**GMs**: Constance Chamberlain

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.
