Characters who complete this adventure should earn enough experience to almost reach level 5. The renowned toymaker Kristof Klaus and his retinue of elven apprentices are being held captive by the witches Gryla the Giantess and her neighbor, Mother Perchta, who plan on making Yuletide meals of them. This adventure is designed to easily fit into any campaign setting that has a snowy forest during winter solstice. The adventurers should be prepared for a tough battle with each of the witches.
Background
A renowned dwarven toymaker, Kristof Klaus, and his elven apprentices are known throughout the local area for giving gifts to village children during Yuletide. Their distinctive red wagons travel the roadways as they sing holiday songs and bring cheer to every village they ride through. This year while traveling to their last village, the cheerful troupe was beset upon by the wicked giantess Gryla and her wicked pet Yule Cat. Dragging them to her cavern home, she gifted Kristof to her neighbor, a witch named Mother Perchta who has a penchant for luring children into her cave and turning them into her zombie pets. They intend to make meals out of their fresh new captives.

Don't forget to check out the "Aftermath" section where Kristof hands out gifts and his Yuletide Whiskey! Hope you and your table have a fantastic time! :)

My players asked for a "Christmas Episode" since our game is on Saturday so I am running this. Being in the giving mood, on top of the items they get from the encounter Kristof is going to hand out gifts from his sack when they get back. I am letting them roll from the common items in XGE so they can get some fun, silly stuff. Very excited to play through this!
