Exploring the Shadow Caravan, you notice a pumpkin patch that wasn't there, last time you checked, anyway. Many of the pumpkins in this patch are already fully grown despite the patch only being here for a couple days, and someone has already moved in and carved the pumpkins with toothy grins and empty eyes. Their creepy grins unsettle you, but you can't really place why. Some of the pumpkins are propped up on bodies made of tree branches in the shape of human bodies.
As you enter the patch you begin to feel faint, the world around you shaking and becoming foggy. You're not sure if the pumpkins are surrounding you, but it definitely feels like they are.
---
You awake after an indeterminable amount of time, in the pumpkin patch. The fog wasn't just in your field of vision as a blanket of fog has covered the pumpkins, though you can still see their faces, eerily glowing.
As you gain your bearings and continue through the patch, you stumble upon two skeletons. One is dressed as a pirate, and the other is dressed as...something? You're not entirely sure what. They speak.
"Hey, I'm Elirona," says the pirate skeleton. They gesture at the other skeleton, "this is my cohort, Cool Milk." The weird skeleton nods silently. You can't read his expression beyond his yellow grin and awesome aviator sunglasses. Elirona speaks once more: "our special pumpkin patch has appeared for you because we're here to make a proposition," he snaps his fingers, and a table appears with an assortment of rare items. Your mouth waters a bit. "For just a few coins, you could have the chance to win some items that have been plundered from the depths of the underworld."
You spot a nifty golden scythe and some green lederhosen, along with lots of other cool things. Elirona holds out a glass bowl, filled with tickets.
