4) Clawed in the Middle

Go back to the top of the island and talk to Hendrik by the pond. He shows you how to catch raw minnow, chop down a tree, light a fire, and cook the minnow. Once you are finished, Hendrik says that you’d better hurry and meet up with Gudrik. He can sense something on its way, like a storm but somehow different.

Head to the church. On the way, Crassians repeatedly ambush you. Defeat them and continue. Witnesses cowering nearby will reveal more details about what happened at the market.

When you reach the church, you find Gudrik blocked in by a horde of Crassians and their leader. You’ll have to take the brunt of the fight; however, Gudrik aids you by shooting them with his crossbow from above. Once some of them are defeated, he joins you in combat on the ground.

After the two of you defeat the last Crassian, Gudrik laughs and says he hadn’t felt such excitement since his adventuring days. He then suggests that you split up to find survivors. He’ll organise the town to bring the injured to safety, while you find Magda.

5) Refresh My Memory

Return to the market and inspect the marks near where you met Magda. Follow the marks back to Lucy’s and her husband’s house. Surprisingly, you find Magda standing by the door. She greets you, stating that you must be there to administer the medicine she brewed. After a short conversation, you discover that her memory of recent events has been warped. She claims that she was on her way to deliver medicine to cure the chef’s food poisoning, when she was viciously attacked by a seagull. As Lucy won’t answer the door, Magda asks you to take the cure inside for her. When pressed, Magda denies the existence of large, monstrous crabs and asks if you’re feeling alright.

Knock on the door. Lucy opens it and asks you to come in. Inside, she informs you that she saw the entire saga unfold from the upstairs window. After you and Gudrik took out the Crassians, her husband woke up and his condition rapidly improved. She suspects that the Crassians are responsible for the illness. Lucy then asks you to administer the medicine to Magda instead of her husband, as Magda’s mind has been affected by the disease. Lucy starts brewing some tea and asks you to let Magda in so that she can slip the medicine into Magda’s tea.

After taking a few sips, Magda regains most of her memory. While she isn’t sure why the Crassians targeted her, she suspects that they considered her a threat due to her knowledge of medicine. She thanks you for freeing her and her community and says she’ll meet you at her place once Lucy has caught her up on the day’s events. She then suggests for you to speak with the other townspeople, as they have rewards for you.

6) Knowledge Is Its Own Reward

Talk to Gudrik. He says that he enjoyed battling the Crassians and your assistance came in handy. To show his appreciation, he gives you some tips for combat. You automatically give back the weapon you borrowed and gain level 5 in your choice of Attack, Ranged, or Magic. Gudrik then says he’s heading to Port Sarim, mentioning that he’s sure you’ll meet again.

Talk to Hendrik. He offers you a lesson to help you survive in the natural world. You gain level 5 in Fishing, Woodcutting, FIremaking, and Cooking.

Finally, talk to Magda at her house. She shows you how to use the Lodestone Network, unlocking the Ashdale and Burthorpe lodestones. When you’re ready, cast Home Teleport to travel to Burthorpe.

Congratulations! Quest Complete!

You have completed Sunrise Over Ashdale.

Rewards:

1 Quest Point
Level 5 in Fishing, Woodcutting, Firemaking, Cooking, and a combat skill of your choice
Access to the Lodestone Network

If anyone read the first draft, it was pretty rough. I filled in placeholder NPCs with actual characters in-game and removed unnecessary bits. The story now only includes the characters Gudrik, Magda, Hendrik, and Lucy in major roles, with brief cameos from random villagers. It’s written to be an actual quest and is thus much more story-focused than the previous Ashdale tutorial.

I’m going to move the conversation into a different thread, as it’s progressed beyond the original suggestions. I want to include the suggestion of having Gudrik or some other NPC give a whole tutorial on RS3 interface customisation. If not Gudrik, the Lumbridge Sage would be a good candidate for that.
