#St Nick
Note
What are Mr and Mrs Nick opinions on Krampus' punishing people by changing them into toys? Are they okey with that? Do they even have opinions about that? Or do they treat it as his hobby/job?
... Do they advice him sometimes?

Saint Nicholas
270 - 343
Feast Day: December 6
Patronage: Children, sailors, fishermen, merchants, broadcasters, the falsely accused, prostitutes, repentant thieves
Known for his secret generosity, Nicholas would do things such as leaving coins in the shoe people left outside. He would thus serve as the prototype for the character Santa Claus. Nicholas was said to have helped a desperately poor father planning on selling his daughters into prostitution. He gave the family three bags of gold, symbolized by three large golden balls, which he is ofter portrayed.

I started a collection of Christmas characters last year (though I didn’t post ‘em on tumblr), and I'm gonna add to it this year), posting one per day through the 23rd.
COMPANIONS OF CHRISTMAS 1: SANTA CLAUS, or Saint Nicolas (“Santa” means “Saint,” and “Claus” is short for “Niklaus/Nicolas)!
Born to wealthy parents in a small port city in Asia Minor, Nicolas became a gift-giver at a young age when, upon learning that three sisters who wished to wed their loves could not do so because they had no dowry with which to pay their future husband’s family, he tossed coins through their window in the dead of night. Finding that he could so easily change lives for the better and bring hope to those who had little through these small acts of generosity, he sold his property and belongings and used the money to continue helping those he found in need. As he was already following his god Jesus’s order “sell what you possess and give the money to the poor,” it was only natural that he would adhere to the next dictate “then come, follow me,” which he did, becoming first a Christian priest, and, soon after, the bishop of Myra.
While Nicolas, a noted brawler even during his bishophood, never backed down from a fight in service to others. He frequently found himself rescuing the innocent from execution, saving children from those who would exploit them, and battling monsters and creatures long viewed by the Christians as servants of evil. But instead of killing these foes, Nick would recruit them. Using both force and Christian magic, he would make them accompany him on his errands and missions of mercy, and the exposure to his generosity and kindness changed their perception and their hearts, turning them from forces of destruction to forces of good, though few lost any of their wildness.
Nicolas was born a mortal man, and died one, at the age of seventy-three, on December 6, 343. His devotion to his faith and service to his neighbors ensured his place in heaven, but heaven was no paradise for Nick, who fretted constantly for the children of the world. He petitioned the three aspects of his god for a charter, to return to earth and bring joy and comfort to its children through acts of charity and joy. His charter was granted, and he returned to earth one year later, and he has done his good works each December since.

BG3 Santa Playthrough #4
Entering the Druid’s Grove:
Oh my goodness it’s the bossy woman from before, and she’s trapped! We should help her! I don’t want them to be hurt so let’s just tell them to leave. I wonder what explosion they’re talking about? Oh and a camp! Thank goodness! Let’s go find Nettie!
Kindness is never a weakness Shadowheart, I pity whoever taught you that! The more options we have for a cure the better off we are!
Astarion seems to get along with her even if Shadowheart does not, at least someone is making friends! She doesn’t seem very nice though, it’s probably why those two get along :( she still hasn’t told me her name too.
Oh no! Goblins are hurting those tiefkings from before! Who is this young man helping them? Who is the Absolute?? Well, at least the tieflings are safe now.
A Druid has been taken? That’s unfortunate, but no reason to push everyone away! We should speak to whoever is in charge here, perhaps she’ll see reason!
That poor girl lost her brother in the attack, oh I do hope she isn’t about to do something foolish, let’s follow her! She’s going to kill a defenseless prisoner! Well that won’t make her feel any better, let’s help her help herself!
It seems these goblins worship that Absolute person, I’m not so foolish as to let a goblin loose though, they tend to lean toward the naughty side, as does this absolute clearly! Attacking these poor people.
Gale has something to say, oh I like you too Gale! Ah… what an interesting illness, I hope he’ll be okay if we find something for him to… eat? Absorb? Consume? Regardless we are going help him!
My goodness there’s a secret passage behind the makeshift prison! Let’s save that injured man! Goblins are up to no good as usual, seems they’ve found a way to sneak in.
Those traps were no laughing matter, we’d better rest before we approach these other druids from this grove.
Astarion seems to be… fond of me? A surprise considering he offered to kill me before. I’d hate to distrust anyone but he is not making it easy! Mischievous little elf!
It seems the bossy woman is homesick, and she’s from a place called K’liir, a strange name for a strange woman from a strange place.

Still have Christmas on the brain since it’s finally snowy out there (albeit, shockingly cold). So Santa is spending some time in cowboy land with an oversized cowboy hat!
