| “ | You see, Tarah's got in her head that she needs to go find a partner, and she ran off yesterday talking about this great hero being spotted in the valley. I'm certain those stories were just the news of your escapades here and abroad, but I didn't get the chance to tell her such before she left. I thought she'd be back within the day, but she still hasn't come back. I wouldn't presume to ask that you indulge her, but would you please check on her to see if she's ok? And bring her back home if she isn't. She's... not really the type to do well alone.

Detailed Summary
Acquisition
When the Champion enters Kavi's shop, the shopkeeper looks both hopeful and crestfallen, and asks the Champion for a moment. Kavi explains that Tarah, her bubbly daughter, wants to find a romantic partner and got excited about a great hero spotted in the valley, and she took off yesterday before Kavi could explain that this "hero" was probably the Champion. She still hasn't returned, and Kavi asks if the Champion could look for Tarah and make sure she's okay, as she's not the type to do well alone.
The Champion assures Kavi they'll keep an eye out, and asks her if she has any recommendations on where they might start looking. Tarah hasn't been outside of the village much, Kavi explains, and she suggests that Tarah might be close to the nearby river, for which she was named.
At Pupperidge Farm
Deciding to check Pupperidge Farm, the Champion encounters a sleep-rumpled Tarah coming up the path. Tarah is excited to see the Champion, and bubbles at them that she drank a bunch of milk at the farm and then forgot what she was doing... and then remembers! She was looking for the hero so that she could bring them home to her mom, and she asks the Champion for their help finding this person.
The Champion can respond:
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| It's Me | Confess you are the hero. This will result in horse romance. |
| Help | You aren't really interested in this equine romance business, but that doesn't mean she should leave disappointed. |
Romantic and Platonic Routes
It's Me
The Champion explains they're the hero Tarah was looking for. Tarah takes a moment to process this, and then excitedly asks if she needs to kick the Champion's butt for them to be mates--or maybe the other way around?
The Champion can:
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Fight | You'll have to be careful, but you're sure you could make a fight end well for Tarah. |
| Talk |
Attempt to convince Tarah through conversation. Attempt to convince Tarah through impeccabooble logic. |
The Champion accepts Tarah's challenge, promising to make it fun for her. If the champion defeats Tarah through attacks, they explain they've never fought a more determined opponent; if they defeat Tarah through tease, they stop when Tarah starts to "feel weird," and they reassure her they won't go further than she's ready for; if they surrender, they carefully time falling to the ground, and Tarah rushes over to help; and if Tarah defeats them, she is delighted, and the Champion is left in shock, but laughing. In all cases, the Champion suggests they princess carry Tarah back to her home. After a short discussion of what it means to "princess carry," the Champion carries Tarah back to just outside the Marefolk Village, before setting her down outside the gates. The two walk in, hand in hand.
The Champion's all for getting to know Tarah better, but would rather not do it by fighting. They just need to choose how to convince Tarah that's the case. The Champion's options are:
| Option | Requirement | Tooltip | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ask | - | Maybe just ask if she doesn't want to fight? | Tarah immediately & happily agrees. |
| Flash Tits | Has Breasts | Maybe if you showed her your tits she'd change her mind. | Tarah is transfixed & agrees to not fight. |
| Flash Dick | Has Cock | Maybe she'd rather see your cock than fight? | Tarah gasps at your half-hard dick, and suggests going home to do "other stuff." |
| Flash Her Tits | - | If she showed her tits you'd be done for. | The Champion is defeated at Tarah's giggling display of her own tits. |
| Animals | - | Ask if she wants to go animal spotting instead. | Tarah and the Champion observe some of the local flora and fauna; Ranger Champions will tell her some of their names and common uses. Tired out, Tarah asks to go home. |
| Rock Paper Scissors | - | Ask if she wants to play rock paper scissors for it instead! |
After explaining the game, the Champion can choose
|
| Challenge Duel | Silly Mode |
You aren't feeling silly enough for a duel at 10 paces. Pistols at dawn. Her reign of terror is at an end. |
Not applicable. The Champion and Terror-AHHHH agree to a shoot out. The progression button changes rapidly, cycling rapidly through "Draw," "Three," "Two," "One," and "AHHHH!" If the Champion doesn't hit the button before it gets to "AHHHH!" Tarah shoots the 10-gallon hat off their head. The Champion and Terror-AHHH agree to a shoot out. The progression button changes rapidly, cycling rapidly through "Draw," "Three," "Two," "One," and "AHHHH!" If the Champion hits the button before it gets to "AHHHH!", they shoot Tarah's 10-gallon hat off her head. |
Help
The Champion says they don't know who that hero could be, but offers to help Tarah find someone "cool" to bring back home so Kavi can stop worrying. Tarah excitedly accepts the Champion's help, and they set out searching Harvest Valley for one of the Marefolk Village's huntresses, who might also be out looking for a mate.
After some time, the Champion finds a bay mare setting a trap in a set of bushes, and--after Tarah steps on a branch--gestures that she should introduce herself to the huntress. The bay mare, it turns out, knows Kavi well because the alchemist gives her medicine for her headaches, and she's happy to see if she and Tarah are compatible.
The Champion can:
| Option | Tooltip | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Leave | You doubt they'd mind, but it's rude to peek and all that. | The champion quietly leaves. |
| Stay |
Stay and watch. Stay and watch. Just to make sure Tarah's ok, of course. |
The champion, hiding, watches as the older shaman introduces Tarah to sex, then literally sweeps her off her feet to take her home. |
Returning to Kavi
Tarah rushes ahead to her mom's and when the Champion arrives, they find Kavi hugging and exclaiming over her daughter. Tarah says she was fine, and declares that now she and the Champion are married! Delighted by this turn of events, Kavi hugs the Champion and makes herself scarce. Tarah takes the Champion upstairs to her room, excitedly showing them her different belongings before sitting on the bed. When the Champion sits down with her, they have a couple of options:
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Kiss & Cuddle | Her actual first time can wait. Give the bubbly marefolk a nice relaxing time. |
| Sex | Calm her nerves and help her feel really good. |
Rather than rush into her first time, the Champion gently guides Tarah through her first kisses, before cuddling and falling asleep for a brief nap. When they wake up, they return to giggling kisses with Tarah before returning to their adventures.
The Champion is given access to Tarah's sex menu. For her first time, only Missionary and Cowgirl are available.
