Sunday, 24 Autumn

First time I've found Iris on my farm... early morning, to the left of my farmhouse.
Iris:  When I was a little girl, I used to go watch and wonder at the seeds sprouting up in th efarm's fields...

Legendary Meuniere: 1200G

Great Hot Pepper: 120G
Habanero: 100G
  A variety of hot pepper that thrives in swampy areas.

Mandrake: 150G
  Magical carrot that thrives in lowland areas.

Sunny Red: 100G
  Fall flower that has bright orange petals.

Point Values in Autumn Cooking Contest

 This is a peculiar situation.  It makes sense that the Autumn Cooking Contest, the second of its kind, has higher requirements than the Spring one.  I believe I won with a Fried Egg in that one.  Here, however, there were surprising results.  I do not know if the point values are constant or random, but it appears that they must be set in advance even if random, as I tried again and again and the only dish with sufficient point values to win was the Grilled Bluegill.  Ironically, Grilled Rainbow Trout, made with Great Butter instead of regular Butter, was worth only 1200 Points.

Winning with the Grilled Bluegill at 2000 points, I received an Onyx Ore as a 'grand prize'.  Although every one who participated was supposed to get a prize, I received nothing more, either as winner or even when I was third place or did not place at all...  So the only participation prize is given the first time you enter the Contest which, for me, was in Spring.

Grilled Bluegill: 2000 Points
Got Onyx Ore
Emily 1514 points
Tony: 1359

Great Fried Egg: did not win
Emily 1755 points
Tony: 1684
Iris: 1466

It says every one gets participation prize, but I think that is only the first time you enter.  Got nothing.

Great Meuniere did not win!
1887 Iris won
Tony: 1592
Emily: 1528

Blissful Bread (did not make myself)
1798 Tony
Iris in third with 1376 points... did not even show!

Event ends at 5.00 p.m.  The only dish I had that would get enough points was the Grilled Bluegill, ironically.

If I enter Grilled Rainbow Trout, made with Great Butter, it won't win!  Why does the Grilled Bluegill get more points?  Tony with less than 1700 points won that one.  I got third place with 1200 Points!  How bizarre!


23 Autumn, Cooking Contest

Hanna is in my house at 6.00 a.m.

Goooood morning, Freyashawk!  Today is our town's Cooking Contest!  Participants get scored on the dishes that they enter, and the higheest score wins!  If you want to compete, talk to me between 10 a.m. and 2.59 p.m.  I'll be in the town square.  Hope you'll take part, Freyashawk!

She is at four notes... wonder if it will increase at all through participation in the contest.

When I reload, Hunter is there immediately after;  I done got some good news.  Sonate gave birth to a baby.  Let's head over to the barn.  I wanna show y'all the precious thing.

The mother has not increased in loyalty (notes) and the baby has only 1/2 musical note so I see no advantage to using the potion particularly apart from being cheaper than buying a cow.

Sam at 3 notes speaks of bringing his daughter to my farm.  'One of dese days I'm gonna bring my daughter ta yiour farm, Freyashawk.  I'd like ta do dat...

After the contest:  Geddoudda here.  where did yiu learn to cook like dat?  Youse gotta let me try dat grub sometimes...

I'm a happy guy, you know why?  Cause I got to know a stand up gal like youse!

Not every one speaks of the contest.

Iris will say:  You're a good cook, Freyashawk!  I was surprised just how good!

Hanna at 4 notes:  I'll tell you what, I'm going to cook up that tasty soup I remember when I was little, yes, indeedy!

Emily at 5:  When I was little, the vegetables I ate came from your farm and they were delicious!  I want some more!

Hunter: Well, I aint much fer cookin' except the basics!  I just marvel at you winnin' that Cookin' Festival.

The people that speak of it did not even compete, apart from Iris, who was in some results.  The people who competed were Tony and Emily.

Sam stands next to my farm tonight.  I need to make a full schedule of every one who visits.

Sunday 29 May 2016

Thursday, 21 Autumn: Hanna's Birthday

I have been giving almost every one Most Favourite Gifts on a daily basis.  All the Eligible Bachelors have a full five Musical Notes... most of the Eligible Girls almost have the maximum.  Hanna is not at five...

I find her in the Square at 8.30 a.m.

Hanna: Wishing me a happy birthday, are you, Freyashawk?    Thanks!  Another year older, hoo boy...!

Hanna's Birthday
Got: Romanesco Seeds: 5

I give her my last Onion.

Hanna:  How about tghat!  A birthday present for me?  I love it!  Tee-hee!  Thank you, Freyashawk!

She was at 3 1/2 musical notes... now at a full 4 Musical Notes.

Have a total of 10 Sunny Reds now, but selling them to Sam does not unlock the seeds at Iris' Stand.

At 9.00 a.m., Hanna and April are both in the Square (in separate locations), Hunter is in his animal paddock, Iris is down by the river to the left of Hunter's house and Luke is outside of his house.

Tuesday, 19 Autumn: Earth and Ore Event, Mandrake Seeds Unlocked

I reloaded and reloaded until I had a total of 30 Mandrakes... kept getting a total of 29!  Finally though, had it and sold them to Sam.  This UNLOCKED Mandrake Seeds!  Huzzah!  Now I can focus on the Angel Lantern...

In one result, the six Crimson Seeds I had planted (reward) produced one Killer Tomato but I needed the Mandrake Seeds more I believe.

At 7.00 p.m. I found Andrea on my original farmland, (near side of the river), in the southwest corner in the same position that I often find Gilbert or April.  Her Event triggered when I spoke to her.

Andrea:  Hey, Freyashawk!  Still hard at work?  Don't overwork yourself!  But I have to say, you've really turned this farm into something impressive!  It's as if since you came, the whole place was suddenly spruced up with a colourful paint job!  How can I put it... It's like you see the world in a whole different light than I do.  I want to know more about you, Freyashawk!  Tell me about yourself!

My choices now:

I'd rather not.

Sure!

And I want to hear more about you.

I chose:  And I want to hear more about you.

Andrea:  Huh?!  Is that a line you picked up somewhere?  Even if it is, it's a nice thing to say to a girl.  I think we've got a lot to talk about!  You and I may march to the beat of different drummers, but I feel like we have something in common.  At the very least, just like you, I moved here because this place captured my imagination!  You and I should work together to protect this place, whatever it takes to do that.  I love the voice of the rocks!  I love the voices of people!  But the voice I really love is yours!  So when you come to the bar, use that voice of yours, and let's get into conversation!  Ah-ha-ha!

Earth and Ore
Got: Ruby

If I had chosen:  I'd rather not.

Andrea:  Aw, don't say that!  Well, anyway, even if you won't tell me, your actions will!  You and I may march to the beat... etc.

If I had chosen:  Sure!

Andrea:  Really?  Great!  That's what I like about you, Freyashawk!  You're a straight shooter.  You and I may march to the beat... etc.

I can experience this as early as 4.00 p.m.

While i was walking about, looking for Andrea, I discovered something very useful!  I had been afraid to cut down any trees on my farm in places where I remembered planting fruit trees but in fact, the game distinguishes between Trees YOU have planted and ones that crop up spontaneously.  If it is a tree that you planted, you will see a prompt asking if you wish to use your axe on the tree!  So you can cut down trees on your farm without any anxiety that you may have destroyed your precious fruit trees!

17 Autumn, Luke's Birthday

Selling 20 Mandrake to Sam will not unlock Mandrake Seeds, so perhaps I will be unable to unlock them in this first autumn.

Luke:  Oh, is it my birthday?  Thanks for remembering!

Luke's Birthday
Yellow Dahlia Seeds: 5

For Egg, Luke:  Whoa!  You got me a birthday present?  I love it!  Great gift!  Thanks so much!

All species of Fish may be a Most Favourite for Gilbert.  I gave him a Goby after failing to catch any Mosquitofish and he showed red hearts... only difference is that Goby is worth more when shipped!

Flower Mutations:

Pink Carnations are the autumn mutation of regular Carnations.  Got Pink Carnations and Great Carnations today.

I walk into the Sprite Tree at 10.20 p.m.  It is a cloudy night.

Dewy is shaking his head back and forth.  His eyes are shut.

Dewy:  Hey, what's the big idea!  Who invited you, you big lunk?  I'm busy here, can't you see?  I don't have time to play with you just 'cause you showed up!

Rowan:  Dewy, what a pack of lies!  You've been whining for Freyashawk to visit recently!

Blossom:  Why do you have to be such a liar, Dewy?!  Let's play together and have looooooooots and lots of fun!  (two musical hearts)

Dewy:  Waaaaahhhh, you shuddup!  You tattletale!  (1 1/2 hearts only)  WAAAHHHHHH!  Freyashawk!  Don't pay any attention to what they said!

Dewy's Dilemma
Got Pink Spinach Seeds: 5

Rowan is at 2 1/2 hearts, the highest of the three.

Monday, 18 Autumn:  Rainy Day

I impregnated my youngest adult Cow by using Miracle Potion.  Will see how long it takes.  When I left the barn, she moved ot a stall... now I cannot interact with her, which is fine by me.  I have far more than sufficient chorse.

Thursday 26 May 2016

Thursday, 14 Autumn: Hunter's Birthday

Went to Hunter's Shop.

Hunter:  Huh... Guess it is muh birthday... I always clean forget it...
Hunter's Birthday
 Miracle Potion

Gave him Millk:  A birthday gift, huh?  An' it's somethin' I like.  Ain't that a nice gift... Thanks...

