After spending the night with [[Venn]] again, [[the Corsair (The Bloodletters)|the Corsair]] wakes up in the morning in a good mood, going over his options. Since he wants to be able to make his getaway in the ''[[Silver Spray]]'' immediately after he wrecks [[Garglespike]]'s plans, he reflects that he must wait for the [[time tide]]s. With Venn in a talkative mood, he learns that the planet's name is [[Hoppiq Minor]], as well as the reason for the closing of the brewery (the vampires didn't want prospective donors to have cheap beer in their system to dilute the flavour of the high-quality alcohol they desire).

The old woman directs them "east into the forest", and after a little searching, they find the large blue barrels of blood, equipped with [[stasis field]]s, hidden in a stash beneath a deep-rooted tree.
