<p>Mousevina has discovered a rare Soulstone capable of bewitching the minds of mice which she is currently using to defend her stronghold within the Haunted Terrortories. Various spooky mice from around the kingdom have fallen under her spell, and some have even dressed up for the occasion! Reaching her will no doubt be a spooky adventure, but your heroics will be rewarded! The Trapsmith at the Terrortories is especially interested in Mousevina's Soulstone. If you're able to capture her and acquire a Soulstone, be sure to visit the Trapsmith and see what secrets he can unlock!</p>

<p>Navigating the Haunted Terrortories will require a hunter to both trick and treat the mice there by hunting with Ghoulgonzola (trick) and Candy Corn (treat) Cheese.</p>
+
----
  
<p>Gathering trick and treat cheese in Gnawnia is a familiar tradition. Each day, hunters may visit up to 10 friends and receive some bait. Before you visit others, be sure to visit your own profile and choose what type of cheese you're handing out! If you find yourself getting low on cheese, you can also hunt at the Terrortories using Swiss, Brie, Gouda or SUPER|brie+ to attract Hollowhead Mice that drop Halloween Cheese. Additionally, you may find it inside Pumpkin Treat Baskets which you can send as gifts to friends!</p>

<p>After consulting the King's Arms, previously discovered Trap Skins (Ninja Ambush, Icy RhinoBot, Winter Clockapult, Grungy and Fluffy DeathBot) have been changed to be blueprints so that the unique traps they produce remain the mark of a true MouseHunt Trap Collector!</p>
 
<p>If you had any of the pre-existing trap skins you'll now find them as blueprints in your inventory that can be combined with the appropriate trap parts to create their respective traps.</p>
