The players who were lingering around till the very end, were forced to log-out after they witnessed Sir Gareth's death as they simply ran out of log-in time.
This meant that the last scene they saw before leaving the game, was 'TheBoss' and his allies facing-off against thousands of royal army troops, who seemed nervous and agitated after the death of their leader.
In their minds, they expected to log-into the game world tomorrow and find 'TheBoss' somewhere within StrongHaven City, bruised and tired from his fight against the NPC's, however, they were utterly wrong in this assumption.
The world was about to turn upside down the next time they logged in, as 'TheBoss' was aiming to achieve the impossible.
