Cat quests:Teach a Knight to Fish - Repeatable Quest
Ahh, a lazy Saturday... or maybe it's Sunday. Either way, ahhh a lazy day that ends in y. You sit back relaxing on the bank of Spine River. Fishing rod in one hand, tavern beer in the other. You feel a tug on your hook. Quickly, you jump up and reel it in as fast as you can and... an old smelly boot.
Sighing in frustration, you toss it back in. Nearby you hear a man laughing loudly watching you. He walks over and shows you a bucket of fish. You ask if he'll share one of them with you. He replies "But if I give one to you, you shall have one, if you learn to fish you shall have many."
With that, your fishing lessons begin.

What ate the sun? - 12/8/24
You stumble out of the tavern again around noon (you really should probably get help for that). It's oddly dark outside. Maybe it really is night time. Maybe you don't have a problem..... nope... you do.
