Your next quest is very obviously pointed at your alignment. You can either protect or attack the orchard farm. Protect: 750g, 400rw, while attack: 100g, 400rw. Does evil pay better? :) Both let you boast up to 5 things you'll do. Choose quest and boast, you don't have to boast, you just have the option to.

AUTO SAVE

Your five boast options are:

no protection 80/160
without a scratch 100/400
fist fighter 100/300
protect property 100/250
protect guards 100/300

So you pay in X gold (the first number) and if you succeed you get Y gold (the second number). I chose the last two since those are pretty easy to do.

Go out and south to the Greatwood entrance. At this point Whisper shows up. It turns out Lady Grey set up the opposite (evil) quest in the guild, maybe she should pick it up. She's going to be evil?? Ah well. You're told that the combat experience multiplier X increases your experience from battles, and is shown in the upper left portion of your map area. The more damage you get without being hit = higher multiplier.

Along your path you meet a few wasps to slay, then save a trader and his friend. OK keep going. Next you get to more wasps in a big open treed area, and another trader. Follow the arrows. Now on to Greatwood Lake. There are lots of wasps here, kill them, and save the trader here. Now follow the arrow to Orchard Farm.

"Thank Avo you're here; I wish never found those damn stones. They're in crates in the barn. They're worth a fortune. Lady Grey wants them. " The farmer goes and hides.

OK, you get a message about the quest start - 750g, 400 rw, +180 no boxes/art stolen, +250 no guards die

The bandits all come from one narrow alley so if you block it then you're OK. You get 3 waves of them, slay each wave. Then Whisper shows up. She says to use melee attacks to increase combat multiplier and earn a special flourish move. When the X glowy icon apears, and you get a golden glow on your weapon, press B for a powerful unblockable attack.

Hack at her a bit and you win. "You beat me again! This quest is yours then." She teleports away. The farmer says he'll tell everyone about you.

boast completed - nothing stolen. +180
boast completed - nobody killed +250
