Is this Halloween different from the rest?
October 31, 29483 - Miss Lucetta Phoenix [Atlantean]
IRRK Freelance - Recently an outpost outside Tir was attacked by a strange formation of pumpkinheads. Oddly enough, they appeared much more organised than usual.
These creatures often arrive in the wilderness each year around the time of Halloween. Their bizarre pumpkin-shaped heads, glowing eyes and scythes were once feared, but during the last few years they have been nothing more than a spectacle and form of entertainment for those brave enough to venture out into the dark fog and challenge these creatures. Nobody knows exactly who or what created them, or what their purpose is, but this unfortunate outpost may have experienced them at their deadliest yet.
The reports were flooding in about a large group of pumpkinheads and one other unknown creature near the outpost south west from Tir. I arrived at the scene to discover what appeared to be a woman, dressed in black with a skull mask shrouding her face. It almost seemed like she was coordinating the attack, as after the waves of pumpkinheads were defeated, it became apparent she was using mind control of some sort. Chaos ensued as the defenders began to attack each other, and unfortunately for me I was sent to reclaim as a result.
I managed to gather some information on what happened after that, and it appears some time later the woman disappeared, presumably gridding out, and hasn't been seen since.
Could this be the pumpkinheads leader or creator, or did she find a way to control them like she did to the minds of the defenders? This, among many questions relating to these bizarre creatures remains unanswered. Maybe one day I'll find out.
