"The Boss is the Boss, Some call him Nich. Most know him as Claus, Those who cross him can call him Kram. Either name its the same person....and He's coming here! For the first time! BOY OH BOY, I cant tell you how long we have been trying to get here and now we can!" The Fae squirms in the air as the speak of their Boss. Their face is alight with admiration just talking about that who it serves. 

"Im here to find out who gets to meet Kram and who gets to meet Claus." They peer down on you, Their gaze falling on Quiggley. "So far....Kram seems more than likely." 

“So, two questions,” Theo pipes up. “First, what does meeting Claus mean? Like, do we get something? And how do you determine which one we meet?”

"Why here? What is it that Claus or Kram seeks? Why do you serve them? Would you not be capable of serving your own cause? Paca asks many questions of the fae as he is very concerned of why this creature is here and the true nature of it.

"You do! Of course you get something!" The Fae finally lowers down to the ground, while they are eye level with Paca. The rest of you are looking down at them, Except for Quiggley. Quiggley is the only one who has to look up. 

"What you get depends on who you meet! Who you meet depends on what you do!" This individual seems to become more and more excited the more they speak about the one they serve. "Claus wants to being Hope and Joy to all! Kram wants to bring despair and punishment to those who deserve it!" 

They sit atop a snow bank, looking at you Paca before their attention falls onto the fairy huddled on your shoulder. "I serve because I want to serve." A bright smile comes across their round features, followed by a simple wink. 

Paca, make a CON Saving throw.

"Pixelfs are Harbingers and tricksters. How did you get entry to this realm? There may be truth in our actions influencing which form your master take here, but more likely it is our actions in reaction to your influence. ", Quiggley will accuse while warning his companions.

Rae pauses a moment to think about what the fae has shared on Claus and Kram.  She looks at Quiggley a moment skeptically before asking the fae, "And why is it that our friend Quiggley would incite the wrath of Kram?"

Praxius watches on, unsure of what is going on.

"Anyone care to explain this to me? There is someone, or two people, visiting us? And he might be angry? Or happy?", he says scratching his head.

"And when is all this happening?", he adds looking around at his friends.

"They almost ruined my shoe!" The creature exclaimed, rather loudly for its size. Wiggling its pointy toed shoe in the direction of Quiggley. "A few inches closer and my pour toes would be covered in snow! You have no idea how long it takes to make a pair of shoes this magnificent!" Now that it is pointing out its footwear, you get a good view at it. Ankle high with a pointy toe and what appears to be no sole on it whatsoever, despite their claim the shoe's appear to be rather poorly made and not fit for any sort of travel. 

"It's happening now!" The creature responds to Praxius, Before once more vanishing in a puff of silvery mist. You all hear the familiar Jingle once more, yet this time you are unable to pinpoint it's source.

Paca shakes away a chilling feeling before opening his eyes to see the creature vanished once more. "That thing tried to cast some spell on me, what it was I haven't a clue but it felt, cold, chilling to the core. I was able to fight the spell but it wasn't good. This fae creature seems to be toying with us. What do you suppose we do now? I feel whatever this thing is up to, it isn't finished with us yet. Be on your guard. Cloud, did your dogs lose the scent?"

"We really should follow it. We are all capable. Think of the trouble it could cause ordinary working folks."

Rae sighed deeply to Quiggley's suggestion.  It seems though we follow the right path, Hyrule will always have plans of her own, she thought to herself.

"Aye, let us see what this fae and her boss are up to," Rae paused a moment, "And Quiggley... best you curry the fae's favor.  Regardless of how little information we have, I don't want to meet this Kram inidividual."

Hearing the distant jingle, Rae heightens her senses.  The yellow zora surveys the surrounding area for anything out of the ordinary.

Perception Check: 18
Passive Perception: 21

Theo shrugs. “Sure, let’s follow it. Let’s just be careful, we don’t know if there’s going to be some kind of trap, but we shouldn’t look too suspicious. I agree with Rae, I’d rather meet this Claus rather than the other guy.”

"Be it Claus or Kram, we should keep an eye on them. This whole situation seems wrong to me", Praxius adds, following the others as they move forwards.

He is still unarmed, relying on the sword to alert of him danger if and when the time came.

Red and Cait, the Hounds belonging to CLoud continue to sniff around the area. In the hopes of catching the trail of the mysterious Fae while Cloud waits anxiously, it seems the Hylian has grown more than a little annoyed at the presence of whatever this creature is. "I know nothing of this Claus or Kram, However I do find this to be all too conveinient. Just as we begin to travel, some being with enough power to change the very weather itself, that none of us have ever heard of. Manages to not only toy with us, but send one it's heralds to torment us." 

The Dog's begin to whine. "They cannot find the creatures trail." 

Rae, Your focus immediately falls to the north where you can hear the slightest sound of snow crunching paired with the jingle of bells. Taking a few steps in that direction, you can see a black rock jutting out from the top of a distant snowbank. The rock is out of place among the fresh piles of white snow. 

Rae points northward to the black rock, "Eyes up.  I hear our fae in that direction.  Anyone else think that rock is a little out of place?"

"Hold back for a bit, I'll do a little recon for us," Rae says as she falls to a crouch and slowly makes her way towards the rock.  The zora approaches the rock stealthily, only getting close enough to the point where she could identify the black rock or see the fae creature (whichever comes first).

Stealth: 11
Perception (if needed): 15
Passive Perception: 21

Quiggley will keep an eye on Rae but wait with the others.

Hearing Rae talk of scouting ahead, Paca will have inspired the Zora to aid in the recon.

If Rae can use the bardic inspiration: 17

Rae,

Breaking off from the group, you keep low amongst the snow drifts. While you are unfamiliar with this type of weather, The cold actually does not affect you as much as your companions. Being used to the cold depths of the ocean surrounding Hyrule, this temperature is kind've familiar. The snow on the other hand, is something you have no experience with. SO your steps along the frosty surface does leave behind a rather loud crunch. Another jingle rings out, further to the north as you approach the black rock. Immediately recognizing its composition, It is a rather large piece of coal. 

Looking further north, you just catch sight of the Fae creature as it vanishes into another puff of silver mist. Leaving behind what you assume is another piece of coal, It seems to be leading you somewhere. 

Following the trail, Keeping just ahead of your companions. You gather a total of four pieces of coal before the traill vanishes, with no other visible signs as to where the Fae have scampered off to. 

Praxius, 

You sword begins to hum. 

Red and Cait begin to bark loudly out into the snow drift, something is coming. 

Quiggley tosses his lump of coal away from the group. "Dang should have guessed that! Rae! Throw away the coal!" Quiggley will encourage. He takes out his wand.
