**Event Post** The Great Ghost Race: Events for 7/7-7/13

[highseasmods]

The Great Ghost Race is a time of oddities, strange weather patterns, unseen dangers and hidden treasures. You can expect something different every week.

Weather and Phenomena for the week of 7/7-7/13


Weather
(This is a world-wide effect, from sea to land to cloud islands.)

Starting mid-afternoon on Monday, the clouds will roll in, dark and dingy brown at first and around 2pm the sky will break open in a torrent of assorted vegetables, (carrots, onions, potatoes) etc. Fortunate crews may even end up with a very confused chicken or two. About 11pm on Tuesday, the wind will shift to the west and there will be a brief break in the vegetation agitation until around 5am when it will start to hail a mix of brussel sprouts and cabbages well into Wednesday afternoon.

After that is clear skies except for a brief unexplained swarm of frogs, early Saturday morning.

Phenomena
(Seas only. Up to you whether or not you encounter it.)

Whirlpools will open up unexpectedly in the western seas, threatening to crush any unsuspecting ship in the depths of the sea. In the South, throughout the week, Singers can be heard over the waves, ready to lure in unsuspecting sailors into packs of feisty bore sharks in the midst of a feeding frenzy.

Opportunities/Treasure

Those who sign up before 11:59pm EST on Thursday, (and pick a number between 1-100) will have a chance to be nearly nailed on Sunday by a fifty foot long angry, and slightly confused, kraken, plummeting from the sky. Flee if you can, but if you chose to fight it and kill it, you’ll be able to pry off the jewels that have been encrusted sporadically along its tentacles.
