Act 4:StoryThe race is finally about to get underway at Mt. Useful when everyone is excited to see Santa arrive to see the festivities. Santa is happy to see his old friend Herb again, but Marge warns Santa to take it easy as he’s still recuperating from major surgery. Hibbert shows up with the results from the lab on the object that was removed from Santa’s head, and confirms that it was a piece of a very old Christmas ornament. Lisa sees that it’s a missing piece of Herb’s Christmas ornament found at the crime scene, but… Herb is nowhere to be seen. Suddenly Marge realizes that she knows what happened.There’s no time to explain… Marge needs a way to track Herb and Burns says his hounds can do it, so everyone piles into Burns’ creepy bone sleigh. Literally everyone. Marge, Homer, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Santa, Herb, Mary, Burns, Smithers, Wiggum, Brockman, the Nutcracker… The whole gang is on Herb’s scent.Herb hides in a warehouse, but there’s no denying the scent of Christmas tree or the glinting of ornaments in the light…so they track him down quickly. When they all corner him in the warehouse, Marge lays out the whole thing, which she gets Manacek to mostly explain, revealing that Manacek has been helping this whole time too. Marge reveals that Herb’s story may have lined up with the blood pattern at the crime scene, but they forgot to check… the SAP pattern! They explain that Herb and Mary are, in fact, related and in it together. Mary is Herb’s niece. Herb was sick of Santa taking all the glory every Christmas, and Mary needed a scoop on a story for her new true crime show, so they plotted together to take out Santa for both their gain.Wiggum’s hauls both of them to the slammer and the sleigh race beings. Homer and Bart’s upgrades to the snowmobile prove to be too much for the other contestants, and they win the race. But in the end, Santa seems to be feeling much better and willing to take over again just in time for Christmas. Homer is gutted, but feels relieved once Lisa explains the math of how fast you must go in order to deliver presents to every house in the world in one night.Act 4 Start & End Time: 2022-01-04 14:00 UTC to the end of the event: 2022-01-12 14:00 UTCNotes:• Intro quests will auto-trigger for any player at or above level 15.• Characters who are used to earn event currencies in Act 4: o Homero Barto Margeo Lisao Wiggumo Krustyo Snakeo Sideshow Bobo Park Ranger (Premium)o Mary Tannenbaum (Premium)o Gnome-in-the-Home (Premium)o Nutcracker (Premium)Premium Items:• The Actual North Pole & Nutcracker (Building & Character)o Date Available: 01/04 – 01/12o Cost: 150 Donutso Note: Earns event currency for Act 4Prize Track Items • Flake Blaster (Decoration)• Clip-Clop (Pet)• Christmas Beaver Dam (Decoration)• The Rich Texan Sleigh (Decoration) + Animated Job• Warehouse Hideout (Building) + Mystery Box Token
