NotEvilAtAll 9945 Share Posted December 31, 2023 It was a crisp morning on The Grand Harvest of Year 161, Second Age, when a fresh crop of Pumpkins from Dúnfarthing went south on a Grand Adventure to spread Pumpkin-cheer and merriment across Aevos! First they rolled south to Balian, where the Pumpkins found many new converts. The clergy of Balian donned their new Pumpkin-hats, turning the coronation into a Pumpkin-coronation! From Balian, the Pumpkins rolled west to Haelun'or, making it through the tough gate security on the promise of Pumpkins only knowing how to spread PEACE. After all, when have you seen a violent Pumpkin? The Pumpkins claimed the throne of Haelun'or as their own, declaring the first ever Pumpkin Republic, drank a lot of alcohol, and were merry. From Haelun'or, the Pumpkins rolled over to the neighboring land of the Iron Horde, where they were met with a warm welcome. Many of the local orcs, goblins, and honoraries joined up with the Pumpkin crew, turning it from a small band of plump Pumpkins into a small army of Gourds. The Pumpkins rolled north to Veletz, filling its tavern with life and activity (and many Pumpkins). There were Pumpkins as far as the eyes could see, and for a brief moment, the entire city was Pumpkin, and all stood in awe at the Pumpkin-ification. The Pumpkins then moved on to the main castle of Veletz, keeping with the exploratory spirit of Pumpkins, where they found a secret path through a window into a strange courtyard filled with many peculiar soldier-gardeners. These soldiers were less than happy to see the Pumpkins entering the courtyard, having had a lot of experience with Gardening and knowing of the Pumpkins invasive nature. It was a massacre. The gardener-soldiers destroyed the Pumpkins in no time at all, leaving the ground of the courtyard covered in orange slime and Pumpkin guts. Thus ended the greatest Pumpkin Raid yet seen in Aevos. Spoiler The Great Pumpkin Pugsy (stuff will be refunded, if you were a Pumpkin Recruit and lost stuff to this Pugsy then ask a moderator and you should get it back) No harsh feelings, ain't the first Pumpkin Raid to end in its participants getting pugsied after all 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
func_Soap 410 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Mister 'Uncle' / 'Peepaw' Applebottom-Peregrin's jaw trembles in pride and fury. Not even the Orcs, who mere moments ago had ruthlessly attacked the coronation, could bring themselves to harm the fun brigade. For the first(?) and greatest Pumpkin Raid as yet seen on Aevos, incited by the ancient halfling himself, to end in such disaster brings the old-timer great sorrow. The feeling is at least tempered with the joy of having incited, participated, and for a short while directed the throng of pumpkins.
