Snake in the Trap!

freja_sunfield

Hi Rita!

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

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

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

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

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

freja_sunfield

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

Quest completed

______________

What a Beauty!

freja_sunfield

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

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

You don’t think it’s a good idea?

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

Objectives: Talk to Freja.

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

freja_sunfield

OUCH!

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

Quest completed

______________

Snake on the Loose

freja_sunfield

Sniffle.

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

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

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

The books?

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

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

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

Objectives: Help Freja find information about the runaway snake.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Sunfield Family

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

freja_sunfield

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

Quest completed

______________

To the Home of the Cliff Cobra

freja_sunfield

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

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

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

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

Yay! To the Forgotten Fields!!

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

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 35 with Sunfield Family

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

freja_sunfield

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

Quest completed

______________

The Snake Photographer

freja_sunfield

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

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

YAAAAAY! Now we can take tons of great pictures!

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

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

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

freja_sunfield

Wow, it’s warm! Are you hot?

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

Quest completed

______________

Who’ll Get Home First?

freja_sunfield

Yaaaaawwwwnnn.

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

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

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

I’ll count us in… Ready?

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

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

Reputation: 35 with Sunfield Family

Follow the checkpoints to race back to the farm.

martina_sunfield

Hello Rita!

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

Quest competed

______________

Where’s Freja?

martina_sunfield

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

You say she already went home?

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

…

Hmm… No answer.

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

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

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

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 40 with Sunfield Family

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

freja_sunfield

Rita…

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

Helping a Sick Girl Home

freja_sunfield

Sniffle.

I really don’t feel good Rita.

Sniffle.

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

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

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

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Sunfield Family

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

Speak to Martina when you return to the Sunfield Farm.

martina_sunfield

Rita!! Oh my! What’s happened?!

Quest completed

______________

The Moonlighting Vet Doctor

martina_sunfield

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

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

…

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

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

Would you ride off and talk to her?

Lovely. Off you go then!

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

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

dino_valley_vet

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

Quest completed

______________

What’s Wrong with Freja?

dino_valley_vet

What’s that, Martina sent you?

Oh! Freja’s sick?

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

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

Objectives: Talk to the vet.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

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

dino_valley_vet

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

Quest completed

______________

Cliff Cobra Calling Card

dino_valley_vet

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

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

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

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

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

See you soon, okay?

Objectives: Tell Martina about Freja’s condition.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

Return to Martina and tell her what the vet said.

martina_sunfield

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

Quest completed

______________

Preparing for a Snake Hunt

martina_sunfield

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

Sigh.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

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

martina_sunfield

There it is! Good job finding it Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Snake Hunter

martina_sunfield

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

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

Good luck Rita!

Objectives: Find and capture the cliff cobra.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Sunfield Family

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

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

When you have caught the snake, return to Martina.

martina_sunfield

You got it! Well done!

Quest completed

______________

Snake in a Bag!

martina_sunfield

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

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

Thank you!

Objectives: Take the snake to the vet in Jarlaheim.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Sunfield Family

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

dino_valley_vet

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

Quest completed

______________

Freja’s Gonna Feel Better Soon

dino_valley_vet

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

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

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

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

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

Objectives: Give the anti-venom to Martina.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

martina_sunfield

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

Quest completed

______________

Hero of the Hour!

martina_sunfield

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

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

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

Objectives: Talk to Freja.

Life Goes On at the Sunfield Farm

filip_sunfield

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

Any bright ideas?

Flowers? Yeah! She loves flowers! Great idea!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

isolde_goldspur

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hurry now, and say hello to Ed from me!

Pardoning a Criminal

filip_sunfield

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

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

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

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

Know what?

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

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

What happened?

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

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

Thank you so much Rita, you saved my life.

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

Rita, I need to get back to work; there’s lots left to do and I wanna get done with everything before it gets dark.

An Escaped Hero

Let Filip know that Tor’s okay and that I’m sorry if he got angry and thought I’d disappeared. I’d never try to run away, I hope he knows that.

A Well-Earned Punishment

filip_sunfield

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

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

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

Objectives: Talk to Tristan.

tristan_goldspur

I’m free, Rita! I’m free!

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

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

See ya Rita!

a big thank you from ferdinand and eddie, broken wheels, eddie, ferdinand, ferdinand's lunch, goofy lars, hungry horses hanker for hay, johanna, lunch for the wagoner, market rent, martina, no more hay for the horses, shrimps for hay, the horses have escaped the market, welcome to the market

Travel to Ferdinand’s Horse Market’s current location to begin these quests [the current location will be posted on the Horse Guide page].

