Thread: Farmer's Faire Fat Mayor Quest ****spoilers*****

Ok, this one was driving me batty until I finally figured it out, in part. It was at least enough I could finally finish this quest!


**********SPOILER ALERT**************

**********SPOILER ALERT**************

**********SPOILER ALERT**************




When the table disappears, go stand by the mayor, Will Whitfoot, and wait for him to eat something. After eating, he gives you a clue as to what he wants next. I've only figured out a few clues so far and I don't have his whole sentence each time, but here's the beginning of my list. When anyone else figures out more clues, add them in! I'll add them to this list as we get more replies.

What the mayor says: = what he wants you to bring

"...forgot to season this" = salt
"....cleanse palate" = wine
"Something tart will do nicely now" = wine
"This bread is too dry!" = butter
"So.. Thirsty..." = water
''Ack! Ss...spuh...spicy! Save me!'' = milk (Thanks to Rakulp)
"It's missing a little something" = salt (Thanks to Gilreth_EU)
"I need to replenish. = Water"
"This was too fine a dish to be eaten without an accompaniment." = Wine (Thanks to Grhysli)
"Nice and salty, but now my mouth is dry" = water (Thanks to Laire)
''It just needs a dab of something....'' = Butter
''Hmm. Not quite rich enough, if you ask me.'' = Butter (Thanks to Thronar)
"Dear me! It burns, it burns..." = milk (Thanks to Beatnik1)
"Bland, bland, bland." = salt (Thanks to Zandras)
''Ouch!! Too much pepper!'' = milk (Thanks again Laire)

The clues I jotted down that I had gotten wrong so far were:
"...crisp and clean" He did *not* want wine
"...adding to this dish would spoil its taste" He did *not* want water (or wine, thank you Laire!)
"...eating is hard work, I need to replenish" He did *not* want milk

''Ack! Ss...spuh...spicy! Save me!'' = milk

It's missing a little something = salt

All this eating is hard work -- exercise, if you ask me. I need to replenish. = Water

This was too fine a dish to be eaten without an accompaniment. = Wine

Nice and salty, but now my mouth is dry = water

"...adding to this dish would spoil its taste" He did *not* want water OR wine

Will Whitfoot says, ''It just needs a dab of something....''
Butter

Will Whitfoot says, ''Hmm. Not quite rich enough, if you ask me.''
Butter

Who did translate the word 'palate' into German, as 'Palette'? It is a 'Gaumen'! Whoever did this crime to the event, should be hanged upside down over the fang pit in Moria.


Greetings, Polymachos

"Dear me! It burns, it burns..." = milk

Unknown:
"That was a passable meal, I suppose."
"Lovely, lovely."

"Bland, bland, bland." salt

Will Whitfoot says, ''Ouch!! Too much pepper!'' = milk
Will Whitfoot says, ''Mmm! Whoever made this is worthy of great admiration.'' = NOT wine

Not salt either.

And it burns it burns is NOT water. Maybe Milk.

Bland Bland Bland = Salt

Possibly if he's happy, you don't need to relieve him.

It's milk, I edited my original post.

Couple more clues for those we are still stumped on...

''Mmm! Whoever made this is worthy of great admiration.'' - NOT wine
''That was a nice set of flavours.'' - NOT wine
''That was a passable meal, I suppose.'' - NOT wine
''Crisp flavour, hearty, and a clean aftertaste!'' - NOT wine

''Adding to this dish would spoil its taste.'' - Also NOT milk

This is what I managed to overhear and test out on my own:


1. WINE -- This was too fine a dish to be eaten without an accompaniment .
2. WINE -- Something tart will do nicely right now.
3. WINE -- I must cleanse my palette.
4. WATER -- Nice and salty, but now my mouth is dry.
5. WATER -- So Thirsty.
6. WATER -- Eating is hard work, I need to replenish.
7. SALT -- It's missing a little something.
8. SALT - Did Opal forget to season this?
9. SALT - Bland, bland, bland.
10. BUTTER -- It just needs a dab of something.
11. BUTTER -- Hmm, not quite rich enough if you ask me.
12. BUTTER -- The bread is too dry.
13. MILK -- Ouch!! Too much pepper!!
14. MILK -- Dear me! It burns, it burns!!
15. MILK -- Ack! Ss...spuh...spicy! Save me!
16. NONE? -- First Sweet, then salty, then Savoury, the flavors compliment each other well
17. NONE? -- Crisp flavor, hearty, and a clean aftertaste. (Not water or wine)
18. NONE? -- Mmm! Whoever made this is worthy of great admiration.
19. NONE? -- Lovely, Lovely.
20. NONE? -- That was a passable meal, I suppose.

Cool I am going to try these out. This quest was driving me crazy. makes so much more sense now. thanks guys

Thanks for this thread! Honestly I only completed that quest because I got lucky -- all of what he said for me was just common sense, but then the time before that he said all this weird stuff that I didn't have a clue about.

Funnest quest in the Farmer's Faire imo.

Did opal forget to season this? - salt

Did Opal foret to season this? Salt

There are a couple more of this type but this one I remembered because I tried everything.

He seems to not want anything to relieve himself because he doesn't need to be relieved. You basically wait for his next meal.

I came to the same conclusion on those. Makes sense. He's not asking for anything so don't take him anything. I found this quest a little tedious, but not hard, once I figured it out.

I can confirm this. If he is satisfied you need to do nothing and just wait for the next meal. You can skip a meal without penalty (perhaps an unintended message for the fat mayor!)

CSTM has their wonderful festival guide up with all of the request/response cues from Mayor Will.

It would also seem that all the extra food he's been eating has been helpful in bi-locating. Getting back to Michel Delving and then running to Bywater to eat must burn a lot of calories!

"eating is hard work, I need to replenish" - water

Nothing to add...want to keep this up top.

Noticed this last night. Mayor really has an evil twin impersonating him to get free food?
