The raid against the Spirit of Halloween is upon us and the heroes took no time getting to the BADGE orbital space station and are pounding out some heaping helpings of revenge onto their opponent.
In only THREE hours of battle, the Spirit of Halloween is down by 17% (These figures do carry a small degree of error, as the technology at the space station is still a bit wonky).
Strangely, Technological attacks seem to be faring the best against the spirit. Supernatural, Magical, and Elemental attacks seem to be weakened while purely Physical attacks are finding a high level of resistance.
Ooops, the BADGE scientist have put the damage dealt up to 18% now.
The current top 10 of damage inflictors is as follows:

It is fortunate that the heroes were so close and able to engage their foe quickly. I do worry that the Spirit of Halloween isn't completely finished with his tricks, though.
Has anyone been able to verify if the Ruby Shards have been found yet? How about Skelanimal? Is he still in his cell?
I will keep you informed on the progress as the battle continues.
5 Hours, 30 Minutes in:
The battle continues. The scientists have informed me that the readings on the Spirit of Halloween have dropped to 73% of maximum. Our heroes are making great progress.
Watching on the monitors here in the Operations Center, DETESTO ! and NMDZ KZAZ are working side by side with Fleagle to outflank the spirit. Someone is out their firing blasts of candy corn back into the eye sockets of the not-so-great pumpkin and shouting "HAVE THESE BACK. NOBODY LIKES THEM!!!"
Other heroes have this to say:
"Spirit of Halloween my butt. That scruffy-looking fart handler constipated tea-bag waffle never had a chance." - ƭɪɱє⏳ɦυɲƭєɾ «∞»

Many of the heroes are taking advantage of Ruby Shard #5 to boost their ability to recharge. There are times that a 5-Hour Energy or a Red Bull just don't cut it. I will freely admit that I am glad I am not part of the custodial crew. Can you imagine how long it is going to take to clean up after all of this? There is pumpkin spice EVERYWHERE!!!!
8 Hours, 30 Minutes into the raid:
Chaz Hamilton here once again, bringing the people down on Earth updated news on the heroic effort on that tiny speck of light that is the BADGE orbital space station. Heroes continue to engage the Spirit of Halloween down hallways, in elevator shafts, in the arboretum, through offices, and in laboratories. Our best estimates put the damage inflicted by heroes from all across the world and beyond at 37% below his estimated total at the beginning of this endeavor.
Krystal Fae seems to be in an exceptional frame of mind, avoiding her typical quips for intense magical attacks. She does still have that controversial ball gown on, so I have to wonder if her great fear might have been a wardrobe malfunction.
Here is the current standing of the ten most pumpkin pounding heroes:

Burgess Meredeath
Many members of the WMD - Black Order are in the top ranks, continuing to show why they have triumphed at League Wars: Haunted Heroes, but currently the top spot is held by an Avenger. (But the fourth spot is held by The Avenger, who is a member of the WMD - Black Order. It is getting to the point I don't know anymore.) A Horseman is in the number 5 and the number 9 spot. And in the number 10 spot is Burgess Meredeath. I think he is famous in Antarctica or something.
Will there ever be a day a 5th Precinct, Ghost Warrior, or Purple Onion league will make it to those numbers? I'll have to ask the team at SAS what their odds would be on that possibility.
I'll keep you updated on the overnight numbers, Sentinel readers. Stay safe.
