Figtober

**Figtober** is a Halloween-themed event occurring on the Figment site from October 24, 2020 to November 6, 2020. The event features three new, temporary Explore locations: Candycorn Chateau, Haunted Forest, and Spookytown. Each area has a unique set of human avatar items that can be obtained by exploring there.

## Candycorn Chateau

### Events

* *The climb up to the top of this tower was exhausting, but worth it. It was once someone’s astronomy lab: the ceiling is paneled glass, showing the glimmering stars above. On a desk crowded with tarnished equipment and a massive brass telescope, you find a generous pile of feathers.*
**Reward:** Feathers
* *This enormous space must once have been a ballroom. You can easily imagine the chateau’s former inhabitants dressed in all their finery, sweeping and spinning to ancient, unheard music. A flash of gold hidden in an alcove catches your eye: a small jeweled box full of feathers.*
**Reward:** Feathers
* *You come into a disused parlor with drop-cloth-draped furniture forming eerie white shapes in the dimness. Light shines from underneath one of the drop cloths, and you pull it back to discover a glowing blue chest!
What's inside?
You peek inside the chest and find a ghoulish treasure! You stow away your newfound item...hopefully it's not haunted!*
**Reward:** Ghostly Chains set
* *This room must have once been the kitchens. You can see a dusty stove, tarnished pots and pans hanging from the ceiling, and a gaping darkness in one wall: the hearth. Once, this hearth would have been the focal point of warmth, food, laughter--now, everything is dark, except for something glowing in the ashes...
What's that?
Sifting through the long-cold ashes, you find a \_\_\_!*
**Reward:** Jester set
* *Your wandering has brought you out of the chateau, into the overgrown gardens beyond. Overhead, the stars wink coldly, and a chilly wind nips at you as you hurry onward. Suddenly, one of your footfalls goes squish--you’ve stepped right onto an overripe jack-o-lantern. In fact, there’s an entire patch of them, all with carved glowing grins. Surely nobody would mind if you took a souvenir with you?
Pick out a pumpkin!
One particular jack-o-lantern catches your eye, so you make your selection. To your delight, there's a surprise hidden inside!*
**Reward:** Jack-O-Lantern set
* *The winding chateau is full of twists and turns that cloud your mind and remove any sense of orientation you had. Looking for some way to regain your bearings, you spot 3 flickering lights in the distance. You approach to find a room with three tables, each one mounted with a grinning jack-o-lantern. A whisper floats down from the ceiling: "Choose..."*
(answer **Left jack-o-lantern.**)
**Reward:** Tights With Webs
(answer  **Center jack-o-lantern.**)
**Reward:** Feathers
(answer  **Right jack-o-lantern.**)
**Reward:** 0 Steps

* *The stifling darkness retreats as you emerge into a moonlit garden. Your breath slows as silvery rays of light appear to dance before you, illuminating an ancient stone well brimming with radiant liquid.*
(answer **Drink.**)
*You draw a vial of the magical liquid and bring it to your lips. A feeling of utter rejuvenation washes over you as you imbibe the elixir.*
**Reward:** Gain steps
(answer **Have your pet drink.**)
*Your pet cautiously approaches and laps up the magical liquid. It gleefully springs back up, invigorated and renewed!*
**Reward:** Pet gains hunger points
(answer **Don't risk it.**)
*You slowly back away from the luminescent liquid. Drinking from a strange magical well seems like a slightly risky proposition! Wait, what’s this in the underbrush?*
**Reward:** Ominous Blue Moon
* You lean against a wall to take a quick breather, and the stone shifts behind you, revealing a secret passageway. Will you explore the hidden passage, or stay in the hall?
(answer **Try the passageway**)
Inside the passageway rests a small leather bag, where someone must have stashed it years and years ago. After blowing off the cobwebs, you open it to discover a handful of feathers.
**Reward:** Feathers
(answer **Stay in the hall)**
It’s probably safer out here. Imagine all the creepy crawlies that could be hiding in the dark!
**Reward:** Steps

