Plague Prevention Quest - Completed 1/16/22

(view spoiler)[
Queen Skye has been very happy to see an increase in the number of heroes in her realm who are helping manage the monsters who were starting to get out of control. She’s realised that the increased movement through the country has resulted in more people catching the plague and becoming unwell. She’d like your help to stop the spread.

Her team of advisors have developed a simple plan to follow to do this. There are 4 steps:
Mask Up - cover your mouth and nose
Keep your distance - 6 ft ideally (length of a lance if in doubt).
Wash your hands - in any water source you can find in the realm.
Help develop and give the vaccine

Mine are done.

I'll get mine in now.

Thanks to both of you for all your hard work on this challenge!

Hi Zuzana! Doing well. Concentrating on quests right now, particularly Two Empty Halves of Coconuts so I can acquire a horse. Also am almost finished with the last part of Academy II. Plus working on leveling up my staff and sword. Basically, having a great time!

Also started Queen Skye's Winter Holidays quest and several of the others you suggested.
