Log:

RW Abbey: Infirmary
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several beds are lined against the red sandstone walls of the Abbey's Infirmary. An examination table, separated from the rest of the room by hanging blankets, rests against the far wall. Tucked into a small alcove is a sizeable workbench with various containers for mixing and preparing medicinal compounds. Against another wall is a desk for use by the Infirmary Keeper. A curtained off alcove behind the desk hides a locked door to the Infirmary's supplies and linens.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oz has been in the infirm as a just in case and his shoulder is sore but checked over and lucky not broken. He did get a little water in his lungs so of course they are making him stay at least a day or so.

Karth peeks inside. He heard some of what happen and walks inside. Check on Oz it seemed as his leader was elsewhere."Hello sir, how are you doing after...what ever it is that happen"

Blisa comes stalking out of a back room, scowling. Her vixen healer bodyguard, Valerie, trails behind her, looking frazzled. Ferdinand the ferret follows, appearing much less irritated. Angela exits last, closing the door behind her. She looks the least perturbed. The young cat comes over and sits by the badger, her tail poufy and twitching.

Oz speaks "I...am fine." He coughs a little, hey he was coughing worse earlier. He frowns "A...accident at the pond, not totally sure what happen." He frowns as he knows he ended up in the pond, which was not fun when your blind and can't figure out which way to go as its not like he knows the pond, he got out that's to an otter nearby.

Karth nods "You were pulled from the pond, as was a mouse dibbun...the dibbun is fine and so is the sea otter dibbun, whom I believe was somehow a cause of it."

The bodyguards slip out of the room. While Angela busily started mixing up something, Blisa looks over at the badger. "Wait, what happened? Papa Oz, how in the world did you get into the pond?" She looks over at the otter, who seems to know about what had happened.

Oz frowns but he seems glad the two dibbuns are ok as he rubs his shoulder a little.

Zolomon walks in and frowns "It was horrible...this otter lass..well she murdered a poor innocent cake and maybe messed up a cart from the kitchens but that innocent cake is for sure gone I mean who would do that to cake.."He quickly shuts up as he most likely gets a glare from someone and moves towards a table."Anyways...a cart, with an otter dibbun and cake crashed into Ozzy and the mouse dibbun and they went flying into the pond"

Karth blinks as he listens and clears his throat "Interesting...the only thing I heard was a dibbun having some clue about Ace, not so much on the pond just that Oz was in here"

Blisa's eyes widen. Angela turns and glares at the hare. "Oh, aye, 'cause the cake is more important than the Badger Father. Y'accursed hares," she adds in a mutter as she turns back to her task. "Always thinkin' about food." The Ferravale Chieftain looks at the sea otter. "Ace? Oh, is that the Defenders member who's missing? I heard about that."

Oz sits up slowly, weather he can stay sat up is another thing. "I.." He coughs a little "Am fine now...just a sore shoulder."He listens "Otter on cart....who?" But he has a general idea.

Zolomon frowns "I didn't say that...course Ozzy is important...goodness"

Karth nods "Yes the missing Hedgehog. He had saved a dibbun the night before he disappeared it seems and maybe that's the dibbun sea otter but I am not sure. I believe Xander and Zolomon was gonna speak with her or maybe already did."

Blisa purses her lips. "There is a rumor of a slaver group in the area; I wonder if they're part of the hedgehog's...Ace's disappearance." Angela scowls darkly at the hare. "Just 'ush yer face an' get o'er 'ere." She gestures at him to join her at the herb counter.

Oz frowns"Slaver...group?"

Meanwhile the hare ears droop and he backs out of the room "I...sort of..kinda need ta do something for Xandy...yeah sorry Ms. A"He turns to attempt to bolt!

Karth frowns as he sees Zolomon go for an escape, well this surely wont help "Sir Xander is not in the abbey I am not sure where he is" The otter is so helpful! He looks to the Ferravale Chieftain "Yes..madam...there is possible slavers around, a couple beasts were hurt by some beasts and I believe they may be the cause of why a dibbun vole is an orphan now. I have not found much on a patrol earlier...then sadly it was a couple weeks ago, before me and Sir Xander returned from our trip but I have not heard of any other missing beasts lately."

Angela watches the hare and calmly says, "If y'don't get o'er 'ere right now, I'll just let the Friar know that I suspect y' o' stealin' a couple o' pies the other day." Blisa listens to the sea otter and nods. "This is unfortunate...yes, Papa Oz, a possible slaver group. I was hoping to do some research while I was visiting this week. It seems that whoever these beasts are, they left a single black rose behind at the place where they had killed a beast."

Oz started to lay down and then seems to sit back up a little too quickly and tenses up in pain as he holds his shoulder and coughs roughly."W..What?" He seems in some sort of shock when the rose is mentioned, no reaction...till then.

Zolomon sighs and walks over to Angela and glaces over at Oz curious now.

Karth frowns as he goes over "Take it easy sir you are still recovering and it may be best to be careful" He is not a healer but he knows rest is best. He is listening as the Ferravale chieftain speaks "A black rose? Never heard of one of those before"

Angela shoves a bowl of something foul-smelling at the hare. "Taste this. Oz, please lay back down, an' slowly. Whatever y'all are talkin' about y'can discuss from a horizontal position." It appears that she's been ignoring them for the most part. Blisa reaches out and goes to gently push on the badger's chest, trying to avoid his injured shoulder. "Yeah, Papa Oz, please don't hurt yourself. And yes, a black rose. I've been trying to figure it out. Apparently there is a cat that some of the guards have seen who has a black rose tattoo on her arm. I drew her from the description i was given."

Oz blinks and allows himself to be pushed down slowly , "The Black Rose..but Blackfur is dead....cat?" He listens "He had a daughter?"

Zolomon shakes his head, no WAY is he tasting anything that smells this bad.

Karth grows more curious "Who is Blackfur...or who was Blackfur?" He frowns "The Black Rose..is that a name is you talking about the flower?"

Angela scowls and goes to grab the hare's ear. "I need a taste tester an' ye're 'ere. Try it or I'll find somethin' worse for ye to try!" Blisa frowns. "'Black Rose'? Papa Oz, please explain what you meant. Is that some sort of group from Mossflower's past?"

Oz frowns "A slaver....he poisoned me shortly after..I got to the abbey, my first like season here. Black Rose is the name of the group....there would be info in the recorder logs, you can look up Blackfur and Black Rose."He frowned "Blackfur killed many beasts, he even had the champion at the time taken captive, but he didn't get the sword that was here at the abbey."

Zolomon seems to whimper but will taste what ever is in that cursed spoon. What did he do to deserve this

Karth listens "My guess is somehow the daughter or whom may be his daughter escaped...maybe with others."