Of course I had to refuse to offer him the Blue Feather before I even could talk to the man... it's like that with all the Bachelors now.  I need to decide upon one to marry.  It will be either Tony or Luke for a start... like both of them.  I would like Gilbert, apart from his desire for fish, except that his endless versifying is a little annoying.   I will marry all of them in the end, but will not save the results.  Gareth isn't too bad, once you get to know him.  Hunter has that awful way of speaking.

Sadly, selling 15 Mandrake to Sam does not unlock the seeds so one must sell at least 20 I expect, and possibly 25.  Will try to find out before the season's end.

Wednesday, 13 Autumn: Harvest Goddess 2nd Event

Yesterday I unlocked White Celery by selling 10 to Sam.  I could not unlock Mandrake when I sold 10 to Sam, nor when I sold 12... I have a theory now.  If the mutation is a 1st Generation Mutation, you can unlock it by shipping 10 but if it is a 2nd Generation Crop, you need more... whether 15 or 20 I do not know yet.

Today after giving a Strawberry to the HG, I experienced her next event:

HG:  Tee-hee-hee!  How nice of you to visit!  Your Harvest Goddess has her ways of knowing just how hard you are working!  Please keep being kidn of my Harvest Sprites!  I know it's not easy to restore the lost memories...  But if any one can do it, it's my plucky Freyashawk!  Your Harvest Goddess has confidence in you!  Keep on making memories with all your friends in the town!

7 Autumn, Naomi's Birthday

Cosmos is an autumn flower... got Giant Cosmos and Sunny Red a couple of days ago by planting it.

The Sunny Red is quite lovely.  I suppose one would unlock the seeds still by selling to Sam, except I imagine it would be Iris that would sell them.

Today is Naomi's Birthday.  I found her outside the bar a little after 1.00 p.m.

 Naomi:  You remembered my birthday?  You'd make a good reporter with a great head for facts like that!  Thanks!

Naomi's Birthday
Got: Sunflower Seeds 5

Give her Celery:  You got a birthday present for me?  Your sources wre right on: you picked one I love!  Thanks!

Jimmy, at 2 1/2 notes, now is outside my house on Thursday mornings.  I notice that, as their affection levels increase, people grativate to my farm.  Sam now visits.  Brutus has been visiting for a very long time.  Gareth is outside my house late at night on certain nights.  Gilbert and Catherine are down by the river.  Emily stands near the Sprite house.   Will have to log the specific days.

The weather is set quite far in advance... so if you really wish to avoid a storm, go forward at least 6 days to see if there is a storm.  I would imagine that, if you save your game BEFORE midnight, you can change the outcome of the weather a week in the future, but after 1.00 a.m., it will be set.

I did notice that the large boulders that drop are set as well at least a day in advance.  Even when I reloaded, they still were there.  So that is another problem...

At 1.00 p.m. on Thursday, Andrea is in the restaurant.

Sunny Red: 100G
  Fall flower that has bright orange petals.

I give Gorgan a Pink Pansy and when I speak to him afterwards, get an event:

Gorgan:  Hmm... Again you come into my presence, Freyashawk...?  What brings you here?  I do not conccern myself with surface dwellers!  No matter how many things you bring me from the surface world, my hate for surface dwellers will not abate!  I must plug that hole to the surfae... I must find an even larger boulder...  BW Ha Ha Ha!  If I plug the hole, you could not longer plague me with your visits!  the problem is to find a boulder of just the right size... Hmmm...

Gorgon's Grudge:
Got: Opal


If I catch three more fish, I will get: 

Fishing Fanatic
Crimson Seeds

Sally in town:  Isn't today's your birthday?  Then I have a question: how old are you now?

Hunter (in shop);  ... Today's y'all's birthday, huh?  Happy birthday...

When I leave his shop, Catherine is outside:  Ahem... I believe... today is your birthday...?  Happy birthday!  I only say that grudgingly!

Tabitha:  My witchy wisdom tells me its your birthday!  I could turn you into a frog for the occasion!

Gareth: My records indicate that today ius your birthday.  I don't really understand this ritual, but happy birthday.

Harvest God's Thanks
Got: Peridot

Wednesday, 29 Summer, Mad Mountain Event

If Andrea has over 3 full musical notes, you will find her at 4.00 p.m. or later to the right of Gilbert's Tent on Wednesday afternoon.  Speak to her to initiate her event.

Andrea:    How are you feeling?  By the way, something surprising happened: that boulder vanished!  And since the boulder's been gone, the mountain seems to have settled down a little.  Removing the boulder seems to have released pent-up anger from the mountain.  But what happened to the boulder?  Where did it vanish to?  I went down the hole, and found nothing...  Hold on... Did you do something/  The expression on your face is one of shock...  You DID do something...  Forget it, never mind.  Not everything can be explained in words.  I'm going to get to the bottom of what makes this mountain tick!  Just watch me!

The Mad Mountain
Got Emerald Ore: 2

This event is wholly based on Andrea's Heart Level and will not unlock Gorgan... in fact, it is the conversation that occurs in the bar at a far lower heart level that initiates the Boulder Event when Rowan tells you there is BIG TROUBLE on the mountain.  It simply is another Memory that must be experienced in order to complete the full list.

I received my first Ultimate Egg from Sparkle this morning.

If you do not ship or sell one of any new item, it may not appear in the 'Collected' section of the Encyclopedia.

Great Princess Eye: 300G
  High quality princess'-eye Strawberry.

I actually reloaded after experiencing this and forgot that I had done this... went into the mine and down to 75th floor.

On 29 Summer, I go back into the mine to make more cash for the Barn expansion.  Come out, rush about making Gems from Ores, selling them to Sam, making more and finally ordering the Big Barn.

I then see Andrea near the tent again and speak to her.  The Mad Mountain event triggered... So now I have it in reality.

Wednesday 18 May 2016

Hunter's 4th Heart Event, Tuesday, 28 Summer

Unsaved because I am skipping ahead to see if I can harvest sufficient Brown carrots to unlock the seeds before the end of Summer.

In any case, I suspected it had to occur on one of his day's off, and I was right.  Found Hunter between my Animal Barn and Chicken Coop early Tuesday afternoon and spoke to him to initiate his Fourth Heart Event.  The earliest you can find him will be 11.00 a.m. I believe.

Huh... Howdy, Freyashawk.  Work been keepin' y'all busy?  Don't work y'all's fingers t'th'bone.  ,...  When I come 'round 'yall's farm, I recollect my days bein' a young'un...  There were tons a' cows on this farm back then.  Big 'uns ... too An' I was buddies with 'em...  Those're some mighty precious memories... But somehow, they done slipped muh mind for a spell...  Then y'all settled in on this here farm, an' I started in t' rememberin' ... Much obliged...  I'm happy y'all settled down here, Freyashawk... I'm glad t' have met y'all...  But... I ain't so good wirth words.  Maybe.. Maybe that gets on y'all's nerves, huh?  Why do y'all put up with muh tongue-tied ways, anyway...?

My choices now:

No partiicular reason.
It's not easy sometimes.
I just feel relaxed around you.

As much as I wished to complain (and scream), I chose;  I just feel relaxed around you.

Hunter: ... Well, shucks.  That sure is nice a'y'all t' say.  Y'all're really somethin'... Even talkin' t'a fella like me, an' bein' friends with all the folks...  I sure do respect that.  I wish I could be like y'all...  Be some kinda, shucks, I dunno... bridge a' understandin' 'tween th' animals and th' folks...  Y'all're a peach of a friend... I jus' want t' keep our friendship goin' good...

Hunter's Memory
Miracle Milk: 5

If I had chosen: No particular reason.
Naw, I s'pose there ain't no partic'lar reason, is there...?  Boy howdy...  Y'all're really somethin'... etc.

If I chose:  It's not easy sometimes.

 Hunter:  Shucks... I sure as shootin' need t'figure out how t'speak better.  Y'all're really somethin...

Sally:  I don't get all excited over birthdays since I'm not a little kid!  Thanks for saying it though.

Sally's Birthday
Cosmos Seeds

Gave her Strawberry Jam:  A birthday present?  For me?  Oh, it's something I was hoping I'd get!  Thanks!

Andrea is at the southwest corner of my farm at night tonight.  She has over 3 Musical Hearts.

Sunday, 26 Summer, April's Field of Flowers

When I leave the house, I find April down i the southwest corner of my original field.  As soon as I speak to her, I experience her event.

April: Mmm-hee.... H-Hello, Freyashawk...  When I was little, I... I played in a field of flowers... that used to be here...  I-It's not here anymore, but... I w=wish I could go see it again... s-somehow...  N-Not just by myself, but to... to show it to everybody in town... I want them to see it, too...  I want to fill the town with flowers and... and make it like one big field of flowers...

My choices now:

I look forward to seeing that.

That would take a long time.

Is that even possible...?

I choose:  I look forward to seeing that.

April:  Mmm-heee...  Thank you.  I want to bring lots of flowers into everybodys lives.  Nothing would make me happier than... than for everybody to love flowers like I do!  Isn't it funny?  I don't get embarrassed and tongue-tied when I talk about flowers...  If it's about flowers, I can express just what I'm feeling... but only about flowers.  I... I'm such a shy person, so... I can't speak when lots of people are around, but...  But I show what i feel to every one through flowers.  When I bring flowers to people, they smile... and that makes me s=so happy...

If I chose:  That would take a long time...

April:  M-Maybe so, but... um, but someday...  Isn't it funny?  I don't get embarrassed and tongue-tied when I talk about flowers...  If it's about flowers, I can express just what I'm feeling... but only about flowers.  I... I'm such a shy person, so... I can't speak when lots of people are around, but...  But I show what i feel to every one through flowers.  When I bring flowers to people, they smile... and that makes me s=so happy...


