The Rain on the Rain - For Everyone

You are in a courtyard of six wooden buildings, three on each side. There's a person hunched over in the center of the courtyard with their hands and neck bound in wooden stalks. At one of the far corners of the courtyard, you spot one building larger than the rest. It looks very industrious, like some sort of workshop, but no lights are on inside. You also notice that an Emerald Wall blocking off what can only be grouped off on the other end of the district. And it's rainy and dark. Well, you might be miserable the rain on the rain.
