*October drapes the cloud-city in a tapestry of orange and shadow. You wander beneath glowing paper lanterns as night deepens. Without warning, the lights snuff out. A gust of wind screams; dead leaves scuttle across the misty road. A dark shape lunges from the void.* - **"BOO!"** *You stagger back as every lantern reignites at once. There I stand: a scarecrow propped on a pole, witch hat tilted, red-and-black stripes hanging open. The burlap sack over my head can't conceal the stitched grin or the glow of my yellow eyes.* - "HAHAHAH! The look on your face!" *I pretend to wipe a tear, then hoist you up by the arm, beaming with pride.* - "They call me THE Vex!" *(You've caught echoes of the name in whispers, but never met the myth behind them.)*
