Cat quests:Teach a Knight to Fish - Repeatable Quest
Ahh, a lazy Saturday... or maybe it's Sunday. Either way, ahhh a lazy day that ends in y. You sit back relaxing on the bank of Spine River. Fishing rod in one hand, tavern beer in the other. You feel a tug on your hook. Quickly, you jump up and reel it in as fast as you can and... an old smelly boot.
Sighing in frustration, you toss it back in. Nearby you hear a man laughing loudly watching you. He walks over and shows you a bucket of fish. You ask if he'll share one of them with you. He replies "But if I give one to you, you shall have one, if you learn to fish you shall have many."
With that, your fishing lessons begin.

Questanomics
Novel Kingdom is dangerously close to entering a time of deflation. Queen Skye has been advised that she wants a nice healthy rate of inflation around 2% to maintain price stability and maximum knight employment. She is worried that if the kingdom falls into deflation everyone will hold onto their gold since it will be worth more tomorrow than it is today. She's even heard that there is novel hoarding going on! Help Queen Skye inflate the kingdom!
Read 3 inflationary books. Inflationary books have a "number" in the title. The number should be inflated to the next higher number as the series number. See link for examples of inflationary language.
Example:
For a Few Demons More - The Hollows #5 (four -> five)
Something Wonderful - Sequels #2 (one -> two)
A Rogue of One's Own (A League of Extraordinary Women, #2 - 7/9/2021
My Vampire Plus-One (My Vampires, #2) - 9/12/2024
Tunnel of Bones (Cassidy Blake, #2) - 10/21/2020
Receive +8 Exp for saving the economy.

You inquire as to if that's a good thing and she likes the knight. She glares at you. "No! I'm hot because it's the middle of summer and I'm bothered because Sir Quinn is a ninny. He bought me chrysanthemum instead of roses!" You venture over to Sir Quinn and inquire if you can help though you're unsure as to if you should also offer your sympathies.

12/12/24 UpdatesQueen Skye's Winter Festival
Queen Skye can't wait for the winter celebrations to start, but she's more of an ideas person than a completer-finisher, so she needs help getting everything ready!
Decorate the palace
More than anything the Queen wants a fabulously decorated main hall, with banners and lights and - of course - a beautiful tree!
Tree
First, find a tree, by spelling out SPRUCE (must use NEW books, read after you start the quest, to avoid premature needle-drops)
S - Sloane - Make The Season Bright 12/11/24
P - Portrait in Death duplicated 12/12/24

U - Upgrade duplicated 12/12/24

Next, wrestle it into a pot by spelling out POT
P Panning For Murder 6/16/22
O Once Upon a River 5/14/20
T To Coach a Killer 7/28/20
Finally, make sure it's nice and straight by reading a book with a tree on the cover
12/12/2023On completion of all three parts, you get 10xp
Now the tree is positioned, it's time to decorate it and the hall! Go crazy here, finding books with things to hang from the tree or on the suits of armour and weapons around the hall.
Colour scheme:
you can use: up to 6 books with colour covers to set the colour theme. You get 1xp for each book you use (to a maximum of 6xp), You can choose to have as many different colours in your scheme as you like but for each different colour you use you LOSE a point. So, if you have 6 books with 6 different colours you will get a total of 7xp; if you have 6 books all in the same colour you will get a total of 12xp
- 1 colour = +6xp
- 2 colours = +5xp
- 3 colours = +4 xp
- 4 colours = +3 xp
- 5 colours = +2 xp
- 6 colours = +1 xp

For the purposes of this, use TinEye, and the colour cover must be 60%. No debate over what TinEye says, however wrong you feel it to be!
Decorations:
In addition to books for the colour scheme, you can hang up to 10 items on your tree / around the hall, using items on the cover, 1xp for each item hung (i.e. maximum 10xp). Feel free to be creative, and to brag about your tasteful / gaudy decorations in the Tavern!

