Rifftrude Dibbly-Firken

Rifftrude Dibbly-Firken was, until very recently, the owner of the Blue Swine—a popular inn in Grunberg, several miles east of Altdorf. She and her husband had a thriving business there and people came from all over to sample Halfling cuisine. But it all changed when Rifftrude discovered her mate of 20 years was having an affair with a sweet little Halfling named Doda. Rifftrude was crushed, but she vowed revenge.

She invited Doda and her extensive family to a grand feast two days hence, to thank them for their constant support. That night, she killed her husband, used his blood for pudding, and his flesh, along with a mix of onions, potatoes, oats, and peppers, as a filling for her famous meatbread. On the appointed night, blushing Doda was there with her father, mother, and all of her brothers and sisters, and all feasted unknowingly on the flesh of Rifftrude’s husband.

The matron was quite pleased with the whole thing until her dog, Rufus, entered the common room carrying her dead husband’s arm bone in his mouth. The whole clan of Halflings were surprised and a little disgusted, but it was as nothing compared to the wailing sorrow of poor Doda.

Her vile act found out, Rifftrude fled the Blue Swine and crossed the countryside until she came upon the Reik. Fearing capture by her townsfolk, she flagged down a passing ship, the Emperor Wilhelm, and secured passage, offering to serve as the ship’s cook in exchange for free passage. Captain Bischof agreed and has never regretted his decision since the Head Cook’s fare is the best he has ever tasted, though he remains suspicious about why she was so eager to board the ship in the first place.
