This ominous occurrence becomes more troubling and perplexing as the pumpkin vines surrounding the resulting crater grow to form a complete¸ sinister dome with a small doorway leading inside. One adventuring party enters¸ never to return. The Hallows eve festival approaches¸ but will the village of Shady Hollow enjoy this year's events if the pumpkin patch menace continues to cast a dark shadow over the community? Can another party of brave adventurers clear away the evil from the stars?"
