Encounter Conditions
Christmas 2011, replaces Abominable Snowman Competition if Etheric or Slags Poisoning
Initial Text
As of December 20th, 2011:
Something terrible catches your eye in the center of the snow-covered Quad. A warped snowman, looking like something yanked from a child's nightmare, glowers at you. Its limbs creak in a way the wind could never manage as you find an even more terrifying sight arranged behind it.
Dozens of snowmen mark the Quad, glaring down at you balefully. At the center of the horde, you see a few snowmen with horns, each staring out with a single coal eye.
Snowmen with vicious icicle fangs work their way through the crowd, while the rest are arranged almost worshipfully around the horned ones.
Weaving between the others are a veritable sea of tiny snowmen, barely knee-high.
At 300 Scariness:
Something terrible catches your eye in the center of the snow-covered Quad. A warped snowman, looking like something yanked from a child's nightmare, glowers at you. Its limbs creak in a way the wind could never manage as you find an even more terrifying sight arranged behind it.
A mass of snowmen spread through the Quad, packed most tightly near the abandoned museum. At the center of the horde, you see a small group of snowmen watching the proceedings. Some have horns and a single coal eye, while others stare out with a pair of bulbous eyes like Christmas ornaments.
Snowmen with vicious icicle fangs work their way through the crowd, while the rest are arranged almost worshipfully around the center.
Weaving between the others are a veritable sea of tiny snowmen, barely knee-high.

Choice Text and Results
Pick one off
You carefully sneak up behind one of the snowmen furthest from the pack and strike from hiding. Before you can land a blow, it spins to meet you with its claw.
Even hindered by its misshapen form it moves with surprising speed, if not grace.
Fight a Fresh Snowman
(+21 Stealth power does not change the text or result)
Charge a fanged one
You approach the fanged snowman cautiously, but it turns to you with a sudden shriek. Its icicle fangs glimmer with a strange light as it opens its mouth to reveal an endless windy void.
(Fight a Fanged Snowman)
Approach a horned one
As you approach it, the snowman looks down at you with its single coal eye. You can feel its mocking laughter boiling up from your bones, but its mouthless face remains passive, waiting for you to make the first move.
(Fight a Horned Snowman)
Rush a staring one
The snowman turns to face you, its strange ornament-eyes spinning wildly in their sockets.

Challenge the giant

(Fight a Swarm of Tiny Snowmen)
Run in terror
You run your fastest, churning through the snow and leaving the student's twisted creations far behind. Thankfully, none of them seem to have followed you.

Back away slowly
You manage to keep control of your emotions long enough to escape the snowmen's presence. Thankfully, none of them seem to have followed you.
