distraction and deception, eviction of g, get out of firgrove, gretchen, helga, mr franklin, mr kembell, new residents of firgrove, thank you for everything, where are the barrels

Let’s go see what the test from your samples showed.

Eviction of G

mr_franklin

You were absolutely right. The contents of that jar you gave me were incredibly dangerous. That crook Mr Kembell is trying to dispose of toxic waste here in Firgrove woods. It is as illegal as it could possibly be. Now we can evict him and see that he leaves here for good… and quick.

Everyone, to the cottage! Rita, we’ll see you there.

Objectives: Meet the councilman at Mr Kembell’s cottage.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Firgrove

Ride to Mr Kembell’s cottage and meet everyone there.

mr_kembell

Barrels? What barrels? I don’t know what you are talking about. This is slander! I will sue you for everything you own Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Where Are the Barrels?

mr_franklin

Rita, what is the meaning of this? Where are all the barrels you were talking about?

Objectives: Speak with Mr Kembell

Reward: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Firgrove

It’s just Mr Kembell being a snake, again.

mr_kembell

Barrels? You are beginning to be a little crazy, Rita. Ha ha. I promise, when my lawyers and I finish with you, a stick of gum will be too expensive for you. Ha ha ha!

Quest completed

______________

Distraction and Deception

gretchen

Rita, psst! I have a great idea that I should get them all to look at me so you can sneak away and find where all the barrels have gone then come back here and show them that I have really learned my lessons well at spy school right right right right?

Are you ready?

Of course I saw when he was moving all those barrels as I was watching so I saw him carry a lot of them to the barn up there behind the house so they still have to be up there, don’t you think?

Are you sure you are ready?

HELLOOO EVERYONE LOOK AT MEEE! I saw a moose in the woods over there I promise it was SUPER big and had a horn of gold that glittered in the sun so that I was almost blinded as if I had stared into a flashlight that shone as bright as the sun that is really a star in a galaxy that is called the Milky Way that you can see in the sky sometimes but not now… That rode on a hose… Almost like a cat but more square in shape… If you think a little little horse but not quite…

Objectives: Look for barrels of waste around Mr Kembell’s cottage.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 5 with Firgrove

While Gretchen has everyone distracted, sneak through the fence and go up to the barn behind Mr Kembell’s cottage, to find the hidden barrels. When you have found the barrels, return to the gates to show everyone that you found them.

mr_kembell

What is that? Barrels full of waste? In my barn?

I don’t know what you are talking about? I haven’t done anything!

Stop lying? I’m not lying… Those might be my barrels…

But you all would have done the same as me, you know it! I got one thousand Jorvik Shillings for every barrel I hid… There is nobody who wouldn’t have taken that deal! If the waste ran out into the environment? Bah… Who cares about that? I’m gong to pave all of Jorvik, just wait!

Quest completed

______________

Get Out of Firgrove

mr_kembell

Grrr… How can I have such bad luck? It is always Rita that ruins my plans.

Next time Rita, next time…

mr_franklin

Well done Rita!

New Residents of Firgrove

mr_franklin

Rita, it was very lucky you could help us with Mr Kembell. Otherwise this might have gone very badly. But what should we do now?

Hmmm…

Gunther and Helga, house that was owned by Mr Kembell is now owned by Firgrove Village, it is now in my power to do with it what I think is for the best. Are you interested in living here in Firgrove? We would like you to take the house as thanks from all the residents of Firgrove.

Oh, dear councilman. Danke shon. Danke shon, how can we possibly thank you?

This is just fantastic Gunther, it is even nicer than the pictures we saw of the house we thought we were buying. 

Mr Councilman, we would be pleased to accept your offer and promise to be good residents of your fine village.

Quest completed

______________

Thank You for Everything

helga

Rita, danke so much. How could we possibly repay you? We can promise you this, if you ever need help in the future all you have to do is ask.

The tourists have some big news to share.

Newcomers

helga

Guten tag Rita!

Do you know what has happened? We have bought a summer home here on Jorvik! Fantastic isn’t it! We are so unbelievably happy, even we haven’t seen it yet. Bought it without seeing it yet? I know, you should never do that but the estate agent was just so nice and friendly and he promised us that everything would be fine. He bought us coffee and ice cream at the disco and we knew we could just trust him one hundred percent.

Do you think you could help us with the last couple things? Here is the signed contract, we only need to mail it and the deal is done. Can you take it directly to Derek in Silverglade? This is so important, we don’t want to trust it to the regular mail. Imagine if it got lost on the way there?

Great! Come and meet us at the summer cottage later, it is up in Hollow Woods.

Auf wiedershen!

Objectives: Ride to Derek in Silverglade Village and have him post the contract.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Bring the contract to Derek at the post office in Silverglade.

derek

Hello Rita! A contract to be sent? No problem.

Quest completed

______________

A Renovation Project

derek

So Gunther and Helga have bought the cottage in Hollow Woods? Are you sure it was there? The only cottage I know there is the burnt down cottage that the mayor owned.

You are going to meet them in Hollow Woods? You aren’t sure where?

Check at the burnt down cottage first and if you are lucky you will find them there. Or… Lucky for you… Bad luck for them…

Objectives: Find Gunther and Helga in Hollow Woods.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Fort Pinta

Ride to the abandoned summer home in Hollow Woods. Poor little tourists…

helga

Nein! What is this here Rita? This is a ruin… Not at all like the estate agent described it.

Oh no. What are we going to do?

Quest completed

______________

We Have Been Fooled

helga

Verdammt! We have been completely fooled Rita. What should we do? Find the agent? How? I’m sure he is long gone by now.

What did he look like? Very nice in a suit and everything. Mr Kembell was his name. Have you met him before? A real crook you say?! Oh Rita, we are never going to get our money back.

You are going to find him? Oh thank you Rita! Look in Fort Pinta… Maybe you can find some clues as to where he is there.

Objectives: Ride to Fort Pinta and see if you can find any clues to where Mr Kembell might be.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Fort Pinta

Speak with the Security in Fort Pinta to see if he knows anything about where Mr Kembell went.

security

Mr Kembell? Never heard of him. What did he look like?

Quest completed

______________

A Clue

security

Slimy, dressed in a suit, with an evil grin?

Aha, Mr Kettle! He was nice! He told me he had been a general before, but now he was working as a real estate agent. He wondered if I would be interested in an old army bunker. I have checked with the bank and I could get the money I need! I thought I would sign a contract with him the next time we met, but I haven’t seen him for a while. Imagine Rita, my OWN bunker!

WHAT!! A con-artist? Not the general?!?

That was… How is it possible… Fool me? Are you sure?

Oh, what a traitor! Are you going to catch him? He was sitting in there by the DJ booth and worked with his papers… Look there for clues.

And you… If you find him… Let him know that his is not welcome at this disco as long as I work here!

