<p>The mice ruining the Great Winter Hunt celebration have slowly been pushed into hiding by the hunting efforts of the brave hunters there!

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
<p>Not only has the cold-hearted Scrooge mouse shown up, but also entirely new and more menacing mice have made an appearance. These more powerful mice are more difficult to hunt, requiring a specially seasoned version of Gouda cheese. Luckily, a new potion has been found at the comet that will convert your bait into Seasoned Gouda to help in hunting these new mice.</p>

<p>After carefully studying the Festive Fuses dropped by Stocking mice at the Festive Comet, the Trapsmith there has designed the new Explosive Toboggan Ride trap! In order to build an Explosive Toboggan Ride, you'll need to collect the six required items from some of the 12 Mice of Winter.</p>

<p>The winter fun doesn't stop there! A couple of interesting items have been discovered while hunting with Seasoned Gouda that will no doubt make a '''powerful upgrade''' to the Explosive Toboggan Ride. Be prepared, however; collecting the additional items from powerful mice at the Festive Comet is a task for experienced hunters looking for a challenge. More information will be revealed as new mice are released!</p>

<p>There was great celebration and jubilee from veterans and novices alike as an unprecedented number of hunters gathered together to witness the Great Winter Star Ceremony near the Festive Comet. Throngs of happy hunters surrounded the massive Holiday Tree, ringed with glittering lights and tinsel. Under the broad evergreen branches sat a mountain of sightly gifts brought by the King to show his appreciation for the hard work of the hunters.</p>

Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
  
<p>But just as the Winter Star was being raised, a booming of steel drums drowned out the cheers! Our veteran hunter's supply of spoiled eggnog from last year's Winter Hunt burst open, disgorging an indescribable odor and a cloud of choking nog-smoke! Those stalwart hunters who held their breath witnessed a league of mice rush to the tree, stripping it bare of lights, pillaging the King's special gifts, and even claiming the Winter Star itself!</p>

<p>It seems the mice may well have stolen away both festive cheer and cheese, but all hope is not lost! A few of our bravest hunters were so formidable they managed to tough out the eggnog stench, capturing as many mice as they could manage. Bribing these captured mice with delicious Gingerbread Cheese, they learnt that there are 12 mouse types working for 1 mysterious boss! All we know of this festi-villain is that he leaves eggnoggey footprints in the snow...</p>
