Laboring for Troubadours, Only to Receive a Terrible Song
In Želejov, two indolent troubadours dream of Bohemian musical domination, lacking funds, instruments, and artistic direction. Henry, ever the helpful protagonist, embarks on a series of increasingly ludicrous tasks to aid them. This involves lute theft (risking arrest), procuring sheep gut strings, and even hauling sacks for debt-dodging bards. Their final "epic" song? A monotonous ballad about Henry's mundane chores. The locals cringe, Henry facepalms, and the player laughs.

Rescuing an Alcoholic Hunter... and Delivering Him Straight to the Tavern
The troubadours' strings require crafting by the inebriated hunter, Vojtěch, who's found injured after a wolf encounter. The intended quest involves rescuing him, his horse, and helping him sober up. However, delivering him directly to the tavern yields a far more entertaining outcome. Vojtěch's displeasure and subsequent grumpy compensation offer ("the best view behind my shack") are unforgettable.

Confronting the Polovtsians, Only to Philosophize with a Dog
The Polovtsians, responsible for Henry's family's tragedy, are encountered in a tavern. Instead of a violent confrontation, a bizarre sequence of socializing, matchmaking, and drunken singing ensues. A philosophical dog then intervenes, challenging Henry to a lake swim ("Don't Drown!"). The sheer absurdity is hilarious.

Going Rogue as a Thief and Paying the Price
A successful burglary spree ends with a botched heist. The consequences? Arrest is narrowly avoided, not due to skill, but because of overlooked evidence (flashy accessories and lingering odors). The game's attention to detail is remarkable.

Selling a Stolen Horse and Meeting Gypsies
Stealing a horse and attempting to sell it to the gypsy horse trader, Mikolaj, leads to a comical series of mishaps. Mikolaj's leisurely morning routine (porridge, spoon-licking, belly-scratching) delays the transaction, and the horse's escape adds to the hilarity.
