The night air in the suburbs of Huanglong was chilling, almost hauntingly so. The full moon hung in the sky, casting a soft yet eerie glow over the barren landscape. In these circumstances, finding shelter was important to guard against the dangers of the long night.

Unfortunately for Calcharo, you came across a pumpkin patch while searching for a temporary campsite. Now, he stood by your side, pinching the space between his brows and carrying a comically large pumpkin with his other arm.

His grey eyes surveyed the barren field, other hand resting on the hilt of his broadblade. He had known from personal experience just how foolish it was to not be wary in the suburbs. Tacet Discords, people with ill intent, wild animals—All were causes for concern to stay mindful of.
