Hmmm... I wonder how Maria is doing... Oh, hello traveler. Are you, by any chance, heading East to the Snail Hunting Ground? If so, then can you do me a favor...?

Maria, who lives in Amherst, promised to come here to pick some mushrooms with me, but she still hasn't come. I have a feeling she's deathly afraid of Snails and hasn't moved yet.

With that in mind, can you please go hunt 10 Snails for her, so she can safely walk her way here? I'd appreciate it a great deal if you can take care of those snails, then go to Maria and let her know it's alright to go.

Hmmm... You must be really busy with something.
