Has the fort come crashing down??

Why did it take you so long to get here? It’s all falling apart here — or at least it’s the beginning of the end for my business — and you just waltz in slower than a sloth!

No tips for you Rita.

The South Hoof Lighthouse Goes Dark…

james

Nightmare, Rita You’ve gotta help me!

What’s happened, you ask?

The lighthouse on the South Hoof Peninsula has gone out! It’s a complete disaster! No tourist ships dare come close to Fort Pinta if the lighthouse isn’t there to guide them, and if there are no tourists then I don’t make money! This is so dreadful for me…

If I shouldn’t just call the lighthouse keeper and ask what’s going on? Do you think I’m stupid? Of course I’ve done that already. I’ve called loads of times but there’s no answer. Something must’ve happened.

You’ll help me though, right Rita? You will?! Sweet!

I’ve had an idea. A while back, I bought a pair of really nice, cozy little boats that I thought about hiring out to the tourists. For some reason though, nobody’s ever hired them out which I think is weird because going out on a boat is super fun! So I’ve been told. But anyway, you can borrow one so you can sail over to South Hoof. What do you think Rita?

Why I don’t just go myself?

 Umm, I’m… Umm… Allergic to water. Exactly, yeah. That’s it. So unfortunately I can’t go. The boat is down there between the pier and the beach. Good luck!

Objectives: Ride down to James’ boat which is moored to a jetty between the pier and the beach.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

Well, this boat isn’t exactly sea-worthy… Return to James to report the boat’s condition.

james

Have you already been to South Hoof? You haven’t?!

The boat was broken, you say? That’s ridiculous! I paid TEN Jorvik Shillings each for those boats. Maybe there’s a hole or two in the bottom, but they’re just there to keep you cool while you’re out on the water. Like air conditioning in a car.

Why do you look so suspicious, Rita?

Another Boat to Borrow

james

Okay, okay. The boat might not be in top condition, but I have another. I rented it out to the Guard at the disco, so he could practice landing maneuvers at the beach or something. You can go and ask him if you can borrow that one instead?

Objectives: Ask the Guard at the disco if you can borrow his boat.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Let’s hope this boat is in better shape…

security

ATTENTION!

Rita, how can I be of assistance to you on this day?

Quest completed

______________

Operation Iron Cockroach

security

WHAT ON EARTH?! You want to borrow a boat from me?

Aha! You mean the landing craft I borrowed in order to rehearse crucial beach storming maneuvers? Operation Iron Cockroach as I call it…

Grrr… There’s not much boat to borrow unfortunately. My beach landing rehearsals became a little too realistic, even for me.

No time to waste though, I realize you’re on an important mission Rita! So I hereby submit my report of Operation Iron Cockroach: The time was 04:07 yesterday morning as I was out at sea off Fort Pinta carefully and silently approaching the beach. Just next to the diving board I saw a guard post! The element of surprise was lost and my position uncovered, so I went full speed ahead to get to the shore before the enemy had a chance to react!

Suddenly, I heard a huge explosion. A mine, I thought, so I threw myself straight into the water! I then realized that the fuel tank on the landing craft had exploded, so I swam to land and retreated to the fort. The enemy guard revealed himself in better light to actually be a particularly suspicious-looking bush, so no actual danger was present and I gave myself the order to stop the exercise.

How it went with the boat? Oh, I’ve got no idea. I haven’t had a chance to run recon over the terrain yet, since I’ve got light bulbs to change and the disco ball to polish first.

Hmm… During my retreat, I saw Elin running towards me. She’s the lifeguard down on the beach below Fort Pinta. 

Suppose you could ask her if she saw what happened to the boat…?

Objectives: Ask lifeguard Elin about the Guard’s boating accident by the beach.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

Elin can be found standing in the middle of the diving board circling the beach swimming area.

elin

Lovely day today, wouldn’t you say? Hi, my name’s Elin and I’m the lifeguard here at the beach. What’s your name?

Quest completed

______________

Whatever Ends Up in the Water…

elin

The Guard’s accident? I knew it was him sneaking away through the bushes! He looked pretty baffled…

If I saw what happened to his boat? Yeah, I ran here when I heard the explosion so I didn’t see the actual accident but whatever ends up in the water here usually drifts ashore along the foreland which crops out over past the bathing area. If his boat didn’t sink, it’s pretty sure to have ended up there.

If you find the boat, you could come and let me know since I need to be sure it won’t be dangerous for the people who come swimming here.

Objectives: Look for the missing boat along the outcrop of land past the bathing spot.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Fort Pinta

Inspect the wrecked boat washed up on the beach and return to Elin.

elin

Did you find the boat? Bits of it, you say… Hmm. Why are you so interested in a wonky old boat like that anyway?

Oh, you need a boat to get to South Hoof? And James’ other boats are in pretty much the same shape? Hmm, maybe there’s a chance you can repair the boat with the parts you find here? Worth a try, right? It’s pretty quiet here right now so I can help you if you’d like?

Quest completed

______________

One Man’s Wreck is Another Man’s Boat!

elin

If the other boat is also broken, you’ll probably need to fix that as well. Maybe there’s some stuff from the wreck you can use for that?

I’ll go and take a look at your boat while you look for parts here on the beach that you can use. What do you say?

Nice. Have a look along the little peninsula where you found the wreck. Everything that sunk has probably washed ashore there… See you in a while by the pier where your boat is!

Objectives: Look for and collect parts of the wrecked boat along the outcrop of land past the bathing spot. When you’re done, talk to Elin. She’s waiting on the pier where James’ boat is.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 25 with Fort Pinta

Clean the beach of boat parts and return to Elin.

elin

Hi again! Looks like you found loads of useful stuff, we’ll definitely be able to make use of this.

Quest completed

______________

Fishing for an Engine

elin

Well Rita, I don’t see there being any problems with sealing the hull of your boat with the parts we have here. We just need to get hold of some kind of glue or sealant to hold it all together.

The engine, on the other hand, is a different story. You’ll need to find the wreck’s engine if you’re going to have any chance of fixing it.

You didn’t see an engine on the shore, you say?

I guess it sank when the fuel tank exploded on the Guard’s boat. It’s probably on the seabed out by the diving board at the bathing spot. Have a look there and see if you can’t salvage it. Here’s the anchor from the boat, perhaps you could use it as a kind of fishing hook to fish up the engine? Hehe!

Use the rope to fish out the engine. Come back once you’ve found it, and I’ll see if I can find a way to use these parts you found in the meantime. 

