Hares: Fiendish Video Endoscope and 20 Cauldrons of Piss
What to bring: $6.9 hash cash; Oktoberfest outfits; Warlock garb; jokes about October, Germans, and/or magic; ritualistic incantations; an Objects of Power (see list below)
This year, the Almanac is calling for a mild winter so we at Von Tramp are taking action to change that prophecy by calling upon dark forces beyond our comprehension. And with the Autumnal Equinox only days away, now is the perfect time to communicate with extraplanar entities.
Through extensive research that involved countless hours spent in musty library basements, reading the entirety of Obscure Vermont, and a confusing conversation with someone who manages the Burlington Historical Society in Connecticut, your hares have uncovered a slew of paranormal hot spots throughout the South End area. By performing a series of rituals at each of these locations with the help of the pack, we aim to bring about a winter full of snow and ice that hasn’t been seen since the Blizzard of 1888.
To complete the rituals, the pack will need to have at least one of each of these Objects of Power on hand with them from the start of trail:
A sheet of paper
A rubber duck
A lucky coin
A cut flower
A sticker
A hand
A stick
A rock
More than one of each item is allowed and you are free to bring as many as you’d like. These items will be sacrificed, so don't bring anything you're not willing to leave behind.
Afterwards, to celebrate our hopefully successful conjuring we will then dance, sing, and yell PRÖST in the traditions of the old country at Vermont’s own Oktoberfest celebration happening near the Barge Canal Market. Or just meet us there. Make sure to get your tickets ahead of time because you never know if they’ll sell out.
