Skills: 166 or less other.movement.climbing.tree bonus OR 100 or less covert.manipulation.sleight-of-hand bonus Find Mrs Smith in the house attached to the forge in Bad Ass. Ask her about Granny Weatherwax and she will send you on a quest for various items. The first item is always a small green apple.

'climb tree' and then 'get apple'. The tree will cause damage to you if you fail the skill check. The next two items you will be required to collect are random and could be any of the following: Wood: Obtain an axe, the general store often sells them. Look at trees around Bad Ass until the trees mention chopping them down. Once you locate them, hold the axe and 'chop tree with axe' until you have wood. Granny's Mail: Go to the general store and ask Martha Headlock about Granny's mail. Hat: Go to the sewing store and ask about Granny's hat. Peach Preserve: Inside the house connected to the forge, go upstairs and look at the ceiling. Go up through the trap door and ask Jud Smith for peach preserve for Granny.

Discworld quest page for Knotscape Navigator
Skills: >153 ad.direction bonus? Items: A guide book from the Bad Ass general store Items: A knife During summer or autumn: Go to the Bad Ass smithy and say "help" while Gordo Smith is there, then "yes". Follow Kev when he shows up. "judge" the distance to the town when he tells you to, and use the book to carve the appropriate symbols on the trees. During winter or spring: Go back to the smithy and say something about "marking grooves" to Gordo Smith, then say "yes". Drink the beer he gives you, and you'll wake up outside of town in the forest. "feel trees" to translate the grooves on the trees, then "head <dir> for <number> miles" in the indicated direction and distance to attempt to get back to the village. There is some randomness involved in the skillcheck, so you might have to try several times. The relevant information from the guide is reproduced below: Thee Bad Ass Trees ------------------ In the winter a system was needed for people who were lost in the Forest around Bad Ass. The chosen idea to help people get back to the village was a system of marks and grooves on trees around the village. It stretches out to 4 miles from the village in every direction. The grooves can be found on some trees about 5 feet up the trunk. On the following pages is a guide of how to read these markings. Every summer the marks are re-carved by a group of volunteers led by Gordo Smith. Their only payment is the offer to join Gordo for a drink in the forge on a cold winter night. Any volunteers are gratefully received, just ask Gordo about marking the grooves. How to read the markings ------------------------ On each tree there are two markings. You can feel these to see what they are. The first is a selection of three stars and lines, which indicate what direction the village is in. The second is a pair of stars and lines that indicate the distance from the village. Using these two markings you can find where the village is and head in that direction for the correct distance. You can use this book to look up markings and then decide which way to head. If you ever get really lost then you could always shout for help, and a local will rescue you if they are nearby. Thee symbols of thee trees -------------------------- Direction symbols: *** = North -** = Northeast *-* = East **- = Southeast --* = South -*- = Southwest *-- = West --- = Northwest Distance symbols: ** = 1 mile -* = 2 miles *- = 3 miles -- = 4 miles

[edit] "Patron Of The Arts", in which you mixed it up a little. (Quest level 5)
Discworld quest page for Patron Of The Arts
Items: A hammer (used to PULVERISE the stones, rocks, and pebbles into powder) and 1-3 bottles of linseed oil (can be bought in the stall in town) Items: Red rocks (north of the inn), yellow stones (on the south path into town), blue pebbles (Annie Spindlewits' garden) Items: 1-3 eggs (shelf in Annie's pantry) Items: Water (Annie's well), bottles are available in the scullery basket or bin Offer to help Virgo Vango in Brass Neck and he will give you a colour of paint which he desires. Next, create each primary colour of paint in the bowl in Virgo's back room. Required syntaxes are: clean bowl break egg into bowl mix red powder into bowl mix oil into bowl mix water in bottle into bowl Repeat the above steps for the yellow and blue powder, as needed to create your colour. Each bottle should have 3 doses of paint which can be mixed into the new shade, using "mix red paint in paint bottle into bowl". No colour will require more than three doses of each primary colour. The rules for colour mixing are straightforward: red + blue makes purple, red + yellow makes orange, yellow + blue makes green, red + blue + yellow makes brown. 1 dose of each colour is a "pale" shade and 3 doses of each colour is a "dark" shade. 2 doses is just the regular colour. If the colour desired is a mixed colour (green-brown), then you need brown (red + blue + yellow) plus green (blue + yellow), meaning you need 1 red + 2 blue + 2 yellow. Greenish-brown would be more brown then green, hence double the brown aspect (2 red + 2 blue + 2 yellow) before adding the green (1 blue + 1 yellow) for a total of (2 red + 3 blue + 3 yellow). If one part of the colour is "ish", there's less of that colour than the second part of the colour. If there's no "ish", the two parts are equal. There's some colours that mix different ratios of all three colours (1 red + 2 blue + 3 yellow, etc), such as gold, copper, bronze, turquoise, violet, and magenta. For those, look at the most prevalant colour (red for magenta) and use three parts of that. Then look at the second most prevalant colour (blue for magenta, because magenta is purplish) and use two parts of that. Use one part of the remaining colour. When you have created the right colour, 'scoop paint from bowl'. Give the desired shade to Virgo Vango.