Objectives: Salvage the engine from the water outside Fort Pinta Beach.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 30 with Fort Pinta

Leave your horse on the beach and go on foot up onto the diving board to be able to fish for the engine. Once you have hauled it up, return to Elin.

elin

Nice work! Now we’ll have enough spare parts and then some!

Quest completed

______________

A Thin Sealant

elin

I reckon I should be able to get the engine going for you Rita. I was a mechanic at the Jorvik City scrapyard before I became a lifeguard here. I hardly ever saw the sunshine at that scrapyard, so changing career was pretty much the best decision I ever made!

Anyway, I saw a barrel of sealant further down the pier, that should do the trick for sealing up the hull. It should’ve been delivered to my friend Donald the Builder in Jarlaheim but it’s been sitting there for weeks now so I guess the ferry captain must’ve forgotten about it. Would you ride over and get it? I’ll text Donald and ask him if it’s okay if we use it. He’ll say yes, so ride over and grab it now!

Objectives: Fetch the barrel of sealant on the pier and ride back to Elin.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Fort Pinta

The barrel is tiny and set on the pier by the blue/green ferry station. Return to Elin with the barrel.

elin

Exactly, that’s the barrel I was talking about.

Oh, speak of the devil, a text from Donald… He writes that we should just take as much sealant as we need and that if there’s something there’s never a shortage of, it’s sealant. Sounds good Rita, Donald usually knows what he’s talking about.

Quest completed

______________

Seal the Boat!

elin

Now you just need to use the sealant to seal the hull of the boat. With the parts from the wreck you found earlier, you shouldn’t have any problems making it watertight. 

I’ll wait here, just ask if you need anything!

Objectives: Seal the hull of the boat and then talk to Elin.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

Dismount your horse and use the sealant to fix up the boat into tip-top shape!

elin

Great! That hull isn’t gonna let a drop of water into it now!

Quest completed

______________

Dip Interrupted 

elin

Well well, I’m sure we’ll get some speed out of this engine eventually! I’ve got some tools you can borrow, but maybe could you do me a favor in return?

Yesterday night, I took a quick little dip down by the pier on the other side of Fort Pinta. It was pretty late, around the same time the Guard was out on his little adventure in the boat. When I heard the explosion, I ran outta there, I didn’t grab shoes or anything and got to the beach as quick as I could. I ended up leaving more than just my shoes! All my clothes are still over there… Do you think you could go grab for me?

Thanks Rita!

Objectives: Find the clothes that Elin left behind on the other side of the Fort Pinta.

Reputation: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Out skinny dippin’ huh? I got ya fam.

Ride over to the small huts on the other side of the stone bridge and find Elin’s clothes. Return to her when you have found them all.

elin

Oh, thanks Rita! They’re my favorite clothes so I was a bit worried they might have gone missing!

Quest completed

______________

Boat Engine Repairs

elin

Here are my tools Rita. I haven’t really used them in the time since I left the scrapyard in Jorvik City, but they’re still in good condition as I’m sure you’ll notice!

You know how to repair an engine, right? Haha, of course, sorry I even asked!

Good luck and let me know if you need anything.

Objectives: Repair the engine, then talk to Elin.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with Fort Pinta

Dismount your horse to repair the engine with Elin’s tools. Speak to her when you are finished.

elin

You’re not a bad mechanic! You could get a job at the scrapyard if you wanted… The engine looks like it was delivered straight from the factory!

Quest completed

______________

No Boat Without Fuel!

elin

There we go Rita! Now your boat is as good as new! All you need now is to fill the tank with fuel so you can sail away.

Fuel?

You didn’t get any fuel from James? Haha, well without fuel you won’t be getting very far. Probably best you ride to him ask him for some.

I need to get back to lifeguarding the beach now, but it was really nice to meet you! Nice to be able to use my old skills again as well, that doesn’t happen much anymore haha!

Good luck over at South Hoof, see you around!

Objectives: Ask James for some fuel for the boat.

James is not known for having well-thought out plans…

james

Hey Rita. Have you already been over to South Hoof?

You need fuel for the boat, you say.

Hmm. Fuel is so expensive… You sure it’s necessary? Can’t you row?

Quest completed

______________

Free Fuel is the Best Fuel!

james

Okay, okay, I get it… If the lighthouse doesn’t light back up again it’ll be a disaster for my businesses… I don’t have much in the way of cash flow right now Rita, so maybe you’ve got a good idea of where you could get hold of some cheap fuel…

Steve? He’s got a huge fuel tank you say? Do you think you could get some from him? Great idea Rita! That way, it’ll be free!

Quick! Ride over to Steve and get some fuel, no time to waste!

Objectives: Ask Steve if he can give you some fuel.

South Hoof’s Missing Residents

Hello there, by the way! Who are you?

Rita. Nice to meet you, my name’s Holly. Just got back from a surf session on the other side of South Hoof. This time of year I don’t think you’d be able to find better waves anywhere in the world!

Hey by the way, have you seen Erik, my husband? You haven’t?

Madison? She’s my daughter…

You haven’t seen her either? You haven’t seen another living soul at all?!

Everyone’s disappeared… This is pretty weird…

What are you doing here, by the way Rita?

The lighthouse isn’t working?!

Quest completed

______________

Shipwrecked at Cape Sorrow

holly

I don’t know how they’ve managed to get themselves stuck at Cape Sorrow, Rita, but we need to rescue them. They must’ve been there at least a day, and I couldn’t see any food, camping gear, or anything… They must be freezing and hungry! And poor little Madison, I hope she’s okay…

You’ve got a horse Rita, can I sit behind you while you ride?

Great! Ride down to the beach below the lighthouse Rita, it’s opposite Cape Sorrow. You’ll need to take the path going past the ferry landing since there’s no way to get down the cliffs from here.

Come on Rita, let’s save my family!

Wait. Can you see Jonas? He looks rather weak… I hope he’s not injured…

Boat Rescue!

holly

How are we gonna get to Cape Sorrow, Rita?! I can’t see Jonas’ fishing boat or our little motorboat anywhere…

I’d try to get there on my surfboard, but that’d just get swept out to sea or smash up against the cliffs. Could be worth a try anyway, right? What do you think Rita? I suppose we don’t have any other choice?

You’ve got a boat, you say? Of course you have, how else would you have got here? 

Hurry and bring it here. I’ll wait here and try to come up with a plan in the meantime.

