Of course the [i]other[/i] option is nobody rescues her. Valya ain't exactly a damsel, she has the capacity to turn her foe into bloody chunks smeered onto the wall. (Then again capacity to do something and the skill and experience to pull it off are two very different things.) She's just not a grizzled soldier/adventure, and so has a habit of panicking in actual combat scenarios. But if push comes to shove she [i]should[/i] be able to deal with her current situation mostly okay. Hopefully. Maybe.

Butttt, I'm certain she wouldn't mind the help.
