Starting out

Talking to Councillor Halgrive

• Player: Hello. How are you?
• Councillor Halgrive: I've been better.
• Select an Option
• What's wrong?
  • Player: What's wrong?
  • Councillor Halgrive: You may or may not be aware, but a plague has spread across West Ardougne. Now, so far, our efforts to contain it have been largely successful, for the most part.
  • Councillor Halgrive: However, some sheep recently escaped from a farm near the city. When they were found, we noticed that they were strangely discoloured, so we asked the mourners to examine them.
  • Councillor Halgrive: They believe that the sheep have become infected with the plague.
  • Player: Are you sure it's the plague?
  • Councillor Halgrive: Well the mourners seemed convinced and they're the experts. Even if it's not though, the sheep are clearly diseased in some way.
  • Councillor Halgrive: As the councillor responsible for public health and safety here in East Ardougne, I am in charge of dealing with this problem.
  • Councillor Halgrive: We need someone to herd these sheep into a safe enclosure, kill them quickly and cleanly and then dispose of the remains hygienically in a special incinerator.
  • Councillor Halgrive: Unfortunately, nobody wants to risk catching the plague, and I am unable to find someone willing to undertake this mission for me.
  • Start the Sheep Herder quest?
  • Yes.
    • Player: I can do that for you.
    • Councillor Halgrive: You will? That is excellent news! Head to the enclosure we have set up on Farmer Brumty's land to the north of the city; the four infected sheep should still be somewhere in that vicinity.
    • Councillor Halgrive: Before you will be allowed to enter the enclosure, however, you must ensure you have some kind of protective clothing to prevent contagion.
    • Player: Where can I find some protective clothing then?
    • Councillor Halgrive: Doctor Orbon should have something suitable. You should be able to find him in the chapel just north of here.
    • Councillor Halgrive: Please also take this poisoned sheep feed; we believe poisoning the sheep will minimise the risk of airborne contamination, and is of course also more humane to the sheep.
    • 

      The councillor gives you some poisoned sheep feed.
    • Player: How will I know which sheep are infected?
    • Councillor Halgrive: The poor creatures have developed strangely discoloured wool and flesh. You should have no trouble spotting them. There should be four in total.
    • (End of dialogue)
  • No.
    • Player: That's not a job for me.
    • Councillor Halgrive: I do not blame you adventurer. It is not particularly pleasant work. My problem remains however. If you know of anyone suitable please send them this way; time is of the essence.
    • (End of dialogue)
• That's life for you.
  • Player: That's life for you.
  • Councillor Halgrive: That's what concerns me... There might not be much life around here soon.
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Councillor Halgrive again

• Councillor Halgrive: Please... please find and dispose of those four diseased sheep as quickly as possible. Every second the risk of contamination grows! If you need some protective clothing, speak to Doctor Orbon in the chapel just north
• Councillor Halgrive: of here.
• If the player lost the sheep feed:
  • Player: Some more sheep poison would be appreciated...
  • Councillor Halgrive: Certainly adventurer. Please hurry!
  • 

    The councillor gives you some poisoned sheep feed.
  • (End of dialogue)
• If the player still has the sheep feed:
  • Player: I'll do my best sir.
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Farmer Brunty

• Player: Hello there. I've spoken to Councillor Halgrive. He has asked me to round up your sheep and slaughter them.
• Farmer Brumty: Well, I always knew someone would have to. Make sure you're careful about it; there should be a cattleprod in the barn you can use to herd up the sheep.
• (End of dialogue)

Talking to Doctor Orbon

• Player: Hello doctor. I need to acquire some protective clothing so that I can dispose of some diseased sheep.
• Doctor Orbon: Protective clothing? I'm afraid I only have the one suit which I made myself to prevent infection from any contaminated patients I treat.
• Doctor Orbon: I suppose I could sell you this one and make myself another, but it would cost you at least 100 gold so that I could afford a replacement.
• Select an Option
• Okay, I'll take it.
  • Player: Okay, I'll take it.
  • If the player doesn't have 100 coins:
    • Player: Oops, sorry, I don't have enough money.
    • Doctor Orbon: That's okay. Just don't go near those sheep. When you can find the money come back here.
    • (End of dialogue)
  • If the player has 100 coins and 2 free inventory spaces:
    • 

      

