let’s see what it says here about Butterfly.

Mm-hmm… Back leg… Yeah… Right… Yup… Markings… A-ha…

You were right, there’s something not quite right here… According to the papers from Carney, Butterfly should have weakened muscles in his back right leg, and this horse certainly doesn’t. Something’s up with Butterfly’s black markings as well…

Hmm… This both feels and smells like paint…

What could this mean? How can this have happened? How can this possibly be the wrong horse, when he came here straight from the Winery?

I need to call the Baroness! Or, wait. What would I say to her? Oh gosh, help me think, Rita, who should I talk to?

Carney?

Of course, you’re right. Carney maybe knows something, he was the one who arranged the transport after all.

What are we going to do with this horse though? If it’s not Butterfly, then who is it?

You’re right. One thing at a time. The most important thing is that we talk to my brother and find out what he knows.

Can you ride to the Winery and talk to him?

Thanks! While you do that, I’ll see if I can find some kind of clue as to who this horse is, or where he comes from…

Objectives: Talk to Carney who works up at the Winery.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Ride up to the Winery and speak to Carney near the stable. Maybe he will know something?

Hi Rita, I’d wish you a good day if I thought it was going to be one…

Clumsy Marley

WHAT?!

Marley’s lost the Baroness’ horse?!

That dopey dummy! Grr… I knew this would happen. He can’t do anything, and it’s always me who has to clean up his mess. He always messes up, and it’s always me left with the blame… Grr… No. NO! This time he can sort this out himself.

You say it’s not his fault? No joke? Whose fault is it then? The man in the moon?

How did that idiot manage to lose the Baroness’ horse? And, by the way, how do you know it’s not Butterfly?

No injury on the back leg, you say?

And no markings?

What could have happened? How am I supposed to know?! It’s that idiot Marley who’s mucked it all up.

There isn’t so much that COULD have happened. I should’ve driven Butterfly to Marley’s place yesterday, but I had too much to do so I got some help.

Who helped me? It was Mr Anwir.

He and his friend were here picking up things they were going to take to Silverglade Village. They offered to take Butterfly with them since Marley’s farm is on the way there.

Mr Anwir’s a good guy, so if anyone’s messed everything up, it’s Marley and nobody else. If he can’t keeps track of a horse, then it’s his own fault. Asking whether Marley’s messed up is like asking where bears poop in the woods. It’s obvious. You can tell him that from me, because I’m not taking the fall for his mess. He can come here himself and tell the Baroness that he’s lost her best racehorse.

Why are you still here? I’m so angry right now… Ride and tell Marley that he’s useless and that it’s his responsibility to fix it.

Objectives: Tell Marley what Carney told you.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

You self-righteous bastard, so much for brotherly love…

Return to Marley with your sympathy.

Did you get hold of Carney? Did he have anything to tell you?

Quest completed

______________

What Should He Be Called?

Of course… Everything’s my fault according to that dimwit. Who else’s fault would it be? The man in the moon?

Sigh.

Well maybe he’s right… I should’ve had a closer eye on it all, I should’ve been more careful.

I need to think about this. The real Butterfly can’t have just gone up in smoke… And who’s this horse if it isn’t Butterfly?

Anyway, we can’t keep calling him Butterfly. We need a new name for him. Any ideas on what this guy should be called, Rita?

Objectives: Talk to Marley.

Come up with a good name for this new horse.

Valiant?

Well… Why not? Valiant it is.

Quest completed

______________

Who’s Valiant?

Valiant… I like it! Howdy Valiant!

Hmm… I should talk to the Baroness as soon as possible… Oohhh I just don’t think I can face up to it today. I’ve no idea what I would say…

You say it’s not my fault? That’s nice of you Rita, but Butterfly was and is my responsibility. My brother was right… I’ve mucked it all up. This is my responsibility.

I haven’t got time to feel sorry for myself though. I’ll need to sit down and have a good think about what I’m going to say to the Baroness. While I take care of this mess, would you help me find out where Valiant comes from?

If we put up ‘missing horse’ posters for him, perhaps we’ll get some info on where he’s from. Maybe even find out more about where the real Butterfly has got to.

I took a few pictures of Valiant while you were away talking to my brother. Would you be able to take these and make five posters we can put up around Silverglade?

Great, thanks!

There’s some paper you can use over by the picnic table just here.

Thanks for helping, Rita. I wouldn’t be able to do it on my own.

Objectives: Make five ‘missing horse’ posters asking if anyone knows Valiant, then talk to Marley.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse and use the marker to make the posters, then show Marley your finished work.

Oh, these are great! They should work nicely.

