Ava

Ava is the main quest giver in Alaska. Ava and her family take care of the local nature in Alaska.

Ava recently lost a lot of her equipment and requests the player to find several items that fell into the sea. She suspects that there is a sea monster in the area that has been ramming into boats and destroying buildings. Ava asks the player to catch this monster, who she thinks is Kraken. After the player returns Kraken to Ava, she rewards the player with the Kraken badge. Following this, she also gifts the player an Arcane Crystal, which can be added to the Mysterious Pond on the Home Island.

Ava has a pet walrus called Mors Bruce.

### Day 1

#### Introduction (One Fish)

>
> *Hello! What are you doing in such wild and inaccessible waters? Wait a minute... You seem familiar to me. Yes, I know who you are!*
>
>
> *You are the <player name>! I have heard about your expeditions. My name is Ava. My family and I take care of the local nature. I could use someone experienced.*
>
>
> *If you can, please catch the **local fish*** *of any species or size and bring it to me.*
>
>
> *It shouldn't be a problem. There are quite a few schools of salmon swimming around.*
>
>
> *All you have to do is catch **one fish**.*
>
>
>
> *You are indeed good at fishing! Thanks. I like this species. It's a tough fighter. Please take these coins*  *and see you next time.*
>
>

#### Snowshoe

> *I have an urgent problem. Follow me.*
>
>
> *I need your help. Something huge rammed my boat. The equipment box fell into the water and shattered to pieces.*
>
>
> *Sea currents have scattered my gear around the area. Without them, I cannot function normally. If you help me, I will help you get to know this region better.*
>
>
> *Please, find my **Snowshoe**. The box fell into the water east of your helipad next to the **research station** pier.*
>
>
> *Did you find Snowshoe?*
>
>
> *Thank you! Without snowshoes, it is impossible to live here. We live here for several generations, but this is the first time something like this has happened.*
>
>
>
> *I know the snowshoe search was difficult, but I am missing a few more essential things. With my knowledge, you can count on successful catches.*
>
>

#### Skis

> *Hi <player name>! It's good to see you again. I'm glad you're so persistent. Two more things are missing. You know, a lot of weird stuff has been happening here for a while.*
>
>
> *A lot of strange things have been happening here for some time. After hitting something big, I still haven't found my **skis**.*
>
>
> *Maybe you can find my **skis** near the **kayak pier**? It's north of your helicopter landing pad.*
>
>
> *Did you find Ski?*
>
>
> *I'm very glad. You're awesome. Skis are the fundamental way of transport.*
>
>
>
> *I know you want a successful catch. Let me give you a hint... Blue Lingcod lives in the east if you are looking for rare species.*
>
>

#### Harpoon

> *Oh, it's you. Are you ready for a new challenge? I am looking for one essential item.*
>
>
> *I need **Harpoon**. It really comes in handy in this wild place. Will you help me?*
>
>
> *Bring me my **harpoon**. Time ago, these items were manufactured on a small island between the **walrus island and the research station** in the east.*
>
>
> *Did you find Harpoon?*
>
>
> *Fantastic job! You don't even know how much you helped me. Thanks to you, I got all my lost equipment back!*
>
>
>
> *<Player name>, I have to confess something to you. I didn't want to scare you, although I believe that the local legends turned out to be true.*
>
>

#### Compass

> *I'm glad you're here! A bit stupid, but I think I lost my **Compass**. It's a family heirloom. We have been passing it on for generations.*
>
>
> *I think my **Compass** fell into the water while fighting the impressive King Salmon.*
>
>
> *It was in the **area of an abandoned fishing base** in the south. I love this place. There are quite a few shoals of salmon there.*
>
>
> *Did you find Compass?*
>
>
> *Thank you! This is my compass! My family heirloom has been saved. By the way, I can't even leave the house without it!*
>
>
> *I noticed that the killer whales in the northeast have been extremely restless.*
>
>
>
> *If the legend of the sea monster is true, then the matter is really serious. Be vigilant. It's time for me, see you tomorrow!*
>
>

