Halloween Houses 2009

There is a Halloween House Tour rune book locked down at the Baja Award House & Museum.​



Following the Fall Festival/Bazaar, EM Seppo and EM Pallando led a tour of the Halloween House entries. Due to the large number of people on the tour, I revisited each of the houses later to get screenshots.​

DO NOT DISTURB​

Please do not touch anything. There is a current investigation to determine the cause of death of the Girl Scouts. Please note that there is blood and gore inside. If you are sensitive to morbid scenes it's recommended that you not go inside.​

If you have any knowledge of events leading up to the murders of the Girl Scouts, please contact the Skara Brae Authorities.
Thank you."​

Demented Pleasures School of Medicine At Zento Halloween Party
(By the time I got screenshots, the party was over and the party goers and band had left.)​

"Halloween Costume Party
by Dr Henry Jekyll​

Welcome to the Demented Pleasures School of Medicine at Zento annual Halloween costume party.​

Every year we like to hold a costume party for our current and former students. This gives them a chance to mingle and talk about new techniques in medicine as well as cut a little rug and relax.​

Every year the first year students work very hard to clean the facilities, so that all the lab tables and gurneys are clean enough to eat on. They are also responsible for cleaning up the next day, which can be worse than cleaning up before the party.​

The middle classmen have the responsibility of providing the refreshments and entertainment. I think this year they have outdone themselves. One of the students had his mummy make some delicious backed goods, and the milk is aged perfectly. For the alumni we have brought out some bottles of our very own harvest wine. I am concerned about the eggnog bowl on the first floor as it smelled of alcohol. This year's entertainment will be handled by "The Crypties". I am told they are all the rage among the younger crowd but it sounds like wailing to me.​

The job of decorating the campus fall to the graduating class. The students use this opportunity to show off their surgical skill by carving jack o' lanterns and signing their names to them.​

The first floor will remain setup as a lecture are to provide patrons a quiet place to siet, eat, and talk. This year the third floor potions and draught lab has been emptied to provide room for dancing and the undead entertainment. I am sorry to say that we were not able to find suitable facilities to temporarily relocate the contents of our morgue.​

The alumni of the school provide the candy for the young trick or treaters that show up. This year they have supplied a tub full of candy.​

The faculty hopes that everyone has an enjoyable time and a Happy Halloween.​

PS: Please read the book entitled 'Necronomicon Ex Mortis' located on the benches in the lecture hall for normal information about the school.​

I went on the tour following the Fall Bazaar/Festival ... these were the houses we went to ... Later I used the rune book locked down at the Baja Award House, same 7 runes.

Questions ... Were there 27 items in the mailbox when you added your rune, or did you actually see 27 runes? Is your entry shown in the screenshots?

Nay my entry wasnt shown thats why i asked, didnt try to open his mailbox so bit of an assumption on my point that it was 27 runes in there sorry, but yes I wondered if they toured my house or not, oh well a few hours of time wasted in house decor but i needed a break from crystal hunting anyhow. My house was in Malas so wouldnt have been an issue about PvPers running about guess they just missed a rune.

Tried to stay for festivites but had dinner plans and was already late by staying till end of costume event
