Only six were left. Boc, Vic, Dylan, KC, Patrick, and Paco continued to trek across the snowy landscape behind Curtis. They had freed five reindeer, but four were left undiscovered.

Luckily for them, Vernon did not hide them very well. The sixth reindeer was spotted in a matter of time.



The block of ice was sitting in the middle of a gigantic, frozen pond. Patrick saw the poor reindeer and immediately identified with it. He grabbed a torch and rushed out onto the ice towards it.

*CRACK*

Patrick looked down beneath his hooves. The ice began to crack and splinter. Patrick gulped as he slowly slid backwards towards the group. As he did, the cracks in the ice grew wider.

"We uh...better be careful out there." he said.

ELIMINATION QUEST



- You must each venture out into the center of the frozen pond to free Comet. Only one of you will make it.

- Here is the game board:



- Each of you must draw a path through each space, starting from your own. If your path collides with someone else's path, the ice cracks and you immediately fall in. Your path will not continue from that point on.

- Whoever is still standing by the end will be safe from elimination

- Draw a path through as many spaces as you can just in case it lasts awhile. If multiple people are left and your paths run out, whoever went the furthest will win. Be sure to make it clear which spaces you're going through. You can only go on each space ONCE

- Example:



- You have 24 hours

MAIN QUEST

The ice is cracking beneath your feet. What's the best approach to take?

A. Volunteer to go out first and rescue Comet
Vic and KC decide to do the honorable thing and head out onto the ice first. Their courage is rewarded when they find a handful or presents stuck in the ice. +12 PRESENTS SPLIT EVENLY

B. Push Curtis out instead
No one attempted this. SMART!

C. Lay on your stomach and attempt to glide across the ice
Dylan, Patrick, and Paco laid down on their stomachs to gently glide across the ice. With their weight distributed, it wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately for them multiple people chose to attempt it, and all of their weight combined cracked the ice. IF MORE THAN ONE PERSON ATTEMPTS -3 EACH AND IT GOES TO YOUR OPPONENTS

D. Take Boc's bicycle and ride quickly towards the center
Boc hoped on his new bike and got ready to speed across the ice. He found a hill, flipped the kickstand up, and raced towards the pond. As soon as he hit the ice him and his bike went straight through it. That was never going to work. -5 PRESENTS

SIDE QUEST #1

No one sells their key back. Shame :(

SIDE QUEST #2

Boc takes his key and unlocks the cabin. He sneaks in and looks around ahead of time. When Paco, Vic, and Pat approach to buy their way in, Boc ambushes them and bombards them with snowballs. The five presents that each paid go to Boc.

SIDE QUEST #2

Everyone posted a gif. Everyone receives a Candy Cane bonus!