Welcome to the Market

ferdinand

Good day to you! My name is Ferdinand, and this is Ferdinand’s Horse Market. Welcome! Who do I have the honor of addressing?

Rita? How nice. I hope you’ll find everything you seek, here at my most humble market. May I ask the name of your wonderful steed?

Summerblaze, what a lovely name! Horses are my life, you see. All the horses you see on this fare are raised on my family’s grounds, high up on Jorvik’s tallest mountain.

Every so often, my wife and I travel to the lowland to find new owners for our horses, but not whoever comes around! I would never let my horses be purchased by a careless individual, that would be unforgivable. I can see you are a decent and responsible human being, so if you see a horse you’d like to buy, it would pleasure me immensely to see you become its owner.

Anyhow, don’t let me take up any more of your valuable time, I’m going to… wait!

Someone is shouting. It sounds like my wife, and her voice is angry…

Rita. Uh… I have to remain on my spot here, would you be dear and see what’s befallen her?

Objectives: Speak to Ferdinand’s wife.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 25 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

You can find Ferdinand’s wife nearby in the market.

eddie

Good day to you! Pardon me… I must be looking hideous at the moment. Here I am, halfway down in the mud working, when visitors arrive! It’s so typical.

Who am I speaking to? Rita, nice to meet you. My name is Edvina, but you may call me Eddie, everyone I know does. We’ll have to speak later, I need to get my work done. Or, maybe you could help me?

Quest completed

______________

Broken Wheels

eddie

Oh, Rita. Every time, it’s the same. The trip down the mountain is fine, on its narrow and horrid paths winding their way down the steeps. Later, when we’ve made it to civilization, to nice flat roads, things starts falling apart. I have no idea why this is, but it’s like this every time. Today the wagon wheel broke. It’s not hard to repair, you only need hammer and nails, but it takes time.

Know what? If I fix this wheel, maybe you can fix the other broken wagons? You can? Thanks. Have a look at the wagons here and see if you can fix the broken wheels you come across.

Return to me when you’re done. See you later.

Objectives: Repair all broken wheels on the wagons in the market square.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP, Rye Sandwich

Reputation: 50 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Dismount your horse and use the nails in your inventory to fix all of the broken wagon wheels. Return to Eddie when you are finished.

eddie

There! This wheel is finally repaired. Phew!

How did it go for you, Rita? Wow! You’ve fixed all the other broken wheels on our wagons? Not bad! Thanks a lot!

I think it’s about time for lunch. Here you go, take one of my homemade sandwiches. Enjoy your meal!

Quest completed

Sniff, sniff… Ham… Mustard…

SNIFF! Tomato… Aaaaaaahhhh…

Gimme! Quick!

Thanks. If I’m not gonna eat it? Not yet. First I’m gonna enjoy it’s lovely aroma… Sniff… Sniff…

If you want to know anything about the Horse Market, just ask me.

Good day to you again, dear Rita. What is that incredible smell? Oho! A sandwich from my darling wife, how nice. So, could you help her with something?

You helped her fix the wagon wheels on our wagons? How noble of you. Let me give you this small trifle as reward.

I hope you’ll have a good time at our market. You are always welcome here.

Quest completed

The following quests are only available when the market is at Jorvik Stables.

No More Hay for the Horses

ferdinand

Dear Rita, how good of you to come visit us. You’re a ray of sunlight that brightens our day, mark my words. If you have some time to spare, could you help me with a small errand? Excellent, Rita, very kind of you.

You see, we need to replenish our stockpile of hay. Our latest trip took longer than anticipated, and we’ve almost run out. The Sunfield family are old friends of ours, could you ask Martina if she has some hay to spare?

Thanks, Rita. Return when you have the hay.

Objectives: Ride over to Martina Sunfield and ask for hay.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Speak to Martina on the Sunfield farm.

martina_sunfield

Hay? There will be no speak of hay. Why do you ramble about that? I don’t have time, there is work to be done. I don’t have time to slack off like certain others… None mentioned, none forgotten.

Quest completed

______________

Shrimps for Hay

martina_sunfield

Ferdinand and Eddie needs hay for their horses? Why didn’t you say so in the first place? Of course they’ll get all the hay they need! But while I do that, you’ll have to help me around a little.

Take this bucket of old shrimp shells, and don’t wrinkle your nose now, and toss the contents in the sea. It might be smelly, but it’s like that sometimes. Everything can’t smell like roses and lilacs. Ride down to the docks north of our farm and toss the shrimp shells to the sea. Come back later, and I’ll give you your hay.

Objectives: Ride to the docks north of the Sunfield farm and toss the old shrimp shells in the sea.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Ride down the hill behind the house and dismount your horse to go out on the dock and toss the shells. Return to Martina when you are finished.

