Santa Claus

"I came to Ilya to get help finding the reindeer who stole the harness to my sleigh. I need that harness so I can properly get my sleigh filled with presents to the homes of all the good girls, boys, and Sprites," said Santa.

"Blitzen's hiding in the Moonlight Forest near the Forest Altar where the Magic Spotted Deer frolic."

"%c%, can you teach that reindeer a lesson and take back my sleigh harness?"

"I will give you a Reindeer Bell; ring it when you get close, and Blitzen will appear."

"I know that Blitzen doesn't like constant noise, but I never thought he'd hate the jangling of the new sled harness so much that he'd steal it!" Santa seemed exasperated.

"Blitzen's a bit of a wild child, though. I can't tell you how many times he's thrown parties at the cottage while I'm away at toy conventions. I come home to passed out elves and nog everywhere."

"You'd do well to assemble a search party to find Blitzen. Watch out; he likes to poke people in the butt with his antlers."

"So he hates the sound of the harness, yet he's carrying it around with him? Sometimes, I don't think he's the brightest bulb on the tree."

"Thanks to you, I can deliver the presents on schedule!"

"I almost forgot - I've got a little gift for you! You've been a very good Sprite Messenger this year! Ho ho ho!" Santa laughed, pulling a sugar cookie from inside his fluffy beard. He offered it to you, but you declined; who knows where that beard has been?
