The Almuj Charity is having some trouble finding food for their needy citizens this holiday season...

Stage 1
» Talk to Haily in Almuj.

Dialogue:
 * Haily: Hello, dear. My name is Haily. Nice to meet you.
 * Haily: This is the Almuj Charity center. We're looking for volunteers to help the homeless this year.
 * Haily: If you want to help someone else this year, our boss Nick is already in the thick of it.
 * Haily: He's a really special man. I'll write his location down for you in your book. Oh, remember this is charity work, so hopefully gratitude is a good enough reward for you.

Stage 2
» Go talk to Haily's friend Nick at the poor area.

Dialogue:
 * Nick: Oh. Oh... Oh dear. There's more people here than ever.
 * Nick: Hm, are you just passing through? Oh! A volunteer!
 * Nick: You're the only one this year. Things have really changed. We used to have hundreds of volunteers this time of year.
 * Nick: The people here are starving. There's no two ways about it.
 * Nick: I don't know how we're going to feed everyone this year.
 * Nick: The man who runs the budget store used to be homeless... He knows the struggles they face.
 * Nick: I'll look after things here. Can you go to the budget store? It's really close. Any food is gratefully received.

Stage 3
» Go to the budget store and ask for food.

Dialogue:
 * Flodur: ' ello young lad.
 * Flodur: What can I do fer ye?
 * Flodur: A food donation fer the 'omless?
 * Flodur: I'm sorry but everyfin is sold out, everyone is preparing for Craftmas lad.
 * Flodur: I might have something in the attic, if you find anyfin, you can 'ave it. I know how difficult it gets.

Stage 4
» Look for food on the second floor.

Dialogue:
 * Flodur: Hm... This apple has seen betta days.
 * Flodur: Looks like i'm fresh outta food. Barely got enough to feed myself.
 * Flodur: I wish I had something to give this year. I guess people are having a feast in the city.

Stage 5
» Return to Nick and tell him the bad news. Dialogue:
 * Nick: Any news?
 * Nick: I see. I was counting on him.
 * Nick: I can't be too upset. He donates so much the rest of the year.
 * Nick: We may have to ask the farmers directly...
 * Nick: I know someone in Ternaves with a kind heart.
 * Nick: We've fallen out before, seems he didn't understand what a donation was.
 * Nick: There is a shortcut south from here, in a cave. Go through there.
 * Nick: Oh, also, could you give this blanket to Margaret while you're down in the tunnel? Just follow the road behind me.

Stage 6
» Bring the blanket to the woman in the tunnel south of Nick.

Dialogue:
 * Margaret: Oh, please don't move me along. I have nowhere else to go!
 * Margaret: Oh, a blanket for me? How sweet... From Nick, you say? He's always so kind... Thank you, as well.
 * Margaret: If you want to get to Ternaves quickly, just keep going through this tunnel. Some unfriendly homeless folks live around here too, so be careful. It's so sad, their state.

Stage 7
» Continue the tunnel and find Nick's friend.

Important note: Do not leave the game once the dialogue starts. This will result in a soft lock as Nick will never appear. Dialogue:
 * Reshad: Welcome to my farm! Looking to buy some of my fresh crops?
 * Reshad: Well, it seems you're out of luck. I've just sold the last of them from this harvest.
 * Reshad: It was all for that big Craftmas feast happening in Detlas. Wish I could help you out, but I'm fresh out of food to sell you.
 * Reshad: Wait, I bet Nick sent you, didn't he? Well, he's coming up on your left. Remind him that this isn't a charity.
 * Nick: Hey, ! Any luck?
 * Nick: We can't get any food? We're running out of options here...
 * Nick: Well, there's only one person left that we can appeal to at this time of year.
 * Nick: Follow me.

Stage 8
» Explore the area and look for Santa.
 * This must be Santa's village, you should probably look for him.

Dialogue:
 * Elvura: Heya! I just finished decorating this christmas tree!
 * Elvura: Oh, you're looking for Santa?
 * Elvura: He is right down the stairs to the right.

Stage 9
» Enter Santa's home and speak to him.

