After freeing Dasher, it was time for the group to venture out of Santa's Village. Hundreds of elves met them at the gate and waved them goodbye, cheering for success for the heroes.

"Santa gave me this map of the North Pole before we left." Curtis began. "We'll need to check all the major locations."

He pointed his finger at a large mountain on the map. "Let's check here first."

The group trekked across the snowy landscape for miles. The land was rough, and the group began to suffer from fatigue. Vic was nearly freezing to death in his short sleeve elf uniform and skirt. Ari, meanwhile, marched ahead of the group with a large grin on his face. He was in his element.

After several hours, they reached their destination. A large summit stood before them. On the cliffside near the top, they could barely make out the familiar shape of a large, rectangular block of ice. Another reindeer.

"Alright gang!" said Curtis as he stopped to catch his breath. "You're gonna need to split up again. Three groups of three should do the trick. The ninth person can stand guard!"

ELIMINATION QUEST




- Each of you must split into new groups, this time groups of three.

- The process works the same as before. Once a group if picked, it's locked.

- The person left out WILL be in danger of being eliminated.

Intermediate Items are now available

As the merry band of travelers ran off to climb the mountain ahead of them, they split into three groups of three.

"Let's join up!!" Mrs DD Claus said to her hubby Dylan and Vic, their third. Dylan and Vic agreed and walked towards DD. "Actually no nvm." replied DD as she joined with KC and Patrick.

"FUCK YOU DD!" yelled Mr Claus Dawg, grabbing Nofo instead as Vic joined him.

Boc, Greenday, Ari, and Paco were left. While Ari was enjoying a snowcone as a birthday treat, the other three quickly got together. Feeling rejected on his own Birthday, Ari was the odd man out and joined Curtis.

"There there Ari!" Curtis said as Ari's tears fell onto his snow costume and immediately froze into ice. "You're not out just yet!"

With that, Curtis dropped his velvet red sack of presents in front of his feet. He took out a considerable amount of presents and held the out before the group. "Who wants to make a deal? :D " he said.



ARI HAS BEEN MARKED FOR ELIMINATION

- As the odd man out, Ari is in danger of being eliminated. If he is still the odd man out by 9:00 EST tonight, he will be eliminated.

- However, I'll offer you a choice. I will give THIRTY presents to any two players who choose to kick out the third member of their group and accept Ari into it in their place.

- To kick out a member, two members of your group must post ##Kick player. Don't trust your group members to keep you? Try to conspire with the other to kick out the third before they kick you first.

- The first team to do this will take Ari in, and the kicked out player will be eliminated from the game. Each of the two who accepted the offer will receive their 30 presents at the end of the day. If no one takes the offer by 9:00, Ari's birthday present will be a swift elimination from the game.

You're standing at the base of a mountain and need to reach the top. How will you proceed?

A. Search for rope to tie around your waist.
Paco was the only person to consider this. If more had, perhaps everyone after the first person to select it would have been behind him in the rope line, the rope would've snapped, and the first person would get +3 presents each from them. But since no one followed... NO EFFECT

B. Locate the helicopter that brought you in.
Nofo set off alone to look for the helicopter. Instead, he found a frozen candy cane lodged in the snow. "That'll do." he said to himself. +1 CANDY CANE

C. Fashion makeshift snow shoes to make the climb easier.
Vic, KC, Pat, Dylan, and Greenday all set out into the snowy forest. They each gathered twigs, sticks, and twine to fashion some snow shoes. When they tested them out, they worked perfectly! +7 PRESENTS

D. Sprint up the mountain.
Boc, DD, and Ari got the bright idea to simply spring up the enormous mountain. They got about 30 yards before tiring out, falling backwards, and rolling down the hillside. -4 PRESENTS


SIDE QUEST
1. A crate was found half buried in the snow. Do you wish to open it? You'll need a Regular Key.

Greenday was the only one with a key willing to take the risk. He opened up the crate and prayed......it was worth it. +5 PRESENTS +1 SNOWBALL

-------------------------------------------------------

Ari stood by smiling. "Who wants presents guys? Who wants to help a birthday boy out :) "

Nofo spoke up. "I'd rather just go for the kill. Presents don't do anything but paint a target on your back--"

"##Kick out Nofo" said Dyl
"##Kick out Nofo" said Vic

"..." Nofo began. "Dicks."

Ari skipped merrily towards his new team as Dylan and Vic charged at the pile of presents and gathered them up with smiles on their faces.

"Okay! Let's get up this mountain." Curtis said. "Ari, you go with Vic and Dylan. Nofo, you stand guard down here in case the Jew or Sansa come back. Here's a stick for defense."

Nofo slumped down into the snow as the group took off up the mountain. As it grew steeper, it became harder to climb. Patrick's four hooves skidded across the ice as the terrain began to tilt on the vertical side. KC used his Yukon Cornelius pick axe to dig into the cliffside and help the group out. Ari climbed up with ease, confused as to why it was giving the rest of them so much trouble.

Eventually, the group made their way to a somewhat wooded area of the mountain side. Nearby, they found what they were looking for.



Dancer was trapped in a block of ice. The group took out a couple of torches and held it near, slowly but surely melting the ice away. Soon enough, Dancer was freed. He jumped gracefully from the block if ice and shook the snow off of his coat of fur.

At the base of the mountain, Nofo was quickly driving himself crazy. He was still laughing at what he had done to Bryce, and was swearing to do the same to Dylan and Nofo.

"Ha...LOL...L O L!" he screamed. When he heard his voice echo back to him, he had a crazy idea.

Nofo stood and faced the mountain side. Up towards the top, he could barely make out Curtis and his nine companions. He placed his hands on the sides of his mouth to project his voice, and screamed up the mountain.

"HAHA. LOOOL. L O FUCKING L." He yelled. His voice boomed across the valley. It didn't take very long for Nofo to hear what he wanted to hear. Rumbling.

The ground began to shake as chunks of snow fell from the trees by the group. "HAHA. LOOOL. L O FUCKING L." they faintly heard. "What is going on?" someone asked.

The ground shook more violently this time, sending members of the group onto the ground. Curtis looked further up the mountain in shock.

"AVAAAAALANCHE!!!!!!" he screamed.

A massive pile of snow was rapidly making its way down the mountain towards them. KC dug his axe into a nearby tree and climbed to the top. Dylan followed, and Vic tugged on Dylan's beard to pull himself up. One by one, everyone joined.

Patrick had trouble getting a grip on a tree because of his four hooves. Greedelephant reached down with his trunk and scooped Patrick up to help him.

The flood of snow reached their area and shook the base of the trees that they were in. Everyone clenched their eyes shut and held on as tight as they could.

"L O L. HAHAHA!!" Nofo screamed. He danced around at the base of the mountain manically as the snow approached him. With one final laugh, he turned towards the snow, spread his arms out, and shut his eyes.

The snow rolled over him and buried him far beneath it. When the snow settled, Nofo was gone.



Nofo has been eliminated
