CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
<p>Gathering trick and treat cheese in Gnawnia is a familiar tradition. Each day, hunters may visit up to 10 friends and receive some bait. Before you visit others, be sure to [http://{{MHdomain}}/profile.php visit your own profile] and choose what type of cheese you're handing out! If you find yourself getting low on cheese, you can also hunt at the Terrortories using Swiss, Brie, Gouda or SUPER|brie+ to attract Hollowhead Mice that drop Halloween Cheese. Additionally, you may find it inside Pumpkin Treat Baskets which you can [http://{{MHdomain}}/gift.php send as gifts] to friends!</p>
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
<p>The Haunted Terrortories consists of three areas: The Corn Maze, Haunted Manor and the Pumpkin Patch. You must both trick AND treat enough mice in your current area to begin attracting mice from the next. Your trick and treat progress will be displayed while hunting in the Haunted Terrortories.</p>
