It’s time Rita! Wish me luck! I promise I’ll tell you everything! I have flowers and all, this will be great. Do I look good? Do you think she’ll like me?

Objectives: Wish Lance good luck!

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 40 with Silverglade Village

Good luck Lance!

lance

Thank you Rita! You are a real friend.

Quest completed

Let’s go see the happy couple at their picnic spot in front of the abbey.

A Romantic Day for Two

mary

Hello Rita! You have no idea how fantastic our date was! We are so grateful and happy because you helped us find love!

Objectives: (Talk to Mary about the picnic.)

Rewards: 200, 20 XP, A Cute Sweater from Lance and Mary

Reputation: 60 with Silverglade Village

Hope it was lovely, dear.

mary

Please take these gifts from us as a thank you! We really hope you will like them!

Quest completed

Let’s go see Marley about getting the barrels fixed.

The Smith’s New Barrels

marley

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. Here are the broken barrels Rita, ride like the wind and come back as soon as you can. I’ll read the rulebook while you are gone to be sure we do this just right.

Objectives: Ride over to Conrad with the broken barrels.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Conrad can be found at his smithy in Moorland.

conrad_marsdeen

Fix the barrels… Not really my area, but for you we’ll take a look. But remember I don’t do anything halfway… We’ll fix these right or not at all. If I’m making a barrel they will be the best barrels you’ve ever seen.

Quest completed

______________

New Wood for the Broken Barrels

conrad_marsdeen

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.

conrad_marsdeen

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

conrad_marsdeen

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.

conrad_marsdeen

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

barney

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…

barney

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

barney

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!

Objectives: Ride to Felix in Silverglade Village and ask about seeds.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go see Felix in the village.

felix

Hi Rita! Oh, indeed, Barney is going to have his annual family party? Hard to believe a whole year has gone by already.

Quest completed

______________

Some Different Seeds

felix

I have put together some bags of different seeds but haven’t written on the labels what they are. Barney likes surprises. Take these to him and say hello from me!

Objectives: Deliver the seeds to Barney.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go back to Barney with your plant progeny.

barney

Thank you Rita! I can’t wait to see what these grow up to be!

Quest completed

______________

Dig Holes in the Ground

barney

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.

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

barney

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.

Objectives: Spread the seeds on the field.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Eh, just, whatevs…

Put the seeds in the holes and then return to Barney.

barney

Good work! Maybe we should water the seeds a little bit? That will help them to start growing.

Quest completed

______________

All Living Things Need Water

barney

Here is my old watering can. It should be enough for the new seeds. It’s so nice that you are helping me with this, Rita. Now I have to write some invitations for my family party.

Objectives: Water the fields.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Take the watering can and water all of the seeds, then return to Barney.

barney

Thanks a million! Now we have to wait and see if it will grow.

Quest completed

Return to Barney tomorrow.

Objectives: Deliver the reply letter to Lance.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

Ride back to Lance and tell him that Mary accepts his invitation to a date.

lance

“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

ged_trainee

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.

baroness

Quest completed

______________

What a Fantastic Cellar

baroness

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

ged_trainee

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.

ged_trainee

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

marley

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.

derek

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

Quest completed

______________

Post with a Plan

derek

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.

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

marley

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.

james

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.

marley

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.

A Secret Gift

mary

I’ve figured out what I want to give him! The baker in Silverglade Village makes the best chocolate hearts I know! I’d like to give him a whole box, but I don’t want him to know they’re from me. Could you ride to the baker, order and box and give it to the cute guy? He usually sits on a barrel by the fountain. I’d be soooo grateful!

ged_trainee

Hi there. Now we have a lot of cement. Hmmm… I’m not sure what to do but I will do my best.

There is another thing that maybe you can help me with?

Quest completed

______________

No GPS for the G.E.D. Trainee

ged_trainee

You understand I don’t have a GPS to help me navigate this thing. The G.E.D. guys didn’t think I would need one. “No room in the budget” the boss said… But without one I don’t really feel save starting to drill again. But I have an idea. I know that at the oilfield near here there is a shed where they store both maps and GPS consoles. Can you ride over there and see if we might be able to get one?

Objectives: Ride to the oil field and get a map and a GPS from the shed there.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

The guard is standing just inside the oil field area, near where Mr Kembell is.

ged_worker

Are you my relief? Wait a minute… I don’t see very well.

Let’s get a look at you. Hmm… hm… no! You are not employed by G.E.D. Listen here! Take a few steps back please, this storage is for employees only.

Quest completed

______________

Eyes Like a Hawk

ged_worker

No no no! Take a few steps back. You won’t be getting past me.

