Trays and trays of food had been brought out - mostly courtesy of Bachi, the towns superstar baker - and laid on trestle tables around the temple green for people to take as they pleased. From the buttery, barrels of ale had been rolled down the streets to the green. Apparently they had caused quite the traffic jam on Septim Lane. She grinned, going through the list in her hand. The food was ready, the bonfire built, pies and ales... ah, yes! The parade. As she had simple given the town craftsmen a budget and told them to 'go wild,' she was not prepared for the extent of which they had actually well, gone wild. People dressed as devilish fire creatures, demons and spirits pranced around outside the temple gates, both delighting and scaring the little children who shrieked with their toffee apples in hand and dove underneath the tables.
