The 4 quest steps

1. 1Demand the medal from Tony Bleurgh

   Dialogue[-47,44] · Tony Bleurgh

   With Betty Boom's passport completed, come to claim the Happy Camper Medal. A logistics problem prevents him from handing it over and he sends you away until next year. Insist: he agrees to an arrangement, as long as it stays discreet.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask about the Happy Camper Medal”
   2. “Roll on the ground howling - you really want that medal!”
   3. “Threaten to set the village ablaze if you don't get a medal”

   

2. 2Accept the investigation

   Someone is spreading terror on the island, preventing tourists from enjoying some activities and has even stolen the medals.

He already has a sample from the culprit: you must bring back those of the employees he suspects, along with empty vials.