Objectives: Look for clues about Mr Kembell at the disco. Ride back to Helga if you find anything.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Go into the disco and look around near the DJ booth. When you find a clue, ride back to Helga in Hollow Woods to show her what you found.

helga

He wasn’t there? Typical.

A business card?! Let me have a look.

Quest completed

______________

Mr Kembell’s Office

helga

Let me see…

Look Rita, there is a map on the back of the card. Somewhere south of Firgrove it says. You should look at it yourself and see if you can figure out where he lives.

Please Rita, can you find Mr Kembell and ask if we can take back the sale? That was the last of our savings… He can’t be so evil that he will steal everything we have?

Meet us at the councilman in Firgrove when you have met Mr Kembell… We are going to the councilman to see if he can help.

Objectives: Find Mr Kembell and ask him to reverse the sale to Gunther and Helga.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Fort Pinta

If you think he’s going to be so nice, you obviously don’t know Mr Kembell…

His new house is back by the bear cave in Firgrove.

You can ride the Fire Trail all the way to the end, then follow the trail north into the woods. The same trail goes all the way up to the south end of the sand pit. You can take it from there. Follow the trail past the billboard of Mr Kembell, up to his house.

mr_kembell

Oh, good day! Welcome to Mr Kembell’s Estate Agency. Best service in Jorvik! Can I perhaps interest you in a fantastic cottage in Hollow Woods?

Wait a minute… I remember you!

Rita…

Grrr… What are you doing here? Go away!

Quest completed

______________

No Returns

mr_kembell

Ha ha ha!

The contract is signed and everything is perfectly legal. There is NOTHING you can do about it this time!

All of their savings? HA HA HA! Serves them right. Stupid tourists!

You are going to speak with the councilman in Firgrove? Good luck! Another thing… When you meet him, let him know that I am here to stay.

Get out of here now before I put the dogs on you! Never come back, do you hear me!

Objectives: Ride over to the councilman in Firgrove and see if he can help to get back the money that Gunther and Helga bought the summer cottage with.

Rewards: 4 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Firgrove

Ride back to Firgrove Village and speak with Mr Franklin about the issue.

mr_franklin

Mr Kembell? What an awful man! He completely fooled us when he rented the cottage in the woods outside our village. He said that he was going to start a home for homeless dogs but instead he put barbed wire all the way around the property and brought the most awful, angry dogs I have ever seen. How awful! He also fooled those nice people, Gunther and Helga?

Quest completed

______________

There is Nothing We Can Do

mr_franklin

Sigh. Believe me Rita, there is nothing we can do. He is very clever that Mr Kembell. It is very sad to hear that he has fooled Gunther and Helga… They are such nice people and all of Firgrove could use a ray of sunshine like Gretchen to brighten up the place. 

I am sorry, Gunther and Helga, if we can’t find evidence that he has done something illegal, there is nothing we can do. 

Objectives: Tell Gunther and Helga that they are not going to get their savings back.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

Here we are, the harbinger of bad news, again…

helga

Sigh. So we might not get any of our money back?

An Unexpected Turn

helga

Rita, can you keep a secret? You promise?

Good!

Gunther, we can trust Rita, right? It is time for her to find out who we really are…

It seems the tourists have a secret…

gunther

Our secret… There is nobody who knows… Shhh…

Quest completed

______________

We Are All Spies

gunther

Wait… Good, nobody can hear us. Come closer Rita, so I can tell you…

We are here as tourists, but that isn’t everything we are… Back home in Germany… Well… We are spies.

Shhh! Nobody can know about it.

Listen. We really want to remain incognito here on vacation and get away from smuggling codes, disarming bombs, or going to exclusive balls with the president, and getting attacked by ninjas. Sometimes we just want to sit on a log and smell the grass… Do you understand?

You can’t tell anyone about this… It is so calm and nice here on Jorvik.

But… We are going to have to take a break from our vacation. We’ll need to use some of our spy techniques to get to the bottom of this little problem with that slimeball Mr Kembell.

If you can find any good hiding places beside his cottage, Helga and I will spy on him and see if we can find any traces of illegal activity. 

Meet us at the start of the road to Mr Kembell’s cottage later. Good luck!

Objectives: Ride to Mr Kembell’s cottage and see if you can find any good hiding spots for Gunther, Helga, and Gretchen. Meet the family at the start of the road to Mr Kembell’s cottage later.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Go back to Mr Kembell’s cottage and poke around in the bushes and near trees that are around the outside of the fence. When you have found some suitable places, meet the tourists near the billboard.

gunther

Hello Rita. Have you found any good hiding places that you think will work? Great!

Agent Y9 and Agent B2, also known as Helga and Gretchen, Rita, I am Agent B1…

Agent Y9, Agent B2, are you ready for a little nighttime spy work? Good!

We’ll see you tomorrow Rita, we’ll begin surveillance of Mr Kembell as soon as it gets dark enough.

Quest completed

Return to Agent B1, aka Gunther, tomorrow.

Tyra has finished building the doghouse for Techno.

A House for the Dog

tyra

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

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

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

tyra

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

Quest completed

______________

As Thanks for the Help

baroness

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

Objectives: Talk to the Baroness.

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

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

The Baroness will give you her gift.

baroness

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

Quest completed

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

Why is the Gate Still Closed?

council_man

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

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

The Council Man will tell you more about the gate.

council_man

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

Quest completed

______________

Reason for Opening the Gate

council_man

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

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

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

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

Quest completed

______________

A Fake Idea!

self

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

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

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

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

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

council_man

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

That is brilliant!

Quest completed

______________

Question of the Camera

council_man

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

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

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

james

Hmmm… You want to borrow my camera?

Quest completed

______________

Key Photo

james

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

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

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

derek

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

Quest completed

______________

Printed Photo

derek

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

Objectives: Take the photo to the Council Man.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

council_man

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

Quest completed

______________

Can You Forge a Key?

council_man

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

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

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillngs, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

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

conrad_marsdeen

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

Quest completed

______________

More Iron Ore

conrad_marsdeen

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

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

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Keepers of Aideen

Well, off you go!

conrad_marsdeen

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

Quest completed

______________

A Little Blacksmith’s Apprentice

conrad_marsdeen

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

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

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

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

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

When you’re done, speak with Conrad again.

conrad_marsdeen

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

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

The Council Man in Silverglade Village has news for you.

In Your Face Old Man!

council_man

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

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

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

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

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

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

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

ARRGH!

Quest completed

______________

A Threatening Greeting

mr_kembell

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

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

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

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

And the award for the biggest crybaby goes to…

council_man

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

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

Oh, Mr Kembell, what did you do now??

When you’ve inspected the damage, return to the Winery and speak with the Baroness.

tyra

Did it go well? All graffiti is gone? And the garbage bag was big enough? Great work, Rita. I talked to the Baroness meanwhile and we have a plan.

Quest completed

Return to Tyra tomorrow.

