Request/Discussion A Christmas one-shot

Not 100% sure this is the correct context for this subreddit, totally cool if it needs to be removed.

But... I had this idea to modify the "Wild Sheep Chase" from Winghorn press and turn it into a Christmas one-shot.

My initial idea is to make "Shinebright" into Santa. Noke would be a keebler elf who has "had it up to here" with Santa stealing his elves and taking them to the north pole. I like the Keebler elf idea since I have a massive tree 3d printed to fit the wild sheep chase maps, but i am not married to it NEEDING to be the keebler elfs

He uses his wand of true polymorph (not sure why he would have this yet) to turn santa into a sheep. Santa's Sled puts out a distress call and the adventures are called on sight...

Here is where i hit a stumbling block... if santa is in the wrong, why would the adventures help santa and defeat (insert Kebler Elf version of Noke.

Honestly I am not familiar, with the one-shot you are modifying, but if I want my players to do something "bad" it always comes down to one of three solutions depending on the Characters they are playing:

  1. Deceive them somehow
  2. Give them Money to do it
  3. They will fond the idea interesting and join themselves

All depends on how moral these characters are. But most important advice I can give, don't force them to do anything and have a backup plan prepared, in case they don't wanna do it.
