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

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

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?

Quest completed

______________

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…

Rita, speak with my husband.

Objectives: Speak with Gunther.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

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.
