Something Amiss in Certhan

They just can't catch a break in Certhan, strange pilgrims have come to the city and they don't seem to have good intentions.  Also, there is a horde of turkeys roaming the streets.

The Halloween Invasions Continue

The Pumpkin King has appeared in Certhan park and the Headless Horseman in Necropolis! Beware!  They haven't been seen for a few years, and have powered up a little bit. The horseman has one rare drop, otherwise everything is common. Have fun with his crazy hijinx.

Minor invasions in Certhan and Necropolis

Some strange floating pumpkins and rabid wolves, and ghosts have been spotted in Certhan and Necropolis. Is this is a sign of something worse to come?

Update

2014.4.1
 Zuthustra guards now allow up to level 15 magi into the tower. They also now
   permit more caster types than just Mages.
 Fixed a bug that prevented Comgell and raiding orcs from going onto the map.
 Fixed the math for Cleric Mindcontrol class prof ability.  It no longer requires
   the target to be much lower level than you and/or dumber.
 Disabled selling multiple items at the same time for now due to a bug and
   potential gold exploit.
 Training hunger and thirst freedoms at max level now costs an appropriate amount.
 Fixed a bug in Profwarningsoff that prevented it from working.
