As you're setting off for some Trick or Treating, a woman in long black robes and a pointy hat swoops down out of the sky on a broom, cackling evilly. She lands nearby and waves at you. "Greetings to you, fellow witch!"

"Er, hi," you say. She initiates some kind of complicated secret handshake, which you follow along with as best you can. She seems reasonably satisfied.

"How are you on brew?" she asks. "Can't get any good witching done without some brew on hand."

"Uh, well, actually I'm fresh out of brew..."

"Oh no problem dearie, I always carry around a few spare flasks." She digs around in her massive handbag and pulls out a black thermos with a cheerful little orange jack-o-lantern sticker on it. "Here you are!" she says, smiling pleasantly and handing it to you.

You thank her politely, and she climbs back onto her broomstick and waves goodbye as she flies off, with her head leaned forward so her pointy hat cuts the wind resistance.

Unfortunately, the breeze blows your hat off and it rolls away. Oh well. thermos of brew You acquire an item: thermos of brew

As you're heading off to perpetrate some Trick or Treating, a little kid runs up to you. "Grandpa?"

"...What?"

"I knew it! You are the ghost of my dead Grandpa! He used to say "...What?" just like that! He always had a bedsheet over his head, too. Mommy never told me why. What's it like to be a ghost, Grandpa?"

"It's, uh... it's okay, I guess."

"Are you lonely? Grandma says she'll see you soon!"

"Will she? Well, that's nice. Oh wait, I mean..."

"Wait here one sec, I'll get your bedtime medicine for you!" The kid runs off, and comes back a minute later with possibly the biggest snifter of brandy you've ever seen. Grandpa liked his booze, it seems. "Okay, I gotta go Trick or Treats now!" the kid says. "Could you put the sheet back on the clothesline when you're done with it? Mom probably won't like it if you take it with you to Hey Deez."

The kid waves and runs off, and you hang the sheet on a nearby washline, a little weirded out. giant glass of brandy You acquire an item: giant glass of brandy

You head off for some Trick or Treating, trying not to think too hard about the fact that you can still see with a bag over your head. I mean, it is an invisible bag, after all.

Suddenly, a man in tights and a gigantic ruffled collar runs up to you with a shocked expression on his face. "Sacré bleu! Mes yeux me trompent-ils? C'est le fantôme u Roi Louis!"

"...Huh?"

The man collapses to his knees in front of you, sobbing. "My liege! Your terrible execution, it has filled me with such grief and despair! I cannot concentrate, and I fear that my work suffers!" He holds up a plate of fancy-looking hors d'oeuvres. "Taste these canapés, sil vous plait! Tell me that they still have all the saveur of when I cooked for you in the palace!"

As you take the plate from him, he gasps and covers his mouth with one hand. "Zut alors! Quelle horreur! You have no mouth with which to taste the canapés, but only a cou-trou in which to put them!" He jumps to his feet and runs away shrieking, "No one shall taste my cuisine again! Aaiiieeeee!"

What an odd person. You take the invisible bag off your head to sniff at the plate -- it smells okay. Pretty good, even. Unfortunately, you lose the bag and can't manage to find it again. Damn. fancy canapés You acquire an item: fancy canapés
