#9 Christmas!

Christmastime!!!!!! 

The party noticed it snowing (roughly mid June) as they left the Redwood Forest. Emmley noticed tracks going to and from every city, with a small blood trail leading back to the south. They followed the blood trail that led them back to......... Schrute Farms. After following the trail to the basement of the farmhouse, they came to a huge opening with Christmas themed monsters roaming around, burning and carrying bodies. They followed the small path to a tiny corridor, and as they entered through the corridor, Emmley was the last to go through. As she passed the christmas tree, she was smacked by one of the branches, starting the encounter with the cursed christmas tree and the mimic presents. 

In the next room was a hoard of evil elves (redcaps). The following room had a crooked spined creature in a Santa coat. Krampus. 

The party engaged with Krampus and he ended up throwing Rogar in his sack. Emmley then attempted to cut the strap with her daggers to release Rogar, but instead released 12 goblins and Rogar. Behind Niamh was a holding cell in which she could hear banging coming from, and eventually Santa came out to assist. 

 

Santa ended up failing his saves and thrown in his sack as well. 

After clearing the room, Santa was released. 

They wanted to fight one of the Gelatinous Fruitcake Cubes, so I threw one of those at them and gave them a fruitcake for their efforts.

Merry Christmas! Krampus ate your kids.
