WHO:

Zolomon- Sargeant, Runner, Archer, LP Hare

Velm- Lt., Healer, LP hare

LOG:

Zolomon has decided to get some fresh air, though it's a little cold so he has on a cloak to go onto the crater and even catch a view of the shores.   

Velm is already ou here, arms folded and looking out towards the hint of green. He turns when he sees movement from the corner of his eye and nods "Hallo thar Sergeant". He chuckles lightly " Still impressed ya got this far, but still congrats"   

Zolomon blinks and quickly salutes"Sur...and yeah, me too" He smiles as he walks over and stands next to the Lt. "I do remember you, slightly anyways didn't really get ta talk to many sides Tarsa and Ewan, had basic training in over time haha.." He sighs "Then course things got serious with Ormaz and...yeah"   

Velm nods as he looks towards the very faint green line "Yeah...lost a lot of good hares that day, but it could have been worse if the vermin were not stopped. Could have taken over all of Mossflower and destroyed the abbey, I say e got thar in the nick of blooming time...heck even a couple hours or an hour later may have ended in total failure and everyone dead."He shakes his head "Some of my memories have returned..some, still some not thar yet and been thinking"   

Zolomon tilts his head "Thinking of wot sur? I would help but as aid..didn't know ya too well, I could update on details of fights and such if that's needed but"He shrugs "Even that's not fully known. I just know I am the one who took de news to General Quinten..my runner skills helped a lot and they got the news like 2 and a half weeks before his Lordship and the..19 remaining hares came home. I know they went over who survived, who died...and who was missing. A couple hares quit the Long Patrol, I know one hare and his mate that lived at the mountain left but the Patrol is slowly recovering" He smiles "We did rescue dibbuns from slavers....out on de sea and we didn't have nearly as many hares for that mission..yes a couple died but I have yet to read a mission, like that anyways, where someone didn't die or get seriously injured."   

Velm nods as he replies "Well yeah, death is to be expected on rough missions like that, death can happen at any time if you're a patrol hare zolomon" he glances at the far off view "But let's not speak of it, though I may escort Elbio back to the abbey...I feel a short visit would do me well, just a few days, and then return."   

Zolomon hmms "It could be helpful sur and the abbey is nice, food is great thar and maybe they will have a feast...they have one each season though the autumn one is the best one"   

Velm shrugs "Perhaps" He chuckles "Never been inside de abbey...I was outside by the gate when..."He shakes his head and frowns "When the fight and then I wasn't" He has remembered something, but not after that. He ended up in the ditch but that has yet to be remembered by him"I was found wandering...north by the woods...seriously out of it the old otter said that...well ended up saving me life"   

Zolomon lays a paw on his shoulder "Not ta worry sur, your remember if tis meant to be. Maybe some are not meant ta be remembered perhaps"   

Velm snorts "Not meant ta be...."He shakes his head and sighs "Sorry..tis just. I want to fully remember that day. I do know I was Missing In Action...so they didn't know if, at the time, I was dead or alive. And that another hare was missing..some Private Ping but he was found and lives a quiet life in Mossflower somewhere and left he patrol, they had broken their leg and stayed with some hare maid that wasn't in the patrol...and "He chuckles "Guess has a family now and hat's fine as the patrol isn't for everyone"   

Zolomon nods as he sits down "I never had a family of my own....almost did...but..Tarsa died and a dibbun I was gonna adopt, Alif...found a member of his family so he is with them and I am happy for him."He smiles "I am just ...guess a loner, never ta have a family of me own but then de patrol IS family...right?" He smiles brightly at this.   

Velm smiles now "The Patrol is family yes, one big family and as for ...well mates "He chuckles "Not everyone finds a mate and falls in love to marry and all that...sides"He adds " More freedom if one isn't married "   

Zolomon chuckles"I suppose chap."He looks at the view "One thing that's in Mossflower by de way and not 'ere....or least nearly as much..snow, we get maybe an inch at times..Mossflower can get many feet of it in places...most we got 'ere on winter was 3 inches"   

Velm says, "Snow is not something that I will miss, trust me. I dislike the stuff...dislike seriously cold weather"
   
Zolomon grins "Snow can be fun."But he also is serious "And at times barely well dangerous yes" He smiles "So go with Elbio maybe in de spring"   

