TOIL AND TROUBLE ❄ PART 2 SIGN UPS

Part 2 of the plot will have several different npced encounters that characters can go on. The outcome of these encounters will be influenced by the choices characters make in them.

Players can only play 1 character total and pick 1 prompt for them, to allow the mod to be able to handle npcing them.

It can be assumed that these encounters happen shortly after the prompts in part 1.

PROMPT 1 ❄ EVERYONE HAIL TO THE PUMPKIN KING

[nightmods]

The witches are an overwhelming force this Halloween, but Halloween is missing something.

Last year, a magic door appeared to a realm where it was Halloween year round. On October 31, led by Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, the residents of Halloweentown traveled into the world and wreaked Halloween havoc.

However...they showed some sportsmanship. No children were truly permanently traumatized, since they were expecting spooks and scares on that day. And Jack made it clear to the Guardians they intended to do no harm to anyone - where's the fun in hurting people instead of scaring them?

And as promised, they returned to their realm at 12 am on November 1st.

This year, though, they're nowhere to be found. Knowing the residents of Halloweentown may find the witches to be unsporting in the harm they cause, Jack tasks some of the group to travel to Halloweentown and see if the residents of Halloweentown might be willing to increase their numbers against the witches.

This group will have to engage in some diplomacy and try their best to gain allies.

Going to throw Dick over here, I think. Sam's on child guarding duty.

PROMPT 2 ❄ OPERATION LOUDSPEAKER IS POPPIN'

[nightmods]

A group of guardians are needed to help set up magically enhanced speakers all over town, as well as protecting several Guardians that are going to sing to cover up Sarah's musical Pied Piper spell.

But the witches will certainly retaliate, sending some of their craftiest and meanest witches to try to stop them: a group of high school girls not afraid to get a little homicidal.

Branch is gonna belt it out!

[favoritefearlesshero]

Puss can sing AND fight! No one can tell me he can't!

Aqua's stepping up as a bodyguard to protect the singers.

[rallieshearts]

Once Rowan stops having a gay moment, and hooks them up to the best speakers they can manage, they're there to sing back up for those more experienced.

PROMPT 3 ❄ LULLABY

[nightmods]

A witch has awakened just outside town, a cloud in the shape of her ghastly cackling face rising from a column of green fire. Magical lightning is striking all over town - a danger to the Guardians and the children they're trying to save.

Some Guardians will have to confront this witch.

But she is different from some of the others. At the heart of her path of havoc is the pain of a young life cut short. As such, there are multiple ways to potentially stop the turmoil.

Throwing Tim in.

PROMPT 4 ❄ A HARD BARGAIN

[nightmods]

A foolhardy Jack goes and tries to make a deal with the one witch he knows that can easily cast a protective spell over town.

Baba Yaga.

The only problem? She's difficult to bargain with. A twisting of words and outwitting of Jack leads to him becoming her captive. Some Guardians will have to bargain with the old witch to recover him and win the witch over so she provides the protective spell Jack was seeking for the children. How well they do so will decide the future challenges she will someday lay before them.

[millenyal_pink]

Elle for the Baba Yaga. This can only end well.

[bestbrotherever]

Throwing Loki in. Maybe his silver tongue will help and not make things worse.

PROMPT 5 ❄ LABYRINTH

[nightmods]

A surreal realm appears in the bowling alley of Burgess, filled with psychedelic imagery. Inside is a witch, a mindless monster with unique powers and minions that need to be defeated before innocent people wander into its labyrinth.

Signing up Henry!
