The coins they use are quite a bit smaller than the ones you receive as pay.

I see. I guess the platform room below is passed the dotted line?

correct.

The divot just appears? Ok...

Or I could accept this is as inexplicable as my dreams.

Oh magic.

I'll try to ask them what's over there, even if it comes out really broken like:
"What there?"

Its a combination of where they sleep, and where their "tall people"/ baby caretakers are. at least from the gestures. Its the same as the place where Brog hands off the money. looking around, there is a boiling pot behind the woman, a chair nearby it, and a small hole in the wall with light on the other side.

I know this game. Hopefully this one doesn't squeeze as much. I'll try to motion my hands to ask her to slow down, and say, "No Riask, No Riask."

She is not a squeezer, but waves and smiles as the three boys leave. Julian is unsure what she thinks of him.

The boys stop by another woman, and Ump gives her his money. She also has a piercing look and a few questions, and she is content with a wave and a monosyllabic greeting.

The boys head for a cleared out area in the vegetation, where some of the other boys are waiting. Light is provided by Brog's stone, plus Rails brings another one, and a few other boys are here too. They chat with each other, play the coin game, and one of them brought a small rag ball that is getting thrown around.

Her I guess? I think I made an assumption there.

Uh, where? "Feather" and "wing" turned up nothing. The birds from the first dream, maybe?

I have not described every ethnicity/weird anatomy he's seen, just on notable people. But yes, the small winged people are from the first dream and from the marketplace. I tried to cover it all just now.

I guess it's impossible to differentiate short hairy Humans from Duwende, if there is a difference.

The facial structure is slightly different, and the overlap in build is fairly small... but yes.

And kicking people around. That might be more of a clue than I thought.

I suppose I can at least infer that Yanak also work in the mine. Muggragle appear to be working as shopkeepers and middle managers. Duwende do manual labor. And Humans are all over the place doing a bit of everything?

It's a mystery. Perhaps for later.

Good luck. I'll try to be careful with clues. Some you've got right, some wrong. more data will help.
