Gourdon the Rotten

DEFEATED

the pumpkin that would not stay carved

0 / 60,000 HP (0.0%)

October 1 to October 7 · Eastern

Who is this?

The patch behind the camp had a good year. Too good. Members were still trading recipes for the harvest when the first green seeped up between the roots, and by morning every gourd in the field had a face nobody had carved.

Gourdon was the biggest of them and the only one that stood up. It does not speak. It does not need to. It walks the rows at dusk, and every pumpkin it passes splits open and follows, and the ones that fall get up again wearing somebody else's grin.

Cut it down and it comes back rounder. Burn it and the seeds pop and take root where they land. The camp has worked out that the only thing that helps is to keep hitting it until there is nothing left worth carving.

Camp defenses: +60% No Sugar Rush. Eat a candy first.

Gourdon the Rotten has fallen (October 6). The fight is over.

The story so far

Chapter 1 DEFEATED

Gourdon the Rotten

the pumpkin that would not stay carved

Gourdon came apart in the middle of the field and the grins went out one by one, all the way down the rows. What is left is seed and pulp and a green stain in the soil that nobody wants to touch. The harvest is ruined. The camp is not. Somebody has already started carving a wall out of the pieces.
Chapter 2 DEFEATED

The Bone Broker

who sells what he steals

The Bone Broker came apart at the joints and the sack split with him. Everything he had taken is back on the grass, and so is everything he took from wherever he was before. The tier two patterns are in camp hands now and the forge can finally move past copper. The ledger burned. Nobody is sorry.
Chapter 3 DEFEATED

Mother Spindle

matron of the silk woods

Mother Spindle folded into her own web and the woods went quiet for the first time in a fortnight. The sheets are still out there, acres of them, and they belong to nobody now. The tailors have not stopped working since. Half the camp is wearing silk and the other half is queuing for a loom.
Chapter 4 LIVE

Sir Hollowmere

the knight with nothing under the helm

Sir Hollowmere walked up the camp road at dawn, stopped in the middle of it and has not moved since. He is waiting. The smiths understood what he was waiting for before anybody else did, and the forge has not gone cold in two days.