Posting Posters in Silverglade

Will you take these posters and put them up in Silverglade Village?

Hopefully there’s someone who gets in touch about Valiant. If we’re lucky, we’ll also find something out about Butterfly.

Objectives: Put up the ‘missing horse’ posters in Silverglade Village

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride into Silverglade and place the posters up in places people will be able to easily see them, then return to Marley when all the posters have been put up.

You put them all up? Great! Hope someone gets in touch before long.

Quest completed

______________

The Way to a Horse’s Heart…

I feel bad for Valiant. He must’ve been through something terrible to have become that nervous and scared.

But he seems to trust you Rita. You seem to have a special way with horses. They seem to let you get closer to them in a way that not very many people manage, I mean just look at you and Summerblaze together.

Would you be able to help me with Valiant? I need to get to the bottom of this mess with Butterfly…

Thanks Rita! Whoever Valiant is, he needs to be able to trust humans again. He certainly doesn’t seem to trust me, so I guess it’s better that you train him.

The first step is getting to know one another. Would you be able to feed him? The way to a horse’s heart is through his stomach, or however the saying goes… Haha! Everyone likes good food anyway!

Hey, I just remembered I accidentally flipped a crate of apples over earlier today. I’ve had so much going on that I’d managed to forget to pick them all up. Could you gather them all back into their box so that they’re not just lying on the ground going rotten?

Great! We can give some of the apples to Valiant afterwards, I’m sure he’ll love them. He’s a horse after all, and all horses love an apple!

Objectives: Pick up the apples from the ground behind the house and give them back to Marley.

Quicker apple picker-upper

Oh! I didn’t realize there were that many apples!

Quest completed

______________

Not Tasting Great…

Oh my, this is far too many apples for a horse to eat! Not that I think Valiant would say no, but he can’t eat himself full on candy! That’ll mean he’ll lose his proper appetite for normal food later.

Let’s do it this way, so it’s fair. If you take these three apples and give them to Valiant, I’ll take the rest to the other horses so they get a treat as well.

Sounds good?

Great!

Objectives: Give the apples to Valiant then talk to Marley.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Dismount and feed the apples to Valiant to gain more of his trust. Speak to Marley when you have fed all the apples.

There you go! Valiant seems to like the apples! I knew he wouldn’t say no…

Quest completed

______________

Step by Step

Looks like Valiant is becoming more and more trusting towards you.

I don’t know if it’s too early, but I have an idea that I think is worth a try. Remember how badly it when Valiant was going to give the barrel race? I reckon you could get him to do it now.

You don’t need to look so worried, let me finish my idea… You’ve taught Valiant to take the apple from your hand. Use that trick to get him to follow you around the course. Once he goes all the way around, he’ll see that there’s nothing to worry about.

Here, take a few sugar lumps and show Valiant the way around the barrel race course. I know you can do it Rita! Yeehaw!

Objectives: Bribe Valiant with sugar lumps to get him around the barrel race course, then speak with Marley.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

Ride near Valiant and give him a sugar lump when he stops. Lead him through the course, then return to Marley when you have completed the course.

Yeehaw! I’ve stood and watched the whole time, what a great job Rita! Wow! I think it’s time to start calling you Rita the horse whisperer!

Quest completed

______________

Well-Earned Grooming

Yeehaw! Unbelievable! How fantastic that you managed to get Valiant to follow you around the entire course! I can already see the difference in him. He’s much calmer and way less nervous than before, and it’s all thanks to you Rita.

Will you go and give him some nice grooming and scrape out his hooves as well? Here, take my hoof pick and my regular grooming brush. Valiant’s done a great job and deserves a little TLC! I’ sure he’d rather you do it than me.

Objectives: Groom Valiant then talk to Marley.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse and approach Valiant to use the grooming tools. The sparkles are very close together, if you have trouble using the tools, click on the sparkles first and it will tell you which tool to use in that spot.

When you are finished grooming Valiant, speak to Marley.

Are you all done with the grooming now? Great! Now we’ll let Valiant rest a little while so that it’s not all to much for him at one time.

Quest completed

Return to Marley tomorrow.

Finished and Delivered

Good day, Rita. All the deliveries have been made, they’re over there.

Can you help me open them and check if everything is in order? I don’t dare look by myself. What if they only contain rubbish? Then everything will be ruined…

Okay. I won’t take the sorrows in advance. You’re right! Let’s just open those deliveries and take a look!

Later I can cry in desperation, but not now!

I’m ready, Rita! Open all crates and barrels!

Objectives: Open and inspect the deliveries.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Open the boxes dropped around the water fountain, then return to Karl.

