Accidental Burn-Down
Yesterday, the villagers lit the Michaelmas bonfires and accidentally
caused two cottages to burn to the ground! Cob Smith and Beryl
were
inside the
cottages
in the
time;
luckily
both
escaped
alive and
well.
Hopefully
such an
incident
will never
happen
again.
Taxes Due!
Today was also Tax Day! All villagers shall pay for owned
possessions. Many villagers complain about the lord, however, he
ignores them as always and laughs as he pulls in the rent.

Another Flaming Accident!
Another cottage has burned down! Eyewitnesses report that their
chicken wandered too close to the cooking fire, setting itself aflame,
and then it ran around the cottage, setting everything aflame! The
family currently resides in the manor halls until a new cottage is
finished.
