Elf on a Shelf

**Elf on a Shelf** is a quest in *Wasteland 3*.

## Background

*We received a radio call from a distressed 'elf' requesting help from a tyrannical Santa Claus. Time to investigate Santa's operation and locate the distressed elf. Let's find out if Santa should be on our naughty list.*

## Walkthrough

* A seemingly random radio call in the Rockies leads to Santa's Workshop. Explore the main building and talk to Sugarplum Mary to realize that not all is kosher. You can get some more out of her if you tell Santa that you smell cookies.
* To resolve the quest, head out the other door to the back and investigate Santa's home. You need the brain candy recipe from the level 9 safe to confront Santa, which allows you to:
	+ Hard Ass 6: Diplomatically tell him to hike away north.
	+ Kiss Ass 6: Take over his operation with him as manager.
	+ Weird Science 6: Increase efficiency by 200% *and* get double shipments at Ranger HQ.
	+ Arrest: Santa will initiate combat on his terms.
	+ Attack. Note that if you let him initiate combat, you're in a very, very bad position.
* If you choose combat, once Santa is dead you can tell the elves that you are now in charge and have the drugs shipped to Ranger HQ.
* If you decide to free the slaves, you need the Jingle All The Way Schematics or Nerd Stuff/Mechanics 8. Access the slave workshop, then interact with the computer to be able to disable the jingling bells (using schematics to disable, killing the process, or breaking the antenna).

## Rewards

* If you side with Santa or take over: Brain candy deliveries at Ranger HQ.
* If you destroy the camp: Good feelings!
