Our story begins in the village of Thorheim. It is a quaint lumber town nestled in the pine filled Forest of Odin near the top of the world. It is very close to the day of Christmas and the village is decorated with holiday cheer. Children dance through the town singing carols and playing in the snow. Adults are working their respective jobs and looking forward to the annual celebration. You find yourselves in a clean happy tavern called “The Aspen Pub” under strange circumstances. For the life of you, none of you have any idea how you appeared in this tavern or even how you arrived in this town. The atmosphere is infection and so for the moment you are happy. There is cold drink and hot food in front of you. Happy day! Suddenly, a small creature bursts into the pub. He seems a friendly sort but is obviously distressed about something. After closer observation, you discover that he is some kind of fae, dressed in bright red leggings and a velvety green tunic. Around his waist are jingly bells and on his head is a pointy red hat trimmed in white fur. The town folk get him settled down enough to speak and that is when we all find out that Saint Nicholas (sometimes known as Santa Claus) has been kidnapped by the wicked sorceress Elsa and her goons. The ATROCITY! So close to Christmas, surely, he must be saved so that he can deliver toys to all the boys and girls of the world! As you all look like seasoned adventurers, the town folk look toward you and beg for your help. Elsa’s cold fortress lies deep in the Mountains of Ice, just northwest of the town. According to the town folk, there is a tower at the foot of the mountains that contains a path to her fortress, but it is guarded by evil creatures. This quest isn’t about money or experience (though there will be plenty of both), it’s about doing what’s RIGHT! Let’s go get Santa! This game is written to play with the 1e Advanced Dungeons & Dragons or similar OSR rule set.
