Maria's Letter

Oh, hey there! You must be new and... What? Sam asked you to clear out some snails for me?

How thoughtful of both of you! You know, delicious mushrooms grow outside town. With the Snails gone, I can now safely walk over and meet up with Sam to pick some.

I feel so much better. The thought of those icky Snails, with their slimy bodies and beady eyes and...ugh. I'm grateful you got rid of them, but, er, can you do me another favor?

If I get too caught up in picking mushrooms and don't return to town until late, Lucas, the chief of this town, gets worried. Please give this letter to Lucas in Amherst. What? Where's Amherst?

Are you serious? Hehe! How adorable. You're IN Amherst, silly! If you're ever unsure of your location, you can press W to open the World Map and see where you are.

I understand... I wish you a pleasant journey anyway.

Eh. You look new. How can I help you? Eh? Maria wrote me a letter?

Ahh, you helped her? Maria's not afraid of much, but she's got Snail-phobia. Now, she can concentrate on picking mushrooms. She makes the most am-a-zing mushroom stew... That's why I worry so much. Without her...no stew!

Seriously, I appreciate what you did. To prove it, I want to introduce you to someone that can help you get stronger. Fast. Let me know when you've got some time.

Oh no, you lost the letter! I can write another one, so don't you fret.

You're new, eh? I'm the chief of Amherst. Hmmm... I wonder how Maria is. She went to collect mushrooms with Sam, but she's deathly afraid of Snails...

You didn't see Lucas, yet? He really cares about my safety. You can find Lucas in Amherst. Just look to your right a bit...