Set Sail for Sorrow

holly

Rita, I think it’s best if you take the boat to Cape Sorrow yourself. The more space you have in the boat, the fewer trips you’ll need to make to pick everyone up.

Just take it easy, okay? The waters around Cape Sorrow are full of really strong currents and dangerous ground. Plenty of ships and boats have met their end at the Cape, and I really don’t want you to join them.

Good luck!

Hello there. I’m Sigrid, South Hoof’s lighthouse keeper. Might I ask who you are?

Rita. Delightful.

You’re here to save us, you say? I saw you on your way here and you’re a decent navigator but is your boat really seaworthy?

Quest completed

______________

Unlucky Twice at Sea

sigrid

How we’re feeling, you ask?

Considering the circumstances, everyone is doing rather well. Except for my husband, Jonas. He says he’s fine, but I know he’s just trying not to worry me.

He was in the water long after the boat went down, and he gave all the dry clothes he managed to save to Madison so that she wouldn’t freeze. His temperature was right down, and even though he’s stronger than a walrus, he might…

…What happened, you ask? Well, Jonas had taken Madison out on a fishing trip, but when they were on their way home Jonas steered a little too close to Cape Sorrow. He knows how dangerous the water is here, but he wanted to show Madison one of his favorite cliffs out this way. It was pretty stupid of him, but he meant well, as he always does. The fishing boat ran aground and sank almost immediately, but Jonas managed to swim ashore with Madison. I saw what happened from up in the lighthouse, so I ran down to the farm and got Erik.

Together we took our boat and got to Cape Sorrow as quickly as we could, but sadly, Erik also managed to run aground. Jonas had to throw himself into the water again to save us. He got us up onto the shore, but I think it was too much, even for my lovely, brave husband.

I don’t think there’s any danger to my Jonas, but maybe could you take a look at him?

Jonas seems to be feeling better already Rita. Some food and heat seem to have done the trick, but now we’ll just have to keep an eye on him in the future… No more adventures at sea!

Rita, my Jonas tells me he would love to thank you in person. Go talk to him, but not for too long.. He needs his rest.

Objectives: Talk to Jonas.

Feeling better there, sir?

jonas

Hello there Rita. That was your name, wasn’t it? It’s a lovely name if you don’t mind me saying so. 

Yaawwwwnnnnn!

You’ll have to excuse me, I’m incredibly tired. Quite enough adventure for one day, wouldn’t you say? Maybe we can talk a little more tomorrow. Does that sound good Rita?

See you in the morning. Yaaawwwwn!

Quest completed

When you have become Admired with the Goldspur Family, you can now enter the extra challenging Greendale Race. Visit Morgana, down from Molly, to start the race.

Check Out the Challenging Greendale Race

morgana

So, you are Rita, huh? I’ve heard about you.

Hmpf.

Believe me, you’re not ready for the challenging Greendale race.

…

However, Angus and Idun have told me you’re allowed to enter the competition, so what am I to do?

…

Alright. Check it out if you like. Finish the race, show me you can ride. Do that, and I’ll let you do it for real.

…

…What are you waiting for?

Objectives: Finish the race.

Rewards: 500 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 30 with Goldspur Family

This track is probably one of the most challenging ones in the game currently. It took me at least four or five attempts the first time, so be sure to take your time and be careful to make it through the checkpoints and finish the race.

morgana

So you eventually finished.

Hmpf.

…

Beginner’s luck.

But I hold true to my word. Come back if you want to enter the competition for real. Now, get lost.

Quest completed

You can now run the Challenging Greendale Race as a daily race.

There is a new pet shop opening in Jarlaheim, across from Gavin’s place. Speak to the owner, Amelia.

New Friendship

amelia

Hi there, are you Rita? Cool! So awesome that you came by.

I’m Amelia, and I work here at Pet Shop Girls. I see to it that all the cute animals are comfortable and have everything they need!

I’m usually very busy with our webpage and web shop, so I’m looking for someone to help me take care of the shaggy, little fur balls.

You seem like a fun girl, I’m sure we’ll be good friends as well!

By the way, you have a beautiful horse! Is it a Burma? Or, hold on, that’s a cat. Truth be told, I know absolutely NOTHING about horses, I just know they’re fun to ride. But nothing else, so I think you’ll have to teach me a thing or two about horses, else I’ll be mixing horses with toasters… Not that toasters and horses look alike at all, but oh well!

Your horse is called Summerblaze, you say? That’s a nice name. I would never be able to think of such a cool name for my dog. Suffice to say his names is Ernst, hehe…

Objectives: Talk to Amelia about how you can help her with Pet Shop Girls.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Jarlaheim

There is lots of things to be done!

amelia

So here’s the thing: I need some help around the store, and I would also love to get to know you a little better while we’re at it.

Sounds like a good idea? Perfect, let’s get going!

Quest completed

______________

Out of Cats

amelia

I need to ask a favor of you, Rita.

A woman came by and bought ALL our cats! We don’t have any left! That woman must really love cats, and I’m sure the small mousers will be nuts about living with her.

However, my store is so silent and lifeless without any kitties, so I need to get my hands on some new cats I can snuggle! I know the pet shop in Fort Pinta has an abundance of kittens. They hardly have room for all of them and the situation is dire, which is perfect, because now I can bring some of them here!

The security guard in Fort Pinta is helping to find new homes for them, and he is more than willing to let me take them. He thinks it’s heartbreaking to see all those cats sit on top of each other because of the lack of space.

I know it’s a bit far, but it would really be of great help if you could go there and get those cats for me. I can hardly wait for them to arrive!

Objectives: Travel to Fort Pinta and speak to the security guard.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 35 with Jarlaheim

Sorry, ahem. That would have been me, the crazy cat hoarder. I honestly have all of the cats in the game, haha.

You can either ride to Fort Pinta or take the blue ferry boat there.

Speak to Security in front of the Fort Pinta disco.

security

PARDON?

Cats to Amelia?

I’ve been ordered to hand out a delivery of recruits to a certain commander Amelia. I understand she has authorized you to pick them up here in Fort Pinta. They’ve been nice comrades, so it’ll be sad to see them go, but orders are orders.

Quest completed

______________

A New Home

security

ATTEEEENTION!!!

I hereby leave the command of the recruits, also called the kittens, to you, Rita. I wish you good luck, and hope the journey back to Jarlaheim goes well.