Blisa's eyes narrow. "Well, I will make a point to look in the records now. Blackfur, huh? But why would his daughter come back to the area where he was defeated? One would think that she would want to avoid the place of her father's disgrace." The stuff in the spoon tastes like something tart and slightly sour, but it doesn't taste even half as bad as it smells. It actually tastes kind of good, in an odd sort of way. Angela cocks an eyebrow. "What d'y'think? I was thinkin' o' puttin' in some oregano and basil."

Oz speaks "I..don't know. I know the poison should of killed me and would of had I taken more than a sip of it...I remember it clearly as I couldn't move or breath and felt as if was passing out and a lot of movement around me. I woke in the infirm a few days later and couldn't talk another like week think was but I slowly recovered. Some hares from the long patrol were visiting and...was by the fire pit area and...well they likely saved my life being there when they were”

Oz frowns "There was one before him...Quickclaw but that was way before I was around here."

Zolmon blinks at the taste and Oz speaking "Grandpa knew of a Quickclaw....and...this mixture is....ok, maybe less sour"

Karth listens closely "Then its good you didn't die....but why poison you, were they after dibbuns?"

Angela nods and turns back to the counter, pulling herbs and stuff down. "Thank ye, Zolomon. Y'go an' talk to them. If I need ya, I'll 'oller agin." Blisa pulls a small journal and a charcoal pencil out of her messenger bag, and starts taking notes on a blank page. "Blackfur, Quickclaw, Black Rose....did your Grandfather tell you anything, Zolomon?" She glances up at him.

Oz says, "No he was after the Champion, he wanted to  capture the champion and did....and Blackfur saw me as a threat, also I...fought him on the road a few days before that. I was not always blind, that came seasons later"

Zolomon walks over "Grandpa......well...mainly what me mom told me, see..grandpa died when I was a small dibbun. He was Jake,,lot knew him"His ears droop "I never got de bally well chance, my mother was Kiara..."

Karth nods as he listens "I should tell sir Xander the Defenders should have a meeting on this, pr maybe wait till more info is gathered" He is curious "Champion at the time?"

Oz nods "The champion that was before Magramba. His name was Flicktail." He frowns."It was Flicktail that Blackfur had captive "

Angela discretely leaves the room, trusting the Novice Healers for now. Blisa's eyes unfocus. "Kiara.....oh....oh.....excuse me...I...I think I knew her.....excuse me...." and she leaves, to, except in a hurry as the memories of when they were captives of Stormfeather invade her mind.

Oz frowns, "Blisa?" He sighs and knows he can't follow her and hopes she is ok.

Zolomon just frowns and sits down.”Did..did she know my mom some how?”

Karth watches her head out "Is she ok?"

Oz frowns “I am unsure, and sort of knew your mother. Your mother was captive of this fox named Stormfeather. She disappeared after he..after he dragged her out of the cell and said we would never see her again, when he captured her she was the only one that survived an attack on a long Patrol group of like around  20 hares, Stormfeather most likely kept her alive for questioning.”

Karth frowns “I do hope the chieftain is ok, perhaps I can look up some important information in the records for her, or give info to their Head Guard Vojin as he will want to know of all this as well.”

Zolomon nods slowly and then “Yes...info..the recorder logs let's go Karth!” He goes to basically pull the otter into the hallway and towards the library, “Later Ozzy! Get some sleep and eat your veggies!!”

Oz just shakes his head but sleep would be good.

RW Abbey: Library
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The library has never looked better in seasons as shelves have been repaired and so have tables and chairs. The once empty sleeves now have more books in them and not only that the books are in an ABC order and arranged by subject to better find what one is looking for. The beautifully crafted windows are well cleaned. This gives the library plenty of light during the daylight hours. The room has a high vaulted ceiling. The flagstones of the floor are cool and smooth, and echoes are sometimes heard when beasts walk. Brass lamps containing short, fat little white candles provide enough light for reading. Some books are still being mended but being working on getting on the shelves. The backroom is even very clean and organized as well. Books were found in the attic and some from Ferravale were added that the Ferravale beast had maybe two copies of something so gave Redwall one of the copies for the Redwall library, all in all a lot of hard work has done wonders for the library. On an Oakwood desk is the charter laying inside a clear glass case for all to see. The glass case keeps it safe and clean. Some other chairs large and small, wooden and soft, have been placed in varies places in the library and a pile of covers and blankets sit in one corner with a few pillows as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Karth grumbles and would kick the hare, but he resits the urge to and shoves him slightly.

Zolomon blinks as he is shoved and goes to look over some logs, it's a good thing they are well organized and that he has an idea when his mother came back to the abbey, along with the time Stormfeather was around as he finds a log and opens it after he gets it out “ My mother Kiara was away awhile, came back ta the abbey right after joining the jolly Long Patrol...her first mission, her whole group, well almost, was killed by the fox and some ravens and crows. Thar was another survivor..a Feanor . But neither knew each other survived till later and no he bally well wasn't me dad.” He frowns “Me dad left one day and didn't come back..mom sort of wandered around and one day got sick and..and died, so I came to Redwall and ended up joining up with the Mossflower Defenders...guess I thought the LP was a bit..too much, even if mom and Grandpa joined up and even had an Uncle Bastien that joined up..left fer a while and then went back, he died in that battle with....well, that's the past”

Karth folds his arms as the hare goes on and on and on and hmmphs “We are looking for info on the Black Rose, or Quickclaw maybe..Blackfur not on your parents and their friends past!”

The otter gets a shhhhhhhh from a now slightly annoyed Mouse maid in the robes of an Abbey Sister, a voice is heard from the book binding room “Its Ok Sister Clover, I can handle it” And out steps Brother Gorvenalus.”Do you two need help?”

Zolomon frowns “But my past is bally well important too..and...and I had no blooming clue how ta find that info, tis not like she was ever attacked by the Black Rose..Grandpa may have been and may of fought Quickclaw when he was young and later Blackfur but I have...tis not like he is around now is it!” Ok he may cry so he just takes a deep breath and exits “Bally well excuse me chaps....” And he leaves.

Karth frowns, feeling a little upset now for upsetting the hare and sighs, he glaces at Gorvenalus and nods “Yes, the recorder logs have info on some group called The Black Rose, and former leaders like Blackfur and the one before that Quickclaw, seems Quickclaw was father to Blackfur and Oz knows some of Blackfur...I know not whom knows of Quickclaw if that was, well before Oz's time here that was confirmed. It seems a former guard named Jake..Zololom's grandfather it seems knew of Quicklcaw maybe but as he said, Jake died and I know speaking with Oz Quickclaw and Blackfur are dead but it seems Blackfur had a possible daughter whom may now be running what is left of the Black Rose and has likely gotten new members also.”

Gorvenalus takes all this in and nods as he looks at what Zolomon had and places both logs back in place.”This may take a little while to find.”He frowns “I need you to ask Oz and maybe some others when the Black Rose was in Mossflower before as that will help a lot on finding a log...in all this, as well as some are in the gatehouse like...older ones, the abbot may even had a small amount.”

