Trick Or Treat was a new Simucoin activity at Ebon Gate 2020 on Caligos Isle.

Rewards

There were multiple awards available with each Trick Or Treat:

  • Seashells
  • Candy
  • Treasure Trove raffle tokens
  • Undead creatures to kill

Candy

One of the rewards of Trick Or Treating was candy. Candy could be eaten, or combined with other candies of like type for rewards. Candy can be gathered in special paper bags.

Analyze of paper bag:

You analyze your black paper bag and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a special container, designed to hold candy from Ebon Gate's Trick or Treat activity.  It can be used by anyone in your household, but it will be useless to others.  The first time you put a piece of candy into the bag, it will attune.

Candy can be placed into the container, regardless of how many bites it has, but you can only retrieve one piece at a time.

Alterations are fine, as long as the container retains a foldable top and remains suitable to hang from or hook onto a belt/waist item.  This item will not support a SHOW description.

USAGE:
DROP    - Put a piece of candy into the bag.
LOOK    - Standard response; LOOK IN bag will show the compartment contents.
OPEN    - Open the bag.
CLOSE   - Close the bag.
TURN    - Set a candy focus (forward).
PULL    - Remove a piece of candy (whichever has focus from TURN or PUSH).
PUSH    - Set a candy focus (backward).

This item cannot be lightened or deepened.

Looking in a bag with candy in it:

The black paper bag appears to be a very sturdy and spacious container despite its seemingly small size.  Evenly spaced compartments line the interior.

A more thorough investigation inside the bag reveals the following:

The bag's compartment labeled, "a wrapped piece of candy," is currently wide open.

Analyze of some dried fruit (a type of candy):

You analyze your dried fruit and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is some dried fruit from Ebon Gate's Trick or Treat activity.

Combine identical candies (up to 3 bites) to the next tier, and turn the candy in for a prize, or continue to combine them for higher tiers (up to Tier 5).  There are no prizes for Tier 1 candies, so those must be combined.  Tier 5 candies cannot be combined and must be turned in for their associated prize.

This dried fruit is Tier 1, and it has 1 bite.


USAGE:
BREAK: Remove a piece of candy from a bundle.
BUNDLE: Combine identical candies (Limit 2, since 3 bumps to the next tier; not eligible for Tier 5 candy).
HUG: See the list of available rewards.
NUDGE: Turn in the candy for a prize.
TWIST: Open a piece of wrapped candy.
WAVE: Convert your treat to edible candy.  (NOTE: This will remove the ability to either BUNDLE or NUDGE.)

You get no sense of whether or not the fruit may be further lightened.

HUGging a piece of candy will give you what rewards can be had by combining candies:

One piece of Tier 2 through Tier 5 candy can be turned in to receive one of the following.  (Specific candy results in a specific item.)
