A faint sound of bells can be heard coming from the main entry to town
The sound of bells seems to be growing louder
A wonderful smell begins to float through the air
A joyful singing can be heard from a far

Late last evening there was a ruckus of yelling and wardrums close to the town border in the northwest. Those that were in the Count's house, the Barony, and the town guard responded to the band of trolls but were held back as the trolls assaulted them from afar with trebuchets filled with the heads of missing scouts. The true target of the attack became obvious as the Watchdog went up in flames, the paper and ink held in the building causing it to catch fast and burn uncontrollably before anybody could stop it. Toby, Daniel, Simon, Brent, Bernard, and Luis were all recovered fairly unharmed, though the youngest of the dogkyn was understandably shaken. Scotty, Domino, and The Duke have been taken to the Healer's Guild to deal with minor burns and smoke inhalation and are expected to make full recovery. Cyrus, Sharia, and Pete are in more serious condition. While Sharia is being treated Lily Martindell and Sapphire have offered their homes to the now homeless feralkyn, though Daniel, Simon, and Domino have all vowed to stay at the Healer's Guild until everybody is healed. The Watchdog building was completely unsalvageable, and until further notice, no papers will be printed or available for sale.
Lady Orchid hears the sounds of bells and retreats a bit deeper into her library. The sound is distracting her from researching her books in an effort to assist with a request from Robin and Tharivol.
A harem of women come dancing into town giggling and singing a lively song
"go to sleep you little baby
go to sleep you little baby"
Wearing light purple dresses flowing in the wind and bells all over jingling loudly
while they make flower crowns for each other they continue to sing
"come lay your bones on the alabaster stone
and be my ever loving baby"
Lady Orchid mutters and tries to refocus on her research, eventually resorting to stuffing her ears with cotton if the singing gets to be too distracting.
The girls settled close to the market district, gleefully listening to the sound of men at work, trying to woo them over. Each night they would sing and dance next to a small fire pit they had created, hoping others would come along and join in...
After a few days, the girls were disappointed that no one came out to sing and be merry with them. As their flower crowns started to wilt, the ladies grew even sadder leading to an unanimous vote that this town is boring!
They packed all of their things that they had obtained in the past few days and headed out for a new town... the one they call Foundstone.
They began to sing and dance again excited to find new and exciting things. As the girls leave Kings Hollow, the sound of bells and singing becomes fainter in the distance...
