Clark Grismold is starring in the hit at home movie, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!

The lead is of course, Clark Grismold, the Dreadsower . The loving father of two who is having over his family for the holidays, the Dead of Winter , where all and more attend to with many various shenanigans that ensue.

His personal family is Ellen played by Meren of Clan Nel Toth ; Audrey, who is played by Massacre Girl ; and his beloved son Russell who is played by Pir, Imaginative Rascal .

Among his family Aunt Bethany and Uncle Lewis, two of the oldest in their extensive family come and join for the holidays. Both are played by Liliana, Heretical Healer  / Viscera Seer and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician , two relics of their times.Aunt Bethany also, unknowingly brings her Hungry Lynx , when she wraps up in a present to give out that night. Cousin Eddie also shows up with his Wolfrider's Saddle and dog, he can be represented in many ways. The Hunted Horror , Hunted Troll , and mainly Varolz, the Scar-Striped , the man who scavenges anything and everything.

Many shenanigans occur in the days that they have everyone over for the holidays. Grismold's mind starts to go awry as he senses the Illness in the Ranks before the Night's of Soul's Betrayal as Cousin Eddie kidnaps and Dread Returns with Griswold's boss, Mr. Frank Shirley aka Erebos, God of the Dead . Below are some of the scenes: The family goes to get a Tree of Tales , the perfect tree and attach it to their Fleetwheel Cruiser . The Blasting Station of cords and plug ins trips the power constantly as Clark tries to set up his lights. During Christmas Eve, they can hear a Chatter of a Squirrel before a squirrel runs amok the house as it bolts from its Squirrel Nest . The Rampage of the Clans takes place throwing everyone into a frenzy. Clark then gets rid of it via his Heroic Intervention . As things devolve into pandemonium, Clark dons his Assault Suit and grabs his chainsaw i.e. Hammer of Nazahn , and goes and chops down another tree for the family as the previous one goes up in smoke along with the cat. Eddie makes the Road of Return with Mr. Shirley and gives Clark his Sylvan Offering . Clark before this goes on a streak of Curse of Disturbance which his boss hears and gives Clark the Rites of Flourishing . Then the cops try to Whip of Erebos into control before the Bojuka Bog goes alit and sends the Veteran Explorer on another voyage into the air. It all concludes with Aunt Bethany singing a Song of Dryads uniting everyone into a great hymn of the Star Spangled Banner.

The one win con is what Clark had wanted from his boss since the beginning of the movie, a nice bonus so that he can build a pool for his family, he wants to so badly Revel in Riches so that his family can too.
