Rattrick

Species: Rat-kin
Occupation: Cleric
Origin: Blackwharf
Current Location: With refugees in valley near Hearthgate, receiving care

Physical Description

Size: Rather small rat creature, smaller than dwarves and humanstypical for rat-kin.

Appearance: Rat-kin cleric wearing what were once proper clergy robes, now tattered and dirty after two weeks of continuous marching under Void Titan control.

Physical Condition (Post-Restoration): Feet covered in horrible blisters and "in horrible shape" from two weeks of walking. Brand new shoes completely destroyed and worn out. General traumatization and exhaustion.

The Void Titan Experience

Last Clear Memory: Fleeing Blackwharf from "that thing that was destroying the city" approximately one hour ago (from Rattrick's subjective perspective).

Reality: Lost two weeks under Void Titan influence. Time perception massively distortedwhat felt like an hour was actually two weeks of continuous marching.

Physical Evidence: New shoes reduced to destroyed rags, feet blistered to the point of being barely functional. Rattrick had been marching continuously with the void titan for the entire two-week period.

Mental State: Severe time dilation/memory loss. Conscious during the period but existing in altered time perception. Memory gaps appear permanentRattrick has no recollection of the two weeks between fleeing Blackwharf and waking in the Sound Garden.

Restoration (Session 4)

Captured by Fellowship: Mortimer and Ulion captured Rattrick as one of the affected civilians marching with the Void Titan threatening Hearthgate.

Sound Garden Recovery: Taken to the Sound Garden, where the location's therapeutic properties had immediate effect. Rattrick went from nightmare-struggling to calm sleep upon crossing the boundary into the Garden's warmth.

Awakening: Restored when Nyx's spell freed Shod and broke the void titan's hold on all affected individuals.

Initial Reaction: Traumatized, confused, and angry: "What the hell did you people do to me?" Rattrick initially believed the Fellowship was responsible for his lost time.

Interview with Fellowship

Conducted by Ale-ore: Used "Speak Softly" move to gather intelligence about Blackwharf's destruction while comforting the traumatized cleric.

Testimony: Provided crucial evidence that Blackwharf was destroyed or heavily damaged by void titan activity approximately two weeks before the Hearthgate crisis.

Comforting Words from Ale-ore: "I know it's scary... we're not in Blackwharf anymore, we are at Khaz-Dorahn... you've been not yourself for a couple weeks now."

Medical Treatment

Provided by Mortimer: Who tended to Rattrick's destroyed feet using cobbling skills learned back in Blackwharf. "Oh, your poor shoes. I took a bit of a cobbling lessons back in Blackwharf."

Village People Assistance: Received poultices and bandages from multiple villagers helping with medical care.

Aid Accepted: Despite trauma and confusion, Rattrick accepted beer, food, and medical treatment from the Fellowship and refugees.

Significance

Witness to Blackwharf's Fall: Rattrick's testimony confirms Blackwharf fell to void titan attack around two weeks prior to Session 4, providing timeline and method information.

Proof of Time Distortion: Demonstrates that those affected by Void Titans experience severe time perception alterationconsciousness maintained but in radically distorted temporal experience.

Physical Trauma Evidence: The destroyed shoes and ruined feet prove the affected march continuously with void titans, explaining the zombie-like behavior witnesses described.

Restoration Possibility: Rattrick proves that affected individuals can be saved with trauma but without permanent loss of selfmemory gaps exist but core identity remains intact.

First Rat-kin Encounter: Rattrick is the first member of the rat-kin species encountered by the Fellowship, introducing this diaspora people to campaign knowledge.

Current Status

Location: Remains with refugees in the valley, receiving ongoing care and recovering from physical and psychological trauma.

Future Uncertain: Options include returning to Blackwharf (if it still exists in salvageable form), staying with Fellowship, or seeking other survivors from his city.

Trauma Recovery: Long-term effects of two-week void influence unknown. May provide additional testimony as memories surface or trauma processes.

What Rattrick Knows (Potentially)

Blackwharf's Last Moments: Though memories are fragmented, Rattrick fled the city as it was being destroyed. More details might surface as trauma is processed.

Void Titan Attack Pattern: Experienced the attack firsthand, though much is lost to memory gaps and time distortion.

Survivor Information: May know of other Blackwharf refugees or survivors scattered from the city's fall.
