Hello and welcome, adventurers and Game Masters!

This is a holiday themed one-shot module designed for use as an evening’s worth of adventuring on Samhain, or as it is better known in the modern world, Halloween. It's a dark & stormy night, & your party seeks refuge at venerable Foggybottom Manor. All is not as it seems, however, & you find yourself involved in a quest to rescue your hosts' kidnapped children from the clutches of an ancient Fae creature known as The Pumpkin Man!

The adventure in this module takes place in and around Willowston a halfling village located in a heavily wooded area of The Dales, a large land mass in the author’s campaign world comprising a large fertile valley surrounded on all four sides by nearly impenetrable mountains. The Dales is the ancestral home of the halfling, gnome and dwarven races on this world.

The manor house where the action occurs is situated 3 miles outside the village, along a trade route. The events herein occur on the evening of Samhain, when the veil between this world and the next is thin and it is easier for beings from the Other Side to cross over into ours.

This supplement contains a completely original HOLIDAY ONE SHOT adventure, which was written as a sort of interactive ghost story told by the GM and the players! There is a good deal of exposition as the GM sets the mood for this otherworldly adventure!!
