Synopsis: Halflings (or Hobbits as some call them) gather to celebrate 
the Wintertide at the Happy Hounds Inn with the annual Brambleshire 
Bake-Off. Although Miss Crickett Tooke wowed the judges with her spice 
bread and her gingerbread house, the grand Prize of 25 gold pieces was 
won by Mongo Sandybanks and his 'Not Entirely Evil Chocolate Brownies'. 
Mayor Berty Bubmlecart was pied by Marcus Piddledoof, and Marcus was 
pied by Mistress Adrianna Durrant in return. Several halfings decided to
 set off to find adventure in the world outside, having heard of 
monstrous armies and adventure on every border outside Orenvale.
The night was celebrated with good food, drink, a rousing game of Name that Cheese, traditional riddling, and Hobbit Hold'em.
