[td]Deadly Apocalypse

As if our Heroes and Villains didn't have enough
foul-smelling fiends with rotting flesh to deal with during a zombie apocalypse, this year, Heroes and Villains have to come up with new
strategies to tackle a new terror. When Haunted Sigils appear, destroy them quickly and prepare for wave after wave of relentless foes.
Only after all the foes have been defeated will you be rewarded with a ghoulish surprise. It's a trick and treat!

Badges, Temporary
Costumes, and Other Rewards

The greater the
challenge, the greater the reward! This year our Heroes and Villains receive new trick or treat prizes. Everyone who completes the various stages of the
Deadly Apocalypse will receive a badge, and all of last year's goodies will be back for players who missed them.

Be sure to visit
Ravenwing Cabbal's Annah in Croatoa or Granny Beldam in Nerva Archipelago to learn more about the 2009 Halloween Event activities.

Happy trick or
treating!

... I think Amber needs to make Emet bigger, just so she has room to hang all the badges on him.

"AAAAH! What's THAT?!"

"What, the giant walking badge pile?"

"... oh."

"Hi Emet!"

Syndesis: 'ey, new badges. Awesome. I'm totally gettin' those.
Space Mage: (quietly) Errrrrr...really, Miz Syn? I didn't think you'd...I mean, you're not like...I didn't know you did...I mean...
Syndesis: Eh? Somethin' wrong wit' me badgin'? Ain't allowed or somethin'?
Space Mage: (hurridly) N-n-no, t-that's not what I meant! I mean, um, collecting badges is like...uh...a sorta harmless peaceful hobby...thing. Whereas you, ahhh...really like violence? Um. And stuff.
Syndesis: Oh. Yeah, I gotcha. Mmm...'kay, see, 's like this. Badges are meant ta be collected and worn, right? Displayed and all, yeah?
Space Mage: Yes?
Syndesis: So they're bein' worn by folks in combat, mmkay?
Space Mage: Ye-eeeees?
Syndesis: So badges need ta be hard n' indestructable-like, 'else they'd break. So the city makes 'em out of impervium alloy.
Space Mage: Right...
Syndesis: Which means they're freakin' awesome as punch reinforcers.
Space Mage: (wide-eyed)) ...
Syndesis: See, when yer throwin' a punch at, wot, just under t'speed o' sound...normal brass knucks just ain't up ta t' challenge.
Space Mage: ...
Syndesis: I mean, yeah, I s'pose I could get somethin' custom-made fer my fists, maybe. But hey, badges are free. Times are tough, y'know? Gotta save money.
Space Mage: ...
Syndesis: 'cides, some o' these badge things have really funky patterns n' symbols n' everythin'. So if yer strap 'em to yer hands, like, it makes really awesome lacerations when yer punch people inna face.
Space Mage: I...see.
Syndesis: Yeah, yeah, I know Mythbusters says yer can't really make t' impression o' a skull on someone's face by punchin' 'em with a skull-shaped ring n' stuff...
Space Mage: (quietly) M...m...meep...
Syndesis: (happily) ...but I'm thinkin' they were testin' on normal human flesh, right? Thing is, see, zombie flesh is a different story - elasticity n' skin tension's all off, ya? So right now we've got zombies, n' we've got badges...TOTALLY time fer some empirical testin'!
Space Mage: (starts inching away from Syn) ...
-- Acyl

Holy....

That's alot of badges.

The last 6 are the new badges. The First 8 are from the normal Halloween stuff, and the 4 in the middle are from the Zombie Attacks.