Let’s see if the Baroness has made any progress with the serial numbers.

The Oil Drill Scandal

baroness

Dear Rita. I might actually rescue something of my poor grape harvest… I just got a very interesting message from my son Aaron at the Jorvik Council. Regarding to the Oil Drill Establishment, the serial numbers you found at Mr Kembell’s drills are listed as stolen goods!

I want you to ride to Mr Kembell and tell him that I, the Baroness of Silverglade, will kick his butt and destroy all his business worldwide if he immediately doesn’t stop drilling at the Everwind fields.

Objectives: Talk to Mr Kembell.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 250 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

This is some serious business when butts are on the line…

Go see Mr Kembell out at the Everwind oil field.

mr_kembell

WHAT!?! You are here again and you dare to threaten me?! You really make me very very angre, little girl… GRRRRRRRRR!

Quest completed

______________

Temporary Drill-Break

mr_kembell

Ok, you evil little child… You win again but just for now. I know there must be a mistake with the serials but I can’t let the baroness destroy my reputation. Tell her I will stop drilling for now until I have sorted things out.

You really are a pain… My reputation may be ruined by the immature acts of a stupid child. No one should fool me, but you did it twice!

Objectives: Talk to the Baroness.

Rewards: 55 Jorvik Shillings, 250 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Manor

And the prize for Jorvik’s biggest drama queen goes to….

Ahhh Mr Kembell. Always has enough melodrama to count for the rest of us.

Return to the Manor and tell the Baroness the good news.

baroness

He was mad? Haha, I can imagine that. I wish I could have seen his face. I can hear the drilling has stopped. Well done girl, you have saved me a lot of trouble and maybe saved me a lot of money.

Quest completed

With that business completed, let’s go see what Alex has to say about what we’ve found in the old book.

Looking for Clues

alex

Look, before we go to Firgrove to do any more research on this John Sandman, we should try to find out where Linda has gone. Maybe we can find some clues if we search the area.

Objectives: Search the environment for clues on Linda’s whereabouts.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

There are three clues to find, all located behind the stable; Linda’s glasses, cellphone, and a page from her book.

alex

This is so strange… Exactly; if Linda would have left willingly she hardly would have left her glasses and mobile phone behind. And what do you have there…? A book page? Oh, look – it’s from Peter Pan… Wait – that’s Linda’s favorite book!

Quest completed

______________

The Lead in the Phone

alex

I got the phone turned on. Let’s check the text messages… Ok, the latest one says: “Meet me behind the stable tonight at 7 pm and I will tell you the truth. Come alone.” Wasn’t it behind the stable you found Linda’s belongings?

There’s no name of the sender, but we could try calling this number and see who picks up. Will you do it? The phone is on the table next to you.

Objectives: Call the telephone number to see who it belongs to. The hone is on the table next to Alex.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

The phone is on the picnic table next to the sample comparing machine.

phone

“Yes, this is Godfrey the butler speaking. Who am I talking to? Hello…? Hello?”

Quest completed

______________

Blaming the Butler

alex

Was that Godfrey?! Well, he obviously has something to do with this. Freaky… We should go talk to him; maybe this is a misunderstanding. I sure hope it is.

Objectives: Find Godfrey the butler and ask him about the text message.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Hurry to the butler!

godfrey

Miss. What is it? I’m in a big hurry, if you’ll please excuse me. I need to… What? You called me from Linda’s phone? Must be a misunderstanding… Huh. I really can’t stay and chat, you see. I most certainly can’t. Goodbye, miss.

Quest completed

______________

Page Trail

alex

He left without answering your questions. This is getting stranger and stranger.

You think the items and the book page Linda dropped can be the first part of a trial? Hey, that may be it! You’re clever, Rita! Maybe the trail will lead us to Linda? You should follow it.

Objectives: Follow the trail of book pages.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

The trail starts behind the stable where you found the first book page.

When you’ve reached the end of the trail, return to Alex.

alex

I see, the trail ends at the castle. Is that where she is, then? In the castle? It makes no sense at all, if you ask me. What? Yeah, that’s right – there have been rumors about a girl crying in the tower. But could that actually be… you know… her?

Quest completed

______________

Cry to Me

alex

You know what, I need to run some errands, but here’s a really good recording machine. Why don’t you ride to the castle and wait until the crying starts – if it does, I mean – and try to get it on tape? Then we can listen to it together and decide whose voice it is.

Objectives: Use the recording machine to record any sounds from the tower.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride up to the castle gate to use the recorder.

alex

Did you hear anything? Got it on tape? Ok, let me just listen to this.

Quest completed

______________

It’s Linda

alex

That’s Linda’s voice. Yes, I’m sure of it. Godfrey must be keeping her locked in there for some reason. You need to confront the Baroness with this; she has to let us in the castle! The baroness is outside the vineyard, please ride there and talk to her.

Objectives: Go to the castle and confront the baroness.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 45 with Keepers of Aideen

The Baroness is actually still at the vineyard like Alex says. Go speak with her immediately!

baroness

Excuse me? I’m not letting anybody in. You don’t know what you are talking about, little girl. What happens in this castle is none of your business. You should learn to keep your little worries to yourself, or else something unfortunate may happen to you, too.

Quest completed

Return to Alex tomorrow.

Looks like the Baroness isn’t going to budge. In the meantime let’s go make some new friends in Valedale.

The Valedale Stable

sophie

New in Valedale, huh? This place is not exactly a metropolis,  but at least we’ve got a stable. It’s over there; you should go take a look. Nice to meet you, by the way!

Objectives: Go to the Valedale stable and have a look.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 45 with Valedale

Go talk to the stable girl Claire.

claire

Hi, there! Claire’s the name. You feel like working? In that case you’ve come to the right place, girlfriend! Look at the notice board to see what I need help with. I hope you’ll enjoy yourself while in Valedale. This village may be small… but it has a big personality!

Quest completed

______________

Show Me the Track

claire

If there’s a riding track here? Sure there is! We have an excellent cross-country trail here in Valedale. It’s in the eastern valley and looked after by Mr Andersson, the gamekeeper.

Objectives: Talk to Mr Andersson in the eastern valley about trying out the Valedale cross-country track.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 55 with Valedale

To get to the track, cross the bridge east of the stable and take the Silversong trail south a little bit past the two houses on that side of the river. Immediately past the houses, there’s a trail on the left heading into the mountains. Follow the trail up to the track.

mr_andersson

Well, hello there, little lady! Have you come to use the trail? I’m glad. Makes me feel like someone appreciates my work here, ha ha. Go ahead, go on! And ride carefully, miss. I don’t want to clean up your blood, eh! I’m joking, I’m joking. Have fun, miss.

Quest completed

______________

The Famous Valedale Track

mr_andersson

What’s the horse’s name? Run like the wind, Summerblaze!

Let’s start out by finishing the quest with Barney from the day before, so that we can feed the birds!