Okay, breathe. It doesn’t look half bad. The tables and chairs aren’t like I imagined, but they’re amazingly well-crafted. The cushions and table cloth… Not awesome, but I can live with it. The china and the decorations…

I guess I can use some of the chinaware… I’ll ask the Baroness if I can borrow some things from her to decorate the restaurant.

Quest completed

______________

Let’s Take the Stairs Up to the Roof

Ah, what a lovely day! Finally everything is in place. Only the small details lack before we can open the Silver Fork Restaurant!

Rita, dearest. Follow me. We’re going up on the roof of the main building, where I will show you where the guests will be seated while enjoying my dishes. Just walk up the stairs behind me.

Hurry!

Objectives: Meet Karl Franz on the roof of the vineyard’s main building.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Dismount your horse to walk up the stairs behind where Karl was standing. Click on the blue sparkles to go up to the roof.

It wasn’t too hard for you taking the stairs, right? Look at this vista! This will be fantastic!

Quest completed

______________

The Guests Need Some Place to Sit

Could you assemble the tables and chairs for me, Rita? It’s a bit complicated, and I’m not very technical.

You can? I’m very impressed with your knowledge, Rita. This would never have worked if it wasn’t for you. Just grab the boxes with the tables and assemble them all around here.

Objectives: Assemble tables and chairs at the vineyard.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Open your inventory and place a box on each indicated area around the rooftop. Return to Karl when you are finished.

Look how nice it turned out. Many thanks, Rita.

Quest completed

______________

The Little Extra

The only thing missing is placing out all cushions, table cloth, and other decorations, and the restaurant will look smashing! Can you help me, Rita? Thanks. Just place out everything around here somewhere.

Objectives: Place out cushions and table cloth in the vineyard restaurant.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Go around to all the tables and place the decorations. Return to Karl when you are done.

Oh, look how nice it’s becoming, Rita! I’ll check if the Baroness can lend me some niceties to place out as well, but this is starting to feel like a real restaurant.

Quest completed

The Last Piece of the Restaurant Puzzle

Magnificent, Rita! Everything is in order. We can open now, right? Lovely!

What? If I’ve forgotten something? Let’s see… My notes have not been in order since they blew away, but I think we’re good. What did you have in mind?

Food? What about food?

…

FOOD! Where’s the chef?! I’ve completely forgotten the chef! Aw, what am I to do, Rita? How am I going to find a chef here?! A chef who masters real continental cuisine?

Carney? Who’s that? He’s got a reputation as a good cook? I guess I don’t have a choice… Can you ask him? Thanks. Sigh. What’s the end of this…

Objectives: Ask Carney if he’d like to work as a chef in Karl Franz’s restaurant.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Take the stairs back down and speak to Carney near the stable.

Chef? Why would I want to work as a chef?

Quest completed

______________

My Brother Might Want to Change Course in Life

Yes, I’m fairly good at cooking, not the best in the family, but good enough to work at a restaurant. But I don’t cook to order, so to work as a chef? Bah! No way!

You should talk to my brother Barney. He might have gone tired working as a farmer.

Work as a cook… My father would spin in his grave. It’s only been eight years since he died, but if he saw me in a kitchen at a restaurant he would’ve died of a heart attack much sooner.

Barney might not be interested, but he can cook. Ask him if you’re set on finding a chef.

Bye.

Objectives: Ride and speak to Barney.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Ride to Barney by his silo and ask him if he would like to become a chef.

Hi, Rita. What are you doing out here? Become a chef? Me?

Quest completed

______________

The Next Brother is Even Better At Cooking

Sure I’m better than Carney at cooking, everyone says so. But becoming a chef is not something that interests me.

You should speak to my brother Marley. He’s even a better cook than me. He and our father always used to cook together back in the day. He lost interest in it fifteen years ago when our father died, but maybe he’s heard the call again?

Ride and speak to him. It’s worth a try.

Objectives: Ride and speak to Marley, brother of Barney and Carney.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Maybe this brother will take the offer?

Hi there. If I want to become a chef?

Quest completed

______________

More Cooks in the Family?

Sigh. No, cooking isn’t for me. It used to be my dream when I was younger, to work with food full time, but since my father died last year, I’ve completely lost interest. From time to time when I do make something, everyone tells me it tastes fantastic, but I’d never be happy working in a kitchen.

And you’ve asked Carney as well? Thought so. He’s probably the worst in our family at cooking though.

And Courtney, what did she say?

Who Courtney is? She’s the best cook in the family! Haven’t you asked her yet?

What?

Courtney! My sister of course! She lives over at Silverglade Village. She’s amazing in the kitchen and has always dreamed about becoming a chef.

