RuHa shared with us that they look like humans, the plants themselves are not part of them and originate from their stomach. Don't eat anything here. I give one a little kick, just to make sure that they're dead. The part breaks off and a puff of spores comes out. Yuck. I take a step back, it doesn't seem like we'd want that too close near us. Thorgott gives a small speech about the dead body, seems to be his way of paying respect. I try to look at their stomach, as 'it' seems to originate from there. I can see a little plant, I'll have to remember this to see if it can be useful later.
Across the market stall we see: Trabelar House, inside it is dark. But it clear that this is from a wealthy family. It's a family name. RuHa knocks the door, the lord is not in residence. The house seems to talk, which is...Odd. Everyone else seems to see this. Juniper tried again, but gets the same response.
Possibly moldy and alchemy filled jars and bottles. There's some parts of animals, flasks, bottles. RuHa explains to us, as she's gathering some things , that she's taking them since she needs to help a baby. As I tell her that I hope the kid is ok, she asks me about the blue 'magic'. Apparently she had seen this with the baby as well, talking about the blue glow. Turns out that Juniper and Thorgrott had seen something similar. Juniper even talking about visions of those in the Court Of Gems. Afterwards mentions a garden with fruit where Dragonborns are guards. They start discussing their goals. I asked more about the magic, how it felt for RuHa and gently asked Juniper if she knew more about what magic used to be. She's only 110. My brother would slap me in the back of my head for my diplomatic skills.
We also look at a nearby bakery, I try to see if there's spices but they don't look very good. I decide to not take them.
The god lyra is the centerpiece of the coin square that we walk towards. There's a bank, a plant store and a clothing store among other things. [Dragonborn's 'oervader'/Primordial Father of the Ivory order used to be somewhat of a niche religious figure, other Dragonborns usually believe in the more common gods but my group isn't very religious anymore due to it being so long ago. All I know is the Sun bringing life.]
We enter a little house. There isn't too much of interest to me. RuHa went to the clothing store. I vaguely see some blue sparks in the distance where she is. The closing seems weird and
There's two other houses one with obsidian, the bank. Inside there's what seems to be a vault. There's a wall at the lobby, with obsidian. As we're standing there, water seems to fall down. It seems to disappear on the bottom and spell something out. I can't really see what it says or who these, assumed, companies are. RuHa finds a ledger. Something about this ledger being magically connected with the vault? Arcane credit...Soul bound entries. It works for Juniper but not for RuHa. The latter getting blank pages. There is a somewhat recent date in the book, from 4 days ago. Thorgrott also tries, he gets some stuff about his family
For me all the money is administered by the Ivory Order.
We're going to LuLudy, the furniture is massive and there are plants everywhere. On the large desk there's a diary. Someone who sells plants here. She was here when the gates of coin square closed and used the small amounts of magic and food to keep alive. She apparently turned into a tree and fed the children of the community for a while. I recognise these plants from the husks, I warn the group about this before we can hear a growl beyond a door. Juniper screams and runs away from the door.
We enter combat. As we fight a husk, a corpse flower appears. It seems bigger, but has smaller skulls. RuHa absolutely smites it to smithereens as the light of a god unbeknownst to me shines upon her and the light burns it and the other enemy.
Behind its corpse, where there is a wall that is now broken open. There is a giant elephant tree, presumably the one from the diary. She points at us, then turns away. As I go to cautiously follow to the graveyard, behind me I can hear someone falling and the clink of metal.