Amazing Grains

barney

Here is the grain. Now bring that back to Steve and the birds.

Objectives: Bring the grain to Steve.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Do as Barney says and take the grain back to Steve.

steve

Wonderful! My birds can finally eat to their hearts content.

Quest completed

______________

Feeding the Birds

steve

Would it be too much to ask if you fed the birds as well? Just put the grain on the bird tables and they will flock around you. I think some birds are fleeing from the Everwind Fields since G.E.D. has started to drill for oil over there. Poor birds.

Objectives: Put the grain on the bird stables to feed the birds.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

The bird tables are scattered around the farm. Place the grain from your inventory onto the bird tables.

steve

Look how happy they are. I must say that you make an excellent bird feeder.

Quest completed

Donald the Tailor needs some help!

I Need More Wool!

donald

Rita! How are you? Now that you’re here, perhaps you could do me a favor. After this harsh winter I need to make a lot of warm jackets for people. You see, I’m out of wool at the moment, and as a tailor I depend on wool to make fabrics and thread to make clothes with. You should be able to get some more wool from the shepherd, Landon. Please run this errand for me, will you?

Objectives: Find the shepherd and ask him for some wool.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

The easiest way to get to the shepherd is to take the road north out of Silverglade Village, and after the large hill, take a right and he’s in the little field beyond.

landon

Well hello! What? You’ve come for wool? Oh, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you; I haven’t had time to shear the sheep yet. I’ve been too busy watching over them. I’m awfully afraid they’ll run away, you see, and that would be such a tragedy, don’t you think? I couldn’t stand losing another one of them.

Quest completed

______________

How to Shave a Sheep

landon

If it’s very important I could of course lend you some sheep shears and in that way you could shear the wool off them yourself. Do you want to help me with that?

Yes? You are a feisty young lady, I must say! Here you go then; take these sheep shears and cut off as much wool as you want.

Objectives: Use the sheep shears to cut wool from four sheep.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

You only need to shear four sheep so you can choose any four you want to shear.

landon

Nice work. Perhaps you should consider becoming a sheep farmer yourself some day? I work for the Baroness of Silverglade, do you know her? No? Ok, I guess you will meet her soon and probably start work for her like everybody else around here.

Quest completed

______________

Wool for the Tailor

landon

Say hello to Donald for me, will you? Now I’ve got to return to watching the sheep. I almost thought one of them was going, there, for a while. The Baroness would not be happy if I lost one… She is very upset right now over the new oil drilling project at the Everwind Fields.

Objectives: Take the wool to Donald, the tailor.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Donald is waiting for you.

donald

Beautiful! Looks like this wool has been cut off by a true professional and the sheep look great!

Quest completed

Looks like Harold needs help with something again.

Cookies to the Castle

harold

Once a month we deliver a jar of cookies to the castle. These are cardamom cookies; greatly appreciated by the Baroness. Will you take them there, please? Ride there on that beautiful horse of yours and it will take you no time at all.

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards for this one, sorry!

Take the cookies to the front gate of the castle.

self

“Nobody is answering the door. There’s nothing to do but head back to the shop. Unless you want to taste one of those cardamom cookies… they smell rather divine.”

Quest completed

______________

No Cookies to the Castle

self

“As nobody is answering the door, it seems the best thing to do is head back to the shop.”

Objectives: Return to the shop with the cookies.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Take the cookies back to Harold. And try not to eat any on the way back…

harold

The castle was closed? Nobody answered the door? You know, lately there’ve been some rumors circling around about that place. Someone said they heard what sounded like a girl crying from inside the building. Frankly, I don’t know what to think. The Baroness has seemed… anxious, lately.

Quest completed

______________

Bottles for the Butler

harold

If I have heard the crying? I can’t say I have. Actually, it kind of sounds like a silly ghost story to me. But hey, you could always ask the Baroness yourself when you see her.

The Baroness is the owner of the Silverglade Manor and the vineyards, you see. Her family, the Silverglades, run way back in history. They have been the most influential family in Jorvik since, I don’t know for how long, maybe hundreds of years.

Here are some wine bottle samples that the Baroness has requested. See if can deliver them to the butler, he should be at the winery. Ride carefully! The bottles are fragile.

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards for this one, sorry!

Take the gate out of the north of Silverglade Village and follow the road to the west to get to the winery.

godfrey

Miss? Oh, the bottle samples, very good. Thank you. What? Yes, the winter has been hard indeed, for the manor as well. How the Baroness is? You heard that she was very busy – I see. Well, one could say that; she’s had a lot on her mind lately with the G.E.D. exploiting the land and all. She’s building a new race track as well, which of course takes a lot of time and effort. But I’ll see that she gets these. Certainly, miss. Good bye.

Quest completed

______________

The Very Noble Stable

godfrey

Pardon? A stable? Why of course we have a stable here; the Silverglade Equestrian Center – the noblest stable in Jorvik, miss! You come from Moorland? Well, you should indeed pay a visit to the Equestrian Center; it houses some of the best performing horses on the island.

Why don’t you speak to Linda… hold on… what am I saying – not Linda! Ha, ha! Not Linda, miss. There are other stable girls over there, however. I think one of them is called Judy. Judy will be able to help you.

Objectives: Talk to Judy at the Silverglade Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Suspicious, at the very least. I’ll be back to you later Mr Godfrey…

Ride over to the stable and speak with Judy.

judy

Hi Rita! Of course I know who you are, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Judy by the way. I spoke to Thomas Moorland earlier and he told me that you and Summerblaze are really great together, like you truly bonded. That makes me happy since Summerblaze is the horse I used to ride when I first started out as a stable girl at Moorland. He’s a wonderful horse and deserves a rider that understands him.

Anyway, we’re short on people here since Linda went away. Thomas said that if you happened to come by, I could ask you if you would be willing to help out a bit here.

Quest completed

______________

Help the Equestrian Center

judy

Have you met the Baroness yet? No, it doesn’t surprise me. She’s been acting almost hysterical lately – when you actually see her, that is. It seems like she’s spending more and more time inside the castle, God knows what she is doing.

Will you please help out the stables until Thomas needs you again?

Objectives: Talk to Judy at the Silverglade Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Tell Judy you can help out in the stables.

judy

Thank goodness you said yes! Ok, so what we need you to do is give the horses hay and water, groom them and muck out the boxes. You can do this whenever you feel there’s the need. You’ll find detailed information on the notice board in the yard. I will be around if you need anything, but I doubt that you will have any problems. You look like a smart girl.

Quest completed

______________

Inspect the Water Pipes

judy

What we acutely need help with though, are the water pipes for the irrigation system in the fields. We just turned the water on and now the pipes are leaking. They must have broken down during the winter by the cold.

Do you think you could try to locate the leaks? Ride over there on Summerblaze, the terrain is a bit troublesome to walk on for you and me. When you find a leak, turn the knob and stop the water at that spot.

