This Sunday, October 28th at 8:00 p.m. ET, come see the coronation of the new Pumpkin King and the fight for the vaunted title of Diamond -- sign up here!
Lantern Estate is a prized manor overlooking the grounds of Orktoberfest, last held by Lady Jacquelyn Orwell Lantern III -- better known to her contemporaries as Jacky O. Lantern, the Pumpkin King. She fell in battle to the undead of Wightstone Manor many years ago, and her mysterious New Haven house has stood empty and silent ever since... until now! The ghost of Lady Lantern has appeared to the orcish shamans of Orktoberfest and promised her estate to the new Pumpkin King --
-- but the presence of great warriors, "their strength blessed by precious green stone," is needed for the fallen adventurer to cross the Veil and relinquish her keys and crown the house's new master. Diamond Quest's mighty combatants will attend the coronation, and in exchange Lady Lantern has promised a retinue of warrior spirits to cheer for the fighters, and a chest of stolen silver for the victor to go with their Diamond prize.
Fighters will face off in the ruins of Lantern Estate's garden ballroom, surrounded by the vast pumpkin patch at the edge of Orktoberfest -- and the ghastly forms of the dancing dead, who are not above hindering those fighters they have bet against.
Food & Drink:
While there are several tables set for the more... unlifed attendants to the party (and you're more than welcome to try such victuals if you dare!), attention has been paid to those who still breathe and live.
To quench the fighters' thirst between rounds, there is Punch of the Undead in honor of the Diamond Quest.
The Wrecking Crew also donated cases of two special beers from Silver Mark brewed specially for Orktoberfest: Silver Mark - Grot and Silver Mark - Squig. The special guest that happens upon an autographed bottle of Silver Mark (signed by one of the Crew!) will win season tickets to the next baseball season at Kitsune Stadium*.
*To win the tickets, you must post below with your character attending (even if you can't make the event live) and a winner will be chosen on Monday, October 29th!
Dress:
Lady Lantern has made one more request: she is a very fancy lady and has demanded that everyone show up in period finery out of respect to herself and the Pumpkin King!
[]Many thanks to Mallory for doing a lot to put this together![]
