This memory is available some time after completing [[The Baker's Plaint]]. Enough activity must transpire in-game to reset the positions of Tarben and Tekla, the latter of whom is the subject of Wilf's robbery.

			While the game instructs the player to inquire with the Saxon residents of Ravensthorpe on the identity of Guthban, only Rowan and Octavian have anything to say besides Tarben himself; [[Arth]] and [[Wallace]] in particular—who also arrive in Ravensthorpe at the same point in [[A New Home\|Ravensthorpe's renovations]] as Tarben—have nothing to say outside of their usual menu dialogues.

	This memory's dialogue breaks if Wilf's parcel was already retrieved from the Glen Ford Camp, skipping the entire section for infiltrating the camp. Tarben's AI may also not cooperate, leading him to stand in place outside Wilf's house and not follow the player back to Ravensthorpe. Reloading the game after delivering Wilf's parcel may fix this, however, which will at least allow the memory to complete.

	After this memory, players can reset the area around Tarben's bakery with enough in-game time or distance, then spend time fishing with him at the docks in pursuit of a romance. This does not count as a full memory, however, rather it is more akin to a mini-game like the archery contest with [[Petra]]. As it requires the fishing line, it will not be available until the tool is obtained by first renovating Ravensthorpe's [[Fishing Hut]].
