Matilda chimes with her opinion: "Well if we're going to be here a few days, we might as well do something. We'd get bored otherwise. Hey Rannos, do you think it might be a good idea to have someone do a quick scouting run to see if there are any better camping areas? I mean, yeah, fortifications are nice and all, but we are way out in the open here."

Just then, Beka's lion surprises the gnome with a nudge to her leg. Matilda is somewhat by surprised by the large cat's attention, but she seems to take it fairly well in stride. She grins and pats it on the head.

"What a sweet kitty you are! Hey look guys! Beka's kitty likes me!"

She begins to scritch the lion behind the ears.
Matilda is a young gnome. She has curly blond hair, blue eyes, and is almost always smiling. She is quite intelligent, but is prone to occasional sillyness.
