• Reshad: Wait, I bet Nick sent you, didn't he? Well, he's coming up on your left. Remind him that this isn't a charity.
• Nick: Hey, <playername>! Any luck?
• Nick: We can't get any food? We're running out of options here...

• Santa: Nick, I know times are tough there, but-
• Nick: Tough?! It's impossible! What happened to people's good will? I had one volunteer this year! ONE!
• Santa: I'm sorry Nick. You could go to Detlas and ask there, they have a feast big enough to feed an army!
• Nick: Hmmm... Oh, sorry. I miscalculated your journey here. Good to see you.
• Nick: I suppose you heard Santa and I. Our next location is Detlas.

• Server: What do you want?!
• Server: Food? You want food? Does this look like a charity to you?
• Server: Of course not! We have an obligation to feed our partygoers, not some poor scraps of men in the desert!
• Server: Now get out of here before I call the security golems. And don't even think of stealing from the kitchen!

Stage 13

Dialogue:

• Nick: Were you able to get any food?
• Nick: You do?! I didn't expect them to be so generous, a whole crate?

Dialogue:

• Nick: Listen up everyone!
• Nick: I know you are hungry. Because I am too.
• Nick: But your dinner will not be served tonight.
• Nick: There will be no Craftmas feast this year!
• Guest: You can't do that!
• Guest: The food on the table isn't enough to feed everyone here!
• Nick: This one night, this one missed meal.
• Nick: This is how thousands of people live every day.
• Nick: Hungry, wondering when the food will be available.
• Nick: And while you sit there with empty stomachs be thankful for what you have. Spare a thought for those who have not.
• Nick: Hundreds of men, women and children, just like you, will not eat tonight, at all.
• Nick: All because this enormous feast was not enough. Detlas bought all the food, cheap or expensive.
• Nick: I'm here to remind you the real meaning of this day. To think of others..
• Nick: I will return your meal tonight, but while you eat it... I want you to remember every empty mouth it could have fed.
• Nick: Share what you have, be thankful for what you are given.
• Guest: ...

You will then be teleported to Almuj.

Dialogue:

• ???: Well, looks like you came through yet again Nick.
• Santa: I came to see if I could help out. But it looks like you've done it.
• Santa: Well, I guess there is only one thing left to do to complete this scene.
• Santa: Hope you all have a merry craftmas. Ho-ho!

Santa will cast a spell, making it snow temporarily.

Stage 15

» Talk to Nick.

Dialogue

• Nick: It looks like my little speech brought the rich back down to earth.
• Nick: They gave us half of their feast. Can you believe they still had leftovers?
• Nick: All of that food, going straight to waste.
• Nick: They have no idea what they have, compared to these poor folks.
• Nick: You might be wondering why I know Santa. Well, he's my brother.
• Nick: Me and my siblings take care of people at Craftmas. My area is the Almuj desert. I guess you could call me Sanda Claus, heh.
• Nick: It's people like you that keep the real meaning of this holiday alive. It gets harder every year as the meaning is distorted. Here is a personal gift from me. Thank you.

Tips

• Using a movement spell or riding a horse through the large cavern before Santa's Village can help you avoid the dangerous falling icicles.