If I choose:  Is that even possible...?

April:  Maybe it' impossible, but...but I'll still try my best!  Isn't it funny?  etc.

Fields of Flowers
Got Viola Seeds

Selling 13 Brown Carrots won't do it... need more.  Selling 14 Brown Carrots won't do it either so it has to be at least 20 I iimagine.  Selling 7 Bell Pepper does nothing.  Have to sell at least 20 Brown Carrots to unlock them.

Brutus is at my farm in the evening.  Is fo ryou job to protect this place.  The place is important for Brutus.


Saturday, 25 Summer: The Second House Upgrade and Zucchini Seeds

Another red letter day as it were.  I awakened late but had a good harvest of some Angel Lanterns, a Princess Eye and a Great Princess Eye, which means that summer would be the natural season for the Princess Eye.  I had a Zucchini as well so took 6 of them to Sam to see if I could unlock the seeds.  To my chagrin, I was able to unlock them by selling only 3!  This means I could have unlocked them a few days ago, I expect.  I never dreamed the requirements would be THAT low!

To my delight, both Sheep were ready to be sheared.  Very disappointing a few days ago to shear both of them and have a total then of 19 Wool only, one short of the number needed for the house upgrade.

I went to the Forge then to speak to Brutus.

By the way, Andrea is in the Restaurant on Saturday morning before noon.  Hunter is up near the Spa on Saturday but that is not the location of his final Heart Event.  His level is more than sufficient but I need to find the place and time for it.

Giant House: 400,000G, 20 Wool, 50 Hardwood, 3 Adamantite

And now my full stupidity is made manifest, because when I look at the pulldown menu for the Wool requirement, I see the following options:

Wool: 20
Great Wool: 15
Ultiamte Wool: 10
Fluorite: 5
Opal: 5

I could have used the Gems ages ago!!!!

Got Giant House
Brutus:  Okay.  brutus make quick.  We go to house now.

In front of my house now:
Brutus:  Brutus make your house better. 
Screen darkens and sounds of construction, then:
The beautiful huge house is shown.

Brutus and I stare at it with awe.
Me 9wth music:
Brutus:  Brutus hope you like new house.  With house this big, you can have child.  But you will be needing crib if you are wanting to have child.  brutus can also help with this.  I go home now.

The Huge House
Got: Killer Tomato Seeds: 5

Crib: 2500G
  Hardwood Lumber: 5
  Wool: 5

Or can be:
Great Wool: 4
Ultimate Wool: 3
Supreme Wool: 2
Miracle Wool: 1

Silver: 1

So I reload to use the Fluorite I have instead... can then use some of the Wool for the Crib and be done with it all.

I have to return there anyway because foolishly I took the horse and he was left behind when Brutus whisked me off to my farm to build the house.

So back I go to find that his menu is:

Animal Barn Upgrader: 245000G
Fence: 1000G
Crib: 2500G

First, however, I must make a piece of Silver because I have only Silver Ore that I have been giving daily to Andrea... so I make one piece of Silver and get on with the business of the crib.

Got Crib!

I no longer have enough cash for the Animal Barn Upgrader, about 45,000G short because of spending so much money on Fertiliser lately.

I think I should look at the other requirements, however, so I can plan ahead... I do not want any more animals really but it is tied to a Memory I believe.

So here they are:

Animal Barn Upgrader: 245000G
  Softwood Lumber: 40
  Hardwood Lumber: 40
  Orichalcum: 5

I definitely have the Orichalcum in my drawer and possibly almost enough Softwood but my Hardwood has been exhausted... don't want it desperately now in any case.  It can wait but I suppose it means one more trip to the Mine in the near future.

Meanwhile, I could kick myself for not selling Zucchini sooner and for not discovering that I could have used Fluorite or Opal instead of Wool for the Huge/Giant House.

No matter.  What is done is done.  Only 5 more days to summer... wonder if I can unlock any more mutation seeds.

Friday, 24 Summer

24 Summer:

At 8.00 p.m., Hunter outside his house;  I remember now... Where y'all's farm is now, there use to be a herd a' cattle the former farmer had...

The only place I can find Andrea is at the Bar after 8.00 p.m.

Andrea finally went up to 2 1/2 musical notes:  Are you interested in ore at all?  If you are, come visit my place and I'll show you my collection!

If I take the trip up the mountain, I find Marguerite and Apples and can gift the immortals.  When I give another Strawberry to the HG, I experience her event;

Tee-hee-hee!  Hello, Freyashawk!  Your Harvest Goddess is delighted that you came to visit me! Have you settled in to working on your farm?  Thank you for helping my Harvest Sprites with the things they ask you.  Tee-hee-hee!  I'ts been  along time since I had a mortal who could see me and talk to me.  It's a real pleasure!  I hope you'll keep coming to talk to me, and we'll be good friends!

Goddess' Thanks

Wednesday, 22 Summer

I cannot find Andrea ANYWHERE during the day.

Went into the Restaurant a little after 6.00 p.m. and spoke to Hunter:

Hunter:  I remember now... Where y'all's farm is now,there use to be a herd a' cattle the former farmer had..

This, however, is simply new dialogue..

Hunter's Sick Cow Event, Tuesday 21 Summer

On Emily's Birthday, 21 Summer, I went to deliver a gift to Andrea in front of the Bar at night and then, on a chance, went to visit Hunter for the second time that day.  This was after 9.00 p.m.  When I entered his house, I spoke to him and triggered his event... been trying to find the location for days!


Hunter:  Shucks...  ...Muh cow's gone and got sick.  And th' reg'lar medicine ain't workin' like it ought...  I'm takin' care a'th'ol' girl as best i can but... things ain't lookin so good...  I wish I'd a=noticed she was sick a mite sooner...

Me: (!)

Hunter:  Y'all gonna help me tend t'mush sick cow...?  Now that's right neighbourly of y'all...  Muh cow's this-a-way...

The screen darkens and we are outside in the paddock in the rain.

Hunter:  It's kinda like a cold, puttin' it in human terms, but she's runnin' a mighty high fever...  She don' look well at all.. Y'all can see clear as day that she's a=sufferin'...  Freyashawk... I appreciate y'all's help... I ... feel better havin' y'all 'round...  One way or another, we gotta help muh poor cow...

I turn to tend to the cow.  Screen darkens again and we are back in his house.

Hunt:  Thank t'y'all, muh cow seems t'have settled down real nice.... She's breathin' more reg'lar now, an' eatin' awright... I think th' ol' girls gonna pull through...  Freyashawk, I...
.,.Shucks, I jus' can't thank y'all enough...  I ... ain't good at dealin' with folks, so I've always had t' handle muh troubles by muhself...  But... havin' y'all here by me... well, it jus' sets muh mind at ease... an' that's the truth...  Y'all're one-of-a-kind... Since y'all came to these parts, I been doi' more talkin' than ever...  An' I been recollectin' things 'bout th' old days.  As a young' un, I saw a big  ol cow at th' farm.  Long 'fore y'all came, that was when th'previous owners had th' place...

Hunter's Sick Cow
Got Supreme Egg: 5

The irony is that it is raining heavily and the poor cow was outside in the paddock at night, both of which are not good!  And he calls himself an Animal Husbandry Expert!

Tuesday 21 Summer: Emily's Birthday

I caught another Rainbow Trout and another Alligator Gar on the peninsula last night... I suspect you only can catch the Gar at night and at this location but need to test it.

The usual Crucian Carp, mosquitofish, Bluefish and Goby can be caught at any location.  I never did catch another Perch in Spring but I wasn't trying that hard.  I know I caught the first one on my farm in the morning.

Today is Emily's Birthday.

Emily:  It's my birthday!  And good things happen to a girl on her birthday, am I right?


Emily's Birthday
Got Supreme Yogurt: 3

I give her Broccoli:  A birthday present?!  No WAY!  And THIS, do you know how much I've been wanting THIS?!  THANKS!

Rainbow Trout: 300G
  Lives upstream in summer and fall.  Very tasty.

Alligator Gar: 1000G
  Said to be the legendary fish in the land.

Sprite Event, 18 Summer

Enter the Sprite Tree after 8.00 to experience an Event.

Blossom (with music):  Yaaaay!  It's Freyashawk!  You came to play with us, right,Freyashawk?  And you brought gifts?  Tell me you brought gifts!

Dewy:  Hey!  Pipe down!  Quit babbling!

Rowan  Sorry Freyashawk.  Blossom is still a youngster among Harvest Sprites.  You have to forgive her!

Blossom:  We're so-so=so-soooooooooo glad  you came, Freyashawk!  We get lonely all by ourselves.  Since you're here, we'll have fun!  I'll make tons of flowwers bloom!

The Sprites' Thanks
Pink Carnation Seeds: 5

So now i have unlocked two mutation seeds from Sam:  Red Pepper and Mystic Herb.

Giant Squash on Friday, 18 Summer

Well, I came out of my house to find that one of the Squash Seeds I planted (not unlocked, reward for Memory) had matured into a Giant Squash!  I had to save THAT result of course, even though all the other crops I harvested today were less than stellar.

Giant Squash: 280G
  Squash that takes a longer time to mature.

Thursday, 16 Summer: Gilbert's Event

I finally am able to find Gilbert at the southwest corner of my farm on Thursday morning... went there at 8.00 a.m. after harvesting my first Durum Wheat.

Gilbert:  Oh-ho, Freyashawk.  I hope my unannounced visit does not give you fright!  Your farm is a delight and being here simply feels right.  A memory of fishing here emerges, a picture of my grandpa into my mind surges...  But a recollectiion of humble events, yet deeply precious to me were those moments...  You are a person of mysterious infulence, and it must be for some reason that you settled hence.  What drew you down this road, and made you choose this abode?