This storage is very very important. How long will I be standing here? I’m waiting for my relief now, he is a bit late but I won’t be leaving my post for that. I’ll wait for him if it takes a week. And don’t try anything funny. I have eyes like a hawk! Maybe a near-sighted hawk, but a hawk nonetheless!

“I need to find a way to get past that guard. Maybe the trainee has an idea?”

Objectives: Ride over and speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Ride back to the cellar and ask the trainee if he has any ideas what to do.

ged_trainee

Oh… I don’t know… Short sighted you say?

Quest completed

______________

Building a Guard

ged_trainee

What? Are you kidding me? You want me to take off my clothes? You want to build a big doll? I don’t know… But ok. I’m not sure I like this though…

If you go look for something to build the doll with I will take off my clothes.

And you’ll need to promise me you won’t peek! Promise!

Objectives: Look for things in the cellar you can build a doll with and speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Go into the room down the hall, as well as the boiler room across the hall, to find the items to build the doll. When you have found all three of them, return to the trainee.

quest-trainee_in_barrel

Here I am. Here in the barrel!

Here are my clothes too. Promise me that I will get them back. Brrrr… It is really cold down here. Brrr…

Quest completed

______________

An Illusion for the Short-Sighted

ged_trainee

Let’s see. Hmmm… Do you really think this will work? You would have to be almost blind to be fooled by this. But this might be our only chance.

No. I don’t think I want to come out again until I have my clothes again. Take the doll and put it out in the field so the short-sighted guard thinks his relief has arrived. Hurry up! It is cold down here. Brrr…

Objectives: Ride over to the oil field and try to fool the guard with the doll. Place it on the field so he thinks it is a person.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Place the doll on the ground in front of him. Silly man should be fooled by this…

ged_worker

Stop and identify yourself! Stop! Who are you? Hmmm… I don’t know you…

Quest completed

______________

Guard Relief

ged_worker

Hrmmm… Are you here to relieve me? You are dressed like a G.E.D. employee and are tall and proud, so you must be my replacement. I like you! You can relax a little now… You don’t need to stand at attention the whole time… Though I like that you are showing me so much respect.

You don’t say much do you? Great! There is always too much talk around here. Focus on the job, that’s my advice. A word of warning though. Watch out for this girl who is trying to get into the storge shed. She is pretty tricky, but she won’t fool me!

Objectives: Take the map and GPS from the storage shed. Ride back to the winery when you have them and speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Both items are inside the shed, when you have picked them up, take them to the cellar by the trainee.

Quest completed

______________

Out of the Barrel Again

ged_trainee

Can I get my clothes back now please? Brrr… So cold. Lie them down beside my barrel and leave the room so I can change please. And no peeking!

Objectives: Go out of the room so the trainee can change his clothes in private. Go back and speak with him again after.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Go out into the hallway, and the trainee will change. Though I don’t know where he got the clothes from since we left the doll and clothes up in the oil field…

Once he’s changed, go back and speak with him again.

ged_trainee

There we go! Nice to have some clothes on again. Now you can look. Now I’m going to use this cement so that all traces of my mistake are gone.

Quest completed

Return to the Trainee tomorrow.

The whole delivery of jelly hearts for my shop went bust! The package ripped on the way here, so now you can find jelly hearts all over Everwind Fields. If you need any jelly hearts you have to ride and pick up as many as you want.

Objectives: Pick up ten jelly hearts and give them to Mary.

Delivery problems. It’s always delivery problems…

Ride north out of Silverglade Village to the Everwind Fields and pick up the jelly hearts.

When you have picked up ten of them, take them to Mary at Doyle’s Abbey.

mary

What, a gift for me? From whom? A secret admirer. Oh, so exciting!

Quest completed

Return to Mary tomorrow.

Tyra needs your help up at the Winery.

A Ghost in the Wine Cellar

tyra

Hello Rita. Can you help me with something? Please?

You see, the Baroness wants me to get a bottle of her finest wine from the wine cellar. She is going to serve her finest wine next weekend at her dinner with the Councilman. So I went down in the wine cellar and started to look for the bottle.

Suddenly I heard a horrible noise and the whole ground started to shake! I was so frightened that I just dropped everything and ran out of there. I don’t want to go in there again but the Baroness is going to be angry if I don’t do what I’m told. Can you get the bottle for me?

The wine cellar is at the other end of the winery. There is a door to it in the factory building behind the stores.

Objectives: Go down in the vineyard wine cellar and get the bottle of wine for the Baroness. The wine cellar is at the other end of the winery and there is a door behind the shops.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Ride north from Tyra, past the manor. The door to the cellar is on the east side of the winery building.

