InAle & Tale: Tavern, you spent your savings on purchasing a rundown pub in the middle of nowhere. With only your wits and the help of your neighbors, you’ll rebuild and create one of the most popular taverns around. However, not everyone is as lucky as you are.
To help your tavern thrive, you’ll need to work alongside the merchant outside your establishment. On occasion, he’ll ask you to help with a few requests–often to rescue his friends from a spot of trouble. We’ll help you find the coachman in the forest and give him a proper meal pronto!
Where To Find The Guy In The Forest
Once the merchant tells you abouta man and a wagon lost in the forest, you’re left to your own devices to find and assist him. Since there’s no map and no tracker to show you where to go, your only hint is to search the forest.
Despite the signs pointing you to the forest behind the tavern, you’ll actually want tohead towards the wheat fieldssouth of the Tavern’s entrance. Make your way towards the windmills, thentake the path to the rightto find the coachman sitting on a stump next to his wagon.
Talk to himto find out what happened and how you can help!
How To Fix The Wagon
If you take a look at the wagon, you’ll notice it’scovered in dirt and missing several key partsthat make it run smoothly. All the wheels are missing, and there aren’t any horses nearby to draw the carriage.
The coachman needs your help toget everything backso his carriage can be repaired.Local orcs took everythingfrom his wagon, and the coachman isn’t equipped to take them on.
Where To Find The Wagon Wheels
Not far from the wagon,just over the hilland a bit closer to the windmills, you’llfind a campof orcs. All four wheels will be hidden in this camp, but you’ll need todeal with the three orcsfirst.
Make sure tobring health potionswith you and your best weapons! The orcs aren’t to be trifled with unprepared.
You can find the wagon wheels within the camp in these locations:
With all the wheels in your inventory,head back to the coachmanto return them to him.
Repairing The Wagon
Now that you have the wheels, the coachman asks if you canrepair the carriage. Equip each of the wheels, thenplace them on the empty axles.
You’ll also need toclean the carriage with your broomfor the coachman. There areten spots of dirtaround the wagon, withfour on the left and right wallsand two patches of dirt on the back.
Once the wagon is clean, talk to the coachman again. He needs help with a little more before he’s ready to go!
How To Bait The Boars
Since his horse ran away, you’ll need tocorral a couple of boarsto help pull his carriage. You canfind boars all throughout the forest, and luring them to the carriage is a dangerous affair.
While boarswon’t attack you unprovoked, you’ll have tostrike them with your swordor fire an arrow to get their attention.Lead them towards the carriage, but be careful not to kill them in the process!
Beware of the boar’s charge, as they’ll ram into you and deal a lot of damage.
Once you have two boars lured to the carriage, they’ll get suited up to draw the carriage. All that’s left is toreplenish the coachman’s foodsupply for the road. He asks fora barrel of beer and ten loaves of barley bread.
You canbrew the beer yourself or purchase itfrom the merchant to save time. To make the barley bread, you’ll need30 barley and ten portions of water.Deposit the ingredients into the stone oven and wait.
ensure youhave enough platesto carry it all, as you won’t be getting them back, thenbring it to the coachman.
He thanks you for the food andpays you handsomelyfor your efforts. Feel free to visit him and the boars any time, but the quest concludes and he won’t ask anything else of you.
