This past Saturday, Vanquish held their 3rd Annual Halloween Event that included interests for just about everyone. From Costume Contests to PVP in Imperial City, Home decorating with a Trick-or-Treat event, and then winding it all down with a movie night as they watched Doctor Sleep through discord.
Our first event of the night was the Costume Contest that was held in Rellenthill, Summerset. With a back stage, participants were able to step out from behind the walls and strut their spook in front of the judges and audience. Participants were judged in three categories: creativity, originality, and use of mementos/emotes on a scale of 1 to 10. When called participants would strut across the stage and present their horrifying, or funny, creations. Some would use mounts to accent their characters. Three winners would be named with first place winning 750K in gold and 8 crown crates. Second place would win 500K in gold and 4 crown crates, and 3rd walked away with 250K and 4 crown crates. Winning the 2024 Halloween Costume Contest went out to Tavistock as Sally Stinkhorn for her creative use of reciting a poem, changing outfits as the poem dictated, and finalizing it up with a TOOT. 2nd place went to Whisky_Jak with her Doroty creation from Wizard of Oz. In 3rd place we had Duck win with his re-creation of Shell’s tank and the use of emotes like “biteme”. But that wasn’t all! With the submission from Benikat, the judges decided to award another place after she, and her mount and pet, portrayed Alice in Tamriel!
WINNER – SALLY STINKHORN (Tavistock)

2nd PLACE – DOROTHY (Whisky_Jak)

3rd PLACE – SHELL (Duck17)

4th PLACE – ALICE in TAMRIEL (Benikat)

After the Costume Contest we had our NIGHT OF THE DEAD as Vanquish headed to Imperial City in Undead Form. The first half of the event started in the sewers reaching Molag Bal. After, we headed to the city itself taking down some AD and EP while doing the daily quests. The intention was to devour the roaming bosses and leave death in the wake. With 2 groups, that is exactly what they did.
After an hour cleaning up the streets and bringing Vanquish Order to Cyrodiil City, our next event TRICK-or-TREAT was up. In the allotted time, we were able to visit 8 homes that were submitted for viewing. Though some had a few homes with different styles, only 1 from each participant would be submitted for the contest. Judging on those home will be done in discord by a community vote which will end this coming Friday prior to FNF. First place will take 750K gold and 8 crown crates, 2nd place is 500K and 4 crown crates, and then 3rd will be 250K with 4 crown crates.
Below is the list of homes with the top 3 being the ones submitted, followed by pics.
