Choice Text and Results
Help out
You help one of the teams roll up some monstrous snowmen. It's good exercise and you're able to creep them out with your excess of inspiration.
It seems like one of them dropped a soggy scrap of paper, but nobody claims it.
You found: snowy receipt
You've earned 2 XP in Strength
You've earned 2 XP in Will
Look at snowmen
You wander through the display, taking a look at the arrayed snowmen. Most of them are pretty bland, but a couple are actually kind of scary.
You've earned 2 XP in Perception
You've earned 2 XP in Will
Or
You wander through the display, taking a look at the arrayed snowmen. There are some scary ones, but the vast majority are adorable little ones.
They make it pretty hard to feel threatened.
You've earned 2 XP in Perception
You've earned 4 XP in Will
Or
Deep in the throng of snowmen, you find a rather nice top hat. It's fallen to the ground and powdered with snow, but it's hard to say which snowman it came from.
You found: silk top hat
Sing about wassailing
He claps excitedly. "Oh man, the real classics."
"I don't have much in the way of wassail… but I do have some hot cocoa. It'll keep you warm almost as well."
You found: holiday hot cocoa
No thanks
The student nods. "Alright, well, come back anytime, I guess. We're only here 'til Christmas, so not too long."
See Walk Away
Where are the trees? (From 2019 on)
"You know that crazy girl who's always on the Quad selling books? Turns out she convinced a bunch of donors to buy overpriced trees for the students, so we got a bunch of trees and a bunch of cred to pay for stuff like the giant projection on the dorms."
He adjusts his glasses in appreciation. "It's a pretty neat trick, I think she learned it on the Halloween committee. She even got some grant money from some art institute as long as part of it goes to art tools. Anyway, she used her dark magic to conjure up enough trees for everyone on the nice list."
Unlocks ability to get a fake Christmas tree from the Abominable Snowman Leaderboard if you have helped enough.
