Gift Wrapping Pro
Hey, long time no see! Did you just come back from a trip? I usually head back to Falconreach for the holidays but I wanted to stay here this time. Yulgar, Serenity, and Aria definitely need the extra hands. And for once, I get to be the expert! Lots of adventurers signed up for caroling and the gift-wrapping workshop. My hands are covered in paper cuts but it's really cool helping out our local heroes.

Migrators
Psst, we've been getting a lot of visitors from Swordhaven lately. They aren't nobles, just regular folks good at reading, metalwork, and a couple of cooks from the royal kitchen. They're on a long trip to the coast, and took a pitstop here. Looks like there's a big project going on, and they're all really excited about it. I wonder if they're helping out the Queen. Weird, wouldn't you usually be the first to know about these kinds of things?

Bard
You just missed an incredible guitarist that dropped by the other evening. They were shy when I asked about their instrument, but after Serenity chatted with them, they gave us a concert. It was a one-person show but I felt all my worries melt away when the music washed over us. The bard was with their two sisters, heading off to the coast to do some work. The one with the glasses glared at me for bugging them too much, haha.

Temporary Castle Groundskeeper
Did the Sisters trick you into arriving early so you could help clean? I would've helped if they'd have just asked, and been more prepared, too. The castle's so haunted that even the stains scream when you hit them with the mop. Thanks to Tara, Nythera, and that other strong fellow helping, the hallways are safe and decorated for the Gala! That leaves the locked rooms, which you're about to open…oh, and more cleaning.

Ghosts
You're not a stranger to restless spirits. Neither am I. They pop into Yulgar's Inn this time of the year, so Serenity and I would smoke them out with sage. But those were your typical spooky scary ghosts. The ones in this castle… they're mean. They don't just attack you unprovoked. They make fun of you for looking poor, having freckles, and wearing dented glasses. Even the upper crust guests that checked into the Inn didn't insult me… to my face.

Yulgar's Inn
I miss helping Serenity and Yulgar decorate the Inn for Mogloween. It'd be nice if we could make the Temple festive, but I'm afraid of it getting in the way of your serious work. Having this Mogloween Gala is perfect middle ground, and a chance for Aria and Yulgar to relax before he sees her off. Did you hear? Aria's going to head off to learn about Nature magic from experts. She's going to stay at Dragonrune Hall first.

Folktales
Have you heard of the folktales about this castle? It belonged to the Taylor Family. The villages used to be free of illness because they were so good at healing. It all went downhill after Lord Andrew Taylor began hosting big parties for the worst of the nobility. Taxes were raised to fund their entertainment, and people would go missing. It culminated in a gala where they all suddenly disappeared. Right, we're throwing a big Gala too. Spooky…

Temporary Castle Groundskeeper
The castle was shaking like crazy for a while! Was that you? Whatever you did made the ghosts calmer. Thank you! The guests are going to have a party they'll never forget. Wait a minute, I'm a guest too! Aria and Yulgar are coming to visit. We need to make the most of the night before Aria starts her Nature Magic studies. Don't make yourself scarce, we'll see you in the ballroom!

Groundskeeper
The Queen's on her way, and what if she has a hankering for fish instead of turkey? I have to cover all my bases. Tara was really looking forward to this, and I want to help her out. Is it normal for fish around here to laugh? They keep pointing their fins and snickering at me. It's, uh…making me self-conscious.

Grounds
Tara accidentally turning everything blue isn't a big deal, and I hope she doesn't feel like she ruined the feast. Besides, compared to the big guy downstairs, literally anything else is a great distraction. I know you're really busy, but I hope we'll evict that surprise tenant soon. Even when I'm outside patrolling the grounds, I hear it. Sorry, sorry, I don't want to be a downer on such a nice day.

Chores
Even though I'm the groundskeeper, I also keep the Temple clean, cook everyone's meals, keep track of our supplies - and I think it'd be nice if we could hire someone else to help out. Maya and Muusa are really clear about which of their books could curse me, but I get tired, forget, and get turned into a toad for a day. Shakaz and Rand offered some Undead minions, but I have some reservations about that kind of thing, haha…

Queen
Thank the Avatars Tara took the lead with Harvest Fest this year. If I flubbed cooking for Queen Victoria, I'd forget about my dreams of adventure and toss myself into this river. One strange thing, though - I figured that I could give my update letters about Termina Temple to her directly, but Sir Richard took them like he usually does. Did I do something wrong? Ah…at least he stopped me quietly so the Queen wouldn't notice.

After completing the 'Coiled Cornucopia' quest:

Groundskeeper
Tara and Queen Victoria had such a good time. I'm happy for them! Lady Celestia also offered to get Volgritian to help me with my day-to-day tasks, which is really nice of her. But what does that mean? What's he going to do? I'm picturing that giant Dragon dropping a mouthful of deer on the roof. Or, maybe he'll deal with the dusty windows by using his storm breath on them.
