7-6-12: Lost Woods

On Friday, July 6th, we will be having a quest for low level players (no higher than level 6) that will take place in the Lost Woods/Kokiri Village. The starting time will be 8:00pm EST. I'll get some lore writing done so that we'll have named NPCs and the like by then.

We're going to be skipping the travel time there; as such, the Kokiri Shop will open starting at 7:30pm EST for all players, even those not joining the quest. It will close Saturday, July 7th at 12:00pm EST (or later... should be right before I head home and have less time for ZURPG unfortunately).
