Start

Aubury

• Aubury: Have you seen Santa? Perhaps you should speak to the Queen of Snow.

Doc

• Doc: Have you seen Santa? Perhaps you should speak to the Queen of Snow.

Orla Fairweather

• Orla Fairweather: Have you seen Santa? Perhaps you should speak to the Queen of Snow.

Queen of Snow

• Player: How's the Christmas preparation going this year?
• Queen of Snow: Oh, thank the elves you've arrived. It's all gone horribly wrong.
• Player: What seems to be the problem? Perhaps I can help?
• Queen of Snow: My... Santa... has gone missing. It's rather out of character. He hasn't disappeared like this since...
• Player: Since...?
• Queen of Snow: Well, since we had Jack, but that's not overly important...
• Player: Gone missing you say? That sounds very unlike him...I mean, for must of us he's missing for every other day of the year anyway. Perhaps he's just had a jar too much of the good stuff. I'm sure he'll turn up soon.
• Queen of Snow: He's been gone for days...and just because you don't see us doesn't mean we're not busy all year!
• Player: Alright, I'm sorry. Do you have any more information to go on?
• Queen of Snow: He's been complaining about the odd lack of children in Gielinor and how most of them are naughty. Recently, he seems obsessed with trying to create the 'perfect child'!
• Queen of Snow: He claims that little clockwork gnome has been talking to him. I think he's going a bit mad, personally.
• Player: You already have a child though? Jack. What's wrong with him?
• Queen of Snow: I don't think I need to answer that...
• Player: Okay so, jokes aside, what's the next step?
• Queen of Snow: Well, from what I remember, he said he was coming here to check on a sell offer for one of his tatty old hats to fund some crazy plan, but he's nowhere to be seen.
• Player: Wait! His hat? As in...Santa's very own hat? The one he's had since 2004?
• Queen of Snow: I'm not sure, it's very old though. He seems to think it's amusing trying to sell it for billions, but I can't understand why people would want that grotty old thing.
• Queen of Snow: Perhaps you can start by talking to those three over there.
• Player: Orla, Aubury and Doc?
• Queen of Snow: That's right. They all claim Santa came to them before he disappeared.
• Queen of Snow: Oh! Another thing, Rudolph is gone too. He left without the other reindeer.
• Queen of Snow: He rarely goes anywhere without all of them.
• Player: Rarely?
• Queen of Snow: Well you didn't hear this from me, but he's been known to compete in various overground flying races. The carpets and gnomecopters are no match for Rudolph.
• Player: ...seems like cheating to me.
• Queen of Snow: Probably, let's just say they were recently banned for lapping the Grand Vizier. Twice.
• Player: Sounds suspicious. Did you ask them if they'd seen Santa?
• Queen of Snow: No one from the races has seen him for months.
• Player: Right... I'll go talk to Orla, Aubury and Doc. Let's find out what they know.
• (Quest information opens.)
  • Not Right Now
    • Queen of Snow: Maybe they will come back soon...
  • Accept Quest
    • Queen of Snow: Excellent. Let me know what Orla, Aubury and Doc say!

Before talking to Orla, Aubury, and Doc

Queen of Snow

• Queen of Snow: What have Orla, Aubury and Doc got to say?
• Player: I'm not done talking to them yet, bear with me.

Talking to Orla, Aubury, and Doc

Aubury

First conversation

• Player: So why did Santa come to you?
• Aubury: Hello young [man/lady]. Nicklaus required wisdom of this wisened wizard.
• Aubury: He seems unwavering in his pursuit of granting life to that clockwork toy of his. I told him to talk to a master smith; someone who knows the distinct attributes and peculiarities of different metals.
• Player: A smith? Hmm...
• Aubury: He may well learn more about what can and can't be achieved. It wouldn't be the first time metal has been given, at least a form of, life.
• Player: I guess that does make sense.
• Aubury: I'm afraid that's all I know.
• Information obtained: X/3

Subsequent conversations

• Aubury: I'm afraid that's all I know. Best speak to the others, youngster.

