The candy Factory was riffing off players' ideas. They were wondering where the BBEG would hide ( I had no idea yet!):
He might be near the Old Carnival.
He needs access to sugar (he has a Condition to boost him, but burns calories FAST)
Where does the Carney get its Candy? ...
They basically decided, and then "went to ask an NPC who might know these things", so i could tell them "Oh, you mean the Olde Candy Factory?" :)
