Crows:
The skies crow cloudy, and the birds flying above seem to grow in number until you are surrounded by a thick swarm. Suddenly and without warning, they swoop down and attack.

Lord of Crows:

Mr. Scarecrow:
Once you’ve fended off the Lord of Crows, a nearby scarecrow that seemed harmless enough moments earlier will transform and come to a possessed life. Equipped with a scythe, it will cackle maniacally before taking swings at you all with its lethal blade. The swings are uncoordinated, but nonetheless very powerful. The scarecrow fights like a complete madman and is very unpredictable.- Enemy HP: 5x Hits of User Rank Damage

Pumpkin Patch King:
You’ve defeated the scarecrow and for a moment everything seems peaceful ... until the area around you begins to thicken with heavy fog. You hear a cold chuckle, and before you, the glow from a lantern appears in the mist. He emerges from the shadows, your final opponent, the Pumpkin Patch King. He releases bursts of dark energy at you and also has long nails laced with poison that he will attempt to claw you with, fighting ferociously until either he or you are defeated for good.- Enemy HP: 10x Hits of User Rank Damage

Cerise was actually a rather big fan of pumpkins, not only did they taste good with almost everything but they were also fun to look at. There were many times in her youth that she carved pumpkins grown in the local path, and while hers were never all that scary she still had fun doing it. With that being said, when the mysterious nationwide call to help with pumpkin picking came along, Cerise was one of the first in the guild to head out to assist with the effort.
There was someone else in the guild that agreed to help her with this effort, a woman by the name of Iris. She was younger than Cerise and blind, but that was all that she really knew about her. Of course, Cerise being the social butterfly that she is immediately agreed to, as having a chance to bond with members of her guild was one of her top priorities. They were originally going to go together, but circumstances and plans led to them agreeing on a time to meet instead.
The patch itself was very similar to what she had been around in her youth, albeit much, much larger. The local one she had was about as big as a backyard, while this one looked to be bigger than a park. Still, the fundamentals were the same, with symmetrical rows of perfect orange spheres accompanied by the occasional lantern on a pole to provide light. She even saw the occasional scarecrow here and there, probably to add a bit of personality to the otherwise bland farming area.
She figured that Iris would be here soon, and decided to wait at the entrance so that they could go in together. Her requip space was big enough for any and all pumpkins they would need to collect, so she made sure to make it known that they wouldn't need any wheelbarrows or other storage devices.