Doc

First conversation

• Player: So why did Santa come to you?
• Doc: Well [fella/lass], it sounds like he's taken a knock to his noggin.
• Doc: He came to inquire as to whether it would be possible to turn his wee clockwork toy into a real live being, you see.
• Player: His clockwork gnome?
• Doc: Aye. I told him about the old dwarven golems that were infused with magic. Most dwarves haven't used magic in an age - except Imcando dwarves, that is.
• Player: Then what?
• Doc: That's it, my [fella/lass]. He went on his way from there.
• Information obtained: X/3

Subsequent conversations

• Doc: I've told you all I know about this. Best speak to the others, [fella/lass].

Orla Fairweather

First conversation

• Player: So why did Santa come to you?
• Orla Fairweather: Hello my dear. We study anima, memories, balance, and lifeforce.
• Orla Fairweather: He wanted to know of a way to put the anima into the inanimate.
• Player: What...?
• Orla Fairweather: Breathe life into the lifeless. Just a play on words, my dear.
• Player: So this is about his clockwork gnome, isn't it?
• Orla Fairweather: That it is. I told him Divination probably isn't the answer, and that perhaps he should find someone who can imbue things with magical properties.
• Player: Right...thanks, I think.
• Orla Fairweather: I'm sorry I can't be of more use!
• Information obtained: X/3

Subsequent conversations

• Orla Fairweather: I've told you all I know about this. Best speak to the others, my dear.

After talking to Orla, Aubury, and Doc

Queen of Snow

First conversation

• Queen of Snow: What did Orla, Aubury and Doc say?
• Player: It seems as though Santa wants to turn his clockwork gnome into a...'real boy'.
• Queen of Snow: Oh Nick... What are you up to now...?
• Player: Doc told Santa that dwarves used to infuse their mechanical golems with a form of life, but dwarves can't use magic any more...except for Imcando dwarves that is.
• Player: Santa also went to Aubury and Aubury told him to find a remarkable smith. Someone who really knows about the properties of different metals.
• Player: Finally, Orla told Santa that it'd be a good idea asking someone who can imbue or upgrade things with magical properties.
• Queen of Snow: I see...
• Player: So we just need to find an Imcando dwarf master smith who knows how to imbue things with magical properties...
• Queen of Snow: ...
• Queen of Snow: Thurgo.
• Player: Thurgo...?
• Queen of Snow: Thurgo meets all of the criteria with startling accuracy. He lives in a hut south of Port Sarim.
• Player: I'll go talk to him.
• Queen of Snow: Bring a redberry pie...just in case.

Subsequent conversations

After talking to the Queen of Snow

Aubury

• Aubury: If you find any more information about Santa's whereabouts, be sure to let the Queen of Snow know.

Doc

• Doc: Hey [fella/lass]. If you've any more information about Santa, tell the Queen of Snow, aye?

Orla Fairweather

• Orla Fairweather: If you find any more information about Santa, let the Queen of Snow know, my dear.

Talking to Thurgo

    • Player: I'm looking for Santa. Has he been by here?

    • (If a redberry pie is not in the inventory:)
      • Player: Me. The Queen of Snow. Probably many others. He's gone missing.
      • Thurgo: I know where he is, but I'm respecting his wishes by not telling you.
      • Player: What if I bring you a redberry pie?
      • Thurgo: Huh. Maybe we could come to an arrangement...
      • (Dialogue terminates)
    • (If a redberry pie is in the inventory:)
      • Thurgo: Wait. Is that a redberry pie I smell?
      • Player: It sure is. If I give you this pie, will you tell me about Santa?
      • Thurgo: I'd never say no to a redberry pie! They're GREAT stuff!
      • You hand over the pie. Thurgo eats the pie. Thurgo pats his stomach.
      • Thurgo: Right. Old Nicklaus wanted to know if there was a way to upgrade his clockwork gnome buddy.
      • Player: ...and is there?
      • Thurgo: I have no idea. I simply told him of a method that may work.
      • Player: ...and what method is that?
      • Thurgo: I told him to hold the gnome in front of that Black Dragon Queen's flame breath, of course.
      • Player: ...what?
      • Thurgo: It works for Royal Crossbows, at least!
      • Player: Oh...my...
      • Player: Okay, I need to go rescue them, and fast.
      • Thurgo: You can find the entrance to her lair by some white knights, just west of Port Sarim.