There we go. Again the farm smells of cow and pig manure. Aaaahh… Lovely!

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Bring the hay back to Ferdinand.

ferdinand

How wonderful it is to have good friends in times of need, don’t you agree, Rita? My horses simply love the hay from the Sunfield farm. You can’t get any better.

Quest completed

______________

The Horses Have Escaped the Market

ferdinand

Woe and horror, Rita! Have you seen it? Our horses have gone nutty and torn loose!

Dear me, it must have been something in the hay that’s made them this wacky. I know they love that hay, but they never get this elated. I don’t know how long they can run around in this hijinks, but soon enough someone will get tired and hurt themselves, I just know it. Summerblaze seems to be a fast steed, maybe you can ride among them and stop them? You only need to get close to them, and you’ll see they quiet down.

Hurry up, Rita, and be careful. Good luck!

Objectives: Ride along all horses who have escaped the Horse Market and make them stop.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Run after each horse and get close enough to make it stop. Once you have caught all of the horses, return to Ferdinand.

ferdinand

Dear, sweetest Rita. My heart literally skipped a few beats. How fortunate you were around when this happened.

Quest completed

______________

Market Rent

eddie

Hi, Rita. Could you help me with a small errand? I don’t have time to leave the market right now, but the rent is due. You’re a trustworthy person, could I consign this envelope with Jorvik Shillings to you? You only need to give it to Johanna at Jorvik Stables. It’ll be a quick job for a rider of your skill.

You can? Thanks, Rita.

A Big Thank You from Ferdinand and Eddie

ferdinand

Dear Rita, you’ve truly been a great support to use here in the Harvest Counties. Imagine if you haven’t save the day and made those horses stop… I don’t want to think about it.

Eddie and I spoke earlier, and we both agreed that we want to give you a gift as a reward for everything you’ve done for us. Eddie was going to procure it, and I think she’s ready now. Go see her, and you’ll get a very nice present from us, and no, I don’t intend you what it is. That would ruin the surprise! See you later, dear Rita, see you later.

Objectives: Speak to Eddie at the Horse Market.

Rewards: 150 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP, Green Snugly Tights or Green Cardigan

Reputations: 500 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Go over and speak to Eddie.

eddie

Hi, Rita! Look what I’ve found in our wagon. It’s a small thing we received on our wedding day many years ago, and both Ferdinand and I thought it would suit you perfectly. Here you go! You’re a true friend, Rita, do come visit us soon. Bye now.

Check Out the Jorvik Stables Elite Competition

barbara

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

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

What do you say? Are you ready to test the Jorvik Stables Elite Competition?

Objectives: Ride over the finish line.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jorvik Stables

Complete the race and speak with Barbara afterwards.

barbara

Wow! Very well ridden! Let me know if you want to compete again.

Quest completed

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

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

A Step Up in Your Career?

ms_drake

Rita, get over here.

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

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

Alright. Well done.

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

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

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

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 100 XP

Reputation: 25 with G.E.D. Jarlaheim Office

Enter Herman’s house at Jorvik Stables to give him the report.

herman

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

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

Let’s see what it says.

Let’s see now…

…

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

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

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

Quest completed

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

Missing Poultry

jill_goldspur

Hello Rita.

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

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

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

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

Good luck, Rita.

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

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Sunfield Family

Speak with Filip about the newest crisis.

filip_sunfield

Hello there! Nice to meet you.

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

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

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

Quest completed

______________

Not a Feather Left

filip_sunfield

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

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 25 with Sunfield Family

Search around the chicken coop, then return to Filip with your findings.

filip_sunfield

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

No?

Oh. That was it then. Poor chickens…

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

Hmm… What is this now?

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

Quest completed

______________

Is it Saga’s Button?

filip_sunfield

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

Objectives: Speak to Saga Sunfield.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Sunfield Family

Maybe Saga knows something…

saga_sunfield

Hi there! My name is Saga.

What’s your name? Nice to meet you, Rita.

How can I help you? You’re here about the chickens?

Quest completed

______________

A Bag to Carry

saga_sunfield

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

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

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

Thank you for your help!

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

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Sunfield Family

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

saga_sunfield

Thank you for your help!

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

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

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

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

Good luck! See you around!

Quest completed

______________

Is It Martina’s Button?

filip_sunfield

My wife Martina might have lost the button. That’s a possibility, I think. She always has a lot to do, but you could always ask her if the button belongs to her, if she has the time to see you.

