Announce Post #3094: The Haunted House is Open!

Autoposter

The Haunted House is now open with lots of attractions provided by the business savvy of Trader Bob and his Merchant Peak's Coterie. A wide selection of costumes (including new ones!) can be purchased within in addition to a slew of activities available to enjoy: pumpkin carving, web-making in the basement, a unique vengeance game, a maze with many mysteries, bobbing for apples, fortune readings, haunted furniture, spooky refreshments, and a spooky play retelling the story of the Vernal Goddesses known as the Hearth Sisters and the cities they rose from in the times of Vernal Wars. Show starts every midnight!

If you happen upon an odd doorway hanging in the middle of the air, be wary! Knock upon it only if you dare! The Oracle of the Earthburner herself has cursed the Haunted House and the Basin at large.

To make sure you don't miss out on anything the Coterie has prepared a Haunting Adventure to guide you through all of the activities. Be sure to pick up a pamphlet at the door. The Haunted House is located on the Stair of Death on Avechna's Peak and will stay open until the 8th November.

Oh, and keep your eyes out in the lower levels of the Mansion for something quite... peculiar.
