Giant pumpkins are scarier than normal pumpkins.

You see it.
The giant pumpkin monster roars. The ground shakes at the creature's bellow.
This, is really bad.
What do you do?
>>25661710
Run!
>>25661717
>>25661710
You jump onto the capsule with your mother and you RUN.
You roll down the hill, the monster pumpkin tailing you.
>"I CAN'T SEE!"
Jackie is holding onto Summer's face for dear life.
"JUST KEEP RUNNING!"
>"WHERE?"
You approach the town at considerable speed.
Where do you go?
Spices 'n Garnish
Gardener's garden
Floral Filler
Wood n stuff
>>25661759
We can't go to those places with this giant pumpkin chasing us. It'll put those places in danger.
Jump off when we get to Spices 'n Garnish, but have Summer keep running on our mom.
>>25661841
>>25661759
Wood n stuff. They probably have a mill there
>>25661869
What's the mill supposed to do for us?
At least with Spice place we might be able to get info on the pumpkin scare spice or whatever. Maybe see how we might counteract it or something.
>>25661759
Spices 'n Garnish.
We must control the spice. And by that I mean weaponize it.
>>25661913
>>25661899
But the adults are gone. The place could be empty.
>>25661938
I still fail to see how a lumbermill is more useful than a spice shop.
>>25661938
There'd still be spice. Hot spice we can throw in it's mouth.
>>25661960
Though actually now that I think about it there would probably be weed killer and the like at Gardeners Garden. Wouldn't that be the best place to head?
>>25662005
I'm willing to change my vote >>25661841 to go to the Garden.
I still say Summer should keep running though.
>>25662005
Gardener's seems like a safe bet.
>>25662091
>>25662047
>>25662005
>>25662354
>You think hard.
>The Wood n stuff could have a saw that you could use, Spices n Garnish could have some of that scared-y spice or whatever the other pumpkin as talking about, but Gardener's garden could have some kind of plant killer.
>Gardener's Garden it is.
>"GO RIGHT!"
>The pod veers to the right quickly. The pumpkin monster tries to turn with you, but it's moving too fast. It skids in the dirt before tripping over itself, causing it to roll. As you get near GG, you yell to Summer.
>"KEEP RUNNING AROUND WHILE I LOOK AROUND!"
>>"BUT I CAN'T SEEEEEE!"
>"JACKIE! YOU NEED TO BE HER EYES!"
>>"W-WHA-"
>"GOOD LUCK!"
>You hop off the pod and dash into Gardener's Garden.
>You rummage around the store's contents.
>Plants.
>Plants.
>Plants.
>Is there anything else in this store besides plants?!
>You trip over a large metal container. On it's side there's a
>"Plant Death"
>Wow, they really don't beat around the bush huh?
>Looks like this could be helpful, but there's no sprayer.
>There's one of those weird diamond things you see on propane tanks and stuff. You don't know what they mean though.
>>25662354
>>25662379
Roll the nice canister of death carefully into the path of the pumpkin. It looks rounded.
>>25662379
Grab tank, run out side.
We're gonna lure the pumpkin in close, then open the valve and hurl the tank at it.
>>25661706
Fuck this trash and get back to the real quest you piece of shit
>>25662417
>>25662393
You carefully roll the canister of Plant Death out of the shop.
Summer and Jackie can be heard yelling at each other as the monster chases them around town.
You already used your levitation spell, so you can't throw the canister at the pumpkin. You CAN however roll it into the path of the pumpkin. But how do you lure the pumpkin close?
>>25662379

