Fearless hero or unprincipled villain? Defender against the nightmares or the most terrifying among them? Loyal friend or treacherous traitor? A figment of imagination or a genuine reality? A myriad of questions about a single enigmatic figure with a pumpkin instead of a head and body. Yet, these questions swirl in the minds of only a few individuals whose rigid intellect renders them impervious to the festive and cheerful atmosphere. They would rather indulge in discussions at endless symposiums in the abodes of knowledge and wisdom of the Sunny City. The rest of the Empire’s subjects are much more enticed by the joyful chaos of these glorious days at the turn of the harvesting season and preparation for the approaching winter. Whatever anyone thought or said, the celebration was already at the doorstep, and in the distance, at the edge of the forest, stood the image of a carved pumpkin, its ominous gaze beckoning with the allure of an indomitable force.
The curse of Halloween has come to life once again - today, strange creatures with pumpkin-shaped bodies, called Squashmen, have once again appeared across the lands of the Empire. By engaging in combat with one of them, you can tame it - and then it can perform the most audacious tasks of its master, attacking other Lords and Ladies. As it does its dirty work, the Squashman will share its skills with its master, gradually improving its abilities. Initially, the Squashman will only be able to defeat weaker Lords and Ladies, but gradually it will gain the strength to deal with stronger opponents. Any lord or lady from combat level 3 and above can harness the power of this creature! The 6,000 strongest Squashmen will remain forever in the memory and achievements of their masters (1,000 gold, 2,000 silver and 3,000 bronze):
  
Every Lord or Lady from the 3rd combat level will be able to meet the squashman on the map of the Empire. While viewing information about other Lords and Ladies, it will be possible to attack them with the tamed Squashman as long as they are online, not engaged in combat, all their free parameters are allocated, they have equipped a weapon in their right hand, and their army is recruited. The Squashman will be supported in the battlefield by units recruited from the Leaders' Guild followers! For each battle the Squashman will receive experience points and its master will receive faction skill points for every victory. Experience points can be spent to improve the characteristics of the Squashman. Part of the experience can be bought in exchange for gold, but not more than 50,000. It is possible to attack a Lord or Lady no more than once every 2 minutes and no more than 200 times. At the end of October 31st, the Squashman will vanish.
Moreover, the spirits of Halloween are once again spreading fear in the Imperial lands. This year their guile is as strong as ever! Every 20 minutes they will tear the veil between dream and reality, summoning anyone they can reach to a deadly battle! Prepare to face horror in all its glory! Tonight only:
- Lords and Ladies may have nightmares in their sleep up to nine times;
- Artifacts don't wear during nightmares;
It will be possible to escape the nightmares by seeking refuge in Sunny City!
Have fun! |
