Hall of Paintings (Halloween 2012)

Location

This is in the Metroplex U area. In addition to the regular Hall of Paintings encounters, there were several Halloween 2012 encounters when first released. See Hall of Paintings for details on the regular encounters.

When first entering:

A small sign next to the door says "Please present ticket to guard," but there don't seem to be any guards around. You let yourself in.

The lobby of the museum is a massive hall, shielded from the elements by a thick layer of glass. A set of stairs go up, but have been taped off for the moment.

All the action seems to be down here on the first floor in any case. Students and people you sincerely doubt are students mingle among the paintings, rapidly depleting the party's supplies of punch and candy.

Combat Encounters

	Opponent	Encounter Text	Notes
	Skeletal Arms	To the side of the hall, away from the crowds, you come across a tombstone. Freshly carved words are etched into it. You bend closer to read them. Ah, "(a player's name) Lies Here. Rest in Peace." A skeletal limb bursts out from beneath the loose earth, grabbing your leg. AH! In moments, it's joined by two more, clawing at you and trying to tear away your life.
	Undead Tyrant	As you wander through the exhibits, a boring landscape unfolds, revealing a monstrous skeleton. Its roar echoes through your body as other partygoers scatter. You take a moment to be glad it's just an animatronic prop… until it takes a step forward, cracking the museum's tile underfoot. Or, if you are Dripping With Gore: As you wander through the exhibits, a footstep reverberates through the hall, followed by another. You turn to see a dinosaur skeleton, scraping the ceiling… and not listening to the sixty-five million years of extinction telling it to stay put. It raises its skeletal nose to sniff the air, then roars and charges. Oh God, it can smell blood. You've gained 20 energy of Primeval Terror.
	The Pumpkin King	In the flickering green light, you see the reflection of a jack o' lantern. You glance for the reflection's source, finding a gnarled creature, the embodiment of Halloweens past, looming over you. It reaches out with its gnarled claws, trying to draw you in. Lose 100 turns of Halloween Spirit	Only with 100+ turns of Halloween Spirit
