You decide that now is a good time for a nap. You're not sure why, but you do.
After sleeping soundly for about 10 minutes, you wake up to the sound of a flat, electronic beat playing loudly in your bedroom. You push aside your bed-curtains and look out. Since you don't have any bed-curtains, and may or may not have a bedroom or a bed, you're pretty sure you're dreaming.
You see a shimmery, transparent guy standing in front of two turntables. He doesn't appear to have a microphone, though. "Greetings, adventurer, he says. "I'm the ghost of Crimbo right-about-now. Greetings, adventurer. I'm the ghost of Crimbo right-about-now. Greetings, adventurer. I'm the ghost of Crimbo right-about-now."
He stops and thumps himself upside the head. "Sorry, got stuck in a loop there. Anyway, I'm here to tell you that you've spent enough time in Crimbo Rock, and you should come to my realm now. If you ever want to save Uncle Crimbo, you've got to get with the now, man. Don't you want to meet Linnea, the Scream Queen? Quit living in the past. Are you ready to go to Crimbo right-about-now? Are you ready to go to Crimbo right-about-now? Are you ready to..."
| Get With The Now |
The ghost smiles and fades away, repeating "When you awake, you can visit Crimbo Right-About-Now. When you awake, you can visit Crimbo Right-About-Now. When you awake..."
| Keep CrimboRock Open |
The ghost fades into the darkness, saying "I will visit you again, then. I will visit you again, then..."
Occurred in the Simple Tool-Making Cave or while resting at your campsite, but only after lit cigar has been used.
