  Halloween
It's Porktober 8th!
Click on the Jill-O-Lantern to go Trick-or-Treating in Seaside Town!
|
This holiday, which commemorates some ancient blood rite or other, involves people dressing in weird clothes and going door-to-door threatening to commit acts of petty vandalism unless the homeowner gives you candy. It's good fun for all involved, except the half-orc hoboes, who complain that when they do exactly the same thing, they get arrested.
Details
Halloween is that time of year when Adventurers dress up and scam candy off total strangers. Or something. It occurs each Porktober 8. To go trick-or-treating, you need an outfit. Each round of trick-or-treating costs an Adventure, and is available from the main map.

Halloween XX
Halloween XX introduced new special combat adventures. These adventures feature monsters that scale to your stats, similar to those found during the Feast of Boris or El Dia de Los Muertos Borrachos. These adventures do not occur while trick-or-treating (or in any other place that does not invoke adventure.php).

Wearing one of the special hats dropped by these combat adventures allows you to trick-or-treat (without an outfit), yielding a new set of trick-or-treat adventures:
Notes
- Without an outfit you receive the following message:
- You can't go Trick-or-Treating without a costume!
- You can go Trick-or-Treating while falling-down drunk.
- You will receive your outfit's special adventure approximately 40% of the time, and one of the generic adventures the other 60%.
- According to Xenophobe, there was never an intention for Radio Free Regalia to have its own Halloween yield and adventure.
- For Halloween XI, the text of the announcement under the main map was changed from "It's Porktober 8th!" to "This is Halloween!" since Halloween XI fell on real life Halloween as opposed to Porktober 8th. This also applies to Halloween XVI.
- For Halloween XX the text of the announcement under the main map was changed to "Spooky things are afoot!
You might as well take advantage of the atmosphere of terror. Click on the Jill-O-Lantern to go Trick-or-Treating in Seaside Town!"
References
- The announcement change to "This is Halloween!" for Halloween XI is a reference to the intro song of the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas.
- Almost all of Halloween XI is a mirror of the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, in which Christmas is taken over by Halloween.
- The theme of Halloween XX, mutated plant and animal life being the result of a radioactive meteorite, is the same concept as the horror movie Die, Monster, Die!
