Notes

• All vikings are accompanied by a random piece of furniture with its own item drops.
• If on the fill Walford's bucket with balls quest, one of the following messages will appear after defeating a monster in this zone:

You find a bin of colorful plastic balls, labelled "BALLAR $.99". You look around to make sure no one's looking, and drop a couple in your bucket. (Walford's bucket filled by 1%)

There's a bin of large brightly-colored balls here, labelled "GYCKLAREÄGG $11.99" -- a bit steep, but you're stealing them anyway. Into the bucket they go! (Walford's bucket filled by 1%)

If additional balls are triggered:

(Walford's bucket filled by an additional 1%)

• If on the fill Walford's bucket with milk quest, one of the following messages will appear after defeating a monster in this zone:

There's a bin of little half-pint milk cartons here. The sign says "MJÖLK $.99", because of course it does. You pour one into your bucket while nobody's watching. (Walford's bucket filled by 1%)

You find a bin full of little vials of what appears to be milk. The sign says "TJURSÄDEVÄTSKA $8.99", which is meaningless to you, but the picture on the vials looks like a cow, and that's good enough for you to empty a couple into your bucket. (Walford's bucket filled by 1%)

• If on the fill Walford's bucket with moon beams quest, one of the following messages will appear after defeating a monster in this zone:

A bin here holds a bunch of little gray boxes labelled "MÅNEBRAKSKIT". When you open one, moonlight comes out! So you empty a few more into your bucket. (Walford's bucket filled by 1%)

Moonlight is streaming down through a skylight in the roof, and into a bin labelled "MÅNSKEN $7.99". You... hold your bucket up to catch some? (Walford's bucket filled by 1%)

References

• One big reference to IKEA, Sweden's gift to the world. Wares at IKEA all have names that for a non-Scandinavian might sound somewhat eldritch.
• All the names for wares in the quest messages are Swedish, but not always exactly proper or logical Swedish:
  • BALLAR does actually mean "balls", but is a slang term and only ever means balls in the testicle sense of "having balls". (The more proper word to use would be BOLLAR.)
  • GYCKLAREÄGG means "jester egg".
  • MJÖLK does indeed just mean "milk".
  • TJURSÄDEVÄTSKA, on the other hand, means "bull semen". Maybe not quite the kind of milk you were looking for. (And should be TJURSÄDESVÄTSKA to be correct.)
  • MÅNE means "moon", and BRAKSKIT is a slang term for an extraordinarily loud fart. Make of that what you will. (For it to be grammatically correct, it would be MÅNBRAKSKIT, not that that would make a lot more sense.)
  • MÅNSKEN simply means "moonlight".