That's my secret.
To restore memories.
Nothing in particular.

To restore memories.

Gilbert:  That does make sense of it all, that this was your special call.  Through you my own lost memories found repair.  And memories are... the proof a thing was really there.  Forgetting robs you of the knowing,, of something about which you care.  What i would ask of you, is that you remember me too.  For that would prove my own existence is true.
Memory of the Traveler


If I chose:  That's my secret.

Gilbert:  I thought that might be your reply.  Better to admit it 's secret than to lie!  And memories are... the proof a thing was really there... etc.

Memory of the Traveler
Got Onyx

If I chose:  Notrhing in particular.

Gilbert:  That cannot be, for a forgotten place was restored under your care.  And memories are... etc.

If I sell 6 Red Peppers to Sam, he will now sell Red Pepper Seeds.  If I sell only 5 Red Peppers, he will not sell them... I do believe I probably shipped one when I harvetsed the first though, so the required total may be 7.

Now I only have Hunter's last two events to trigger.  Luke is in the Restaurant at 11.30 a.m. today so I give him an Egg.

I wanted to build the Giant House but I can't... have 13 Wool and 9 Great Wool but you cannot combine them!  You have to have 20 of a single type.

Tabitha is to the right of my Animal Barn after 6.00 p.m. tonight.  I speak to her and have her event.

Tabitha:  Ah!  It's my favourite human, Freyashawk!  Alreday finished with work?  Or still bustling along?  I've really been hitting my magic books recently!  ARen't you impressed by my diligence?  In fact, Gareth has been teaching me some things.  He drives me up a wall, but he does know his spells. Not that I'm admitting defeat to him in our wizardry showdown!  At the end, I will be victorious!  I'm doing my witchly best, so I expect you to assist me in any way humanly possible!

My choices now:

You can count on me!
I'd rather not.
No way!  Not a chance!

You can count on me!

Tabitha:  Mweh-heh-heh, thank you, Freyashawk.  That attitude is what I find so... endearing in you.  But!  But!  You must be careful!  I wouldn't watn you falling into the hands of any WICKED witches!  ... I love the town!  And I love this place too!  That goes without saying!  I want to help make this a place where every one lives with a smile!  Whether I beat Gareth or not!  I'm going to study magic harder than ever!  And use it to help as many people as I can!  I mean, I AM the World's Number oNe Witch after all!  Mwa-ha-ha-ha!  But here's the thing... You're in a different category from the other humans, Freyashawk!  You always get priority attention if you ever need my magic!  Because you're a wonderful friend!

The Good Witch
Got: Crystal

If I had chosen:  I'd rather not!

Tabitha:  Don't say that!  Why would you turn down the World's Number One Witch like that/  ... I love the town!  And I love this place too!  that goes without saying!  I want to help...etc.

If I had chosen: No way!  Not a chance!

Tabitha:  Ugh, do you have to be so dramatic about your -- totally unjustified, I might add -- reluctance...?  ... I love the town!  And I love... etc.

Only at 8.00 p.m. do you find Andrea on Thursday night outside the Bar, Hanna is in the Square with Gilbert, but he is near the Bell of Memories instead of his usual spot and Emily is up on the path to the north...

14 Summer

Shipping 10 Mystic Herbs has no effect.

Jimmy:  Today's my birthday, and I'm making sure everyone knows it.
Jimmy's Birthday: Adamantite Ore: 5

For milk:  All RIGHT!  A birthday present!  That's what i'm talking anout!  AND IT'S JUST WHAT I WANTED!  THANKS!

Sunday 15 May 2016

Monday, 13 Summer

Emily is near the Sprite Tree at 10.00 a.m. on Monday.  Yesterday for some reason, Brutus was on my farm near my house at 4.00  p.m.

I speak to her to initiate an event.

Emily:  What's up, Freyashawk?  Your farm work seems to keep you totally busy!  But chcek this out!  It's about that veggie bread I came up with!  I had my mom taste it, and she said sh'll officially add it to the restaurant's menu!  I'm still tweaking the recipe, so it may be a while until we're serving it, though.  Even though I still have a TON to learn about cooking, I'm going to show my mom one day that I'm a real chef!

My choices now:

You think you really can?
I'm rooting for you!
That day could be a long way away.

If I chose:  You think you really can?
Emily:  its not about can or can't!  I WILL, and that's just how it's gonna be!  Not just cooking whatever tickles my taste buds, but thinking about what other people would enjoy...  That's what makes my mom's cooking the most delicious of all!  I realised that through my confversations with you!  Thanks for being my sounding board!  You're like my best friend!  Ha ha ha ha!

Food Glorious Food
Blissful Bread

If I choose:  I'm rooting for you!

Thanks!  I  knew you were a good guy!  I feel likje if I have you cheering me on, I can really max out my talents  Not just cooking...

If I chose:  That day could be a long way away.
Emily:  Well, maybe, but I'm gonna stick with it!  Not just cooking...

Got 5 Blissful Bread, but they cannot be shipped.  Shows up in my pouch but not when I try to make any shipment.

At 5.00 p.m., while Iris and April were still at the stall, I entered their house for an event.

April:  Oh, Freyashawk!  You c-came by to... to hang out...!  Hee=hum... that makes me happy!

Iris comes closer.  Mmm=hmmm, it's Freyashawk!  Welcome!  Tee=hee, how nice that a friend of April's would come spend time with her!  Makes me a happy mother!

April:  M=Mother!  Y-You're embarrassing me!  Would you please just ... just go over there and...!

Iris:  I'll give you two as much time as you want!  Hmm, Freyashawk?

She moves away.

April:  My... my mom is just...  ...I m=mean, I understand that... that I'm flighty, so she w=worries about me, but...  Th=That's why I... I admire you so much, Freyashawk.  You w-work so hard all by yourself on your farm...  I w=wish I could be... be more like you, Freyashawk...  When I see y=your farm, I ... I remember stuff from when I was little.  That big field of flowers... It was s=such a happy feeling... surrounded by flowers...  I would have liked to ... to show it to y-you, Freyashawk...

April and Iris
Got: White Rose Seeds 10

11 Summer and Fireworks Festival

I experienced Catherine's 'First Friend' Event this morning.

With great difficulty I ahve avoided the Fireworks Festival  invitation unti now.  Found Tony at home and spoke to him.  The first option:

Offer him the Blue Feather
Don't offer him the Blue FEather.

So I had to do THAT first...

Then came:

Invite to the Fireworks Festival, so I did... will not save this.

Tony:  You, um... Are invitin me to the Fireworks Festival/  I mean, I ... don't have any plans or anything... So um, yeah, let's go together.  I'll come pick you up that day at your house.  So please be at home between 5 p.m. and 5.49 p.m, okay?  I'm, um, not sure if I'm more excited or nervous to go with you, but... the fireworks will be great!

In the afternoon today, Hunter is outside near the plaza, Tabitha is outside near the flower stall, Gareth is in his house, Luke is outside his house.  If I speak to either Luke or Gareth, the first thing is the option to offer the Blue Feather.  Gilbert is in the bar at 8.00 p.m.  I cannot offer to Hunter or Gilbert because I haven't had their events.

Toorrow:

If I go with Gilbert:


 Gilbert:  You extend an invitation to me?  For the fireworks festivities?  I'ms hnoured by your request, ho-ho!  In your company I'll gladly go.  I will come fetch you at your house on the day of the festival.  Be at home between 5 p.m. and 7.59 p.m.  What fireworks will burst and blzae?  What night sky spectacle will amaze?



12 Summer, unsaved... go into my house and the event occurs.  Gilbert:    Let us depart!


We are at the top of the mountain.
Gilbert:  here's a spot ofg which I gorw ever fonder... looking out on fireworks bursting yonger.  Oh-ho, and no it begins!

Both of us with music, standing.

Gilbert:  ... This is a town thatdeserves acclaim, for filling the skies with flowers of flame!  Did you stumble upon it by fate or chance?  What iO  know is in your life, luck seems enhanced! Perhaps I too should settle here...  No, nothing!  I said nothing meant for your ears...  With why do my words burst forth without fear...?

Screen darkens and now we face one another

Gilbert:  Alas, it seems the display is done.  Had it been longer, it would have been even more fun!  Let us go, and I will see you safely home.

The Fireworks Festival
Cyrstal Ore
It is 8.00 p.m. and I am alone in my house.

If I ask Tony:

5.00 p.m. when I enter house, screen darkens, then Tony and I face one another in front of the cooker.

Tony:  I think we should get going now... don't you?

Screen darkens.
We now stand at the edge of the cliff.

Tony:  I think we'll have a good view of the fireworks from this spot... Ah, looks like they're starting.

Both of us with music... display begins.
Tony:  Wo!  Amazing!  Incredibly beautiful!  Oh, sorry... I got carried away and started acting like a little kid.  When I'm alone with you, it makes me feel giddy... Ah-ha-ha.  It's amazing when you think of it.  Flowers of fire in the sku.  Who came up with that/  I'd like to come up with idea for amazing things like that some day... Fireworks are beautiful...

Screen darkens and now we face one another

Tony:  What a great fireworks display!  I can't wait until next year!  And, um... I'm glad you and I were able to go together, Freyashawk... but it's time I got you home...

Home alone now.
Fireworkds Festival.
It's 9.00 p.m.

If I ask Gareth, again first have to decline to offer Blue Feather then:

Gareth:  YOu desire to go and see fireworks in muy company?  What an eccentric human you seem to be...  I alreday intended to go and observe the fireworks.  If you wish to accompany me, I won't object.  So, I will meet you that day at your home. Therefore, be at home between 5 p.m. and 7.39 p.m.  It may surprise you to learn that I like watching firworks, so I am looking forward to that day.