Velm replies "I just may.I am helping him to become a Lt. before then after all. He is in charge of 5....wait no 4 recruits now. Not de best group but maybe with de main trouble maker gone...who knows maybe they will get private rank and can tag along and I can walk them back , they will need someoen ta be in charge after we leave Elbio at de abbey "   

Zolomon says, "True...who knows wot privates will get into on any trip I would go meself but...I got the chance ta see de abbey when we took the dibbuns back, visited some friends...it was nice"
   
Velm nods, he speaks "I have no friends at the abbey or...really in Mossflower now, de old otter died season ago"   

Zolomon says, "Ya could....make a friend, even if ya would only see them once in a while, friends are nice to have"   

Velm tilts his head "Prehaps....I dont know, we shall see when the time comes."He straightens up and nods "For now I need to go train some hares. good day," And he walks off back inside.

Zolomon salutes the Lt and then goes back to looking at the view till it's meal time and then he heads inside as well.

********** A Story of Jake Scioto Lafur Foreston Lakewood Johnson III. *********

This was many seasons ago on the Western Shores when Bludstripe was Badger Lord. A group of Long Patrol hares was with Major Lot. Among the hares were Jake, Honeyfern, and three other privates. There had been some vermin activity on the shores and they were sent to investigate it.

The vermin were numbered 40 in all...sea rats, a couple of weasels, a few ferrets all lead by a tall fox named Poisonfur.
"Alright troops on the number 3 we attack" The Major said.

Jake frowned "But...sur is that wise? Thar is 40 of them and 6 of us and his Lordship said to watch them and report back to him and to not attack at all, to stay hidden."

Honeyfern nodded in agreement "That's right" She smiled at Jake and looked back to Lot, " One of us could stay and keep an eye on them though, so far it seems they are not doing much."

Lot glared at Jake "And let them later do something? Are ye mad boy? And who is de Major...surely not you, I AM!" He snorts and grins as he pulls out his weapon "1...2...3...ATTACK!!"

The next 10 minutes were a blur, it went too quick and 3 hares lives ended, and 2 of the vermin died. The other 3 barely escaped and made it back inside the mountain and it did not make the vermin go away, if anything it angered the vermin more as the fox declared war on the mountain.

Lord Bludstripe was far from happy on this development, arrows fired both ways till the vermin backed off, for a few hours anyway.

===A couple hours later===

Jake stormed off down the hallway, right to Major Lot "Wot were you thinking! Honeyfern could die....and my sister is dead! 2 other hares are dead cause of you!" He goes to punch the Major right in the jaw.

Lot was not prepared for this sudden fight, his jaw is luckily not broken as he kicks at Jake and manages to break the Private's wrist.

Jake tenses up in pain and slams Major Lot into the stone wall...harder than he meant to, but anger fueled it.

Lot slide down the wall, his shoulder dislocated, and collar bone cracked in two places, and unconscious.

"STAND DOWN!!" Came the booming voice of the Badger Lord.

Jake backed up and breathed in and out and fell to his knees tears going down his face. He looked over at Lord Bludstripe and then looked away from him.

The rest of the evening was touch and go for Major Lot but he lived, he would be out of action for 5 seasons after this.

Jake was asked to leave the Long Patrol, after a review the Badger Lord said he could return in a couple of seasons, Jake refused and said he would never rejoin and left vowing to never return.

Lot did have to go back to the rank of Corporal and work his way back up to Major, but few liked him........

Seasons would go bye.....15 since the day Jake left the Patrol and Lot would find Jake at Redwall Abbey. Jake was Gatekeeper, also Honeyfern also was reunited with Jake, she lived. Lot and Jake ended up having a long chat and forgave one another.

https://www.rwmuck.org/wiki/A_Favor_Asked

Jake and Honeyfern married, Jake had a daughter ..Kiara. Kiara later would have Zolomon!

