In other news we are fixing a hole in the roof that the Sparra updated us about. Hard work is being put into fixing the hole before winter hits as it is affecting the Sparra loft and Queen Chestnut wants it fixed ASAP. The GUOSIM had said they would help but no one has seen the GUOSIM, not a one.Prehaps they are once more wandering around a it seems they do not stay in one place too long, hope they are well where ever they are.
We also have a Master Healer now, Brother Jaison is our new Master Healer. We have yet to get a premit Gatekeeper or Bell Ringer buyt beasts at the abbey has been helping with this.
Also it seems young Oz, who has gone though a growth spurt, is intersted in the Bee Folk of the abbey and gets along very well with them,prehaps we may get a new Beekeeper soon but we shall see as Elder elmef is helping the badger learn of the bees and thier proper care.
That is all for now my friends

Friends,
I write a little more.With a sad heart I have to mention the death of Lt. Elbio. No one is sure what happen as no struggle was seen when he was found dead in the woods.It was all a great shock to the abbey as well as the Long Patrol. He is buried in the abbey graveyard and of course word of this sad event was sent to Salamanstron.
I myself am in total shock of this.His own daugfhter had even come to visit only to be meet with this sad news. She decided to step away from the Long Patrol and travel with a couple otters from the Western Shores. I wish young Cianna well and I hope all goes well for her where ever it is she goes.

Also leaveing Ferravale, and likely why the recoreds of the village was placed in my care for safekeeping, are Recorder Rupert as well as Mergleton the town ambassator. It was said the Under taker Markalaway may way still libve in the creepy house in the graveyard, or maybe he is a ghost that stays around to keep the dead safe and tend to the dead and the graveyard.No one seems to know as the undertake Markalaway was rarely seen for the past few seasons and when he was he seemed to vanish just as quickly. I myself think he is just an old hermit that prehaps likes no one ,but who knows as no one really ever knew his age and some clained he was hunderns of seasons old.I find that silly but again,who knows as I ahve never meet the village undertaker. I only know he is a old one eyed rat that rarely ventures from his creepy cabin at the far far edge of the Ferravale graveyard.

No ill has come to the abbey.It happen in Ferravale. A couple nights after Our friends left for thier homeland a unknown group of beasts attacjked Ferravale and burned down the Town Hall.The town Hall was a complete loss and the Chieftain Blis home was half burned down as well. The Chieftain Blisa was captured and taken away,but no one knows to wheresadly just a direction is all. Most of the beasts who done this foul deed were found and slain,but a small pawful in number are still out there and tracjked down as we speak. In the choas of this the rat Patch was killed by these foul beats as well as 2-3 of the chieftains main bodyguards. The main Bosdyguards and sopme towns beast have jioned in a serch party to find thier chieftain and it is likely they may nerver return. I do not know why me, as well as a couple others, felt this feeling they would never return to Mossfower but at the same time a feeling that even though they will never come back to Mossflower there is a chance they will be found and live any remaining days elsewhere.I do hope they are found,even if it is to live elsewhere far far from Mossflower.
I shall keep you updated on Ferravale as me,Mother Krisha and Matilda will check on the village to see how it is and if help is needed.

Lately my fruiend Dorarose has had odd dreams of possible danger in her homeland. A meeting with the abbot and some elders was done and it was advised that Dorarose and her family head back to thier homelands to help with this time of turmoil there. We will need to think of a replacement for a main Bellringer, a Master healer and a Gatekeeper but Dorarose and her brother, as well as Lillymoore and Angela won't be heading off till the Sumer feast has happen. They will leave the motrning after the feast.
In other great and wonderful news Lt. Elbio is back with us and not just that he is walking again! Yes you read it right he is walking again, sometimes he does need his walking staff but he is once more walking again.He has also brought a small group of hares with him whom will set a old base again in Mossflower woods.A way to help keep an eye on Mossflower and when needed sent a runner or a bird messenger to Salamandstron .This is a great way to keeop more updated with our friends at the great mountain and them keep updated about us. It makes the woods and abbey feel more safe.
I shall update again soon my friends!

The next couple days after this treehouse taskeover there seems to be an agreement and the squirrels have left the treehouse much to the delight of not just the dibbun but the adults as well. The Gawtribe will have a old maple tree in the northern part of the woods on the other side of the River Moss. We shall visit them from time to time to keep an eye on them so they don't get too mischious.

We just had our winter feast.
Winter of the Squirrel. I think as the abbot said, it fits nicely.
An old Abney friend, John as returned.
Also the Gawtribe are back and will be spending a few days in the abbey till they can find a new home in Mossflower woods.
The seasons have been peaceful and I do hope they stay peaceful. We still have our peace treaty with Ferravale and that is always good.
A tree fell in the woods. We have decided to use the wood from the tree for any woodwork needed and maybe some firewood as well. A family of 4 squirrels(a mother,father,2 dibbuns) lived in the tree and I have been told an owl may of lived on the very top of the tree,but I am unsure. A Group of beasts plan to go to where the tree is in the next couple days.
Also named spring.

Some sad news also to share, the Log-a-log Vilfred has died, an ambush happened at the GUOSIM camp.A passing band of vermin took over the camp. Vilfred son, Xavier got help from Ferravale and got the camp back and the group of vermin were killed.
The new GUOSIM leader is new Log-a-log Xavier, I know he will do well. In fact we had the Spring Feast at the GUOSIM camp.
As Summer had come the GUOSIM decided to have a river trip and invited me along. It sounds exciting and I will be sure to write about the trip as we travel, but no worries we are back in time for the Summer feast in a few weeks.
