====Spooky Sandcastle and the Sandmouse====

==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
The spooky season of Halloween is upon us and a mouse obsessed with the moon is plotting to bring nightmares to hunters in Gnawnia!
+
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
 +
 
 +
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.
  
−
The Sandmouse has constructed an elaborate Sandcastle in the heart of Gnawnia. The eerie glowing moon is conjuring images of the moon crashing into the Kingdom, causing nightmares for all who gaze upon the castle. The King needs the help of hunters to track down the Sandmouse and force the mischievous mouse to surrender.

'''Limited Edition Sandcastle Shard Trap'''<br/>

Completing the Capture the Sandmouse adventure rewards the Sandcastle Shard, an impressive Shadow trap with 3,000 Power and 12 Luck. The eerie magic of the Sandcastle Shard is especially in tune with the creepy Harvester Mouse in Zugzwang's Seasonal Garden.

−
To help light your path and find more treats each hunter has been issued a slightly spooky-looking flashlight! Turn on your Spooky Flashlight to trick or treat TWO treats with each hunt. You can also light your path to explore the Sandcastle quicker and save event cheese.
 
  
−
Each hunt you take with your flashlight on will consume a super high-quality Flashlight Battery. Batteries can occasionally be found as loot from mice at the Sandcastle. The burst of light emitted by draining an entire battery every 15 minutes can be quite intense -- make sure to never look directly into the light blast!

The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
