Major Tom 2009 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Re: Uh Oh. Whats the story here? Time for bit of creative thought. What have the heroes stumbled into? Where is this? and whats the story? What: By all appearances, a pagan ceremony/ritual being conducted by children. Where: In all likelihood, one of those really out-of-the-way New England commun- ities of the sort that writers such as Lovecraft and King use(d) in their stories -- the kind of communities with a long (but generally unknown to the public at large) hist- ory of weird and eldritch happenings. The Story: As is so often the case with such happenings, whatever the story may be, it's something that bodes ill for any unwary traveller unfortunate enough to come across it in his or her travels (remember the Children of the Corn movies?).

薔薇語 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Re: Uh Oh. Whats the story here? If this is another "create your own story" idea, then I may have something. If you all can recall the story of the Pied Piper. The piper didn't gain his powers from his own doing but rather through a compact with a devilish fiend of the autumn harvest. Once every harvest moon, the piper must ready a spot out in the woods lest he forever be casted as but another pumpkin in the fiend's devilish feature. As such, he will use the talents given to him to lure a collection of children out into the woods where they will dance and sing praise to the fiend as he slowly incorporates them into the patch. If you take note of the guy in the foreground - That is the intrepid Hero who seeks to understand and thwart this atrocious act before it is too late. La Rose.

Lucius Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Re: Uh Oh. Whats the story here? Bonfires dot the rolling hills Figures dance around and around To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness Moving to the pagan sound. Somewhere in a hidden memory Images float before my eyes Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires And dancing till the next sunrise. I can see lights in the distance Trembling in the dark cloak of night Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing A waltz on All Souls Night. Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows Held up tall as the flames leap high The green knight holds the holly bush To mark where the old year passes by. I can see the lights in the distance Trembling in the dark cloak of night Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing A waltz on All Souls Night. Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides Figures dance around and around To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness And moving to the pagan sound. Standing on the bridge that crosses The river that goes out to the sea The wind is full of a thousand voices They pass by the bridge and me. I can see the lights in the distance Trembling in the dark cloak of night Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing A waltz on All Souls Night. I can see the lights in the distance Trembling in the dark cloak of night Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing A waltz on All Souls Night.

Old Man Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Re: Uh Oh. Whats the story here? The adventurers have arrived just in time to see the children defeat the evil Pumpkin King. They have him surrounded and confined by holding hands and chanting the timeless charms as he is destroyed by fire. The adventurers should stick around. There will be pie.

BobGreenwade Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Re: Uh Oh. Whats the story here? Ah, so many Great Pumpkin suggestions here (though I wonder why he'd be after Charlie Brown and not Linus Van Pelt). Clearly there's a Samhain ritual going on here, and it's quite successful. That's the angle I'd give it for a story, with a Lovecraft flavor and perhaps a nod to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the angle I'd give it for a story, with a Lovecraft flavor and perhaps a nod to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Actually, the Great Pumpkin would probably be after neither Linus nor Charlie... "I come bearing gifts for all the sincere children here gathered! Schroeder - you will be able to play your piano in peace! Charlie Brown - never again will you kick in vain at a football snatched away at the last moment! And my prophet Linus will no longer be persecuted in his own home!
