Just the beginning

Rekka a 15 year old  runaway finds herself mixed with a new group of "interesting" characters: Billy, the first person she could actually call a friend; only to have him die and then mysterious be brought back to life. Isaac, a farmer from the town who has unnatural red skin and just so happens have the ability to (somewhat) control the undead. A winged lady from the higher planes who as a "thing" against the gods. Rekka thinks she also has a thing of keeping her foot in her mouth. A rancher half elf with bow, who really wants to fight werewolves. A winged male who is "devoted" Cleric, whose god is now testing him. A Bar Wench who is called Bar Wench Jessica, and despite her living and working in a small town, she really knows some obscure things. Rekka and Jessica both like dancing so there was some common ground for both of them.
This strange grouping are now working on saving a small "Podunk" town from the consequential troubles that weren't quite their fault but are destroying the town folks' lives.  Working their way through the wildness they hope to seek answers and help from a duke who lost the lands in which all these troubles started; Only to find a Dukedom in a power struggle between the court of power, the court of the gods and the Duke. With the group unsuccessful intervention in a deadly assassination plot, sequential was the court of power taken down, and suggestive worldwide invasion of planes creatures stopped. But Rekka can't help feel that they now just added to their trouble by making enemies with some unknown person.  Despite all the side stepping to help others or themselves (the finding a treasure trove of wealth, the killing of a poor innocent boy, the almost ending up in a different plane altogether, a smart Troll, a smooth side job, just to name a few.), the group now has a chance to have their hopes realized or to be dashed away with more "run around" quests. 
With all those things Rekka still has to keep her eyes open for Sir. She has no idea if or when he'll show up, but with the awesome cloak she received, Rekka slowly starts gaining confident in her own abilities. Although she not quite sure of the others and still has trouble trusting them; they're not too bad though she'll never tell them that. Also with her new found freedom she starts taking steps towards her secret dreams of dancing, while retaining and improving her learned skills of the art of the thief.
