On [[Halloween]] 2019, both waiters were working together once again. The two, already worried about their dwindling supplies given the unusually high turnout of guests, were rather concerned when the whole [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] suddenly materialised in the Tavern thanks to the [[Emergency Transport Button]], although the Cupids were quickly returned to the [[Cupid Homeworld]] by [[Lord Thymon]] and, as [[Doc-012|one of them]] had brought a tub of apples, precisely one of the foodstuffs they were fast running out of, it was, in the end, a positive. Just after the Cupids left, Tpxszum was the one to lightly inform [[Darius]] that he'd just missed yet another shot at revenge.

[[File:Neezley and Waiters in The Frost King's Treasure.png|thumb|left|300px|[[Alistair Neezley]] convinces Tpxszum and [[Frederick]] to join him on a real adventure. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Frost King's Treasure (novel)|The Frost King's Treasure]]'')]]In December 2019, while putting the finishing touches to the waiters received an invitation to a quest for [[the Frost King (The Frost King's Realm)|the Frost King]]'s treasure in the land of [[Manik]]. [[Alistair Neezley]], who had recently read about the treasure, convinced them to accept the invitation and take him along, lending [[Alistair Neezley's Void Ship|his ship]] to the quest. After arriving in Manik, the trio met an [[Old man (The Frost King's Treasure)|old man]] who directed them to the mountains where the treasure was supposedly hidden, though he tried to persuade them to get more supplies before they attempted the climb. | |||
Despite Neezley's predictably burdensome antics, they managed to make their way to a ledge near the mountain's peak, where they met up with the various other groups who had been sent identical invitations. As the group included the villainous [[New Wellsian Empire|Wellsians]] and [[Retconning Crocodile]]s, things soon devolved into a fight, but the waiters and [[21-419]] managed to sneak out of it and start making their way up the remaining staircase. Though they were distracted halfway through by the [[red herring]] dropped by the Crocodiles, 21-419 helped them see through the perception trick and they were eventually able to make it to the top of the mountain like the others. | |||
There, however, they discovered that the invitations had been sent as a trap by [[Darius]], who had been attempting to gather everyone he had a grudge against in one spot. The waiters made the list due to allegedly “serving him the wrong drink over and over and over”. The substantially unhinged Darius, however, had not accounted for his assembled foes bringing weapons and generally outnumbering him. They easily overpowered him, and were about to go home when [[Dandy-432]] discovered by pure chance that the treasure really existed. Another fight was about to start when an uncharacteristically mushy [[Pessimist-242]] delivered a moving speech which convinced the treasure-seekers to temporairly put aside their differences and share the treasure equally. Amidst the hoard, Frederick and Tpxszum found a [[trei-mich]], which they'd been missing, and a number of other trinkets with which to complete the Tavern's decor; Neezley, for his part, found a fetchingly weathered-looking sword which he took in order to lend verisimilitude to future tall tales.
