Linebeck III

What's that look for? You've got a strange twinkle in your eye... Why, you devil! You found the Regal Ring, didn't you? Yup. Not yet.

Ha HA! I knew I could count on you to bring home the bacon, squirt! Well? Where is it? Let me take a look at the thing!

Oh, it's just breathtaking! Gramps always had an eye for treasure like this! The weight! The amazing craftsmanship! This beauty's worth a ton, for sure!

Oh, ya don't say! Must be one heck of a ring, then.

You bet it is! It's gotta be worth a cool 8,000 Rupees...

Hey, when did you get here?! How long have you been standing there?

Just came by to let ya know the bridge is all patched up.

Oh? Oh yes, that's right. Wonderful!

Sure is! And now that the work's done, I'll take that ring as payment!

So this little doodad's worth 8,000 Rupees? Coulda fooled me. Still, it beats takin' another IOU!

If you need anything else, just give me a holler!

Can you believe he just took off with that ring? It's worth almost double what I owed!

...Crud.

I guess that's that. Still, you've got a real talent for sniffing out treasure. Ooh! Tell you what--from here on out, bring any treasure you find to me! If they impress me, I'll trade you some lovely new train cars for those trinkets! Sound like a sweet deal? That's 'cause it IS!

Now get out there and find me something shiny, my little treasure hunter! I can't wait to see what you bring my way! Bye now!

Then quit standing around with that dopey grin, and get back to looking!

My grandfather buried the Regal Ring. You're going to find it and bring it back! Once I've got it, you can kiss that debt of yours good-bye!

Whoa! Your shield was eaten, was it? Ha HA, yes--those beasts will eat a shield right out of a man's hand! It's a very good thing that I happen to have a shield here I can sell you. The price isn't half bad, either. It's yours for 100 Rupees. Care to purchase it? Sure! Too steep.

Wonderful! Here we are!

Ha HA! Thanks for your patronage!

How embarrassing! You don't have enough money. Come back when you do!

Let's be realistic, kid. Do you REALLY want to be out there without a shield?

So, what do you think, squirt? Want to do a little work? Sure. No way.

Excellent! Now listen closely, as I only want to say this once. I've heard whispers about some high-value loot that was hidden here long ago. What loot, you ask? A gem of a treasure known as the Regal Ring! From what I can gather, the thing's got to be worth a cool 8,000 Rupees, easy! My grandfather left a letter detailing the ring's location shortly before his passing. I've read the clues he gave and looked all over, but I haven't hit pay dirt... This is where you come in. What say you find the ring for me and bring it back? Do that, and we'll generate more than enough Rupees to pay off your debt! Should be a sweet deal for all involved. Are you in? I'm in. I'll pass.

Fantastic! Here's the letter Gramps left behind, for your reference. Figure out the riddle, get your hands on the Regal Ring, and make us rich!

The ring seems to be near Gramps's grave. You can get there through here. Read the letter and see if you can suss out where the thing is!

Hmph. Someone's not a team player. I guess you'll just have to fix this problem on your own then!

What is it, squirt? You look a bit worried. Is it because a little kid like you doesn't have 5,000 Rupees to drop?

Well, relax. I've got a great idea I'm willing to share with you. We can scrape that moolah together IF you're willing to do a little work for me. Do what I say, and we'll have 5,000 Rupees before you know it! What do you say, squirt? Down for some side work? Sure. Nope.

I see you managed to fetch the bridge worker. Nice going there, squirt. You go ahead and show him where the bridge is busted. I'll head out later.

Go talk to the bridge worker who lives in the Snow Realm! Oh--if you give him a lift, watch how you drive! The guy gets ruffled easily. If things get too bumpy along the way, expect him to yell at you. A lot.

Hey! There's my little moneymake--erm, intrepid treasure hunter! What can Linebeck Trading Company help you with? Train car! Treasure! Nothing.

If you've got the goods, I've got a shiny new train car with your name on it!

Sweeter words have never been spoken! Let's see what you've got for me!

I see! Well, when you get some more treasures, come back to me!

Hey, squirt! You can't go wandering around without a shield! I can sell you one cheap. How's 100 Rupees sound? Sure. Nah.