Objectives: Locate the eight leaks and turn eight knobs to stop the water.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Follow the orange highlights to the leaking pipes. All of the pipes are on the lower terrace of the vineyard, behind the stable.

judy

You found all the leaks? Fantastic! I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to have you here!

Quest completed

The next character that needs help is Carney. He is standing behind Judy next to the fence around the stable.

Testing the Soil

carney

So, I heard you were riding around and was hoping that I could ask you for a favor. The thing is, we’re doing some tests on the soil around the vineyards and the results should be ready now. Would you be so kind as to check them for me?

Objectives: Check the soil test instruments and report back to Carney.

Rewards: 22 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

The tests are in the very back fields and can most easily be reached by taking the trail next to the Manor to go behind it. There is a bridge over the little gully, and the tests are on the other side of the bridge.

When you have visited all three of the devices, return to Carney.

carney

Interesting. Very interesting. Thank you so much for helping me with this.

Quest completed

______________

Grape Sprout

carney

And you know what; could you get me a sprout from one of the grapevines as well? We’ll perform tests on that too. Use these garden shears. I did send the girl Sonja for the sprout samples, but she couldn’t find any…

Objectives: Cut off a sprout from the grapevines and return to Carney.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

The sprout can be found on the lower terrace behind the stable.

Also, if you didn’t notice, the shears Carney gives you is actually a rake…

carney

That’s it. Thank you, Rita. You are of really good help.

Quest completed

Judy needs help again.

The Riding Plumber

judy

Here are some tools that you can use to fix the water leaks you found on the pipes.

Objectives: Use the tools to fix the water leaks.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 95 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Return to the same pipes that you turned off, and fix them with the plumbing kit.

judy

Ok, great. Let’s hope that the pipes stay together for a while. We’ve got other things to do, haven’t we?

Quest completed

______________

Report to the Baroness

judy

You did a great job on the pipes, Rita. The Baroness herself was here earlier and complained about the leaks – she will be absolutely thrilled over the fact that you fixed them.

You know what, you should go over to the castle and tell her. Then you’ll get a chance to introduce yourself. The Baroness is a really good person to know around here. If you’re ever in trouble she will be able to help you with almost anything. If you make a good impression on her, that is.

Objectives: Go to the Baroness and tell her that you fixed the leaks.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 40 with Silverglade Manor

Go north past the front of the Manor and the Baroness is on the other side, in front of the wall, beside a pile of grapes.

baroness

Hello there my dear, who might you be? Rita? Oh, you work in the stable, I see. I’m delighted to hear that the leaks are fixed and that you sent the grapevines to be analyzed, very good indeed. I’m afraid you’ll have to be off now, though since I have a lot of work to get to. I’m a little stressed out at the moment as you may be able to tell.

If you could help? Well, I’m sure you can’t help more than you already did, dear; these are some big issues I’m handling right now. I’m sure you’ve already heard about the construction company doing their best to destroy my land – “Global Energy Domination”, have you ever heard such a fatheaded, ridiculous name? They actually set up an OIL FIELD next to my vineyards. and our upcoming harvest will be as poor as ever. Oh my. I feel like a terrible evil has come to this island.

Quest completed

Return to the Baroness tomorrow.

After the Baroness’ little speech it’s time to go see another person. Follow the same trail you took to get the soil tests back next to the Manor and cross the little bridge to get to the Everwind Fields.

A Familiar Unhappy Face

mr_kembell

Well, well, well… What do we have here? So we meet up again… Well, to be honest with you I am not very happy to see you again. You really ruined my plans to bring down your little stable and build my houses there. Do you have any idea how much money I lost because of you!

Are you going to try to destroy more things for me now?

Objectives: Talk to Mr Kembell.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

More Mr Kembell brand melodrama at its finest.

mr_kembell

This oil is mine and only mine! Nothing will stop me from drilling for oil here, not even you! So take your stupid horse and go away! I don’t want to see you ever again!

The game personalizes the text with your name, and so it will be different for you, but for the sake of continuity I will just insert my own name as it appears to me.

______________

The first character you meet is Justin Moorland.

A New Friend

Hi, you must be Rita. I’m Justin, pleased to meet you and welcome to Moorland Stables! My father, Thomas, and I these stables. Aren’t they fantastic?

Right now things are a bit hectic, a nasty boss from the big corporation G.E.D, Mr Kembell, is doing everything he can evict us and tear down the stable to be able to build condos here. We’re still trying to figure out what we can do to stop him, but he’s more slippery than an eel.

But forget that, you’re new here and I’m not trying to spoil your summer!

Over there is Summerblaze who will be your horse this summer. Why don’t you go for a short ride and get to know each other?

Go talk with May outside the stable in the other courtyard when you are finished. I think she knows where Jenna, the stable girl is.

Objectives: Bring your horse to the stable.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Get on your horse and follow the green dot out to the stable, through the tunnel into the next part of the Moorland Stables area.

May is a happy-go-lucky girl who always has a shovel and a sunny attitude.

Hi, I’m May, nice to meet you Rita. You know, I came here for the first time five years ago and have visited Moorland Stables every summer since then. It’s the best place to spend your vacation! Right now I’m doing some work here in the stable to earn some extra Jorvik shillings to spend. Come back here later and I’ll have some work for you to do if you want.

Oh, another thing. You can always return to the stable if you get lost. Just make a Pick Up Call and someone will come and get you wherever you are and return you here in the blink of an eye!

Quest completed

______________

Speak With The Stable Girl

Well, I don’t think there’s anything more for you to see here right now. You should go and speak to Jenna, the stable girl over there, to learn more about how things work here at Moorland Stables. Just turn south and you will see her.

Objectives: Talk to Jenna.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Again follow the green dot and speak with Jenna.

Hi Rita, there you are! I’ve been waiting for you.

Quest completed

______________

Ride the Cavaletti

Well, well, I can tell that you and Summerblaze make a good team. It seems like you have known each other for all your lives. You’re going to accomplish amazing things, mark my word!

Normally it’s Mr Moorland who introduces new visitors to the stables but he’s a very busy man at the moment so I’m filling in. I don’t know if you’ve heard but there’s this awful company called G.E.D. that wants to tear this place down and build houses on the grounds. Don’t disturb Mr Moorland unless you have to, he’s working really hard to find a way to stop that slimy Mr Kembell.

But enough about that! Even though I’m normally handling the stable duties I think I can tell you a thing or two about riding as well. Now, before I let you outside the gates you have to show me that you can ride safely. Behind me you’ll find a small track with poles laid out on the ground. This is called a Cavaletti and should be enough to prove that you know the basics of riding. Complete the track and return to me.

Objectives: Complete the Cavaletti track in the yard to the east.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Right now, you can’t gallop, so you only have to canter through the course, which is also the first race you will compete in in the game. Don’t let the race title fool you ‘Walk the Cavaletti,’ you should actually canter, not walk, or you won’t make it through the checkpoints in time. When you’ve completed the race, return to Jenna.