Karth nods “Of course as it would take weeks to look at ever log in here. Yes I will speak with Oz more and maybe the abbot, though I have reason to believe Lorimis was abbot then, but Benar may pf been Brother then so he may know or...some of the elders.”

Gorvenalus nods “Yes..details may not be there but dates and seasons yes, that are easier to look up as logs are placed in order of the seasons, it may still take a little while but not as long if we know about how far back to go.”

Karth again nods “Sounds good, I will try and find some idea of how many seasons back, I will return when I can.” He then heads off not knowing how long this will take, an hour or maybe even a day or two.

Pike is sitting here in the great hall, he has a knapsack by his chair and he looks like he is depressed somewhat, he stirs his oatmeal as he takes a few last bites and drinks his water.

DoraRose enters from the kitchen carrying a large bucket. She smiles upon seeing Pike and walks over to where he is. She dumps the contents of the bucket on the table -- they are kitchen knives. Sitting down, she picks up a sharpener an a paring knife and begins to sharpen it, the soft 'shk-shk' filling the air. "And how are you this day, Sir Pike?"

Pike watches her and sighs, "Not too good, but sure will cheer up soon, gonna go help Lorimis and that Dazzlwe out few days in Ferravale needa get me mind off recent events."

DoraRose never looks away from her task. "What are you trying to forget?" she asks gently, her skilled paws setting the paring knife in the bucket and picking up a chefs knife.

Pike frowns, "Me best friend died couple days ago, and I have very few real good friends ta begin with."

DoraRose nods slowly, and for a few minutes only the sound of sharpener on knife can be heard. "I understand... When I started to follow the fox, I was alone. But many beasts have offered to help me, and I think they will for you, too." She pauses, then adds "Would you mind telling me your friends name?"

Pike nods, he isnt crying but its clear he was ealier probally..."Jake, he was a hare..use ta be a gaurd here couple seasons ago, he has left and came back from that..ummm fire Mt place think it was.Benar said...one of the other novice found Jkae..well he was dead, when he didnt come down for breakfast guess they checked on him."

DoraRose jumps as the hares' name was said. Her paws drop to the table as she looks at Pike, deep sorrow etched on her face. "Oh, no..."

Pike nods, he stands and grabs his knapsack "I..should go, I will be in Ferravale few days if ya be needing me or if Flicktail and Benar asks where I..went" He slowly walks off and to the entry.

Ok that is  all...

===In Cavern Hole of Redewall Abbey====

===Happen right after this one.....well close to the end an hour or so before Dinner time.......  http://forum.rwmuck.org/viewtopic.php?id=650  =====

Karth is in a good mood, ok rare for Karth as he been so moody this past week it's gotten to a lot of beasts. He is..sweeping best he can and helping out around the room.

Xander right away is a little worried "Should I...be worried or did something happen that I missed...good I hope?"

Karth smiles "Good..excellent yes...Hot root, least some...is here. A mission complete indeed."Wait Xander is back as he clears his throat "Sir your back, is all well?"

Xander nods "I was...just out looking for Uncle Oz...he never returned from some...quiet time and it seems it was quiet time in the clearing not too far from here but I had a scout from Defenders check and he wasn't there so I got my blade and some light armor and....went to look for him"

Karth is alert "Is he in danger? Did you come back to get help, I will help broken toe or not"

Xander nods "He is fine. Under Oz is fine and I found him...he was..well" He doesn't sound like it was something dangerous but...unsure sounding."And I am glad they have some hot root now The feast is in a little under 2 weeks after all"

Karth watches "Why the look, was there danger...and was Ace found?"

Xander says, "No ace is still missing and Uncle Oz was in no danger...Bandit maybe but he got out of danger, then again Uncle Oz had them distracted and..I helped some too.""

Karth is just confused but nods "Bandit...the fat fox? He most likely got himself in trouble and how did Oz help with this....problem, you said he was in no danger and yet..Bandit was there too and was in trouble and.. a distraction?"

Xander says, "Ok there was...3 wolverines and...maybe the wolverines didn't like Bandit...and well Uncle Oz knew them somehow and was having tea with the 3 wolverines and like laughing and chatting with them in the woods a little northeast of the abbey""

Karth blinks "Tea with wolverines?...Those beasts are dangerous does he not know that, did he maybe think they were some other type of beast?"

Xander says, "He knew they were wolverines Karth...he..helped the guess mother one like long time ago and the other two were her daughters and they wanted to slay me and Uncle Oz told them no and told me to not attack them and...then I made them dinner, well the wolverines dinner since Bandit got away...they were gonna eat Bandit, the wolverines was not Uncle Oz all Uncle Oz was doing was...drinking tea and like laughing at a joke or something like they were buddies. I have no clue where Bandit went he...ran off""

Karth says, "That sounds....strange and most likely a fat fox got very little distance, he most likely got re caught and ate by the wolverines by now.....and tea?""

Xander says, "Yes tea..it was the strangest thing I ever seen....my uncle having tea with wolverines and these were like....smart wolverines walking and talking and....seemed like normal beasts they were just wolverines..well odd outfit choices but..they talked. The only other time I seen a wolverine it was savage and clearly meant to be a pet..Quade's and he called it Fluffy. It was told to ....kill me and it chased me and ended up falling into thin ice..I barely avoided falling into thin ice...well Fluffy drowned and Quade was so peeved off.""

Karth laughs now "Fluffy....that's funny...Well..." He sniffs and then speaks as he smiles "I am glad you were safe sir or well got away...as for the recent wolverines...well good for them and good Oz knew them, he stayed safe that way and you made them lunch and not your uncle...let me guess...wood pidgion?"

Xander mouth drops and then he nods "I...how did...he..."He frowns "Its..." Great his secret is out.

Karth says, "No worries sir..I saw you make it for Greystone and I think you did a 2nd time...it is fine and I wont tell any beast of it. Its a good skill to get from certain sicherations and something to be respected of in a way""

Xander sighs as he sits "Respected? How...and thanks its not that I want that many to know, its from my past...heck some of my skills are from my past and I keep some of it, as well as what little learned from Uncle Zee and Marek "

Karth sits down beside him "Your not perfect sir...no beast is. You have some to learn but what you know at your age is...well past what most know in mind as well as combat. Your a very skilled fighter and have good leadership skills. You also ask advice and accept help when needed. Also very few vermin respect a badger....and they , well most , respect you in Ferravale I have seen and I never meet this Zee Winters just heard of him. Marek I do know of..somewhat, he is tavern owner and like ambassador correct?"

Xander nods "Yes ambassador of Ferravale and he helped built the tavern in fact cause he...sort of blow up the fist one"

Karth asks, "Why did Marek blow up the first tavern?"