Objectives: Bring the cats to Amelia.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 30 with Jarlaheim

Return to Amelia via your route of choice. Ride carefully with your cuddly precious cargo.

amelia

Would you look at that, such cute kittens… They’re simply irresistible! Almost so much I’d want to keep them all myself, but my home would probably become a bit crowded.

Quest completed

______________

Hungry Rabbits

amelia

The rabbit food has started to run out and the poor things are starting to get hungry. Someone needs to get more food for them as soon as possible.

Filip on the Sunfield farm makes his own rabbit food on the farm, it’s a new hobby he has started doing. Hopefully also because he wants his own rabbits to benefit from the best food they can get. It’s so cute that he’s so anxious about his own animals. He’s simply a true friend of animals.

If, at some point, you’re in need of tips and hints about animal care, just pay Filip a visit! I’m sure he’ll be glad to help. 

In any case, fetch a sack of Filip’s best rabbit food and bring it afterwards to me. He’s awaiting you at the Sunfield farm.

Objectives: Fetch the food from Filip at the Sunfield farm.

Rewards: 25 with Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jarlaheim

Ride to the Sunfield farm, outside of Jorvik Stables, and speak to Filip about getting some rabbit food.

filip_sunfield

Hi again, Rita! Good to see you.

I heard you were coming to get some rabbit food for the pet shop in Jarlaheim? We collaborate from time to time. I give Amelia food for the animals, while she helps out on the farm. We need that from time to time, as you already know, some people on the farm can be a bit lazy…

Quest completed

______________

Yummy Rabbit Food

filip_sunfield

Here’s a sack of yummy food that those rabbits are gonna love. Made from my best, home-grown produce, this food will make the rabbits go crazy with happiness.

The sack is a bit heavy, but you should do just fine. Give Amelia my regards.

Objectives: Leave the rabbit food with Amelia.

Rewards: 25 with Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Return to Amelia with the rabbit food.

amelia

Great, you’re back! That was fast! Now the rabbits will be happy.

Quest completed

______________

Hungry Dogs

amelia

The dog food has run out as well. The dogs can become a bit rowdy when hungry, so we better get the food before they find their own food supply and eat that instead.

Travel to my sister Johanna who takes care of Jorvik Stables. It’s good to have a sister that one can buy cheap dog food from. It’s nice to know so many different people around here that can help out with things!

Objectives: Fetch the dog food from Johanna at Jorvik Stables.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with Jarlaheim

Speak with Johanna, out front of the stable.

johanna

Hi there, I take it you’re here to get dog food for Amelia?

I thought as much. You’re always there for people when they need you! My sister is very happy you’ve helped her this much, it’s appreciated. She’s had so much to do lately, in addition to helping Filip with his animals some times too. Poor thing barely has time for herself these days.

Hopefully it helps a lot having you around.

Quest completed

______________

A Loaded Sack

johanna

The sack of dog food is somewhere on the farm. Find it and bring it afterwards to Amelia.

Say hi to Amelia from me!

Objectives: Leave the dog food with Amelia.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Search the different sacks around in the stables area until you find the one with the dog food in it. When you have found it, take it to Amelia in Jarlaheim.

amelia

Thank you! Now I have lots of dog food, though it’ll run out quick enough. You can safely say, those dogs are greedy!

Quest completed

______________

Hungry Cats

amelia

Oh dear, now the cat food is out, and the kitties are screaming for more! I feel sorry for those mousers sometimes, but I’m just being overprotective as usual. Oh well…

You’re more than welcome to get some cat food from my best friend Catherine. She’s not only the owner of Jarlaheim’s cafe, she also happens to sell the best cat food in the entire Harvest Counties. It’s not only healthy, it’s also very filling, making the cats eat less food than if they’d eaten regular cat food. Doesn’t that sound good?

I’ve phoned her and told her you’ll probably come by and pick up the cat food, so she’s prepared for your arrival.

It would be great if you went there!

Objectives: Fetch the cat food from Catherine down by the cafe near the harbor.

Ride down to the Stablebucks cafe and speak with Catherine.

catherine

Hi, Rita! Nice to see you, as usual! Hope everything is well with you. I guess you’re here for the cat food? Excellent.

It’s so nice that everything is working out for Amelia with the pet shop. She’s really fought hard for this, and it’s so good of you to help her out. 

Sometimes Amelia’s family and I don’t have time to step in, so it’s good to have someone extra to lean on from time to time!

However, I won’t take up any more of your time. I’m known to just yap on, haha!

Quest completed

______________

A Load of Cat Food

catherine

Here’s the sack of cat food. I promise the kitties will be happy. It’s made from the best produce, so at least there’s no chance the cats will get upset tummies from this!

Bye for now, see you soon!

a big thank you from ferdinand and eddie, bored horses at the market, caution fall hazard, eddie, ferdinand, horses on the loose, james, rent for the horse market in fort pinta, report back to base, security

The following quests are only available when the market is at Fort Pinta.

Bored Horses at the Market

ferdinand

Dearest Rita, it’s really lovely that you’ve come to visit us. You’re a little ray of sunshine sent to brighten up our day, believe me! If you have some time on your hands, maybe you could help me with a little errand? Oh, wonderful Rita, you’re too kind!

Y’know, our horses are a bit bored after travelling all the way here on the barge; there’s not really very much for them to do. I thought maybe if we could give them some sugar lumps it might improve their mood! The security guard here in Fort Pinta is an old friend of ours, perhaps you could ask him if he has a few sugar lumps spare for us? 

Thanks Rita, come back when you’ve got the sugar lumps and you’ll see that the horses will be in a much better mood!

Objectives: Ask the security guard at Fort Pinta for some sugar lumps.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Ride up to the entrance to the disco and speak with Security there.

security

WHAT?!

Sugar?! Sugar?!

Here, as Allied soldiers tumble down the cliffs like lemmings, you’re asking for sugar?

Quest completed

______________

Caution: Fall Hazard!

security

TEN-HUT!

Sugar… I hardly think you’d find any sugar here. In the middle of a terrible natural catastrophe we don’t exactly have the time for such civil frivolities! Right this second we’re in the midst of a disaster of apocalyptic proportions that frankly demands the total engagement and dedication of everybody involved!

What do you mean why am I so upset?! UPSET?!

Hmm? Calm down? Me?

