Less than two weeks had passed since the team returned from their epic journey to the Slayer Tower, and Bill hadn't been seen since they returned. "Do you know where Bill has been?" asked Bailey as he took a hit of his new Elvarg FireVape™. "I saw him head into the Quest Library when you guys got back" said Alex from under the couch. "What are you doing down there?" asked Ryan. "I'm just doing some studying, I don't want to get in trouble at school again. My teacher is a Dragon, and she lit my ass up the last time I failed a task" replied Alex. Just as Alex opened his mouth to start another sentence, the door to the Quest Library burst open as a frantic Bill ran out of the room. "I FINISHED THEM!" exclaimed Bill. It looked like he had been working for days straight without sleep, and he was wearing a bizarre outfit that consisted of both a shirt and shorts that were clearly too small for him. He had entirely lost his mind at this point. "Finished what?" questioned Alex. "Dragon Crystal & Merlin's Slayer!!!" replied Bill as he fell to the floor with a loud thud. After absorbing what just happened, Bailey poked the now unconscious Bill with an Air Staff. "Welp, he is out cold" observed Bailey as he picked up the two scrolls Bill was carrying. "Wow, these actually look finished. Guess we should deliver them to the players!" said Bailey.
Hello players! We are extremely happy to launch an update this month ahead of our normal schedule. You've probably seen that many of our previous updates contained a multitude of enhancements to our tools, and that we have hinted at a lot of content moving through our development pipeline. We've been working on these two quests, especially Dragon Slayer, for quite some time now and are extremely excited to finally launch them. The enhancements made to our system and tools in order to make these quests possible will allow us to develop future quests even faster, and we hope that you enjoy them!
