At an unknown point before 2 October 2022, a player going under the pseudonym 'the Pumpkin Bandit', would rob the [[Bank (Oak Hills)|bank]] and all stores of [[Oak Hills]]. He would leave a message outside of the [[AFK Pool]], and leave blood trails (redstone) all across town. |

[[44cckw]] was the first player who noticed this, and would immediately notify [[raddicted]] and [[Norbert011]]. They would all gather around the AFK Pool and read a series of signs that the bandit had left. It was an attempt at extortion; the Pumpkin Bandit demanded diamond blocks, otherwise he would [[Grief|blow up the town]]. |

While visiting the town of [[Slimeball]], raddicted and Norbert discovered an abandoned campsite left by the bandit on 3 October 2022. The campsite contained a detailed series of signs, which said that 'they' had stolen their homes in the desert, and that the Pumpkin Bandit would recruit more [[pumpkinmen]] to his cause, and set up a permanent base of operations somewhere on the server. |

Around the same time, the extortion letter left by the bandit outside of the AFK Pool was destroyed by an unknown player. Wherever this was the Pumpkin Bandit removing evidence or if it was an unrelated grief, is unknown. |

On 11 October 2022, [[aella22]] would log on the server, and immediately report griefing at Slimeball. 44cckw and raddicted would warp to Slimeball to check it out, and found blood all over aella's house. This was confirmed to be work of the Pumpkin bandit, as the blood was similar to that found in the Oak Hills robberies. Luckily for the residents in Slimeball, no other crimes were committed, as all the chests was locked. 44cckw also showed the Slimeball campsite to aella, and suggested that she could repurpose it into something else. |

===Wither Town Well=== |

On 30 October 2022, [[TriKhazan]] would discover a lever at the [[Wither Town]] well. When switching it on, it revealed a secret base underneath the well, left by the bandit at an unknown time. 44cckw, raddicted, [[CalmCreeper360]] and Norbert011 would be alerted and joined in on the gathering. Another message would be found, saying that pumpkin bandit's army is not 'large enough to raid the server', and that he would enlist the help from 'the golem'. Chests containing random items such as redstone, string, wheat and other junk items would be riddled around the base. 3 sponges was also inside the base, meaning that the pumpkin bandit could potentially be either Norbert and raddicted, as those are the only know players on the server with sponges. |

Due to the pumpkinman not speaking up, Norbert would decapitate him with his sword. The giant pumpkin would be destroyed some time later after Halloween, though people found it very suspicious that the Pumpkin Bandit-follower hid inside Fin's build. Some theorized that the pumpkinman was attracted there due instinct, since it was a massive pumpkin. Calm however, believed that Fin and the Pumpkin Bandit could be working together. Norbert didn't think too much of it, and instead said they should be investigating the clue about 'the golem'. |
