Heroes' Guild
-------------
Okay, as long as we're here, we may as well grab the gold quest that the Guild 
Master keeps harping on about. Go to the map table. You have an option of one 
of two mutually exclusive quests to perform. You can either protect or attack 
the orchard farm. Attacking it will give you slightly more money. Naturally, 
there's going to be an effect on your alignment, depending on which one you 
decide to perform. Once you have one of the two quests, run over to where the 
demon door is and look for some ripples in the pool. You should catch a blue 
mushroom here. That's two.

The Guild Woods
---------------
Head into the woods now. You will see a new green dot. Talk to Cyril and accept 
his letter for Myra. As long as we're here, take a look in the pool near where 
you killed the bandits for another fishing place. Fish here to grab your third 
silver key.

Greatwood Entrance
------------------
Well, we've about accomplished everything we can in the area right around the 
guild, time to branch out a little bit. Head into Lookout Point and go south to 
the Greatwood Entrace (just follow the flashing gold icon if you're not sure 
where to go). On the way through Lookout Point, grab a boast or two, if you 
like (or you could have already done this when you took the quest in the first 
place).

In the Greatwood, you'll be taunted by Whisper, who will have taken the 
opposite quest from you. No matter, you've beaten her once, doing so again 
shouldn't prove to be a problem.

Anyway, head to the southeast corner of the map (it looks like a path out of 
the area, but in fact there is no exit there). You'll find three Health 
Potions, a Will Potion, and a chest that holds a Will Master's Elixir. Not a 
bad haul!

Notice on your map that along the path from Lookout Point is another alcove 
area. You won't immediately find anything in there, but if you are there right 
around eleven to noon, a chest will appear (the place ought to be fairly 
obvious) from which you can take a Piercing Augmentation. In my experience, the 
chest won't appear if you are watching the square area. The best way to find it 
is to use the teleportation trick. Stand in front of where the chest will 
appear and teleport yourself to the guild. Then go to Lookout Point and watch 
the statue. When you see the message that it is pointing at Greatwood, recall 
to the chest, at which point you can open it up.

Finally, on the southern side of the map, look for a circle of mushrooms, which 
is actually a digging spot. Use your spade here to find a golden carrot. Now, 
before we head over to Orchard Farm, let's take a quick detour to Fisher Creek.

Fisher Creek
------------
When you come into this area, the fisher will be under attack. Take down the 
wasps, and you'll immediately be given a new bronze quest, not to mention a new 
fishing pole.

N1. Fishing Lessons                                       [FABLEFISHINGLESSION] 
===================
Quest Type - Bronze
Prereqs - Guild Training 
Money - 0
Renown - 0
Boasts - None

There are several ripples in the water for you to use. You should catch a 
Golden Fish (which is a trophy), a working moustache, 100 gold, a silver key, 
and a moonfish. In addition, there are leather gauntlets in the chest for you 
to wear. In the house you'll find a book (A Hero's Journey) on the bookshelf.

N2. Fishing Competition                                      [FABLEFISHINGCOMP] 
=======================
Quest Type - Bronze
Prereqs - Fishing Lessons 
Money - 0
Renown - 50
Boasts - None

Leave the area, then return to enter the fishing contest. Talk to the guy to 
enter the contest, then throw your line into the river (no need to find a 
ripple, we're actually looking for a normal fish here). You want to get one 
that is at least 50 grams (I have never failed to get one that was at least 50 
grams by just fishing off the end of the pier a time or two, so this shouldn't 
be a problem). Once you have this, show it to the fisherman to claim your 
reward (a Fisherman Hat, The Rod of Champions, and another silver key (you 
should now have 5 in all)). Note that this is one of those very annoying quests 
that never leaves your "Current Quests" list. There are a few of these in the 
game. Once you've gotten all three rewards, there is no need to worry about 
this quest further, though you can pick up some spare cash any time you beat 
your previous score, if you like.