******* Yes Kiara was part of the Long Patrol as well.....I can find some logs. Kiara was around during the Stormfeather TP and was one of two survivors of a group of  Long Patrol hares in the area but no one knew she lived till like 2-3 seasons later when she showed up at the abbey and later on she had Zolomon, Zolomon's father had disappeared right after he was born.. 
Other info is Jake died at the abbey after letting a wound he thought was nothing to worry about, get infected. He hid it very well till finally he got a high fever one day and ended up in the infirm. He was found by a novice a few days later having died sometime during the night. Kiara didn't find out till a few weeks later when a letter came to the mountain. As for what happen to Kiara after she went...a bit insane(right after Stormfeather, he seemed to never fully really recover to be a patrol hare but they gave her an honorable discharge, and if read Zolomon's history on the wiki your see Kiara died when Zolomon was 7 seasons old, they lived in the woods near the abbey ********

===At Brock Hall...sorry some reason it is not logging on there so paste/copy...it's short but a nice role play enjoy +++++

Who:

Gorvenalus- Recoder

Oz- Dibun

Xander-Novice

Log:
Gorvenalus smiled as he came down the steps "This place is so very interesting indeed. I am glad I decided to take some time off to stay here"

Xander smiles as he sits out mint tea and blueberry scones he made himself "You sure the abbey is ok without you Brother Gorvenalus?"

Gorvenalus just smiled "The abbey doesn't need it's recorder there 24/7 and it's been a while since I had a proper bit of a real vacation, and here is the best place for relaxing"

Oz comes toddling in and smiles at Xander holding his arms up "Up up daddy up"

Xander picks up Oz and sits down, "Yeah, it's nice here and cozy. And in a large hollowed-out tree too, course some is more like cave..tunnels guess under the tree. I wonder how it was made and stood so long"

Gorvenalus smiles as he sips tea "One will never know, wise beasts indeed and skilled paws. It may yet hold secrets we don't know of and who knows may or may not get to ever see in our lifetimes"

Oz yawns and snuggles closer to Xander, he was tried and seemed to spend the day getting into slight mischief.

Xander chuckles at Oz and smiles, "Krisha is napping right now, for sure relaxing which is good. Then she is supposed to relax and we have 2 novices and 2 order beasts helping and...well me also so not fully on a break...sort of 1/3 of it is novice stuff but that's ok...I love helping cook, and cleaning isn't so bad. I do get to sleep in, at least till we get back to the abbey"

Gorvenalus just chuckles at this, "Sleeping in is not something a lot get to do, even once you're a Brother in the order you may need to get up early at times. I get up early sometimes."

Oz ends up falling asleep, it's been a long day

Xander nods as he also yawns "Yeah, but for now...we all can sleep in, heck stay up late but not tonight kind of tried and it's good to have a healer here..ya know just in case one is needed"

Gorvenalus nods as he leans back"You leg seems to be doing better, how is your paw?

Xander replies "Yeah I can stand longer now without the cane...still uneven ground hates me and if do a lot of walking...leg still aches, feels stiff. My paw...seems a good deal better just once in a while sort of shakes...again if use it a lot it will shake more but it's been ...well good lately"He sighs "That poison...did a lot to me and some things I won't ever recover from really....my whole right side will always be a bit messed up. I can't run fast anymore without getting tried a lot sooner than before and...cold weather seems to make pain a little worse"

Gorvenalus listens and hmms "Well, could always be worse. I suppose we will see how things go in winter but there is always staying warm by a fire." He stands "I am going to bed, goodnight Xander"

Xander nods "Night" He will go to be in about an hour and yes..sleep in!

Who:

Patch-Owner of Redthorn Tavern, Ale Maker, Spy

Gorvenalus- Recorder and Part Time Healer

Krisha- Badger Mother

Dagger- insane

Safana- Rat Maid

LOG:

Patch had explained what happen to Safana and now he needed to get to the abbey or Ferravale but the abbey was safer and closer so he headed there. He also needed to let someone know where Xander was as he stayed ever alert.

Krisha was on the wall top looking over to the road and woods and taking a bit of a break from the dibbuns. A frown on her face as she was clearly worried.

Gorvenalus smiled and patted her arm "It will be fine Krisha, your see. Our Champion will find Xander and he will be home soon."

Meanwhile not too far from Patch, was Dagger and he kept rather close to the rat, a game he liked to call...seek and kill, the loser died of course. "Patch....come on Patch give up"

Patch frowned and ran faster, in fact almost into the wall. His eyes went wide as he noticed just what wall he about crashed into, "Abbey...ABBEY!!!" He ran along the wall and headed to the gate"Let me in! By the seasons let me in!!!!"