That was great! Good job on completing the Cavaletti. You and Summerblaze really worked as a team, keep it up. Now I think you’re ready for some more serious riding. And, as I promised, you are now allowed to gallop and go outside the Moorland Stables.

Quest completed

______________

Meeting the Bobcats

Well Rita, I think you need something a bit more challenging to do, the Cavaletti was no match for you. Outside the west stable gate is the Bobcat Girls riding club’s paddock. Go there and talk to Loretta, she’s one of their best riders and always friendly and helpful to newcomers. Ask her if she can show you how real competitions work around here and maybe she will even let you join the Bobcat Girls. They’re a great riding club.

Objectives: Find Loretta at the small paddock.

Rewards: 0 Jorvik Shillings, 25, XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Follow the green dot out of the stable to the north, and directly outside the gate you’ll find Loretta on her big white horse.

What? Yes, I’m Loretta, and who are you? Not that I care… Rita? That’s your name? Really. Well, it sounds very… very pretty and intelligent. Oh my… Rita. I bet your horse’s name is just as lame. I bet it’s like… Puffyheart or something. Summerblaze? Ha! I’m psychic!

So what are you doing here, anyway? Jenna told you I was going to teach you how to compete? Great. You know what, actually I’m kind of bored right now, so why not. You and Puffyheart should try racing some in the paddock. Who knows, maybe it’ll make me smile. At your fantaaaastically faaaaast speed. I can already tell that you’ll never make into the club.

Quest completed

______________

I Will Show Them

You’re still here? I thought I told you that you could try out our paddock already. What is it you don’t understand? Come on already! Get to the starting line!

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards of this one, sorry!

Here’s the second race you’ll do in Moorland, ‘I Will Show Them’ race. It’s quick and simple, and it doesn’t really impress Loretta. Though, not much does, except Justin Moorland.

Return to Loretta when you’ve completed the race.

Ok, that wasn’t too bad for a beginner. I’ll admit that I wasn’t super good at controlling my horse when I first came here, either. All that will change when you get more experienced and acquire better equipment. You’ll never be a Bobcat Girl however, that’s for sure.

Quest completed

The next character you’ll meet is another Bobcat Girl, Tan. She is standing next to Loretta outside of Moorland Stables.

The Moorland Stables Riding Track

Hi, I’m Tan. Loretta showed you how to race in the paddock, but now I’ll show you how the Bobcat Girls like to ride for real. This might be tough for a newcomer like you but take it slow if you have to, you’re not a pro rider like us. I don’t think you’ll ever be able to beat our high scores, you don’t look like you have what it takes, but you’re welcome to try. Watch out for the G.E.D. construction site, horses are scared of construction machines so don’t get too close.

Objectives: Complete the race as fast as you can.

Rewards: 0 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 55 with Moorland Stable

So begins the first daily race that you can do in the game. And believe me when I tell you the Bobcat Girls are full of it when they say this is the hardest race in the game. They get harder, and longer.

Complete the quick race and return to Tan.

Hmm… Ok. That wasn’t amazing but you did well. You are still far from our real high scores, but that’s only natural. You see, if that felt difficult or slow or whatever, just wait until you and Summerblaze have spent some more time on the riding tracks around here – Summerbalze will get much faster. It will feel like another horse! Not to get your hopes up – the Bobcat Girls can’t be beaten. If you want to try anyway, you can, but only once a day. We don’t want newcomers like you messing up our track for nothing!

Returning to Justin

Hi Rita, Justin is looking for you. He probably just needs some newcomer to muck out the stables. You’ll find him in the courtyard behind the stable. Don’t let him wait!

Just a minute! One more thing: keep away from Justin. He’s mine and nobody will ever come between us. Not that there’s any chance that he would ever be interested in… somebody like you.

Objectives: Find Justin Moorland in the stable courtyard.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP, Novice Riding Jacket

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Self explanatory. Heed Loretta’s threat.

Go talk to Justin in the courtyard.

Rita! There you are. I was looking for you.

Quest completed

______________

Collect The Tools

It’s nice to see you again. I hope everyone has been nice you here. Don’t mind Loretta, she can be a bit harsh sometimes but she’s nice once you get to know her, even if it’s hard to believe.

Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about how taking care of your horse works. Let’s start with getting all the tools that we need. I want you to bring me a brush for grooming, a hoof scraper for scraping hooves, some hay for food, and a bucket of water for Summerblaze to drink. Bring all this to me and I’ll show you how to use it.

Objectives: Find a brush, a hoof pick, a water bucket and some hay and bring the tools to Justin.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

This is how picking up items works in the game. There will be an orange highlight on your map where the item is located. In the game world, the item will also have an orange sparkle floating around it. Simply walk up to it and click to pick it up.

When you have picked up all of the tools, return to Justin.

Yes, those are the tools you will need. Good job!

Quest completed

______________

Get Started With Your Duties

Now let’s get to it. Here’s what you do now. Get off your horse. Open your inventory and use the tools on Summerblaze, one at a time. Once you’ve done this your horse will feel better and become happier. If you do this every day your horse will soon be so happy that you will actually notice that he runs faster. But if you neglect to take care of Summerblaze, he will soon become sad and perform worse than he usually does. But a responsible rider would never let that happen, that is not how we do things at Moorland Stables!

Objectives: Take care of Summerblaze. Brush him and scrape his hooves. Give him food and water. You must be unmounted when you do this.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP, Brush, Hoof Pick, Hay, Water Bucket

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

This also begins how you will use items from your inventory in the game. Click and drag an item onto your horse. If you can use it, it will be outlined in green; if not, it will be outlined in blue and pop back into your inventory. If this happens you may be too far away from your horse. Simply move closer. This applies to any item that can be used in the game. Taking care of your horse, though, requires you be within a stable. You will know you are in an area you can take of your horse when there is the little green circle swirling around your name in the upper left corner.

Use all of the items on your horse, then talk to Justin.

Good job, Rita! Listen, we always need a hand with our horses here at Moorland Stables and I know now that I can trust you with our animals. Check the notice board by the stable and see what chores there are to be done. It’s updated every day so come back often!

Quest completed

______________

A Word With Thomas

Oh, I almost forgot. I just got word from my father, Thomas, that he wants to see you. I’ve told him about the great job you are doing around here and I think that got his attention. He wants to ask you something really important, he wouldn’t tell me what it was but I could see it in his eyes that it was something special.

My father is usually working in the west part of the stable courtyard.

Objectives: Speak with Thomas Moorland, the owner of Moorland Stables.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Follow the green dot out by where you met Jenna. Thomas is nearby.

Thank you for coming so fast, Rita. The situation with Mr Kembell from G.E.D. is getting out of hand and I need your help.

