She then turns to the 'new arrivals' Pom Kiebitz, 's a pleasure. Friends call me Pommy and how its sounding i suspect you'll end up in that category at some point.
"Ah dunnae know wha' Rungle Root is, but ah'll drink it first, we dwarves have an iron stomach." Finley pulls the cork and says, "well then, to Sugarbell, Mudskip, Glimmerblossom, and th' wee lass. Sorry I dunnae know yer name Ms.?" He looks towards Val, waits to here her name and then downs the potion.
Gan-Re is pleased by the warm welcomes from Pom and Hisashi. He turns to Finley and says ‘Potential friends already, someone made a good first impression. Well done Finley’.
Gan-Re takes the vial from Jeremy and says 'Oh refreshments. Thank you'. He then echoes Finley’s toast by saying 'Finley, Lady Hisashi, Pommy and companion’ and drinks the potion without a second, or first, thought.

Gan-Re: Aarakocra Barbarian - The Wild Beyond the Witchlight | DM - Keys of Empire
"Ah dunnae know wha' Rungle Root is, but Ah'll drink it first, we dwarves have an iron stomach." Finley pulls the cork and says, "well then, to Sugarbell, Mudskip, Glimmerblossom, and th' wee lass. Sorry I dunnae know yer name Ms.?" He looks towards Val, waits to here her name and then downs the potion.
Valrieth looks startled, apparently not paying much attention to the conversation before you addressed her. "Oh! I'm sorry. With your free ticket...Finley?...and then Gan-Re arriving...and of course Eudith getting called away by her order...", she looks toward the carnival's exit for a moment, and you wonder when she's going to start crying again. Then, taking a deep, steadying breath, her voice becomes a little more prim and direct, like she's reciting a lesson at school. "I am Valrieth. I am a druid, and I recently joined these ladies on a quest. While two of our original party have left us, the quest must be important for the Fates have sent you and Gan-Re to bolster our numbers. I'd say that's a good sign."
When it's her turn, Val tells Jeremy, "I'd like to take the pixie name Moonflower." She offers her ticket and then takes a drink of the golden liquid.
As soon as everyone drinks the vials they all shrink down to Pixie size. It is now in this new size that you realize Jeremy Plum is rather tall for a Pixie. "Alright you can explore what you see before you. There is a lovely Pug with a saddle that anyone can ride, or if your feeling hungry then you can dine in that cottage that looks like a watering can. Of course there is also the hamster powered ferris wheel." He then flies back up to the tree stump to attract more carnival goers.
The Pixie Kingdom is a tranquil oasis compared to the rest of the bustling carnival. The air is filled with the aroma of blackberry wine and flower blossoms. Eight brightly painted doorways are nestled in the bark at the bases of the surrounding trees.
Hisashi goes straight to the Ferris wheel, hopping in the next available car to go for a round, or two as she happily enjoys her first ride of this type. She sticks her head out the side to see whats below her, dangling her limbs out the side recklessly for fun. "Dis is awesome!"
The pug is very excited to see Gan-re and happily barks and licks Gan-re. With your newfound size the pug is quite large. Big enough to ride on.
The hamster stops and says "Hello my name is Chipper, my you look wonderful..." he continues to talk non-stop. If you let him he will talk your ear off.
Finley nods solemnly at Valrieth and trots to keep up with Gan-Re to the pug. “Wha’ kinda creature is this? Somethin’ from th' Fae realm?” He says, almost horrified at the hideousness of its large head.
Gan-Re flies around happily shouting 'Look at me, I'm a pigeon'. Once he has calmed down he says 'The pug is adorable. I'm going there first'
Valrieth can help but giggle at seeing the powerful aarakocra, reduced to a tiny pigeon-sized creature, flapping around in circles over the Pixie Kingdom, shouting, "I'm a pigeon" in a squeaky voice. Of course, then she takes the potion, and the harengon shrinks down to a size no larger than a regular hare. At that point, Gan-Re's relative size makes him look just as big as before.
Val casts Produce Flame, just holding the flame in her hand for a moment, to ensure that her magic still works when she's this size.
Hisashi goes straight to the Ferris wheel, hopping in the next available car to go for a round, or two as she happily enjoys her first ride of this type. She sticks her head out the side to see whats below her, dangling her limbs out the side recklessly for fun. "Dis is awesome!"
Val joins Hisa when she goes to the ferris wheel, taking the next car. She feels like she's glad she came. It's hard to feel sad when sitting near the simple enthusiasm that Hisa puts into each new experience. And...oh my!...even though the ferris wheel looked tiny when Val was 3' tall, now that she's pixie-sized, it looks like quite a long drop from the top of the ferris wheel. She starts to feel a little anxious about Hisa's recklessness.
The hamster stops and says "Hello my name is Chipper, my you look wonderful..." he continues to talk non-stop. If you let him he will talk your ear off.
(Does he talk while he's powering the ferris wheel?)
Val says, "Oh! You can speak Common! Hello, Chipper! It's nice to meet you. Are you a fey hamster?" And then, in growing confusion, "Or...um...did the potion just give me the ability to speak with hamsters?"
Chipper has not started running yet and is a chatterbox to anyone nearby. If you want to ride the ferris wheel then you are going to have to do something.
The pug bound across the Pixie Kingdom. He is such happy dog doing zoomies.

After Chipper responds (and presumably starts talking about other things), Val asks, "Chipper, my friend would like to ride the ferris wheel. Would you 'run' the wheel around a few times for us, please?"
"Well, probably. What kind of food to you like?" Val knows that she has various dried nuts and fruits in her rations, but now that she has been shrunk to pixie size, would any of that satisfy the hamster? Or do hamsters prefer to eat hay and grass?
Finley grins at the excitement, but remembers why he's here and begins to walk around, examining each of the doors at the base of the trees, reading any signs and thinking about Zybilina and where she's from.

Gan-Re is deligited by the Pug and says ‘Who’s a beautiful puppy, it's you, yes it is.’ and rubs the Pug behind the ear before leaping onto its back.

"I was gifted with intelligence. I am kind of hungry do you have any food?" asks Chipper
"Well, probably. What kind of food to you like?" Val knows that she has various dried nuts and fruits in her rations, but now that she has been shrunk to pixie size, would any of that satisfy the hamster? Or do hamsters prefer to eat hay and grass?
"Nuts and fruit are a perfect snack" says Chipper.

Val offers Chipper 1 day's worth of rations. Since Val is a vegetarian, that's mostly grains, fruits, and nuts.