Once in the cellar, go down the stairs and turn left into the first door, then go right into the next room, to get the wine.

Watch out for ghosts on the way down!

Eh… This doesn’t look like northern Jorvik…

______________

This Isn’t North Link

ged_trainee

Hello there! Where am I anyways? In a wine cellar? Eh? I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere…

Wait! Don’t go! Let me tell you all about it. This is how it is. Today is my first day as a trainee at G.E.D. by North Link and the first thing they did was show me their new drilling machine. Here is your new job they said, just drive it straight. Then they said good luck and walked off to drink more coffee.

So I figured I’d better do what they tell me to… But it seems like I drove the machine a little crooked. If the boss finds out I’ll get fired right away. I’m so unlucky.

What should I do now? I have no idea. This is so embarrassing. Can you help me get out of this fix I’m in?

Objectives: Speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

I know exactly how you feel, dude. Getting poor training and you muff everything up on your first day.

ged_trainee

What do I think I should do? I have no idea…

Quest completed

______________

Which Bottle is the Right One for the Baroness?

ged_trainee

You can’t come up with anything? Please, try and think of something. Please!

A bottle of wine? Yes, there is a bottle on the shelf here beside me of the finest Chateau Silverglade 1955, it has a complex taste with an excellent bouquet and a strong finish. An excellent choice for a formal meal. How do I know? Both my mother and father were sommeliers so I’ve been learning about wine since I could crawl.

You are going to take the wine to the Baroness so that she won’t come down and look around here? Ok, but don’t leave me in the lurch. Co back as soon as you can.

Objectives: Take the bottle from the shelf by the trainee and deliver it to the Baroness.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the bottle behind the trainee and take it back outside to the Baroness.

And in case you were wondering, a sommelier is a wine steward; someone who is knowledgeable about many different wines and their tastes. They often work at high-end restaurants, and probably have more class than your average bartender.

Also, let’s hope he learned that info about wine from his parents, because he looks too young to drink.

baroness

How about that, that is the bottle I was looking for last week. Ah, from 1955. I didn’t know you were a wine expert Rita. But normally the staff is very dependable. But this took strangely long time.

Quest completed

______________

Organization of Years

baroness

You are an orderly girl Rita, how could it take so long?

Of course it is probably my own fault. It has been years since I have been down in the wine cellar… It must be very disorganize down there by now. I think it would be for the best if I went down there and looked into it myself. Rita, let’s go down and take a look right now.

What’s that? There is a wasp nest on the cellar stairs? Would you do me a favor and get rid of it? I’m allergic to bees you know.

Objectives: Go down into the wine cellar again and speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Go down to ‘get rid of the bees’ and warn the trainee that the Baroness is coming.

ged_trainee

Oh no! The Baroness is on her way here? She’s not going to be happy when she sees what I’ve done. What are we going to do?

Quest completed

______________

To Hide a Cellar

ged_trainee

What should we do? I have no idea… Hide the hole in the wall? We can’t do that…

What? Block the door with barrels? I’m not sure I understand but I’ll trust you. Don’t shut me in here. I promise I won’t make a sound. I’ll be quiet as a mouse!

Objectives: Pick up the barrels in the cellar and block the door with them. Then speak with the Baroness again.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the barrels, then go outside the room to place them. Once they are all up, go out of the cellar and speak with the Baroness.

baroness

Hello young lady. Is the wasp nest gone now? Excellent. Meet me in the wine cellar as soon as you can.

Quest completed

The Baroness is now down in the cellar in front of the room you just blocked off. Go down in the cellar to speak with her again.

Renovation of the Wine Cellar

baroness

It is overflowing with wine in the cellar! How could we fill up the cellar all the way up to the door? It has been a good couple of years now but I didn’t know it had been this good. We need to expand the cellar!

Can you take care of this development Rita? Great! Can you see to it that the cellar gets renovated? I promise you will be well compensated for your efforts. Were agreed then! Let me know when you are done. It will be so exciting to see the new cellar. Work quickly dear.

See you soon!

Objectives: Move the barrels again and speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

With the Baroness safely out of sight, take down the barrels and speak with the trainee.

ged_trainee

Oh no! How are we going to fix this Rita?

Quest completed

______________

A Big Hole to Fill

ged_trainee

I’m not good at this kind of thing… Digging a hole and then filling it back in… But for this I think concrete would do the trick. I know there is tons of it up at North Link.

How are we going to get a few tons of cement here? I have no idea…

But I’m sure you will come up with something… You are as smart as a Nobel Prize winner. Maybe you can find a way to fool the boss up there.

