The Singing Swords of Springwood

Every blade forged in Springwood this month sings when drawn—beautiful, distracting melodies that make combat nearly impossible. The blacksmiths are baffled, warriors humiliated. The local bard guild denies involvement but smiles knowingly. Track down the source of the enchantment, decide if it's blessing or curse, and choose between breaking the spell or teaching fighters to dance.
