Theon nods and heads to the private room. "Thank you."

Asha gathers some men's wear in green and gold as well as some underthings. "Don't worry about paying for this. I hate to see a naked man...I mean, a person in need."
Gashka does well enough just to keep the contents of her stomach where they belong, "I don't feel so good."
Anyka's flask finishes off the swarm.
The flames start to rise from the webs, threatening the bulbous shape in front of it.
You hear muffled sounds coming from within the sac.
Giving no thought to the flames, Derika rushes forward to cut open the sac before it's incinerated.
Derika cuts into the sac, barely missing the ears of the ratfolk within. It looks up at the half-orc with a look of unbridled terror.
Taking a step back she says, "Oohhh sorry....can you get out of there? Things are catching on fire, but we're not going to hurt you." She looks at the ratfolk and tries to determine if it can get itself out of the sac, or if she needs to help it escape.
The ratfolk remains silent, perhaps from the shock. Derika can see that the ratfolk is rather stuck in the sac.
Asha goes to the dressing room and passes the clothing to Theon. "Let me know if they fit."
Theon gets changed into the offered clothing. "A little loose, but it'll be alright. Thank you."
See how stuck they were in the sac she says, "Okay, don't freak out. I'm going to help you get out of there."
Derika gently reaches inside the sac and pulls away the webbing holding them in place before helping the ratfolk out of the sac.
Once they are safely out of the sac, she sets the individual on the ground away from the slowly spreading flames.
"Um, could we put out these fires before we continue?" Chris asks. "We don't want to rush and deal with fire and another swarm of spiders."

The ratfolk, out of the sac, faints.
"Poor guy...or gal seems traumatized..."
She nods, "Yeah...of course. Vishanti and Chris, could you please see to the poor thing while I take care of these flames? Just make sure they're okay."
Going back to the part of the webbing that's on fire, she cuts it away from the rest of it and kind of stomps it into the ground so it will just go out from the dirt.
Gashka just stands there feeling sick as she watches Derika step in and take care of things. She felt so stupid...but she couldn't help what her stomach was doing.
She just hated creepy things that crawled and those spiders.....she couldn't even finish the thought without feeling nauseous all over again. Standing there she takes a few breaths, "Okay..when you're done doing that I think I'll be okay to go back to the sacs. I just....I needed a couple of minutes to get over those things....you know, crawling over me. I hate spiders...."
Chris checks on the ratfolk.
Theon emerges from the dressing room and approaches Sadhana. "I believe I'm ready to meet my sister now."
Chris determines that the ratfolk is alright, if not a little dehydrated.
"The...uhm...this person is alright," Chris says. "He...or she could use a little water when they wake up."
Eldan looks closely at the ratfolk. "Umm, can't you tell whether it's a he or she?"

"I've never seen...someone like this before and I'm not going to go tearing off clothes to figure it out."
Eldan determines the ratfolk is female.

