WHO:

Elbio- Ensign and soon Redwall Resident Hare,Fightet

Quinten- Recorder and General

Group of 5 recruits- spoofed

LOG:

Elbio is on shore and stuck with the 5 worse recruits in history. They won't listen to orders, one just rolls thier eyes...wait one is least listening some, they just are not good at situps. The ensign sighs " Why....why theese 5 for the next 2 weeks" So far this test see if can handle a small group....is a failure

Quinten comes walking down the beach from the North, the General is on his way back from Halyard, accompanied by Lieutenant Wetworth and his patrol. Their hands are free and ready to fight at a moments notice but Quinten has a large basket in one hand. Upon seeing Elbio and his recruits he changes direction and starts to move toward them, curious to see how he is getting on and scare the hell out of the recruits, he's well aware how awful these five are.   

Elbio is so far failing at the scare part, maybe he just needs pratice as this is new to him as well.He clears his throat" Ok listen up you all need to be ready to fight " One just rolls thier eyes." Oh yezh danger for miles." He chuckles at this, " I say your no fun and why call ya sur fer..huh?" The one doing sit ups speaks " He is an Ensign..." .." No one asked you Pog shut up."   

Lieutenant Wetworth takes his queue from Quinten, the old home guard Lieutenant is one of Quinten's chief staff officers and he sends his patrol to stand watch onthe perimetre and lopes forward quickly. "Ensign Elbio... fall your recruits in! Surprise inspection!"

Elbio is surprised by the Lt entry, he salutes " Yes sur..." A glace at the 5 recruits,." Ya heard him stand at attention!" ..4 do, Sid...does not,he just smirks " No thanks, I need a break"   

Quinten says, "Do you now," Quinten says as he strolls up and places his basket down, he is dressed in his full uniform and stares down at Sid, his ears standing tall, "A break you say..." he marches forward and stops before Sid, "So you think joining the Long Patrol is a joke? That putting the lives of your squad at risk because you can't be bothered is funny? Well.... if that is your attitude, I'll process your washing out of the recruit programme here and now and you can go home. I am sure everyone will be impressed with how you washed out of the Long Patrol because you couldn't be bothered."

Elbio watches as Sid just snorts at the General, the other 4 recruits gasp as ok they are bad at following orders but...this...nope, Sid laughs" Thr patrol is a joke maybe I willl leave, who needs ya losers." He walks off, the other 4 recruits look at Elibo as if what now. He clears his throat." The patrol is not a joke." He resists a sudden urge to go punch Sid. He looks to the 4 recruits that are still here" Ok..so your stuck with me 2 weeks...I expect you try your best please...we...we can get through this next two weeks right?" He is,surprised at a yes sur and smiles.   

Quinten shakes his head, "Very well," The older hare says, "Consider yourself dismissed, you may enter the mountain to collect your belongings and then leave," he motions, "Private Gemini, please escord Sid to his barracks, see he takes only his stuff then escort him back out of the mountain."   

He then puts Sid out of his mind and turns to stalk along the line of the othe recruits, "So you four intend to make a go of it do you?" he barks orders, stand straight, chins downs, ordering them to stand correctly and straight, "The patrol is a family, we all rely on each other from me in my office seeing to paperwork to you recruits. Every member of the patrol is part of an ancient and honoured force and I will not let anyone join our ranks who would shame us and our venerable institution before Lord Ciocan."   

He turns and walks over to stand next to Elbio, "We are the Long Patrol, our duty is to keep the peace, we fight to protect these lands in the name of his Lordship and all free beasts everywhere. We keep the shore safe from mauraders and looters. Your training here is not a joke, is not a fun walk along the beach, if you are serious you will listen to Ensign Elbio, you will do as he says and know that I will be watching."

Elbio stands up strighter as the General speaks and the recruits listen. They nod a few tinee3. " Under stood sur" They reply. Elbio nods" Seeing the patrol as family sounds nice sur. "   

Quinten nods his head toward the hare who spoke then smiles, "Now ordinarily if you spoke to an officer without being asked a question I'd be sending you on twenty laps of the mountain." he shakes his head, "But I was like you once, I was a recruit then a private. I worked my way up to General, I was shocked the day Lord Ciocan asked me to replace old General Ativar when he retired."   

Elbio listens closely, the recruits seem impressed with this. Elibo keeps in mind laps around the mountain as he is to train these 4 hares best he can, for now a couple weeks. If all goes well maybe see them to Private before he heads to Redwall in the spring.   

Quinten moves up and down the line once more, inspecting and handing out advice on their uniforms and then steps back, "Well Ensign, I hand them all over to you, I will be back down tomorrow an hour before dawn to observe their and your training regieme." The general doesn't often have time to watch every recruit drill but this is Elbio's test too, resident hare and ambassador to Redwall, that's quite a job he needs to be sure Elbio is up to it, not just anyone gets to join the Abbot's closest advisors.   

Elbio salutes Quinten." Yes sur. I will make sure they are ready" He had before the General arrived showed the recruits how to do sit ups and push ups, he makes a mental note to write up a drill plan for his report.   
Quinten steps back and murmurs, "I'd have a word with Felicity about exercise routines and drill practice, she's quite good at it." he then nods, picks up his basket and resumes his walk toward the mountain with Liteutenant Wentworth and his patrol falling in around him.   

Elbio nods, he starts to ask how she is and decides not to , if he was unable to speak to her there was others and maybe even reports to read on the subject." ok 1 lap then head inside" He makes sure all is well. then heads inside as well.

