Yule is coming to the Shire and it’s a wonderful time of year! In the idyllic, bucolic land of the Shire, snow is falling in gentle sheets, covering the green hills with a pristine layer of white. Fires are roaring and chestnuts are roasting, and everything is right in the world.
Until one day when little Nico Boffin disappears. The only clue to his disappearance were goat hooves bigger than any goat has a right to be. Speculations abounded. Nico was a bully, a naughty, bratty hobbit lad who like to steal apples, poke his fingers in pies, and he even tried to steal Jorgyferret once!
The hobbit mothers and fathers knew what had happened. The thing they feared the most had come again. They had warned their children, as they had been warned by theirs, and so on and so on, that if they misbehaved Krampus would come. Now, it seems, he finally has!

Here’s how to play:
- RP your hobbit child hearing about the disappearance of Nico and arriving at the party tree to talk to your hobbit friends about Nico Boffin
- You are all bratty hobbit children so tell me why you’re bratty and why Krampus is coming for you
- When the horn blows (ie, when I have deemed the sign-up period has elapsed) run and find a place to hide (see the list below) but beware, Krampus is hiding too, and if you land in the same spot as him, he’ll stuff you in his sack and no one will ever see you again!
- Once a hobbit has been found a location, that location is no longer safe and cannot be used again
- Each round will last around 2-3 days
- You cannot hide in the same place on consecutive turns
- Last hobbit child standing is granted a reprieve and a warning to never be naughty again
Places to hide:
Rosie Cotton’s garden, under the party tree, Farmer Maggot’s mushroom patch, behind the Three-Farthing Stone, in Samwise Gamgee’s mayoral office, inside the New Mill, in Frodo Baggins’ study, Pippen Took’s ale cellar, behind the Green Dragon Inn, in a log behind Jorgy Underash’s home, in the Mathom-house, under Brandywine bridge, in Fang's doghouse, in Lobelia's silver closet, under Bag End's front porch, Buckleberry Ferry
Rules:
- No Godmoding, but the TR reserves the right if necessary
- Post at least 300 characters (3 lines of text give or take)
- Place your hiding location in bold at the bottom of your post
- Have fun
- Avoid colors I won’t be able to see
- Direct any OOC comments or questions to the OOC thread so we can keep the game nice and clear
Huge shout out to Sil for helping me devise this game
