One Small Favour (#72)
Also called?	OSF
Members only?	Yes
Release date	28 February 2005 (Update)
Quest series	Karamja
Official difficulty	Experienced
Developer	Tytn H

Details

Start point	Go to Shilo Village and talk to Yanni Salika.
Official difficulty	Experienced
Description	If you're fresh to Shilo Village after solving the mystery (or even if you did it some time ago), you may like to check out Yanni Salika's antiques shop. He's a busy chap revamping antique items, checking out new stock from potential adventurers and maybe he'll have a small1 favour to ask of you? Probably nothing particularly large, Yanni isn't a demanding2 person, should hardly take you any time3 at all really, something to do when you have a spare moment. That's assuming there aren't any complications. 1: - Perception of the word "small" may be open to interpretation. 2: - In a recent vote, Yanni Salika was only voted the second most demanding person in Shilo Village. 3: - As everyone knows, time is relative.
