From the moment you set foot beyond the gates of the quaint mountain village, every eye is on you. Halflings - the squat, lively folk renowned throughout the kingdom as creatures of peace and simple living - stare at you from every window and doorway, marking your passage with a kind of awed reverence.

"Welcome, traveler! Welcome to Tiddydell!"comes a voice from down the road. Its owner is quick to follow: a short, pudgy halfling man with a bushy mustache."It's a rare pleasure to have one of the tallfolk visit our humble little burg! Please follow me, if you would, so that I may avail you of our hospitality!"

With that, he marches off down the village's main road and gestures for you to follow. As you do, gaggles of beautiful, small-bodied women gather here and there, giggling and whispering as the mayor guides you up the front steps of the local inn."We've a newcomer, Astrid!"the man calls, catching the attention of the extraordinarily busty halfling blonde wiping tankards clean behind the bar."See that he's well cared for, hmm?"

"Of course,"she replies. For a moment, you think you see her eyes flick below your beltline."Head upstairs. First room on your left is all yours... And do come find me if you need anything, aye?"

You nod in reply and clomp upstairs, your feet still heavy from the hike. You quickly find the room in question and prepare yourself to settle in, but no sooner have you closed the door than you hear someone knocking lightly - almost daintily - at the other side.
