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 the Grey moves 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.

This is a special location for the Bug Net. Items which can be caught include: Arctic Blue Butterfly, Brimstone Butterfly, Butter Fly, Funereal Dusky-Wing Butterfly, Monarch Butterfly, and Painted Lady Butterfly.
Choosing an option while Dead simply makes you leave the event.

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".

You stand in front of Gandalf The Grey. Only if it's snowing: Gandalf brushes some snow off his hat. What is it you wish, my friend? he speaks calmly. [Go Forward!] [The One Speed!] (Not quite as good as The Two Speed...) [A Random, Uncharged Wand!] Gandalf the Grey? Let's use your Improbability Device on him!