At the Grand Exchange

• (If a redberry pie was not given to Thurgo:)
  • Player: Thurgo wants me to give him a redberry pie before he talks.
  • Queen of Snow: I did tell you. He is a stubborn one!
  • (Dialogue terminates)
• (If a redberry pie was given to Thurgo:)
  • Player: Thurgo...told Santa...
  • Player: Thurgo told Santa that he should brandish the clockwork gnome in front of the Queen Black Dragon's extremely hot flame breath...
  • Queen of Snow: What!?
  • Queen of Snow: IS HE ABSOLUTELY INSANE!?
  • Queen of Snow: <Player>, please find them! Please bring them back.

Queen of Snow

• Queen of Snow: I'm not going to stop you from playing along, but we do have other matters to attend to...

Aubury

First conversation

• Aubury: So, I've been musing on the problem at hand. I think it may be possible, if we harness a large amount of magic energy, to spark some life into that little clockwork gentleman.
• Santa Claus: Aubury, what do you propose? Is that what this magical-looking rift thing is for?
• Aubury: Quite right. Let the adventurers charge it up a bit and we'll give it a go.
• Player: That means me, right? What do I need to do?
• Aubury: I need you to remember these details...
• Aubury: Anomalies will appear. They will destabilise the energy source, this is not good.
• Aubury: You can seal anomalies while continuing to channel the rift, as long as you concentrate.
• Aubury: I need you to demonstrate your ability to seal 15 anomalies without breaking your connection to the rift.
• Aubury: Have you got all that?
• Player: I think so.
• Select an option
  • Anomalies are bad.
    • Select an option

          • I will need to seal 15 anomalies.
            • Aubury: Very astute. Go ahead and channel the rift please.
            • (Dialogue terminates.)
          • I will need to seal 5 anomalies.
            • Aubury: Oh dear. No. Not quite.
            • Aubury: I need you to remember these details...
            • (Dialogue returns to Aubury's explanation of anomalies.)
          • 'Anomalies' is a weird word...
            • Aubury: Oh dear. No. Not quite.
            • Aubury: I need you to remember these details...
            • (Dialogue returns to Aubury's explanation of anomalies.)

• Player: What now?
• Aubury: We're going to need rune essence for attunement purposes. Either 10 pure essence or 10 regular rune essence will work. I assume you're capable to obtaining some?
• (If the essence is carried:)
  • Player: I have some right here.
  • Aubury: Grand. Let's try this!
  • Screen fades out and then fades in.
  • Aubury and the player channel the energy rift, diverting some power into the clockwork gnome.

Returning to Santa Claus with some unattempted methods

• Santa Claus: Well that didn't work... Who's next?

Doc

First conversation

• Doc: Right, well, I've been thinkin' about it since Santa first came to me. I have an idea that might jolt that wee clockwork fella into the land of the living.
• Santa: Doc, what do you propose? What do you plan on doing with that machine?
• Doc: It's going to generate a massive amount of power. Far more than any other generator has before.
• Player: Is that a good idea...?
• Doc: You're right. It IS an idea.
• Player: ...
• Doc: You look a little shocked. Ha! I know, it's dangerous. Pushing boundaries usually is.
• Player: Okay so what do you need me to do?
• Doc: First, we're gonna need 100 units of pale energy as a basic catalyst. Can ye get us some, [fella/lass]?
• (If 100 pale energy is in the inventory:)
  • Player: I have some right here.
  • Doc: Well, well! Let's give this a go then. You'll need to maintain the machine while it charges up, though!
  • Player: So I need to keep the generator from falling apart?
  • Doc: We need to see whether you can handle it while I've got the power down a little.
  • Doc: After that... We'll push the power right up. See if we can zap a little life into our clockwork friend here.
  • (Dialogue terminates)
• (If 100 pale energy is not in the inventory:)
  • (Dialogue terminates.)

