Other Information
Version Added 0.7.11
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.

Kavi, Saving Tarah Quest Encounter

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.

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.

At the end of each scene, the Champion offers to carry Tarah back to the Marefolk Village. After a short discussion of what it means to "princess carry," the Champion does so, setting their new mate down just outside the village gates. The two walk in together, hand in hand.

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.

Results

The Champion has become Tarah's cool, hero mate! This unlocks Tarah's Talk, Sex and Cuddle menus in her home on Kavi's tile in the Marefolk Village.
