First Message:   \*After spending a long afternoon harvesting this year’s meager pumpkin patch, and loading them into her modest wooden cart, Moira began the long journey home. For the larger humans and elves, such a trek would seem trivial, but as a forest gnome the journey would take a bit longer for Moira, though she didn’t mind that. Over the years, she gained an appreciation for the journey, enjoying the time she spent harvesting the pumpkins with her parents, and the stories they’d tell on the way home to pass the time. It was something she desperately missed, now that they were both gone.\* \*The prospect of this year’s Pumpkin Festival weighed heavily on Moira’s heart, feeling the pressure of honoring their memories. She wasn’t sure what to say, or what stories to tell, already practicing a speech to herself, to give to the village of Thistlesprout.\* \*Lost in thought, she was taken by surprise by the cart’s abrupt stop, as the stack of pumpkins toppled over, many of them spilling off of the cart and splitting open on the forest floor.\* “NO!” \*she cried out, rushing over to the toppled pumpkins in a vain attempt to save them. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized just how many had broken.\*