• Doc: Not too shabby.
• Doc: The generator is now set to overcharge. This is the fun part. You'll need to fix the machine via the control panel should it start to smoke.
• Player: ...should it start to smoke?
• Doc: Fine. WHEN it starts to smoke. I need to be sure you can handle it while I monitor the power output.
• Doc: Keep repairing it and you'll eventually see the panel start to smoke. Just be careful. Go.

Maintaining the power generator

• The control panel starts to smoke!
• (If the control panel is pressed:)
  • Doc: Good work, [fella/lass].
  • Player: What now?
  • Doc: Time to test the damn thing.
  • Player: Okay, I'll get the clockwork gnome...
  • Doc: No, no, no.
  • Player: Huh?
  • Doc: We're going to test it on you first, pal. Chapter 11 in the Invention guidebook.
  • Player: Guthix save me. Okay, fine. Let's do this.

  • Doc: How was it!?

Returning to Santa Claus with some unattempted methods

• Santa Claus: Well that didn't work... Who's next?

Orla Fairweather

Before showing the lobsters

• Orla Fairweather: Okay. I had an idea while you were rescuing Santa. Wonderful job, by the way. I believe I know of a way to transfer some life into his little clockwork friend.
• Santa: Did I hear that correctly, Orla?
• Orla Fairweather: Yes indeed! It's completely experimental, of course.
• Player: What's new?
• Orla Fairweather: ...
• Player: Okay so what do you need me to do?
• Orla Fairweather: I've organised a rather...unorthodox...trade. I need you to bring me a dozen raw lobsters.
• (If the lobsters are not carried:)
  • Player: Sure. It's not the weirdest request I've ever had.
• (If the lobsters are carried:)
  • Player: I have some right here.
  • Orla Fairweather: Wonderful.
  • Orla Fairweather: Keep them. I need you to trade them with a gentleman in the Kharidian desert.
  • Player: Okay, where is this trade exactly?
  • Orla Fairweather: I told him to meet you east of Al Kharid, upon the strykewyrm plateau. He should be waiting there eagerly. Lobsters are a delicacy in Menaphos don't you know.
  • Player: You've made a trade deal with a Menaphite smuggler?
  • Player: Again, not the weirdest thing ever, I guess.
  • Orla Fairweather: Needs must, my dear.

Menaphite Smuggler

Before proceeding with the deal

• Player: Hi...?
• Menaphite Smuggler: Yes adventurer? Did our mutual acquaintance send you?
• Player: Orla? Yes.
• Menaphite Smuggler: I guess anonymity is off the table then. Amateurs. Do you have the merchandise?
• Player: The...lobsters?
• (If the lobsters aren't carried:)
  • Player: No, sorry. I came all this way for nothing. I'll go get the lobsters.
• (If the lobsters are carried:)
  • Menaphite Smuggler: Yes. Is this your first time participating in a shady deal or something?
  • You hand over the lobsters.
  • Player: No. Orla just didn't tell me much about it.
  • Menaphite Smuggler: I take the...merchandise. You take the obelisk. No problem.
  • Player: ...
  • Player: Wait.
  • Player: How am I supposed to bring that obelisk back?
  • Orla: All done, <Player>? We'll teleport you and the obelisk back now if you're ready?
  • Teleport to the Grand Exchange?
    • Yes.
      • Player: Erm...sure.
      • Player: Go for it.
      • The player and obelisk get teleported to Grand Exchange.
    • Not yet.
      • (Dialogue terminates.)

Returning to Orla before teleporting the obelisk

• Orla Fairweather: You've returned? Without our part of the bargain? Please go back to the desert and get what you went for!

After proceeding with the deal

• Menaphite Smuggler: I take the...merchandise. You take the obelisk. No problem.

  • Not yet.
    • (Dialogue terminates.)