Don’t just stand there! Ride to Silverglade Village and speak to her at once!

Later!

Objectives: Ride to Silverglade Village and locate Courtney, Marley’s sister.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Courtney’s house can be found up across the street from the well and the notary. Knock on her door to see if you can ask her about becoming a chef.

Oh, I think I’ gonna faint! What a cute horse! Teehee!

Quest completed

______________

Finally a Potential Chef

Work as a chef at a restaurant?

That sounds exciting! I have both talent and education for it. Everyone tells me my food is heavenly, it would be absolutely fabulous to be able to work with it full time.

So you’ll be running this restaurant? No?

Hmmmph!

Sending a helper instead of coming himself? Who is this person I’m supposed to work for?

Karl Franz of Silver Fork… He sounds exquisite, but apparently he has much to learn about etiquette and sense. Sending his helper to woo a fine lady like myself. Tell him I have my dignity to consider. I could never work for a buffoon like him.

Tell him that!

Ciao!

Objectives: Ride back to Karl Franz with the bad news.

Well, that didn’t go as planned…

You found a chef?! Magnificent!

Why do you look so defeated? She didn’t want to? She thinks I’m a buffoon?!

Quest completed

______________

Charming Fine Ladies

Alright. Challenge accepted.

I need your help in this, Rita. When courting a fine lady, one always needs to bring a gift. This is very important!

Pick a bouquet containing the finest flowers from around here and give them to her alongside my utmost apologies. That’s proper greeting protocol, etiquette and all.

Objectives: Pick flowers and give them to Courtney in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Ride around the outside of the Manor property and pick several flowers, then deliver them to Courtney.

Oh, what a lovely bouquet! Thank you.

But this isn’t enough… Is he clueless on how to court a lady?

Quest completed

______________

Unsuccessful Etiquette

I thought this Karl Franz was a gentleman, but he appears to just be a bluff. Flowers would have been correct at our first meeting, but since this is meeting number two and he’s already made a horrible etiquette blunder, this will simply not suffice.

Tell that buffoon that he’ll get one more chance, not a single one more. And this time I want something really good.

Ciao!

Objectives: Ride back to Karl Franz and tell him Courtney wants something nicer.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Somebody is a little full of themselves now, aren’t they?

It went well? No?!

She’s not content with flowers? She called it a horrible etiquette blunder?!

Quest completed

______________

A Gift That Says It All

Alright then. We’ll have to give her the finest give we have.

In the wine cellar there’s a bottle of Chateau Silverglade 1894. It’s extremely expensive and there’s only one bottle left in existence. The Baroness gave it to me as a present for my baptizing and it’s been safe and secure in her wine cellar my whole life.

Fetch that bottle. It’s the finest possession I own. The door to the cellar is at the far end of the vineyard.

Return to me after.

Objectives: Fetch the wine bottle in the vineyard cellar and return to Karl Franz.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

The bottle can be found in the first room at the bottom of the steps; the same room the G.E.D. Trainee accidentally drilled into, some time ago.

Pick up the bottle then return to the rooftop.

Careful! It’s very precious. It hurts my soul deeply to give it away, but it’s worth it to be able to open the restaurant.

Quest completed

______________

The Finest of Presents to the Pickiest of Women

Oh, I really don’t want to do this! But it’s more important to open my restaurant. Take the bottle. Be very careful as you carry it, give it to Courtney as a present. Tell her it was a present for my baptizing, how valuable it is, and how much it means to me. To give her this bottle is to give away part of my soul. That’s how much it means.

Ride now, Rita. We must make a hasty goodbye before I start crying.

Objectives: Give the wine to Courtney in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputations: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Maybe this will be enough to win her over?

A bottle of wine?

Quest completed

______________

Tell Franz It’s Not Enough

Chateau Silverglade 1894. The best of all vintages. I thought it was just a legend…

But no. I appreciate the gesture, but you simply don’t give wine to a lady. Who does he think I am? You tell me it was the most precious thing he owned? Be that is as it may, but you don’t give wine to a lady on the third meet. Maybe the first, maybe the second, maybe the fourth. But on the third, there is only one correct gift, and that is chocolate! Everyone knows that!

So. Tell Karl Franz of the Silver Fork I thank him for his gift, but I have decided to decline his offer of employment. I can’t work for someone who doesn’t know anything about sense and etiquette.

Ciao, Rita!

Objectives: Ride back to Karl Franz with the bad news.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

I’m a lady and I don’t care what meeting it is. You can always give me wine…

How did it go, Rita? When will she come?

What?! She won’t?! I gave her a bottle of wine on the third meet and no chocolate? Noooooo!! How could I forget the simplest of all rules!