Come back as soon as you can!

Objectives: Ride to North Link and find some concrete. The boss should know something.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Who said we would have to fool him? We’re friends. He owes me a big favor anyway…

Ride up to the North Link construction site and speak with the crew lead there.

crew_lead

Concrete? Listen up, don’t go thinking we just give out concrete to anyone who asks for it. Anyways, we don’t have an concrete right now. The last delivery has gotten lost on its way here.

Quest completed

______________

Lost Concrete

crew_lead

Whew. Can you believe it. The guy who drove the truck sent an SMS saying he was driving around Jorvik and doesn’t know where he is I have no idea where he could be… Can you figure out what his message is supposed to mean?

“Heya! I got lost. North of me is a windmill. To the west is a big castle. I have no idea where I am. I’m super tired right now. Cant drive more now. Stopped on a hill. Come find me. /Lightning”

I don’t really get what he is trying to say… and I have a lot of other things to do. Maybe you can find him and give him directions to here? Great. I’ll SMS him and say you will be coming to find him.

Objectives: Find the lost concrete truck.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

I am aware the clue to the truck is confusing. I have contacted game support to change it but have not heard back from them yet, as of writing this.

The truck is to the west of the castle. It is on the road south of the Winery.

quest-missing_cement_truck

Here is a map of its exact location. It is a big giant yellow dump truck, and hard to miss as long as you are on the correct road.

truck_driver

What’s up? Is it you who is going to show me the way to the building site? I have tons of cement I need to get rid of. Where should I take it? I don’t really know. The directions I got are worthless.

Quest completed

______________

New Instructions for the Driver

truck_driver

So you have directions to the build site? To the farm up there? To a factory by the farm? That is very close to here. Excellent!

Ok. I’ll drive there and unload the concrete in the cellar. No problem.

Great, we’ll see you at the Winery then!

Objectives: Ride and meet the driver with the cement delivery by the factory at the Winery.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Go up to the factory building. The truck will be parked in front of it.

Speak to the truck driver when you get there.

It’s funny how he magically disappears as soon as you turn your back to him.

truck_driver

Hello there! I took a bit of a roundabout way here but it got me here before you anyways. They don’t call me Lightning for nothing! Ok, so we are all set to unload the concrete now. This is going to take a while so you might as well come back tomorrow. You can trust old Lightning. 

Cheers! We’ll see you tomorrow.

Quest completed

Return to the Truck Driver tomorrow.

The Unhappy Cow

may

Rita, we seem to be having a problem with Rosie, the cow standing over there by the wall. She’s been acting strange lately, hanging her head like she’s all sad or something. The vet was here but couldn’t find anything wrong with her health. I’m sure that something is not right, though, and I can’t bear to see her like this anymore.

It occurred to me that Mrs Holdsworth has a great hand with cattle. She used to have a farm herself when she was younger and she often tells stories about different cows she remembers, like they were all friends of hers with unique personalities. Maybe she knows what we could do to cheer Rosie up. Will you go talk to her?

Objectives: Go to Mrs Holdsworth and ask for advice on Rosie the cow.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stables

Sad cow is sad 😦

mrs_holdsworth

The cow is sad, you say. And you want me to cheer her up?

Quest completed

______________

The Dandelion Brew

mrs_holdsworth

I had the same problem with one of my own cows a long time ago. Her name was Wendy and she would get the most lifeless eyes sometimes… She would stand in a corner staring in front of her, like all hope was gone. But I cured her. Can you guess what I did? I remembered that she had escaped from the enclosure once and gone to my garden where I found her eating dandelions. So I went and got a bunch of them, and made them into a brew that I fed to Wendy. Did wonders! Why don’t we try if that works on your cow, as well? Get me five dandelions and I’ll make the brew for you.

Objectives: Pick five dandelions by the eastern stable wall and give them to Mrs Holdsworth.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stables

Dandy dandelions.

Collect the dandelions and return to Mrs Holdsworth

mrs_holdsworth

These look fine. I’ll have the brew ready for you in a while.

Quest completed

______________

Treating Rosie

mrs_holdsworth

Here is your brew, dear. Give it to her right away. And remember to talk to her while you’re at it, everyone appreciates a little attention once in a while. Good luck, dear!

Objectives: Give the potion to Rosie the cow and tell May what happened.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Moorland Stables

Let’s go make sad cow not so sad!

may

She actually does look happier. What did the trick? A dandelion potion? Would you believe that!

Quest completed

Thomas needs your help!

Stolen Documents

thomas_moorland

What in the world?! A cloaked rider just came by and took my original documents! Ride after him, will you? He’s just over there by the gate! Hurry!! HURRY! Catch him!

