The Forest of Yule is as beautiful as ever. You enjoy walking through here rather a lot. You keep catching glimpses of strange imp-like creatures who are dancing around in the woods. You come to a clearing and find a small village. You near the village and see a gathering of people. You get closer to them and ask 'What's going on?' A fellow who looks like he might be in charge turns to you and says 'Ho, stranger! Welcome to Craciunului Village!' You thank him for the greeting. You look around. 'Everyone seems a bit agitated.'you say. The fellow smiles at the understatement. 'As well they might Friend. In the woods in these parts, we have a kind of brownie, called a Spiridus. They are friendly and helpful for the most part but also mischievous. They knew we are busy with Yule Tide and that we couldn't play, so they decided to steal the villages Yule Tide Pig. We think this is to make us chase them but we're still too busy to do so. You grin. 'Well, I'm just wandering through the woods anyway. I could chase them and see if I can get the Yule Tide Pig from them for you?' The crowd goes quiet. The fellow in charge says 'You'd do that for us?' You nod. 'T'is the season, no?' The fellow grins back. 'True enough! Now, the Spiridus are harmless. All you'll need to do is catch them and if you do so enough, they may point you in the correct direction to find the ring leader. He'll likely have the pig.' You nod. 'I'll be right back!' With that, you dash into the forest, looking for Spiridus.

You dash through the forest. You catch glimpses of swift forms darting around you and hear high pitched giggling. It gets louder as you approach a clearing! You burst into the open and are confronted by a pair of Spiridus! They are giggling and pointing at you. You grin. 'So! You are the ones who need catching, eh?' You leap forward and they scatter, shrieking with laughter! More Spiridus are all around in the trees. They don't want to be left out! After a frantic chase about, you have tagged all the Spiridus. You collapse in the snow. 'So...' you say, panting a bit, 'Which one of you is gonna tell me who has the pig?' One of the Spiridus comes forward. 'Not us big 'un!' he says in a high pitched voice. 'But you might find the boss to the South West. Thanks for playing with us!' With that, the group disappears into the Forest. You get up and start trudging to the South West.

Stage 3 Minimum Level: 2500 Location:Forest of Yule (Craciunului Village) (3, 17) Required Item: None Required Kills: 60 x Winter Spiridus

You sneak up on the clearing. You hear high pitched voices again. The Spiridus you'd chased in the previous clearing appear to have warned this group that a fast running big 'un was coming. You think you might try stealth this time. They don't seem to have heard you. You've gotten into a good position above them on a branch. With a whoop, you drop amongst them, yelling 'Anyone got a pig for me!' Once again, the pair scatters, shrieking with delight to the others hidden around the clearing. Another half hour of frantic chasing and playing tag with the Spiridus and they fall about laughing. They do tell you that there's no pig here but maybe you'll find the boss to the direct North East of the town! With their information given, they scatter into the trees, laughing joyfully! You get up. You have a funny feeling the pig won't be in that clearing either, but this is fun, though exhausting!

You power through the snow towards the next clearing and this time, you let them hear you coming! You explode out of the trees, snow showering everywhere! You yell 'I'm coming to getcha!' and the Spiridus scatter, laughing their high pitched shrieks! Once again, their friends are dashing between the trees. The two in the clearing seem to be playful bait! In short order, the Spiridus are tagged and everyone has fallen around laughing. You ask about the pig and are not surprised to hear that while the ring leader of the Spiridus was here, he heard you coming and dashed off. He's now going to be running through the woods until you catch him. You'll have to find and catch the Spiridus Leader (Elite) and get the Yule Time Pig from him before you can return to the village.

'I think you've more than earned a spot at the village table and a warm bed for the night!' You grin and thank him and are lead off to a relaxed night of merrymaking. You're somewhat surprised to find a lot of the Spiridus are here too, helping out. The fellow tells you they came because they'd had such fun earlier in the day!