Err…

Yes, well, yesterday as I was patrolling the base and inspecting the fortifications to ensure infiltrators couldn’t get in and that no tourists got lost in the fort, I almost walked right off the edge of the cliff! I was peering through my binoculars to check for enemies as I patrolled and didn’t exactly notice that I was so close to the edge. I was an inch from toppling right over into the sea, and it was only my superior commando training that saved me! What kind of training? Umm…

Yes! I was actually the Jorvik junior tap champion when I was younger… That’s actually really very much like commando training if you don’t mind!

ANYWAY! Now I’ve made these marvelous hazard signs that must be erected so that the same thing doesn’t happen to some standard civilian. Private Rita! ATTENTION! You’re hereby ordered to install these signs in appropriate locations along the fortifications. 

MOVE OUT! FORWAAARD MARCH!

Objectives: Put up the hazard signs around Fort Pinta and come back to talk to the security guard.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Ride around the fort and place the signs in the indicated locations, then return to Security when you are finished.

Report Back to Base

security

TEN-HUT! Don’t just stand here loitering, Private Rita. Here’s your sugar just as we agreed. Report back t General Ferdinand immediately. Between you and me, I’ll be recommending you for a medal for your heroic contribution here today.

Hmm…

MOVE OUT! FORWAAAARD MARCH!

Objectives: Ride to Ferdinand with the sugar lumps.

Return to Ferdinand with the sugar cubes.

ferdinand

Ooh, I see you’ve got sugar lumps with you! Now our horses are going to cheer right up, I’m sure.

Quest completed

______________

Horses on the Loose

ferdinand

Oh no Rita, not again! All the horses have gotten loose!

Dear, oh dear, when they got the sugar lumps they cheered right up… Maybe they got a bit too cheerful. After being stuck on the barge for so long, they all went bananas when they got the sugar and just ran away. 

Sure, they needed some activity but they can’t just bolt like that. This happens every time we come to Fort Pinta. I reckon they were just bluffing when they looked so down in the mouth earlier; they knew they’d get sugar from me and then they ran away. I could swear they’ve gone and hidden themselves in the fort, just as they always do.

Can you look for them Rita? If you find them, they’ll come back here afterwards. Sometimes it drives me crazy when they’re this naughty, but I suppose it would get awfully dull without a little drama, don’t you think? 

Good luck Rita, and don’t forget to have a really good look, they’re surprisingly good at hiding themselves, these nutty nags!

Objectives: Find all the horses that have hidden themselves in Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Find all of the horses hiding in the fort. There are several places they could be, though it is different for each player. Some of the locations include: inside the disco (you will have to dismount to approach this horse), up on top of the fort, near the stable, near the fort statue, near the hairdresser, on the pony barge. Their locations will be indicated on your map, so they should not be too hard to find.

Simply approach the horse to ‘find’ it. When all of the horses have been found,  return to Ferdinand.

ferdinand

Haha, you did good Rita. All the horses have returned. We won’t be falling for their monkey business again next time we come here, let me tell you!

Quest completed

______________

Rent for the Horse Market in Fort Pinta

eddie

Hi Rita, do you think you can help me with an errand? I haven’t got time to leave the market right now, but I need to pay the rent. You’re someone I trust, so I can rely on you to deliver this envelope of Jorvik Shillings? It needs to get to James in Fort Pinta, which shouldn’t take long for an expert rider like you.

You’d do that for me? Thanks Rita!

Objectives: Give the envelope of Jorvik Shillings to James in Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 100 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Ride up to James and deliver the envelope for Eddie.

james

Hey there Rita. You’re here with the rent from Ferdinand and Eddie? Great!

Quest completed

______________

A Big Thank You From Ferdinand and Eddie

ferdinand

Dearest Rita, you’ve really been a huge help for us here in Fort Pinta. If you hadn’t helped us to find all the horses, we’d have been forced to search for the all night long.

Eddie and I had a little chat earlier on, and we both decided that we wanted to give you a gift, you know, to say thanks for all you’ve done for us. Eddie has been fixing it up and I think she’s finished now. You go talk to her and you’ll get a really lovely present from us, and nope, I’m saying nothing about what it is. That would only spoil the surprise! So long, dearest Rita, see you soon.

Objectives: Talk to Eddie at the horse market.

Rewards: 150 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP, Smart Polo Shirt

Reputation: 500 with Ferdinand’s Horse Market

Go and speak to Eddie.

eddie

Hi Rita! Now you get to see what I’ve fund for you in our caravan. It’s so lovely, it was embroidered by an old friend of ours and I wore it a lot when I was younger. It doesn’t really suit my beautiful body these days, hehe! But here, it’ll look perfect on you. Here you go! See you soon Rita.

bjorn

Hello! What a gorgeous horse you have!

I’m sorry. I should introduce myself. I am Bjorn, master gardener, artist, and renaissance man, at your service. Your horse must be the most beautiful horse to ever trod the green hills of Jorvik. I absolutely have to paint a portrait of your horse sometime!

Aha, and here beside me is Agnetha, my dear wonderful wife. Together we are a formidable gardening team with a brilliant vision, a sacred mission! We are going to restore the Winery gardens to their former glory.

Now I have a great idea! You should join us! No… I won’t take no for an answer. I can see it now… Bjorn, Agnetha, and Rita… In an article together in the Jorvik Gazette… “Together they accomplished the task of the century and restored the Eighth Wonder of the World – The Silverglade Gardens!”

This is going to be fantastic! Take these measuring sticks, or whatever they are called, and put them into the ground over there by the paddock. When that is done, my dear wife Agnetha can start working.

Objectives: Plan the measuring sticks around the garden beside the paddock.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

A Careful Cleaning of the Land

agnetha

Wait.

Wait…

 BURRRRP!!!

Whoa… That really hit the spot! That was a great sandwich. Full of mayonnaise, shrimp, and all sorts of great stuff. What can I do for you now?

Whoa… Hold it right there. You don’t get to ride up her on your little pony and try to tell me how you should clear some land. I don’t think so. Listen to me now little girl. This requires the real thing!

Ride over to my old friend Barney and ask him to return the chainsaw I loaned him last year… That and a little dynamite I have under my bed should be just the thing to get this job done right in this little garden.

This is going to be perfect… Then my little darling man can put his little flowers just where he wants them.

This chainsaw wasn’t really of much use to me Rita. It is so big that it takes at least three men to even lift it off the ground. Taking it away on horseback shouldn’t be a problem though.

Give my best to Bjorn and Agnetha. See you later!

Objectives: Ride back to Agnetha with the chainsaw.

