Jack O'Lantern has bad history with the old Henderson farm, and John Wolf has seen him skulking around the pumpkin patch from time to time. He wants nothing to do with him, but won't stop the curious from finding out more.
Dialogue
Intro
John Wolf:
- The key to a long life is, apparently, to sit like a tortoise, walk like a pigeon, and sleep like a dog.
- I have trouble with the first two, but I can sleep through anything. Even here.
- Word travels fast in this place, and the word is you’ve met Jack O'Lantern.
- I’ve seen him down near the rides, mostly at night.
- He's drawn to this place like the bear to the honey jar.
- He's got history with the farm, before it got turned into an amusement park.
- Bad history.
- But I keep out of his way, and he keeps out of mine.
- My battle's not with Jack. He's all yours, kemosabe.
- You'll want to watch out for the will-o'wisps, they're a good sign you're getting close.
- That, and the pumpkins.
- After meeting the melon-headed freak face-to-vegetable, I lost my appetite for pumpkin pie.
- I just keep seeing an eye in there.

Report
Dragon
The times turn Jack the Lad into a pitiful figure. The local horror story - the one children have long been taught to fear - must now accept that he is not the only terror in town. And certainly not the greatest.
There are no children now, and skipping through Archie Henderson's farm is hardly the worst you can do at night.
We do not mind playing Jack's old nightmare game. However, there is little room for pity in the world of chaos. The next time you play with Jack, consider his misery and make it the last.
Illuminati
Archie Henderson will always be the one who got away. We found him in Edinburgh in 1863. You can't imagine how pissed the Templars get when we recruit talent out of Britain.
We shipped him to the Academy and taught him to harness his powers. Frankly, he was beyond harnessing.
Jack the Lad - a farmhand in the wrong pumpkin patch at the wrong time. Now he's the lasting legacy of what Henderson could do.
Misdirected potential makes me sick. Next time you see Jack, kill him. Again.
Ciao-ciao
Templar
Not to worry, we shall see Jack the Lad again. He cannot run forever. Nor can he run very far. He is a decidedly local phenomenon. Madder members of the town even petition to protect him, citing everything from local heritage to pumpkin purity laws.
A mere victim of Archibald Henderson, they say.
You may do your best to mitigate Jack’s centuries-long terror spree, though I understand if you have other priorities on the island.
By the way, you have other priorities on the island.