Objectives: Ride up close to the cloaked rider and take back Thomas’ documents.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 60 with Moorland Stable

Chase after the rider. He isn’t too hard to catch.

thomas_moorland

Well done. I will try to hide the papers better this time. Sorry? There was something strange with the horse? Like what? Ghost-like, you say? Um… I really can’t say – it all happened so fast. I’m sure it was just a regular horse with an unusually nasty owner.

Quest completed

Return to Thomas tomorrow.

And this isn’t the last time we’ll be seeing this mysterious figure… oooohhhh…..

Now it’s time to go meet a new character: James in Fort Pinta. My not so favorite little whelp…

Fort Pinta Advertising

james

Hi there, how’s it going? Welcome to Fort Pinta! I’m James and I run this place. Actually, right now I’ve got LOADS to do. See all those people? They all want to, like, enhance their trip here with a gallop along the beach. On my horses. And their children, they’re… they’re everywhere! At least that’s what it seems like to me.

Hey, this might sound weird, but I kind of like these people after all. They pay the bills for me, don’t they? In fact, I could use even more of them! Would you help me with something? Take these advertising posters and put them up on spots you think seem good. Everyone should know about my riding center!

Objectives: Put the posters up around Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Fort Pinta

Put the posters up and return to James.

james

Wow! I can’t believe how great that looks! This place will be crawling with tourists!

Quest completed

______________

Memory Card

james

You know what, I kind of have this… like, thing I want to do. Besides taking care of the stables. You might think it’s silly, but I totally love postcards and would like to make my own. Besides, that would be another good way of getting some money out of these people invading my riding tracks.

I want to take some nice photographs and turn them into postcards, but the thing is, I lost the memory card to my digital camera and every time I’m on my way to the store, it’s closed. I already ordered a card online and paid for it – it only needs to be picked up. Do you think that you could do that for me?

Objectives: Pick James’ memory card up at the shop and deliver it to him.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 25 with Fort Pinta

This is the point where we learn that James is an incredibly scatterbrained and lazy person… But that just means more money for you!

The store with the memory card is only a few feet away. Collect the card and return to James.

james

Finally! You have my memory card. Thanks!

Quest completed

______________

One-hour Photo

james

Hey, who am I kidding? I don’t have time to take the photographs either. Maybe you could do that for me, too? And then I’ll turn them into postcards!

Here is the camera. Ride around for a while in the area and shoot some nice views and stuff. That would be a great help!

Objectives: Take five pictures that James can use for making postcards.

Rewards: 28 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 35 with Fort Pinta

Ride to the highlighted areas, and use the camera from your inventory.

It’s funny when your horse photobombs the picture.

james

These are awesome! You know what, why don’t you keep taking photos for me whenever you return here? The tourists will go crazy for these!

Quest completed

______________

Trying Out the Fort Pinta Track

james

You know what, you really deserve to try out my riding track. I really think you should, actually – it’s totally great.

Objectives: Race the Fort Pinta track.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 45 with Fort Pinta

This one is a little tougher than the Wild Bobcat track, and there are obstacles, that avoiding will take more time, but once you learn how to jump the track becomes quite easy.

james

Sweet, seems you’re a good racer AND a great photographer.

Quest completed

One more character to meet today, Mary, up at the Abbey.

Mary Had a Little…

mary

Stop! Stop! Brave rider, you must help me! My little lamb Twinky got scared and ran away this morning. She ran off into the fields somewhere to the west, I think I can hear her bleating in terror from time to time. I can’t leave this place, I think I will faint if I take even a single step, but if you could find my little Twinky for me I would be so happy. Oh, I hope the wolves won’t find her before you… She must be so scared…

I know! You should pick some fresh grass and give to her, that’s her favorite food! That should calm her down and make her follow you or at least going at my direction. Feed her more tasty grass and she will follow you!

Objectives: Find Mary’s lamb that has leapt over the fence. Pick fresh grass and give to her to make her follow you.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP, Training Pants

Reputation: 35 with Moorland Stable

You don’t need to pick ALL of the grass, I got the lamb home with eight pieces.

She’s pretty easy to find, she’s in the field west of Jarl’s Road going north.

mary

You found her! You are truly the bravest of the brave! To go forth into the unknown fields of Moorland, face unspeakable horrors and return unscathed with the helpless and innocent, asking for nothing in return. You are truly a Moorland Champion; I shall put in a petition for the town hall to build a statue in your likeness! In solid gold! Thank you dear rider, thank you!

Quest completed

Aww, shucks, you’re too kind!
