The Woodland Stable Haunting

Speak with Drak About the Disturbances

Drak is exhausted and jumpy. For two weeks, every night between midnight and 3 AM: horses panic in their pens, saddles move, and high-pitched clicking sounds come from the storage room. He's searched the storage room three times in daylight and found nothing. He asks Link to spend the night at the stable and investigate at midnight.

Investigate at Midnight

Rest at the stable until midnight. At midnight exactly, the clicking begins from the storage room. Approach slowly — the door is cracked. Inside, five Blupees are nudging a crate of Luminous Stones (accidentally left by a trading caravan two weeks ago — the same time the haunting started). The Blupees are not hostile; they're playing with and guarding the stones. They scatter briefly when the door opens but return immediately.

Move the Luminous Stones from the Storage Room

Use Ultrahand to move the crate of Luminous Stones out of the storage room. The Blupees follow the crate anxiously. Relocate the crate to the treeline north of the stable — about 30 meters into the forest. The Blupees follow it there and settle around the crate in the forest. They won't return to the stable now that the stones are in a more natural environment.

Report Back to Drak at Dawn

Return to Drak in the morning. The night passed completely quietly. He's slept for the first time in two weeks. When Link explains the Blupees and the stone crate, Drak is relieved and slightly embarrassed. He opens the crate and splits the Luminous Stones — keeps half for the stable's nighttime lanterns, gives the other half to Link. The Blupees visit the stable edge at dusk now, which he says is good for business.