Agnetha should be happy to see her precious dear chainsaw again.

agnetha

It’s about time, Rita. And here is the chainsaw we talked about, let’s have a look at it…

It is smaller than I remember, but… I guess it might work to clear the area with this little toothpick… But it might take a long time. 

Okay. Come back tomorrow, stand back and let a real woman do her job.

A Seed is Soon Planted

bjorn

Have you seen it Rita? What a spellbindingly beautiful garden that is now showing us its naked face. It is a truly magical feeling isn’t it? It is going to be truly breathtaking… I simply can’t wait!

Now we need to plant flowers, flowers, and even MORE flowers! Ride as fast as you can over to Felix in Silverglade Village and ask if we can get some pansy seeds from him.

Hurry up Rita!

Thud!

…

…

Oh…? How are you?

Of course, we are going to plant! Hurry up Rita, I feel a little dizzy… I think I need to rest a little… But please take the seeds and plant them in the ground.

Plumbing in the Garden

agnetha

Ah ah aaa! That is close enough Rita. You don’t need to come any close than that on your little horse.

Ah yes. We will need to repair the pipes. You should know that here on this old broken farm the pipes are of the worst possible quality. They break all the time and I don’t have time to fix them all AND help Bjorn with everything he wants done. He is completely worthless with anything that resembles real work, just in case you haven’t figured that out yet. How are you with fixing things, sweetie? Are you as useless as Bjorn or are you ready to get dirty and get things done?

You can? I’m glad to hear it. We like your kind of person here.

Have a look at these things here. This is my plumbing work kit. Be careful with it as these things are expensive. Take the tools with you to the garden and repair those broken pipes and come back later. Don’t be lazy now. This is good old-fashioned work.

Objectives: Repair the pipes over by the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Ride up to the broken pipe and use the plumbing kit to fix it. Return to Agnetha when you are finished.

Good going little Rita! Now the flowers won’t have to die of thirst, like someone else here I could mention.

Quest completed

______________

The Big Secret

agnetha

Listen now, little Rita. The real secret behind this garden idea is a new invention, a super-fertilizer that I have discovered. It should get the flowers to grow and bloom in no time at all. You thought I was only good at running chainsaws and blowing things up, didn’t you? Well… You thought wrong. I have a good head on my shoulders, alright. 

When I worked over at Jorvik Stables, I used to muck the stalls, from morning to late at night, every day. I noticed everything grew very fast on the manure pile. I tested it by tossing a bundle of seeds on the pile one night and when I came back in the morning the pile was coated with tulips. So I asked Herman, the boss there, “Herman sweetie, it doesn’t make sense for this fertilizer to just be lying here, right? Why don’t I just buy it all for a cheap penny?” and he answered “Of course you can.” So now I have exclusive rights to the world’s best fertilizer, direct from Jorvik Stables, and we are going to use it to grow our flowers.

But anyways little Rita. I’m standing here and wasting valuable time we could be using to work instead. Here, take this sack of super-fertilizer and empty it in the Sun Garden. I know it doesn’t exactly smell like roses but you can use a clothespin on your nose.

Objectives: Spread the fertilizer out on the flower beds in the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

Place the fertilizer on the indicated spots in the garden, the return to Agnetha when you are finished.

Well done Rita! Now we just have to wait and let the super-fertilizer do its work. Come back tomorrow and we’ll have a look at it.

Quest completed

Return to Agnetha tomorrow.

______________

Not Only Flowers

agnetha

Listen up now. My patented super-fertilizer works too well. It isn’t only the flowers that grow quickly… But  the weeds too. We’ll we can’t have that, can we? Now it is time for you to roll up your sleeve and do some honest old-fashioned work. You are a little skinny to use my chainsaw… Don’t you eat enough breakfast?

Anyways, this is what we should do. Take these garden shears and clear out all the weeds in the Sun Garden. Don’t come back until all the weeds are gone. Get to it… Go on… Go.

Objectives: Get rid of the weeds in the Sun Garden.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Thirsty Flowers

agnetha

Rita, come over here for a second.

You… Well… This isn’t good.

You didn’t do a good job when you were repairing the pipes in the Sun Garden. Now they are spraying water all over the place again. We don’t like this kind of bad quality work here, little Rita. You’ll need to run down there and repair the pipes again… But do it properly this time. I’ve got my eye on you Rita.

Invasion in the Garden

agnetha

Hold on there, Rita. We have a serious situation here that I need to take care of.

You want to help?

That’s the right attitude, Rita! I can always count on you through thick and thin!

Listen up now. Some sneaky parasites have sneaked into the garden and are trying to steal the fruit of our labor. Those little biters are sneaky as can be and I haven’t managed to catch a single one of them. I am completely worn out… No matter how quick I am, they jump back down into their holes as soon as I get close. I think you need to sneak up on them… Maybe you could give it a try?

Good! Take this sack and stuff it with those little guys. You’ll need to sneak up on them to be able to catch them, remember that. 

Objectives: Catch the chipmunks in the garden. Sneak up on them from behind and catch them in the sack. Remember they are scared of you and your horse, so don’t put your horse too close to any of the holes.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners

You have to approach the chipmunks from behind or from the side. If you approach from the front, they will jump into their hole. When you move away from the hole, they will jump back out, facing a different direction.

When you have caught all of the chipmunks, return to Agnetha.

agnetha

Well done, Rita! There are a lot of those little guys in the sack!

What should we do with these little parasites? I’d like to throw them off a cliff… But Bjorn would never agree to anything like that.

Agnetha? She is completely crazy, Rita! Are you sure you are going to work for her? Did you know she worked on my farm before? But it didn’t work out. Even on Sundays she was out there chopping wood and plowing the fields. I thought she would take some time off… But she never did, ever. She didn’t want me to rest either! I was afraid of going out of my house until it was dark. I had to let her go… It was just too stressful having her here.

But send my greetings to Bjorn and let him know the chipmunks are going to fit in well here. Bye bye, Rita!

Hello Rita! So our little chipmunks are going to have a good life over at Steve’s? That is great to hear. Agnetha can get a little fired up when she thinks people are not working hard enough… So she doesn’t get along well with Steve. I think it is a little sad… Steve and I have a lot in common…

But you, Rita. Now we need to work day and night to get these flowers to bloom! We can’t possibly manage it without your help, so please come here every day, take care of a couple things, and before you know it… It will be harvest time! I’m so excited about all of this, I just might pee myself!