Lots of Crops
Got: Angel Lantern Seeds: 10

And in another file I am not going to save, waiting for gareth, Got:

San Marzano: 100G
  Long, thin tomato that is perfect for making sauce.

Great Tomato: 85G

Gareth at 6.00:  Time for us to get going now...

Screen darkens.
On the mountain:  This spot offers an optimal view of the fireworks.  It is a secret I keep carefully to myself!  Hmmm... It appears they will begin momentarily.  Bloth of us with music as they begin
Gareth:  Red from strontium...
Blue from barium...
Green from copper...
And observe!  That gold colour is achieved with a titaium compound!  All bursting with real artistry.  My favourites are the gold=coloured ones.  They remind me of the sun... isn't that odd/  What colour of firworks do you like best/  I've heard of new colours: peach, light blue...  I am not querying your tastes out of personal curiosity, of course1  Merely collecting data.

Scfeen darkens again and we face one another.
Gareth:  Another year with an exceptional fireowks display!  I am satisfied.  It is time we returned to our homes.  Your presence... did not distract from the experience...

Alone at home:
The Fireworkds Festival
Got Crystal Ore

Now for Hunter:

Th' Fireworks Festival...?  ... Alrighty.  I ain't got nothin' planned fer that day... I'll tag along with y'all.  Tell y'all what... I'll come pick y'all up at her house the day of... so be there 'tween 5 p.m. and 7.59 p.m.... I love me some fireworks. I  can't wait t'see 'em with y'all.

Hunter at 6.00:  Y'all 'bout ready to head out...?

At the peak:  An't nobody but us in this here spot.. An' we got us a good view.  ... I think th' fireworks're about t'start...
Both of us with music
Hunter; ... They sure are purdy...  ... I s'pose all the folks in town are watchin' from th' town square.  i've watched 'em from there many times muhself...  But... today's fireworks seem even purdier than usual...  bein' up here on the mountain... or bein' with y'all, Freyashawk... ain't sure which...

Facing one another;
Hunter: ... Reckon that's th' end of this year's firworks.  I'm glad I got t'wath 'em with y'all.  Thanks.  We'd best be mosyin' home now, Freyashawk...

I could NOT marry THIS GUY!!!

Luke:  You're inviting me to the Fireworks Festival?  Awesome!  I'm free that day.  So, let's go see some firworks together!  I'll come pick you up that day aat your house.  You just be at home between 5 p.m. and 7.59 p.m., please.  Cool?  Har-har, watching firworks is like a party atmosphere, and i love parties!  

If I speak to Tony:  The fireworks Festival is coming up soon.  am I inviting anybody?  No, U... Uh...

Gilbert:  Coloured explosions will fill the air!  Best seen from the mountain, and not the Town square...

Iris down by the water.  Fireworks re delightful, aren't they?  Tee-hee, every one is going to gather in the town square to watch!                  

Luke:  Time we got going!  You ready?
on the moutnain peak:  This is the best eseat in the house!  One of my customers told me about it.  I'm glad I came!  Cool, looks like it's starting.
Both of us with music:  Oh yeah, this was definitely the right spot to come to!  We can see great from here  Har-har!  Now why is it the firworks look even bigger and brighter than ever right now...?  To be honest, a smuch as I love all kinds of parties and events, I never was into fireworks much.  So why are they impressing me now?  Could it be because i'm with you...?  Then it's just my good luck to get to see fireworks in your company, Freyashawk.

Now facing me:  So that's it for the fireworks this year.  I hate to see it end, but at least I saw it with you.  Now it's time to get you home, Freyashawk.

One more experience... what if I don't ask any one?

YOu actually can ask some one ON THE DAY!  Amazing...That never was the case in any other HM game.

Harvest God:  Theyll be shooting those fireworks up here soon, eh?  I always get startled by those things...

Gorgan:  I understand that you have an event called the Fireworks Festival.  What are these 'fireworks?

Dewy:  I=I'm not scared of fireworks.  No way!  Not me!  I'd never cry just because they make a big boom...

lsally:  I'm looking forard to the Fireworks Fesival... it's not ust for kids!  But my mom promised to take me.

Even after 5.00 p.m., you still can invite some one!  I went to the square and there was Gilbert, all alone, no fireworks... but if I spoke to him, I would have the option to ask him.

So I asked him to see what would happen if I don't go home in time.  I find Gilbert in the square at 9.00.  He makes no mention of the fact that I stood him up!

Back to 11 Summer... why wait?  I am torn between Luke and Tony but finally went to the forge...

Brutus:  SHE was kujubg of your farm.  Was liking walk with Brutus there.  And with Tony when Tony born.


Tony:  You... um... Are inviting me to the Fireworks Festival?   I mean, I ... don't have any plans or anything... So, um, yeah, let's go together.  I'll come pick you up that day at your house.  So please be at hoe between 5 p.m. and 7.59 p.m. okay?  I'm, um, ot sure if I'm more excited or nervous to go with you, but... the fireworks will be great!

Friday, 10 Summer

Yesterday, it rained.  Could not find Gilbert on my farm for his event.  I gave all the bachelors gifts, however.

This morning, after 8.00 a.m., I found Luke outside.

Friday, 10 Summer: Luke is at my house, in front of the well.

Luke  Hey, Freyashawk!  What's up?  I should have known I'd find you out here taming the land all by yourself!  Har har har!  nYour farm has really captured my interest! You've got this beautiful river... These big trees...  Being here, anybody would be able to forget their troubles!  So the next time somebody comes to me with their troubles, I'll bring 'em here for a mood-booster!  But that's all for other people... it doesn't solve my own troubles...
Don't stress about it.
That's just the way it is.
That's what i like about you.

That's what I like about you.

Luke:  Really...?  You mean that?  Thanks.  If you come straight out and flatter me like that, you're goinna make me blush! ... Talking with people about their troubles isn't the same as solving their troubles for them.  In the end, people have to decide for themselves what they're going to do.  So, maybe me listening doesn't actually make a difference in people's lives..  ... But the people who to talk with me at the bar sure look like they feel better afterwards!  Even though I personally don't have any real 'troubles', per se... Maube that makes me a phony...?  Still, I certainly do have plenty of experience in talking things over with people in all situations.  I fonly I could experinece personal growth in the process... lke they do by overcoming troubles...  ...Yeah, that's the ticket!  I can talk with anybody about anything!  Har har har!  Oh, man... You're the only one I can share my nutty thoughts with, Freyashawk!

The Kind Bartender
Got Emerald 2

If I had chosen:  Don't stress about it.

Luke:  Good advice.  Thanks. ... Talking with people about their problems...

If I chose:  That's just the way it is...

Luke:  Hmmm, maybe you're right about that...  ... Talking with people, etc.

Got my first Fodder Corn today, Great Wheat, Great Corn...  more Mystic Herb.

Fodder Corn: 100G
  Corn fed to animals.

Sam:  Now dat I think about it, way back when dere was some old couple dat lived on da east of da mountain...

Andrea after silver ore in the bar:  You have a big tree on your farm, don't you?  It doesn't look all that healthy, but it's a great rree!

Hanna:  Now, where did that nice soup lady live again?

Rowan for great Wheat:  I love it!  I love it!  Thanks!

11 Summer:

Stayed up past 3.00 a.m. watering crops.  Awakaned with full stamina but green face.

Catherine down by the lower well this morning.  I speak to her for her event.

Catherine:  Well!  We meet again, Freyashawk.  Good-day.  You, -er - appear to be at leisure.  Would you be so kind as to... er, listen to what I have to say?  Ever since I was little, I... I have been atrocious at making small talk with people...  ... And due to my high-handed way of speaking, I have been bereft of friends...  So... I set my mind to make myself a more charming conversationalist by taking employment with Luke!  However, since doing so, my way of speech has not improved... I conveyed this information to Luke.  And he recommended that I should begin by... by finding one friend to whom I could speak freely...  Therefore, er, being such... that is to say...  Freyashawk!  Would you be inclined to be that friend for me?!  Well?!

My choices now:
Sure!  Nope.
I'm already your friend!

I'm already your friend!

Catherine:  Is... Is that so...?  I must admit, I'm unfamiliar with even the definition of friendship...  Very well, then... Let us consider the relationship between us to be one of friendship.  I... appreciate that you are willing to talk to me even if I am slightly ... high-strung.  Very slightly!  I forbid you to leap to any further conclusions!  Understand that I can discuss this matter only with you- in the strictest confidence!  You are altogether forbidden from mentioning this conversation to any one -- ever!  Tsk!

A First Friend
Got Topaz

If I chose: Sure!

Catherine:  T=tsk!  I suppose in that case i owe you my thanks... so... thank you.  I ... appreciate that you are ... etc.

If I choose: Nope!

Catherine: Suit yourself!  I have already made up my mind that you will be my friend!  You can only accept it.  I ... appreciate it...

Got Blue Feather

HG: There's some one you're interested in, isn't there?  This is the Blue Feather!  Around here it's used when you want to propose to some one!  If you want to get married, though, you need a house that's big enough for at least two people!  Good luck, Freyashawk!  Your Harvest Goddess is rooting for you!

8 Summer:

I give gits to every one, avoiding the Fireworks question... return to my farm at 7.40 p.m. to find Gareth there near my house.  Initiate an event by speaking to him.

