Obviously, I've been having issues again. Just want you all to know that I'm still thinking of you guys and the game and everything involved. I went to Brunei and they didn't have any internet! It was sadface.
However, it should also be noted, as I'm struggling at the moment, that I'm clinically and cyclically depressed - though the desire to post and my love of you guys and your characters and the game remains, a lot of my energy and will to actually do the things I genuinely want to do is gone. I think about the games, I read the materials over and over, and I genuinely want to talk to everyone, but I can't make myself sign on or write. I am constantly frustrated by myself, sitting and playing pointless bejeweled games when I know this is waiting for me.
I just can't describe it any better than that.
I am here and settled again with a Visa for another 30 days so hopefully I will be more regular. I understand if anyone doesn't really want to deal with a probably sporadic Rat as I try to get back into my routines and patch myself up, especially in such a fast paced game.
All that said, I'm fighting hard for this hobby of mine that probably literally saved my life in the last bad patch I went through.
And yeah, I get that this might be needlessly melodramatic, but I wanted to get it out there. I owe you all that much.

Rekka appears to have slept through all of this, since nobody woke up the healer at any point. When she does wake up, she comes poking out of her nest, nose twitching for the scent of nearby cake and blood.
She mutters to herself, sitting up, "What's going on?"

Rekka has come back to camp and eyes the cat-woman disapprovingly. She's tired though, so the small rat-girl finds her little nest of a bed and curls up, muttering sleepily to her ferret the whole way.

Rekka relaxes a bit and peers around Vik at the newcomers. They have a charter, which she certainly never had, so she seems less suspicious. Also they don't look like giant lizards that might eat her.
She mutters to her ferret in Aklo, and it pokes its masked face out of her hood to look at them too.
Aklo:
"I dunno who these folks are, Precious, but they definitely look less hungry."

Rekka squeals, "We're from Oleg's!" Then she adds quickly, "Well I'm not but they are and we're not undeads or dragons or bandits so maybe you're looking for us!"

Rekka squeals and dives behind Vik. This adventure is getting a bit exciting for her tastes, and she curses in Aklo about ever venturing out of her nest.

Rekka chitters at Vik in Aklo, which sounds (and is) pretty much scolding. Then she takes her cake and nibbles it daintily so she doesn't get any crumbs in her whiskers. She's still observing the dragon-kin-things with suspicious liquid eyes. There are just too many things around here that look like they can and will eat her!

Rekka chitters worriedly at Vik and scuttles in a worried circle around him, though he's sitting up. She reaches over to poke at the tattoo and make sure its not an injury, and then sits herself right between Vik and the dragons, trying to look menacing and failing.

Rekka had already started snaking forward towards Vik - Fort:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
She emits a high-pitched noise at the flash of light, but manages to close her eyes most of the way, and dives at the fighter, paws outstretched to heal him

Rekka comes creeping out of her bush, since she's allowed to help, and finds a spot to sit nearby, cleaning her whiskers with her paws in a very ratlike fashion.

Yay! A Fionn!
"More help would be good, but the more time we spend running around looking for help, the longer they have to get help too when their scouts don't report back."

Rekka nods a bit. Its not the combat that bothers her so much as just being so small in light of everything else scampering around. Dragons, undead. Crazy cat ladies. She flicks her tail though, and seems content to stay near Vik.

Rekka sniffs around the box. She shakes her head a bit, chittering to herself. She shakes her head, "I'm not sure if I can, actually. I did not prepare to read magic the way you did today." Sniff-sniff-sniff.
"I assume the box is triggered to crispify anyone who opens it thought." That's logical!

Rekka Dodge!:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
She just makes it out of the way singing her tail and ears and fur, and gives a startled squeal that sounds more like a scared rat than it does any sort of human sound.
She then creeps forward to sniff at the chest and the sphere therein.
