Valrieth looks a little alarmed at the mention of Granny Nightshade. She says, "No-oooh...I mean, not yet! I don't think mortals would seek an audience with Granny Nightshade lightly. It's just unwise to meet with a hag until you know as much as you can about her and know exactly what you're trying to accomplish."
Val looks at the candy, saying, "Besides, we...uh...thought that we'd look at these...um...I guess...these are the candy confections?" Seeing what the candy is made of, she finishes her sentence uncertainly. She grimaces and wrinkles her nose in distaste. Even if Val hadn't just finished a short rest and dinner, she wouldn't be tempted by this kind of candy.
Before she starts feeling ill, Val turns back to Chucklehead. Seeing him muttering, her eyes get very wide and cautious, and her ears perk up and swivel all around before focusing forward. She asks, "Excuse me, if you don't mind us asking, but who are you talking to?"
If Chucklehead needs to be convinced to provide any information about Granny Nightshade or to explain to whom he's speaking, Val will do her best to help persuade him to trust the party.
"one trinket?" ilifir asks, sounding somewhat downcast "is there anything else you would accept in trade?" he rummages through his bag "unless... ahah! would you accept one of these?" he holds up a ring of keys and a small book

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. I wondered: How did this mug even get past the assembly line with its theistic beliefs and poor font choices?
quote from Romantically Apocalyptic byVitaly S Alexius
Lerak checks his pockets. He had jumped into the portal so quickly to answer the call of his friend that he had no trinkets at all. He presents the gobelin one of his javelin. "This is all I have to exchange I'm afraid. Would you be happy with one of my best javelin ?"

While Valrieth isn't interested in the candy for her own sake, she says, "We found some little trinkets that you could use, Lerak." She still gives the candy a suspicious look before adding, "But I'd suggest that you ask what will happen to you when you eat the candy before you buy any. Some food in Prismeer has unusual side effects." She's thinking of their potion testing with Tsu Harabax.
Chucklehead responds and says "I am talking to the worm in my head. Its worming its way through my head and it's affecting me strangely. I have been feeling more compassion or kindness. I am trying to the convince the worm not to kill me slowly as it continues to eat more of my head. The key ring and book are fine trinkets. You can approach any stall. I would say no to the javelin."
ilifir grins "maybe i could get spike to take a look at it?" he offers, looking around the candy stalls with bright eyes, before wandering over to the stall selling the oddest candies and raising a hand in greeting "hail friend, how goes your day?"

Sad to not be able to trade one of his javelin, Lerak search again his bag just to be sure. A large smile appears on his face "Yes, I forgot ! I have those two thing. This is a strange needle that has a will of its own, and I have this red cap that droops down to one’s shoulders when worn ... the best item for a good prank I think"
The goblin at the stall gives a toothy smile to Ilifir "Today is a rather nice day and looks like I will be able to earn some profit today. Can I interest you in any of our candys"
"of course you can!" ilifir says enthusiastically "however much this will get me" he proffers the book "of any of the candies that dont have centipedes, ill trust your choice"

Valrieth is not interested in the candy -- just looking at it makes her a bit queasy. She stays with Chucklehead and chats with him to distract herself. Of course, the goblin's candy-apple head makes Val feel a bit...weird. But that isn't the right word. She's not sure whether there is a word for this feeling. Val realizes that the magic in Prismeer often strikes her as funny, grotesque, whimsical, and scary all at the same time. Not for the first time, she wonders how much different this Fey Realm would be if the Zybilna were in power instead of 3 wicked hags.
Val says to Chucklehead, "Oh! That sounds awful! I mean, I'm glad to hear that you feel compassion and kindness, but maybe we could help you with the worm. I cannot do it now, but if we could find you later -- maybe tomorrow? -- I could try talking to the worm for you. Maybe we could figure out a way to give it something else to eat so that it won't have to keep eating away at your head." That seems like a nice solution to the goblin's problem, and just thinking of it lifts Val's mood a little.
Val ventures to ask him more about Loomlurch while she waits, "We've heard that Granny Nightshade keeps a bunch of children in Loomlurch. Working so close to her house, do you know much about it?"
Chuckledhead nods at Val "That would indeed be helpful and yes Granny Nightshade uses children in her workshop. Sometimes I wish I could help them but that would be suicide."
Chuckledhead nods at Val "That would indeed be helpful and yes Granny Nightshade uses children in her workshop. Sometimes I wish I could help them but that would be suicide."
Valrieth find the goblin's candy apple face very difficult to read, so she has no idea whether she can trust Chucklehead. She replies carefully, "Yes, well, I feel bad for the children too! They should be outside and playing with their friends, not toiling away indoors. But maybe you can help the children without too much risk! If someone wanted to help the children and free them from Loolmurch, could you provide any assistance? Or do you know anything that would be helpful? For example, does Granny Nightshade have any weaknesses that would help a Hero defeat or avoid her while they help the children? Or do you know anything about Loomlurch's defenses or guards?"
Chucklehead seems to start saying something when that strange crisis of conscience strikes again. "There is a .... No that is a bad idea as crossing Nightshade is a bad idea" He rubs his temple as if in pain.

Finley shakes his head, having been briefly lost in thought, "Ah dunnae want any candy." He tugs at his beard a little in nervousness.

(OOC: combining that description with the latest images puts me firmly in Valrieth's camp. No thank you! 🤢 Do not want.)
Lerak is always ready for new experiences, he gives his two items and choose two candies. »I’ll take a yellow and a blue, thanks! »

The goblin at the stall hands Ilifir the scorpion lollipop. "I am sure this taste will blow you away"
Lerak please tell me which one you decide to eat first.
Ilifir do you try the lollipop right away or save it for later?
Chuckledhead nods at Val "That would indeed be helpful and yes Granny Nightshade uses children in her workshop. Sometimes I wish I could help them but that would be suicide."

Val is unable to get a read on Chucklehead.
