As soon as the system offered a quest to save Nelly, a red line appeared, leading out of the tavern. Drake knew right away that it was linked to wherever Nelly had been taken.
"We're going to see if we can find any evidence of where she might have been taken," Drake told Mayor Ivan. "If we don't come back, we're following a lead. I promise we will find her or die trying." He then scanned the room one last time before heading out and following the link to Nelly.
He took only a few steps toward the door to take them out of the tavern when he received another system message.
{Hidden Quest Received: Find the chamber of knowledge/obtain the Master Spell book}
{Timed Quest: 5:00:00:00 remaining}
Drake watched the counter already beginning to count down. "Shit!" he hissed. "5 days, that's not enough," he whispered more to himself.
The only ones who heard it were his cohort. He was happy about that. He pulled the door open, letting his friends pass him before stepping out himself.