      You give Doctor Orbon 100 coins. He hands over a protective suit.
    • Doctor Orbon: These should protect you from infection.
    • (End of dialogue)
  • If the player has 100 coins but not 2 free inventory spaces:
    • Doctor Orbon: You don't seem to have enough room to hold the protective suit. Come back when you do.
    • (End of dialogue)
  • If the player does not have the 100 coins:
    • Player: Oops, sorry, I don't have enough money.
    • Doctor Orbon: That's okay. Just don't go near those sheep. When you can find the money come back here.
• Sorry doc, that's too much.
  • Player: Sorry doc, that's too much.
  • Doctor Orbon: I'm afraid it will cost me that much to replace. I cannot possibly sell it for less.
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Doctor Orbon again

• Player: Hello again.
• Doctor Orbon: Did you dispose of those infected sheep yet?
• Player: Not yet.
• Doctor Orbon: You should hurry, they could infect the entire town in a matter of a few days!
• If the player has the gear in their inventory:
  • (End of dialogue)
• If the player does not have the gear in their inventory:
  • Doctor Orbon: I notice you do not appear to have your protective clothing with you. Would you care to buy some more? Same price as before.
  • Okay, I'll take it.
    • Player: Okay, I'll take it.
    • If the player does not have 100 coins:
      • (Same as above)
    • If the player has 100 coins:
      • (Same as above)
  • No, I don't need any more.
    • Player: No, I don't need any more.
    • Doctor Orbon: I suggest you go and retrieve your protective suit then. Trust me, you do not want to be infected.
    • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Councillor Halgrive after getting the gear

• Councillor Halgrive: Have you managed to find and dispose of those four sheep yet?
• Player: Uh... yeah... not quite just yet...
• Councillor Halgrive: Not quite's not good enough. It is vital you catch, kill, and incinerate all four sheep as quickly as possible. Each second they are free, the risk of further contagion increases.
• Player: Okay, I'll get to it.
• (End of dialogue)

Herding the sheep

Talking to Farmer Brumty

• Player: Hello there.
• Farmer Brumty: Hello adventurer. Be careful herding those sheep; I don't think they've wandered far, but if you touch them you risk getting infected.
• Farmer Brumty: I suggest you use the cattleprod from the barn over there to herd them, that way you won't have to touch them directly and risk infection.
• (End of dialogue)

Opening the gate without protect clothing

• Player: It doesn't look very safe in there. I'm not going in without decent protective clothing.
• (End of dialogue)

Use feed on sheep outside enclosure

• Player: I don't think I should kill the sheep outside the enclosure. The councillor was worried that it might spread the disease.
• (End of dialogue)

Prod sheep when not wearing suit

• Player: The sheep looks extremely unwell. I don't want to touch it without a full protective suit.
• (End of dialogue)

Prodding the sheep

• [Colour] Sheep: BAAAAA!
• (End of dialogue)

Prodding sheep into the enclosure

• The sheep obligingly jumps over the gate and into the enclosure!
• (End of dialogue)

Prodding the same colour sheep again

• There's already a sheep like this in the pen. You don't need to fetch another one now.
• (End of dialogue)

Prodding sheep already inside the enclosure

• The sheep is already in the enclosure. You don't need to prod it.
• (End of dialogue)

Using sheep feed on sheep inside enclosure without the protection clothing

• Player: The sheep looks extremely unwell. I don't want to touch it without a full protective suit.
• (End of dialogue)

Using sheep feed on sheep inside enclosure

• You feed some poisoned sheep food to the sheep. It happily eats it.
• You watch as the sheep collapses dead onto the floor.
• (End of dialogue)

Using poison on the sheep

• The sheep isn't going to drink the poison from the bottle. Perhaps you should try feeding it something else more appropriate.

Using sheep bones on the incinerator

• You put the remains into the furnace.
• The remains burn to dust.
• (End of dialogue)

Finishing up

Talking to Councillor Halgrive after burning all bones

• Councillor Halgrive: Have you managed to find and dispose of those four sheep yet?
• Player: Yes, I have.
• Councillor Halgrive: Excellent work adventurer! Please let me reimburse you the 100 gold it cost you to purchase your protective clothing.
• Councillor Halgrive: And in recognition of your service to the public health of Ardougne, please accept this further 3000 coins as a reward.
• Congratulations! Quest complete!
