For my upcoming session, I have a few holiday things planned. The solstice is coming and a thick fog bank has covered the land. A seemingly jolly, fat fey creature, Krampus, has lost his way and his flying reindeer refuse to fly blind.
Luckily, the party wizard, who definitely has his name on the naughty list, will be followed by a Nightmare, whose rider was killed by the wizard in the last session, who wants the wizard to be her new wicked master (this will be a warning to the player that his character is turning evil, but no bad deed go unrewarded).
But the Krampus is not what he seems. My plan was to make him a troll as well; green skin and very grinch-like. His bottomless bag of holding is not filled with presents, but instead is a portal to a demiplane where he keeps the children he has kidnapped (in fact, he has already kidnapped one of the party Bard's wards) to torture for being naughty and later devour.
My hope is that the party will use the flaming Nightmare to guide the sleigh, it may choose to follow Krampus over the Wizard, before uncovering the truth. But they might just try to kill him and take his bag of holding filled with presents.
I really hope they don't read these boards.
