(OOC: I'm assuming that we were given a copy of the carnival map shown above.)
Valrieth studies the map. She points at the top-left corner, and, hopping up and down in place to feel her fairy wings flap, she says, "I guess we already have our Welcome Gifts. But -- oh! -- it's a bit overwhelming! Do we have time to enjoy the carnival? Or should we start looking for the entrance to Prismeer right away?"
Abby looks around, in absolute awe. “Gondola swans? Dragonfly rides? OH MY GODS SNAIL RACING? I’VE GOTTA RACE A SNAIL!”
Val suggests, diplomatically, "We could just turn left here at the ticket booth and go to each attraction in order. That would be Bubble-Pop Teapot, Mystery Mine, and then Snail Racing," with a glance toward Abby. "After that, Pixie Kingdom and Hall of Illusions before we make it back to the calliope."
Abby frowns. “Snail. Racing. Val! They’re so slow it’ll be crazy betting on who wins! We’ll be there for hours! And those, might I say, will be hours will be spent!”
Val goes quiet and just blinks once at Abby. After a moment, she looks down at the map and says, "Well, either way, we start by going to the left here." But she waits for Pom, Abby, or Eudith to start going that way before she follows.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Hisashi takes the direction Val and goes left towards their next destination, looking at her new surroundings intently (Perception: 18 ) "Dis place big, we should stick close."
The party moves to the left and arrive at the Bubble Pot Teapot. A twenty-foot-tall teapot rests on a wooden platform, its painted surface whirling with moving imagery of flying dragons breathing streams of bubbles. A door at the base of the teapot allows entry to its interior; those who enter emerge from the spout enclosed in a bubble that detaches to float off across the carnival. Seven goblins sits around the platform, sipping tea from mismatched porcelain cups.
The party gets in line and eventual meet the goblins sipping tea
Val focuses on one of the goblin's closest to them. When she sees that the goblin is looking their way, she asks, "Excuse me. Where do those bubblesgo?", pointing at the top of the teapot. "Where do they land?"
A goblin with a belt festooned with teaspoons looks over to Val. "The word that you intend to say, Try saying it a different way. Toil and bubble"
Val turns to the other women, her look a mixture of confusion and concern that she broke something. She says, "What did the goblin mean? Am I not allowed to say 'bubble'? Or I just have to speak in rhyme? Or..."
Eudith shrugs, not sure what the goblin means either, but gives it a try, pausing now and then to try to think of a way to phrase things without reusing any of Val's words: "The soapy spheres, what happens if one pops? What would we land on?"
The Goblin is fine, just fond of riddles in rhyme. Can you give a similar example. The clue is there in what the goblin said. The phrase was changed from Shakespeare Song of the Witches. Double, Double toil and trouble
"Thy bubble floats to the heavens across the carnival where you land back on ground safe and sound." says the goblin "Now what rhymes with teapot"
As you look around the people in the bubbles land back on the ground in random locations across the carnival.
"Oh! Very clever, Eudith!" Val claps briefly and hops in place, excited, her fairy wings flapping as she bounces. She stops and starts mouthing words while keeping count on her fingers. Finally, Val smiles brightly and says, "Though it may strike you as absurd, a hare who flies just like a bird, we'd like to go in the teapot, so that we can give it a shot!"

I will continue once the party has chosen a destination.

What do you do?
(OOC: clarification. Are the goblins carnival staff? Or are they customers who are wearing fairy wings?)
They are staff
Val focuses on one of the goblin's closest to them. When she sees that the goblin is looking their way, she asks, "Excuse me. Where do those bubbles go?", pointing at the top of the teapot. "Where do they land?"
A goblin with a belt festooned with teaspoons looks over to Val. "The word that you intend to say, Try saying it a different way. Toil and bubble"

Eudith gives it another shot. "Double, double, toil and trouble, where may land the floating bubble?"
"Thy bubble floats to the heavens across the carnival where you land back on ground safe and sound." says the goblin "Now what rhymes with teapot"

Hisashi just stares at the group blankly, confused, hoping her friends can figure out the the rhymes “yous got dis…”
The goblin once again asks "What rhymes with teapot"
Eudith is stumped, but tries anyway. "Do they take you to a... Sheep lot?"
