Start Point:
Outside the Pick and Lute tavern in Taverley.
To Start:
Speak with Nails Newton.
Instructions:
-
Speak to Nails Newton and he will explain that a greedy merchant called Rolo the Stout is buying all food in the area and selling it for a high price to the refugees. Nails requires Rolo's official seal to authorise a letter which will release all food in the storehouse for free, however it is kept in a chest that never leaves Rolo's sight. Nails will suggest baking a pie that will make Rolo so ill, he will have no choice but to leave his chest unattended.
-
Start by heading southeast until you come across a bridge with a dead troll lying on the ground nearby, pick up some of the Fishing bait surrounding it. Next, walk south and pick some Wheat from the nearby field and then head north into the watermill. Climb upstairs and use the Wheat and Fishing bait with the hopper, pull the hopper controls to mash it up and head back downstairs. Use an Empty pot on the flour bin to collect Maggoty flour and return to Nails.
-
Head just northeast of Nails and you should find a pond. Catch a Raw crayfish - Nicholas Angle will give you a crayfish cage if you don't have one - and take it over to the flax field directly to the west. Upon entering the field, you’ll automatically bury the Raw crayfish in the ground and take it out again. You'll have a Manky crayfish. Take this back to Nails, who will now ask you to stick a Raw potato in a kebbit hole.
-
Head north towards the farming patch and trade with Head Farmer Jones to claim a Raw potato, walk into the snowy area west of here to find a kebbit hole and use the Raw potato on it. Take the Stinking potato you receieve back to Nails.
-
Now, use the Stinking potato and Manky crayfish with the Maggoty pie shell and to get a Terrible pie (uncooked) and use this on the oven in the Pick and Lute pub to bake a Terrible pie. Show the pie to Nails and he will tell you that you’ll need to acquire some spices to cover the smell. Walk south and you’ll find Foppish Pierre; pickpocket him to get Expensive spices, and add these spices to the pie to get a Mouth-watering pie.
-
Go into the pub and climb the staircase to find Rolo the Stout seated at a table. Talk to him and when he asks, give the pie a name. Rolo will eat the pie and become sick. Speak with Nails and he will tell you to head back upstairs to pick the lock on Rolo's chest. You’ll get the Seal from the chest.
-
Finally, head back downstairs to give the Seal to Nails, who will give you a Forged letter and ask you to show this to Foppish Pierre who is just to the south. Pierre will reluctantly agree to open the food store and give away the food for free. Now, go back to Nails and talk with him to finish the quest.