After teleporting the obelisk

First conversation

• Player: Okay, well we now have a soul obelisk...
• Orla Fairweather: Quite right. These things have been a menace to the Menaphites. After a bit of research on their effects, it seems that they siphon the soul energy of those around them.
• Player: You've just teleported a soul siphon to Varrock? What a marvelous holiday gift to the people.
• Player: Merry Christmas, King Roald! Here! Have your soul eaten by a giant evil stone block from the desert!
• Orla Fairweather: ...
• Player: Happy holidays, citizens! We're gonna suck the 'soul' straight out of winter solstice!
• Orla Fairweather: Yes, well. Not to worry. This one has been mostly deactivated, and will only work when channeled directly.
• Player: Ah.
• Orla Fairweather: Time to channel the obelisk, <Player>. Keep your energy balanced for both your safety, and for maximum effect.
• Player: Okay. Let's do this.

Subsequent conversations

• Orla Fairweather: Time to channel the obelisk, <Player>. Keep your energy balanced for both your safety, and for maximum effect.
• Player: Okay. Let's do this.

• Soul absorption: 100%
• Orla Fairweather: That should be enough. How do you feel?
• Player: Yes.
• Orla Fairweather: You feel...yes? Okay, sure. You'll live, my dear.

After siphoning the obelisk

• Orla Fairweather: It appears that we're ready to try this.
• Orla Fairweather: Let's get your...donation...into that clockwork gnome.
• Try the obelisk on the Clockwork Gnome?
  • Yes.
    • The screen fades out and back in.
    • The obelisk attempts to power up the Clockwork Gnome.
    • Orla Fairweather: Oh rubbish. I really thought that would work.
    • The screen fades out and back in.
    • Orla Fairweather: Hmm... It doesn't appear to have worked. A dear shame, but a lot learned, I feel.
    • Clockwork Gnome: Feel...stu...pid...er...
    • Player: ...wait, what are you implying?
    • Clockwork Gnome: Ah...ha...ha.
    • Santa: Oh hohoho!
    • Orla Fairweather: Well, we tried! Unfortunately to no avail this time.
  • Not yet.
    • (Dialogue terminates.)

• Orla Fairweather: Well, we tried! Unfortunately to no avail this time.

Returning to Santa Claus with some unattempted methods

• Santa Claus: Well that didn't work... Who's next?

Powers combined

In Grand Exchange

Talking to Santa Claus

• Santa Claus: Thank you all for trying.
• Santa Claus: Perhaps it's best we give up. We've already lost Rudolph in this foolish plot.
• Player: Poor Rudolph.
• Queen of Snow: So what ACTUALLY happened to Rudolph?
• Santa Claus: We were searching for a way to give life to my clockwork toy, and Rudolph lost his life in the process.
• Queen of Snow: Oh no... Nick... Oh, that's...
• Santa Claus: I know.
• Player: What will you do with his ashes?
• Aubury: Speaking of which, at the risk of creating more hope, may I suggest one more experiment to try?
• Orla: Is now really the time, Aubury?
• Aubury: Well...yes, genuinely, but not for the clockwork gnome this time, for Rudolph.
• Player: What do you suggest?
• Aubury: I assume you're all aware of the Phoenix? A magical creature, near-immortal, able to grant itself life from its own ashes.
• Santa Claus: What are you saying?
• Aubury: I think we should take Rudolph's ashes...to the Phoenix Lair. I think the clockwork gnome should come too.
• Santa Claus: I'm not sure of the point any more. What do you say, <Player>?
• Player: It could be worth a shot. We've come this far.
• Aubury: The rift has huge amounts of power left over from everyone charging it. I can recalibrate it to send us to straight to the Phoenix Lair.
• Santa Claus: Alright. Let's try it. Talk to me when you're ready to go.

Talking to Aubury

• Aubury: I guess we should go visit the firebird then. Get Santa and we'll head there now.

Talking to Clockwork Gnome

• Clockwork Gnome: Tin...gles. Feel...diffe...rent.

Talking to Doc

• Doc: I'm not sure that a magical bird will have the answer, but I'm not gonna rule it out, [fella/lass]!

Talking to Orla Fairweather

• Orla Fairweather: Oh do be careful if you're going to the Phoenix Lair.

Talking to Queen of Snow

• Queen of Snow: What next? Are we going to ask Araxxor to spit on the gnome? Maybe we'll get the giant mole to nuzzle him with its magic whiskers...