Xander shrugs "I don't know....he was not always a friend like he is now to beasts...he was not always on the side of good, he even took over Redwall Abbey a little while and killed like a bunch of long patrol hares and other beasts, but then something made him like...on the good side and...yeah he is good now"

Karth says, "Marek past sounds.....complicated....I will read some logs maybe of him""

Xander nods "He..isn't allowed in the abbey....unless its a feast and think Benar still has to ok that or if he like has to speak to Benar maybe then he can come in, once he was in the infirm like couple days cause he was hurt, don't think Benar liked that but...well he just made beasts stare at Marek and keep him out of trouble not that Marek wanted trouble and nothing happen...Marek even helped find Lilymoore when she went missing in that Thunderstorm"

Karth says, "Yes I remember the storm"

Xander says, "I...dislike storms....."Yes lets make this true to his word as a loud thunder clap and ya spring storm as the badger frowns.

Karth nods and notes the look "Sir?"

Xander gulps "As I was saying"And hard rain...thunder and lighting as he eeps and falls backwards in the chair and breaths in and out. Yes he fears storms

Karth watches, yes he could care less with a sudden spring storm as beasts rush in, lucky not this room, the otter speaks again "Sir...Xander?"

Xander is clearly afraid, of a storm of all things as he finally focuses on the otter and looks away quickly as if ashamed for this, he is a warrior!......Wait nope not right now he is not!..."GO...GO away Karth..please......d..d...don't stay...right now..."

Karth sits beside him "Your my leader and I help you, why go away?"

Xander looks at the floor "Cause....I...this is....afraid of a storm? Like a dibbun.....its....."

Karth nods "A fear...all beast have a fear."He looks around as he whispers "Ants...I fear ants....those tiny little crawling....." He shakes his head "You learn to...slap fear in the face, there was a storm when Lilymoore was missing yet you were in that to find her yes?"

Xander nods "I..looked, best I could and for Dorarose also..at the time I just found Dorarose and we then found Blisa and stayed there...Lilymoore was later found by Marek."

Karth says, "Still you went out despite a fear....you braved it and that was out in it, this is inside"

Xander sniffs "I..I know..I dislike storms cause...I was on a ship...and that was the day I lost my parents and ended up on the westerns shore...with gulls who tried to kill me. Sister Zinnia and a couple LP hares saved my life and took me to Salamandatron and I came back here with Sister Zinnia....it was a like a season later I...was taken captive by a wildcat...maybe couple seasons later I don't remember...he wildcat though my fear was funny"

Karth nods as he listens"I..as said..fear ants....my reason is I fell into some pit, now these ants were red and black and bite...the bites burned and I almost died. My mother saved me...but lost her own life....my father raised me till I decided to hunt down a fox that invaded my Holt...it was shortly after that I met the defenders and joined"

Xander nods "The ants here are...black but yeah I can...see why you would fear them still" The rain storm has slowed to more of a shower.

Karth says, "And I understand the fear of storms....some fears never go away, maybe a little but not all the easy. My advise is use it...try to overcome it if you can, if not...try to use the energy towards something else, like you used energy of fear during the last storm to stay alert and find Dorarose, even if another found Lilymoore you most likely had an idea a direction at least""

Xander nods "Yeahh\...I did...thanks Karth your a good friend and i will keep your fear to myself....ok?"

Karth nods "And I will keep yours to myself as well."He offers a smile "Your a good leader....as I said. You been through a lot it seems but you have been made stronger cause of it."

Xander smiles as he rubs his eyes."Yeah....stronger."He sighs a little "I wonder if my grandfather had any fears, he was a great warrior so I heard before he became Blacksmith...he was the one whom wielded The Northwind Storms before I did. Uncle Zee just keep it safe"

Karth says, "My guess is yes..what happen to your grandfather?"

Xander says, "He died of some...something happen to his heart I think suddenly and he died in the orchards, my mother seen it happen and..freaked out for a while..my Uncle Oz found out a couple hours later cause he had the dibbuns on a picnic at the time.""

Karth nods "He most likely was a great warrior then, and a blacksmith....he must of been strong as well"

Xander smiles "He was...."

The bells sound off...its dinner time!

Karth grins..."Dinner....shall we....get food sir?" His mind...Hot Root...Hot Root....Hot Root!

Xander smiles as he nods "Yeah...."

Karth smiles, he makes sure he and his leader is first, course....sorry Xander...Karth gets the first bowl of Hot root...what he has waited over a FREAKING SEASON! So...yeah...he gets first bowl!!! Its enjoyed, its savored, its...heaven in a bowl!

Gorvenalus has been busy in the library, then he was away a little while. He and others been back maybe a week as he puts away a book he recently fixed and then goes to sit in a chair to open a journal he has. He smiles slightly at some entry there.

Benar pushes open the door to the library and walks in. The abbot has mostly been busy with Spring planting, preparing the orchard and other such every day items of life in the abbey that tend to take up his time. "Gorvenalus, there you are," He shuts the door and walks toward the beaver, "I've been meaning to drop in and say hello but I've been a bit busy."

Gorvenalus looks up and smiles as he closes the journal and smiles "Hello Benar, it is good to see you I was just doing Spring Cleaning. Sorry for being away I had told a novice to let you know I would be away but I am back now. A bit of a..trip, at first to find something lost" He smiles "Only to be greeted with something much better"

Benar folds his arms into his robes, "Yes... I finally got told but not by any Novice i am afraid. Still welcome home."

Karth has been moody the past couple days, he finds the abbot and Gorvenalus talking and steps towards them, he clears his throat and waits, "Sir?"

Gorvenalus frowns "Well they should of told you but no fear, no danger happen on the trip. In fact what I thought should of been ruins....was far from ruins, yes only 15 out of..."He frowns "Many....but there were survivors in my old home of Willowbark and they were in the process of rebuilding. They are doing very well for what all happen there...I was offered a chance to say but...my home is here, at Redwall abbey as Recorder." He nods a hello to Karth"Greetings Karth...how are you?"

Benar drums his fingers, "I would still rather be told, in person, if the Recorder and half the Abbey's defense forces are going to trot off across the country for weeks at a time Gorvenalus. I had no idea where anyone had gone and was worried sick... it was... irresponsible of beasts not to tell me in person. Messages go astray, or don't get delivered... anyway," He smiles, "No harm done and I am very glad for the good news that Willowbark is rising once again from the ashes." He then looks at the otter and smiles. "Hello there how can I help?"

Karth shrugs "Maybe...your abbey is still in crisis..." Wait..what now?.."Your out of hot root still and have been a week." Well to him this IS a crisis. He frowns "We need to fix it soon." He would go off himself yes but there is the broken toe, his own fault of course.

Gorvenalus nods, "I can update you on more details later but yes all is safe and no dangers happen which is good....all...well almost all is back, Minsc did stay as well as Flea, then Minsc was thier knight..sort of like the champion here. Also Flametail and Varsha call Willowbark home now. They are safe no worries as  all is well" He glaces at Karth, oh yes the hot root he has heard of it being a bit...well needed.