Ubiety in Perpetuity
The local librarian (a powerful political position in Novel Kingdom) is walking around looking frazzled in the tavern. You gently take the book out of his hands and notice it's a dictionary. You ask him what the problem is. "I just can't find the word I'm looking for! Property of something or other!" You calm him down and assure him that you'll help find the word he's looking for.
Read a book where the plot, a main character, or other large aspect of the book reflects the words definition.

5,000 Leagues Under the Sea
You've never been one to try to outdo everyone else. No one really needs to go a whole 20,000 leagues under the sea when 5,000 is plenty. You're quite sure after traveling 5,000 leagues that there's really nothing more that would surprise you down there. You've seen all the fish, sunken ships, sharks and mermaids that you could ever care to see in the sea. Just make sure to take some pictures so you can have a few rounds bought for you at the Tavern after you've returned.
Travel 5,000 leagues and take pictures! Reserve a wonderful spot at the tavern for all your stories.
Leagues may be travelled by reading books. To determine the amount of leagues travelled by a single book, round down to the nearest 100 pages, then calculate 2 to the power of the number of hundreds of pages. (Hint: use the xy button on the calculator)
Examples:
512 page book -> 5 hundred pages -> 2^5 = 32 leagues
1072 page book -> 10 hundred pages -> 2^10 = 1024 leagues
Leagues
Got from breathe of air quest A Breath of Snow and Ashes 1488 -> 14 hundred pages -> 2^14 = 16384 leagues

12/13/24 - updates cont.2 To Plant a Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow - Repeatable
It's a Saturday, a lazy Saturday. You stroll through the local Novel Gardens on your way to get Novel Coffee and Novel Crumpets.
All of a sudden a small white rabbit darts across the field and disappears down the next row. You think that this is rather odd and it gives you a vague sense of déjà vu. You hurry quickly after it (what else are you to do really).
You round the corner and stop, eyes going wide. The rabbit is there sitting on a small chair. A table sits in front of him with a large orange carrot. He delicately slices the carrot into fine pieces and pops them into his mouth, chewing furiously.
You inquire as to where he found such a lovely carrot. He responds that Old Friar Tuck grows them in his garden.
You leave pondering such gardening feats. You head back to your house, though sometimes you feel it's just an empty plot of land. A patch of land on your property seems to glow with the light of future veggies.
Start your veggie garden.

Abominable Snowman Attacks - extinct for winter 2024-2025Reports of Abominable Snowmen sightings are on the rise, and not just because the snow has started to cover the forest and cottages. They are getting more bold and stomping on people's houses, flattening everything they own!
Snowmen are seen only in winter (from 21st December to 20th March). They melt on the first spring day. New snowmen appear every year.
The Snowman is weak against Fire spells, strong against Life. You can't use a sword or staff to attack it, as they just split apart and reform afterwards. (Population: 3)

• You’ll need to dig deep—find a book where "deep" and/or "depth" appears at least 40 times, because nothing inspires a hard day of shoveling like a little literary repetition.
Deep - 55 times

1/3/25 UpdatesThe Doppelgänger
[You've heard it whispered that everyone has a doppelgänger, a supernatural look-alike, or an evil twin. You never believed such wild tales...until now. Everywhere you go lately, people stop to stare at you and whisper to each other behind their hands. Some people even turn around to avoid you! You are just about to confront one of the villagers when your eye lands on a new Wanted poster hanging in the window of the local constabulary. Some scoundrel in Novel Kingdom has been stealing other adventurers' books! What's worse? Above the description of the crime, you see your own likeness staring back at you! But you've never stolen anything from anyone, least of all a book. Someone with your face is causing trouble in Novel Kingdom. Can you find them and prove your innocence before it's too late?
To avoid being arrested, you must find your doppelgänger and prove your innocence:
∙Read a book about twins
[book:The Vanishing Half] 8/29/2022
∙Read a book where someone is framed or proven innocent