## Haunted Forest

### Events

* *A mysterious chanting reverberates through the trees. The noise guides you to a grotto filled with a circle of whispering fae. As you intently watch, they suddenly stop and begin to laugh mischievously...*
(answer **Look a little closer...**)
**Reward:** Lose steps
(answer **Time to go!**)
**Reward:** 0 steps
* *Fallen leaves rustle underfoot as you follow a narrow path through the trees. A shadowy shape suddenly swoops over your head, causing you to duck--and when you straighten again, there are feathers drifting down from the shadow’s passage.*
**Reward:** Feathers
* *There is a feather lying on the path in front of you. You stoop over to pick it up, and see another feather, a few feet farther up the path. The trail of feathers continues for a while, before abruptly stopping in front of a huge old tree, wind rattling through its empty branches. Who--or what--left these feathers here?*
**Reward:** Feathers
* *The trees open ahead of you to show a huge lake, water gleaming white in the moonlight. An object lies half buried on the beach, and it looks suspiciously like an old-fashioned pirate’s chest. Opening it reveals not doubloons, but something almost as fun!
Wow, look what you found!
The chest opens with a creak... after brushing off the sand, your treasure is as good as new! Well, as new as something can be after being buried on a beach, of course.*
**Reward:** Wavecrest Raider set
* *You can hear the sound of water running, and decide to step off the path to investigate. A small stream glints in the moonlight, disappearing into a low-mouthed cave; the stalagmites and stalactites look like the hungry teeth of some strange beast. Someone has left a small wooden box next to the cave, and it glows eerie blue as you open it...
That's interesting...
The blue shine slowly fades, and you're able to peek into the box. Whoever left this here must have wanted you to take it!*
**Reward:** Cavernous Runes set
* *As you’re walking along the path, your foot collides with something hard. Ow! Crouching down to rub your hurt toe, you see something hidden under the bushes. Is… is that a skeleton? It's covered in some sort of nasty ooze...
Hopefully it's not cursed?
You delicately stow away your new treasure, what a lucky find!*
**Reward:** Enchanted Bones set
* *An enormous gnarled root blocks the path. The aged wood is petrified and immovable.*
(answer **Climb over.**)
*You and your pet shimmy up the side of the wooden obstruction. Whew, what a workout! It was definitely quicker than going around...*
**Reward:**Gain steps.
(answer **Go around.**)
*You carefully navigate your way through the dense foliage on your way around… Owww! What’s this chest doing here?*
**Reward:** Ominous Solar Eclipse
* *A massive tree stands before you, its branches curled and knotted in ways you never thought possible. You notice that the mysterious glyphs lining its trunk all culminate in concentric rings circling the darkened hollow pocketing its roots. Do you feel brave?*
(answer **Venture inside.**) Tights With Bats
(answer **Read the glyphs.**)
**Reward:**Lose steps.
* *The full moon shines through the gaps in the trees, its light undulating in mystical ribbons against the backdrop of the shadowy forest. As you listen in wonder, distant gallops echo like the pitter patter of rain against the forest floor. Before you stand half-horse, half-human figures. The centaurs have come.*
(answer **Greet them.**)
*You greet the centaurs in the most welcoming tone you can muster. They stare quizzically at you for a moment before turning one by one and fading back into the darkness. As the last centaur disappears he flourishes his hand and summons a shower of glittering feathers. Hey, thanks!*
**Reward:**Feathers
(answer **Bow.**)
*In synchrony, you and your pet both bow deeply to the magical creatures. The largest centaur steps forward and returns the bow. You look at your pet for a moment and note that you’ve never seen it look happier. When you look up, the centaurs are gone. Hey, there’s something in your pocket!*
**Reward:**Tights With Pumpkins
* *You notice an arched passage through the underbrush that leads to the remnants of an ancient dwelling of some sort. The time-worn stone foundation looks eons old, yet you have the feeling someone, or something, was recently here...*
*(*answer **Check it out.***)*
*Upon further inspection, you spot a small indentation in one of the remaining walls. As you press your hand against it, it gives way to reveal a hidden compartment!*
**Reward:**Tights with Bones
*The path before you abruptly ends in a thicket of thorny vines.*
(answer **Go Left.**)
**Reward:**Ominous Full Moon
(answer **Go Right.**)
**Reward:**Feathers