Returning to Santa Claus

• Santa Claus: Shall we go to the Phoenix Lair then <Player>?
• Are you ready?
  • Yes.
    • The player is teleported to Phoenix Lair with Clockwork Gnome and Santa Claus.
    • Phoenix appears.
  • No.
    • Santa Claus: OK, let me know when you want to go.

In Phoenix Lair

• Santa: Hello there...
• Phoenix: Hello.
• Player: Hello.
• Phoenix: Hello.
• Santa: Hello?
• Phoenix: And goodbye!
• Player: No wait! We need your help.
• Phoenix: Oh? Who is this? Red clothes, a huge white beard... Santa? Is that you?
• Santa: Why yes, would you be able to help poor Rudolph?
• Phoenix: Well, since it's the Bringer of Joy, I'm not sure I can refuse! What seems to be the problem?
• Player: You see he's experiencing a slight case of burnt-to-ash.
• Santa: Quite...
• Phoenix: Oh dear. This is very upsetting.
• Santa: Is there anything that you can do?
• Phoenix: Hmm... Rudolph is a being of magic. He is currently in the perfect state for the Ritual of Rebirth...Maybe...Maybe I can help.
• Santa: Please! It doesn't matter how small the odds are, please try!
• The screen fades out and back in, focused in the center of the lair.
• Santa carefully places Rudolph's ashes before the phoenix
• Phoenix: Dabarim Kana'anim!
• The ashes turn into Rudolph Reborn.
• Phoenix: Oh?
• Player: Woah!
• The screen fades out and back in, back at the entrance to the lair.
• Santa: Thank you! Oh Rudolph, are you feeling alright?
• Rudolph: Wheee!
• Rudolph flies for a while.
• Santa: Are those wings!?
• Player: Flaming wings! Is that normal?
• Phoenix: I'm as surprised as you are.
• Phoenix: The magical essences, of the Phoenix and of this wonderful little creature, are now entwined and combined. Perhaps this is a physical manifestation of the union of the two.
• Player: Aren't you forgetting something else?
• Santa: Oh yes! My friend here is feeling a little mechanical.
• Clockwork Gnome: Hell...lo
• Phoenix: Hello?
• Santa: Let's not start that again. As one final request, would you be able to breathe life into this Clockwork Gnome? Make him more real perhaps?
• Phoenix: Real?
• Santa: Like a real Gnome.
• Phoenix: Hmmm that is a 'real' conundrum, I haven't seen Phoenix magic do such a thing, but theoretically...
• Santa: Great, let's give it a go then!
• Phoenix: Well, okay. Alas, he will have to be doused in Phoenix fire as well.
• Clockwork Gnome: It...will be..eee..hot?
• Santa: Don't worry, It's a nice fire made from the magic of our friend here. It just helped Rudolph, you'll be safe!
• Player: ...and the melting point of steel is actually pretty high.
• Santa: What was that?
• Player: Oh nothing!
• The screen fades out and back in, focused in the center of the lair.
• Clockwork Gnome walks up to Phoenix.
• Phoenix: Dabarim Kana'anim!
• Clockwork Gnome: Ahh!
• The screen fades out and back in, back at the entrance to the lair.
• Santa: Clockwork, are you okay?
• Phoenix: I'm sorry did that hurt?
• Clockwork Gnome: No...I...was...just...surprised.
• Clockwork Gnome: Am...I..a...real...Gnome?
• Santa: I'm sorry, my little friend. It's beginning to seem as though it's not possible.
• Clockwork Gnome: Oh...
• Phoenix: I'm sorry, I hoped it would work, but I've never tried to do anything like that before.
• Santa: Nonsense! You've done so much for me already, I'll be sure to make a special stop off to give you a present for being such a good little...
• Santa: ...
• Phoenix: Girl.
• Santa: Girl! Of course! Well, we had better get going! Come on Rudolph, I'm sure the other reindeer will want to see you!
• Player: Goodbye, and thank you!
• The player is teleported back to Grand Exchange with Clockwork Gnome, Rudolph Reborn, and Santa Claus.

