Once night fall and everyone should be asleep, Rosri will leave his bed and go sneak about the palace.
First he will go to The others room to check to see that they are alright, then he will go check on the Jarl to see that he is fine as well.
If everyone is fine he will start to look for secret doors and listen for suspicious conversation, if he doesn’t hear or find any he’ll return to his room to get some sleep.
Roscoe does his best to get a full night sleep. He wasn't sure what tomorrow would bring, but he was excited to learn what about the new role his friend was to fill. The tribe had various positions of importance but they were only available to the elders that had completed the mission. Roscoe believed he'd one day be among the elders if he survived long enough. It is honors like these that are important to the halfling. He wants to be there for his tribe and his family. All of this was making him closer to his ancestors and he cherished every moment of it.

As he is meditating on squirrels and bunnies and the sacred grove in his trance, something dark creeps into Edeleth's reverie. It is a nearly forgotten childhood memory of a winter's night he spent at the castle when he was very little, when something dark had come into the room and loomed over him, the prince, and their other companions. While he had lain quietly, barely breathing and hoping the dark thing would go away, the prince had awoken, taken one look, and shrieked like a banshee. The castle guards had piled into the room, attacking the dark thing with spears and trying to drive it away from the children. As the guards had fought the monster, and the other boys cried, and the prince demanded to be given a sword or a dagger so he could fight, too, Edeleth had pretended to sleep through it all.
Snapping fully awake, Edeleth wanders, shaken, to the window for a breath of fresh air. Gazing out on the city, he takes in the view. The Three Peaks has become a familiar, comforting place, and the festive lights and bells soften it and make it almost charming. Why should that fearful memory come back to haunt him, after all these years?
Then he sees a familiar, horrific shadow in the square.
No sleeping through this one--Edeleth quickly throws on his armor and grabs his weapons, running out into the night!
Initiative: 24

While Rosri is creeping around the palace corridors in the middle of the night, he hear an eerie melody coming from outside, and a voice singing with murderous intent.
It somehow reminds him of a story his mother used to tell him around this time of year. It was a story of an evil being who stole naughty children and ate them for dinner. But it was only a story right?
Then he saw Edeleth running through the corridors and out in the night. Something must be up.. Rosri made it back to his room, grabbed his quiver, crossbow and dagger. Then he woke Roscoe up. “Pssst Roscoe! There is something bad happening in the square! Edeleth is already out there, we need to hurry and help him!” He then helps the halfling to don his armor as quick as possible!
Krampus got a 22 on his Initiative! So turns will go:
1)Edeleth
2)Krampus
3)Rosri
Edeleth rushes to the Central Plaza just in time to see Krampus grabbing a small boy, and shoving him in his black sack. "No Santa for you, this year!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Edeleth realizes that calling a lightning bolt down on the Krampus's head will fry any children in the sack he is carrying, so he summons assistance instead.
Waving his Naranda staff, he furiously chants a Druidic incantation. "nøw, dä$hê®! nøw, dänÇê®! nøw, p®än(é® ánd víx'Ən! 0n, ç0mé†! 0n Q'p1d! 0n, dønnƏr änd bLi†2en!"
As the Conjure Animals spell takes effect, fey and winter magic gather into the form of a Giant Elk with a glowing red nose!

OOC: Oh God, did I already forget the new guy on the First battle? Wow, worst DM of the year award right here lol. Elixisys will go with Rosri right after Krampus. I do Initiative in groups to make it easier (Before the bad guy/the Bad Guy/after the bad Guy). And again, my sincere apologies to you.
Edeleth Chants loudly, channeling the Ancient Spirits of Christmas, and summons Rudolph the bloody nosed Raindeer, who comes charging out of a random bush! You will be able to play him after Krampus takes his turn, with Elixisys and Rosri.
Seeing Edeleth summon Rudolph, Krampus fumes. "How dare You summon this foul Beast on my yearly Celebration night!" He runs up to them and attacks them both once, with his whip.
Attack on Edeleth: 16(8 slashing damage)
Attack on Rudolph 18 (8 slashing damage)
"Take that, you Spawns of Santa!"
Elixisys, Rosri and Rudolph may now take their turn

Rosri coat 3arrows in poison as he run through the big doors of the palace and out on the square to find a giant half goat/half man monster with a big black sack.
“H-h-he’s real?!” Is all he can get out. A few moments of panic take over before the adrenaline kicks in and he is battle ready. He lift his crossbow and fires away!
Attack: 25 Damage: 10
Black Lily Poison: 4
Upon contact or ingurgitation, it deals 1d12 poison damage, or half if the target passes a DC15 Constitution check.
If he get sneak: 18
ooc: using lucky!
LuckyPHB, pg. 28
When you roll a 1 on the d20 for an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.
For a moment or two, Rudolph ignores the little elf's order to attack as he enjoys the holiday sights of The Three Peaks and nibbles a few of the wreaths and evergreen boughs decorating the square.
Then a horrible goat-creature hits it with a whip.
Outraged, the mighty elk charges at the monster, antlers down! Attack: 10 Damage: 15
(If Rudolph was at least 20 ft away, he gets a Charge bonus of 6 points of damage and the Krampus must make a DC 14 strength saving roll or be knocked prone.)

A song begins to play in Elixisys' head as he prepares to enter the battle. He then reaches into his component pouch and dabs a drop of water on his finger. As he moves his hand out and back the water forms into an icicle that he hurls at Krampus.
OOC: Haha, that was my opening music for the Starfinder Christmas special I just ran for my friends😜
Rosri's arrow originally misses the Krampus, who chuckles, but then it ricochets against a nearby wall and stings him in the back of his shoulder, dealing poison damage.
Elixisys summons an Ice Knife and thrusts it at Krampus, hitting him in the chest! He grunts, but then grabs the knife, and shatters it in his hand (Con Save: 18- he has advantage on saves against spells).
The Party notices Saerrira from Team1 rush in! She attempts to cast Command on Krampus, but he shruggs it off...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Hello, Saerirra!" says Edeleth conversationally as he draws his blades. "We almost brought you a kobold minion as a souvenir of our adventures, but I'm afraid I dropped its leash at an inopportune moment."
Most of his useful spells at the moment will cause Rudolph's disappearance, and he has no spell that will help free the child/children inside the sack. He charges the Krampus, trying to hack at the hand holding the sack and, if possible, forcing the monster to release it.
Scimitar Attack: 16 Damage: 6 slashing
Off-hand dagger Attack: 10 Damage: 1 piercing
(All these bad attack rolls: apparently Santa does not think Edeleth was a good elf this year.)
(OOC: Whoops, forgot, Edeleth needs to roll a DC 10 con save to maintain concentration: 5 Rudolph is gone!

Edeleth struggles to hit Krampus, missing twice...
Krampus attacks Edeleth again with his whip, then attempts to grab him and shove him into his sack. Attack roll: 14 (6 slashing damage), and Edeleth must roll an opposed Athletics or Acrobatics check DC 16 to evade the grapple, and avoid being shoved into Krampus' sack.
Saerrira, Elixisys and Rosri may now take their turn!
