Handwoven rugs cover the floors and walls of this residence, which is clearly sized for shorter folk (the ceilings are about 5 and a half feet tall; anyone taller needs to crouch to move around).
You are immediately squeezed into a main room where a table is being set by a younger adult woman and a girl. Two smaller children can be heard playing in what look to be bedrooms adjoining the main room. A ladder to a second floor is visible in one corner.
"Sit," the adult woman immediately bellows. The table is low to the ground, with cushions provided in lieu of chairs. Eying Skeeve she merrily adds, "at least one of you folk are properly sized."
Ziklag:
"Glad you still know what?" Ziklag confusedly asked in response to the strange words.
"Scripture," the old man answers. He pulls out decorative medallions and symbols that were hidden behind rugs and below floorboards. They each show a Cornucopia, the sign of Yondalla and halfling hospitality. "The Mother commands that we provide aid to all, and Her commands are food to us richta." ('Richta' is the goblin words for property, something owned.)
Ludovic:
"Nice home. Amazing dogs."
The boy who was with the dogs earlier smiles. "They're Sugar and Chicken. Chicken's the braver one." He giggles as the dogs leap towards Shadowdale, but his attention stays on Ludovic. "What's your name? I'm called Rill."
The dogs approach Shadowdale, yipping excitedly, tales wagging.