Greatwood Lake
--------------
Return to the Greatwood Entrance, and from there enter Greatwood Lake. If you 
take the path to the right, you'll come across a broken bridge and, more 
importantly, your sixth silver key. Return the way you came and cross the good 
bridge. You'll have a small fight, and once you're done, make sure to hit the 
chest. Note that this is a Silver Key chest, and requires 5 silver keys to 
open. Fortunately, you don't use up your keys when you open a chest, so don't 
worry on that account. Inside you will find an Elixir of Life. A little further 
on you'll find a health potion on the ground near the big ball statue. Continue 
to Orchard Farm.

Orchard Farm
------------
When you get here, a short cut scene will play. When it's done, you'll have 
three waves of three bandits each to fight (if you are doing the Protection of 
Orchard Farm quest) followed by a battle with Whisper. Beat the tar out of the 
entire group, and at the end of it you'll get Whisper's Brooch (that'll teach 
her to mess with you, or will it?).

If, on the other hand, you are attacking the farm, you have four waves of three 
guards each to take down. You and your two thief friends must snatch three 
crates from the barn. When you're done with this task, Whisper finally shows up 
(a bit late, isn't she?). Again, beat her into submission and take her Brooch. 
Silly woman.

There are a few things you can get while you're here. There's a chest around 
the back of the barn that contains a Jet (a type of gem). In the small pond is 
a fishing spot where you can fish up an Elixir of Life. Check over in the lake 
to the east to find two more fishing spots (you'll get a Coron Visor Tattoo 
card and another silver key, one of these spots is not so easy to find, it's 
off of a pier near the orchard). Make sure to check around all the fruit 
baskets, where you will find no less than 8 green apples. 

N3. Hidden Booty Hunt                                        [FABLEHIDDENBOOTY] 
=====================
Quest Type - Bronze
Prereqs - Guild Training 
Money - 0
Renown - 100
Boasts - None

Returning back along this path you will come across another treasure chest 
(watch to your right as you come through the fence) to find Treasure Clue #5 
(actually your first clue, there will be six in all). This activates the bronze 
quest. Note that there is a digging spot near the barn, but even if you find 
it, DO NOT dig here yet (you probably won't since it doesn't actually activate 
the spade quick-icon). Digging here prematurely will seriously cripple the item 
buried here. You'll be back for it later, don't worry.

Behind the house is a grave. Digging there will reveal an Upper Dress. The only 
other thing to do in this area is to actually get inside the house. We'll get 
inside in a bit. For now, teleport back to the Guild and check the map table. 
There are two quests available, a Silver and a Gold (there is another Silver 
quest, Hobbe Cave, but most likely you don't yet have the renown to take this 
quest, so we'll do it later). For now, take the silver quest, the Hobbe Killing 
Contest.

N4. Hobbe Killing Contest                                   [FABLEHOBBEKILLING] 
=========================
Quest Type - Silver
Prereqs - Protect / Attack Orchard Farm 
Money - 900
Renown - 200
Boasts - No Protection, Without a Scratch, Fist Fighter, Humble Whisper
      
Orchard Farm
------------ 
Take this quest and recall back to Orchard farm. When you get there, you'll 
find Whisper (look who's back!). Your job is to kill more Hobbes than she does. 
Sounds easy, but Whisper tends to cheat a lot by kill stealing. You'll probably 
need a better weapon or use a spell like Time Slow to get the edge over her. No 
matter how you do it, make sure that when the counter reaches zero, you have 
more kills that she does to win the competition. When you do, you get a Hobbe 
Tooth trophy, as well as some extra money and renown.

Lookout Point
-------------
Run or teleport back to Lookout Point, where you will find a new green dot 
awaiting your arrival. It seems a merchant needs an escort to the farm. Agree 
to the mini quest and head toward the farm. Keep the bandits off the merchant 
as you go through Greatwood Entrance. The more damage the merchant takes, the 
less reward you will receive. When you get to the farm, be sure to follow the 
merchant to the farm house. This is the only time in the game when the door to 
the farm will be open. Go inside to pick up a couple of books (The Rotten Apple 
and Making Friends).