A Vision for the Sun Garden

bjorn

Wait… I have a vision…

Yeeessss! That is how it should be! Think Rita, you are sitting and relaxing, surrounded by our beautiful flowers. What could be more relaxing than that? I’ll tell you! A little pool with bubbling fresh water!

As luck would have it, we already have a pool here but there are so many holes in it that I am afraid to fill it with water. If you can find stones for me, I can patch it. We can’t just use any old rocks… They need to be the exact right kind, otherwise it will look uncommonly awful… You understand, right?

The perfect stones are only at one place in all of Jorvik… Below the cliffs to the Winery. So it isn’t that far away… Pretty lucky right?!

Ride over there, close to the riding arena, and collect some of those perfect stones. Hurry!

Come here for a minute! The garden is even more amazing than I ever would have imagined. It’s really a miracle of never before seen beauty! Not even when the garden was built a long time ago, was it so beautiful here, I’m a billion fantastic percent sure!

But, what I wanted to say is that we must continue our work on restoring the garden, it is our duty! Let’s get started with the next part, the farm house. 

Ride over to the Baroness and tell her that it is time to proceed with the garden project, I will not accept no for an answer from her. It will not do, we must proceed with the garden, must, must, must, right away!!

Flower Proof

baroness

Have they really restored the Sun Garden, Rita? And it looks good? A really good job, you say? I’m not really sure I can really believe what you are saying. I thought at most they would clear up the flower beds but it sounds like they have completely restored everything. Can they continue with the work of restoring the gardens, you ask? 

I don’t know, Rita. It is a big responsibility that requires experienced tradesmen. The vineyard has a long history and I won’t have hobby-builders destroying a part of that history with shoddy work.

For them to continue, I will need to see evidence of the quality of their work, Rita. Let’s do this, around here on the estate we have empty white flower pots that you have probably seen. If Bjorn and Agnetha plant some of their flowers in them, I will get a chance to see how they look. If I find that the flowers are of acceptable quality, then they can continue in their project. Ride back to Bjorn and let them know my decision.

When I asked her why, she told me I should stop whining and get a shovel to help. She also said the old raisins shouldn’t be lying around just collecting a pension! I really had no choice but to tell her she couldn’t work here anymore…

Bushes for the Winery

bjorn

Rita, while we wait for the roses to bloom, you can help me with something else. I know, everything outside of the roses feels completely unimportant right now, but this is another project that really needs to be done.

We have elevated the beauty of the Winery from the old shell it used to be to almost looking like it belongs close to our gardens. But the Winery needs extra help from us to not be completely overshadowed by our fantastic gardens.

Take these bushes and plant them around the mansion Rita, so that the people working up there don’t begin to weep uncontrollably because they have to work up there instead of here with us. 

Objectives: Plant bushes at the Winery.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Ride up to the Winery and dismount your horse to plant the bushes in the indicated places. Return to Bjorn when you are done.

Thank you Rita! Now the workers up by the mansion can enjoy a small sliver of happiness that our garden leaks out into the world.

A Fountain for Agnetha’s Grove

bjorn

A fountain, Rita. A fountain!

That is exactly what we need for Agnetha’s Grove. How could I have not thought of that? Well… Now I AM thinking about it of course… So we need to build a fountain there. Why aren’t you saying anything Rita?

It doesn’t matter… We need to build a fountain right away!

They have a fountain up at the Manor. If they have one then they must have more! Ask Carney if they have an extra fountain they can lend us. 

You don’t think they do? Stop it Rita, there is no room for doubt in my plan. Think positive now!

Objectives: Ask Carney about borrowing a fountain.

An extra fountain to borrow?

Quest completed

______________

Fountain Kit

carney

Yes, there is an extra fountain in the cellar, actually. It is really a kit from JKEA… So you need to put it together yourself. It has been in the cellar for a very long time, so it would be great to see it actually get used.

Take the kit and ride back to Bjorn with it. Let him know he is welcome to have it.

Fountain Building

bjorn

I don’t understand, Rita… How does this fit together… This thingy should attach to that whatchamacallit… Or should this attach to that there?

…

No! This is not going to work! My aesthetic senses are screaming! This manual is not only useless, it is also criminally ugly too!

Rita, I simply can’t look at this manual any longer without vomiting. You can put the fountain together instead. Do it in place in Agnetha’s Grove so I won’t have to look at it until it is finished. Don’t come back here until you are done, we can’t waste a single second until it is done! Hurry, hurry!

Back to Agnetha

conrad_marsdeen

Agnetha, I remember her. She worked for me as an apprentice…

Do you know her?

What do I think of her?

A fantastic person! A dependable rock of a human being. Like me, she worked day and night and never let anything get in the way of the work. I wanted her to remain here as my apprentice so I could teach her the art of blacksmithing and train her to be the best blacksmith Jorvik has ever seen.

But then that hideous Bjorn had carried her off with his talk of gardens and how together they would be famous gardeners. Agnetha would conquer the world, he said, and Agnetha feel for it all. She gave up everything she had to follow him and help him achieve his dreams.

It really was a terrible shame… She had so much potential… And it was all ruined by a ridiculous dreamer with nothing but air between his ears.

But… Love is like that. It can make the best of us do the worst things.

Now, here is an iron gate like you asked for. Let Agnetha know she is always welcome to come back and apprentice for me any time she likes.

Objectives: Ride back to Agnetha.

Littering is a Terrible Crime

bjorn

Rita, a master gardener’s work is never truly done. Have you ever been up to the old race track? You have? Have you seen that behind it there is a bunch of statues and littler? No? I don’t know how they got there but when I saw them, I felt a darkness in myself. Should these fantastic creations just lie here in the trash when they could be out bringing happiness to people who see them placed out around our gardens?

Then cam a vision, Rita, you understand? You know what we need to do? Can you picture it?

No? 

It doesn’t matter, we need to follow my vision. Bring the statues back from the old race track and I’ll explain my plan a bit better.

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!

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.

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.

There is Nothing We Can Do

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!

This turned out better than I thought it would. What a difference it makes to get to sit on benches instead of the ground. We should have listened to Gretchen, she is such a clever girl. I wonder from who she gets that from? Haha!

Objectives: Talk to Gunther.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Yes, Gunther, you are a stupid, stupid man.

gunther

I have nothing to give you as thanks, but I hope that in the future you will get to enjoy having fires here with your friends and maybe even build some more fireplaces. Helga and I have learned a valuable lesson!

Quest completed

Speak with Mr Kembell tomorrow.