### Day 2

#### Wood

> *Hello <player name>! Something weird happened last night. Have you seen anything disturbing?*
>
>
> *Some huge animals destroyed our warehouse. We lost all our **Wood**. Will you find it for me?*
>
>
> *Could you help us collect them? We are still missing **4** sets of **Wood**. They usually drift on the surface of the water.*
>
>
> *Did you find Wood?*
>
>
> *Great job! Thanks to you we managed to replenish the stocks of **Wood**. I'm curious about what destroyed our warehouse.*
>
>
>
> *There will be more challenging tasks, please come back when you'll ready.*
>
>

#### Oil barrels

> *One more thing. We need to collect all the **Oil Barrel** from the destroyed warehouse that fell into the water.*
>
>
> *The **oil barrels** are tight but cannot stay in the water for a long time. Could you help us?*
>
>
> *Please find **3 oil barrels**. I'm sure I saw barrels near **small airport** in the west.*
>
>
> *Did you find Oil Barrel?*
>
>
> *Great! You know, the destruction in the warehouse shows this creature's high intelligence. The marks on the padlock and the door look as if the monster knows what it is doing.*
>
>
>
> *All traces show that this animal was gigantic. Maybe we'll find out what it is soon. See you next time!*
>
>

### Day 3

#### Spot Prawn

> *What a day. A series of strange events caught up with me. Something scared my pet, Mors Bruce. It's strange, he never acted like that.*
>
>
> *I have the impression that all these events are related. I need to find Bruce. Can I still count on you?*
>
>
> *We need to lure my walrus. Please, find **2 Spot Prawn**. They live near the **igloo village** in the far north.*
>
>
> *Greetings! What about Spot Prawn? Will you catch it for me?*
>
>
> *Great job <player name>! But I'm worried that it still may not be enough.*
>
>
>
> *I think the monster that scared Bruce lives **in the northeast**. It happened there.*
>
>

#### California Sea Cucumber

> *My walrus still has not returned. But I won't give up that easily. The **monster** will regret what it did.*
>
>
> *I need to check out one more way to lure Bruce. I need a **sea cucumber**. Will you help me this time too?*
>
>
> ***California sea cucumber** it's not an easy catch. But as I remember, that species likes cold environments. Check in the shallows near a **small island** on the east.*
>
>
> *Hi! What about California sea cucumber? Will you catch it for me?*
>
>
> *Thank you very much for your help. Now we will definitely find my walrus!*
>
>
>
> *And coming back to the topic of the monster. I think it might use camouflage. It will be difficult to catch it.*
>
>

### Day 4

#### Walrus

> *Hi! I did everything to lure my **Walrus**, but still nothing. I hope he is somewhere here.*
>
>
> *Please, stay focused during fishing. Maybe you will have more luck finding my friend. Please bring him home.*
>
>
> *Check if my walrus Bruce did not visit other **walruses**. They live between the **Walrus island and the ice** **floe cluster** in the northeast.*
>
>
> *Please find my **Walrus**, and bring him here. I miss my pet so much.*
>
>
> *Yo! What about Walrus? Will you catch it for me?*
>
>
> *You found him! It looks like he's put on a bit of weight. It doesn't respond to commands, but I think it's because of the stress. Now we need to find the monster.*
>
>
>
> *Look at these weird sucker marks on Bruce's skin. I've never seen anything like it. We need to catch this beast.*
>
>

#### Meteorite

> *I am motivated to finally check if the local legend is true.*
>
>
> *The oldest in the village says the monster is so giant it looks like an island. Maybe not all islands are just REAL ISLANDS!*
>
>
> *I'm trying to establish its localization, but my compass is completely broken. I need to magnetize it somehow.*
>
>
> *I have an idea! Please find a **Meteorite**. It fallen long time ago in the southwest.*
>
>
> *Did you find Meteorite?*
>
>
> *Good job! I'll try to magnetize the compass. Now it will be easier to find this giant monster!*
>
>
>
> *We already know that it lives in the **northwest**, but we still don't know when it's most active. Join me tomorrow.*
>
>

