The Night Before Christmas: The Great Rudolph Rescue

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the sky, Santa was ready, his reindeer set to fly… But as Santa prepared to take off on his sleigh, a shadow fell across the North Pole. S. Elfish, a rogue elf with a bitter grudge against Santa, struck when no one expected. Disguised as one of the workshop elves, he snuck in, lured Rudolph from the stable, and kidnapped him. By taking Rudolph, he believed he could ruin Christmas itself—leaving Santa without his magic guide and plunging the world into darkness. Santa felt the excitement of Christmas slipping away. With no time to lose, he gathered the remaining reindeer and set out to search for any trace of Rudolph. As Santa departed, a gust of cold wind swept through the North Pole, and a familiar voice echoed through the air: "To those brave enough to save Christmas, I, S. Elfish, have taken Rudolph. I’ve locked him away in an enchanted ice cave, deep in the snowy mountains, right next to Santa’s Grotto. Without him, Christmas will fall into darkness. But I’ve left you a challenge. If you truly understand the magic of Christmas, you’ll prove yourselves by solving a trail of puzzles and clues I’ve set in place. If you succeed, you’ll free Rudolph and save Christmas. Fail, and the fog will swallow the night, and Christmas will be lost forever. – S. Elfish"**