Party Food

barney

Hello Rita! You are so fast with your horse, can you ride over and get the food? I am worried that it will be cold otherwise. Marley and Carney will come a bit later and I have some decorations to do. This will be so much fun! I wonder what food they have prepared for this year.

Objectives: Fetch the food from Marley and Carney.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go to both Carney and Marley and pick up the dishes of food near them. Then return to Barney with the food.

barney

This looks really tasty! Now we have to set the tables. This will be a feast to remember!

Quest completed

______________

A Table Set for a Feast

barney

It’s decoration time! Can you help me set the table? This is a special occasion and I really want it to be really good. Myself, I’m not so good at decorating. But I have faith in you, Rita. Here is my grandmother’s fancy china, the glassware and of course the food!

Objectives: Set the table.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse to set up the table behind Barney. Speak with him when you are finished.

barney

Oh look! It’s so nice. I am grateful, Rita. What would I have done without your help! My old grandmother would have given you an A+ for setting the table.

Quest completed

______________

As Thanks for Your Efforts

barney

Now we have a really nice family dinner. Even Carney usually enjoys these dinners. It’s not that often you get to see him smile, but even he lights with tasty food like this on the table!

Objectives: Talk to Barney.

Rewards: 200 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP, Natural T-Shirt

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Barney will give you a reward for helping him with his party.

barney

Here is a sweater from me. I made it fro you so that you would remember these last few days every time you wear it. I hope you like it! Thank you again with your wonderful help!

Quest completed

The Security guard in Fort Pinta is ready for the next step in the important mission.

Security First and Foremost

security

POINT FOUR! Restore security around the base.

What? Calm down? Why should I calm down?

Sorry… Sniff…

You don’t understand… I always wanted to be a soldier, not a security guard. But the doctor said my head was too big to be a soldier… None of the helmets would fit. Sniff… So I daydream a bit every now and then, and pretend I am an officer here in the Fort.

That is okay with you? Really? Thank you. Make sure you tell me if you think I am taking it too far sometimes. Please, let’s keep this our little secret. I wouldn’t want anyone else to know… They might think I’m crazy.

You promise you wont tell anyone?

Objectives: Speak with the guard again.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Fort Pinta

Oh, I’m not judging. My own nerd fantasies are probably much weirder…

security

Thank you, I promise I’ll calm down a bit. I should probably get a dog I can give orders to?

Hmm… That’s not a bad idea. I’m going to think about it.

Quest completed

______________

Chips for the Animals

security

POINT FIVE!

Oops. Sorry. Point five.

If the fugitives… You would say kittens, puppies and so on, run away again we need to be able to identify them quickly. Order… Oops… I mean ask the Silverglade vet nicely if she would comedown here and ID-chip the animals.

MOVE OUT!

Objectives: Speak with the veterinarian in Silverglade about ID-chipping the pet store animals in Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Ride to Silverglade Village and speak with the Vet there.

vet

Hello there Rita!

Quest completed

Return to the Vet tomorrow.

Lock for the Pet Store

security

POINT SIX! Oops… Point six. Sorry if I hurt your ears.

Security is a big problem here at the base… Or should I say Pet Store. There is not even a normal lock on the door.

Requisition immediately a well-made and army approved padlock from the supply officer Marsdeen. You would probably call him Conrad the blacksmith.

MOVE OUT!

Objectives: Ask the blacksmith to deliver a lock for the Pet Store in Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

I’m sure Conrad will be happy to oblige.

conrad_marsdeen

A lock so the pets don’t run away again?

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

There is a problem in the Hollow Woods, near the abandoned summer home.

Can You Smell the Smoke?

helga

Oh dear! What have we done! We were only going to barbecue some bratwurst, and we ended up starting a fire! We didn’t know it wasn’t safe to barbecue here… You have a horse! Can you please gallop down to get some water from the Silversong River? Please hurry before the whole forest catches fire!

Objectives: Ride down to the Silversong River and get some water, extinguish the fires and then talk to Helga.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

To fill up your bucket, go to the river behind the summer home. Follow the river to the little beach; the watermill will be almost directly across the river from here. You have to dismount your horse, then you can fill up your bucket anywhere from the shore.

quest-water_for_fire

When you have filled your bucket, ride around and extinguish the flames. When you are finished, return the Helga.

helga

Thank goodness that you and your fast horse showed up when you did! You saved the whole forest. Oh, it could have been so bad.

Quest completed

______________

Talk About Safety First with Gretchen

gretchen

I told my mother and father that it wasn’t a good idea to barbecue bratwurst here! They never listen to me. But now they have learned a valuable lesson. If they try to do something like that again, I will stop them.

Objectives: Talk to Gretchen.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

You need to be more insistent then in the future, so they don’t make the same mistake…

gretchen

I hope they will listen to me next time. I always tell them how they should do things out in the woods but they never listen. Maybe they will listen to me now.

Quest completed

______________

Talk About Fire Safety with Gunther

gunther

Yes oh, what have we done… Gretchen said it would not be a good idea, but it was so beautiful here, a nice view and a lovely breeze from the forest. I was so hungry!

Objectives: Talk about fire safety with Gunther.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Maybe Smokey the Bear needs to make a visit to Germany…

gunther

No, no, I promise to never start a fire on open ground again. I’m really sorry! My wife and I will ask if we can build some new fireplaces for barbecue for people in the woods. Then we could barbecue bratwurst at a lot of places!

Quest completed

______________

A Grill for the Barbecue

gunther

What do you say, can you help me build a fireplace? We need stone as foundation, wood for nice benches and a grill to put the sausages on. You know this neighborhood better than we, so you may know where to find it all. We have heard about a blacksmith with good reputation. Maybe that’s the first step, to get him to make a grill?

Objectives: Find the blacksmith Gunther is talking about.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Oh, Conrad? He has lots of street cred with the locals.

conrad_marsdeen

Hello Rita! Nice to see you here. You need a grill? Of course I will help you, you have helped me collect wood so many times so it’s the least I can do. But it won’t be ready today, come back tomorrow.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

Feed each of the three horses in the stable, then return to Barney.

Quest completed

______________

The Escaped Rabbits

security

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Runaway Cats

security

Hrmph…

POINT THREE! Find the kittens!

Five kittens have deserted their posts at the base… err… I should say Pet Store. The runaways should be in Fort Pinta. Those little kittens are sneaky and easily able to get behind enemy lines… So they will be difficult to find.

Be careful. This is your most difficult assignment yet!

GO GO GO!

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP
