Gilbert
You will meet the wandering musician Gilbert about half-way through Spring of year 1. Visit the Harvest Goddess Spring after you have a vision of him in your dreams. The bard will give you a fishing pole, and he'll also teach you how to dig water paths so you can cross over water. After that, you won't meet with Gilbert again until you have restored the Summer season. He'll be an important part of restoring Fall, so you'll find him visiting the goddess' pond during the evening hours.
Gilbert has an usual way of rhyming all of his words. He always seems to be deeply thinking of things, letting his mind float away on the melodies that he creates by using his lute. He doesn't have a permanent home, so he moves from place to place as he searches for an ideal location. As you raise your friendship with him, maybe you can convince him to settle down and stop his wandering ways.
Birthday:
- Spring 21
Schedule:
- Mondays and Thursdays at the Harvest Goddess Spring, 8:00 pm to 2:00 am
- Also wanders the valley area on Tuesdays and Wednesdays night
