Redwall MUCK Forum

(Hope I'm putting this in the right place.)

For those who live in Mossflower or Redwall, there may be news of a strange otter showing himself to lone travelers. Wearing a bit of sailcloth as a cape, dressed in ragged pants, and wielding a makeshift spear, the otter appears underfed, if strong of arm and chest. He appears around 10 seasons old; a young adult. The spear is a thick beam with a hole in one end that a dagger's handle slips into before being tied down at the crossguard.
He seems to crash out of the bushes, brandishing his spear and demanding food. Nothing more than that. When he gets what he wants, he disappears back into the woods.
Those who try talking to him are just met with the demand for food again while he waves his weapon. Or his back as he runs off after being given vittles.
Those who lack food find that he just fades back into the woods, never making good on the implied threats waving a weapon entails.
And those who would draw a weapon in defense also find that he backs off, never sticking around to fight.

He seems to be heading in the general direction of Redwall Abbey, but given where he's sighted between one day and the next, it's pretty clear he's just wandering the woods, either lost or with no actual destination in mind.
