I Know What You’re Really Doing Here…

…

What?

… Eh… Here to say hello, you say?

…

Eh…

I know… Um… What you’re really doing here, so don’t even try.

…

Umm… I wasn’t sure before but now I know. Some horses are missing and they started disappearing as soon as you came along.

…

Eh…

So that’s why you have to… Umm…

You’re innocent, you say? Eh…

…

Umm… If you’ve done nothing wrong, then you’ll be able to answer a few questions.

…

Okay?

I Trust You

Why are you asking Rita a load of questions? Don’t you trust her? Well I trust you, in any case Rita.

I know she’s definitely got nothing to do with any missing horses.

Right, Rita?

The Wild Horses Are Becoming Fewer and Fewer…

Umm…

…

Well you must understand that I’ve started to become suspicious that some of the island’s wild horses are disappearing. Seems there are fewer and fewer every day.

…

Ehh…

That’s why I thought… Along with… Umm… Madison… That we should attach transmitters to the horses so we can… Ehh… Keep track of them.

…

Ehh…

Since you’ve got Summerblaze with you, might you be able to ride out and meet Madison? Then you can attach the transmitters to the horses.

Umm… It’s… Eh… Rather tricky. To be able to get the transmitter… Eh… Attached… You need to keep up the pace with the horse you’re trying to attach it to.

…

Do you understand?

Umm… Good.

…

Ride out and attach transmitters to the horses. Ehh… What are you waiting for?

Objectives: Attach transmitters to all the horses as quickly as you can.

Reputation: 50 with South Hoof

This is a race in which you have ten minutes to attach three transmitters. The horses are circling just up the hill from the Hermit’s cottage. To attach a transmitter, ride behind the horse until the bar fills up. If you get too far away from the horse, you will lose your progress and will have to start over by chasing the horse again. When you attached all three transmitters, your time will drop to one minute to return to the Hermit and complete the race.

… Um… How did it go?

Why Are You Still Here?

Yes…

Ehh… Then it’s just a case of waiting. Not much has happened since you… Umm… Attached the transmitters to the horses.

…

Ehh…

…

Why are you still here?

Umm… I need… To get a drink of water… Then… Water the carrot patch.

Ehh… Bye.

You should say hello to him. I think he’ll remember you. I’ve told him lots about you; how you saved us from Cape Sorrow and when you captured that evil hen Samara. Nightdust has really been looking forward to meeting you again, haha!

See Rita? I’m up on Nightdust’s back and he’s calm and happy! Haha, me and Nightdust have been training hard at this!

Together we’ve run away from dinosaurs, dragons, and even exploding volcanoes! Haha, all to be able to challenge you, Rita. Come on, pleeeease?! What do you say, agent? Haha! Shall we see who can be the first to fly their dragon to Hightower?

Or no, wait! If we’ve got dragons, then I wanna be a Paladin! I dunno what one is but I played a game one time and one of the characters was a Paladin. If we’re dragon riders, I can be a Paladin and you can be a… Knight!

Education time kiddos!

The Paladins, sometimes known as the Twelve Peers, were the foremost warriors of Charlemagne’s court, according to the literary cycle known as the Matter of France.

In terms of fantasy RPGs, the Paladin is a class of Warrior that is fully devoted to kindness and ridding the Universe of Evil. They are very religious, and have an extremely strict honor code, as well as a soft spot for children and animals. In combat, a Paladin with a cause is almost impossible to defeat. They are the embodiment of Lawful Good.

…

This is a standard race across the open moors of South Hoof. The purple flowers mark flag edges of the checkpoints.

Haha! That was soooo fun! We need to do that again!