Quest completed

______________

Correct Etiquette in Every Way

Alright. Let me ride and speak to this “lady.” Who does she think I am?!

I’m Karl Franz of Silver Fork! No one can behave this way towards me and get away with it!

Rita, meet me in Silverglade Village. Where is it, by the way? Ah. I see. I’ll meet you there!

Objectives: Meet Karl Franz in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Hmm, maybe that was her plan all along, to see what it takes to get a rise out of him, what brings out the spunk and rage. We all love passionate men…

Rita. Pleas show me where this “lady” holds residence. I’ll confront her and tell her exactly what I think!

I want half the restaurant, authority on what to put on the menu, flexible work hours, free health care, child care, shoe care, free coffee, my portrait on the restaurant sign, a new dress, corporate bonuses, and a company car.

Nothing more. Is that okay with you, Franzy-boy? Teehee.

A Restaurant Date on the Vineyard

Rita, dearest, meet us at the vineyard. We must hurry. I have to show Courtney, rose of Silverglade, my humble restaurant.

Meet us there!

Ah, there you are, Rita. I’m just showing Courtney the place.

Quest completed

______________

Place the Sign

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. This isn’t so bad. We’ll have to do a few conceptual changes to make it fit here in Silverglade, but I’ll take care of that.

Listen to me, Karl Franz. This menu… It doesn’t work. Quail, foie gras and fine cheeses may sell on the continent, but here in Silverglade you’ll need a different kind of dishes. I’ll rewrite the menu. Don’t worry, snookums. It’ll be perfect in the end, just you wait and see.

Karl Franz, dearest. I was sifting through the invoices and noticed a very expensive one from James in Fort Pinta. Fifty thousand Jorvik Shilling for a couple of plastic buckets and old junk? What were you thinking? Don’t worry, I’ll speak to him. I’ll show that petty rascal!

Rita. Quit dillydallying and help out a little. Here’s a sign with the new menu. Go over there and put it up. Then we can open.

Oh, if only my father could see me now. Restaurant owner. Little me! Sigh.

You’re sad? Whatever for? He’s what?! DEAD?!

Who told you that?

My brothers… They aren’t quite right in the head. My father’s alive, I spoke to him last week. Or… Was it last year…? Anyway, he’s not dead. In fact, he’s never been better! You can’t kill off Ronnie Bob Summers that easily!

Now place the sign so we can open!

Objectives: Place the sign and speak to Karl Franz.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Go back to the ground level and place the sign near the stairs. Then return to the rooftop.

Rita, dearest, thank you for all you’ve done. You’ll be our guest of honor any time you return! Now we open. I’m so happy! You found Courtney for me, this amazing woman, can you believe it?

I have to go to work. Apparently I’ve forgotten to hire a waiter, so Courtney told me I should do it for now. She’s sharp as a stick, that one. Oh, she’s wonderful…

The Silver Fork Opens Its Gates

Everything’s ready. Let’s open the restaurant.

Welcome to the Silver Fork Restaurant, Rita!

Thank you for everything. And, after all the discussions we’ve had about gifts, it would be highly inappropriate, if not even impolite, not to give you one as reward for your help.

Here. A perfect gift according to all rules of etiquette and protocol. As reward for pairing two sweethearts and helping realize someone’s dream, I hereby and according to tradition, present you with a diamond necklace!

Objectives: Speak to Courtney.

Gasp! How dare you?! That is completely the wrong gift, what a horrible blunder to make!

Oh, wait. Forgive me, I’m turning all red here. That’s according to etiquette the gift for having helped someone carry a heavy bag on a Saturday!

Forgive me, how could I make such a mistake… Everyone knows this…

Here’s your gift! Of course you’ll get a cap for your help! A diamond necklace, forgive me again, I’m so ashamed. It would have been incredibly rude of me to give you a diamond necklace when you were supposed to have a cap.

Here you go!

You’re always welcome here Rita, you know that. Ciao!

You can now visit the Silver Fork whenever you want. It functions just like any of the other cafes on the island. Sit at a table and see what they have to offer!

Mario has a little endeavor he would like help with. Speak with him at the Observatory.

A Real Star Stone

Allo Rita! You know what? The stock has arrived for my very own store! Now it is only a question of who is going to work in it…

I have gotten in a lot of applications… But I have picked out three final candidates. But, I can’t decide on which one I should pick… They all look so good. Can you ride around and meet them and let me know which one you like the best?

Objectives: Speak with Mario again.

Tell Mario that you will happily help him out.

You can? Wow, I’m lucky to know you! Now listen here…

Quest completed

______________

Star Candidate Number 1

The first candidate for the job is… I don’t really know what he is called… He has just signed his application with “#357.”

