There was a time when Blackthorn Hollow was a place of warmth—a place where laughter echoed between fields of golden corn, and the scent of fresh-baked bread lingered in the cool autumn air. But the Pumpkin King remembers. He remembers the promises made, and more importantly, he remembers those broken. It was not always so; the harvests had been bright, and the villagers faithful. But as years passed, traditions waned, and the village forgot. And so the Pumpkin King awoke, roused by neglect and the taste of bitterness in the air.

Now, the fields twist in ways they never did before, paths leading only deeper into shadow. The scarecrows, once guardians of the crops, have grown restless, their hollow eyes following anyone foolish enough to tread near. There is something in Blackthorn Hollow—something ancient, something that remembers—and it is very, very angry.

The harvest is no longer a time of joy, but a game of fear and survival, a dance with shadows under the gaze of something that will not forgive and cannot forget. Those who step into the Hollow now must be bold, for the Pumpkin King waits, and he is not kind to those who dare disturb his domain.

Hi friends,

Blackthorn Hollow Village Square

The village square is eerily empty, the atmosphere thick with an unnatural stillness. The market stalls, once filled with goods and laughter, are now abandoned, their wares long since spoiled and forgotten. The festive decorations that used to bring joy have withered, their colors faded and ribbons torn by the wind.

 

The Forsaken Forest

A dense forest surrounds the village, filled with twisted trees whose long, sharp thorns drip poison, adding a constant sense of danger. The forest is also dotted with old scarecrows that sway in the wind, their presence eerily unsettling. At dusk, the scarecrows’ eyes flicker to life, and they twist off their posts to wander the forest.

 

The Sinister Corn Maze

An overgrown corn maze that hums with dark energy. Voices seem to echo from nowhere, luring the adventurers deeper into the labyrinth. The air feels thick, almost suffocating, as if the corn maze itself is aware of your presence, bending the paths to lead you astray. The rustling of the leaves creates an unsettling cacophony, as though countless unseen eyes are watching, waiting for the right moment to strike.

 

Haldren's Old Barn

 Haldren's old barn, once a place of storage and shelter, now stands dilapidated on the edge of the forest. The roof has partially collapsed, and the walls are covered in creeping vines that seem to pulse with a sinister energy. Haldren, the previous owner, has fallen under the control of the Pumpkin King, and now haunts the barn as a twisted shell of his former self. Strange symbols are painted on its walls in dried blood, their dark shapes twisting as though alive.

The Crumbling Bridge

A rickety wooden bridge leads across a narrow ravine to the Old Thorn Orchard. Thick, twisted vines seem to wrap around the bridge, their thorns glistening ominously in the dim light. Glowing pumpkin faces peer out from the dark, their expressions twisted into sinister grins.

  The Forgotten Shrine

A small, hidden shrine deep within the Old Thorn Orchard, overgrown by vines and almost lost to time. The shrine is dedicated to an ancient deity of the harvest, its stone walls covered in worn carvings and faded symbols.

  The Witch’s Hollow

A clearing where an ancient cauldron bubbles. Runes of protection are carved into the center of the clearing, seemingly created to ward off evil. The air hums with arcane energy, and a witch waits, her face obscured by a wide-brimmed hat.

  The Path of Weeping Trees

Within the orchard, tall, twisted trees seem to cry a dark, sticky sap that smells of decay. Strange whispers drift from the branches, as if the trees themselves are alive and speaking in an ancient, forgotten tongue. The ground is littered with old scarecrow parts, their limbs scattered among the roots, slowly rotting and entwined with the earth.

  The Dead Orchard Gate

An old, rusted iron gate covered in thorny vines marks the entrance to the Old Thorn Orchard. The vines twist and writhe slightly, as if alive, their thorns glistening ominously in the moonlight. The gate is locked by powerful magic, and strange runes carved into the iron glow faintly under the silver moonlight, pulsing with an ancient energy.

  The Throne of the Pumpkin King

At the heart of the Dead Orchard lies a grand clearing, overrun with thorny brambles and illuminated by the pale light of the blood moon. At the center stands a throne made of twisted vines and massive pumpkins. The Pumpkin King himself sits upon it, a towering figure with a carved pumpkin head, his eyes blazing with malevolence.

Hi Josh! This adventure could easily be for a group of 4 to 6 adventurers at levels 1 to 4, which makes it suitable for introducing new players to the game. 🎃
