Tucked away in a plain and unassuming forest is a place that bends the mind and body, a place where only fools, (and those looking for fools) tread.
At first glance, it looks like any other wooded area, except for a large collection of glowing rocks... but looks can be deceiving, especially when you get closer.
Very few have made it away from this place intact and sane, but all of them say: "Leave when everything starts to bend."

Olive made her way to the Refoust forest in search of a missing person. She's been aching for something to do and here this was calling to her. There have been legends about this place but she'll get the job done before she has time to find out if those legends are true. Hm, a Fletcher eh? Olive has heard of their family holding tremendous influential power. Maybe this will get her in their good graces. After all, being saved often has that kind of effect.

Somewhere in the middle of the forest, Olive sees her quarry, just sitting there, terrified out of her mind.
The lady can't seem to see Olive.
She also seems to be trying to say something, but no sound comes out despite being 100 feet away at most.

Olive draws out her sword and decides to approach the woman wondering if she needs help. "Ma'am what happened?" She says as she draws closer to the figure.

Olive cautiously walks over to the person and crouches down beside her. Olive looks at the woman kindly and invitingly while her sword hand is ready in case anything goes wrong.

As Olive approaches, as if she stepped passed a threshold, space starts to bend.
The distance to the Fletcher is elongated until she is far beyond your sight.
A nearby tree bends into an arc that phases into the ground and then shoots off into the sky. The ground splits into an almost quilted pattern with different sections of ground as different colors and types of earth.
This strangeness is only further exaggerated by a voice that speaks into the ears.

Olive sighs and looks around. "yea yea I got it" she feels a little giddy about this. A normal forest is kinda boring but this is exciting. Olive smiles and traverses deeper in.

Olive's sight is immediately pulled in a thousand directions as if it isn't sure what it should be showing her, until it finally settles on the following:
She is in a crowd of people all gathered around a giant log, a bunch of hubbub tells you that people are excited to see an empress.
She also notices that she is a couple feet shorter for some odd reason.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that everyone around Olive, without exception, is a gnome.
And she is equal in height to them...

Olive hopes that she'll change back to her normal height before she has to get back...the guards wouldn't be too happy seeing a gnome trying to get into Isra. She decides to ask a nearby gnome what all of this is.

The nearest gnome to her happily obliges. "Why it's Yuletide in our great city of Isra of course!"
Just then, a cat-eared gnome holding a torch and flanked by several heavily armed and armored gnomes starts to give a speech, she has a strange resemblance that you can't quite put your finger on. "People of Isra! Another year has come and gone, and it pleases me to once again address you on-"
Suddenly, a glowing rock begins to fall from the sky in at immense speed.
Then it disappears.
Then you feel the ground shake as everyone is knocked to the ground.
As Olive stands back up, she realizes the air feels different, like an unresolved tension permeates the space.
The torch-holding gnome speaks again. "That was weir-" But then she is interrupted by being eaten by a Krampus holding a belt of sleigh bells.

Olive looks at what just happened. Hopefully, her size alteration isn't going to hinder her swordsmanship. With a loud guttural cry, she charges at the krampus...man it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

The Krampus easily dispenses with the armored gnomes that were protecting the cat-eared gnome before she was eaten.
The Krampus then takes steps to move around the big log before charging at Olive.

The Krampus takes a large slash across the side, almost splitting it in twain, however seconds afterward it regenerates as if the sword had never touched it at all.
It takes out it's bag and throws a lump of coal at Olive.

Olive's attempt to pin the beast is not particularly successful as that would require pinning something about 3 or 4 times your size, not to mention the fact that it is extremely wily and tries to buck her off at the slightest touch.
