Why does nothing ever happen on Halloween?

A long time ago a pact was made between the Gods of Men and the Old God known as Sam Hain, God of Death, whose head is a pumpkin. Sam Hain vowed that the world of men would be spared his wrath, as long as they honoured his memory once a year on the night named after him.

On one night the lesser demons that plagued the world of men decided that they would unleash the old one on an unsuspecting humanity. They prepared a great ritual, a working of magic, and hundreds of their kind gathered to see the wrath of Sam Hain unbound.

This ritual was disrupted by the Slayer, an army of knights loyal to the Council of Watchers, and a group of Immortals, acquaintances of the Slayer, who wanted no part of a world overrun by demons.

The demons were slaughtered almost to the last. These monsters, the terror of mankind, were running scared as they feared for their lives. This single battle had so profound an impact on the demons of the world, that they made a pact of their own.

No matter what, nothing ever happens on Halloween.