He looks very good anyways and you can find him in Moorland by the Dark Core landing place. Go there and interview him and see if he would be good for the job.

Objectives: Speak with #357 by the Dark Core landing place in Moorland.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

#357 can be found hanging around near the loading containers on the beach behind Mrs Holdsworth’s house.

What are you looking at?

Quest completed

______________

Candidate from Dark Core

…Run a store in the Observatory… I am perfect for that…

…I’m good with people… You get it?

Why am I good for the job? What? Don’t you trust me? Are you calling me a liar?

…Okay… Okay… You seem nice, I know you didn’t mean that, I get it.

Okay. I’d be good for the job because I like stars, and if anyone tries to steal anything I’ll just throw them off the cliff… So Mario doesn’t have to worry about anyone taking his stuff. You get it? I really like planets and stars and stuff, so I would be perfect for the job.

Tell Mario I’ll see him up at the Observatory when he gives me the job.

Objectives: Ride back to Mario and tell him about Candidate #357.

Star Candidate Number 2

Candidate number two looks really promising, I have to say. It is a young girl, but she seems very competent and mature in her letter. In her photo she looks like she couldn’t be more than sixteen… But that doesn’t mean she can’t take responsibility for her store, does it?

Her name is Julie and she lives in Firgrove, at any rate. Ride over there and interview her and see if she might be the right person to run my store.

Objectives: Ride to Firgrove and speak with Julie.

Julie can be found near the house behind the horses for sale in Firgrove.

Julie? Yes, that is me. Young?

Quest completed

______________

Candidate from Firgrove

I would be perfect for running the store at the Observatory! I am organized, mature, and good at climbing which would be useful if the gondola lift is ever out of service.

What have I worked with before? I was a mountain climber. I was the first person to climb to the top of the Garnok volcano in 1984, if you didn’t already know!

Mountain climbing and running a store are not really related? My dear… They are almost the exact same thing! Both require you to be prepared for anything and to never take your eye off the mountain!… Or the customer in the store anyways.

Ride over to Mario and let him know I would do a great job running his store.

Objectives: Ride back to Mario and tell him about Julie.

Surprise for a Star

Allo Rita! You have helped me a lot with the Observatory. You have helped me so much that I have had some time to do something else for once!

Hello Rita. Wow, have I been working hard! I’ve done a really big cleanup here! Now I just need to dispose of all this old scrap that I have piled together.

I ordered a container, but as usual, they didn’t manage to drive it all the way up here so it has been left down by North Link. If you could take the heaviest things down on horseback to the Gondola lift station, then I can take care of them from there.

You can do that for me? You are so kind!

Attention! I like it when things are organized and in proper order, so we are going to do this in an organized and structured manner. I have constructed a list of what you will need to do.

Go go go!

Objectives: Look for the rabbits in the bushes and grass in Fort Pinta. Report back to the guard when you have found them all.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

There is one rabbit by the Pet Shop entrance, one near the fort wall by the bridge, one next to the transport van, one near the stable, and one in the bushes behind the disco clothes shop.

REPORT!

All the rabbits caught and accounted for? Excellent work!

Quest completed

Runaway Cats

Hrmph…

POINT THREE! Find the kittens!

Five kittens have deserted their posts at the base… err… I should say Pet Store. The runaways should be in Fort Pinta. Those little kittens are sneaky and easily able to get behind enemy lines… So they will be difficult to find.

Objectives: Ride back to Marley with the amazing new barrels.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

So amazing! Marley should be happy to see these fixed…

Where have you been? How could it have taken so long to repair a couple of barrels?

Oh. The blacksmith has worked day and night to make me new barrels that should last hundreds of years. Uh oh. I wonder what the bill is going to be… I only wanted him to switch out a few boards…

Quest completed

______________

Build the Course

While you were gone I read the rulebook on exactly how barrel racing should be done. Behind my house I have marked off on the field exactly where the barrels should be. So, you only need to ride over and put them down in the right place. Then we just need to test it out!

Objectives: Place the barrels at the marked places.

My Brother the Inspector

Ok… Now we need to inspect the course. Can you ride over to my brother Carney and ask him to come over and inspect the course? I know, I know… It is awful not to even try it once before it is inspected… But if it isn’t inspected I can’t open it up for anyone.

Quest completed

Return to Marley tomorrow.

Now let’s go see how Barney is doing with his crops.

Are the Crops Growing?

Hello again! I am a bit worried, nothing has come up from the soil. I hope I don’t have to postpone the party. We need to do something extra to get the plants started… Cow poo! Yes, you heard right! We need to spread some manure to get the plants ready in time. Maybe you and Summerblaze can use this spade to collect some manure for me? Ride to Hollow Woods and Valedale. Claire’s cow manure would be perfect for this.

