Head to the caves/mine and smash epic beasts.

I would follow a pre-scripted path depending on the day of the week and season, and refuse to accept more than two gifts. I would be a romance option, but the annoying kind that stays inside most of the time so it's hard to build rapport.

For extra credit, I would post ads inexplicably asking for someone to bring me a topaz to rub on my sore knees.

Definitely hide so that they can't complete their quest of meeting all the people.

Me sell hats, okey pokey?
