    On the 31st Oct I will be wandering the lands looking for pumpkins on house steps.

    One of the houses with a pumpkin will be selected to have a prize left next to it.

    Pumpkins are 11gp from NPC farmers. Make Brittania Halloweeny Again!

    (Don't get overly excited, it wont be of huge value, but I promise it will be worth substantially more than the 11gp pumpkin!)

    Thank you, I was wondering to get one of those. My front step is getting pretty festive with all the candies and the Halloween bag.

    I kept forgetting to put out my pumpkins! Thank you for doing this even though I didn't participate.

    Late on Halloween I set out on my pumpkin hunt. I knew it would be a long journey so Alan fetched his long neglected in the stable horse -

    01.jpg

    A short distance South of Trinsic I encountered my first spooky house! -

    02 Trinsic.jpg

    And it wasn't long before the first spotting of pumpkins -

    03 Trinsic.jpg

    A kind householder to the East must've heard of my tiring quest, he left me an ample serving of pumpkin soup -

    04 Trinsic.jpg

    I rode for quite a while before my next encounter, in the swamp South of Destard -

    06 Destard Swamp.jpg

    On the approach to Skara Brae I discovered a crime! Somebody had clearly stolen this unlucky fellow's pumpkins -

    07 Skara.jpg

    Had a nice passing chat with a friendly wisp in his well tended garden -

    08 Wispfelt.jpg

    It had been a long ride, so I used the fruits of the forest to craft a basic shelter for some rest -

    05 Shelter.jpg

    Onward! Unfortunately the Liches do not appear to celebrate Halloween, and I wasn't going to press the issue -

    09 Liches.jpg

    Something terrible had happened on the journey to Yew, time to make haste -

    10 Yew.jpg

    Someone near Yew had got the wrong memo -

    11 Yew.jpg

    Far North of Yew another pumpkin house! -

    12 North Yew.jpg

    And another -

    13 North Yew.jpg

    But this guy really lost his head over the intrusion on his space -

    14 North yew.jpg

    Twin pumpkins, aww -

    15 North Yew.jpg

    Somebody has a very sweet tooth -

    16 Big Candy Fan.jpg

    North of the Yew Crypts I think I discovered the candy smuggler's hideout -

    17 North of Crypts.jpg

    By Justice Lake there was a spooky keep -

    18 Justice.jpg

    And while in the area it seemed fitting to give brief thought to those who are now absent from events -

    19 Cemetary.jpg

    After exploring the rest of the Northern Territories I returned magically to Trinsic, where I grabbed a quick pic of the neighbour -

    20 Back to Trinsic.jpg

    Another sweet toothed player in Trinsic swamp -

    21 Trin Swamp.jpg

    Bring me the strength to continue my journey -

    I know they go up earlier every year but this is too much! -

    23 North Trin.jpg

    What outing is complete without a visit to the (Brit) beach? -

    24 Britain Beach.jpg

    A spooky villa on the shore of Lord Blackthorne's lake -

    25 Blackthorne.jpg

    On to the Bloody Plains and soon spot a well lit target -

    26 Bloody plains.jpg

    Unfortunately when I tried to traverse the desert I became the target -

    27 Desert.jpg

    I have no idea what he is doing in Brittania already -

    28 Santa.jpg

    A nice eye catching rare gem / crime against humanity haunting the High Steppes -

    29 High Steppes.jpg

    A feast of pumpkins on the remote North coast -

    30 North Coast Winner.jpg

    Another poor fellow who must've fallen victim to the dastardly pumpkin thief -

    31 Stolen Pumpkin.jpg

    More twins were discovered a little North of Cove -

    32 North of Cove.jpg

    Nice spot to carve your pumpkin outside Cove -

    33 North of Cove.jpg

    And a good showing from the Drunken Stag at Cove Moongate -

    34 Cove Moongate.jpg

    At a remote house East of Cove they are growing some sort of mutant pumpkin -

    35 East Cove Mutant Pumpkin.jpg

    Stopped by Radio Brittania hoping to grab a bumper sticker for my horse but there was nobody home -

    36 Radio Brittania.jpg

    The folk North of Minoc are odd -

    37 North Minoc.jpg

    And I don't know what the hell I discovered East of the town -

    38 East Minoc Disaster.jpg

    To the East of Vesper, and a spooky castle with one of those new fangled cannon things. They will never catch on -

    39 East of Vesper.jpg

    The grumpy ettin of Windemere Woods didn't want me to draw a pic of his log cabin but I tried my best -

    40 Windemere Woods.jpg

    And to the islands! Moonglow was bereft of spookyness, but I may have figured out why -

    41 Moonglow.jpg

    Nujelm was also fruitless! -

    42 Nujelm.jpg

    And Maginicia just wasn't feeling the magic of Halloween -

    43 Magincia.jpg


    At that I was many hours in, and it was very late so I'm afraid I rode for home. My apologies if I missed your house!

    Great job everyone, thank you Jill for making the holiday deco that much more fun. I love that you went by my house. You might be my first visitor. I think the patio house with the candies organized by color into rainbow columns deserves an honorable mention.