Dialogue
 * Santa: Nick... You know the deal.
 * Santa: The council all have their areas to care for. Yours is Almuj. How you care for it is your responsibility.
 * Nick: There's five times more homeless and hungry than last year!
 * Santa: Nick, I know times are tough there, but-
 * Nick: Tough?! It's impossible! What happened to people's good will? I had one volunteer this year! ONE!
 * Santa: I'm sorry Nick. You could go to Detlas and ask there, they have a feast big enough to feed an army!
 * Nick: Hmmm... Oh, sorry. I miscalculated your journey here. Good to see you.
 * Nick: I suppose you heard Santa and I. Our next location is Detlas.
 * Santa: Alright, that's settled then. Leave through the fireplace behind me, it will bring you directly to Detlas. Good luck, Nick.

Stage 10
» Leave through the portal behind Santa.

Stage 11
» Enter the ball room. Note: You do not need a ticket to enter.
 * The portal brought you to Detlas, the ball must be nearby.

Dialogue:
 * Nick: Wow. The people here live in such grandure. I wonder if they know people are starving to the east.
 * Nick: Let's ask around for some donations.
 * Nick: More importantly, let's hope they'll share a trifle of food.

Stage 12
» Ask the guests for food. Dialogue:
 * Server: What are you doing here?
 * Server: This event is invite-only.
 * Server: You aren't even in a formal dress.
 * Server: What do you want?!
 * Server: Food? You want food? Does this look like a charity to you?
 * Server: Of course not! We have an obligation to feed our partygoers, not some poor scraps of men in the desert!
 * Server: Now get out of here before I call the security golems. And don't even think of stealing from the kitchen!

Stage 13
» Steal the food from the kitchen and talk to Nick. Dialogue:
 * Nick: Were you able to get any food?
 * Nick: You do?! I didn't expect them to be so generous, a whole crate?
 * Nick: ...
 * Nick: Oh...
 * Nick: Stealing is not in the christmas spirit... But I think I can make this work.
 * Nick: Go on ahead. I have a plan. Don't worry, I'll return all this food.

Stage 14
» Escape the ball with Nick. Dialogue: You will then be teleported to Almuj. Santa will cast a spell, making it snow temporarily.
 * Nick: Listen up everyone!
 * Nick: I know you are hungry. Because I am too.
 * Nick: But your dinner will not be served tonight.
 * Nick: There will be no Craftmas feast this year!
 * Guest: You can't do that!
 * Guest: The food on the table isn't enough to feed everyone here!
 * Nick: This one night, this one missed meal.
 * Nick: This is how thousands of people live every day.
 * Nick: Hungry, wondering when the food will be available.
 * Nick: And while you sit there with empty stomachs be thankful for what you have. Spare a thought for those who have not.
 * Nick: Hundreds of men, women and children, just like you, will not eat tonight, at all.
 * Nick: All because this enormous feast was not enough. Detlas bought all the food, cheap or expensive.
 * Nick: I'm here to remind you the real meaning of this day. To think of others..
 * Nick: I will return your meal tonight, but while you eat it... I want you to remember every empty mouth it could have fed.
 * Nick: Share what you have, be thankful for what you are given.
 * Guest: ...
 * ???: Well, looks like you came through yet again Nick.
 * Santa: I came to see if I could help out. But it looks like you've done it.
 * Santa: Well, I guess there is only one thing left to do to complete this scene.
 * Santa: Hope you all have a merry craftmas. Ho-ho!

Stage 15
» Talk to Nick. Dialogue
 * Nick: It looks like my little speech brought the rich back down to earth.
 * Nick: They gave us half of their feast. Can you believe they still had leftovers?
 * Nick: All of that food, going straight to waste.
 * Nick: They have no idea what they have, compared to these poor folks.
 * Nick: You might be wondering why I know Santa. Well, he's my brother.
 * Nick: Me and my siblings take care of people at Craftmas. My area is the Almuj desert. I guess you could call me Sanda Claus, heh.
 * Nick: It's people like you that keep the real meaning of this holiday alive. It gets harder every year as the meaning is distorted. Here is a personal gift from me. Thank you.
