Quest approval
When you want to run a quest you'll need to post the quest on the #dm-quest-approval in the format below. Typically a loremaster will give an approval. Ideally your quest will last one session where the NPCs will be able to go "home" at the end of the session. Multiple session quests will be a quest chain.

After quest logging
When the quest completes you'll need to do a quick write up explaining the the results. This typically should be a paragraph or two describing the results. You can add as much or as little as you'd like in writing this. The results will also list whatever rewards were handed to the players whether it be gold or money.
You'll post the quest debrief to the channel #dm-post-game-log. We don't require any approval on this, it's purely for tracking. We'll Copy and past a brief entry into the quests section of kanka. For quests that deal with the server story arch, we'll want to have a bigger entry description since those quests will most likely be referenced in other quests and the server canon.
Example:
*Quest Debrief*
They played a game of riddles with a bridge troll and paid the troll off with a LARGE amount of money. It was highway robbery! He got 50 gold out of them! Arthas and zoomy lost their names to an arch fey. Miz was reincarnated as a Githyanki! She now is 4 feet tall and has psychic powers!
*Rewards*
1. Zoomy GP 400, XP 1345
2. Arthas GP 400, XP 1345
