This Mug immediately shared with me a transcendental tale of an Infinite Mug that anchors the Universe and keeps it from folding in on itself. I filed this report under "illogical nonsense" and asked why its sign is in Times New Roman font, when it is basic knowledge that Arial Black is a far superior font.

Now that they've arrived at Loomlurch and have a better view of the place, Valrieth would like to rest (short rest) and go over Will's plan again and see whether they can come up with a better plan. If it's early enough, they may have time to do reconnaissance, see what they can learn in the Goblin Market, and still have time to make contact with Granny Nightshade before bed time. Otherwise, they'll need to find a place to sleep and wait until morning.
"Glad ye have come ta tha' decision, sir," Finley nods with a grin, looking passed them to the rest of Loomlurch, "we also should come up with a better plan while we're 'ere, ah dunnae want ta screw this up fer them kids."

Valrieth says, "Well, we know very little about this hag still, and we could just start by visiting the Goblin Market. But the children would have to hide since it sounds like the hag kidnaps children for her workshop. While we ask around the market, we can also try to get a better view of the tree/house and figure out how to approach it. Then we could meet back with Will and the children to make a final plan before we try to get in to get the portrait and free the children."
Val would definitely like to get a short rest before they actually enter Granny Nightshade's home, but she figures that she could do that after they do some reconnaissance at the Goblin Market. They could sit down and have a quiet dinner somewhere nearby while they make their final plans. That would put them entering the hag's home at 8:30 or 9:00 p.m.
(OOC: Basically, Will takes the children a little ways away to hide in the woods for 30 - 40 minutes. The party takes the east bridge over to L2 to look around the goblin market and maybe do some reconnaissance around the hag's home. Then we go back across L1 and meet up with the children to rest and make a final plan before going back across L1 and into the Granny Nightshade's home.)
Updated: I see that we already had dinner + a short rest, so I adjusted the post. Same basic plan: Goblin Market first, finalize plan with Will, and then attempt to get into Granny Nightshade's home.
he grins brightly "and now i stand on this bridge, and speak clearly, after what i have seen, i am your friend" he waggles his finger at them in mock seriousness "i would still rather avoid trouble though"
Valrieth answers honestly and with an unfocused expression, as though talking to herself, "We don't go looking for trouble, but sometimes you have to make trouble to accomplish your goals. And in this realm, it seems like trouble often finds us!"
"Should we 'ave someone scout first? Or would ye like ta 'ave ah solid plan in case somethin' 'appens while they're scouting?" Finley asks, then taking a small swig of his water pouch.
Val says, "We can just visit the Goblin Market to see what they have for sale. Maybe we can learn more about Loomlurch and the hag there. We can also try to get a peak at the hag's house without drawing too much attention."
Yes, the party would be crossing the vine bridge the leads to the Goblin Market (the easternmost bridge). As they part from Will and head toward the bridge, Val says, "I hope that you're up for talking to some goblins and candy makers, Ilifir. Remember: we don't want trouble, but any rumors or information about the hag, her home, and her guards and servants could prove useful."
Val gestures the bridge and says, "Lead the way, Lerak!" Val falls in behind Lerak and Finley. (It looks like the bridge is plenty wide enough for them to walk two-by-two.)
1 step on the bridge and it begins to sway and creak everyone at the goblin market can hear the creaking sounds and some looke towards the bridge as the party crosses it.
L2
Three stalls selling candy are situated in this clearing, lit by windows carved into the giant fallen tree to one side of it. Two goblins are working in each stall, and the whole enterprise is watched closely by a goblin with a toffee apple head who appears to be muttering quietly to himself.
ilifir dances up to the toffe apple goblin and executes a very elaborate bow "i cheerfully salute you, my chiefly confectionary cousin! where, whence, and who-with did you arrive here?"

Chucklehead the toffee apple head goblin says in a more serious tone "Where I come from is none of your business, but if you are interested in delectable treats then head to any stall and my fellow goblins are ready to sell some of the best candy confections you have ever tasted. Though I must say no thievery, or you will have to deal with me Chucklehead"
He then shakes his head awkwardly and mutters to himself as if he is having some kind of crisis of conscience.
Finley walks up alongside and says, "It were an innocent question, no needta worry about us stealin' somethin' like candy, we got no quarrel with ye, can't ye at least answer their question?"

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Valrieth pokes her head out from behind the others. Remembering Clapperclaw and how Bavlorna replaced that scarecrow's head, she asks, "Excuse me, Mr. Chucklehead. If you don't mind my asking, have you always had a toffee apple for a head? Or did the hag who lives here give it to you?"
Val pays attention to his answer to see whether she can tell what his attitude toward Granny Nightshade is. Bloody Toes was openly working against Bavlorna. Perhaps some of the goblins in the Market despise Granny Nightshade. (Insight23)
Lerak agrees with Val plan. A bit of recon is always good.
He followed the group quietly, trying to see where danger lies ahead (Perception: 5) but everything seems as normal as the fey realm could be. He looks at the stall and waits for Val to finish his chat before asking the goblin: "They do seem very good. It seems you are selling mastercraft candies. I will be tempted to buy some. How much are they ? Do they have other properties than just being exquisite on the tongue ?"
Chuchlehead responds by saying "Why are you so curious about me? As for my head it was not Granny Nighshade but an effect of the Feywild itself. As you know this plane is brimming full of magic. As for the price for the candy it is 1 trinket in trade. Confections are the only items we sell. Are you perhaps here for an audience with Granny Nightshade? I can show you to her parlor"
On closer inspection the candy includes beetles encased in hard candy, lollipops made from compacted ants, and jellied worms
Val insight shows that Chucklehead is torn. For now, he seems kind enough in a neutral manner but when he mutters there is sense of unsureness and at times he taps his head as if muttering to someone besides himself.