Back in Grand Exchange

Talking to Aubury

• Aubury: You got Rudolph back, good job!

Talking to Clockwork Gnome

Talking to Orla Fairweather

• Orla Fairweather: I'm so happy Rudolph is back!

Talking to Queen of Snow

• Queen of Snow: What in the world happened to Rudolph?

Talking to Rudolph Reborn

• Rudolph Reborn: I liked the fire flap creature. Am I a fire flap creature too? I enjoy adventures. Life is an adventure. I like life.

Talking to Santa Claus

• Santa: I'm glad we got Rudolph back, but it seems we'll have to abandon our quest... we've tried everything to turn my little mechanical friend into a real gnome.
• Aubury: While you were away we've been thinking, all our ideas were good.
• Doc: But perhaps not enough.
• Player: What are you suggesting?
• Orla: Perhaps individually our methods were insufficient, but we could try doing them simultaneously!
• Player: Hmmmm...It's worth a shot. Do you think so little guy?
• Clockwork Gnome: Oh...boy...
• The screen fades out and back in with Doc at Control Panel.
• Player: Right. We'll start with the rift first...
• Aubury channels the energy rift.
• Player: Now Doc! Turn on the machine!
• Doc: Righto!
• Doc presses Control Panel.
• Player: Orla, start powering the Obelisk!
• Orla Fairweather: Yes, <Player>!
• Orla siphons the modified soul obelisk.
• Clockwork Gnome: I...feel...strange...
• Clockwork Gnome begins glowing with energy.
• Clockwork Gnome: Ahhhh!
• Clockwork Gnome transforms into Clockwork.
• Clockwork: Ahhhh...?
• Clockwork: What...is... What is this...feeling?
• The screen fades out and back in.

Talking to Aubury again

• Aubury: Well what do you know, it worked. Astounding!
• Select an option
  • Where'd you get that cape?
    • Aubury: Aha. It's my 'going out' cape. One of a kind!
  • Can I carry on channeling the rift?
    • Aubury: Sure thing! Remember that you can configure it to improve either your Runecrafting or your Summoning expertise.
  • We did it as a team.
    • Aubury: A fantastic team we do make. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Talking to Clockwork

• Clockwork: Wow! This is incredible! Look at my skin! I have skin!
• Player: How do you feel?
• Clockwork: Marvellous! Daring! Terrified! Energetic! Tired! Tranquil! Excited! Hopeful! Cautious!
• Clockwork: I have no idea! I need to get a hold on all these feelings. They...they're overwhelming!
• Player: Oh, I'm rather envious of you right now...
• Clockwork: Thank you so much for all of your help.

Talking to Doc again

• Doc: There's no way in heck we'll be able to recalculate those parameters...but by my beard it worked!
• Doc: By all means, feel free to continue tinkering with the generator for experience in Smithing or Crafting!

Talking to Orla Fairweather again

• Orla Fairweather: The power of teamwork...

Talking to Queen of Snow again

• Queen of Snow: Oh look at him, isn't he wonderful?
• Queen of Snow: I'm not sure what we would have done without you, <Player>. Thank you.

Talking to Rudolph Reborn again

• Rudolph Reborn: I am happy to exist! Life is wonderful! Also, my nose is red! Wheee!

Talking to Santa Claus again

• Santa: Amazing! How are you feeling little guy?
• Clockwork: Woah! I can feel everything!
• Clockwork: The wind...the sun...the snow beneath my feet!
• Player: That's great, buddy.
• Clockwork: Thank you, everyone, for helping me!
• Santa: Yes! Thank you <Player>, you really saved the day!
• Santa: ...and it looks like Rudolph wants to stick with you, pal! Take care of him for us.
• Congratulations! Quest completed!

Post-quest dialogue

Talking to Orla Fairweather

• Orla Fairweather: Now, my dear, you are welcome to train your Divination and Prayer skills on this obelisk for the time being. It should be reasonably safe.

Talking to Santa Claus

• Santa Claus: Thank you <Player>, you really saved the day!
• Santa Claus: Take care of Rudolph for us!
