There is a Grenth who hides behind the Competition Arena sign in Lion's Arch.. somewhere you're not supposed to go but you can go...
He says something like "if you try to get past I'll blow all your toys"
EDIT: I thought it was a wink from the developers that there was a Grentch waiting there but the Grentches in fact always say that. They will follow you behind the CA signpost, if you try to hide there. That's how they end up appearing there, after they have blown your Present, one of them seems to be stuck behind the CA signpost.

Tombs is off of the mission you do after Ascension - the 6 dragons/facets - the one that sends you to Droknar's Forge. You can pretty easily miss that, even more so if you were run to Droks and never bothered with that mission

In PvE joined to dragons lair, it can only be got to once you acsend(sp?) in the desert.
Or a PvP character can get there straight away.

Just go to the dragons lair mission (cave) then have a look around for the zone portal.

Here's a trick for Grentches in the cities :
If you pick up a Present, and you see Grentches coming (fast moving green dots on radar), drop the Present before they get to you. If you moved enough distance from where you picked it up, you will see them passing by you AND passing by the Present (that is on the floor), and going for where the Present actually appeared. So when the Grentches just passed you by, pick up the Present again and continue runing !
They will turn back and start racing after you, once they have reached the Present "spawning" spot, but this may give you enough time to reach one of the kids.
EDIT: this works when the Grentches are coming from the opposite direction, that is, they come facing you, in that case they ll run past behind you to where the Present spawned. This lets you get past them with the Present. However if they came from behind and you drop the present, they already have checked the spot where you picked it up, so they will destroy the Present on the floor when you drop it in that case.

Sigh, many people are guillable these days.
Like I said earlier, it's part of the script. You can't prove it triggers unless no one says THAT word and that NPC stopped saying things like that. Common Sense.

So, How many people have already thought about this and are hording candy canes like there is no tomorrow? Since Candy canes remove DP no matter how much you have accured. (I have tested this). How valuable are they to the farmers of FOW and such??? or the people trying to do the Thunder head keep mission??? hmmm.....
djdood
Those candy canes (whole ones - not shards) are going to be worth buku gold once this is all over (if they don't disappear).
My wife just tried one and it does indeed remove *all* death penalty. Very nice thing to have on long quests like Galrath.

I do the Northern wall mission solo with my Elemetalist. I even take out the Charr at the end to get extra Charr carvings and the run only takes 12 minutes. I make about 2-3k and have enough tradeables for about 50 candy canes after 6-8 runs. Oh and no i do not run to the end I just let it time out.

Can anyone find out the song that the Carolers of Grenth sing? It's like the twelve days of Christmas. i only get parts of it; i've been standing near them for liek 30 min and they won't sing it -.-

Although I haven't caught it either, the Dwayna Carolers do the same thing. I wish ArenaNet made them sing more, and faster...

Shouldn't we be hearing from the Koreans about the Wintersday stuff? Or do you think that it will hit the Korean servers tomorrow?

Its winters day and nada so far.. Except that the crier that was counting down to wintersday is gone, as well as the avatars of grenth and dwayna in LA. I wonder when they plan to do the event. The general assumption is hourly like halloween, naturally..