Quest completed

______________

Get Them Out By Friday

This is troubling… That slimy vulture Mr Kembell has plans to evict us all and raze Moorland Stables to the ground. I just got word that he has almost convinced the city council, and I am running out of time to stop him. Even as we speak, his despicable pack of land surveyors are setting up their equipment so they can make a detailed demolition map and present to the city hall. I know that I have the legal rights to this land but I need more time to get the documents in order.

Will you help me save Moorland Stables, Rita? We need to delay Mr Kembell’s land surveyors to win some time. All you need to do is switch off their GPS equipment. Right now they are setting it up in the forest just north of Moorland Stable.

Objectives: Switch off the GPS equipment without the G.E.D. men seeing you.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 120 XP

Reputation: 25 with Moorland Stable

Follow the orange highlight on your map outside the stable walls. Click to switch off each GPS device but make sure the workers don’t see you!

It’s pretty easy, just make sure they’re not directly in front of you when you click the device. You can stand next to the device, put on your innocent face, and wait for them to walk past. Then click the device and run like hell!

Return to Thomas when you’re finished.

Splendid, good work there. I truly appreciate it. That will delay them for a while. Now I’ve got a little time to at least build my case against Mr  Kembell and the city council.

Quest completed

______________

Mission: Lights Out!

What am I going to do, Rita? Mr Kembell is really putting pressure on me about those legal documents… I’m sure I could stop him if I got just a little more time. Hmm… Maybe a little harmless sabotage on the construction site would distract him for  a while. Haha! If he wants to play rough I’ll show him that he has met his match!

Let’s see. There’s a power central at one of the power line poles, just where the road makes a turn to the construction site. There should be a switch on it turning off the power line that supports the construction site with electricity. You would even turn off the lights to that ugly, stupid advertising board as a bonus. That should buy us some valuable time.

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards of this one, sorry!

Follow the orange highlight out of the stable walls and up the road past where you turned off the GPS equipment. The light post is on the righthand side of the road.

Return to Thomas when you’ve turned off the lights.

Ha ha, that’s priceless. I think I could hear that dimwit screaming at his workers all the way here. Now I have a little more time, just what I needed. And, we don’t have to see that hideous advertising board anymore!

Quest completed

______________

The Deed of the Land

I think I know how to stop Mr Kembell. All I need is some way to prove my rights to this land. There’s a deed to the Moorland Stables which was given to my father over 50 years ago by the Baroness Silverglade – yes, she is the one residing in the castle up there.

I have looked everywhere in the office archives but I can’t find the documents anywhere. I have an idea about who could though. Our old accountant, Mrs Holdsworth, knows all about our business and is sure to know where the documents are. She retired last year and now spends her days taking care of an orchard just outside the stables. Go see her; she should be able to find the documents.

You’ll find her east of the Moorland Stables.

Objectives: Find Mrs Holdsworth east of Moorland Stables.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Mrs Holdsworth is pretty easy to find. Go out the gate in the courtyard and take an immediate right and run around the wall of the stable. You’ll find her in a cute little cottage overlooking the beach.

Well hello there dear, what can I do for you?

Quest completed

______________

Papers of the Past

Hmm… Let me think. I believe there was a deed of ownership, but it got lost some years ago. When Thomas Moorland’s wife Catherine died in childbed Thomas lost all interest in papers and documents and just wanted to spend time with his horses. All paperwork was put in a chest and sent over to Catherine’s father and there’s a great chance that the deed was in that chest. Yes – her father is Jasper Holbrook and the child that was born is Justin Moorland. Jasper blames Thomas for Catherine’s death and they haven’t spoken in twenty years. It’s a tragedy that this feud has been going on for so long, but if anyone has the deed it would be Old Man Jasper. It won’t be easy convincing him to part with it, though.

You’ll find Old Man Jasper guarding his land at the north-eastern fields. Good luck, dear!

Objectives: Find Old Man Jasper by the northeast wall; follow the road to the east to Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Follow the east most road north to find Jasper at the top of the hill.

Well you found me! And now you can leave me again!

Quest completed

______________

Old Man Jasper

Bah! What do I care if Moorland Stables is razed to the ground. That wretched place was the end of my daughter, and I curse the day my sweet Catherine and that snake Thomas met. I have hated the Moorlands for the better part of the last twenty years but if you think you can change that you’re welcome to drop by again.

Now be off my land!

Objectives: Find a way to weaken Jasper’s resolve. Maybe Justin can be helpful.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Looks like Jasper isn’t gonna budge. Return to Moorland Stable and talk to Justin.

Hey Rita! Have you been to see my grandfather? That crazy old man hates us and nothing would please him more than to see our stable razed to the ground.

Quest completed

I must say I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word ‘razed’ more times in a single sitting than I’ve ever heard it used in all my life combined.

By the way, if you didn’t know, ‘razed’ means to destroy, bulldoze, crush flat.

Return to Justin tomorrow.

May has something to tell you about consumerism.

A New Shopper in Town

How are things going, Rita? Have you visited the cool shops yet? What?! You haven’t? You must see them and check out all the awesome stuff they sell. Go visit the Gear shop, the Clothes shop and the Star shop which have the best clothes and gear you can find here at Moorland, but you need very good Reputation to shop in the Star shop.

Objectives: Go visit the three shops in the Moorland stable area.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 35 with Moorland Stable

A little street cred goes a long way with the Star shop folks.

Just walk up to the shopkeeper and if you’re close enough your cursor will turn into a little paper shopping bag when you hover over them. Click on them and the shop box will open up with all of the items currently for sale in the shop.

You don’t have to buy anything for this quest, just click on each shopkeeper to ‘visit’ their shop, then return to May when you’re finished.

That was cool, right? Well keep working on your Moorland Reputation and soon you will be able to buy very good gear and clothes. Don’t forget there are lots of other shops around in Silverglade as well.

Quest completed

Tan looks very concerned. You should go talk to her.

What Happened to Loretta?

Rita! Have you seen Loretta? No? She took a ride on the Wild Bobcat Track but never returned. I’m worried that something has happened to her but I can’t leave the paddock here, all the other Bobcats are out searching for her and I need to stay here if someone gets back with news. I know you might not like Loretta much but I really need you to help out searching for her. Please ride to the cliffs west of here and look for her! Hurry Rita!

Objectives: Find Loretta. Ride along the road to the west and ask if someone has seen her.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Take the west most road to the north. You won’t get very far before you’re stopped.

Stop! This road has been declared unsafe! You can’t walk, ride, or drive any farther. There was a huge rockslide a little while ago and large rocks have blocked the road completely. If I have seen a girl on a horse? No, but I hope for her sake that she’s not lying under the pile of boulders over there, in that case she’ll be flat as a pancake…

Mm.. Pancakes…

Huh, are you still here?

Quest completed

______________

Get a Bulldozer Over Here!

