OK, to answer your questions Vanadia: Rico is now a Paladin's warhorse, so you actually summon him from a celestial dimension. He will remain for 2 hours for every rank of your Divine Companion talent (which would put it at 16 hours for you). He appears with all of the gear he had when he vanished, and he appears within ten feet of Caterina.
Now, a couple of additional things to keep in mind for Caterina is that she has a PIETY score, and there are things she can do to add to that score, or subtract from that score on a daily basis. For example, if she doesn't attend or hold services to Rydor when appropriate, she could lose PIETY. If she ever drops below 500 PIETY, she can no longer summon Rico. The PIETY lists are on the first page of the Q&A forum.
Also, while you gained back one LUCK point, I had to use two Creative Currency to reroll a critical failure in your combat with the bull-crow. You get Creative Currency awarded for excellent role-playing which I've no doubt any of you will be able to achieve.
Also, I'm going to allow a certain amount of leniency in who your characters know outside of their lifepaths. After all, they are all very famous people who've been around for some time. They'll know quite a few people, and if I think you don't know someone you cite, I'll just politely let you know that you need to edit your post.
Keep in mind that a Reputation of 8 is only 2 away from being world-renowned.
So, I've updated everyone who is in game, and Blammm is now in full swing as well. I look forward to continuing this!
