Kel, you recall that the Sea Mother's name is Blibdoolpoolp but not much else.
The rest of you also recall that she is a scavenger goddess, meaning that discarded and recovered items are worthy offerings; the more personal the better. Also, regurgitating at the goddess’s feet is considered a sincere show of faith, something the Kuo-toa do on a rather frequent basis.
One by one the other members of your group toss the odd piece of string, broken coin, shell, and such onto the pile before being nudged of to the side and towards a hovel where four more kuo-toa wait in service to Ploop at his residence, if you can call it that.
There's several moments of Crowfell staring up at the statue. Then he says to others, "The things we do for an alliance." In common. The sound is pained. Like he doesn't want to do what he's about to do. This doesn't stop him from- oh. Oh. Oh, gods. He's actually doing it. Vomiting all over the goddess's feet. Bleeeeergh. Before pulling out a dull knife and offering it.
Sennet, not too thrilled about what's going on will take out his hammer and stare up at the statue. He shakes his head then places it down at the base of the statue.
"I can't do that." He says, referencing the vomiting.
Finn reaches into his pocket and removes a simple coin stamped with the emblem of his clan (which he was given before he left for his first military tour to remind him of home) and places it at the godess's feet.
Kel makes a disgusted face at the vomit before placing their shovel on the pile at the goddess's feet. It's one they've carried since they left home, that they used at their temple, which carries dirt from their home. "I cannot," they say, gesturing at the vomit. "This will have to do."
Ploop watches all of you pass by the shrine with a rather blank look but doesn't seem to be too offended by those that refuse to...give of themselves. Once everyone has passed he ushers you all into a hovel nearby which apparently belongs to him. He explains that he needs a few minutes to arrange the "offering" with the priests of the Deep Father. He leaves several kuo-toa, a couple of kuo-toa whips and a monitor guarding the hovel until he returns.
"I had no idea things had gotten this bad. They should have just given up these silly religious feuds." Shuushar comments once Ploop leaves. "Yeah well I'm going to be anyone's bait if I can help it," muses Eldeth. "We should look for a way out as soon as possible."
"Here?" Shuushan mused. "These....people are too caught up in their ridiculous religious fervor to be of much use to you I think."
"He may be right. Let's not count on anyone here just yet. After all they do want to sacrifice us...even it is supposed to be a trap for their supposed enemies. Why don't we look for something useful here?" Eldeth commented and started glancing around the hovel.
Kel rather agreed with Eldeth, not particularly wanting to rely on the strangers and their religious feud. "I would prefer not to be involved in their in-fighting," they agreed quietly, looking around the hovel as well. "Rarely do these things go the way they are planned."
As you all begin to look around the small disheveled home, of sorts, you start to notice that there might be more here that it seems. Ploop appears to curate some of the "offerings" to the Sea Mother.
Finn, after seeing that the group is alone in the hovel, starts searching for any weapon or armor upgrades as well as any unusual items that might be worth something

I don't have a signature.

"Trust me, I'm not happy about it either. It's undignified for a servant of the Duchess." Says Crowfell as he wipes his mouth.

(The kuo-toas are all outside, right)
(Yes, only your group is inside the hovel. It is well guarded outside though.)

(Roll perception or investigation!)
Crowfell is helping! So Finn has advantage, right?
(Sure that's fine!)
