To the Old Mine

andy

Is Gretchen missing? She promised me she would go straight home. I hope nothing has happened to her… She said she was going to take the road past the old mine near here on her way home. She was eating a bunch of caramels and was dropping the wrappers as she went… So you can probably just look for the wrappers to follow where she went. 

Hope you find her Rita. Good luck!

Objectives: Gretchen said she would have a look at the old mine before she went home. Start looking there.

Do not go towards the tree. The ruin is outside the second wall. The ruins are in the lower corner of the Scarecrow Hill area. Gretchen is inside the ruin.

gretchen

Boohoo! Sniff…

Rita! You found me! I’m so happy to see you!

Sniff… I was on my way home when I saw a broken bridge and then there was a scary tree that I wanted to look at and then an iron gate and then the sky was red and then a scary witch chased me and then I hid here and was terrified! Then you showed up…

From the Witches to the Riding Arena

gretchen

Sniff… I don’t want any more adventures, Rita. I just want to get home to Mom and Dad.

If I want to ride on the back of your horse? I don’t think so… The witches might pick me off! But maybe you can lure them away so when I run out of here, they chase after you instead?

Ride out of here and I’ll sneak away and we’ll meet at the riding arena.

Let’s go finish our horseshoes with Conrad.

Last Blacksmithing Day…

conrad_marsdeen

Hello Rita! Today is the last day of work on your new horseshoes. Listen carefully and follow my instructions. Are you ready to start?

Objectives: Use the tongs and the hammer to carry out the tasks Conrad gives you. Be careful and listen closely!

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP, Your Own Handmade Horseshoes

Reputation: 5 with Keepers of Aideen

This is the last time working with the horseshoes. Follow Conrad’s directions, then speak with him when you are finished.

conrad_marsdeen

Excellent work Rita! Now your horseshoes are ready. They are really the best quality and should make all the other riders green with envy. I can feel the energy in them all the way over here!

Rita, here you are. Your very own horseshoes… Made by you! You won’t find more powerful horseshoes than this anywhere on this side of Jorvik!

Quest completed

With that done, let’s go help Ydris with his tent.

Project: Circus Tent

ydris

Welcome back to my soon-to-be-ready carnival! The Fool is almost ready with the parts so now we can get started with putting up the tent! This is going to be a fantastic carnival… You’ll see! You are not going to regret helping us  out, I can promise you that. Ask the Fool for the things so we can get started. He will tell you what you need to do so we can get started. If he is really ready to go…

Objectives: Speak with the Fool.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Go and speak with the Jester about what needs to be done next.

jester

I’ve worked all night to get these poles ready. “Everything must be perfect,” says the great Ydris. Now they are perfect and ready to go.

Quest completed

______________

Put Up the Support Poles

ydris

Let’s get started! The three central, load-bearing poles need to be put up. They have to be solid as the whole circus tent will be hanging on them. Even the smallest problem could make the whole circus tent collapse… And that would be bad… I’ve heard about that happening. Here, take the masts and place them out on the field where they should go.

Objectives: Place the three tent poles on the field beside Ydris’s wagon.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Take the three poles and set them up in the indicated areas. Speak with Ydris when you are done.

ydris

That is looking good, even if those are actually masts… Are they stable? Let’s hope they are. Now we can go on to the next step.

Quest completed

______________

The Outer Poles

jester

Aha. Take these five outer poles and place them in a ring around the three center poles. Watch that they don’t give you splinters!

Objectives: Place the five poles in place in a circle around the large center poles.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Set up the poles, then speak with Ydris.

ydris

This is continuing to look promising. Let’s keep steaming! Not bad for a mere mortal.

Quest competed

______________

Tent Pegs

jester

Yes, now we have the five pegs to stake out in a ring around the ones you already put out. These are used to anchor and tighten the ropes. They need to be very secure so be sure to knock them in hard!

I’ll begin to attach the ropes…

Objectives: Place out the five pegs that will be used to anchor the ropes.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Put out the pegs in the indicated areas, then speak with Ydris.

ydris

You can almost imagine the circus now? Right? I hope they Fool attaches the ropes properly when you are gone… It doesn’t look promising.

Quest completed

______________

Flag on the Top!

ydris

While the Fool carries on wrestling with the ropes, maybe you can put up the three flags? Here, take the flags that you picked up from the tailor earlier and run the up the three large poles.

Objectives: Raise the flag on the three masts. They need to go all the way to the top!

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Approach each pole and click the arrow button on the screen to raise the flag. When you are done with all three flags, speak with Ydris.

ydris

Lovely. Stately. Magnificent! But… What is the Fool doing over there?!

Quest completed

______________

This is Embarrassing

ydris

Huh? Mamma mia! The Fool is stuck in the rope. This is embarrassing. I hope nobody sees this. He can’t seem to manage even my simplest requests. Sometimes I wonder if he does things like this only for the amusement of others. 

Objectives: Untangle the Fool.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Well, he is a fool…

quest-tangled_fool

Untangle the Fool from the ropes, then speak with Ydris.

ydris

Well. I don’t think anyone saw us. Now we’ll just try and forget it ever happened. That goes for you too, Fool. We are never going to speak about this again. No, you can’t make a fool of yourself even if you are a fool.

Quest completed

Return to Ydris tomorrow.

Let’s go see the tourists in Fort Pinta. They are having a crisis.

Gretchen is Missing

gunther
