"That's a little cold bud, yeah we need to move on, but let's take a second to figure out what she means first."

Vickie goes over to where Rachel is and tries to comfort her as best she can.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, Rachel; you where trying to save yourself and us for that matter. You did what you thought best at the time. We can find some seedlings and plant more trees to take their place." 

Vickie looks back towards the others, "Right?"

Rachel looks at Vickie and Herschel sniffling some as Vickie plants the thought into her head.  "Yes Seeedlings.  I can get the trees to proving m with seedlings and we can replant this area of destruction so the trees can once again grow here and the forest can feel whole once again."  She stands up and wipes her eyes as she eyes everyone.  "I would need everyones help on this but I can not leave this area until it is done.  Who will stay here and assist me on this?"

Always eager to learn new skills and magic, I immediately offer to help as I can "Whatever skills and knowledge I have is yours for the use, if it helps. I even spent a summer reforesting in B.C., so maybe I can remember some efficiencies to do it."

"We are not leaving anyone behind Rachel. If we all help, how long do you need?"

Seems like you have a vast array of friends and willing hands. Direct us as you will m’lady so we can set this to rights for you.

Rachel looks about and then starts to assign people tasks.  As she gathers seedlings she hands them off to the others one at a time and directs them where to place them.  It takes close to five hours to get everything planted by her directions and soon you can see what a nice new growth of forest will look like.  Once all are planted she sits in the middle of the clearing lous style and closes her eyes.  Cesear stands by her as she sits this way for 30 minutes before you all see the newly planted trees start to grow.  After another hour the newly planted trees are more than saplings and reach a height of ten to twelve feet high.  Rachel opens her eyes and looks at you all and smiles.  Then her eyes roll up in her head and she passes out.

I rush over, unslinging my waterskin as I go. I take stock of her looks-checks flushed? Forehead hot? Breathing-normal, shallow, raspy?. i moisten a cloth and will bathe her forehead, neck and wrists. ‘Need a tarp or something to create shade. Anybody know when she last ate?’

I reach into my bag and pull out a small package containing a little bit of honey comb. "Here, mix some of this into the water. It should help her recover"

Taking the comb ‘As in drink or rub? Is this overexertion or low blood sugar?’ Which ever is the answer I will mix with the water and apply. Ear to chest-how is her heartbeat and breathing? 

I also come by, not sure if my tenuous relationship with Bahamut and the granted healing ability would work in this case, but using it anyways. With a muttered prayer "Hey, big guy, any chance you could help fix whatever is wrong with my friend?" I lay hands on her to pass the divine energies into her form. The divine energy flows back , but he hears a message and tells the others "I've been told she just needs time and food." 

I hand it off and stand back, "Drink, it's not just the sugar. Raw honey has a lot of antioxidants and enzymes that can help the body recover when it is pushed beyond its limits."

When you check on her she is unconscious but breathing normally.  Her skin is soft and warm but not hot.  If you put small sips of the honeyed water into her mouth she does swallow. 

Grant comes over and lays hands on her sending her healing magic to help her in any way. 

With the others tending to Rachel I'll instead look around, "She'll need rest after that. Lets go ahead and call the day early. Someone help me find a good spot to set up and get a warm meal going for her sake.

Vickie offers to help Jason get  the camp and a meal going once she makes sure Rachel is alright for herself. She would  not wish to loss such a wonderful friend.

I also help out where I can, checking on Rachel now and again as we set up for the rest. Ariel is up and about, as usual, watching for any dangers or uninvited guests. 

OOC:  I will need a couple rolls from Grant and Jason to see if their scouts see anything coming towards the group.

It is near mid of night before Rachel regains consciousness.  Once she is awake she eats enough food and drinks enough water for three people before she falls asleep saying something about waking her in the morning.  Even if the first sun will be up in less than three hours. 

Looking at the others prior to her awakening, I’ll ask out loud to anybody who wants to answer ‘Is that a common thing for her, or is she prone to overdo it a lot? I mean, my god, thats several years if not a decade of growth in a short amount of time. She had to have used up a shit ton of reserve energy-maybe even life force-to accomplish that. I...’ shaking my head I won’t complete what my last thought is. 

I shake my head, "Far as I'm aware, this is a first. Then again, I've never seen her even try to grow anything even close to being on this scale. I'm just glad she seems to be recovering."
