Re: Halloween Scavenger Hunt 2015
Vipera Magnifica:
Okay, let's go back to the Entrance Hall.
Actions: 4/8
Candy Cornn: 4
You return to the Entrance Hall, which looks like a bomb's hit it while you've been in the Storage Room. Hopefully you aren't all cursed or something. a fucking whale murmurs, echoing the sentiment.
From here you can go north to the
Dining Hall, or go upstairs and go west to the
Storage Room, north to the
Bedroom Hallway or east to the
Library. Or maybe you'd like to
examine an object, or ask your Pokémon to
use a move?

Superbird:
Deru, you can get the scent from the one candy cornn we have, right? See if you can use Odor Sleuth to pinpoint where there are more of them in this room. If everything in here was stuffed in recently, the candy cornn smells should be relatively recent too, right?
Actions: 4/8
Candy Cornn: 1
Deru nods, and takes a whiff of the Candy Cornn you've already collected. It's a weird smell, kind of like the cheap candy you get while trick-or-treating, mixed with creamed corn. Gross. Deru wrinkles his nose, but starts to hunt for the smell, nose to the ground. He follows the odour around the room, until finally, he comes to the bookcase. One particularly heavy tome, bound in green leather and gold fringe, takes Deru's attention. Deru cracks open a copy of
101 Graveyard Recipes for Bachelors and reveals -
- a fake book! Instead of weird lonely recipes, there's a hidden cavity with
four pieces of Candy Cornn. Awesome!
From here you can return to the
Bedroom Hallway.
You feel like there probably isn't anything else for you to find in this room, but maybe someone else will find something.

"*Cough*Cough* Damnit, we gotta stop whatever is causing the smoke. We do know that it is in the box, so use your technical ability to put out the source of smoke with a stream of water. Fire a Water Gun in the box!"
Actions: 2/8
Candy Cornn: 5
You and CateGory stagger further towards the box, coughing and trying to wave away the smoke, which is quickly filling up the little room. CateGory fills his cheeks with liquid and squirts a jet of water into the box, which
shrieks! The smoke clears away and gives way to a bit of steam, only to reveal a very grumpy Litwick sitting in the box. It glares up at you, evidently halfway through eating an entire package of Salty Licorice. No wonder that smoke smelled so bad!
CateGory frowns at the Litwick. "Hey, don't you know that smoking is bad for your health? Especially indoors with no ventilation!"
The Litwick rolls its eyes, re-lights its candle with a puff, and stomps away, phasing through the wall as it goes.
When you look into the box, you realise the Litwick was sitting on
six pieces of Candy Cornn!! Wow!!
From here you can return to the
Entrance Hall, or go west to the
Kitchen.

Ether's Bane
Actions: 7/8
Candy Cornn: 0
You and Viskran walk into the library, which is actually getting kind of crowded. As soon as you enter, the pile of books in the corner rearranges itself alphabetically by title, then alphabetically by author, then by dewey decimal, then by colour, then by length...
From here you can return to the
Entrance Hall. Or maybe you'd like to
examine an object, or ask your Pokémon to
use a move?

JackPK:
Hmmm... there's obviously something spooky going on with the books. But then again, this is (sort of) a video game and if I know video games, there is always something good in the trash can. So, uh, I'm going to go through the trash can, give its contents to Bun Two, and have her Fling it piece by piece at the bookshelves. While I carefully pocket any discarded candy for myself, heheheh.
Actions: 5/8
Candy Cornn: 1
Looking around the library, you feel your meta senses tingle, and decide to pick up the trash can and rifle through it. You were expecting trash, but instead it's full of ... bones? What the hell? You pass them on to Bun Two Three Four hastily, who Flings them at the books equally as fast. Gross. Each bone hits a book square in the spine (heh), and produces a funky, xylophonic sound
that seems kind of familiar. This continues while you and everyone else in the Library nod your head to the beat until you run out of bones. Wait, how long have you been throwing bones? How long were you trapped by the feverish, spine-tingling beat?
You're a bit dazed, but you can see that several books have fallen open, revealing
three pieces of Candy Cornn.
From here you can return to the
Entrance Hall.

Meursault:
Let's steal the painting with the Candy Cornn like the Thiefs we are.
Actions: 3/8
Candy Cornn: 3
You walk back into the Entrance Hall and straight up to that weird painting. Delve looks at the painted-on Candy Cornn, which doesn't really look like the rest of the painting - the paint's cheap and looks almost like crayon. Delve goes to scratch some of the flakey paint, when her hand goes
in to the painting
and grabs the Candy Cornn! She hands you the Candy Cornn in complete surprise and shrugs.
All kinds of weird things happen when you're a ghost. She decides to try her luck again, and instead walks her fingers right up the path, all the way to the castle doors, knocks on the front door, grabs
another piece of Candy Cornn, and walks all the way back again.
The painting darkens now, and seems kind of dull and ... flat. From here you can go north to the
Dining Hall, or go upstairs and go west to the
Storage Room, north to the
Bedroom Hallway or east to the
Library. Or maybe you'd like to
examine an object, or ask your Pokémon to

Faorzia:
Hey, Tavvy, can you Fly up to the ceiling and check for any loose boards or ghosts? Maybe you'll find something :D
Actions: 7/8
Candy Cornn: 0
With an excited flutter, Tavvy leaves your shoulder and takes wing around the room. He circles the ceiling, looking for any loose boards, but unfortunately this ceiling is smooth, white plaster with fancy cornices. Tavvy settles on the chandelier and ruffles his feathers, looking for any spooky ghosts.
Hello, the chandelier says menacingly,
are you comfortable? Tavvy goes to respond but
shrieks when he realises that he's come to rest on a Chandelure, not a Chandelier! The blue flames rise inside the Chandelure's body as it yells
BOO! and Tavvy flutters away, terrified. Eventually he comes to rest on your shoulder again, panting. The Chandelure chuckles as a few loose feathers fall to the ground, and drops
a piece of Candy Cornn to the ground with them.

Totodile:
Ooh, nice haul! Good job, Fluttershy. You will make a great vandal.
Let's see ... how about we sniff around that patch of dirt under the leftmost window? That looks suspicious.
Actions: 4/8
Candy Cornn: 6
Pleased with your loot so far, you and Fluttershy trot to the other side of the Dining Hall in good spirits. The full moon is shining outside the window, illuminating this otherwise dark corner of the room. You examine the dust patch and notice there's a set of footprints that walk into the dust and ... through the wall. That's ...
weird ...