Objectives: Ask Martina if she knows anything about the button.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Sunfield Family

Saga wasn’t helpful, maybe Martina can be…

martina_sunfield

If I’ve lost a button? Maybe I have, but I don’t have time for a whole lot of chatting right now. 

Quest completed

______________

The Cows Need Milking

martina_sunfield

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

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

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

Objectives: Milk the cows in the cowshed and return to Martina Sunfield.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Sunfield Family

Dismount your horse to use the empty buckets to milk the cows, then return to Martina.

martina_sunfield

Thank you. So, let me have a look at that button.

Hmm… Nah, I don’t recognize it. Move it along now, I need to continue working. What do you mean, “unpleasant?” Listen, I actually don’t know anything about it! Do I have to spell it out for you?

Quest completed

______________

Might Loke Have Lost a Button?

filip_sunfield

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

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

Sigh.

Objectives: Ask Loke Sunfield if he knows something about the button.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Sunfield Family

Loke can be found bumming around the outside wall, near where you dropped the grain for Saga.

Grimy in the Pigsty

loke_sunfield

If I’ve lost a button? I never lose buttons or anything. I’m not a half-wit like you! Hehe.

What? You want to know what happened to the chickens last night?

Hmm… Yes, I know what happened. It was awful! But… Why should I tell you?

You really want to know, don’t you?

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

Now move it!

Objectives: Take the shovel next to Loke. Then muck out the pigsty and return to him when you’re done.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Sunfield Family

Pick up the shovel and you can either jump the fence with your horse or click the blue sparkles to open the gate. Dismount your horse to use the shovel. When you have shoveled all the manure, return to Loke.

loke_sunfield

You done mucking?

Good. I’ll tell you all I know.

…

Hehe…

You understand?

I said nothing, cause I know nothing! HA! You’re so gullible. Get lost!

______________

Doesn’t Anyone Know Anything About the Button?

filip_sunfield

Nobody knew anything… I knew it. This is useless. I think I’ll just have to accept that the chickens are gone.

You don’t want to quit?

That’s the spirit!

However… I don’t know who else you could ask…

Actually, I guess you could talk to Freja, my youngest. She’s so young she barely knows what a chicken is, but if you want to give it a shot, go ahead.

She’s over there by the hammock.

Quest completed

______________

An Unlikely Thief

filip_sunfield

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Goldspur Family

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

isolde_goldspur

Hello and welcome to the Goldspur family!

Uuh… What now? Stealing chickens?! What?! No, not me… If I’ve been to the Sunfield farm? Er… No… Never! Or, not in a long time at least…

I’m innocent. I would never steal chickens. Or anything else for that matter! How dare you make such a claim!

No, I don’t want to speak to you anymore.

Me? A Birdnapper?

isolde_goldspur

Wait a second! What is that?

Oh! My button!

Thank you! I’ve been looking for that all day! Such luck, I though I’d lost it forever. That was kind of you. Where did you find it?

Objectives: Speak to Isolde again.

The evidence doesn’t lie…

isolde_goldspur

Uh… WHAT?! You found the button on the Sunfield farm?! How is that possible?! I didn’t wear that particular coat yesterday… Or… Ever…

You don’t believe me?! How dare you!

If you think I’ve been on the Sunfield farm, then prove it!

Grrr…

Tristan’s Tale

tristan_goldspur

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

Loke always does that sort of thing.

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

What?!

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

Objectives: Speak to Tristan again.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Goldspur Family

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

tristan_goldspur

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

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

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

Jakob’s Tale

jakob_goldspur

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

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

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

Where she’d been?

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Goldspur Family

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

jakob_goldspur

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

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

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

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

Quest completed

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

A Clue on the Ground

self

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

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

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

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Goldspur Family

Check each of the sale horses in the stable for the one with the broken shoe.

self

Hmm… That horse’s shoe looks broken.

______________

A Clue on the Horse

self

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Goldspur Family

Ride to the Sunfield Farm and search all of the indicated areas for a track.

self

Look! This horseshoe print looks exactly like the one on Goldspur’s farm. It looks pretty recent as well.

Someone from Goldspur farm has been here, and not too long ago.

Quest completed

Ride up to the Goldspur house and speak to Isolde’s father, Angus, about what you have found.

Angus’s Tale

angus_goldspur

If Isolde was out last night and stole chickens at the Sunfield farm?

WHAT?!

Objectives: Speak to Angus again.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Goldspur Family

Can no one take an accusation with dignity?

angus_goldspur

What are you saying?! Outside in the dead of night despite her other and I strictly forbidding it?! And she’s stolen chickens! Have a nurtured a thief by my bosom?!

She’s grounded until she’s a hundred years old, just she wait!

