Choice Text and Results
Help him sort
You help him out by hauling a few crates and tidy up a corner of the giant mess. It makes the garage a little more livable for parties, but will probably also make it easier for everyone to look for things later.
You've earned 2 XP in Strength
(Gives chance for better results from grabbing some later?)
Grab some yourself
You can see why that guy's having so much trouble finding anything. In the end, you just grab a couple things at random.
You found: 2 of: artificial ivy, crepe paper, decorative webbing, foam skull, PolyClay
Or, if the shipments are sorted:
Something happens
Just chat
He lets himself get distracted pretty easily. "There's some clay this year, which is great. Nothing like a blank canvas but… now I need an idea."
"I was hoping there would be something in the story book this year, but it's so short I couldn't squeeze any inspiration out of it. So I'm seeing if there's any good inspiration among the other supplies. I could sculpt… crepe paper?"
Jump him
"What the hell! What the hell, man!"
He stumbles backwards over some of the boxes, unable to get away before you close the distance. A roll of crepe paper dumped from the boxes rolls into a nearby puddle, dissolving as he tries to find another way out.
(Fight a Hipster; drops PolyClay in addition to normal drops.)
Leave him be
He sighs and goes back to poking through boxes.
