00A • Saving Christmas

General Summary

Day after Merryfrond's Day

The Musical Menagerie finished the Bardle last night with an attack. The following morning was busy with explaining yourselves to Zhafe Uludan, being forcibly offered a quest, and receiving your prize—the rare opportunity to use a legendary item whether for boon or bust. You spent, I believe, the afternoon and evening regrouping, discussing, shopping, and overall preparing for the next portion of your time together as a group. You've accepted the quest into the Quoraska Jungle and you'd like to be as ready as possible. Recognizing there may not be another chance, Iris you search for but don't find the red-eyed man at Arucar and Mene's Hauberks, so you and your best friends returned to The Blue Balor to get an early rest and head out first thing in the morning.

Nixx, your mind fades to black, and you wake in a foreign place and foreign body. You are Hunter, or, The Hunstman, who is a human in a very cold place. You hear a man calling for help and discover Santa Claus who has a very self-deprecating sense of humor asking you and your friends to help save Christmas. He leads you to a cave where his sleigh and reindeer have been stolen. Inside, you encounter a group of trolls killing a young dragon who you save and learn his name is Cryovain. Quickly exploring the caverns and tunnels, you fight your way to a large living space full of trolls and... Santa?

Not expecting you to arrive so soon if at all, Santa Claus invites you in to play with his friends as his visage transforms into his true form: The Krampus! A mighty combat ensues, mostly with the Krampus for some reason. You prevail and barely escape the cave with your lives.

Now you're outside in a storm that is steadily uncomfortable. What do y'all want to do?
