Spring: Quest to Save Easter!
Duration: 4/1/2018 - 5/31/2018

Progress: 6 out of 6+

Quest to Save Easter!

Novel Kingdom is a small kingdom on the edge of Lake Lexicon. It is ruled by the benevolent Queen Skye.

Novel Kingdom is in holiday peril again! The Easter Bunny has been kidnapped by the local tribe of Omnibus Trolls.

HELP SAVE EASTER!

Each section of quests should be completed in order by parts. (i.e. Part 1 must be completed before Part 2 is started.) You have been given a Tote of Infinite Books that can store any book read after April 1st, 2018 for use in the quest at a later point. May 31st, 2018 is the last day to turn in progress towards the quest, after that Queen Skye will call in the knights to take drastic measures.

Levels
Finish Part 1: You have made a valiant effort but the knights have a lot of work ahead of them.
Finish Part 2: You've made a dent in the trolls evil plans but still are facing an Easter without chocolate eggs.
Finish Part 3: You almost rescued the Easter Bunny and with a bit more practice and speed reading could become a knight someday.
Rescue the Easter Bunny! You have rescued the Easter Bunny and saved Easter. The dentists of the realm thank you.

Save Easter Quests - Part 1 Discover the threat
You start hearing whispers of something terribly wrong while walking around town one morning. You hop over to the tavern to hear about the issue. The bartender wipes a tear from the corner of his eye and informs you that the Easter Bunny is missing! Find out all the information you can.

Pump the Bartender for Information
You think the bartender knows more than he has said. You slide two coins across the counter. They disappear quickly and the bartender tells you about a local troll that has been terrorizing local villages in the region.
Read a book where someone drinks a lot or is a bartender and read a book where someone pays for something in gold or the book has a gold cover to pay the bartender for information.

Talk to the Local Children
The local children like to play just outside the gate and might have seen something. You don't want to upset them with the possible demise of their beloved spring hero so you decide to bribe them with a small toy to answer your questions.
Spell out the word TOY using spell-it-out rules to hear what the children saw.

Talk to the Guard at the Gate
Guarding the gate is a tough job, it's always opening and closing the gate and checking goods and warding off bandits. This day was particularly interesting for the guard since he noticed something off in the distance.
Read 2 books which feature restaurants or chefs to bring lunch to the guard and listen to him talk while you share the feast.
