Dinodas Boffin has ruined his sister Angelica's house-warming party (with your assistance), but now his mother Prisca demands that you help him set things right.
'You should check first with my cousin Bingo. He's something of an adventurer, it turns out, and might have seen where everyone went. I think he went back to Tighfield.'1/1

'Hullo, hullo, Player! You're looking for cousin Prisca's children? Well, I've seen one! Young Fosco told me the party was delayed, and he intended to spy an Elf-boat or two on one of the western rivers. That's the direction you want to look.
'I'll catch up with you after I'm done with my shopping. I'm in the market for some rope, you see. Can never have enough rope, when you're adventuring! I will see you later, friend!'1/1

'I went in search of Elf-boats, Player... but I found a hobbit-boat instead! It seems the Yonder-hobbits aren't as afraid of boating as the folk back home. Are these... are these my people?
'I bumped into my sister Marigold a short ways back, but she didn't come here with me. She said she was going to investigate the ruins to the north of here. That's very much like our Marigold, if you don't know. She's always looking for adventure. If you find goblins you'll likely find my sister!
'I have a few more questions for this fellow about his boat, but once I've asked them I'll come back for Angelica's party. Worry not! I won't be long.'1/1
'No sign of Marigold yet? I'm sure she's fine: she's a chip off the old block, as they say! Of all my first-removed cousins, she seems most able to take care of herself. Prisca would say I have been a bad influence, but I say that's the very best kind!
'I think I might have found a clue to the location of another of the Boffin children, Player. There is apparently a dancing competition underway at Long Cleeve. If that does not sound like music to Esmeralda's ears, I know of nothing else that would!
'To Long Cleeve, my good ${RACE}!'1/1

'Are you here to join in the dancing competition, Player? When I arrived, I discovered to my dismay that there was nothing going on! There was nary a toe-tap, no sign of an arm-flourish, neither a twirl nor a whirl! So I started my own.
'I will return to Nobottle, of course. But not until you participate in the dance, Player!'1/1

'Good job, Player! I am impressed!
'Anyway, you're looking for Marigold? She came this way and I asked if she wanted to join my dancing competition, but she declined. Apparently she was pursuing a band of goblins, although with my sister it can sometimes be hard to tell if what she says is true or if she's imagining some mad adventure. Either way, she ran off to the north, so you can look for her in that direction.
'I will return to Nobottle in a few moments. Let me just get a few more dance-steps in!'1/1

'It won't matter, in the long run: the rest of my boys have already gone south-east, and they'll make the rules for a NEW sport! They're gonna repay those hobbits for the invention of Golfimbul-clubbing, you wait and see! This new sport will use the same clubs and can be played on the same fields... but the heads that roll won't belong to goblins! Ha ha ha!'1/1

'Ah, hello there, Player. I just had the most lovely and peaceful dream. There was a delicious smell wafting through Yondershire from the east. Actually, I can still smell it! What a convincing dream, to have left its imprint in this fashion!
'Now that I am rested, I will go see if Angelica's party is ready to begin. You're looking for Griffo? Perhaps you should follow the delicious smell of food... he probably would do so, if his nostrils detected it!'1/1

Well, then I just had to try some of this fresh-baked bread, and there was a basket of apples just waiting to be sampled....
'I suppose Angelica's party is nearly ready to begin? Then I will return to Nobottle, and perhaps when I get there I shall fill up my corners. My sister will surely have set out the snacks by then!'1/1
