Happy Lunar New Year from Spacetime!

This year we have an all new event lined up for you:

Backstory

The good people of Vardan Valley were all set to join the Lunar New Year festivities in Brackenridge when along came Kil'Joy the Goblin.
Kil'Joy the Goblin, enemy of joy, a confirmed master of disguise, appeared to the villagers in the visage of a feeble old merchant driving an immense empty wagon.
He drove is big rickety wagon to the center of town, interrupting the Mayor's 'Lunar New Year' address to the townsfolk (which is mostly about how to avoid injury on the long walk to Brackenridge).

Kil'Joy's illusory 'dying old man' begged the villagers to load their firecrackers and pig pets and red envelopes onto his wagon.
He too was heading for Brackenridge to celebrate the new year.But he was alone. Lonely and unwanted. Without family. Without a purpose - this joyful celebration would surely be his last.
"Let me take part in your joy. Fill my wagon that I may help you on your journey. Please? Let my life have purpose... one last time," he groveled with tears welling up in his ancient eyes.

"Fine," said the Mayor. "That's just fine. You know it is a very long road and a whole lot to carry."
The smitty nodded sternly and bellowed, "Aye! Surely this good and wise old man isn't going to steal from us."
"Yes!" the tavern maid sung in agreement. "It's been nearly a full year since we've had even the slightest whiff of trouble. Let's do it!"
And so they did! The villagers of Vardan Valley loaded their wares upon the old man's wagon. Every egg, every envelope, every painted mask, every shining Arcanite vanity and shoved it aboard the old man's wagon.
"See ya at the Tavern," the old man cackled as he drove off. "Happy New Year... suckers!"

It doesn't take that long for the people of Vardan Valley to realize that they had been scammed.
So they send their Sheriff to track down Kil'Joy (and get help from Arlorian heroes if necessary).