Benar inclines his head to Gorvenalus and smiles, "I am just glad everyone is home. But do need to have a talk with the Defenders. It just... isn't on for those who are meant to be helping guard the abbey to just run off because there is a whiff of adventure." He then turns to stare at Karth, "Yes I am aware we are out of hot root, there is a hot root patch in the herb garden. Once it finishes growing the late spring crop will be harvested. But I am not sending an expedition or spending Abbey funds on buying Hot root Karth."

Karth tenses up a little, then relaxes a little "But...sir.."He snorts a little defeated and nods "Yes sir...it can wait." As Mossflower Defenders is mentioned he is curious as he speaks "Not all of the Defenders left sir...just 2-3..with a couple other beasts from Ferravale area"

Gorvenalus decides to offer an idea "Perhaps....me or another can get a very small amount of hot root or perhaps the Tavern in Ferravale has some, or...The Defenders Base even, Chestnut would know for the base though as he is the cook there"

Benar looks at Gorvenalus, "I am still of two minds about the Defenders... they call themselves Defenders but they seem... intent on seeking out trouble and adventure and it worries me. All those young beasts rushing hither and then seeking out trouble... " He leans back in his chair, "And sorry Karth, but the fact we are out of hot root is just a fact of life. We can only use the vegetables and spices we can grow. The spice market is a long way for me to send members of the order for just one spice."

Karth grumbles, "Not that trouble is or was around...." He is trying yes to stay calm, but its sometimes hard when the otter is in one of his moods. He finally nods as this is the abbot and he can

Gorvenalus watches the otter and sighs, he focuses on Benar and offers a smile "It is ok my friend, relax. Maybe a meeting with Xander in your office one day, he is leader after all."He nods to Karth "Yes no trouble was around and that is good, but there could of been is all Benar was saying and Hot root can wait, it will be ready soon no worries"

Benar leans back in his chair and frowns, "Xander should know better... still no one in the order has asked to join the Defenders so I am content with that. Their purpose really doesn't mesh with the Abbey Charter now let's talk about Hot Root." The abbot looks at Karth and pulls his glasses down, "There is one thing that may help, my secret, super emergency hot root supply. I've put it someplace no one can get to. If there where any nice otters around I may be inclined to get it out of storage but it won't be easy and I'll need someone to help, someone not afraid of heights."

Karth snorts "Can wait?!" He stands only to tumble backwards again into the soft chair. He takes a deep breath and mutters, he then looks at Benar, most likely not the best beast to lose his temper in front of as he waits to speak, he listens which helps calm him as he then speaks "Hidden?" He is curious "But how much?...I mean could always limit it....to just me....or a limited few till this other hot root in the abbey finishes growing all the way"

Gorvenalus starts to ask the otter to calm down, but sees at least he is trying and for now is silent, he smiles "It is said good things come to those whom wait correct?"

Benar raises a brow at Karth's not so subtle suggestion that he should be the only one to be given hot root, "Now Karth, this is Redwall Abbey, we share all here. If I do open my special supply then it needs to be shared with everyone."

Karth drums his fingers on the chair and then speaks "Alright....and..I suppose I could help replace it afterwards, in case of any other cases such as this"

Gorvenalus smiles "Sharing is good after all Karth"

Benar asks, "Well Gorvenalus, Karth, do you wish to accompany me to my secret spice store?"

Karth nods after a short while "Yes...I will help you, it is a good mission to do and help with to solve this crisis"

Gorvenalus chuckles a little, least its a crisis of hot root and not vermin.

Benar stands up and shakes out his habit, "But let me make this clear Karth, if you ever run in on me again declaring the Abbey is in crisis over hot root... I'll send you to the kitchens to work in the scullery for Lacota for a season."

Karth blinks as he looks at the abbot as if trying to figure out if he is joking or not. He chooses to be wise and nods in understanding.

Gorvenalus just stays off to he side quietly, he waits to see where they go and what happens.

=== They go to the Attic, and Rafters...and...well...yeah it's..different!!====

Benar leads the way out of the library and up to the very top of the main building. He pulls open the door to the attack and leads the duo up into the gloomy expanse of the attic, "Well here we are, the start of this journey," He grins at his friends, "you sure you want to continue with me to the secret spice?"

Karth looks around "Its the attic it seems...and it seems rarely a beast even goes into this place."

Gorvenalus coughs a little, "It could use some dusting, maybe a spring cleaning job for friends."He half jokes here, "But some hot root would be nice for those who like it and to have it replaced afterwards is also a nice thing to do I do believe"

Benar leads the way out through the gap, stepping into the light and then steps sideways gently and confidently across the ledge to let you two move out onto the upper ledge. You can see down across the hall, bathed in light as it is, "Here we are, the second step on the way up"

Karth is careful here, least its only his toe that's broken, but he is still careful and the toe is healing good so he is fine."Ok...interesting"

Gorvenalus moves very carefully as well, he nods in agreement "Well it is for sure...safe here"

Benar chuckles softly, "It is indeed safe, especially considering it is up there," He points up toward the rafters, "Now I suggest you two stay down here whilst I climb up"

Karth glaces up and nods "I..trust your skilled for this where I would not be."

Gorvenalus hmmms "A most interesting place to keep something and he is a squirrel so he most likely will be fine and of smaller size as well"

Benar scampers off up the wall, the squirrel moving swiftly, yet carefully, climbing his way upwards out of sight. He is gone for about five minutes before he returns with a large pouch hanging around his neck.

Karth watches the abbot and seems impressed with the skill "He would make a good Defender with this skill"

Gorvenalus smiles "Maybe but the group is not for all Karth. Maybe he can help with advice as I will at times"

Karth sighs and nods,"I..suppose...I do wish Flea was still around but he choose to stay there in Willowbark."

Benar folds his arms into his sleeves "I also have very good hearing, I am the Abbot of Redwall Abbey, I am not and never will be a Defender. I gave up my bow and turned my sword into tools for the Kiln when I joined the order. I swore on the Charter to uphold it, to live by it and to follow it all my days. The charter of the Order of Redwall and the Defenders creed to not match." He frowns at Gorvenalus, "I'm also not entirely sure it is suitable for our recorder to be a member, or our gatekeeper but as long as it does not interfere with peoples duties I don't interfere."

Gorvenalus smiles"He will be fine in Willowbark..Trifakus will keep an eye on him. Which reminds me....a possible trading or treaty with Willowbark to be friends of Redwall and more friends is always nice to have". He nods to Benar "I am not a member, but I am a friend to the Defenders and have helped with advice a couple times. I am not a fighter, never have been. And my duties will always be to my Recorder job here not to worry Abbot Benar"

Karth frowns, great he was overheard as he nods "Understandable.....but you do have very good skills and speed...and bravery to do what you just did, very few would do such a task...so high up and narrowness of some areas as well."

