On a one fine day Novelarians decided to have little spelling contest. Every hero ran to library to find dictionaries and tried to learn all those obscure words so they can win a prize (a jar of honey). Only Lady Gesa didn't do anything. After all, she grew up speaking German and who could forget all those nice words like Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz. The day has come and the heroes go up on stage. Lady Gesa, full of herself, just smirks at other heroes trying to cram in that last word before show-time. The local librarian goes from hero to hero and lets them pull the words out of a hat. Words like tomato, peanut, pancake, hamburger start coming up and Lady Gesa remembers she didn't eat anything that day. Her stomach starts to growl. The librarian is getting closer and closer and Lady Gesa's stomach is getting louder and louder. Lady Gesa is afraid she'll die of mortification if this doesn't end soon. Finally the librarian calls for a break and Lady Gesa looks at you to help her out and bring her something to eat.
You gather ingredients and quickly make tasty sandwich for which you'll get 10 gold from Lady Gesa.
Read a book where both author initials can be found in BREAD for bread.

An important step in any young knights life is his first horse. Actually, once you get a horse you don't take nearly as many steps. So maybe it's really that the beginning of the end of steps is acquiring a horse. No matter what, it's a good thing to do.
You may choose 1 of two horses. You may also name him as he is now your horse.
Horse 1 is a American Quarter Horse built for speed. He will speed up your common monster respawn time by 1 day (6 days instead of 7).
Horse 2 is a Baroque Horse built for attack. He will give you 1 extra attack to both your weapons.
