So this is it?

This is it - the largest town in Sundertand....I guess they're too busy for a welcoming committee.....

Well surely we can manage without...

Yes, but still, it's nice to feel wanted......
*Looks up and down the street.*
It's been a while since I've come here, but......unless there's anything in particular that you want to see, we should probably head left....

Left it is then... Where is everybody??

That's right! I forgot....it's the feast of Haflingobdilber, which is celebrated once every 5 Sundertanian years......what great timing!

How wonderful! Where do they celebrate then??

Just up ahead of us....come on!

*follows*

*they come to a great hall, from inside of which comes the sounds of great joy*

Well, what are we waiting for??

I was waiting for you to catch up, actually......
*Opens the huge, but perfectly weighted wooden doors, which swing inward, revealing thousands of Sundertanians at a feast. Directly in front of them are three wooden tables, each running the entire length of the hall. On each side, and in front of them as they enter, roving minstrels delight the assorted crowd, stopping to eat as they get tired, to be replaced by people at the feast.*

Ooooh how... how...
*speechless*

You're looking a little unsteady there....perhaps you should sit down
*leads her to the nearest table*

*sits down*

Just enjoy everything...there's no pressure...everyone's nice here....

I know they are...

*grabs a large mug of "orange* juice and places it in front of her*

Hmm... Why the quotes?

Well, they don't have actual oranges here....but it's their equivalent...they're very skilled at replicating our foods.....
