WelCLOme to Halloween Town!

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

WelCLOme to Halloween Town!

In the velvety shadows of the Halloween Town pier, I, The Orb of Hallow's Eve, shine with an ethereal light, casting my glow upon the clandestine dealings around. Tales of mischief, magic, and moonlit masquerades are not new to my ancient gaze, but the story I bring you tonight is unlike any other. As the trees whisper secrets of the underworld, I beckon you closer to unveil a tale of intrigue and treachery - the great pumpkin smuggling conflict! In a realm where pumpkins are more than mere festive decorations, where their magical essence holds unimaginable power, the race to control them has ensnared kings, witches, and rogues alike. Come, dear reader, and delve into this moonlit mystery, for the shadows hold tales that are waiting to be told.

"Nah, they're definitely going to notice an AI wrote that."

Image
Meet the jolly citizens of Halloween Town! They've spent all year preparing the festivities for this year's event, and all they need now is more pumpkins.

Image
Luckily, there's the pumpkin boat now! What fortunate timing!

Image
But what's that? Two of the citizens look into the distance, hearing violent screaming behind the pumpkin boat...

Image
"THIEF! RETURN THE PUMPKINS YOU STOLE FROM OUR ROYAL GARDENS!"

Image
The ferryman shrieks in terror, realizing the Licensium Empire has caught up to him.

Image
It appears there won't be any festivities without a fight.

PREVIOUSLY...(Battle Report)

CLOsing Act

Image
A SHORT TIME AFTER THE BATTLE...

Image
[WARNING: CRASH IMMINENT]

Image
[WARNING! WARNING! WAR-]

Image
"SONOFA-!"

Image
"Dagnabbit, Agnus! I told ya to pay attention when pilotin'!"
"Aww gee, Pawpaw. We survived, didn't we?"
"SONNY I'M ABOUT TA-"

Image
"...Wait. Where the blazes are we?"

Image
"Would ya look at that, Angus! Someone dropped a perfectly good keg of OT!"
"Why, if I had a keg of OT I'd make sure ta keep it saaaafe an' sound!"
"Well sonny, looks like someone clearly has too much of it. And I think they'd be more than willin' ta share, if ya catch my drift."

Image
"Look, Pawpaw! Those folk over there seem to be mighty busy with something!"

Image
"Let's show them some good ol'-fashioned guestpitality, then!"
Pawpaw whips out the Sawed Off Godgun, because there is no kill like overkill.

Image
"WHO GOES THERE?! IDENTIFY YOURS-"

Image
*Click-ck*

Image
A sound more comparable to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture than an actual shotgun echoes through the air, blasting the tree to the ground. The other civilians begin to panic!

Image
Pawpaw wastes no time and immediately goes for the main goal. The skeleton nervously tries to talk the old redneck professor out of it...

Image
But Pawpaw knows better than to trust CLOans, pulling the trigger faster than an indie game developer selling out to Steam. Neither the skeleton nor The Buttman Who Laughed His Ass Off survive the onslaught of oversized shotgun ammunition to the face.

Image
"Would ya look at that, sonny! We hit liquid gold!"
"Hey Pawpaw, doesn't this stuff look suspiciously like blood?"
"Is it red, sonny?" "Ummm, yah." "Is it transparent?" "Uh huh..."
"It's RT maniak beer."
"Okay, but why is it stored in boxes instead of barrels?"

Image
A long, boring and totally neglectable scientific explanation later...
"Oh wow, it all makes sense now!"

Image
Pawpaw's endless greed isn't sated yet, and so the two scientists continue to explore the pier of Halloween Town. Using the boats as a makeshift bridge, they climb their way to the ritual grounds...

Image
Angus gets to perform the heavy physical labour in restoring the altar while Pawpaw acts as supervisor.
"Gee Pawpaw, why are we bothering with this mumbo jumbo magik stuff? I thought we were science-y folk?"
"Because even those crazy kultists knew what worked and what didn't. Morons just didn't know how or why."

Image
"Ya see, if ya put the RT in those bowls, and then add a lotta heavy sound..."

Image
Pawpaw plays some of the heaviest metal known to minifigs on the radio, causing the RT to burst into flames! Things seem to stay the same until Angus adds a touch of whimsical banjo playing!

Image
"DAGNABBIT ANGUS! WARN ME FIRST!"

Image
As Angus' banjo mixes with the heavy metal, the ground begins to shake and fall into the water, all the pumpkins-turned-spiders hidden under the ground pouring out!

Luckily, Angus' music is so awful they all run away in terror!

Image
The streets of Halloween Town fill with spiders and screams, the two scientists looking at their newfound loot.
"I knew it, sonny! Look at alla this goodness!"
"Hey Pawpaw, what's that weird pink one? Looks mighty fancy."
"Who cares, let's get it all on the ship and skeedaddle back to HQ!"

Image
Our two heroes celebrate their lucky find with a nice bottle of underground-cooled OT, before heading back into space using the engines they stole from the smuggler's boat.

Cheers!
