Guild Instructions: Attention, aspiring adventurers! We need a party with a knack for farming to assist a local farmer, Barnaby, with an urgent harvest. The recent rainstorms have caused havoc, leaving Barnaby short-handed and risking the loss of his valuable crops.

- Physical Labor: Farming requires physical endurance and stamina. Be prepared for a day of manual labor, including bending, lifting, and repetitive tasks.

For more information: For detailed instructions and guidance, please seek out Barnaby at his farm located on the outskirts of the village. He will provide you with specific tasks and offer further insight into the challenges you may face during the harvest.
Environment: As you arrive at Barnaby’s farm, you will be greeted by a picturesque countryside setting. Rolling green fields stretch as far as the eye can see, dotted with vibrant crops waiting to be harvested.
