Choice Text and Results
Unpack some candy
You unpack some boxes, finding them to be filled with candy. Well, at least it looks like that won't run out too quickly.
You've earned 4 XP in Strength
Look for fancy food
You unpack some more expensive crates and they do contain some more expensive foods: fresh fruit and tins of caviar. You get things broken down for the caterers to haul off.
You've earned 4 XP in Strength
Add a wriggling apple
You gingerly sneak a wriggling apple into the pile, alongside several of its normal kin.
You've earned 4 XP in Reflexes
Or, if not enough fancy food has been unpacked:
You set an apple out. It's kind of obvious with just candy around, but hopefully someone will fall for it.
You've earned 2 XP in Reflexes
Check the apples
You check over things, but don't find any sign of bad apples. You're still feeling a little paranoid, but it probably means they're actually fine… good news, really.
You've earned 4 XP in Perception
Or:
You track down a bad apple amid everything else. It's disgusting, moving in your hand, but at least now nobody will find it in a barrel.
You found: moving apple

Pocket something
Somebody's set some candy out! It's like trick-or-treating came early this year!

Leave it be
Yeah, isn't this supposed to be a fancy party? Unpacking crates sounds like work for plebians!
