Clear and Present Danger

You approach the big gift-wrapped building. You're guessing, based on the fact that this building doesn't look like any of the other buildings, that it has a boss in it. You're also guessing, based on context and foreshadowing in previous years, that that boss is Uncle Hobo.

Are you up to the challenge?

Fight!

• If somebody has already entered combat with Uncle Hobo:

You can't pick a fight with the Uncle Hobo right now because your clanmate <name> is currently fighting him.

• If Uncle Hobo has already been defeated:

Turns out somebody already beat up Uncle Hobo. You wander off, disappointed.