Krisha sighed "It's hard not to..."She looked down and seeing Patch she glared "What do you want, why let you in for?" She was clearly not in the mood to see the rat.

Gorvenalus frowned as he seen Patch, "He sounds scared, something....something is not right here. Yes, he is annoying but this sounds..."He frowned "Let him in please someone"

Dagger walked into view and smirked "I found you, ya lose" He flicked a throwing dagger at the rat."Tag...you die!"

Of course, it seemed someone else wanted to make sure Patch got to where ever he was going as a cloaked figure sneaked up behind Dagger ready to pounce on him and knock him down.

Patch panicked when he heard and then seen Dagger, he sidestepped just in time and the dagger bounced off the abbey gates."I'm gonna die if ya don't let me in...have some sort of mercy!!!!"

Krisha frowned now as she looked over at Gorvenalus unsure what to do, she quickly heads down the steps to speak to a novice "Quickly let Patch in, then shut the gate again"

Gorvenalus watches and notices the figure behind Dagger and tilts his head to study them, deciding to not warn Dagger he keeps an eye on what is going on.

Dagger cusses loudly and then "OOOF!" He sends a kick backward and goes to slip out a dagger to stab whoever just tried to tackle him !" Ya pay fer that pest!"

The cloaked figure tenses up and lets out a gasp stumbling backward, they then go to kick Dagger where he will feel the most pain and tries to get to Patch only to stumble and fall sideways shivering some.

Patch spins around and starts to go to the cloaked beast that just helped him, he sees the gates open and gulps aa he takes a chance and goes to help the cloaked beast inside "Close the gate !...Close it...close it!"

Krisha watches as the gate is closed and looks at Patch and the other beast in the cloak" Who are you and what is going on Patch?!"

Gorvrnalus quickly goes to see if a healer is needed as it seems there may be.

Dagger is kicked and falls backwards and is clearly in pain, he slowly gets up and glares at the gates "This is not over!...Your tavern is mine either way and  I have no clue where the stripedog is, I hope he died!" He then heads towards Ferravale, likely to stir up some lies.

The cloaked figure...is Safana the rat maid, she has a dagger in her chest that seemed to barely miss her heart. "I...."She falls forward into the beaver's arms, she needs the infirm ASAP!

Krisha is right in Patch's face"Did he say...does he mean Xander? Where is Xander answer me now! And why is this weasel after you for and what does Xander have to do with this or even your stupid tavern!" Oh yeah, she is peeved watch out!

Patch blinks "Saf?" He then backs into the wall "S...Stripy is ok or at least think he is. He should be at Safana's...den. I..I...I can show someone but...but Daggger....de weasel...he hates me and he blames stripy for giving me the Redthorn Tavern when he said it should have been his...Dagger's I mean. Dagger hates me more than he does Stripy...Stripy is safe...ish.....ummm, I think and I don't know ok..."He whimpers "I am not going back out by myself but it sounds like he is heading to......"He then seems concerned, then it's his turn to be angry "He is gonna do something to my tavern, I gotta get to Ferravale....but also avoid death....I hate today!"

Gorvenalus excuses himself and gets Safana to the infirm where she can get help. The beaver will help the healers that are in the infirm.

Krisha takes a couple of deep breaths "Safeish?!" She looks like she wants to slap Patch, then drags him towards the Library "Your gonna show on a map where Safana's den is...then I will get a sparrow to find Matilda and give her this update and she can find Xander. As for the tavern I have no clue."

Patch does show her the location on the map but then heads to the gate "I'm not waiting, Dagger needs stoped..even if I have ta die trying, that's my tavern and I won't let him destroy it. He also hurt Safana...." He is then gone, and whether he can get to the tavern first...and alive....is yet to be known.

WHO:

Patch- Owner of Redthron Taverm, Ale Maker, Annoying

Xander- Novice of Redwall

Dagger- insane beast

Safana- Rat maid of some sort, Patch's ..friend?

LOG:

Patch paced back and forth or least best he could pace anyways."Ok a plan, we need a plan."He looks at Xander "You have a plan right?"

