Session 9: Finishing Christmas
General Summary
The party wrapped up their Midwinter adventure by tending to the seasonal spirits and unraveling Krampus’s grim mischief. After gathering worms for the Sack Boys and offering proper tribute to the Midwinter Cat Spirit, they soothed the Goat Spirit with a warm wool blanket, quality feed, and a feast of bread with syrup.
Their festivities turned deadly when Krampus emerged, but the group succeeded in defeating the monstrous spirit and rescuing Ebin. Imbued with the power of a newly acquired fire artifact, Ebin transformed into a Fire Fey and has now joined Gideon as his fiery new sidekick.
Exploring Krampus’s sack revealed kidnapped villagers (those who had survived) freeing them from their nightmarish imprisonment. With the crisis resolved, a portal opened, allowing the party to return safely to Camp Hope, closing out the Midwinter tale on a triumphant note.

Next Week
Down Time
The party will be getting 8 (1d10) weeks of down time. This is 56 days. Consider what your characters will be doing with their down time and plan this ahead of the session to make things run a little smoother for everyone. When the down time ends, the session will resume on the morning of Feb 14, 113.
Review the Down Time Options to plan ahead for what you'd like to do for your down time.
Down Time Events
Paychecks
- Happens on 1/1/114 and 2/1/114 during the down time.
On the first of the month everyone gets paid. If you are of a rank within a faction that affords you a monthly income, this is when that payment is received.
Rent
- Happens on 1/1/114 and 2/1/114 during the down time.
This is also when you owe rent. This means that you need to decide on where you are going to be living for the next month and pay that out. If you cannot pay rent then you will be homeless this month. This means that you will either need to take advantage of faction housing or hope that a fellow party member will house you for the month in their lodging.
Christmas
- The Christmas episode occurs during the down time as a celebration for the in game holiday. This takes place during Christmas Eve.
Decide how you would like your characters to celebrate
Birthday
- Jaxon Frost's Birthday 1/22/114
Jaxon will be turning 22 years old. How does he celebrate? If there is anything that you'd like to have them do that's special let me know so we can work that out a head of time. I'd like to make sure that we have a fun birthday "episode" for you.
Note
These special events (holidays and birthdays) will not take away from the down time. It will be assumed that the celebrations of such events have occurred around whatever work and survival tasks need to be completed within the camp.
