Walkthrough[]
When the Hero enters Orchard Farm, he will be greeted by a relieved Isiah the farmer, who was worried that no Hero would accept his request with his meagre offer of payment (750 gold). He will instruct the Hero to guard the boxes in his barn. He then leaves on the pretence of comforting his wife, who has been terrified by the unwanted attention the boxes have been bringing. The bandits attack in three different waves, usually with three or four bandits each wave. After defeating them all, Whisper (who had taken the opposite quest card) confronts you, demanding for a rematch. She first ensures that you know how to flourish, guarding against your attacks until you use a flourish, at which point she fights back. However, this battle is still as easy as the last one, and Whisper goes down without much effort. After this, Whisper flees, and Isiah and his wife come and congratulate the Hero on his success, promising to tell everyone of the Hero and his deeds for them.

Trivia[]