Xander shakes his head "No, why would I have a plan, I planned to relax in a clearing a little ways from the abbey and then head back and help Matilda with some ales"

Patch groaned and looks at the entry, the chain and the pole it was on "We are doomed, so very doomed and dead soon"

Xander stood up and snorted "No way" He then went about digging at the pole the chained was attached to.

Patch watched "And that helps how Stripy?"He frowns "Ya going insane aren't ya?"

Xander speaks "The pole can only go so far into the ground, we dig it up enough to loosen it, we leave...its a cave, open entry, and no guard. This Dagger is not thinking too well"

Patch  ohhhs "Yeah, ok ok ya have a point but we need more than just your paws" He searches his pockets, then his boots, and smirks"Thye forgot this dagger..." He uses it to loosen the dirt and works at it about an hour "Ok ya wanna try to pull?"

Xander nods as he goes to pull, he pants and growls a little "Help...me..Patch"

Patch nods 'Oh yeah"He goes to help pull as well. He even loosens the dirt some more and goes back to helping pull.

Xander snorts but feels it move and pulls again, he also moves the pole back and forth and gives one more pull and tumbles backward and tenses up. His paw is also shaking very badly now as he shivers some.

The pole has moved a good deal and is very loose now.

Patch is concerned "Stripy?" He frowns and nods "Ok we need ta get outta 'ere..come on"

Xander stands, shivering "Let's...g...g...go ok"He moves slowly and looks around "Left..right?"

Patch thinks quickly " Left...let's just go..."He says quietly as he leads the way, he tries to figure out where they are and then smiles "I....have an idea..yeah yeah, this way I know a beast who can help us, quickly"

Xander nods "Yeah..."He is limping badly and trying his best to carry the chain and pole they are they connected to."It's not far..r..r...right?"

Patch helps, he stays alert as they go down a path somehow without dragging the chain or pole, ok they did drag it a tiny bit once but a fair ways from that cave. "Ok ok...OH!..She is here...I think...ummmm hopefully"

Xander frowns and sits down "You hope?"

Patch frowns and looks unsure still, he then clears his throat and makes a sort of chirp...whisel...chirp sound "

A voice is heard, "Patch? That you you piece of...."The voice stops and then into view comes a  tall rat maid who looks at Patch and then the badger, and back to Patch "What the ****** Patch!?"

Patch waves 'Ummm...hi Safana."

Xander groans and looks ready to pass out, paw shaking badly and he is shivering too, his leg looks slightly swollen as well.

Safana looks back and forth "Inside inside now....." Her little hideout is a sort of hut hidden by a couple of dead trees, and some dead leaves and sticks, mud...it's very well hidden and unless you're looking VERY WELL one won't find it. "Explain later....."

Patch makes sure they all get in and then tells her what happen and why they are there.

Meanwhile, Dagger arrives at the cave "Time to Die....."He looks in shock at the fact his prisoners are gone and screams loudly!

The fox comes over "What...oh they gone, now what?"

Dagger stabs the fox, he makes sure it dies and then storms off "Now I have to track them down....moron" He sighs "Good help is hard to find" He sits, for now, he can look for them come morning.

WHO:

Texo -Architect of Ferravale

Dagger-Evil, insane, Greedy

Xander- Novice of Redwall

Tenzin- Warrior in Camp Willow

Patch-Owner of Redthorn Tavern, spy,ale maker, annoying rat

LOG:

Patch looked around nervously, "I...don't know...maybe we should just not pick up the supplies."

Texo shakes his head "Look I decided to help pick them up, so deal with it. And its bright daylight"

Orag and Otis, the two stoats that helped Patch was with them. They soon meet up with the beast they got some ale from, some hopps, and a couple of other things. A deal was made and done. All went well. And the two stoats went on ahead of the others.

Patch still was on alert but he was less tense now at least"Ok ok, seems my day is good for once...maybe that dumb weasel decided to leave town...which actually won't help me, then again if he is known to be the murder...that's good!"

And then the calm was broken when the weasel and a fox arrived, the fox right away went for Texo,sliceing towards his chest and side with twin blades. The weasel went towards Patch "Hello Patch! Remember me"

Texo has little time to react before the he sees the fox, he gets the slice to the side but the chest is blocked mostly by his arm but he is still wounded badly and tumbles sideways to the path.

Patch gasps "Dagger?!...."He then sees Texo and rushes over "Texo...noo...no no no I ...I can help" He holds pressure to the wound.

