HARVEST FEAST
Another season passes and in some parts of the world, it's time to harvest the autumnal crops before winter hits. Of course, those in warmer climes don't have to worry as much, but they have their own seasonal crops to bring in and ready for the market.
On Eltrut, the turtle leviathan's shell had transformed into a pumpkin as it usually does during this season. Now it's starting to shed, and to help aid in its progress and to celebrate the harvest, Eltrut's main port of Shellton is hosting a feast just outside of the city in large, spacious fields. Almost like a festival, everyone is invited to gather, cook, have fun, and sell their crops before the weather turns cold.
Of course there are some other traditional fun activities, like hay rides, corn mazes, a petting zoo that is a mix of farm animals and an aquarium? There is also something of a game or challenge for people to help clean up or carve out the pumpkin off of Eltrut's shell and collect the biggest piece. Rumor has it that making a ship out of the pumpkin shell rind will sail faster and stronger than any other material.
As for the feast itself, there are several cooking stations that anyone can use and anyone can find a space to set up a picnic, with or without a blanket. Later in the evening, a large bonfire will be lit with plenty of music and dancing.

🗺️ Ingredient Scavenger Hunt. While anyone can bring any ingredient to share and cook with others, participants can receive a list and small map to try and find specific ingredients and items to help decorate the feast area! Some hints are straightforward, others come in the form of riddles or puzzles. But each list will ask participants to bring one favorite ingredient and/or one decorative item suited to one's preference. This is to help encourage sharing one's preference with others and show a little more about themselves.
🪓 Bury the Hatchet. With Winterstide on the horizon, many take the opportunity to try and resolve some conflicts and problems that have been developing throughout the year. Perhaps there are people who have their own worries that they might want to confide in someone. If they need help, there may be some drinks such as apple cider and pumpkin spice (or standard ale) to help spill those worries and frustrations. Paladins and Corsairs are going to be the main source of grief, and fights are more likely to occur between them.
🤔 "Twenty Questions." What better time to bother someone and get to know them than with food and drinks? A fun game will go around where a person will think of a fact or topic about themselves and then others have to ask a set number of questions to try and guess what it is. For those who are shy, those same drinks may help loosen lips.
🍅 Food Fight. There's a lot of excess food, as well as some pent up frustrations. There's a designated "food fight" arena where participants can just chuck various fruits and vegetables without any worry. Don't worry, none of it will go to waste as the animals also need their feed!
🧺 Gremlin Food Basket Bonus Effect. On the MANTA Board, there is a quest about special food baskets and sharing and receiving food from others. At the feast, there will be an additional special effect on the food from these baskets, one that will help relieve and foster a more friendly, grateful effect from those who either eat from the basket or is hit by them in a food fight. That's right, people can use the fruits and vegetables from the basket in the food fight and potentially help calm people!
🐢 Pumpkin Spice Turtles. Little turtles with their own pumpkin shell are currently in danger! Special spices grow from their shells that can be used in many drinks, and are thus being overhunted to make a special Turtle Pumpkin Spice drink and Turtle Pumpkin Spice Stew. Help save them and the turtles will allow their rescuers to more safely harvest the spices.
