R'tchikk
R'tchikk
R'tchikk is a skritt and an Astral Ward scout. She is a close partner to Gladium and often helps in translating her physical gestures for clarity. The pair of scouts are first encountered by the Commander in the fourth chapter of the Secrets of the Obscure story-line, Voices beyond the Veil.
Biography[edit]
Early years[edit]
When R'tchikk was younger, she was caught in an asuran trap and experimented on, causing her to become more intelligent than other skritt [1]. She left the skritt and ultimately found her place in the Astral Ward.
Secrets of the Obscure[edit]
Act II[edit]
The Commander first meets R'tchikk in the Command Center, where she introduces herself as a fan. She takes part in reclaiming the Wizard's Tower, as part of Mabon's group, and there asks the Commander to help locate dangerous artifacts.
Act III[edit]
R'tchikk and Gladium assist the Commander in investigating the Bastion of the Obscure, where they find an artifact showing a memory of Mabon and Isgarren. She later takes part in the battle to cleanse Isgarren atop the World Spire.

Dialogue[edit]
- In Outer Ring, The Wizard's Tower during Return to Secrets of the Obscure
- Initial dialogue
- R'tchikk: Wayfinder! R'tchikk is very glad you are helping. The museum lacks much, and many friends are busy across Amnytas. We three will put our heads together, like skritt, and make a good plan.
- What did you have in mind?
- R'tchikk: R'tchikk and Glade have devised a three-part strategy. Part one: The wayfarer helps Amnytas, wizards, and new Mists friends. We get more shinies for museum.
- That makes sense. It'll help to clear up any trouble. What else?
- R'tchikk: Part two: Wayfarer's deeds and relics become must—have display pieces. We make more shinies for museum. Part three: Grand reopening! Great celebration! After R'tchikk finishes all the cleaning...
- It sounds like I have my part lined up. Good luck with the cleaning!
- Gladium: (Gladium gives you a knowing look and flashes a thumbs-up. It seems like things are going according to plan.)
- Good seeing both of you—I'll look forward to that reopening. (awards Returning to Horn of Maguuma)
- I hope things are less hectic here with the change in Kryptis leadership.
- R'tchikk: R'tchikk and Glade are busy always! Diplomats to take on tour, ward expeditions to visit Tyria... there is always more to do. But it is much nicer in times of peace.
- That it is.
- Good to see you, too. I have some shopping to do; be right back.
- Subsequent dialogue

- R'tchikk: Did you see R'tchikk fight by the commander's side that last battle?
- R'tchikk: The Kryptis was like, "ROAR!" but R'tchikk's dagger sliced through the air.
- R'tchikk: Skritt went, "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
- R'tchikk: And skritt's blade went right. To. The. Throat.
- R'tchikk: (panting)
- R'tchikk: Skritt did NOT have sugar this morning, no.