Gareth:  This farm is a remarkable place.  The people of the town seem to have an effection for it also.  ... Witches and wizards learn many things under their designated mentor...  Once they become independent, they take up a position  near a human community to offer aid.  At least, that is what my mentor taught me to do.  And yet, the element of relating to humans is very onerous to me.... I find it exhausting...  But recently, I've finally started to understand why my mentor wanted me to interact with people.  Since you and I started conversing... How can I put it?  I feel that my world has grown wider.   It is a fact that closing myself off in my own small world presents me from discovering some things...  I believe there IS some way tor me to rleate to people, but not the same as you and that witch do it...

My choices now:

If yiou need my help, you've got it.

I hope you find that way.

Maybe there is, or maybe not.

If you need my help, you've got it.

Gareth:  I think that is the aspect of your personality that draws people in.  You are an unusual person... Quite intriguing, in fact...  If I could be as interested in other humans with whom I deal as with you, relating would be easier.  ... But at the moment, you are the only human who holds my interest.  Please do not disappoint me by becoming less interesting, Freyashawk.

The Curious Wizard
Got Ruby: 2

If I chose:  I hope you find that way.

Gareth:  Yes... it may be a time-consuming process, however...  If I could be as interested in other...

If I chose:  Maybe there is, maybe not.

Gareth:  ... Surely there must be.  If not, I would be very disappointed...  If I could be as interested...

Unsaved events in Summer

Rowan there when I awaken:  Good morning, Freyashawk. So, it seems you've got your eye on some one.  In fact, the Harvest Goddess wants to see you about it!  She's got something she wants to give you, so hurry up and go see her!

Luckily, i tis up to me to go to see her.

HG:  Oh my, Freyashawk!  Thank you for coming!  Tee=hee-hee!  I have something for you!

Got Blue Feather!

There's some one you're interested in, isn't there?  This is the 'Blue Feather'!  Around here, it's used when you want to propose to some one!  If you want to get married, though, you need a house that's big enough for at least two people!  Good luck, Freyashawk!  Your Harvest Goddess is rooting for you!

She gives me the Blue Feather.  It is a tool.  It is in a locked box and I am unable to offer it to any one until I see Tony. As soon as I speak to him, here is the option:

Offer the Blue Feather.
Don't offer the Blue Feather.

If I don't, it does not offer me another chance, at least not here and now.

If I invite Gilbert to the Fireworks:
You extend an invitation to me?  For the fireworks festivities?  I'm honoured by your request, ho-ho!  In your company I'll gladly go!  I will come fetch youat your house on the day of the festival.  Be at home between 5 p.m. and 7.59 p.m.  What fireworks will burst and blzae?  What night sky spectacle will amaze?

Unsaved:  Cannot get Gilbert's Event on Thursday in the rain... does heart level need to be higher?  Got the Blue Feather but avoiding Tony like the plague.  Told Gilbert would do the Fireworks Festival with him.

Friday, 10 Summer: Luke is at my house, in front of the well.

Luke  Hey, Freyashawk!  What's up?  I should have known I'd find you out here taming the land all by yourself!  Har har har!  nYour farm has really captured my interest! You've got this beautiful river... These big trees...  Being here, anybody would be able to forget their troubles!  So the next time somebody comes to me with their troubles, I'll bring 'em here for a mood-booster!  But that's all for other people... it doesn't solve my own troubles...
Don't stress about it.
That's just the way it is.
That's what i like about you.

That's what I like about you.

Luke:  Really...?  You mean that?  Thanks.  If you come straight out and flatter me like that, you're goinna make me blush! ... Talking with people about their troubles isn't the same as solving their troubles for them.  In the end, people have to decide for themselves what they're going to do.  So, maybe me listening doesn't actually make a difference in people's lives..  ... But the people who to talk with me at the bar sure look like they feel better afterwards!  Even though I personally don't have any real 'troubles', per se... Maube that makes me a phony...?  Still, I certainly do have plenty of experience in talking things over with people in all situations.  I fonly I could experinece personal growth in the process... lke they do by overcoming troubles...  ...Yeah, that's the ticket!  I can talk with anybody about anything!  Har har har!  Oh, man... You're the only one I can share my nutty thoughts with, Freyashawk!

The Kind Bartender
Got Emerald 2

It was Friday, 10 Summer.

On the next day, after giving him an Egg:
Offer the Blue Feather
Don't offer the Blue Feather.

You can offer only once per day to any guy I think.
12 Summer, unsaved... go into my house and the event occurs.  Gilbert:    Let us depart!

We are at the top of the mountain.
Gilbert:  here's a spot ofg which I gorw ever fonder... looking out on fireworks bursting yonger.  Oh-ho, and no it begins!

Both of us with music, standing.

Gilbert:  ... This is a town thatdeserves acclaim, for filling the skies with flowers of flame!  Did you stumble upon it by fate or chance?  What iO  know is in your life, luck seems enhanced! Perhaps I too should settle here...  No, nothing!  I said nothing meant for your ears...  With why do my words burst forth without fear...?

Screen darkens and now we face one another

Gilbert:  Alas, it seems the display is done.  Had it been longer, it would have been even more fun!  Let us go, and I will see you safely home.

The Fireworks Festival
Cyrstal Ore
It is 8.00 p.m. and I am alone in my house.

Thursday, 16 Summer at 6.00 a.m. can find Gilbert at bottom fo farm for event.

Gilbert:  Oh-ho, Freyashawk.  I hope my unannounced visit does not give you fright!  Your farm is a delight and being here simply feels right.  A memory of fishing here emerges, a picture of my grandpa into my mind surges...  But a recollectiion of humble events, yet deeply precious to me were those moments...  You are a person of mysterious infulence, and it must be for some reason that you settled hence.  What drew you down this road, and made you choose this abode?

That's my secret.
To restore memories.
Nothing in particular.

To restore memories.

Gilbert:  That does make sense of it all, that this was your special call.  Through you my own lost memories found repair.  And memories are... the proof a thing was really there.  Forgetting robs you of the knowing,, of something about which you care.  What i would ask of you, is that you remember me too.  For that would prove my own existence is true.
Memory of the Traveler





I can offer two guys the feather inn the same day...
Declined to offer to Gilbert, then offered to Tony:

Tony:  Sounds like you have something serious to talk about..Maybe we should go someplace else.
Now in the plaza in front of the fountain:
Tony:  This is a good place to talk, I guess... What'[s on your  mind?  You can tell me anything.
Got Blue Feather!
Tony:  A blue feather...?!  But... But... this means... Do you, um, know what this means...?  O-Of course you do... S=sorry, I didn't mean to...  So... that's how you feel about me?  That's ... Wow, that makes me so happy...  I have, um... incredible respect for you.  How you do all that farm work by yourself, cheerfully...  You're a go-getter, and you never quit.  You're the kind of person that I want to become, I think...  I want to watch what you do... from up close./..  So... So I want to put how I feel into words, too.  Please... Please marry me, Freyashawk.  I mean... I'm not as dependable as i should be.  But I'll treat you right!  For sure!  Uh... I guess we have to pick a date for our wedding, right?  How about seven days from now?  I better go tell everybody in town... We'll need lots of help to hold the wedding...  I hope these seven days go by fast!  I'll come to your house the monring of the wedding to pick you up.
A Modest Proposal
Got Pink Diamond

I then reloaded back to 7 Summer, Iris' Birthday which I must celebrate now... no marriages for me yet.

6 Summer

Harvested some Mystic Herbs again today.

If I go down to the far southwest corner of my field and speak to Tony, I will experience his next heart event:

When I did, it was early afternoon.

Tony: Hey, Freyashawk!  I'[m sorry to... uh, just drop in on you... I felt like taking a walk.  ... It's amazing what you've, uh... done around here.  Wasn't it all wastland...?  With no grass, even?  I'll try a few things that I can manage to do, and follow the example you set reviving the farm.  ... I dont even know if I'm cut out to be a craftman at all... But...  ... Wouldn't it be great to fix things that have sentimental value?  To make things that are memorable?  I'm going to try my best to do wheatever I can do... like you...

My choices now:

You have my full support!

Are you just trying to convince yourself?

Sounds like a long road.

You have my full support!

Tony:  Uh... Great!  Thanks!  I'll give it my best shot!  I'm glad I talked to you about it, Freyashawk.  I really wanted to tell you.  Maybe... my poppa got so harsh because he watned to push me to do things on my own... Maybe...  If that's the reason, I should try to prove myself as soon as I can... to reassure my poppa...  IN the old days... when the old owners of the farm were here... there was a big meadow here.  And my mom and poppa would bring me here for walks... We'd come pretty often.  I think... I should talk with Poppa and Jimmy about... about Mom.  Yeah, I should do that soon...  Memories forgotten for a long time are coming back... thanks to you, Freyashawk.  So... thanks.

Memory of Long Walks
Got: Sapphire Ore: 3

Actually, half past two is too late for the Tony Event.  It is only because I stayed on the field for hours that I was able to still see him on my field.  Very annoying... I hope I have saved it.  I am going to have to load another file to try to get the other two choices.  As early as 9.00 a.m., I can find him there.

If I had chosen:    ARe you just trying to convince yourself?

Tony:  Trying to convince myself...?!  You really think that's what I'm doing?  No, I really think that!  Maybe... my poppa got so harsh, etc.

I can do it as early as 8.00 a.m.

If I chose: Sounds like a long road.

Tony:  Ha ha!  Maybe you're right.  But I'll keep going down that road for as long as I can...  Maybe... my poppa got so harsh...

If I go into Tabitha's house at 11.00 a.m., I experience an Event immediately.  I am able to do so after 4.00 p.m. as well, after experiencing Tony's Event and Gareth's Event.

Tabitha and I face one another.

