Method
There is a sign posted in the Tavern in Liberty Bay:

You see a note pinned on the wall. You read: Missing ring! High reward! Contact Lady Eleonore in the Silverhand Manor!

To begin the quest, visit Eleonore in the Silverhand Manor located in the north part of Liberty Bay on a small hill.

Recover the stolen ring

 * Ask Eleonore about her missing ring. She will explain that it was stolen by a parrot, and taken to the nearby mountains, and she will reward anyone who returns it to her.

Eleonore: My ring was stolen by a parrot, directly from my dressing table near the window. It flew to the nearby mountains and I fear my ring will be lost forever. Whoever returns it to me will be rewarded generously. ... Eleonore: I guess that evil parrot hid the ring somewhere on a high tree or a rock so that you might need a rake to get it.


 * You will need your Rake.
 * Go directly east out of Liberty Bay until you reach the main entrance to the large Fort (you will need to go up one level to reach the fort).
 * Go to the north side of the fort, and look for a place that you can Levitate or use Parcels to go up.
 * Continue up the mountain by using the various steps and levitate spots.
 * Near the top of the mountain you will find a level with one or more Tarantulas. To the east is a tree with a Parrot in it. Use the rake on the tree, if you have the rake in your backpack you will get the ring in it.

You see a crystal ring. It weighs 0.90 oz. The initials E.S. are engraved on it.


 * Take the ring back to Eleonore.

Eleonore: Oh, my beloved ring! Have you found it and want to return it to me? player: yes Eleonore: Oh, thank you so much! Take this gold as a reward. ... which reminds me, I would need some help in another matter. It is only a small errand. Are you interested? player: yes Eleonore: Thank you! It is not a difficult matter but a rather urgent one. I need to send some money to a person in town. Would you be willing to run this small errand for me? player: yes Eleonore: I was hoping that you'd agree. Please deliver these 200 gold pieces to the herbalist Charlotta in the south-western part of the town. If you return from this errand, I will grant you 5 gold pieces as reward for your efforts.

Deliver money to Charlotta

 * If you accept the assignment, Eleonore will give you 200 gp to take to Charlotta in the slums of Liberty Bay.
 * Take the 200 gp to the far south-west part of town to find Charlotta.

player: errand Charlotta: Oh, so you brought some gold from Eleonore to me? player: yes Charlotta: Hmm, it seems that Eleonore does trust you. Perhaps she is even right. However. Since we need some help right now I guess we can't be too picky. Return to Eleonore and tell her the secret password: 'peg leg'. She will tell you more about her problem.


 * Once you have delivered the money, return to Eleonore.

Eleonore: Great, thank you! As promised, here are your 5 gold pieces. Is there ... anything left that you might want to discuss with me?

Find news about Captain Raymond Striker

 * Once you are a person that can be trusted, tell Eleonore the secret password "peg leg" to prove your trustworthiness.

player: peg leg Eleonore: You have returned my ring and proven yourself as trustworthy. There is something I have to discuss with you. Are you willing to listen? player: yes Eleonore: I am glad to hear that. So please listen: Due to circumstances too complicated to explain now, I met Captain Ray Striker. He is ... a freedom fighter and would not find my father's acceptance, but we fell in love ... Eleonore: Even though he had to hide for a while, we have stayed in contact for a long time now. And our love grew even further against all odds ... Eleonore: However, recently we lost contact. I don't know what has happened to him and fear the worst ... Eleonore: We always have been aware that something terrible might happen to him due to his lifestyle. But perhaps there is a harmless explanation for the absence of messages. I have arranged a passage for you to Ray's hiding place ... Eleonore: Contact Captain Waverider, the old fisherman, and tell him the secret word 'peg leg'. He will make sure that you arrive safely ... Eleonore: Please look for Ray and find out what happened to him and why he was not able to answer. Return to me as soon as you have found something out. I wish you a good journey.


 * Now find Captain Waverider. He is on a small peninsula south-east of the Liberty Bay Depot.

player: peg leg Captain Waverider: Ohhhh. So... 'you know who' sent you so I sail you to 'you know where'. It will cost 50 gold to cover my expenses. Is it that what you wish?


 * Captain Waverider will then take you to the island of Meriana, to the rebel camp of Sabrehaven.
 * Find Raymond Striker, he is in a house near the middle of Sabrehaven. When you find him, ask him about Eleonore and the mermaid

player: Eleonore Raymond Striker: Eleonore ... Yes, I remember her... vaguely. She is a pretty girl ... but still only a girl and now I am in love with a beautiful and passionate woman. A true mermaid even. player: mermaid Raymond Striker: The mermaid is the most beautiful creature I have ever met. She is so wonderful. It was some kind of magic as we first met. A look in her eyes and I suddenly knew there would be never again another woman in my life but her.


 * Now you need to find the man-stealing mermaid and try to break her spell over poor Raymond.
 * The mermaid Marina is near the northern coast of the island, just north-east of Sabrehaven.
 * When you find her, ask her about ray striker and you will discover that she does in fact have a spell on him, and will not release him unless someone better comes along.


 * If you explore the area just south-west of Sabrehaven, you will find the reclusive Djinn Ocelus on a mountain. This djinn is in love with Marina, but is too shy to ask her for a date. He would like you to ask for him.

player: Eleonore Ocelus: I heard the birds sing about her beauty. But how could a human rival the enchanting beauty of a mermaid? player: mermaid Ocelus: Oh yes, I noticed that lovely mermaid. From afar of course. I would not dare to step into the eyes of such a lovely creature. ... Ocelus: ... I guess I am quite shy. Oh my, if I were not blue, I would turn red now. If there would be someone to arrange a date with her. player: date Ocelus: Will you ask the mermaid Marina if she would date me? player: yes Ocelus: Thank you. How ironic, a human granting a djinn a wish.


 * Now you need to return to Marina and ask her for a date with Ocelus. She will turn him down out of dissappointment that he was not more romantic.

player: date Marina: Is that the best you can do? A true Djinn would have done something more poetic.


 * Now you need to return to Ocelus with the bad news. He will tell you to get a poem for him.

player: mermaid Ocelus: Oh my. Its not easy to impress a mermaid I guess. Please get me a love poem. I think elves are the greatest poets so their city seems like a good place to look for one.


 * Travel now to Ab'dendriel, and visit Elvith in the music shop there. Elvith is located under a hill to the far north of Ab'dendriel. You can purchase a love poem from him for 200 gp.

player: Marina Ocelus: Oh my. Its not easy to impress a mermaid I guess. Please get me a love poem. I think elves are the greatest poets so their city seems like a good place to look for one. player: love poem Ocelus: Did you get a love poem from Ab'Dendriel? player: yes Ocelus: Excellent. Here, with this little spell I enable you to recite the poem like a true elven poet. Now go and ask her for a date again.
 * Once you have the love poem, return to Ocelus, and he will magically grant you the ability to recite the poem as a true elven poet.


 * Now you need to go recite the poem to Marina and impress her with the djinn's romantic and poetic abilities. She will then give you the ability to ride her sea turtles, allowing you to access the Laguna Islands.

player: date Marina: This lovely, exotic Djinn is a true poet. And he is asking me for a date? Excellent. Now I can finaly dump this human pirate. He was growing to be boring more and more with each day ... Marina: As a little reward for your efforts I allow you to ride my sea turtles. Just look around at the shores and you will find them.
