How it starts

Something else. The old plough at the bottom of the Harrow field. By day it lies there. By night it moves.
Something drags it. Same furrow every night, deeper and deeper. Go and look. At night. And don't go alone, you're not daft. Mostly.

This quest is meant to surprise you. Go and find Hobb first.

What people tell you along the way

  1. Hobb: “At night, watch the plough at the south end of the Harrow field. (By day, look hard at the furrow it leaves.)”
  2. Hobb: “Read the word on the third tine (by day, or with a light at night).”
  3. Hobb: “Bring the Ploughbound down at night. It grows with every frog who stands against it: come ready, alone or with friends.”
  4. Hobb: “Use the yoke-pin at the plough (yoke it back) or at the third tine (give it to the Harrow).”
  5. Hobb: “Pick your weapon from Hobb.”
    Hobb: “A sword. Good honest iron. Mind the edges, they're the sharp bits.”
    Hobb: “A mace. For folk who like a problem to stay solved.”
