Halloween 2008

Trick or Treat

There are 3 new treats that can be acquired by visiting NPCs, saying "Trick or Treat" and targeting them. You can receive a muffin, a candy corn or a pixie stick. If you have Grandmaster (100) Begging there is a 2% chance that you will be given a small spider web. Of course there are many tricks that can be played upon you, from summoning a Changeling that attacks you to instant death and other curses.

Treats

muffin
candy corn
pixie stick
pumpkin pizza (very rare)
creepy cake (very rare)
murky milk (very rare)

The last three were gained by a GM Beggar, so it is unknown whether they're available to everyone. (Please confirm the small spider web has been seen on production shards)

Tricks

No apparent effect
Bleeding profusely (harmless)
Polymorph (wolf, gorilla, daemon, ettin - possibly as per the Magery polymorph?)
Evil twin (all your skills and weaknesses) tries to kill you, can not outrun, must gate or recall away.
Changeling (can be "lost" by rounding a corner and hiding)
Insta-death (65,000 damage, body parts - Fame loss does occur)