Objectives: Get cow manure outside Valedale.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go to the cows near Valedale, and collect their poo. You have to be dismounted to use the shovel. When you have collected enough manure, return to Barney.

Quest completed

______________

Fertilize the Field

Fertilizing the field is not glamorous work, but it has to be done, Rita. Take the bucket with manure and spread it out here and there. The soil will absorb the nutrients fast. No time to lose, take the bucket and start!

The Smith’s New Barrels

Yes! You are probably right! Ride over to Conrad, he is good at fixing and making just about everything. I’m sure he can fix my barrels.

Quest completed

______________

New Wood for the Broken Barrels

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

That is what we will build out barrels with.

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

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

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

When you have collected enough branches, return to Conrad.

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

Quest completed

______________

New Iron for the Barrels

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

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

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

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

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

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

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

Farmer

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

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

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

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

Quest completed

______________

Flourishing Seeds

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

______________

Dig Holes in the Ground

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

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

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

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

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

Quest completed

______________

Time to Plant and Sow

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

“I would love to go on a date with you! A picnic in the shadow of a tree, close to the beautiful cemetery! Come and meet me there tomorrow.” What a nice letter! And she said yes! She says we’ll have a picnic tomorrow. That’s great!

Quest completed

Return to Lance tomorrow.

Now let’s go see how the trainee at the Winery is doing with the cement.

The Hole in the Wall is Gone

Woohoo! Look at that! Everything is fixed. So nice. It is time for me to get back to North Link. I hope the boss isn’t too angry at me for being away for so long.

Goodbye for now, come and visit me any time by North Link any time you like. You can tell the Baroness that the cellar is expanded and ready to go so she should be happy. I’ll get out of here as soon as you talk with her.

See you soon!

Objectives: Speak with the Baroness.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Go see the Baroness standing in front of the Manor, and tell her you have finished with the cellar.

Hello dear. Is the cellar finished? Excellent. Then I’ll go down and inspect it at once. Meet me there Rita.

What a Fantastic Cellar

This has been wonderfully done Rita. You are as good at building as you are with wines and riding! Is there anything you can’t do? Look how big the cellar is now. We should be able to store many fine years of wine.

You have mopped the whole floor down too… The floor has never been this clean in here before. You didn’t really need to do that.

Objectives: Speak with the Baroness.

Rewards: 200 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP, Baroness Coat

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

Oh, gee, you flatter me…

Now, back up into the daylight again.

As thanks for your fantastic work, I have your compensation here. I would also like you to have this jacket that I had when I was young. See this as a little bonus for doing such a great job.

Quest completed

Now let’s go check on the trainee up at North Link.

Finished With Training

Hello there! So great to see you again. I’m glad you came so soon because I won’t be here for long. I’ve gotten a bit tired of this job. Nobody even noticed that I was missing.

Everything is in such bad shape and it feels like none of them care what we do or that we are destroying the environment for no reason. Nope… This is not the right job for me. I want to work to make things grow rather than destroying them.

The winery you say? Yes, I do know a lot about wine. You are right, that would be perfect for me. Speak with the Baroness and tell her you sent me? Thank you for the tip! I’ll do that right away!

Objectives: Speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Finally. A worker with a heart. I think I like this guy.

It is a little strange but I don’t think we were ever properly introduced. Rita? What a nice name! My name is Conny. I hope we’ll see each other again soon.

Goodbye!

Quest completed

Marley has an idea for a new project for you. Let’s go see what he has to say.

Marley’s New Idea

Howdy Rita! Thanks for all the help building the jumping course. Now I really need your help again! The jumping course is fine of course… But I was reading in the last Jorvik Gazette about barrel racing. It sounds like the coolest thing ever! I’ve already started to put a course together…

Unfortunately I have NO idea how barrel racing really works… So I ordered an official rulebook. Can you pick it up for me? Derek at the post office should have it by now.

Objectives: Ride to the post office in Silverglade and pick up the Barrel Racing Rulebook that Marley order.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

The post office is in the main square, across from the vet’s house.

Heya Rita! Aha! Yes, Marley’s book has arrived.

Quest completed

______________

Post with a Plan

Here is the book Marley ordered. Barrel racing huh? It sounds really really fun! If I ever manage to get up in the saddle I would definitely want to try that out. Yes, I did sneak a peek at the book last night… I was bored… I hope you don’t mind…

Say hello to Marley for me and good luck!

Objectives: Bring the rulebook to Marley.

