There are strange happenings afoot in the farmlands of Antonica. Ponchy Shorttoe, a pumpkin pie crazed halfling, has asked me to investigate the disturbance over at the McQuibble farm. Whatever this disturbance is has completely cut the supply of pumpkins in Antonica. Ponchy is quite chagrined over the shortage of his favorite harvest treat.
Stage 1
I need to head out to the McQuibble farm in Antonica. To get there I need to head South of Windstalker Village into the Northern Farmlands. Once there I should look for some clues that may explain why the pumpkins won't grow.
Start: | I need to look for clues in the McQuibble's farm house. |
---|
Complete: | I have searched the farm house for clues. |
---|
Start: | I should look around the fields to the southwest of the farm house to see if I notice anything strange. |
---|
Complete: | I have taken a look around the southwest fields. |
---|
Start: | I should examine the fields to the northeast of the farm house and see if I can detect anything amiss. |
---|
Complete: | I have examined the northeast fields. |
---|
I have found a few clues, but nothing that explains why the fields lay fallow.Stage 2
I should find and question the McQuibbles and anyone else in Windstalker Village who could shed some light on the pumpkin blight.
Start: | I need to ask Angelina McQuibble about the fire at the farm. |
---|
Complete: | Angelina refuses to speak on the subject of the fire. |
---|
Start: | I need to speak with Bobby McQuibble about the fire at the farm. |
---|
Complete: | Bobby dismissed me rather quickly. |
---|
Start: | I should question Old Man McQuibble about his farm. |
---|
Complete: | Old Man McQuibble wouldn't let me question him. |
---|
Start: | I should find someone who may know the McQuibbles and see if he or she knows anything about the fire. |
---|
Complete: | I have spoken with Merle Trevine. |
---|
I have spoken with the McQuibbles, who were rather closed lipped. The neighbor on the other hand shared quite an interesting story with me about the McQuibbles.Stage 3
I need to go back to Ponchy Shorttoe in Windstalker Village and tell him what I've learned. I don't think he will be terribly pleased with my findings.
Start: | I need to tell Ponchy what I've found out. |
---|
Complete: | I have spoken with Ponchy. |
---|
I have spoken with Ponchy. The poor fella nearly started crying when I couldn't explain the lack of pumpkins.Stage 4
Ponchy has asked me to seek out Professor Heribert to see if he can help me get to the bottom of this mystery.
Start: | I need to find Professor Heribert in the tavern in Windstalker Village. |
---|
Complete: | I have spoken with the Professor. |
---|
I have found the Professor. He has given me a new task to help in discovering the truth behind the lack of pumpkins. I have investigated the McQuibble farm for Ponchy and questioned the McQuibbles. I could find no reasonable explanation to the pumpkin shortage. It looks as if the farm house was lost in a fire, but there doesn't look to be any damage to the fields. I sense there is something rather sinister lurking just beneath the surface here, I need to keep digging towards the truth. I should see Professor Heribert to continue the investigation.
