Quest 2: Lemon Drop Stop[]
Twilight Sparkle Good thing I stopped by the bookstore... I found a super important clue in an old travel journal entry.
Twilight Sparkle It was hard to read... BUT my investigative skills are amazing! The entry says: "Appaloosan Arachnids loathe lemons."
Twilight Sparkle This is unpublished! If I can add this to the second edition of the Cave Dweller's Reference Guide, it would be invaluable!
Twilight Sparkle Not to mention it would have saved us a lot of trouble the last time we were down in those caves...
| Lemon Drop Stop | |||

| "I'll pick up some lemon drops to test this theory! A good field researcher is hooves-on, and always double-checks their work." | Task/Skip | Task requirement | Rewards |

Send Twilight Sparkle to pick up lemon drops from the Lemon Stand.