Tabitha with music:    Freyashawk!  I've been waiting for you to show up!  Mweh=heh-heh... Don't you think that frogs are the cutest animals of all?  Would' tyou love to try being an adorable little froggie yourself?  ... What do you mean, 'aboslutely not'?  I'd turn you into a frog just for a sec., then turn you back!  I'm not letting you wiggle out of it today, human!  Zazzarazzoo, a frog are you!

I sweat profusely now.

She launches a fireball at me, and I fall to the ground.

Tabitha: Freyashawk!  Oh no!  I messed up the spell!

The screen darkens then Tabitha faces Gareth in front of her bed.  I am in the bed.

Gareth:  ... She seems to have regained consiousness.  I believe she is out of danger...  How very typical of you.  Turning people into frogs!  REALLY?

Tabitha:  I just...

Gareth:  Magic must be used judiciously.  Recklessly castng spells you haven't mastered is dangerous! ... I hope you'll learn something from this episode...

He twirls in a circle and disappears.

Now Tabitha and I face one another again.

Tabitha:  Sorry about that, Freyashawk...  I... Actually... I'm kind of a klutz at doing magic...  I just wanted to practice a little bit.  I'm really sorry it turned otu this way...  I'm glad you're okay.  And I guesss== ugh -- we have Gareth to thank for that...  I'm going to buckle down and study up on my magic, so I can use it for stuff that really matters...

Frog Follies;
Got: Cream Pumpkin Seeds 5

At 1.00 p.m., Tony is not at the crossroads yet and Gareth's house is locked.  AT 2.00 p.m., Tony is at the creossroads, so you no longer can expeirence his heart event on your farm, and Gareth's house opens at 2.00 as well so you CAN experience his Event with Jimmy at 2.00 p.m.

However, evidently I have to experence Tabitha's EVent in the morning... at 2.00 p.m. it will not trigger when I enter her house.  Oh well...

At 4.00 p.m., however, after experiencing both Tony's and Gareth's Heart Events, I enter Tabitha's house and her event triggers!




I enter Gareth's house at 4.30 p.m. and experience an invent automatically.

JImmy is facing Gareth:

Jimmy:  WAAAAAAHHHH!

Gareth:  If you would just remain calm...

JImmy:  OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!


Gareth:  And allow me to inspect the wound...

Jimmy:  ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!


The screen darken, then:

Gareth:  Ah, you've, er, come at an opportune moment... Could you please deal with this individual?  He came bursting into my premises some moments ago, ran around, then broke a bottle and injured himself! I would ike to treat the wound, but in his state of uproar, it is impossible...  He seems to be in an extreme state of terror for reasons which I cannot determine...

Jimmy with big red heart:  I-It's because you're an evil wizard!  You were going to eat me!  ... I mean, I thought so...  I guess I shouldn't have busted in like that... I just did it on a dare, y'know...?  Sorry I broke your bottle...

Gareth:  the bottle is of small consequence.  Rather, please allow me to tend to your wound immediately...

Screen darkens.

Now I am facing Gareth alone.

Gareth:  There. Now the treatement is complete.  The wound was not serious, and it  will heal in short order. ... Are you suprirsed that I am able to give first aid?  meremly a case of first-hand familiarity.  I often break bottles, drop cups, fumble dishes, knock over bookshelves, and incur injuries....  ...  ... ER, are you familiar with the law of gravity?  Objects fall by nautre.  Scientific inevitablity.  Thank you for rendering assistance.... Indeed, I am not proficient in human relations.  My personality is inclined to solitary research.  My mentor attempted to instrut me further in human relaitions, but I lack your 'people skills'...  I admire how easily you were able to calm that rascal wtih whom I could make no headway..  Of course, I reserve my greatest admiration for my mentor.

Gareth and Jimmy: Got Great Wool: 6

Carnation Seeds have appeared for the first time at Iris' Stall.

Catherine: Luke is a charming man but he does not understand women in the least!  How vexing!

5 Summer

Last night  Today's shipment is 174380G... nothing more than stuff up to Floor 54 of the mine, but I thought a little more cash would not go amiss.

Rowan at my house at dawn:    Good morning!  The Fireworks Festival is coming up and I wanted to be sure you knew about it!  The Fireworks Festival will be on the 12th.  You should invite somebody to go with you between now and then!

Immediately after:

???  Hey, Freyashawk!  Is being awake?  Please to being come and look!

Brutus of course:

Brutus  Morning, Freyashawk.  Sorry for waking early in morning.  Brutus is being appreciate you, so decide to build bridge for farm of yours.

Scene of bridge

Brutus;  Now Freyashawk is being able to make more fields on other side of river.  HOping bridge is being useful of you.  Now Brutus must go.

Memory of the Bridge
Purple Pepper Seeds: 5

Event ends with me back in the house and it is 10.00 a.m.!!!!!  How wasteful!  So... went to bed after 2.00 a.m. and still same result, so you can go to bed late on this day without penalty.

As soon as I speak to any Bachelor now;  Invite to the Fireworks Festival?

You can decline and still ask again...  What is disturbing though:  why so far in advance???

What is REALLY ANNOYING is that Hunter's shop is open today, but I have no option to buy from him because it keeps asking if I want to invite him to the Fireworks Festival!  Unless I do it, I can't buy Feed from him or anything else!  So I have to invite some one before I go to his shop if I want to buy anything again before 12 Summer!

Ha!  I figured out a way to avoid it.  If I try to give him a second milk, I get the conversation about not taking a second gift instead and then the Buy menu will open. It only works once alas...

Hunter:  Th' Fireworks Festival...?  ... Alrighty.  I ain't got nothin' planned fer that day... I'll tag along with y'all.  Tell y'all what,... I'll come pick y'all up at yer house the day of, so be there 'tween 5 p.m. and 7.59 p.m. ... I love me some fireworks.  I can't wait t'see 'em with y'all. (Then I reloaded!)

You have to fiddle with it... sometimes reloading works and sometimes it will not work and all you can do is ask him.  Anyway, bought 99 regular and 99 great animal feed, so should be set until the 12th.

So basically you can give gifts to all of them but as soon as you try to speak to them again, you get the option to invite.

I go home and go to bed just to see if the option will continue the next day.

6.00 a.m.
Freyashawk: (!()
Rowan appears:  Freyashawk!  You accidentally left your animals out!  i put them all back in the barn, but they're a bit mad at your right now.  Remember to let your animals back in before dark1

It's only the horse...  Yes, can still issue invites, so reloaded... and could still ride the horse, so how mad can he be?  His heart level probably decreased a little.

Friday 13 May 2016

3 Summer

Got first Great Green Peppers and Red Pepper.  Went back to Floor 55 of the mine...  need a bit of extra cash.  Still collecting wool for the Huge House... have 400,000G. but have spent a great deal really.

Walked into the Bar and experienced an event at once.

Luke and Catherine facing one another in front of the counter.
Catherine:  I do apologise... Why must I always end up ruining things like this...?

Luke:  I gotta say, it's not good for you to be so sharp-toungued towards the customers...  The regulars know you, and they know what you're like, so you can gradually work on it.

Catherine:  But... I simply have no idea how to go about remedying it!  I try to observe myself strictly, but...

Luke:  Yeah... You do okay talking with me, so I wonder why you struggle with other...?

Catherine:  Th-That's because... No reason!  I will reflect on it more myself and we shall see...

Screen darkens and now Catherine faces me in front of counter.

Catherine:  It's you, Freyashawk.  Good day.  Were you... eavesdropping on that conversation?  Task, tsk!

I must insist that you put it out of your mind!  It most certinly is no concern of yours!  ... I am able to speak amibly with Lucke simply because I have great respect for him.  ... I aspire to be like him.  He is good-natured, and has so many friends.... I should very much like to enjoy the same social success he has... so I took employment in his bar.  Nevertheless, nothing has changed so far... and I am quite at my wit's end about what to do...  ... My goodness, what came over me to be speaking all these private thoughts to you of all people!  How wretched!  You will forget we ever had this converation!  Understood?  Tsk!  ... Tsk, tsk!

1 Summer Harvest God Birthday and Emily Bread Event

After all my work and harvesting and catching my first Goby, I had to reload the day because I did not make it to the Harvest God in time to wish him Happy Birthday... so

Still got one Mystic Herb in the morning and the two Red Zeppelins.  Went up the mountain and experienced the Harvest God birthday event, then gave him an Apple for good measure.  Came back down, bought some seeds and Animal Feed, giving Hunter milk, then giving Iris and April both Marguerites.  Went into the Restaurant and gave Emily a Broccoli and Hanna an Onion, left and came back and as soon as I entered, experienced an Event.

Sally:  YOu want us to taste something?  Like what?  I want to know!
Emily:  Hmm=dee=hmmm!  You both said that you hate vegetables, right?
Jimmy:  Vegetables taste like dirt!
Emily:  That's why I created a dish especially for the two of you!  Go ahead!  Try some!
Jimmy and Sally both with music.

Jimmy  What IS this stuff?!  The bread's a weird colour.
Sally:  Ooh!  This is yummy!  Are you sure it really has veggies in it?
Emily:  It's bread with vegetables kneaded into the dough!  Now you two can eat veggies without whining!
Sally:  I guess... And the colours are pretty... I guess I like vegetables now JUSGT a little bit.

The screen darkens and now Emily faces me.

Emily:  Hey, Freyashawk!  Were you watching the whole time?  Why didn't you say something?!  Did you see the reaction those kids had?  They're both known veggie-haters but they liked it!  So I thought about what soome one might actually want to eat, y'know?  And I realised that even though cream IS super-delicious, I was going just by my own taste.  And when I was a kid, I hated veggies too, so I could understand how Sally and Jimmy felt.  When you get up the guts to try something you don't like, sometimes you find it isn't actually too bad.  So I realised their veggie-hating was my angle!  And I cooked up a dish to work on that angle!  I'm so glad they actually liked it!  Next, I 'll have my mom try it!  I know you're also working hard to become a better cook, but i'm not letting you get ahead of me!