No, I can’t let you pass. Even if your friend is in danger the road must be cleared before I let you pass, those are the orders I have. So, I won’t leave this place until Mr Kembell tells me to, you don’t know what he’d do to me if he found out that I had disobeyed his orders.

Hrmpf… If it’s that important, why don’t you  go over to the construction site northeast of here and ask Mr Kembell to send the bulldozer… You’ll find Mr Kembell on the construction site, close to that beautiful, large advertising board. Bah, I don’t have time with this drivel. I’m hungry and no one’s coming to let me have my lunch! Off you go to the construction site!

Objectives: Go to the construction site in north Moorland and ask Mr Kembell to send a bulldozer.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Go back up the road you took to turn off the power to the advertising board. Go past the pole and take an immediate right. You’ll be on the construction site and Mr Kembell is towards the back, next to the bulldozer.

Ah! What have we here? A cute little stable girl dares to come all the way up here? What do you want then…? Sabotage my powerful machines in a pathetic attempt to save your little pile of boards that you call a stable? Don’t worry little girl, we will tear the stable down and build new houses all over the land that we’ll sell for fantastic amounts of money – rather excellent, isn’t it? I’ll be rich and the Moorlands won’t get a dime. I even get to watch them cry as I burn the stables down to the ground!

Oh, you’re not here to cause trouble? Really? You really want me to lend you a bulldozer? You’re funny, little girl. Ha ha ha!

Quest completed

And yes, he really is always this melodramatic.

Unpleasant Task

So you want me to send a bulldozer to clear the western road in order to rescue a friend? I really should ask you for an outrageous amount of money but you don’t look like you have it. I guess I was going to have that road cleared anyway. I’m waiting for the wrecking crew to come, and this rockslide will forces them to take a detour. But if you want my help you have to do something for me first, I never give anything away for free. You see all these ugly trees around here? They must be cut down to make room for our machines and the new buildings. Take this red marking tap and mark four trees that we will chop down. Do that and I promise I’ll send the bulldozer to clear the road.

Objectives: Mark four trees with the red tape; otherwise Mr Kembell won’t help you with the bulldozer.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 100 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

The red tape has been deposited into your inventory. Click and drag it over the tree when you’re near it, to mark the tree.

Return to Mr Kembell when you’re done.

Good girl. Maybe you should think about working for us here at the G.E.D.? We’re always looking for people willing to destroy and exploit nature. Oh, my promise? I don’t remember any promise… Ha ha ha! Shows you not to trust anyone. Anyway, I had already given the order to send the bulldozer, so one could say you did this all for nothing! See, here it goes!

Quest completed

______________

Give Tan an Update!

Off with you girlie. The bulldozer is on its way. Better to stay away while it works, so you can go and update your friends about the situation or whatever, I don’t care. Now, I must keep planning the demolition of your pathetic little stable… And don’t forget you helped me do it! Ha ha ha!

Objectives: Ride to Tan and update her about what is happening.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Damn you Mr Kembell. Fool me once, shame on me…

Also, how dare you call me ‘girlie.’ Only Steve has a right to call me that!

Rita, do you have any news about Loretta? A bulldozer is on its way to clear the rockslide, that’s good. You shouldn’t have helped the G.E.D. but that Mr Kembell is a real dirt bag, he tricked you real good. Think about it next time though, you can’t trust G.E.D. any longer than your nose.

Quest completed

______________

Search Mission Continued

The bulldozer should have cleared the road by now. Ride back there and look for Loretta. Oh, I hope she’s alright… Hurry Rita, hurry!

Objectives: Take the road to the west and find Loretta.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Moorland Stable

Ride up the west most road again and you should be able to make it to the top of the hill this time. Watch out for the boulders!

What are you doing here? Are you lost or something? Oh, Tan sent you… that was kind of her… of you. Maybe you’re ok after all. Listen, I’m sorry if I’ve been kind of hard on you. You seem ok. Thanks for the help Rita.

Quest completed

______________

A Friendly Race

Hmm, we need to go back to the stables I guess. This is boring. Let’s compete and see who gets back to the Moorland Stables first! From here and back to Tan at the paddock! Last one there is a loser. And that will be you! Let’s go!

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards for this one, sorry!

Race Loretta back to the stable. Don’t try to beat her because you won’t.

I told you I was going to win! I am the best! I am the greatest rider in the world! You will never beat me! Never! Hooray for me!

Quest completed

Alright miss snooty patooty. I heard ya the first time…

The Wild Bobcat Track

You really are improving, Rita. I think you are ready for a real challenge. Because you helped us with Loretta I’ll let you ride on the Bobcat Girls’ finest race track, the Wild Bobacat Track. It’s hard and dangerous so take it easy. Remember, you’re not a Bobacat Girl, so don’t feel bad if you don’t beat our high scores. I mean, no one can. There’s no shame in losing to the Bobcat Girls, just accept that when we’re around you’re always second best.

Objectives: Complete the Wild Bobcat Track

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 210 XP

Reputation: 55 with Moorland Stable

Watch out on this one as there are obstacles in your path. Even if you are a Star Rider, you still can’t jump at this point yet.

That was pretty good. If you’re up to it you can compete in this race again. Just speak to me again and I’ll let you have another try. Let me tell you something about racing that maybe you didn’t know, every time you compete in a race and perform well you earn reputation. Like if you do well on this track, we Bobcat Girls will see that you have skill. I’m not promising anything, but if you earn enough reputation with us maybe, just maybe, you could become a member of our club.

Quest completed

Return to Loretta tomorrow.

And now it’s off to meet probably one of my favorite characters in the game, Conrad Marsdeen.

His smithy is on the trail between the west and east roads, the Moorland Stable race goes right past it.

Tools of the Trade

Well, hello there. Greetings to you and to your fine steed. You look young and strong; maybe you could help me with a small task? Just the other day my old assistant Patrick was bringing me a shipment of the finest tools from Jorvik Stables. He was almost here when one of those dastardly Bobcat Girls came racing down the Demascus Mine road and almost rode him down! He got so scared that he ran all the way here but dropped all the tools along the way. He is not a brave man and now refuses to go back out there, so my new tools are just lying out there somewhere, rusting away. I don’t have the time to go look for them myself but maybe you could do it for me? I would be forever in your gratitude, young lady.

The shipment contained a hammer, a clincher and a shiny mine pick of the finest Jorvik steel.

Objectives: Find Conrad’s missing tools: Hammer, Clincher and Mining Pick. Look along the Demascus Mine Road.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

The tools really aren’t along the Demascus Mine road but it’s a good place to start. Follow the orange highlights on your map. They aren’t hard to find.

Return to Conrad when you find all of the tools.

Ha! You are an angel, Rita. This is indeed a great day. I am so happy that you were able to find all my tools.

Quest completed

Thus completes the quests for Day 1. There sure were a lot of them, but you got to meet the majority of the people in Moorland and learned a lot about the basic controls of the game. Return in twenty-four hours real time to continue with your quests!
