Rudolph the Red
As you near the factory, you encounter a huge reindeer with a bright red nose, delivering a rousing speech to a group of protesting elves. You listen for a while.
It becomes clear to you that this reindeer only sees the world in two colors -- red and pink. He believes that Uncle Crimbo is a bourgoise oppressor, and that the elfretariat need to rise and free themselves from their chains. The fact that those chains are made of brightly-colored paper does not dissuade him at all. He fights for the rights of oppressed elves everywhere. All of the other reindeer laugh and call him names, but that does not dissuade him.
After his speech, he approaches you. "Rudolph the Red knows reign, dear. The reign of terror being perpetrated by the mindless drones of Uncle Crimbo. Will you take up arms with us?"
You size him up, and the size you arrive at is much larger than you. "Uhh... yes?" you say. He smiles and hands you a sign.
 | You acquire Unionize The Elves signs |
Occurs at Crimbo Town Toy Factory (without Unionize The Elves sign equipped)
