Head southeast from the Hernand Inn to the northern end of Muckroot Ranch. You'll see two people outside a house. Laying on the ground is Arlan, who just fell off the roof. Talk to Arlan and Lauren. They argue a bit before Lauren explains that Arlan always puts on a performance when there's actual work to be done. Kliff steps in and takes the job.

Grab the Broom leaning against the front door, equip it, then use the crates on the right side of the house to get up to the roof. Make your way to the top of the chimney, hold L1 to aim, and press R1 to clean it out.

Arlan and Lauren reward you with Hernandian Attire, Lentils, Apples, and a Standard Inventory Expansion Tool. There's also a Palmar Pill on top of one of the crates behind the house to pick up before you leave.

Don't MissThe Hernandian Attire from this quest is required to pass the guards at Hernand Castle in the Mystical Key quest. Keep it in your inventory and equip it before you approach the gate.
