Booth Activities
Bottle Blastin’
Your favourite semi-retired salesman and the friendliest Forsaken in Fence Macabre, Billy Highman returns to run Bottle Blastin’ at this year’s Haunted Hootenanny! Make sure to get your name down on our list of competitors - this fan favourite has fierce competition, limit of 30 people per faction.
The competition is divided into two sections: preliminaries and finals. Signups will be cut-off fifteen minutes after the start of the activity, or when the signup cap is reached - whichever comes first. Each raid group will then have people come up to shoot in groups of six, working their way down the list from top to bottom. Each member of the group will take one shot. If they pass, they move onto the next round. If they fail, they’re eliminated. This continues until only six contestants remain between Alliance and Horde, moving onto the finals.
Hog Wrasslin’
Fence Macabre’s beloved truffle sniffer and intruder headbutter returns to this year’s Hootenanny! If you’re wanting to test both strength and skill, come try your luck against the toughest and cutest Undead hog in the Eastern Kingdoms! The ever friendly Velvet will get you ready to go, and make sure you get your prize. No need to sign up in advance, just drop on by with a good attitude and be ready to try your best!
Remember, Popcorn’s family to us and she’s real fierce - underestimate her and you’re bound to get hurt! Your job is to catch her, but you can’t hurt her: no weapons, no magic, no outside items or help.
Chuck Wagon Vittles
Well it wouldn’t be a proper party without some grub! Chortlerip and Taoln are preparing a delightful array of dishes for our living companions, while our Undead friends will doubtlessly enjoy our offerings from The Bloated Rat. With a range of drinks for dead and living alike, we asked none other than The Squeaky Wheel to send over some of their favourites. Come out and enjoy the buffet, where members of the Fence will be happy to get you sorted with your snacks.
Hallowed Whispers
Silverpine is full of secrets, and yours could well be added to them. Bakuzan Burlycloud will be available all night. Your conversations will be private: just you, her, and her plants.
Fence Warehouse
The Haunted Hootenanny 2020 Warehouse is a special event for both our customers and our merchants. During the warehouse, ALL items from ALL participating merchants will be up for sale: we normally only bring a selection of wares to each market, they’re difficult to transport after all! Silverpine’s own Sheriff, Remington Thornbolt will be handling the delivery and placing of your others alongside Fence’s artist in residence, Calria Dawnbrook.
Prop up your feet, grab your beverage of choice, and get to reading! Our menu’s expansive and we’re looking forward to receiving your orders. To pick up for order at the Hootenanny, you must place it before October 3rd. Orders placed on October third will be delivered to you ICly up to a fortnight after the Hootenanny’s conclusion.

Potion Roulette
Fence’s resident Apothecary, Loira Winford is opening her potion stores for this game of chance. Want to breathe fire? Float above the ground? Look like someone else? Be sure to stop by Potion Roulette, where Zori is eagerly waiting to meet you and Loira is… well, she’s there too.
All potions on offer are safe for consumption by both living and dead, and all effects are temporary. As this is a game of chance, we don’t know what potion you might get! That’s the chance you take when you try Potion Roulette. Thanks to our friend at Hollowlight Ventures for use of their system!
Tombstone Tales
Tombstone Tales are back at this year’s Haunted Hootenanny! Our favourite Ink-slinger, Ryeolan Quillsong will be overseeing the sharing of your spook stories and ghastly tales! Taking place in the Fence’s barn, we promise that the spirits aren’t your imagination. Silverpine is quite haunted, and the Respite is no exception. If your tale is Ryeolan’s favourite, there’s a lovely prize in it for you: an illustrated scene from your story!

Square Dancin’
Spinning spooky tracks that’ll get you down on the dance floor (or dance field, in our case), resident moonshine brewer Old M.C. Donald returns for the second year in a row! Forget your glowsticks? Not to worry, we’ve got plenty.
Frequently Asked Questions
"I’m Alliance, or from X Server, can I come?"
Yes, absolutely! Fence Macabre is a neutral guild and, as such, this is a neutral event. Everyone is welcome to attend. However, do keep in mind that Fence Macabre is primarily comprised of Forsaken: if your character would have a problem with that, or if the’re die-hard military and strongly opposed to the opposite faction, this isn’t the place for you.
When does this take place?
Our 2020 date is Saturday October 3rd. The event runs from 6:30-9:30pm server, and will begin promptly. You’re welcome to stay as long as you like afterwards!
Is there anything I shouldn’t do in Silverpine Forest?:
(IC) If you are a scarlet crusader or adhere to Scarlet-like ideology, you will be shot on sight. You will not be buried.
(IC) If you cause a ruckus, harass people, or are disrespectful to attendees or the hosts during the event, you will be walloped and thrown out. Don’t be that person.
(OOC/IC) Be respectful of the speakers. Hard work has gone into their stories, and talking while they’re trying to tell them is extremely disrespectful and rude. Don’t be that person having a full-blown conversation while everyone’s trying to listen to the speaker. Reactionary emotes are welcome and encouraged. But keep unrelated conversations and emotes during storytelling in party chat or in whispers.