## Spookytown

### Events

* *This street is mostly dark: the families who live here must all be out trick-or-treating, rather than giving out candy. Halfway down the block, you can feel eyes watching you, but when you turn around, there are only shadows, and a strange, glistening substance splattered across the street. It’s... probably not blood. Probably.*
* *A black cat stops in front of you, golden eyes flashing in the streetlight. The two of you stare at each other for a few seconds, before the cat flicks their tail and bounds away into the darkness.*
* *You walk up to knock on a door, chiming, “Trick or treat!” as the door opens. The elderly centaur’s face crinkles in a smile as she presses a handful of feathers into your waiting hands.*
**Rewards:** Feathers
* *The breeze whistles through the trees, breathing life into the branches that undulate against the backdrop of the starry sky above. A full moon reveals its face from the clouds, smiling down upon you. The air itself is magical tonight.
You relax your body, letting the winds of magic flow over you. You feel renewed vigor that fortifies your mind and body against the chill of the darkness.*
**Reward:** Gain steps
* *You can hear a buzzing sound close by, and you investigate a nearby empty lot to find a massive insect nest embedded in a hollow tree. You don’t recognize the insects, but they’re small and golden and move very quickly. Some sort of ambery liquid spills forth from the nest, with a treasure hidden inside… will you try to approach?*
(Answer **Approach!**)
*The buzzing gets louder as you creep forward, but you manage to reach into the amber goo and extract your prize!*
**Rewards:** Devil's Flower set
(Answer **Back away, slowly.**)
*This is probably the safest option. Still, you can't help but wonder what was hidden in that amber...*
**Rewards:** Gain steps
* *“Hey, could you help me fix my costume?” The person is wearing a purple cloak and skull face paint, and they seem to be having trouble with their elaborate belt. You help them adjust the pins in back, and they give you a grateful smile and a thank you. Only when they’re walking away do you catch sight of an ominous purple shadow looming over their shoulder, eyes aglow…
Hmm, what is that?
The mysterious person disappears, leaving you with a sense of unease. You notice an item left on the ground, and secure it in your candy basket for safe keeping.*
**Rewards:** Necromancer set
* *“Trick or treat!” The group of kids in costumes is blocking the sidewalk. They don’t look like they’re going to move until you give them an answer.*
(answer **Trick!**)
*Suddenly, a red-skinned monster jumps out from behind them, giving a loud, “ROAR!” The children dissolve into laughter at your fear, and the red monster gives you a friendly grin, saying, “Here, you can have part of my costume. Go scare someone else!”*
**Rewards:** Oni item set
(answer **Treat!**)
*“Happy Halloween!” The group choruses, each of them reaching out to press a piece of candy into your hands. These are bound to give you a great sugar rush.*
**Rewards:** Gain steps
* *A strange fog coalesces in the distance, drifting up the street in creeping tendrils. You can’t help but notice that it seems to be heading right toward you…*
(answer **Turn back**)
**Rewards:** 0 Steps
(answer **Enter the mist.**)
**Rewards:** Tights with electric bones
* *Instead of someone answering the door, this house has a bowl with a sign that commands, “TAKE ONE”. But nobody is watching…watching…*
(answer **Take just one.**)
**Rewards:** 1 Feather
(answer **Take a big handful!**)
**Rewards:** Lose steps
* Someone has set up a stand on the sidewalk, and is giving away caramel apples. They give you a big smile, and you step forward to accept one. The caramel is warm and gooey as it drips onto your hand. Better eat it fast! (answer **Yum!**) **Rewards:** Gain steps
