The Pedantry Of The Pumpkin King

[DM Betelgeuse]

    In the backwater known as Greatgaunt, stories begin to circulate of a strange entity that appeared from the cold fog. It looked to be an average scarecrow, but with a pumpkin for a head which was adorned with a crown. He appeared to be an overly flirtatious entity, claiming to be animated by the spirits of twelve dead bards. He took great delight in being flirtatious with the adventurers around, teasing them with information and asking them riddles.

    It was overheard discussing an entity known as Lazarus with someone who claimed to be a scrivener of doom - claiming that Lazarus was angry with the living and to understand him one must understand true hatred and allow themselves to be lost in it. The entity then made it's way south. One thing is for sure... this is not the last we have seen of this entity.

A scroll has recently appeared on notice boards in places frequented by adventurers, including Greatgaunt. Immediately visible upon it, are an image of a crowned pumpkin in the center, and one of skull biting a scroll in the lower corner.