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

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

I haven’t noticed anything. I sleep like a log during the night. Don’t ever come claiming my daughter is a thief, ever again. Do that and you’ll never be welcome here again.

Idun’s Night

idun_goldspur

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

What did you ask him?

What? You said Isolde is a chicken thief?

Are you out of your mind?!

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

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

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

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

Tristan, tell lies?!

You…

How dare you…

Beware, little girl! Beware the wrath of Goldspur!

Grr…

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

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

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

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Goldspur Family

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


idun_goldspur

So all the weeds are gone now? Good.

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

That was odd…

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

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

Hmm…

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

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

First, Hide and Seek

hannibel_goldspur

Hi!

Who are you?

Rita

Rita, Rita, nah nah nah nah nah nah!

Ha ha ha.

Rita, do you want to play hide and seek? It’s the best game ever!

Huh?You want to know our secret? What secret?

Our secret about Isolde? Ha ha!

We know something you don’t! But we won’t tell you, nah nah nah!

We’ve promised not telling mom and dad.

You’re not mom and dad? Oh… That’s true…

Okay! If you want to know, you’ll have to find us first. Count to one hundred before you start looking. No cheating!

Ha ha! You’ll never find us!

Objectives: Find the twins hiding on the Goldspur grounds.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Goldspur Family

The twins can be found in several places from the mill near the house, to the stone fence by the horse pasture, middle of the sunflower field, near the G.E.D. base, as well as in or behind the cow barn, and up in the attic of the building next to the cow barn.

When you start to near one of their hiding places, the screen will tell you are getting warm, then hot, when you get very near him. Find both twins, then return to the place where you started the game.

hannibel_goldspur

You found us so quickly. We never thought you’d make it! Want to play more?

No? Tell you what we saw last night?

Hush… It’s a secret…

We saw her!

Who?

Isolde, of course! She climbed out her bedroom window last nigh, she does it a lot! We’ve promised not to tell mom and dad. But you’re not mom or dad, so that makes it alright! Ha ha!

Where her bedroom is? Over there, by the other house! Come back if you want to play more, you were such fun. Bye bye lemon pie!

Quest completed

Let’s go and investigate by Isolde’s room by the house.

self

Hmm… What is this? It looks like fresh boot marks in the flower bed. It leads both to and from the window, as if someone jumped out of it, was gone for a while, then returned.

The tracks are deep. Whoever made them might still have soil underneath their boots…

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

Prove It!

isolde_goldspur

So, let’s see if you are any smart. Prove it was me who stole those chickens!

Objectives: Prove Isolde was on the Sunfield farm last night.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 75 with Goldspur Family

Present the facts that you have discovered from your investigation. We know for sure:

  • The twins saw Isolde sneak out last night.
  • The boot prints below the window prove so.
  • Jakob saw her riding in on a horse with a broken shoe.
  • The broken shoe print was found on the Sunfield farm.

isolde_goldspur

Okay! OKAY! I admit it.

It’s true. 

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

So… Now you know.

If It Wasn’t Isolde…

Reputation: 10 with Goldspur Family

Maybe Tristan knows something… He sure seems suspicious…

tristan_goldspur

Isolde. What happened is clear as day. Loke stole the chickens. He took your button without you noticing and placed it by the chicken to let everybody believe you’re the thief.

I’ve told you, that boy is no good. He’s a misfortune and he’s used you to get away with theft.

Sigh. You know I’m telling the truth. It’s no use talking about it, just you stay here with your family, and let’s forget he ever existed. That’s the smart thing to do.

Loke Would Never Do Such a Thing

isolde_goldspur

No! I don’t believe you! Loke would never do that to me!

 We love each other! He’s not a bad person at all! Everybody just blames him once something bad happens, but he’s super nice, really! I know he’s unpleasant towards everyone, but he’s not a thief! He’s just acting that way because everyone’s been so rotten. Why won’t anyone understand!

I need to speak to him! I need to hear it from his own lips. I must ride there!

Keeping Isolde From Speaking to the Thief

tristan_goldspur

You. You need to stop Isolde!

Catch up with her and stop her before she can reach the Sunfield farm. If she speaks to Loke, he might trick her into doing something stupid to get away with his crime. You must keep her from speaking to him. She is not to speak to that boy!

Hurry!

Objectives: Speak to Isolde before she speaks to Loke.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Catch up with Isolde outside the front of the Sunfield farm.

isolde_goldspur

Hello Rita.

I just spoke to Saga.

Isolde Rides Home

isolde_goldspur

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

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

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

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

Objectives: Tell Loke that Isolde is breaking up.

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

loke_sunfield

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

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

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

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

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

…

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