Summary
After a rough fight, Redcap runs away and the party is able to check on the orcish woman, Ranibow Sprimkles of the Tolmen Sprimkles. She tells them about Gristle Malice, another metal band, repitedly known for sacrificing a wolf on stage, which may have inspired Redcap. She had sneaked away from home to come see Redcap and had gotten invited backstage, and didn't remember what happened next. She also claims to be a half-gnome, which everyone thinks seems implausible. Frond invites her back to the caravan for the evening, and she says she has to tell Dulcibella. She goes back to her great aunt's house to collect Dulcibella, who turns out to be a goose who can talk to her (aka a familiar), and return to the bar to leave with the party.
Meanwhile, Frond and Brauni consider that the Lords of Rock and Metal that they incanted might mean some kind of elemental lord, or similar. Frond considers that they may be cultists of an earth demon named Turaglas that is called the Swallowing Earth, an ancient enemy of Luthic, and Kirar suggests maybe Ogremoch.
Chlyde hooks up for the night with Kasursh, but everyone else heads back to town to introduce Ranibow and get her and Dulcibella settled in. Frond tells her mother and aunt Yveda about what happened at the bar. Volda tells her daughter about a scar she got from a gnome named Sprimkles, while Yvelda goes into mothering mode. Qog ztakes her to meet some of their animals when Yvelda come to help make her feel more welcome and get some more details of his background.
In the morning, Chlyde has another ream about Connell - she finds herself in a storm, calling for him and Ysenda. He's calling for her and her daughter as well, but she sees only sinister shapes in the rainy dark. The rain turns warm and tastes of salt; she realizes it is blood as it rises around her. Connell shouts something in a language she doesn't understand, echoing in the thunder, and she awakes just as the blood rises above her struggling hands. Karsush is able to comfort her some.
Also that morning, Volda takes Brauni and Frond to meet the local lord. They stop to chat with Nicu, a shifter who works for the lord. He outlines some options for raids and they set up a contract with him - allowing Brauni to take charge one of the raid parties.