"She's a she and she's a ratfolk," ELdan says. "We had a few who lived in my hometown."
Getting her stomach under control she nods, "Then the sooner we deal with these sacs and whatever....disgusting gross thing is inside them, the sooner we can get her help and whoever else might be trapped therein...if I get covered in spiders again though...I can't promise I won't puke...but maybe this will help a little." Taking out the anti toxin Chris made, she downs the contents. Feeling a bit better she approaches the next sac and tears it open, praying to whoever might hear that she doesn't get covered in hundreds of the creepy crawling things again.
She nods, "Let's get this done." Downing one of the potions herself, she rips open another sac as well.
"Perhaps I need to see about a medical journal or some such," Chris mutters, partly to himself.
This time, Derika finds a short birdlike humanoid in the egg sac. "Tik tik tik, oh thank you!"
She nods, "Sure, can you get out of there okay, or do you need some help?"
Having finished her lunch, Rajni cleans the dishes up and dries them before putting them away. Drying her hands she walks out into the store to let her mama know that she was going to check on Balladier and get the feed and stuff together for the trip before going to talk to Dillon.
Getting to the store she sees Sadhana with her mother and some strange looking guy. Pausing for a moment she says, "Oh...sorry, I didn't know you were busy mama."
Rajni wanders over to her mama, while looking more closely at the strange man with Sadhana. He looked familiar somehow, but she just couldn't recall where she had seen him before. Tilting her head up to look at him she asks curiously, "I'm sorry....but do I know you from somewhere?"
"Tik tik tik, I might need some help," the birdlike creature says, flailing its arms futilely. "These webs are oh so sticky."
Meanwhile, Gashka finds the remains of another adventurer and some treasure.
Theon looks at Rajni for a moment. "Hmm...maybe, but my memory is a bit fuzzy. I am Theon. A pleasure to meet you."
He extends a hand to the fetchling.
Derika reaches inside the sac and carefully pulls the webbing away from the birdlike creature, before helping them get out of the sac. "I'm glad you're alright now, I'm Derika and these are my friends. Move to the back, but stay here okay? We'll help you get out of here after we deal with the rest of these."
Her eyes become a little large, and her mouth forms an "O" of surprise as she takes his hand and shakes it, while trying to wipe the look of surprise quickly off of her face. She gives Sadhana a questioning glance before looking back at him, "Oh...yeah, I mean...I'm Rajni. It's nice to meet you as well. I guess you're new to town here then huh?" Her look to Sadhana seemed to say, So, you really did it huh?
"Yes," Theon answers. "I guess I'll be staying here in the long term...not sure where though. Anyway, I better get to my sister."
He looks to Sadhana. "Ready?"
"Tik tik tik, I'm Kyoga," the creature replies, before going to the back with Chris and the ratfolk.
Giving him a smile she says, "Alright, well...have a good day. I'm sure Arista will be very happy to see you again." She looks at her mama and can't help but smile, though she didn't really know what else to say.
She nods, "It's good to meet you. We can talk when we're done okay? Just stay back where it's safer." Looking over at Gashka she nods and steps up to the next sac. Giving Gahska a nod to let her know she's ready, she cuts into the sac the same time that Gashka does.
Eldan, feeling a little uncomfortable around the ratfolk and tengu, decides to step in and help Gashka and Derika get this task done.
Derika gives Eldan an appreciative nod as he comes to help them open up the sacs.
Giving her sister and Eldan a nod, she moves to another sac and says a silent prayer before cutting it open.
Gashka and Derika find more treasure while Eldan releases a giant spider.
Initiative:
Round 1: Gashka, Anyka, Chris, Vishanti, Spider, Derika, Eldan
;
Gashka looks over in time to see the giant spider come out of the sac and shakes her head, "Oh hells to the no." She simply says before moving quickly to flank the spider with Eldan.
Her eyes become a little large, and her mouth forms an "O" of surprise as she takes his hand and shakes it, while trying to wipe the look of surprise quickly off of her face. She gives Sadhana a questioning glance before looking back at him, "Oh...yeah, I mean...I'm Rajni. It's nice to meet you as well. I guess you're new to town here then huh?" Her look to Sadhana seemed to say, So, you really did it huh?
Sadhana give Rajni a little smile, reaching down to pull the chain around her neck up enough for Rajni to see the now clear stone in the wish ring setting. Thanks to you she mouths soundlessly.
"Definitely." the magus replies to Theon. "We'll see you around Rajni, enjoy the rest of your day....you did good."

Rajni's cheeks darken considerably as she walks them to the door, "Okay, I will. Hey, be safe out there." She says as she opens the door for them.
Rajni gives them a wave as they head off towards Arista's house. Rajni just hoped it wasn't too much of a shock for her, what with the pregnancy and all.

Anyka is in motion almost before anyone realizes the spider is there, racing up to plunge her khukri into the spider.

Anyka snuffs the life from the spider before it is even aware of what is going on.
