Do the Fish Get On?

The fish are quite happy with their new home. They are multiplying like crazy!

Objectives: Talk to Mr Andersson.

Mr Andersson has been watching the fish closely.

It’s good to know that the fish get on, but I’m worried that the poachers will come back. We should think of something that will keep them away from here.

A Bad Idea?

We need to be very creative. I think that we have to be sharp and one step beyond. What do you think about cutting apart the bridges, only a little, so when the poachers walks out on them they will fall into the water!

Excuse me? That is why I’m the brains of this operation…

No, you are right, not a good idea. It affects ourselves. Maybe you have a better plan?

A Better Idea

Rita! You know what you are talking about. Of course we have to look for clues around the lake. You and Summerblaze were so effective the last time you rode around the lake, can’t you take one more lap?

Objectives: Look for clues around the lake.

Ride around the lake to get to the spot marked on your map. Look for a clue that can help figure out who the poacher is. Return to Mr Andersson when you have found something.

What’s this! A camera! It has to be from the poacher! Shall we develop the photos?

Quest completed

______________

To Be Sure

First we have to be sure about whose camera this is. If you ask around Valedale if someone is missing a camera, I can ask in Firgrove. We’ll meet here later.

Objectives: Ask someone in Valedale about the camera.

A Stranger With a Fishing Rod

So you are looking for a poacher and think this camera can belong to him? The other day I saw a man with a fishing rod in his hand and exactly this camera around his neck. He went over the bridge and up towards the mountains and the Valedale Lake. I’m pretty sure it’s his camera. You should ride and tell Mr Andersson this. 

Objectives: Ride and tell Mr Andersson about the testimony.

Go back to Mr Andersson and tell him what Sophie said.

You say that Sophie was completely sure this camera belongs to a man with a fishing rod? It has to be the poacher’s camera. Let’s develop the photos!

Photo Enthusiast

If we shall develop this film we should go to James in Fort Pinta. He is very good at photograph and developing. It can take a while to develop a film so I think you should ride to him now. Here, take the camera with you.

-Scoffs- That’s an understatement if I ever heard one, little dude.

Thanks, I will fix all that.

Return to James tomorrow.

Let’s go see if Avalon has figured out the Dark Core password.

Past the Barricade

Hello Rita. We have been lucky. I was lucky to hear that the password was “John Blund.” So now you can act like you are working for Dark Core when you sneak into that area up there.

In addition, the crystal you found is definitely Pandoric in origin. If Dark Core uses these crystals it is no surprise that the water is becoming contaminated. You need to stop them, no matter what they are doing. Good luck Rita!

Objectives: Ride up past the barricade by Valedale Lake and tell the guard the password.

Ride up to Valedale Lake and head towards where you got the sample from the waterfall, and speak to the guard there.

John Blund. That’s right. You seem awfully young to be working for Dark Core… Are you sure you should be here?

Road to Dark Core’s Secret

You need to ride up to the boss there on the mountain. I’m only the guard here. Follow the road and you will find him. Get going!

Objectives: Speak with the boss. Follow the road.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Sheesh. It must be a job requirement to work for Dark Core you have to be perpetually impatient and cranky.

Go up the now opened road and follow it all the way to the end. The boss is standing at the construction site.

Aha. So you are going to begin working here? You don’t look like any worker I’ve ever seen, but I’m guessing you can help with some of the small jobs that I need done. But no complaining or you’ll get fired on the spot!

Quest completed

The next three tasks the boss gives you must all be done on foot, so you have to dismount from your horse.

Oil Dark Core’s Machines

Listen up pipsqueak. Our huge drilling machines need to be oiled. I would do it myself it it wasn’t so boring… So now you get to do it instead. Ha! Take this oil and lubricate the machines at the marked spots. Make it quick.

And no whining. I’ll kick you off this mountain so fast your head will spin!

Objectives: Oil the machines with the machine oil.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Use the oil can to oil the big drilling machine behind you. Speak with the boss again when you’re done.

It smelled bad? Hahaha! I know, it is so great not to have to do it anymore.

Cinder Disposal

Listen up little weasel! When we drill in the mountains there is a bunch of waste. This needs to be taken care of. It isn’t any fun and it is a bit dangerous, but as the new person you get to do it. Take the shovel and get started on the cinder in the pile over there. No being lazy… I’ll be watching.

Objectives: Use the shovel to shovel the cinder down the cliff.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Use the shovel on the several green lumps in front of the drilled out tunnel. Then take them and place them on the pile of similar lumps stacked in the corner behind the drilling machine. Speak to the boss when you are done.

Heavy work right? Haha! NO whining I said!

Dark Core Lunch

Come here little monkey! I’m starting to get hungry. Go fetch my lunch from the cooler over there. Hurry up! My stomach is rumbling!

Objectives: Get the lunch for the boss fro the cooler and give it to him.

-Stares daggers-

The cooler is back towards the entrance to the construction site. It is wedged between a storage container and a big oil tank. Pick up the lunch inside the cooler and take it to the boss.

Ha. Horse-sandwich. My favorite! Mmmm… good.

That was great!

Report to the Headquarters

Hmmm. Maybe you aren’t completely worthless after all. I have an important job for you. I can’t trust these other jobbies. Look here… This is a report to Mr Sands that describes how the work is going here. When he sees this report he is going to promote me right away. You’ll see… Using this green crystal we drill twice as quickly as we did before. The water is green? Yeah, we have seen that, but who really cares? Killing nature? Hahahaha! Who cares!

Here is the report. Ride down as quick as you can to our base by Moorland Beach so my colleagues can get it to Mr Sands as soon as possible. No daydreaming!

“Hmmm… this needs to go to Avalon instead.”

Objectives: Ride to Avalon with the report.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Ride back down the road you came, and go take the report to Avalon in Valedale.

Rita? Great that you are here. I’ve done a deeper analysis of the river water and I can already see signs of nature beginning to die around the river.

So, you were inside the Dark Core barricade. Did you find anything out? A report? Let’s have a look. Hrmmm. This report is encrypted. I think I can break it… but it will take some time. Come back tomorrow when I’ve had a chance to work on it.

Quest completed

Return to Avalon tomorrow.
