Eunice and Ricky Joe

The family next door to the elves' temple: Eunice, a level-30 Fathom Dwarf, heavily pregnant mother of fifteen, who takes a rolling pin to the elf whose spell bounced a rock off her boy's head and goes into labour that evening; and Ricky Joe, level 2, who ties his pet salamander Benjamin to a stick, punches a velociraptor, and loses his arm to Mongo, who swallows it along with Benjamin, eaten for the second time, and gives it back when Ricky Joe demands it.

Arc

Fifteen children, a salamander on a stick, a heavily pregnant mother with a rolling pin (in labour by ch. 21), a boy who loses his arm to Mongo and gets it back regurgitated (ch. 20); Ricky Joe's intelligence about the skyfowl lady and the women is what points at the temple's traffic (ch. 21).
