-===How Mustard Mike Came To Be===
+====How Mustard Mike Came To Be====
 I dislike mustard and game nights have a lot of food coming, sometimes whole food themes, but there's never mustard around when my players want it to go with whatever we're eating in real life. They never remember to bring any if they need it either, and long story short I've taken a lot of flack for not having mustard around and this NPC is payback to harass them in game about mustard.
