Turkey Farm
The farm event area opened up around 11am EST on Thanksgiving, It could reached by using the command{event goto 101 or event start 101. Once started players found themselves in the dinning room, a sign was later added giving instructions on what do.
Welcome to the turkey farm and homeless family event area! To start off the event, go east of here and talk to the farmer. He'll probably want you to round up and make a meal out of the turkeys that have escaped from their pens. As you're handling the turkeys, you may occasionally find colored feathers. These are valuable, and you can trade them in for prizes at the farmer or his wife. Once you've plucked and cooked a turkey, you may want to give it to the various homeless families found in the major towns and cities. Use the 'where homeless' command to find them. Good luck!
Going east from the dinning room, the players find another part of the house, with a kitchen like area and Robert the farmer. Talking to the farmer revealed further information.
You try to strike up a conversation with Robert the farmer... Robert the farmer doesn't appear to have anything interesting to say. Robert the farmer says, 'Some idget has been goin' around lettin' out all of the turkeys from the pens in the middle of the night.' Robert the farmer says, 'If ya could, go kill dem turkeys. Our turkeys have some odd feathers, different colors, ya hear? Bring them back ter me and I'll give ya what I can. I have lower level stuff to give out, my wife has the higher level stuff.' Robert the farmer says, 'I've heard a ruckus about some giant turkey roamin' about, but that isn't possible, there's no way in tarnation.' Robert the farmer says, 'Also, we have an oven. Feel free ter use that as ya please to bake dem turkeys. It's finicky, so I let the wife do the cookin'. I always burn it. Feel free to try to find some needy soul to feed if you'd like and keep some for yerself.'
During the first hour or so of the event the field was very crowded with many players trying to get the feathers, after a while it became clear that the chances of getting feathers and cooking turkeys were too low and were improved.
Giant Mutant Turkey
During the event the God's Morpheus and Gandor lead several group runs to kill a giant mutant turkey. The first run took place on November 27, 7pm EST, with players congregating from 6.45pm at a huge turkey pen (s 6e n from house in event area) and following Gandor.
7pm est run
Gandor lead players to a secluded section of field, when the players failed to kill the mutant turkey, Gandor stepped in.
Gandor says, 'Die, you mutant oversized turkey sandwich!

Combat tactics: Your attacks would do little damage against a giant mutant turkey's armor. Your armor will offer you some protection. Your ability to do damage far exceeds that of a giant mutant turkey. You use your knowledge of animals: A giant mutant turkey... Is probably somewhat vulnerable to spells. Is probably extremely resistant to fire. Is definitely extremely resistant to cold. Is probably extremely resistant to electricity. Is definitely extremely resistant to breath damage. Is probably extremely resistant to poison. Is probably extremely resistant to normal damage. Definitely is not vulnerable or resistant to magic. Petty thieving: You would stand a good chance of picking a giant mutant turkey's pockets without being noticed. You could steal a giant mutant turkey blind.
