There are tents set up everywhere flying family crest banners, the area is thronged with people wearing rough clothing, knights in half armor, children running around begging pennies for sweetmeats. The smell of roasting meat is rich in the air and the crowd grows louder with each passing hour due to the various vendors selling mead and wine.

I am a farmer.  My family and I live right outside of the kingdom.  We will soon be harvesting.  After harvest, my sons and I will take our goods to the town to sell.
Goodness, but it's been a while since I've been in so many crowds.  G'day there, sir.  Certainly, I'll have a look - what are you offering? Anything you see, even the clothes on my back, I can sell anything to anyone.  In need of some new cutlery?  A rug perhaps?  A set of new tools?  A pickaxe?  I even have a special ointment that'll cure just about anything. Oh my!  Hm, I didn't bring... too much with me today.  I've got a field full of crops at home though, and an odd sword that seems to be stuck in some sort of stone... Will you be here for a few days? You better believe it mister, with the festival right around the corner I'm not going anywhere.  A field full of crops you say?  What do you grow? Well usually just wheat, but I hear that beans are quite the thing now, after this Jack feller had some sort of kerfuffle with them, so I've planted a fair amount.  Gotta stay on trend! Never did take to beans myself.  Say, about that sword in the stone.  If it's giving you trouble I got just the thing!  You spread some of this special ointment where the blade meets the stone and you'll be able to pull that sword loose in no time. Huh, ya don't say.  That does sound mighty interesting.  I always fancied being a knight when I was younger, but one thing led to another... Did always fancy having a sword of my very own.  Well I'm sure this sword is in no state for a knight, must be half covered in rust.  How long did ya say that sword been in that stone? Oh, well, it's been there fer quite a while.  My boy actually found it a few years back when we were expandin' the farm.  Twas all covered in ivy and such. Well I tell you what, this ointment will polish that blade right up.  Like I said this ointment is good for just about anything, it's a positive remedy for weariness, turgidity of the bowels, hell you can drink the stuff too, good if you can't handle your hard spirits.  I'll give you a deal on it too. Ho well, I'll probably need ta speak to the missus, but I'm sure we could come to some sort of an arrangement.  Although don't see that the sword will much need polishin'.  It's got quite the shine to it! Well you can't have a sword without a sheath! It just so happens I have a quality sheath right here, almost brand new.
