|
|
Well Don, this is the end of the line for you.
|
|
I gave the Try-N-Save the best years of my life. Stopped a hundred shoplifters from committing heinous, grisly misdemeanors.
|
|
|
All to wind up here. Taking the only job I could find -- night guard at an anchor store.
|
|
|
Sure, it's the best anchor store in town. Hankerin' for Anchorin' and Anchor Notions just can't compete.
|
|
|
Still, it somehow feels like a step down.
|
| Task: "Make Don Brodka Stare at Anchors". The job takes place at Anchor Management and takes 4 hours.
|
|
Good morning, sir! How was the night shift?
|
|
'Bout 3AM, a bird landed on the big anchor. I grabbed it for questioning, but it played dumb. I let it go with a warning.
|
|
Great Scott! The big anchor is missing! We've been robbed!
|
|
What?! I've been staring at it all night!
|
|
|
Who? Who could possibly make off with that massive anchor?!
|
|
|
I'll tell you who. The man, the myth, the legend - The Sea Captain!
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10

|
| After tapping on Don Brodka's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Sea Captain?! Why would HE want an anchor?
|
|
Uh, for his boat?
|
|
|
Anchors are for boats? I guess I should have done some research before taking this gig.
|
|
|
They say the Sea Captain was raised by a kraken, and sails a ship made from the bones of lost sailors.
|
|
|
Others say he's a lonely former mailman who wears a captain's hat as a conversation starter. Either way... spooky stuff!
|
|
|
Kid, you need to lay off the glue. Let's check out the surveillance tape.
|
| Task: "Make Don Brodka Check Surveillance Footage". The job takes 8 hours.
|
|
|
One minute the anchor is there, the next it's gone! Impossible!
|
|
|
It's the magic of the sea.
|
|
|
There's no such thing as sea magic. Only land magic. Magic stops at the shore, idiot.
|
|
|
What do they teach you kids in school nowadays?
|
|
|
Well, I am NOT getting fired twice in the same week. Let's talk to this sea captain!
|

|
|
| After tapping on Don Brodka's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Kid, hang back while I shake down the old man. And watch out -- once he knows we're onto him, he may swallow the anchor to hide his crime.
|
|
|
It weighs twenty tons.
|
|
|
I once cornered a shoplifter who swallowed three eyewitnesses before I could react.
|
|
|
Your hardcore thieves are all first-rate swallowers.
|
Task: "Make Don Brodka Perform an Interrogation". The job takes place at Anchor Management and takes 8 hours.
If Sea Captain is owned: Task: "Make Sea Captain Be One Slippery Fish". The job takes place at Anchor Management and takes 8 hours.
|
|
Sea Captain! Paid any visits to the anchor store lately?
|
|
|
Yarrr. I, too, be interested in the disappearances there.
|
|
Beware, Brodka. There's deviltry afoot. Anchor Management be a cursed and wretched place.
|
|
|
Uh-huh. By the way, is it true you used to be a mailman?
|
|
|
Aye. Forty-three years I cruised the neighborhood of Elmwood Heights. 'Tis a cursed and wretched place, too.
|
|
|
Any places NOT cursed and wretched, you figure?
|
|
|
Portland's not TOO cursed and wretched. I been there one time. Good food, nice bookstores.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Don Brodka's exclamation mark
|
|
|
That salty dog as good as admitted he's our man, but we need to catch him in the act.
|
|
|
You're dealing with powers you can't possibly understand, Mr. Brodka!
|
|
|
The only thing that scares me is unsolved crimes. Spiders aren't great, and the dream where I'm skydiving but my parachute won't open is pretty bad, too.
|
|
|
But mainly unsolved crimes.
|
|
|
*ack* He's back! Returned to the scene of the crime to curse us with his nautical necromancy!
|
|
|
Oh no he doesn't. Tail him!
|
| Task: "Make Don Brodka Tail a Shoplifter". The job takes place at Anchor Management and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Five more anchors are missing!
|
|
|
Sea Captain! Tell me what you know! No more riddles!
|
|
|
I bet it never occurred to you to lick one of the anchors you guard, did it?
|
|
|
I must be slipping. Usually, licking the merchandise is the first step in any serious investigation.
|
|
|
*licks anchor* Hmm... tastes sweet. Is this... spun sugar?
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
| After tapping on Don Brodka's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Anchor Management been cutting corners, making their anchors not from steel, but from sugar.
|
|
|
And every morning, the sprinklers dissolve the sugar-anchors! Why didn't I think of that?!
|
|
|
Probably because it's a pretty dumb idea.
|
|
|
Thanks to this evil, the yachts and powerboats of a hundred retired doctors have been set adrift, dashed on the rocks.
|
|
|
Humanity... what a joke.
|
| Task: "Make Don Brodka Struggle With the Weight of the World". The job takes 12 hours.
|
|
|
I'm sorry I doubted you, Sea Captain.
|
|
|
It's not yer fault, lad. I never would have believed humanity capable of such evil, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
|
|
|
I no longer understand the land world It's time to return to the sea, and my fish girlfriend.
|
|
|
You mean... you're dating a mermaid?
|
|
|
I meant exactly what I said.
