Snips and Snails

[Snips and Snails - 28542 - ( 8081308 )]
Mingling smells of acrid smoke, rotten eggs, and burnt hair permeate this enclosed shack. Nestled into a small hearth at one end of the room is a huge cauldron, the ceiling above stained black with soot. Pushed into one corner is a scarred wooden work table, a stool sitting askew in front of it, while a long battered wooden shelf is mounted directly above it. A warped metal cabinet with corroded acid stains marring the front, the interior filled with wares, takes up almost the entire back wall. Leading out to a cramped backyard, A discolored wooden door, its surface littered with a plethora of pinned papers covered in cramped handwriting.
Obvious exits: out

On the scarred wooden work table you see: a scribbled note, a sturdy wooden ball wrapped with strips of green linen, a bleached section of antler, a length of knotted hemp rope, a stuffed cotton toy kitten with fluffy white fur, a slender vial of luminous powdered moonstone and a slim bottle of iridescent powdered sunstone.

a scribbled note

These concoctions have had the concentrated power of the moon and the sun imbued in them.  They seem to be the only thing that can affect my poor cursed puppies.
The other items are various toys I've found that the puppies enjoy, each one of them prepared to allow even ghostly puppies to interact with them fully.

Snips and Snails, Backyard

[Snips and Snails, Backyard - 28565 - ( 8081309 )]
Rickety wooden boards have been clumsily nailed together into a makeshift fence that encloses this area into a private backyard. The ground is covered in overlapping tiny pawprints, chewed bones, and randomly dug holes, leaving the footing over the mud treacherous in some places. A lopsided shelter made of wooden planks is set in one corner, while a round steel bowl full of raw bloody meat sits next to a similar bowl of water in the opposite corner. A discolored wooden door leading back into the shack is the only way out.
Obvious exits: none

FOR SALE: PUPPIES (slightly cursed)
An unfortunate accident during my experiments has left me with several cursed puppies.
I have found the light of a full moon severely affects them in different ways.
I have only found certain preparations of sunstone or moonstone can keep the changes at bay or force them to change.
They do not seem to age, at least, but they are certainly not normal.
I will be seeking responsible owners for these puppies, as I cannot handle the amount I have currently.
I can provide puppy grooming services for new owners, though I regret that I can only affect what they appear like in their 'normal' phase.
