It's a Harvest Moon tonight, the full moon nearest the autumnal equinox. There is a lot of power in a moon like that. Strange things come out at night. Dark, mysterious things. Vampires, werewolves, and LARPers gather in the woods to practice their secret rituals. You can hear them get lost because they all wear black at night and no one remembers to bring a flashlight. They remember to bring equipment that costs eight months of allowance, but not a flashlight.
Still, the light of the Harvest Moon is bright. If the creatures of the night do not impale themselves on their Ren-Fest gear, they will hunt you down. If you are caught, the only thing you can do is to drink a potion that adds +2 to you Constitution and +4 to Strength. The potion is called Boulevard Lunar Ale. Lunar Ale captures the magic of the Moon and bestows the characteristics of the wolf. Side effects do include the sudden growth of a mullet and fleas, but you will have the strength to push the demons down into the mud. You may even have an opportunity to take their lunch money.
