Guar Gone

As you approach, she says to herself.

"Where has that confounded guar gotten to now?"

Speak to her to start the quest.

"Puddles! Come to mama, you stupid, stupid creature!"

Did you lose something?

"Not something, someone! My darling little Puddles. She wandered off. She does that when she gets bored or I'm not paying attention.
Puddles usually finds her way home, but we just moved here. If she's gotten lost, I'll never forgive myself!"

I can try to find Puddles.

"Really! That's so kind. Puddles loves day-old fish. You can probably get some at the docks. I hear Grubdosh catches more than he can sell. And he has a soft spot for adorable creatures.
And take it from me. Nothing is more adorable than my Puddles!"

I'll get a fish and bring Puddles back to you.

If you talk to her again:

"You're such a good person! I know that Puddles will be home in no time now that you're out there looking for her.
I could see it in her eyes when we arrived. Puddles really wanted to go out and explore this new city. She's very curious, you know."

What else should I know about Puddles?

"Puddles loves new places. She enjoys a good prowl and likes to nip at toes and fingers to establish her position with the locals.
But for all her bluster, no matter how hard her outer shell appears, my little Puddles is a runny yolk on the inside."

So Puddles is a dog? A cat, maybe?

"Puddles isn't some common pet! Please don't insult her so.
My Puddles is the smartest, most lovable, most brave creature I have ever known—Puddles is a mighty bantam guar! When you find her, please bring her back to me."

If you got the fish to bait Puddles, and speak to her again before finding Puddles:

"Have you found Puddles yet? She enjoys chasing sheep, so you might look for her near livestock."

When you return with Puddles:

"You found my Puddles!"

Puddles followed me back here, just like you said she would.

"Oh, Puddles, what kind of trouble did you get yourself into?
Thank you so much for bringing my adorable Puddles home, friend. Here's a small reward. I know it's not much, but I want you to have it."

Short-Tail then kneels down to Puddles and says:

Short-Tail: "Puddles, you make me worry so. You can be such a bad guar sometimes."

Puddles will start running off toward the west and Short-Tail will run after the guar, yelling:

Short-Tail: "Puddles, no! Bad Puddles! Come back here, you stupid, stupid creature!"
