Starting fresh
Victory!
The lead goose stares at the guild for a long moment. Then it honks once (very rudely) and the whole flock lifts off and heads south. The fair goes ahead and the miller gets a new hat.
One goose stays behind. It now lives at the guild hall and nobody remembers agreeing to that.
19,000 flaps in 33 hours by 86 adventurers. Everyone in the quest earns a Victory Guild Point.
Encore: The Goose in the Oven
The flock is gone and the fair is back on. Then the baker opens the big bread oven and finds a goose sitting in it. It is warm. It is comfortable. It is not leaving.
This goose is twice the size of the others and has clearly been in charge all along. It watched the whole flock leave and decided it would rather stay for the fair.
There is only one argument a goose this big will listen to. The whole guild flaps again. Bigger. Wider. Sillier.
The guild needs 7,000 more flaps before 2026-10-19 10:00 (Athens time). Same flaps and same box at the top of the thread. Millbrook is already saved so the Encore can only add to the win. Clear it and everyone in the quest earns another Guild Point.

150 more flaps, given the original image I expected to be fanning some fire to cook a goose but I'm just as happy to help scare it away.

Not all who wander are lost....except the Lieutenant, he is definitely lost. Send an NCO to find him before he gets hurt or breaks something.
Only one left and so many guild members here.... it's goose is cooked.

If the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember Cedric Diggory.
And I will flap 500 times and I will flap 500 more just to get the goose to go away and everyone to be just fine! La la lalla la la lalla la la lalla lalla lalla lalla'!
No I cannot make another 300 flaps but I'll sing along to anyone who does!

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.
I don't blame the goose for staying in the oven - I, too, am a fan of the warmz. But if the oven door was closed, how did it get in there in the first place?
And if it closed the door behind itself to hide....smart goose. {flaps harder}

That goose is HUUUUGE! Maybe if it thinks I'm a goose, too, it'll get lonely and come out to play. (continues flapping)

250 for the encore
I don’t have funny quips, but I do have a few more flaps left in me. Let’s bake this bird!
Encore Cleared!
The giant goose climbs out of the oven, gives the baker a long look and waddles off south after the flock. The bread is saved. The baker keeps one feather as a souvenir.
Everyone in the quest earns an extra Guild Point for the Encore. Every flap from now until 2026-10-19 10:00 (Athens time) is a bonus hit.