Benar places a hand on Gorvenalus' arm, "I am glad to hear it," He looks at Karth, "Sorry to sound so defensive, but the first time the defenders. The beast who lay siege to the abbey and killed numerous beasts was leading it. I barely permit Marek inside the Abbey at feast time so I am afraid it still has a pall of distrust in my mind." He then looks up and smiles, "And pffft this is nothing to a squirrel, why I could think of ooooh at least six other squirrels who'd climb up there."

Gorvenalus nods "I only know of what I have read on Marek, spoke to him a couple times in Ferravale"

Karth nods "True...and trees, though I know of a tree climbing badger...but he would not...would not be wise for him to try this I don't think"

Benar chuckles and holds up the leather pouch, "Now here, is the last of my hot root supply. The good stuff, a gift from the Skipper of Camp Willow last time they where visiting," He grins, "I think I could bring myself to donate it so there is Hot root Soup for dinner tonight"

Gorvenalus smiles "Hot root is ok at times, those who like it will surely welcome it and more can most likely be gotten before the Spring feast so there is plenty as well as....a new supply for you Benar."

Karth nods "I will make it my mission to not tell where your hidden supply was and I can make sure your special supply is...replaced, that or invite skipper to the upcoming feast"

Benar chuckles softly and moves back toward the gap in the wall, "That is ok Karth, even if someone manages to get up there ,they'll have a hard time finding exactly where I keep things. But I appreciate it being replaced. Now then shall we get down from here?"

Gorvenalus nods "That is wise as staying up here all day is not best."

Karth nods "Down is good yes and...I am sorry for losing my temper earlier...sir abbot. My temper does get the best of me...even my leader at times....is annoyed at me"

Benar moves back through the gap into the attic and pauses there, waiting for the others to move in too, "As for the Spring Feast I have set a date."

Gorvenalus nods "I can have it written down, I have also managed to catch up on anything missed from my trip, as well as some notes written down from my trip...the logs are up to date"

Karth slowly follows them down and nods " Feasts here are always nice and sometimes many come"

Benar says, "Next Thursday, the 26th is the date I think I picked, if the weather holds nice we might even put a pavilion up outside in on the lawn""

Gorvenalus says, "The weather is slowly getting warmer, there was a storm a week ago but those are not....well too often anyways."

Karth says, "Thunderstorms are a part of spring at times...sadly"

Benar says, "You've not been in Mossflower for long," He chuckles, "Mossflower is famous for its thunderstorms""

Gorvenalus says, "Well as long as one is not caught in one, storms do bring the rain for crops and things to grow after all""

Karth says, "I am fine in a storm....I helped a boat in a storm and wind too."

Benar says, "You should try a storm at the top of the bell tower sometime, or Floret castle.""

Gorvenalus says, "I never heard of Florest Castle before, hmmms I will need to look it up and learn of it"

Karth shrugs "Maybe but I would advise not to be in the bell tower during a real bad storm. That and it could be loud if the wind is bad"

Benar says, "Oh you should try standing on the roof, clinging to the cornice, wind and rain blowing through your fur it is a fantastic experience.""

Gorvenalus frowns but says nothing, "There was storms at Willowbark......but not real bad ones too often, it was more of an island than a large area of land"

Karth says, "sounds interesting but not something I would see me facing...we should get the hot root to where it can be added to Hot root stew or...well some of it anyways, so that it can last""

Benar laughs warmly and starts for the stairs, "Well then down we go, time to get this spice to the Friar and see what he can do for it."

Gorvenalus smiles "Friar Lacota is very good with cooking I am sure he can make some very good Hot root stew or soup"

Karth smiles with the idea, yes he has missed Hot root but he will wait, best he can he will wait

Benar heads down the stairs toward the kitchens, leading the way down

Gorvenalus smiles as he follows to the kitchens, stopping once to speak to a novice.

Karth will help make sure the hot root makes it safe to the kitchens, he makes his mission to make sure  the friar knows the is Hot Root...yes to share not just for a certain otter, he will wait...hopefully not to long...for a bowl of delicious Hot Root Stew and he is extra nice, even offering to sweep while its made, to help place table setting for the WHOLE CAVERN HOLE....yes extra nice so he can get that very...first...delicious...bowl of HOT ROOT STEW!!!!!! And he will enjoy and savor every single bite!!!!

******* I don't normally do this sort of thing but thought..what the heck, it would be fun and no one had any good IC ideas at the time so Here is an OOC role play. Set in 2018...image if you would Redwall set in 2018, may or may not be cool...enjoy. And this was fun OOC ONLY!!!!  *******

who:

Karth Riverbark-Me

Xander Winters

Patch

Anatole

Tassel

Some spoofed guests!

~ ~ ~OOC LOG~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Karth sipped his Starbucks Coffee drink at the table as he read The Mossflower Times. His drink a nice Cappuccino  with a nice whole wheat muffin.

Patch came over and sat close by “Hello, mine if I sit down...good” He himself had a refresher,a Strawberry Acai in fact, with just a little ice.

Karth snorted “Did I say I wanted YOUR company Patch, why are you here I figured you were at the tavern helping Marek.”

Patch grins “Its me lunch hour and I don't think Marek likes Starbucks, figured they would manage to get one in Ferravale. Redwall has one in fact....wait no...it has 2.” He takes a long sip of his drink and grins.

Xander wanders inside, leaving his weapons at the front with a weasel guard as this place didn't allow weapons inside, safety reasons. Upon seeing the others he ordered a simple green  tea and went to sit down “Hey guys. So any news to share? Anything the Mossflower Defenders need to tend to?”

Karth sips his coffee “Yes Redwall is in crisis. There is no Hot Root and we need to fix that. Otters all over will revolt and never want to go to the abbey again. Camp Willow will end it's peace treaty. Something needs done and fast before its too late”

Patch looks between them “No hot root? That's bad...well Abbot Benar is doomed.” He starts to stand and walk away.

Xander goes to grab the rat by the tail “No way Your helping us with this...now” He looks to Karth...”Gather the Defenders”

They soon gathered, or least those who were found to help.

Anatole nods “I am ready, so we do this now before dinner?”

Tassel smiles “I am helping to. We need to find out why the abbey has no hot root. In fact why NO ONE seems to have any, something is wrong, someone wants war”

Zolomon nods in agreement “Yes hot root is good even non otter types jolly well like it”

Karth adjusts his longbow, “So..where do we start?”

Xander comes inside and nods, “So some was found out...”

Patch waves “Ok...thar is this ferret calls himself the Hot Root Bandit, he has stolen all the hot root in Mossflower and...whats to tax it, up the prices so high only the few rich beasts can even hope to buy it. There is a feast soon at Redwall  and it needs Hot Root as Camp Willow and other otters will expect it. Also Blisa may be in danger from this as well....as vermin in Ferravale like Hot Root also and...well not like Marek can handle everything, not sure he likes Hot Root but hey it's in some Tavern Food so it effects him too”

Karth nods “Then it's agreed..lets stop this Hot Root Bandit beast and save the day!”

