[The Legonater]

I sit quietly, overhearing lists of gifts and special items. They were all very well and clever. Thinking deeply, I realize I can't find anything more fitting for my friends and allies. Instead, I write up simple letters to those I know, wishing them a well and happy holiday, and hoping they keep relatively safe. A more conversational letter is written to one Eyric Rone, apologizing again for the chaos my recent visit may have caused. Finally, one final letter is penned.

To Felton,

I don't know if this will reach you on whatever plane you're on - I don't even know if you're technically alive. I just wanted to say thank you. For believing in me. I've been a lot of things in my life but... well I think I'm finally realizing what it means to be a hero. The fact is, I couldn't have gotten this far without you. You were a good man, Felton. I hope you've found peace in whatever life you're in now. So thank you, Felton. The memory of the Wren Hunters will forever live on. Merry Grogmas.

-Dyric Rone

Game Manager Note: Feel free to add the item you received to your inventory straight away. Apologies for the lack of item pictures this time around, there were just too many new items and too little time.

[MysticModulus]

Ezeran opens the neatly wrapped gift and finds a metallic card with a nice looking engraving saying "The truest gift is the sudden appreciation and acceptance of ones worth..." He turns the card over and he sees the symbiont reflecting of its silvery surface. The picture fades as the symbiont sneezes all over it. Ezeran felt a pride welling up inside of him and a smile started to spread over his face. "Happy Grogmas fellow heroes!" He shouted with joy.

This looks kind of small for an insane amount of gold. As he opens the gift.

Human Repellent ?!?

How anti-social do they think I am? Come to think about it, I guess I am. I wonder what would happen if I used in the "Hall"?

OoC: I had fun coming up with suggestions, Sandy. As if you couldn't tell.
