Halloween Event 2020

The experience of the ride to the festival.

The **Halloween Event** in 2020 was the Sam & Danni Halloween special which featured a boat ride with Danni in her vampire costume. In the event, there was a small town players spawned in which they could look and walk around listening to what the townspeople were saying. After they were done, players would take the boat ride to get to the festival and celebrate Halloween. However on the ride, they end up going down the wrong river unlike everyone else and face some creepy things.

## Appearances

#### **Danni**

The main character was Danni being the protagonist where she was seen by the dock waiting and talks about the festival on the boat ride. She is also partially responsible for giving directions to the boat on where it should go.

### Side characters

#### **Onlookers**

The onlookers are seen briefly by a house in the creepy swamp as one on the dock tells riders ominously to keep their arms inside their boat foreshadowing what is to come seconds later.

> Keep your arms inside that boat... Wouldn't want anything grabbin' a hold of ya now, would we?

> The onlooker

#### Weasel

A random character is seen in the boat house sitting down crying, but unknown as to why they are there and crying besides them being there hiding as well. It does seem to be that Weasel was a bandit and was going to be some sort of enemy, as the resource pack had a "defeat" animation for him and some of the townspeople say, "I didn't think Weasel the bandit had it in them."

#### Townspeople

The townspeople are people in the town which players could walk upto and listen to them tell thing to them before the ride.

## Appearances

### Appears in

The swamp and cave

The Little Girl and the Werewolf both attack Danni and other riders on the boat, making them the antagonists.

#### **The Little/Missing Girl**

The Little Girl (aka The Missing Girl) is a small ghost-like human that sometimes drags the boat to different places and scares the riders by popping out of the water and making a loud shriek.

#### **The Werewolf**

A werewolf appears in the creepy swamp which chases the boat down all they way though the cave till the riders run into the werewolf. After the riders run into the werewolf, Danni hands the player to thow at a crane so the crane collapses onto the werewolf, defeating it.

## Rewards

There were two rewards for different completions. The Vampire Danni avatar was given after completing the ride for the first time and the Cauldron core was given after finding all five pumpkins in the town.

Sam! Sam... Sam! SAM.**Danni** *(confused)*Huh? Maybe he can't hear me.[Danni turns around]**Danni** *(calmly)*He's usually quite quiet anyway.

Thanks mister![Danni looks around]**Danni**It's a really nice day for some trick or treating.[Danni sees a waterfall ahead]**Danni** *(creeped)*I hope we don't go into the waterfall, it looks kinda wet.[The boat passes behind the waterfall]**Danni** *(exclaiming assuringly)*Over there looks spooky! Maybe we should take a look, all those scary stories are just to keep the kids out.[The boat turns onto the wrong path]**Danni** *(questioning)*Wait, this isn't the way... Are you doing this!?[The boat goes down a small slope]**Danni** *(frightened)*Hold on tight! AHH!**Danni** *(relieved)*Phew... I think we're safe now?[Danni looks around]**Danni** *(scared)*Are those... skulls on spikes? This is getting creepy.**Onlooker** *(ominous)*Keep your arms inside that boat...

A way out![The werewolf appears in the distance]**Danni** *(fearful)*What's that... What's that![The werewolf roars loudly and the little girl makes an ominous yell. The hands start rowing faster away towards a boat house]**Danni** *(terrified)*WAHH!**Danni** *(spooked)*There's a boat house ahead, let's just hide there, we'll be safe![The boat rows into the boat house while grand opening like music plays. Danni then looks around. Boats hanging up start crashing down]**The Little Girl***Giggles*[Danni looks over the boat into the water for a moment. The little girl appears suddenly with a sudden sound staring at you. The dirt under the water falls and the boat falls into a water stream in a large cave]**Danni** *(exclaiming)*We need to get of here fast. Hold on tight![The werewolf starts chasing the boat and keeps grunting loudly]**Danni** *(terrified)*It's above us! It's over there! It's gonna get us! No no no no! Please, stay away from the edges![The werewolf gives a long mighty roar that fades away and then the cave goes quiet]**Danni** *(unsure)*Go towards that light? Maybe it's the way out![The werewolf jumps out in front under a wooden crane]**Werewolf***Growls***Danni** *(terrified)*It's the monster!**Danni** *(nervous)*Uh, uh... that crane looks weak! Try throwing these at it![You are handed snowballs by Danni and you proceed to throw them at the crane]**Danni** *(delighted)*It's working! It's about to break![The crane cracks and comes crashing down on the werewolf]**Danni** *(anxious)*Go go go!
