[QUOTE="Dingleberry, post: 2693044, member: 490"] I have long had the desire (but, unfortunately, not the time) to run a Christmas-themed session as follows: in keeping with such films as [I]The Santa Clause[/I], "Santa" is a template that can only be possessed by one individual, who is chosen by the previous Santa to take over. For my adventure, the mantle is passed to a mind flayer who deceived the prior Santa into thinking he was at the top of the "nice" list. After acquiring the template and all of its powers (limited [I]time stop[/I] enabling him to visit every house in the world in one night, ability to enter any dwelling through the chimney, [I]detect sleeping/awake[/I] and [I]detect good/bad[/I] at will, etc.) the mind flayer imprisoned the prior Santa deep under the toys workshops in the now dark and corrupt North Pole. The PCs are recruited by an elf who narrowly escaped, who begs them to rescue the "real" Santa before Christmas Day, at which time the mind flayer Santa would have unrestricted access to the tasty brains of anyone with a chimney and the time to eat them all. The PCs have to fight their way through the protections and guards the mind flayer Santa has put in place around the North Pole (snowmen, flying dire reindeer, animated Chrismas trees - beware their tinsel snare and ranged ormanent barrage!) before the showdown with the big bad Santa. I've always enjoyed the image of a mind flayer in a Santa suit, with a big belly and his tentacles covered in a bushy white beard. [/QUOTE]
