Halloween in Haunted Yanshi!

Life's been pretty hard since Gaerlan and Martine came to town, but now we can all take a breath and kick back for some festive Halloween fun in the spooky shadow of Yanshi's ruins! Beware, though, they say those ruins are haunted, and that Yanshi has long been a hotbed for paranormal activity...

What's Going ON?!?

If we told you everything, it would spoil the surprise! Naturally you will find everybody enjoying the season decked out in their best Derethian costumes, jack-o-lanterns a'plenty, and of course lots of great party food.

You will also have the opportunity to join in a torchlight procession where you will hear of the Ghosts of Yanshi.

Don't forget to bring your tricks and treats! During the event, anybody may approach anybody else and chant the age-old mantra, "trick or treat!". There's no telling what your fellow adventurer will see fit to hand over. Will it be a candy bar? A virindi jewel? Another rock? Or perhaps you arrived too late and they are out of treats, alas...

Since you'll be in the neighborhood, afterwards why not check out the new chess craze at the nearby Yanshi Festival Grounds? (12.8S 42.8E)

SEE YOU THERE!