Later a little ways up the road, crates and crates of Hot Root was by a a wagon, that held even more Hot Root and merchants tied up that sold it. A ferret was nearby in silk robes and seemed to be the one who was the cause of all the otters woes. “I am Captain Choas! I am the Hot Root king of Mossflower and soon...the world!!!!”

Zolomon aimed a longbow “Yeah...you and what army chap?”

Xander remained alert and careful”Careful Zolomon.”

Karth was prepared to fight and waited for directions.

Anatole just arched an eyebrow “Thar be like one of him, we can do this right my friends?”

Tassel seemed a little worried “Dear....I don't know, maybe we should just go home and watch come Netflix?”

Captain Choas laughed his evil laugh and snapped his fingers, And sudden a small army of....cute kittens came out and just sat there and if that wasn't enough they were so so fuzzy! Also while they were distracted by cute kittens, with those cute large eyes. Then a lot of birds attacked with the power of poop from above!

Xander frowned and then side steped and looked to his team “What do we do now?”

Zolomon gasped as...it was too late the poop got him and he fell over twitching and in need of a bath!

Anatole got out a large tarp and helped save the day.

Tassel snorted, ok enough was enough as she looked around and then got out a cell phone and looked up something and smiled as she dialed a number.

Karth looked at her “Your making a phone call at a time like this! Are you insane women?”

Captain Choas evil laughed filled the air......”I Have Won!!”

Then something worse...far worse came down the road in a golf card and parked in between the ferret and his cute kittens and birds and the Heroes, and she cleared her throat and looked at the ferret “How many times have I told you boy...your grounded now give these nice beasts all the hot root back.”

Zolomon allowed the help and blinked as he looked at the ferret and...who was that other beast?

Karth was ready, just in case and then he blinked as well, wait was this mysterious beast on their side?

It was a ferret and she garbed him by other ferret by the ear, who whined “OK ok mommy....” He pointed and walked away to a nearby den. The birds decided to fly off and the cute kittens just played with some nearby leaves. The mother ferret nooded “Take the hot root, he doesn't need it.....he just didn't want others to have it .”

Xander nodded his thanks and smiled “Lets go guys!”

And the day was saved for one and all. Hot Root was back in Mossflower and just in time for a Redwall Feast! Also in honor of the heroic day Starbucks invented some new Hot Root Flavored drinks for one and all!!

**** As I said this was OOC ONLY …..but if Redwall was set in 2018...I could SO  see at least two Starbucks in it somewhere and one outside on the dirt road:) ******

Karth Riverbark-Me-Archer in Mossflower Defenders

Atvi-Me- Dibbun Vole

Kenya-Dibbun Sea Otter

A couple spoofed beasts...

~~~LOG~~~~

Karth stared at the wall and then slowly shook his head. He was stuck in the infirm and it was not cause of some wound he had, he had to help the old mouse maid. But his plan was to not stay...I mean old beasts get tried easy right and she would fall asleep or just leave and that was his chance to leave the dreaded infirm.

Atvi was in the open ground, he had found puddles and was jumping in them.

Kenya wandered around also, which was not so great when it was clearly late, or maybe just too early in the morning.

Karth slipped out slowly and down the steps and onto the grounds. His plan to cross them and leave the abbey, he worn a borrowed hooded cloak from one of the healer helpers, an otter and they would find their hooded cloak gone come morning's light. He smiled as his plan worked good and he crossed the grounds and went to get his long bow and arrows.

Atvi spotted him and went to follow the sea otter, “Where ya going? Why you leaving infirm? The infirm guard gonna gets ya and make you eat broccoli”

Kenya also was curious and walked up to him and smiled “Hi ya” She was so cute! And an otter also so who could resit her charm, she looked at the vole “Broccoli is good...yummy”

Karth took a deep breath and then looked at the dibbuns “Should you two not be with the caretaker?”

Atvi shrugged “He not know we sneaks out...wanted to play in puddles from the rain.” He then looked at the dibbun otter as if she was insane, that broccoli stuff was evil...evil little tree looking food that should be banned from even being created.

Kenya just smiles at Karth”Where going...cans I come? Me find mama and dada they no come backs yet.....maybe they gets lost in rain”

Karth snorts “No” He says firmly and then just walks off. The guard at the gate was asleep, yep they should so be fired. The sea otter just shook his head and then steped onto the path by the abbey.

Atvi followed and looked at the guard, then Karth”I come with you or I tell on you”

Kenya just was following them, she frowns “We gonna gets in trouble for being outsside”

Karth sighs as he looks at the two young ones “Go...home” In a firm voice and walks along the walls and to the woods.

Atvi sniffs and yells “You is a meanie otter!!”

Kenya starts crying now and holds close a little stuffed otter toy doll she has.

Karth turns and grumbles to himself, why...why follow him, “Inside before something gets you” He says quietly and then again walks off, yep let's just walk away from the dibbuns and trust they will listen.

Yeah right, dibbuns listen? Since when at a time like this as the vole runs up and goes to kick the otter in the leg and hmmphs.

Kenya rather not be alone and runs after them to catch up and trips in the mud and whimpers. Her doll is covered in mud, as is she as she sniffs. “Mama...mama dada!”

Karth snorts as his leg is kicked and goes to pick the dibbun vole up and look him in the face “Stop.....great what now?” He hears the other dibbuns wails and walks back holding the vole at arm's length.

Atvi kicks and wiggles around “Let me go...you is mean..I hate you!!!”

Kenya is in tears and her ankle is now swollen, she has mud all over and her doll is covered in mud as well....and oh no its arm is tearing off a little from the fall and from her pulling it off a twig it was tangled in” Molly gonna dies!!!!!!!!” She holds out the doll and sniffs “Save her!”

Karth looks at the doll “Its a doll...its not living”

Atvi folds his arms over his chest, grumpy vole.

“She deaded?” Kenya asks and then the wail is louder than before! Great going Karth!

“No..No its not...Its a doll it was never alive...oh good grief!!!!” He sighs and kicks a tree...and then tenses up and frowns, he kicked it rather hard.....and now he has a broken toe and a clear limp. He mutters a couple cuss words.

Atvi looks at him and repeats him “What does.. ******* mean?”

Kenya sniffs and also repeats the word, it sounds funny and she giggles...but still her doll, it needs help, and she remembers and cries again.

Karth frowns, they are repeating the cuss word. He has to think of something as he just sighs and starts to limp back to the gate “Come on...inside.”Its not like they went too far, like..well you can see the abbey and they are soon inside and he makes sure they get inside and great he really needs a healer now.

Atvi just stays beside the sea otter  and again asks what the word means, and again...and a 3nd time.

Kenya giggles, the word sounds funny so lets make a sing song of it as we skip to the infirm.

A infirm helper is awake and looks...well not too happy  “I am waking Anglea now” The helper frowns, that is his cloak the sea otter has and the fact dibbuns are repeating a cuss word, he looks at Karth.

“What...”Karth asks “Not my fault they repeat words”

Atvi points to Karth “He said........” Oh yes a new word, a cuss word...yiipeee!

Kenya smiles, she says the evil dreaded cuss word and then frowns as it seems that's a bad word and then..wailing again

Karth frowns....great the wails will likely wake someone and that stupid infirm beast is waking the one beast he wishes to not see...Anglea...he should so run.

****I would like to say he fails badly if that's ok with Anglea and say she SO heard the cuss word..and can we say he gets in trouble with Oz as well....I heard Oz has 3 hour lectures, that be so interesting for Karth! My sea otter is so doomed!!!!!*****

Tassel Springwaters- Otter in Mossflower Defenders

Krisha Winters- Badger and wife of Xander Winters

Ferro- Blacksmith of Ferravale

Spoofed by Krisha is a badger cub Northstar Winters

