Laboring for Troubadours, Only to Receive a Terrible Song
In Želejov, two indolent troubadours dream of Bohemian musical domination. Lacking funds, instruments, and direction, Henry steps in. He steals a lute (damaging his reputation), procures new strings from sheep intestines (after a perilous rescue of a drunken hunter – see below!), and even hauls sacks to settle their debts. Their reward for Henry's efforts? A soul-crushingly boring song about his mundane tasks. The locals cringe, Henry facepalms, and the player laughs.

Rescuing an Alcoholic Hunter... and Delivering Him Straight to the Tavern
The aforementioned strings require crafting by the inebriated hunter, Vojtěch, who's found clinging to a tree after a wolf encounter. The intended quest involves rescuing him, his horse, and helping him sober up. However, delivering him directly to the tavern offers a different outcome. Carrying the disgruntled Vojtěch through the wilderness results in a less-than-grateful reception, and a surprisingly memorable follow-up encounter.

Confronting the Polovtsians, Only to Philosophize with a Dog
Seeking vengeance against the Polovtsians, responsible for Henry's family's tragedy, leads to an unexpected turn. Instead of battle, Henry finds himself socializing, matchmaking, and singing with the very people he sought to punish. The climax? A philosophical debate with a talking dog that culminates in a daring (and hilarious) lake swim.

Going Rogue as a Thief and Paying the Price
A successful burglary spree ends abruptly with a botched heist. The consequences? A swift arrest, narrowly avoided through quick thinking, but not before the player learns the importance of removing incriminating evidence (flashy accessories and the lingering smell of crime).

Selling a Stolen Horse and Meeting Gypsies
Stealing a horse and attempting to sell it to the gypsy horse trader, Mikolaj, leads to unforeseen complications. Mikolaj's leisurely morning routine, including a lengthy porridge breakfast, delays the transaction, and the stolen horse's escape adds to the comedic chaos.
