Oh, hey there! You must be new to this place and... you seem to have trained quite well. What? Sam asked you to clear out some snails for me?

Wow, thank you so much! You know, there are delicious mushrooms growing all around Mushroom Town, and I wanted to pick some up myself, but there were so many Snails out there that I was a bit hesitant to go. Thanks to you, I can now safely walk there and meet up with Sam. Thank you, and thank you.

Now that the Snails are gone, I feel relieved that I can safely pick those mushrooms up til late. Hmmm... I'm sorry to ask you this, but... can you do me another favor?

If I return late, our chief of this town, Lucas, will get very worried about me. Please take this letter, and give it to Lucas at Amherst. What? Where's Amherst?

Since you're at the split road, all you need to do is take the one on Northeast. That should lead you to Amherst. If you aren't sure, then press W to open the World Map and see where you're going. If you happen to lose the letter, please come back and see me. I can always write another one.

I understand... hope you have a fun journey.

Hmmm... You look like a new traveler. What can I do for you? Hmmm? Maria wrote me a letter? What happened?

Ohhh, so you helped her out? What a helpful traveler. Thank you for helping her out. Maria's usually not afraid of much, but she has a Snail-phobia. She absolutely hates Snails. Thanks to your help, she won't have to worry about them and just concentrate on plucking those mushrooms.

I want to show you my appreciation for your good deed. Since you look like you have just gotten your feet wet in this journey, I suppose the best thing for you right now is to get stronger, fast. As you train yourself harder, I'll introduce you to an instructor that can really train you, so if you have some free time, let me know.