### Day 5

#### Coalfish

> *Hey <player name>! I've got some news. The oldest inhabitants of the village remember the legend of a powerful creature named **Kraken**.*
>
>
> *It hasn't been spotted for decades, but I won't bore you with stories. Bruce hasn't eaten for days. Can you help me catch some fish for him?*
>
>
> *Please bring me 25 kilograms of **Coalfish**. They are most numerous around small isthmus in the south.*
>
>
> *Hey! What about Coalfish? Will you catch it for me?*
>
>
> *You made it! Amazing job. The perfect portion for an adult walrus. Look, Bruce looks so happy! Thank you.*
>
>
>
> *I'll tell you a local secret. Very rare Ocean Sunfishes live in south waters. They are huge fish.*
>
>

#### Humboldt Squid

> *I've been thinking about this monster. People say the Kraken is so mighty that it easily covers the hulls of ships with its tentacles and pulls them straight to the bottom.*
>
>
> *Please catch the **Humboldt Squid.** I'll compare its sucker marks to those on Bruce. It is known to feed on Pacific Herring and Atka Mackerel.*
>
>
> *Search to the east of Walrus Island where these fish species are found, especially after dark, as the squid is nocturnal.*
>
>
> *Yo! What about Humboldt Squid? Will you catch it for me?*
>
>
> *Look, the suckers are a few times smaller. So indeed, our mystic monster could be a legendary **Kraken**.*
>
>
> *In 1782, 10 ships have mysteriously disappeared here. Maybe all the sunken ships in the area are Kraken's work?*
>
>
>
> *I have heard of strange marks on the stones appearing after dark. I think the creature is active after sunset. See you tomorrow!*
>
>

### Day 6

#### Bigmouth Sculpin

> *Hey <player name>! I was thinking about this **Kraken** every day. Okay, I still think there is a rational way to explain all this.*
>
>
> *Maybe all these people saw a big **Bigmouth Sculpin**? It's pretty scary. Can you bring it here?*
>
>
> *Let's check how Bigmouth Sculpin behave. It lives near **harbor** on the south, especially around rocks. It's active only at night!*
>
>
> *Oh, It's you again. What about a Bigmouth Sculpin? Will you catch it for me?*
>
>
> *You did it! Way to go! How ugly! Let's see ...*
>
>
> *Hmm... interesting.*
>
>
>
> *It's a scary creature, but it's still not our monster, not even close. Let's not lose our motivation.*
>
>

#### Frozen Acorn

> *Hi! I think that we have to change our strategy to catch **Kraken**. It's a smart beast, but I have an idea for a special bait.*
>
>
> *To attract **Kraken**, we need to change the ingredients of already existing mixture. Could you find one ingredient?*
>
>
> *Bring me **frozen acorns**. We will improvise! There is a lot of oaks around the **mouth of the Oak River** in the southeast.*
>
>
> *Did you find Frozen Acorn?*
>
>
> *Thank you. It is an essential ingredient to prepare the perfect bait. Time to end this story.*
>
>
>
> *Go to **Marina**, buy the bait and let's find **Kraken**.*
>
>

#### Kraken

> *Hey <player name>! Are you ready for your great adventure? The whole village believes in you.*
>
>
> *Remember, Kraken is strong and intelligent. Better prepare yourself with the best equipment.*
>
>
> *Wait till dusk, and try to catch **Kraken** in the **northeast**. Your success will bring peace to my village.*
>
>
> *Hi! What about Kraken? Will you catch it for me?*
>
>
> *Incredible! So this is the monster?! I've never seen such a huge creature! No wonder it was so hard to unravel this mystery.*
>
>
> *Our village will be safe again! Now we have only a climate to worry about. You are our hero! Please accept this prize .*
>
>
>
> *You know, there's one more puzzle to be solved. Completely **out of this world**! But about this next time... Till next time!*
>
>

## Additional interactions

### Crystal quest

> *I almost forgot. I have another small gift for you. This crystal has been here for generations, but no one knows where it comes from or what it's for.*
> *Rumor has it, there are more of them, and together they might unveil something hidden behind an ancient mystery. It's yours!*
>
>

### 1st anniversary celebration

> *The first year is already behind us! All the best!*
