This Quest is Bullshit - Chapter 144

Chapter 144 - Does Anyone Speak Burendian?

A cloud of dust billowed through the air as Eve first step foot down the leftward passage, the prevalence of the stuff implying this particular suite had contained somehow more decaying matter than others, either in terms of wooden furniture or a true excess of fabric and cushions. Knowing royalty...

This Quest is Bullshit - Chapter 142

(Bumping this up early to make up for the late chapter the other week.  See you tuesday!)

Chapter 142 - Something to Kill

Eve unstrapped her club from her back, stepping in front of her squishy companions in case anything should come screaming down the hallway for them. She doubted any sentry constructs of the kind she’d seen ...

Chapter 141 - Weird Notifications

Preston sensed the urgency in her voice, immediately dropping to his knees next to her. “What’s going on?”

Wes scowled. “Did you get a milestone?”

“No… no I…” Eve shook her head. “They’re not from my class.” She looked down at the white lines running along the floor bene...

Chapter 140 - The Biggest of the Really Big Doors

“Are you sure it’s hers?” Preston called down as Eve examined the unnatural root two levels below him.

“It’s hard to say for certain,” she answered. “Alex’s spear definitely isn’t the only enchanted item with a root-summoning power, and it’s also entirely ...

This Quest is Bullshit - Chapter 139

(Bumping this up early to make up for the late chapter the other week. See you tuesday!)

Chapter 139 - Down

The passage opened up into a vast vertical cylinder, the path on which the party walked twisting to the right to follow the wall of the space. Through the mist that permeated even this place, Eve could just barely make out wher...

Chapter 138 - You’ve Seen One Ancient Ruined City, You’ve Seen Them All

Eve made it through ten synchronized jumps of the misthoppers, ten sudden lurches forward followed by slow slides to a halt, before she decided she’d rather walk. After twelve, Art made a similar decision, opting instead to join Preston on Reginald’s back.

Chapter 137 - Seriously, What’s With the Eyepatch Thing?

Eve leapt back into the pond without hesitation, even dropping a low-mana Jet to hasten her way out of the cave. She resurfaced just in time to watch Drathis appear in the mist.

He didn’t walk into vision, nor did he ride on the back of some beast.

Chapter 136 - These Fields Really Aren’t as Dead as the Name Would Seem to Imply

The journey west went simply enough. Eve alternated between running along the ground and Jetting through the air depending on the terrain, while the others—sans Lumy who floated along on her own—rode on Reginald’s back.

In the ai...

Chapter 135 - Gods Damnit, We Have to Go to the Dead Fields Again

Eve let out a quiet groan as she trawled through the Dragonwrought’s vault for the thousandth time. She knew, of course, there would be nothing new to find there. Her team were the only ones still adventuring and finding loot, after all, but still she searched.

Chapter 134 - We Return to Your Regularly Scheduled Silliness

The passing of months eased the sting of Alex’s betrayal.

The trek back from Avendreth Manor took twice as long as their journey there, mostly owing to the regular stops to while away afternoons taking turns riding Reginald as he flew through the air on his new phantom w...

A Quick Announcement

Hey all,

I'm sorry chapter releases have been a bit spotty lately. To put it shortly, my wrist is fucked up. I've been doing everything I can to write through it for the last few weeks, but it's only gotten worse. At the advice of my doctor, I'm taking a hiatus from writing until it's recovered.  It should hopefully only be a week or ...

This Quest is Bullshit Re-name Poll

Hey everyone,

As I look towards publishing book 1, I've run into a bit of a dilemma: Amazon (and most platforms) prohibit profanity in all advertisements.  This includes obscured profanity like "bullsh*t"

As such, the amazon listing for This Quest is Bullshit will have to be under a different title.  Here are a few options ...