Rewards 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

You’re lucky you’re cute, because I wouldn’t want you to be my mailman. How unprofessional, looking at other people’s mail.

Take the book back to Marley.

Yeehaw! Now we can put together the first official barrel racing course in Jorvik. Give me a hand here Rita. This is going to be fantastic!

Quest completed

______________

Barrels for the Race

The first thing I did was order some barrels. You can’t really have a barrel race without barrels, right? Even I couldn’t get that wrong…

James in Fort Pinta was supposed to accept the order and bring them here… But he hasn’t shown up. Can you ride over to James and find out what the hold-up is?

Objectives: Ride over to James in Fort Pinta and find out what has happened to the barrels Marley ordered.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Always a delivery problem. Seriously…

Let’s go see what James has to say about the missing barrels.

Of course… the barrels. I had almost forgotten about that. Unfortunately the truck that delivered them had a bit of an accident. The truck driver thought for some reason I said “Firgrove” and not “Fort Pinta,” so he drove up in the mountains instead of coming straight here…

The truck driver called from Firgrove and said that the barrels must have fallen off somewhere between Valedale Lake and Firgrove. He said that if I wanted the barrels I would have to go and pick them up myself. He said there was no amount of money that would make him drive THAT road again. I’d love to help out but I have to take care of all the tourists here in Fort Pinta. Business is going great right now so I don’t really have any time to spare. I’m afraid that if Marley wants them you’ll have to find them yourself. Good luck!

Objectives: Find the barrels in the mountains between Firgrove and Valedale Lake and deliver them to Marley.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

There are three barrels to find along the Firgrove Mountain Pass. Two of them are on the trail. The thrid is off the trail, on the Firgrove side, at the first sharp corner.

When you have pick up all three barrels, return to Marley with them.

You found the barrels! Great job Rita. But wait… They are completely broken. What should I do now? Without barrels I can’t really have a barrel race, can I?

Quest completed

Return to Marley tomorrow.

Hello Rita! Now we only need one more color, then I can start making your vest! What I need is a special tint of purple and I’ve heard that the Baroness herself has started using purple grapes to dye the fabric of her beautiful dresses.

But I don’t want everyone in Jorvik to know about this and then come here and take my valuable grapes so I keep it to myself.

Quest completed

______________

Harvest

Well, now that you already know about it, I’ll help you. You’ve been so helpful around here. If you can help me with today’s grape harvest you can take some of them and make dye. Pick grapes from the vines on the right and left side of the parkway, which is the entrance to the vineyard.

Quest completed

Return to Donald tomorrow.

Oh Yes, Silverglade Village Too!

I’ve been thinking some more and I remembered that I was in the Silverglade Village. Could you help me look there? It would be really kind! I was at the post office to pick up a package, after that I talked to the vet and finally I filled up some water from the well inside the village.

Green as a Jealous Druid

Now I need some green color for your vest. Old Mrs Holdsworth in Moorland used to come here and she can make a green dye from bushes growing here in Moorland. She has a special way of making dye by boiling the leaves in water with olive oil in it.

Ask her how it’s done. But don’t forget to get some olive oil from Harold.

Objectives: Get help from Mrs Holdsworth to extract green color. She lives in the red house outside the Moorland Stable.

Hello Rita! It’s been a while. Green dye, you say? Of course, the bushes here in Moorland have large, fine leaves which I can boil to make green dye. But I use a secret ingredient – olive oil.

The Secret Ingredient

Lost Money

I’ve saved for a long time to be able to buy new riding clothes and now all my money is gone. I must have lost them! They have to be somewhere nearby. Can you help me look for them, please?

There are three places I might have lost them in. One is in the paddock next to me, near the hay. Or maybe I lost them during lunch. I sat at the bridge down by the water, south of Mrs Holdsworth’s house. On my way back I visited Mrs Holdsworth and may have lost them by the benches in her cherry tree garden.

Objectives: Look for Tan’s lost money at three spots. Search in the paddock, at the bridge south of Mrs Holdsworth’s house and by the benches in her garden. When you’re finished, return t her.

Maybe on the Way to the Smith?

I was at the smithy, you know… Conrad. I may have lost my money on the way back when I was riding a bit faster. Look along the road towards Conrad the smith, his smithy is to the north. I was riding along the race track, so start there, please. After that you can talk to Conrd to see if he’s seen any lost money.

The places to check are along the road, next to the stable wall, and also along the trail, off the road, to the smithy. Speak with Conrad when you’ve checked all of the places.

Hello Rita! Oh, Tan lost her money? That’s sad. I haven’t seen or heard anything here. I think you’ll have to return and tell her that, sorry.
