Blinking a few times you clear your head and decide you should probably help maintain the ratio and charge in to help Lord Alex escape certain lunch.
Find the direction words north, south, east and west each in a book or book title (one per book). Lord Alex gladly pays you 10 Gold for helping him escape. He also promises to buy you a round at the local tavern but you're understandably wary after hearing about his last joke where he put the magic frog powder in Lady Tea's drink and turned her into a frog for a week.

✓. Lady Kelly's Missing Quests. Reward 10 Gold DONE 5/3/2015
(view spoiler)[
After hard day hunt, you enter into the Tavern looking forward to some cool ale and maybe some nice stew you know that's simmering in the back. After all it was you who brought rat meat for it. You're sitting at your table, drinking ale and thinking about quests that are waiting for you tomorrow, when you hear sniffle behind you. You turn around trying to find where the sound came from, but only Lady Kelly is sitting in that direction. You're little scared to approach her, after all she's the Master here, but your kind heart can't say no to damsel in distress. As you start approaching Kelly, you hear her muttering "They are gone. They are all gone. What am I supposed to do now?!" and she starts crying again. You sit beside her, offer her your not so clean handkerchief and ask her what's wrong. Through tears you find out that someone broke into her room and stole all her future quests.
"All future quests?! But how's that possible? There are no thieves in Novel Kingdom! I'll help you Lady Kelly. Don't worry, you'll have your quests back!?" you yell and storm out of Tavern to find a thief.
To find Lady Kelly's quests read 2 books where someone steals something and 2 books where someone finds something. (use your imagination ☺)
Lady Kelly will gladly pay 10 gold for her missing quests.

The local theatre offers an open practice session to allow Novelarians the chance to see free performances and the actors the chance to practice in front of a live audience. You saunter in to get out of the sweltering heat outside and start to eat your giant turkey leg and side of tomato. Lady Rachel is up on the stage facing a grubby little trained pet goblin when she trips over her skirt and falls backwards. The director yells at her, "You're supposed to kill the goblin! Not the other way around!" Both Lady Rachel and the goblin stare at the director. Seeing the opportunity to help, you jump up (spilling your turkey leg and tomato onto the floor) and announce that you know how to make a great goblin sword that can easily pretend to smite a pet goblin. Running out of the room you go and search for the materials.
Gather 3 goblin bones then read a book with a grey cover to gather the metal then forge the metal and goblin bones together with a book that has fire (exact word, though may be part of a larger word) in the title or series. The director will gladly pay you 10 gold for setting the show back on track.

His thoughts turned to the previous night where he had met a young gentlewoman named Rose at the Guildhall Celebration. She was neatly dressed and while no beauty, had a quiet countenance. She was in the village visiting her married sister and was going to depart for home in a few days.
Dare he offer her a position of Nanny? Meeting Rose the next day he did just that.
If I Stay , she said, there have to be a few rules. I'll only do light housekeeping along with caring for your sons. Regarding any personal attraction that might develop between us due to our sharing the same roof I have A Single Demand . I'm a virtuous maid. There will be no kissing, no fondling, no Secret Seduction. If such as that happens, Consider me a Virgin Bought and Paid for and we would have to be married at once or risk unacceptable scandal.
Jordan agreed to her conditions and asked her to proceed him into the house to meet his children. Eyeing her gently swaying backside and trim figure, he thought maybe a little seduction and marriage might happen sooner than she thought.

CURES
(view spoiler)[
Plague Outbreak!
Lady Tea and Lady Kelly have returned from their travels abroad. Unfortunately, they did not maintain quarantine procedures and have brought back the plague to Novel Kingdom. So far it appears to only be affecting the animals of the kingdom. Sadly, sewer rats and other creatures seem immune and there is no decrease in their population. Until this plague is contained horses, rabbits, cats, squirrels, falcons and any other domesticated pet will be unable to perform their usual functions. Any new pet acquisitions do not have immunity unless provided a cure.
Dr. Cottage has been called in to assist in eradicating this plague and is hard at work.
The local shaman, Lazarus, is willing to brew individual cures if people provide the ingredients and a small donation (2 gold) for his time. He will be at the tavern waiting to assist those with the right ingredients. All ingredients must be no older than 1 month (read/acquired 5/16/15 or later).
The caravan has sent word that they are avoiding Novel Kingdom until the plague has been contained.
