The Mosin-a’s Night Market stall
After dark a red lantern lights up in the forest. The Mosin-a (魔神仔), a mischievous mountain spirit from Taiwanese folklore in a straw hat, a straw cape and a round smiling mask, sells sealed items there for magic.
The Mosin-a usually sets up after dark: buy sealed items with magic, open them in your inventory, then use one and it becomes a story for the Banyan Glow family.
The Mosin-aShh — I only open after dark. Tonight’s stock won’t be here tomorrow.
At a glance
Open after dark
The Mosin-a usually comes out to set up his stall after dark and packs up before dawn. Come by day and he just goes “shh”.
Different stock every night
Everyone gets their own shelf each night: 2 to 4 kinds of item at random, 1 or 2 of each everyday one and just 1 of anything rarer. Once bought it’s gone, and the next night brings a new draw. The ancient horn turns up for you about one night in six.
Everything is sealed
Buy with magic and the item goes into your inventory. Open it there to find out what’s inside.
Use it and it becomes a story
Use an opened item and it becomes something the family really lives through. The effect is always the same; the story is different every time.

Yeyu and the Mosin-a: The Same Lamp
Long ago, the Mosin-a was the loneliest thing in the mountains. On foggy nights he would whistle a little tune so that lost travellers followed him, deeper and deeper. He didn’t mean anyone harm; it had just been too long since anyone kept him company.
One night, the one following him through the fog was a very, very small child. Before the Mosin-a had decided where to lead them, the fog ahead grew a little brighter. A lamp, not a big one, a warm one, hanging in the direction of the child’s home. When the child saw the lamp, they stopped following the whistle.
It was Yeyu who lit it. She said: “If you want company, you don’t need to lead people astray. Bring things to trade, and they’ll come looking for you themselves.”
The Mosin-a thought for a long time. Then he took off his straw hat and set up a small stall by the side of the path. From that day on he opened only after dark, selling odd and delightful things. And Yeyu promised him: wherever his fog falls, she will light a lamp there, so that no one is ever truly lost.
That is why a lantern lit by Yeyu always hangs at the Mosin-a’s Stall. That is why the stall sells “Yeyu’s charm”: her gift, passed on through him, for those willing to look after others. And that is why, on nights of the Mosin-a’s fog, the Banyan Glow family always finds its way home in the end.
Nobody says how long they have known each other. The Mosin-a says a very long time; Yeyu only smiles.
What happens when you use one
A used item works like a member story that’s already full of magic: no 30-day wait, Yeyu puts it straight into the coming story slots. The effect is fixed; the story written from it is different every time.
If the story can’t be made, the card comes back to your inventory.
Even troubles are gentle
The little vial and the storm-cloud jar invite small troubles, always gentle and always recoverable: at most one trouble a day in the whole forest, and none while the family is short of supplies. Everyone who helps afterwards is remembered. On nights of the Mosin-a’s fog, the family always finds its way home in the end, walking toward a warm lamp far away.
An opened charm waits and protects the family the next time trouble comes.
Bad luck has a floor
For every 10 calling items you open (forest whistle, moonlight bell, ancient horn), the 10th is at least a super-rare visitor.
The odds are public
Every item’s odds are listed above, and shown on the stall and before you open anything. The result is decided the moment you open it, recorded, and never re-drawn. If the odds change, they get a new version and are announced.
A different kind of story
Item stories and the story directions members write are two kinds of story. “Paying never makes your story more likely to be chosen” is about written story directions; an item story simply happens when you use it, with no choosing involved.