That shit isn't just plant death.
It's pretty much everything death.
>>25662601
We yell insults at it of course.
>Pumpkin? More like Pumpcan't!
>>25662640
>Capable of detonation or explosive decomposition
uh
>Short exposure could cause serious, temporary or moderate residual injury
uhhh
>Will rapidly or completely vaporize at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature
UHHHH
>>25662601
Get Summer's attention and get them to roll over to you. When they're coming at us, have summer swerve out of the way like last time and have the pumpkin roll into the death ball.
>>25662695
They call it plant death for a reason
nips
it's december now, nips
halloween was over a month ago
>>25662695
it's a good thing there's nobody else in town right now, huh?
except the other fillies, but I've forgotten where they are
um, so let's remember where the other kids are before we blow this giant pumpkin up with this highly volatile chemical so we can do it as far away from them as we can
no sense in rescuing all the adults if all their children died in a horrible chemical fire
>>25662744
"Blow up the children" sounds like a really rad death metal band
>>25662744
Nah don't worry about it it'll probably be fine.
>>25662778
that's easy for you to say, but imagine being released from a nightmare inducing pumpkin pod to find that your child or younger sibling had their cute little face melted off in a horrible pesticide explosion
you would wonder if you were still in the pod
>>25662893
It'll be fine though. Just fine.
>>25662909
JUST.
FINE.
>>25662640
>>25662649
>>25662698
You start yelling in the direction of the noise.
Soon, Summer and Jackie round the corner.
"HEY! IS THE MONSTER STILL-"
The Pumpkin crashes against the side of a house, still chasing after them.
It's a good thing earth pony houses are strong.
You place the container of plant death in the middle of the road.
As they reach you with the pod, you yell,
"GO LEFT!"
They veer out of the way and into Gardener's Garden.
Alright now to-
The monster is barreling towards you. At the last moment, you jump out of the way.
You hear a gulp as the pumpkin swallows the canister. It tries to slow down, but again, it skids in the dirt, tripping over a rock.
The pumpkin goes flying.
The next moment is filled with a loud BOOM noise as wind blasts at your face. A huge mushroom could towers into the sky.
"All RIGHT! We GOT HI-"
A glop of pumpkin smacks into you.
Gross.
What do you do now?
>>25663701
Damn
>>25663701
Check on Jackie and Mom.
>>25663701
Clean ourself off and find a way to open the pod, a hose to wash the spice off, and a towel to dry her before she catches a cold.
>>25663701
Take a moment to memorize this view forever, because that was the coolest. Then we should head back into Gardeners and see if they had a mask for handling that stuff. We can use it to stay safe while we pop the pod.
>>25663701
>>25663715
>>25663752
>>25663770
>>25663833
You head back into GG to check up on mom and the gang.
Upon crashing into the store, the pod had broken open, which was good.
Your mom still lay paralyzed due to the spice, but still, you were on a roll.
Finding a hose, you sprayed off the spice. Porridge found a towel and some blankets to help her dry off. Summer found some coffee in the back of the store. Pumpkin spice, but your mom didn't seem to care.
After drying off, you sit in front of her.
"Are you okay?"
>"Uhhhhhh... I'm a bit confused."
"Well, some pumpkins kidnapped you and were using your fear to power a bigger pumpkin. I think. But after we got you out we were chased by a big pumpkin so I blew it up."
She tilts her head in confusion.
>"And you blew up the big pumpkin out there?"
"One of em, yeah. There's another big pumpkin inside the hill I think. It's where the other adults are."
>"Other adults?"
"Yeah. They kidnapped all the adults only."
>"Wh-"
"We don't really know why either."
>"Well, what happens now?"
"Hmmm."
What do you do?
>>25664196
Find a way to free the rest and punish the bad pumpkins.
>>25664196
Wait for mom to recover then ask her for advice. She's a super witch, she can probably do something.
>>25664196
We're gonna need more spells from mumzy. Then we're heading for the adults. We could try roping some more kids into coming. There's nothing more scary than a gang of kids.
>>25664196
There's an adult lookin' pumpkin guy with a big staff that's orchestrating this. We should probably find him and nab his staff.
>>25664263
This. Lets start with taking a moment to check the people around and see if we can get mom to help us with more spells.
This is still gonna be our fight, though, mom's prolly out of commission for a bit.
>>25664238
>>25664263
>>25664264
"We might need your help for some things."
>"Honey, I don't think I can do a darn thing in my current state."
"Well, what if we wait-"
>"For a while."
"Shoot. Well, I have another idea then. Why don't we get all the kids and just STORM the place?"
Summer interjects.
>"Will they go though? They might be scared."
Porridge laughs.
>"There's nothing scarier than a gang of rowdy children."
>"Well, okay, but how do you get them to go? Do we even know where everyone is? Do you think we can get everyone with us in time before whatever the big pumpkin guy wants to happen, happens?"
She has a good point. Where are the rest of the kids?
Jackie raises her... leaf.
>"I vote to not fight the big p-pumpkin."
"I veto that."
>"A-aww."
"Wait, what about you? Do you have any suggestions?"
>"H-"
"No we aren't going to run away."
>"N-no."
Hmmmm, you could look for that tall guy's staff. Maybe it did something important.
Do you head back to the patch to look for the staff?
>>25664380
Do we still have our disguises?
>>25664380
Hell yeah.
>>25664380
Sure I guess.
>>25664380Nips pls
>>25664403
>>25664418
>>25664433
Back at the patch, a path of squashed pumpkins is left in the wake of the larger pumpkin that you rolled down the hill.
Also, the staff is broken. Great.
"Is this bad? I think this is bad."
Summer pokes at some gourd remains.
>"I dunno. Maybe it's a good thing?"
"That's probably wishful thinking. Soon it'll be raining frogs or something because we broke it."
>"What if nothing happens?"
As if on cue, a voice calls out from behind you.
>"HEY!"
Of course.
You turn to see the tall pumpkin guy yelling at you.
>"DID YOU DO THIS?!"
"Uhh..."
>"YOU DID! URRRGH! YOU HAVE BROKEN THE STAFF! NOW THE PUMPKING WILL NEVER RISE!"
He holds up your disguise.
>"DESTROYING MY PUMPLINGS WAS ONE THING, BUT HOW COULD YOU DESTROY SUCH A LIFE AS THIS!?"
"What?"
>"EXPLAIN YOURSELF! OR FACE THE WRATH OF THE STRAWMAN!"That's it for tonight. Se you all tomorrow!
>>25664380
>>25665511
I was trying to get the Adults out of your torture chambers you psycho.
>>25665511
Put on that pumpkin mask.
That life wasn't destroyed, see?
>>25665511
Dude, like, you roll into our town, and just go snatching up all the adults? All for some nasty spice trap that ruins their dreams?
Not cool bro, not cool. You talk about destroyed life, but what about their lives man? I mean sure it's boring adult stuff, but still, that's what they like.
And the kids bro. All waking up cold and alone this morning. That was rough man.
And c'mon, lets get real here. It's great that you and your pals are smart and all, but don't go pretending like that's not just a vegetable I made a dumb face on you're holding.
You need to take a step back dude. Look at the bigger picture. You're spoiling our lives and we're spoiling yours too. Nobody wins in the end.
Wouldn't it be better if we were friends?
bump for actually panicking over pumpkins.
>>25667661
Truly, we are.
Nips I know you're in there.
Why didn't you update.
>>25676314
It's over, Anon
Nips fix your shit.
pumpkins are for bully
>>25666033
Sounds like a nice speech
>>25678454
Yes
Nips, either finish PP or drop it entirely.
Fuck.

>>25690516
If we let this die I wonder what he'll do
>>25691611
who knows
>>25691611
he'll assume this one is dead and start a completely new quest
>>25692482
another one?