Emily's Veggie Bread
Got Legendary Cheese: 5

2 Summer:

Got my first Red Pepper and Giant Green Pepper.  Some Zucchini as well..

Went to town late at night.  Gave Tabitha (outside) Crystal, Hunter who was outside, Milk,  Cahterine in her house Strawberry and then entered Luke's house, gave him n Egg, and spoke to him again to initiate an event.

Luke:    Hey, Freyashawk... Let me ask you something.  So my trouble is, I got no troubles, right?  And I got to wondering why it is that I have no troubles.  See, the way I'm wired is... I like everything!  I'm interested in everything!  YOu name it!  On the other hand, that means I don't really go deep on any one specific thing.  I started to ask myself, 'Does that make me a shallow person?'  That's why I respect every body.  They really get into whatever it is that's their thing.  And if they have some sturggles with whatever their main thing is, I want to be there to help out.  ... Me, the guy with  no troubles, stands ready to soak up the troubles of others...  Har-har-har!  But I can take it!  When I talk to you, freyashawk, everything seems even more okay with me than usual!  Even though nothing is realluy solved... isn't that weird?  But in any case, thanks!  For some reason, Im really getting into having these talks with you!
Lack of Trtoubles
Got Blue Rose: 8

It is half past eleven on Thursday night, 2 Summer.

1 Summer, Mystic Herb and Goby

On 1 Summer, I experienced a number of Events... Bell of Memories Event for Luke, Tabitha the Detective and finally, an Event with April.

Harvested my first Mystic Herb from a patch of Celery and caught my first Goby in the village.

Goby: 300G
  Found in Fall.  Edible.

Interesting.  It is the first of Summer... wonder if I can catch the so-called Spring Fish like Perch and Golden Perch in summer!

Mystic Herb: 125G
  Tall, medicinal Celery.

2 Summer:

Got my first Red Pepper today

Red Pepper: 110G
  Ripe red bell pepper.

30 Spring, Tony's Event

Went to the Forge.   Spoke to Tony... did not have to give him anything to initiate the next event.

Tony:  Oh hi, Freyashawk... What's going on?  Did you need to ask my poppa something?
Hold on a second.  I'll call him for you...
???  Oh no!  OH NO!

Emily now is here sweating profusely from every pore of her being.

Emily:  Something TERRIBLE happened!  The Bell of Memories... Something's wrong with it!

Tony:  Wait... what?!

Now in the square, lots of people staring upward at it, including Iris, April, Sam, Emily and us.
Emily:  When I rang it as usual to test it, it didn't have its usual sweet tone AT ALL!  I don't know what's wrong with it and I don't know anybody who would be able to fix it...
Tony:  ... If there's a crack in the bell, even repairing the crack might not restore the sound to how it was.  I guess... we'll ask my poppa what to do about it...

???  Is not being business for Brutus.  Tony, you try fix!
Tony: (!)
Briutus enters square:  Maybe delicate work like bell is being best kind of work for you.  Tony can do.  I put job for you.
Tony:  B=But... P=Poppa.  I ... Freyashawk... what should I do...?  ... I g-guess I'll give it a try...
Screen darkens, back now at his house.
Tony:  Uh... I thnk the bell's okay... Thaere was just something stuck inside it, I guess...  It just needs to be cleaned out... and have the clapper adjusted... and it should sound right again.  But... the bell's really old... The metal's gotten brittle so eventually... it'll break...  ... But until it does break, I'll work on trying to make a replica of it.  Uh... I'll probably make a lot of screw ups at first, and my poppa will yell at me...  But I know you'll be giving me encouragement, Freyashawk.  Thanks.

Tony and the Bell
Got Adamantite: 5

If I give April a Marguerite and then speak to her, I will experience an event.
Ah... Freyashawk... H-Hello

I-I heard you're growing many flowers.  I... I... I-I just love flowers!  What k=kinds of flowers are you growing, Freyashawk?  Can I... come see them when... when they bloom?  When I was little, I played ina big field of flowers... I could n-never forget that, but I...  ... I c-can't recall WHERE the flowers were now.  I wish I could go again to someplace like that.  Oh, I WISH!  Eek...!  N=never mind!  I just g=got a little too excited.

My choices now:

YOu startled me!
You really do love flowers, huh?
I don't mind.

I don't mind.

B-but I c-can't help feeling really embarrassed...  I... I always get like that when... when I'm talking about flowers...  Flowers are so... so pretty, and... I feel so cheerful when I see them!  Hee=hmm... I'm happy that y-you like flowers too, Freyashawk.

If I choose:  You really do love flowers, huh?

Y-Yes, I do!  I I love flowers!  So much!  YES!  Oops! I g-got overexcited again.  I'm so embarrassed!  I wish I could s-sink into the ground...  I... I always get like that, etc.

April's Love of Flowers
Got Strawberry Seeds: 8

If I chose: You startled me!
I'm s-so s-sorry... I feel so mmm embarrassed...  I... I always get like that, etc.

When I speak to Tabitha in her house, I expeirence an event

Mwah!  Freyashawk!  So you have come to see the World's Number one Witch at last?  Mwah-heh-heh, you cannot hide the truth from me!  I understand now you were irresistably drawn to me!  Now, what mystical favours do you need from me today ==

Sally races into the house, sweating profusely.

Sally:  What am I going to do...?  What?  I... I...

Tabitha:  Calm down, small human girl!  Your problems are solved!  The Worlds Number One Witch is on the scene!

Sally:  My pendant... The one I got from my mother... It's my most precious thing... and I lost it somewhere...  I looked EVERYWHERE for it and it didn't turn up... What am I going to do?  It's irreplaceable...

Tabitah:  ... That is a traci fate, human child!  But do not fret!  The case is as good as solved.  Finding lost things is a cinch for the World's Number One Witch!

Now we three are at the crossroads and Tabitha is under the pine tree on the left.

Tabitha:  I found it!    Isn't this your lost item?

Sally with music darts forward:  My pendant...!  Tha'st the pendant my mother gave me@  I'm so glad you found it... Thank you, Miss Witch!  Thanks a million!

Tabitha:  That's nothing for a witch of my calibre!  Aren't you glad to have it back?

Sally:  Uh-huh... Thank you, Miss Witch!  I'll never lose it again!

Now Tabitha and I are alone in her house.

Tabitha:  Mwah-heh0heh, it's nice to see her get her pendant back1  That is the mission of witches... helping humans!  So, Freyashawk!  Now you must agree what an extraordinary and superb witch I am!  Right?

My choices now:
Are you feeling okay?
You're freaking me out.
That was nice of you.

That was nice of you.

Tabitha:  O-Of course!  I am a kind, good witch!  But you're going to make me blush if you flatter me like that, Freyashawk!  ... And I really a glad that child got her pendant back.  Seeking spells are easy, but... if I had messed it up, it would have hurt her feelings...  ... I need to be more confident in using my magic...
Tabitha the Detective
Got Squash Seeds: 5

If I chose:  ARe you feeling okay?
Tabitah:  What are you implying, human?!  I feel the same way I always feel!  ... And I really am glad that hcild got her pendant back.

If I chose;  You're freaking me out!

Tabitha:  What a rude thing to say!  I'm a very respectable witch!  ... And I really am glad, etc.

29 Spring: Big Trouble

When I awaken at 6.00 a.m., it is to an Event with Rowan:

Rowan:  Freyashawk!  There's trtouble!  Big trouble!  You know that huge boulder that used to be by the Harvest Goddess' Spring?  Just now i heard a huge noise and... the huge boulder had vanished!  Now there's a big hole in the ground where the boulder used to be!  Please... you gotta come take a look!

Zucchini: 200G
  Vegetable sometimes called a courgette. Grows in summer.
Squash: 220G
  Type of Squash with a unique shape.
Giant Pumpkin: 800G
  Carve it with a scary face!

Huge Cabbage: 125G
  Extra large cabbage.  Thrives in lowland areas.

Went up to the pillars when I finished my animal chores and found Rowan there.  Event initiated even though I was riding the horse.

Rowan:    See how big the hole is...?  And it's pitch black inside!  I can't see a thing...!  There seems to be hot air blowing up out of it... What could be down at the bottom?  ... That reminds me of something that I heard... about some kind of king that once ruled the mountain.... But one day, he was so angered that he shut himself up deep down beneath the mountain..  The story I heard didn't say what he got so mad about... but maybe that king is down in this hole!  If you went down the hole, you might find him there!

It occurs automatically... He is FAT and NAKED.

King: (!)  Who dares?!  WHO DARES?!  Who are you?  And where do you come from!?  SPEAK! ... The giant boulder disappeared?  Hmph!  I must have accidently blown it away!   I am Gorgan, the Underworld King!  You are a surface dweller.  I loathe surface dwellers!  So flee!  Flee from the terrifying presen e of Gorgan!  I do not speak with puny surface dwellers... You must accept my will...

Curmudgeonly King
Got:  Soul Gem Ore

After:  The sun stands high in the sky above the surface world.

If I give him Silver Ore: (with cross hurt)  Bah... I see enough rocks and dirt all the time!  This gift deispleases me!

His heart level increased though to half a note!

I gave him Marguerite instead and with red hearts:  So you can find gifts like THIS on the surface world?  You have impressed even me!

I feel miuch new life stirring in the surface world... Surely it must be a beautiful landscape above.
