Then you might want to take a tour of the castle(i recommend visiting the kitchen; they have some lovely paintings there. You might also want to look at the view from the tower), talk to people in the village again, think about what they said. Hope that helps!

> That's a really lengthy hint. Unfortunately for me (because I've been quite stupid lately), it didn't help too much. I've gotten the coins in the moat, by the bakery, from helping with the bar, and with that guy's drink. It probably doesn't help when I haven't done anything with apples or a pie. And I have no clue how to do that either! I found out about those people in the tower and visited them and have no clue of what to do. Can someone help me?

OK, you've seen the Guils, now talk to the bartender again, then consider what he said. You also want to see the blacksmith. Your next move should be to admire the pretty paintings in the castle's banquet room. You also want to go up to the battlements. Note that the guard doesn't want you to tie the rope to anything, so therefore it is exactly what you must do. (Don't let him catch you, though.) You can get to the kitchen from there. I don't want to give too much away; once you try to take the painting, you'll know why you need to go into the kitchen. Hope that's better than my last hint(sorry about that, by the way)!
