donald

It’s ready now, isn’t it nice?

Objectives: The tailor is making your riding vest.

Rewards: 75 Jorvik Shillings, 150 XP, Riding Vest with Colorful Rainbows

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

Speak with Donald to get your riding vest.

donald

Here you are! Try it on, I really hope you’ll like it! Thanks for all your help.

Quest completed

With that finished, Tan has remembered another place to look for her money. Speak with her by the Moorland Stables.

The Last Place You Look

tan

Yes, I remembered that I was at the lighthouse! You know, the large green and white lighthouse east of Moorland Stable, south of Jasper’s barn. I was there and looked at the view. The money has to be there! Could you be the nicest person ever and ride there and look? I think you’ll have to search all around the lighthouse.

Objectives: Ride to the green and white lighthouse south of Jasper’s place and look for Tan’s money. Search all around the lighthouse. When you are done, return to Tan.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 20 with Moorland Stable

To get to the lighthouse, ride towards Jasper’s old house. Before you go though the stone gate, turn right off the road. The lighthouse is at the top of the hill. There are three places near the lighthouse for you to search. Go back to Tan when you have searched all of the locations.

tan

What?! Not there? But that’s the last place I can remember. What if… What if they were stolen?

Quest completed

Return to Tan tomorrow.

Let’s go check on Mrs Holdsworth and how she’s doing after her buggy predicament.

Have the Bees Moved?

mrs_holdsworth

Dear Rita! It worked They are buzzing a lot over there and my garden is free from bees. But I’m a bit worried that they will move back into their old home so I think it’s best to destroy it. Can’t you, who are sitting on a horse, examine the old nest and see to that no bees are still in there? That would be so sad!

Objectives: Examine if the old beehive is empty.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

The beehive is on the top edging of the porch on Mrs Holdsworth’s house. Check on it and speak with her again when you are done.

mrs_holdsworth

So the coast is clear? That’s a good thing. I have to go down to the cellar and get my old baseball bat. I was really good at baseball when I was young. No strikeouts here, hoho!

Quest completed

______________

To Stay Calm

mrs_holdsworth

Look here, you maybe think it’s old fashioned but when I was young this baseball bat was first class. Nowadays everything is made of plastic or aluminum. All joking aside, should we take down the old beehive before any little be wants to move back again?

Objectives: Take down the old beehive with Mrs Holdsworth’s baseball bat.

Rewards: 120 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP, A Bee Top

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Swing at that beehive with all your might, like you did at that ugly pinata your parents thought would be fun to get you for your sixth birthday, but really it just scared you.

But I digress…

Speak with Mrs Holdsworth when you have completed your task.

mrs_holdsworth

Wow, you have really strong arms, Rita! Maybe you should play baseball? I’m sure that the bees will give me good honey when it’s ready and you have to come  to me for some honey cookies and lemonade. Until then, a nice sweater for a nice friend!

Quest completed

Aww, isn’t that sweet?

There’s trouble up in Silverglade Village. Go see Felix about it.

Something Missing

felix

Do you see what I see? There. The fountain… They’re not here yet! I don’t understand. Something has to be wrong. Completely wrong… What, you can’t see anything? It’s so obvious to everyone! The disasters are piling up! Can you help me?

Objectives: Talk to Felix.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Find out what Felix is raving about.

felix

Aha, you haven’t lived here very long. I understand now. Well, the ducks are missing! There are no ducks in the fountain! It’s great that you want to help me! It is for the entire village’s sake that we must find out what happened to the ducks that swim in the fountain every summer.

Quest completed

______________

Ducks on the Run, Has Will Seen Anything?

felix

Every spring around this time, the fountain ducks come to stay all summer and swim in the cool fountain. They haven’t returned from their winter migration so I have a feeling that something has happened to them.

Will up at the mill on the hill outside the village is an avid bird watcher. He may have seen something. Can your ride up and ask him?

Objectives: Talk to Will at the mill on the hill northeast of Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Being up on such a high hill gives one quite a vantage point.

will

Hi there. What’s that? The ducks haven’t returned from their winter migration? That’s not good. All villagers like to look at the ducks during the summer as they bathe and swim in the fountain. It would be a shame if they disappeared.

Quest completed

______________

Examine the Stopover

will

I haven’t seen the ducks yet this year, but what I’ve seen in previous years is that they land one last time on Everwind Fields and rest before they head into the village and receive the people’s cheers.

Maybe you can scout the field and see if you find any clue of their whereabouts? Return to me later.

Objectives: Look for duck clues on the Everwind Fields north of Marley’s jumping paddock, west of Will’s mill. Ride to Will when you have found something.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

There are several places scattered on the fields to find the clue. The one I found is almost directly across the road parallel to Landon. Just north of the field just outside the Silverglade Village north gate.

Return to Will when you have found a clue.

will

Oh… Yes, this is a duck feather, that’s correct. But it’s oily. This is not good at all. The ducks must have gotten into trouble.

Quest completed

______________

A Heavy Feather Burden

will

Take this feather and tell Felix about this ominous discovery. He’s at the fountain.

Objectives: Ride to Felix and tell him. He’s at the fountain in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

And here you find yourself the harbinger of bad news again…

felix

This is terrible! What’s happened to our poor ducks? Oil you say… What? Is Mr Kembell drilling for oil on the Everwind Fields?! Disaster!

Quest completed

______________

Conclusive Evidence

felix

So you think the oily feather means that the disappearance of the ducks may have something to do with that slick Mr Kembell’s oilfield? Hm… The vet has analyzed the oil before? Ok, bring the feather to the vet so she can see if it is Mr Kembell’s oil.

Objectives: Visit the vet in Silverglade Village and let her examine the oily feather.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

The Vet is up around the corner of the Post Office.

vet

Hello Rita. Of course I can analyze the oil on the feather!

Quest completed

______________

Operation: Save the Ducks!

vet

That’s awful Rita! What if the ducks are stuck in the oil at Mr Kembell’s oilfields! If so, we have no time to lose! You must immediately head for the western Everwind Fields and look for the ducks. I’ll stay here and analyze samples for now. Come back here if you find some poor ducks in distress.

Objectives: Look for ducks in distress at the western part of the Everwind Fields. Investigate the oilfield. Return to the Vet.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

All of the ducks are located in the oilfield. They are scattered around, mostly by the fences and edges of the oilfield. Return to the Vet when you have found all of the ducks.

vet

Oh no, poor little ducks! They’re covered in oil. You’re a hero for saving them Rita!

Quest completed

______________

A Special Soap to Remove Oil

vet

A special soap is required to clean the ducks properly. Their feathers can be destroyed otherwise. I’ve run out of the soap and it takes too long to order it. Can you ride to Firgrove and ask to buy a soap from Felicity? She’s the one who makes them. Felicity is at Firgrove stables, she runs the place.

Objectives: Buy soap from Felicity.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Off to Firgrove we go!

felicity

Rita, it’s good to see you here in our little village! Oh, some ducks have been covered by oil, you say? That’s bad. Of course you can buy the special soap from me. I’m the expert on making special soap for sensitive animals.

Quest completed

______________

Soap for Instant Delivery

felicity

Here you go, here is the special soap for sensitive animals. It’ll be perfect for the ducks, I guarantee they’ll be white and clean again. Hurry back to the vet so she can clean the poor ducks.

Ride back with the soap to the vet in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

Now back to Silverglade Village we go!

vet

Thank you Rita, that was really fast. Now I can start the difficult job of cleaning the ducks of all of this horrible oil.

Quest completed

Return to the Vet tomorrow.
