Crimson Sands of Time

Piccolo is like a kid in a candy shop. She wants a bit of everything.  From her bag of holding, she pulls out many random items. Snakes, snails, puppy dog tails, crystals, rocks, stale bread, 6 shirt buttons that don’t match, a leather shoe, an ogres finger, a ring from a princess, a feather from an exotic white raven. You name it Piccolo has quite a collection.   Her companions will need to pull her away. She especially loves the beetle candy.

Uriel:

Stealth:  17

Moving silently until he reaches the others, Uriel asks, "Is this the domain of one of the hags?  Perhaps if so the unicorn or its horn is here somewhere."

Picollo, after eating so much goblin candy, finds herself experiencing some surprising effects. 

Your footfalls emit musical notes that can be heard out to a range of 30 feet.

Eating the candy causes you to foam at the mouth, making it difficult (but not impossible) for you to speak

You are targeted by a polymorph spell and automatically fail the saving throw against it. The new form is a butterfly (use the bat stat block, but omit its darkvision, Echolocation trait, and Bite attack).

Also, make a DC11 Con save, with the butterfly stats. On a failure, you'll be poisoned for 8 hours. 

From the goblin candy market you can see into the workshop within the adjacent log. 

displayed in the workshop windows:

A set of nesting dolls in which each doll looks more frightened than the next larger one

A stuffed lion with needles for teeth and real bloodstains around its jaws

A toy windmill with a crank on one side that turns the vanes and the millstone

A set of playing cards depicting weeping children

A wind-up drunkard doll that totters a few paces and then falls over

Four finger puppets depicting an arguing family

A 1-foot-tall wooden guillotine

A tiny wooden box containing eight sticks of black chalk

The candy apple headed goblin mutters to himself as though he’s having a constant but mild crisis of conscience. Until he hears Uriel's remarks. "'Scuse me," he hails "would you be looking for granny Nightshade then? I can take you to her, if you like. " 

(Con save 17 with bat -1 con), Piccolo had much too much candy to eat and is quite unhappy. She begins foaming at the mouth, has a stomach ache, and throws up a strange assortment of bug guts. Then, she transforms into a butterfly.

Uriel:

”Sure, let us go see Granny Nightshade once my…uh…flighty companions are done with their hijinks,” responds Uriel.

 Sam laughs a bit 

The butterfly lands on Sams head, fluttering her wings in apparent annoyance. (OOC: I'm assuming the polymorph lasts 1 hour?)

"It looks like some of the candy has strange effects when you eat it."

Trisk takes a step or two closer to Sam, not that it will help any if anything weird happens, but he also wants to be closer to the butterfly... just in case.

 Yes and so do the other things, but they probably won't come up while you're a butterfly.

The goblin with the candy apple head continues to quietly argue with himself. He seems wistful and melancholy in turns. "You showed me my true self. I’ll always love you for that, even as you eats my head.”

He becomes aware that he's speaking aloud and whether you are or not, perceives you stating at him. "What's yiur business with Granny anyhow?"

Are you planning in following him? He is offering to bring you to her. That log is her home.

Uriel:

Uriel is happy to be led into the hag's home, if nothing else to see if there is anyone or anything looking like a unicorn or its horn---to rescue if possible.  He is open to others' opinions, of course.

The foblin leads you tonthe parlor, chatting as he walks. "Name's Fug, but folks call me Chucklehead.  I dont mich care fkr it when they do, on account they's makin' fun o' me 'ead. Somw goblins are like that. Not all of us, though. You want me to let Granny know whybyour here? She might not be in a rush to see you jf yoi dont give a reason, but I understand if yous wants to keep yer business private wif her."

The parlor  is nestled between walls of twisted roots, through gaps in which you can see the eerily beautiful woodland surrounding you. A closed wooden door stands opposite the root bridge that leads into this room, in the center of which are four armchairs encircling a small table laid out for a tea service. A painted wooden box three feet on a side rests in a corner. A crank protrudes from one side of it, causing it to resemble an oversized jack-in-the-box.

"Wait here, please. I'll go and let Granny know you're here. Oh, and, don't touch anything." The goblin says as he departs through the unlocked door keading further into the log.

Let me know if you have a message for Granny Nightshade.

The butterfly goes between Trisk and Sam, fluttering about.

Uriel:

”Please tell Nightshade that we wish information about the location of unicorns and their horns,” says Uriel.

Drain:

"Well, let's go then."  Drain taps his short blade at his side.  "Can anyone dispel the magic on the butterfly?"

While you wait in the parlor, you hear ambient music produced by bells and chimes on the other side of the door Chucklehead used. Now there also comes the sound of giggling from the next room, the laughter of children.

<you want to check it out or just wait here for Granny Nightshade?>

Butterfly Piccolo is of course attracted to pretty music, and flutters over to get a better look and listen.

"I don't have the Dispel Magic spell."

Trisk looks forlornly at the butterfly, sorry that he can't help her.

"Hey, does anyone else hear children laughing?"