~~~LOG~~~

~~STARTS ON ROAD BY ABBEY, GOES TO FERRAVALE AND ENDS IN BLACKSMITH SHOP OF FERRAVALE ~~~
Vojin made it part of his job to visit the abbey every so often and today he did so. The past few weeks had been fairly quiet, not that it was bad it was welcomed but it also made him uneasy as there was the report of the missing Hedgehog and not that it was normally too major, this hedgehog was part of that Mossflower Defenders group so he was here to figure out what was going on.

Zolomon was in the entry and waved  as he game to the road.“Jolly good ta see you Vojin...any news going around of Ace?”

“I am guessing that is the hedgehog's name?” The wildcat asked “Anything else?”

Zolomon frowned “No just his ax was found and he would never go without it and that otter Misu said she saw a hedgehog that looked like him and she confirmed it was the ax the hedgehog she saw dropped so...yep tis Ace she saw and he has been taken by vermin of some sort...”He frowns “Sorry chap no offense to you”

Krisha walked over as she saw the wildcat, in her arms was the badger infant”Hello..ummm if it's not a problem I would like to visit my father, he had sent a letter wanting to see me and Northstar”

Vojin noded and then turns to the badger “Northstar?” He then looked down at the infant and smiles a little, “Oh you have named her, a good name”He looks back to the hare “No worries...a wildcat is a vermin species after all and most vermin species are the bad type, some not as bad as others and some a lot worse”

Zolomon listened and replies “Yeah and I shall help escort Krisha to Ferravale as well, I would not want my best friends mate to come to harm”

Krisha smiled “I am sure I will be fine”

Vojin leads the group up the road and towards Ferravale, keeping an eye on the road at all times.

Anatole was on the road sitting on a fallen tree log just watching some clouds, as he saw the group he stood up.

Tassel was also there, they had been looking for any signs of trouble, but lucky found none, “What...oh”She seen the wildcat and the others “Maybe they have news of Ace, let's go”

Zolomon adjusted his longbow and he made sure he had a good supply of arrows, just in case he needed them this time.

Krisha keep calm as she held the infant close, she was glad the weather was slowly getting warmer, but she still keep the infant wrapped in a soft blanket and held close to her.

Vojin stopped as he saw the otters and nodded a simple hello “Hello to you both.”

Anatole grinned but also signed “We been looking for any other signs of the missing Defender...sadly none, with the melted snow and some rain from last night and the time that has passed nothing was found, but also no trouble today or past couple days either to which is good.”

Tassel walked over to see the baby badger and smiled “Its cute I am glad she is safe and has a mama now, a dibbun without a parent is sad indeed.”

Zolomon frowns at the news “I wish Xandy was here but they should be back soon...I think”

Krisha smiles as she lets Tassel look at the baby badger “Her name is Northstar and yes she has me as a mama and Xander as a dad and Xander and the others should be back soon, there was a letter Marek mentioned from that Rupert that they had started home so my guess is within a week...maybe less. I...I don't know and I miss Xander.”

Vojin nods “Yes that will be good when Xander Winters returns with the others. “He frowns “He will not like the fact a member of his group is missing....as well as other sad news to tell them or rather....not tell them”

Anatole is curious “Why not tell them news if its important?”

Tassel just listens and smiles at the badger cub again making those cooing sounds, she loves dibbuns!”Anatole dear...I want a dibbun of our own one day....maybe soon”

Zolomon sighs “Well we can tell him of Ace being missing but not of Brother L being...being dead unless ya all want to face the wrath of Miss A and Mrs. D....and I sure don't. Only tell are to tell of that news and them alone...trust me its good for all of our health and stuff.” Yes he will not risk Dorarose and Angela wrath and anger, in fact he will purposely stay at the Defender's Headquarters that day if he can and do some training...yeah training is good and he can't accidentally let news slip.

Krisha frowns, she already knows of Leon's death and nods in agreement “Yea she even made Marek promise in person not to send a letter and...we never got one so they don't know till they get home. I found out but from Angela and I won't tell them either...that's Angela and Dorarose job only.”

Vojin nods “Most likely wise advice” He then walks on into Ferravale and to the Blacksmith Shop, but turns to the others”Any other news I need to know?”

Tassel shakes her head “Not at the moment no....I think me and Anatole will....eat lunch in the tavern...” She is not a fan of monitors....even if this one is supposedly on the good side.

Anatole nods “Oh yes lunch, lunch is good!” He is already heading to the tavern, hey he is hungry!

Zolomon blinks, normally food would be good.....but he did say he get her to the lizard's home as he pokes his head into the shop “Hallo?”

Ferro steps in from the back “Yesssssss?” He smiles as he sees Krisha and the cub and walks over.

Vojin is...well use to the monitor, well sort of anyways.

Krisha hugs her father and then goes to let him hold the cub “Hello father...I came to see you”

Zolomon smiles “Well now that you are safe...lunch calls!” And he is off before he is asked to do anything else!

Ferro takes the cub ever so gently and smiles at the cub, which looks a little odd for a monitor and it's odd enough watching him take such great care in holding the cub like it was fine china.”Hello little one...”

Krisha smiles “I named her, her name is Northstar.” She sits down feeling perfectly safe having her father hold the badger cub.

Vojin watches and speaks “If I told any beast I saw a monitor holding a badger cub they would assume the worse and one being...careful”

Ferro looks at the wildcat “Then don't tell beassstsssssss.....you can sssstay if want.” He smiles “Northstar is a pretty name.....hello Northstar I am your grandpa.......” He even chuckles, he is happy as he rocks the cub and softly sings a song he use to sing Krisha, his singing voice is good, not perfect but good...another odd picture that one would call a beast insane if they reported this. Such tender care of the cub, one he would protect with his very life if needed.

Krisha smiles and looks to the wildcat “I am gonna stay here, till Xander is back home. For couple reasons....ok”

Vojin just watches the monitor and then nods to Krisha “Of course I will let the abbey know of this....good day to you both” He slips out quietly to let the beasts have family time.