Dagger walks up behind Patch and stabs a sleeping dart into his shoulder " Patch , you need a nap that...buddy"

Patch tenses up and falls to the ground as his vision fades "I...hate....you...Dagger"

"Hate you too, very very much" Dagger says as he goes to carry Patch off, he looks at the fox "You know what to do" And he is off.

The fox nods and walks to the village, he will later help Dagger with one more task.

What the two didn't know is an otter was watching them, and waited till they left to quickly rush over to Texo "Hey...hey Texo?"

Texo groans, he was alive but needed a healer quickly.

Tenzin looked towards the village, he then picked up the ferret and quickly went to alert the gate guards and get Texo to the infirm healers, then he was gonna try and track down Dagger...the Archtech had become his friend and no one hurt Tenzin's friends and lived too long.

==Later in the afternoon===

The dirt road was quiet, then that was not all that odd. The day was slightly cold, but not too cold yet as it was still autumn. Leaves turned a bright red and orange, some yellows and some golds even lay all over and on the ground, and road.

Xander decided a short walk might be good, to clear his head somewhat. He had done a lot with chores, even learned to fix a book backing, but still, some ways of the abbey were hard to learn like getting up early, listening to history of which he knew some of already. He could read and write so that was boring as well, and when he tried to mix a paste for healing he messed up. So he needed a break and a short one wouldn't hurt anything.

The badger is being watched from a tree, but whoever it is, they are smart to not go near him. A dart is carefully aimed and fired. A sleeping dart.

Xander takes a deep breath then exhaled, he looked back towards where he saw the top of the Bell Tower and part of the abbey wall " Suppose I should go back....it's been an hour..."He then tenses up as the dart hit his arm, he stares at it and pulls it out "Wot...the----" He says no more as he passes out and the dart falls from his paw.
==About 3 hours pass==

Patch shakes the badger, "Come on...wake up stripy, please wake up... it's important"

Xander groans and opens his eyes, seeing Patch he frowns "Why are you in my room? Wait...why you at the abbey?"

"This isn't the abbey Stripy, I would love for this to be the abbey instead trust me"

"Trust you, who should trust you Patch?" Came a voice as the cloaked figure appeared, the weasel that the rat and Architect saw "Greetings, this is my humble little cave, I am Dagger and your my guests, so should we get the party started? A little chat, maybe some food" He chuckles "For me or I can be nice and offer you some and then the fun event of the evening..."He grins "Your deaths"

And Xander is WIDE awake now and sits up a little too quickly and glares at the weasel, then at Patch "Wot the seasons is going on you best tell me right now before I slap you!"

Patch whimpers and backs away "Dagger hates me....and you it seems. I didn't cause it I swear!!"

Dagger chuckles coldly "In a way ya did Patch. See I mainly hate the rat but you stripedog....you gave the tavern to the rat...why? Was I not worthy enough? I mean..it under the ownership of a woodlander was bad enough but Patch!..PATCH!!!....how annoying when I could have done such a better job, made it better more....fit for vermin less fit for woodlander guests, and that stupid shrew who comes and sings...who's idea was that, it should be outlawed but no worries it will soon change as I will be the owner here in a couple of days since Patch will not be able to be owner anymore here very soon"

Xander takes a deep breath to calm himself as he tries not to tackle the weasel, but he fails and goes to tackle him only to fall flat on his face with a groan, he tenses up as of course his leg gives out now, and the chain on his leg helps very little."Look Dagger, your insane, maybe that's why Patch was chosen, that and he has been doing a lot for the tavern, even when Marek had it."

Dagger rolls his eyes "Redthorn....he was a fool too...he used to be a great warlord and then he...he turned all...gross." He smirks as he is just out of reach "Maybe you two just need some alone time to think about this."He turns to leave.

"You own my Tavern? Yeah over my dead body ya will scumbag" Patch says, he is now angry and peeved and paws made into fists where he stands.

Xander snorts, he looks over at Patch and blinks, he rarely sees the rat angry and this, this is different.

Dagger chuckles "Excalley Patch...see you do have a brain. I will have it over your dead body" He chuckles madly and walks off leaving the two beasts chained to the iron stake buried deep in the ground in the old den.
