Ken: Well it’s not my mess! I saw you dumping it there just to stop me getting into the village.
Veg: Pah! Nonsense. You threw it all here to stop me sneakily using your windmill.
Ken: Ah! So you admit it?!
Veg: I did no such thing, nor did I pour glue into the grindstone.
Ken: You just try that again and see how many pumpkins get filled up with fart gas.
Veg: So that was you!
Ken: I did no such thing!
Veg: Did too! Anyway, I am not clearing up this mess.
Ken: Well, I am sure some sucker will come along and clear it up. There’s always one do-gooder.
Veg: True, that.


A blockage stops the player from crossing either bridge.
'''Veg:''' Pah! Nonsense. You threw it all here to stop me sneakily using your windmill.
Clear the blockage using friends & family.
It costs only [[Brass]] as a resource to clear it.


Head to [[The Twanging Gardens]], south of [[FineFayre]].
'''Ken:''' Ah! So you admit it?! 


Enter Twanging Gardens and watch the scene with the [[Witchhunter]].
'''Veg:''' I did no such thing, nor did I pour glue into the grindstone.


[[Witchhunter]] “Aha! There they are!”
'''Ken:''' You just try that again and see how many pumpkins get filled up with fart gas. 


Marshtyt isn’t visible but we portrait pop-up a chat…
'''Veg:''' So that was you!
Marshtyt: “I am not coming out til that thing is gone! Please help!”


We return to the [[Witchhunter]] and player.
'''Ken:''' I did no such thing!
[[Witchhunter]]: Those two have been coming out of the forest and causing bother, and now they have a new toy. I wonder who gave them that?
See those rifts? I saw them before over in [[Homesteads]], but not being Fae I couldn’t touch them. Maybe you can? Be prepared for trouble though!


[[Witchhunter]]: “Clear those rifts out and then destroy that Totem! They seem to attract Hobs and Lobs and so on to the area they appear in. The blighters ravage the region of all its goods.
'''Veg:''' Did too! Anyway, I am not clearing up this mess.
I reckon if you can remove the totem, then the Hobs will go too. And don’t worry about dying in there, you will just get booted out for a small REP loss and can try again!”


'''Ken:''' Well, I am sure some sucker will come along and clear it up. There’s always one do-gooder.
 
'''Veg:''' True, that.
</blockquote>


*Destroy the Totem
* You must clear the blockage preventing access to either bridge. 
* This requires only [[Brass]] and help from friends/family.


Description: Remove the Totem by clearing out the rifts, before exposing the Totem. Interact with the rift portals and once destroyed, head to the Totem and enter the portal below it. You will need to have your sword and can’t use a loadout or items, so be sharp about it!
=== Entering Twanging Gardens ===
If your health reaches zero, do not worry as you are merely ejected with a small REP loss, and can try again.
* Proceed south of [[FineFayre]] to enter [[The Twanging Gardens]].
Reward: 10 REP per Rift and 25 for the Totem.
* A cutscene will begin upon entering, featuring a [[Witchhunter]].


*Talk to [[Marshtyt]]
<blockquote>
'''Witchhunter:''' Aha! There they are!
</blockquote>


Now that the Totem is gone, talk to [[Marshtyt]] the Master Gardener.
* [[Masters & Skills#Gardening - Marshtyt|Marshtyt]] is not visible, but a portrait chat pops up:


[[Marshtyt]] “Blessings be on you. I am [[Marshtyt]] the Master Gardener. I have no idea what that horrible thing was, but those Hobs stole everything.
<blockquote>
As thanks, return anytime and you can pick at my growers. And here, take this Blueprint. It will let you build a greenhouse so you can grow plants all year round.
'''Marshtyt:''' I am not coming out til that thing is gone! Please help!
If you are up to it, you could repair mine too. I’ll let you take whatever is grown in them.
</blockquote>
As for skills…well, bring me my requests in the time-honoured fashion and you could have your garden looking blooming great in no time.”


* The [[Witchhunter]] then explains the situation:


WitchHunter is stood by Marshtyt after the totem gets destroyed.
<blockquote>
Talk to him to get…
'''Witchhunter:''' Those two have been coming out of the forest and causing bother, and now they have a new toy. I wonder who gave them that? 
 
See those rifts? I saw them before over in [[Homesteads]].
Witchhunter: “Nicely done with that evil Totem. I’d keep your eyes peeled for them, or listen out for hints, watch Noticeboards etc. I am sure they will turn up again somewhere, but for now, you gave those buggers a taste of Mr Stabs.
We will meet again. Now, while I am here, I want to get some tips from Mr Marshtyt for my pansies…”
