Gandalf The Grey

Gandalf The Grey can be reached from the Catapult's standard self-launch with the Lucky Buff and without the Floating Buff while hitting no player or from Coming Out Day! It can also simply be a random event.

In the event, you can make one of the following choices:
 * Go Forward!: Gandalf escorts you for 8-15 spaces with the help of Shadowfax.
 * You can use a Pocket Ball to try to capture Shadowfax after moving forward; this can fail. If successfully caught, the Gandalf event will be queued with a 3-4 turn delay. If attempted but failed, you will move 6-8 spaces back and receive the Skip-A-Turn status.
 * If you find this event while Shadowfax is in a Filled Pocket Ball, the Go Forward! option won't be available.


 * The One Speed!: Gandalf magically enhances your permanent Speed by 1.
 * A Random, Uncharged Wand!: An uncharged Dark Wand or Light Wand will be added to your inventory.
 * If you have an Improbability Device, it can be used before making one of the above choices to change this event into Gandalf The White.


 * After it starts to snow during Winter, you have a chance to use the Pick Snowballs skill to pick up Snowballs before selecting an option.


 * Choosing an option while Dead simply makes you leave the event.

Coming Out Day

 * This event is replaced with the Gandalf The Gay event, which is mechanically identical to the Gandalf The Grey event; the only changes are "Grey" in the flavor text being changed to "Gay".
