An eerie glow has cast itself across the lands of Gnawnia...
 
  
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
====Bad Ship Rising...====
 
Our old friend Carl is back and he's really getting into the spooky spirit of things! Instead of touring Gnawnia on a cozy cruiseship, he's built a bunch of creepy, floating ghostships...? What a creepy guy! He's also sporting a rather convincing costume!
 
  
The ghostships have all picked a region in Gnawnia to haunt, spilling ghastly, ghoulish mice into otherwise ghost-free environs. Hunters will have to visit their favourite hunting location and help ground these ghostships!

====Bring Down the Ghostships====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
Several regions across Gnawnia have cursed ghostships disrupting the local mouse populations with spooky mice! Some locations are a bit different than the rest... These "haunted" locations seem to be the focal points for these visiting ghostships, and mice of an undead and otherwordly nature are invading these areas.
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
*When hunting in a "haunted" location with cheese you'd normally use in that area, mice will drop '''Ghastly Galleon Gouda''', which attracts the spooky mice of Halloween!
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
*Some of these mice carry '''Ethereal Cannonballs''', which hold the key to bringing down the ghostships.
 
*Defeated ghostships drop '''Lockbox Limburger''', an attractive cheese to high-ranked undead pirates!
 
  
When hunters have gathered Ethereal Cannonballs, they can hurl them at the floating ghostships in their region to slowly bring them down! Hunters can fire cannonballs at ghostships from any location where a ghostship is present.
+
----
  
When your cannon is armed with an Ethereal Cannonball, catching a mouse will damage the ghostship by the same number of points of the captured mouse! The more valued the mouse, the more damage your cannon deals. The ghostship they affect is based on the location from which hunters attack.

''{{date|23|April|2024}}''
  
For example, the Furoma Ghostship can be attacked from the Training Grounds, Dojo, Meditation Room, or Pinnacle Chamber. In that particular region, only the Dojo itself is "haunted". This means that Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs can only be found in that area, but cannonballs can be fired from any other location to bring down the regional ghostship.
+
<blockquote>
  
''Remember that you can fire Ethereal Cannonballs from any location where a ghostship resides! However, Ghastly Galleon Gouda and Ethereal Cannonballs can only be collected within the Haunted Ghostship Locations in these regions, listed below. Savvy hunters will save their cannonballs and hunt mice in the location worth the highest points, like the Master of the Dojo in the Furoma region, to bring down the ghostships even faster!''

Study hard to advance from Apprentice to Master at the School of Sorcery!
  
====Ghostship Rewards====
+
==== Classes have begun at the School of Sorcery! ====
When a ghostship is defeated, it’ll crash to the ground and explode into loot! Cover your eyes: Splintered Wood is sharp!
+
The Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it involves instructing the mice of the Folklore Forest in the ways of his malevolent magic!
  
The rewards provided are based on the region in which the ghostship was defeated. Expect to find gold, some basic and specialty baits, charms, and even items to help you in environments found within the region. You might find token packs for Furoma, Living Garden Essences, crafting items for Hollow Heights, and more!
+
The King needs the bravest and most studious MouseHunters, Viceroy and above, to enroll at the new School of Sorcery and teach the Mythweaver and his minions a thing or two about classroom etiquette.
  
In addition to regional loot rewards, hunters will find some Spooky Shuffle Tickets and Lockbox Limburger Cheese, used for hunting down the mysterious Captain Cannonball!
+
==== Enrollment Process! ====
 +
The Tale of the Sorcerer's Apprentice map piece can be purchased from the Bountiful Beanstalk Cartographer for '''1,000,000 Gold''', '''1,000 Golden Goose Eggs''', and requires completion of the Slay the Mythical Giant King adventure for any hunters who have yet to obtain it.
  
====Spooky Aura====
+
Alternatively, hunters who earned Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese during the Spring Egg Hunt can earn the map piece by hunting the M1000 at the Table of Contents.
Defeating a ghostship grants the Spooky Aura, which provides bonus loot and a 30% Power Bonus to your trap!
 
  
When the aura is active, hunters will receive...

Use Lockbox Limburger Cheese found by defeating ghostships in one of the "haunted" locations to attract this mouse and bring an end to his spine-chilling reign.