WHO:

Log-a-log-Leader/Chieftain of the GUOSIM

Elbio- Private,Fighter,Archer and RW Residential LP Hare

Krisha- Badger Mother

Tenzin- warrior otter

LOG:

Log-A-log was sitting by the pond just staring at the ripples of the pond, he suddenly throws a rock at the pond and screams loudly, tears course down his face. With him is 6 other shrews of the GUOSIM and they are keeping their distance from their chieftain right now.
   
Elbio frowns, ears go flat as he isn't sure what to really do "I could...bally well find the Abbot maybe?"   

Tenzin makes his way towards the pond " I don't need de infirmary...go away"   

Log-a-log snorts and throws another, then another rock into the pond as he lets out a few cuss words, the rest of the GUOSIM shrews just, like...they watch and one looks over at the hare "Unwise..this GUOSIM business, let Log-a-log handle it"

Elbio frowns "Ummm...."He looks over at the shrew leader and sits down by the tree he is beside "Well...that's interesting, suppose..."He looks over at the otter as he appears.
   
Tenzin looks over and sits close to the hare, " I say he wants ta punch someone, he can punch me fer not doin' something sooner"
   
Log-a-log looks over at them and then just looks back to the pond, arms crossed over his chest, muttering to...well no one he is just muttering.   
   
Elbio frowns "I rather not see any beast punched chap, the abbey supposed ta be peaceful wot"   

Tenzin shrugs, he sighs " He has a right ta be upset...Keldorn is dead, he was one of his best fighters "
   
Log-a-log turns and storms over to the sea otter, the rest of the GUOSIM back further away as their leader stops right in front of the sea otter "Explain...what happen, you were de one that carried him inside...I would ask Leigh but she is with Oswald...not asking her, asking of you...reply!!"
   
Elbio frowns and scoots over but stays nearby just in case there is a fight, he is not getting involved with these shrews, tiny but good grief fierce.   

   
Tenzin stands and glares " Back off fuzzy. I saw the fight yeah...didn't get thar in time, maybe ya should train ya beasts better huh....lost 2 shrews in wot...2 weeks" He shakes his head" some leader"   

Krisha walks into the area about this time and looks over, a frown as she stops any dibbuns from going closer as the plan was some fun at the pond, looks like no fun at the pond today.   

Log-a-log eyes seem to flash"Fuzzy!" He leaps at the otter and goes to attempt to slap him or kick him. The other shrews just frown   

Elbio frowns "Ummmm, now should we get the abbot...or wait?"   

Tenzin snorts as he moves sideways from the shrew" Yeah yeah, let's feel better by kicking! Ha...ya shrews stink"   

Krisha snorts and smiles at the dibbuns "Go with Sister Anna dears....you can play in open ground." She waits till they walk off, then walks over to the otter and the shrew and attempts to grab both if needed, and hold them up in the air glaring at each "Wot in the blooming seasons!" She is not happy,"No fighting in these walls or I toss ya both out to de dirt road!"   

Log-a-log screams and goes to kick at the otter again, punch him in the gut if he can reach it....and then he is lifted up and kicks and spits at the otter," He called me a bad leader.......let me go...gonna...."He screams and cusses again. The other shrews just...back off and decide to go to the firepit, yep they are likely smart.

Elbio gasps and backs up, ears flat as he watches this and stays out of the way.   

Tenzin reaches for the shrew," Release ya striped dog   

Krisha takes a deep breath and snarls in the otters face, she looks at Log-a-log as well but least no growling at him, she looks between them"You both have 10 seconds to CALM DOWN...and behave like normal beast!"   

Log-a-log folds his arms over his chest"He refuses ta answer me!"

Elbio just...yeah frowns and seems to debate on following the rest of the shrews to that fire pit.   

Tenzin glares " EXplain wot ya..." A deep breath, " The beast that killed Keldorn be headless..ya welcome..." He then just sort of relaxes and lets tears fall." Didn't know him long but...seen him as one of me few friends "   

Krisha almost drops the sea otter and straightens up "Keldorn...dead?" She looks between them, still making sure she lets them know who is in control here, "I am putting you two down, you will not fight, if ya do your escorted out by me and not politely either, we will talk like normal beasts ok?"She sighs "Things...happen, I am sure it's no ones fault but the vermin and seems it is dead and gone, just so thar is no more"   

Log-a-log nods, he will just sit on the grass and let tears fall" I am...sorry sir otter it is not being your fault..."He frowns, was it his...he was unsure."I am sure he fought best he could, Leigh mentioned an ambush...I.."He looks at the otter "I should be thanking you for making sure Leigh was not slain as well, trust me Oswald for sure thanks you"

Elbio looks between them, he stays where he is and quiet foe now least something triggers a fight.   

Tenzin frowns. He nods slowly " Yeah..." Is all he gets out and looks at the grass.   

Krisha looks between them and nods "Now...best to get along when something like this happens, not go...throwing blame at one another, that solves nothing and causes unneeded stress."She frowns, he was a friend to her too, "Keldorn will be missed...he can be buried in the abbey if that's ok with you Log-a-log, or...somewhere near your camp"   

Log-a-log nods and wipes away some tears "The abbey grounds is good Mother Krisha....now excuse me I need to speak to my shrews, we all need to morn Keldorn."

Elbio stands "I will go find Leigh and Oswald for ya Log-a-chap.."He does indeed manage to find Oswald and Leigh so all the GUOSIM can have a sort of memorial for Keldorn.   

Tenzin sighs as he slowly sits down by a tree in the orchards, it's best to leave him alone for now.
   
Krisha looks between the beasts and nods "Alright" She frowns and heads to the open ground, she has dibbuns to check on.   

==Short time later===

Log-a-log stands in front of the GUOSIM, there is him and now 8 other shrews in his group total. Not a large group but they are still good fighters, they still are strong and mightly, and they all morn the loss of a fellow shrew...Keldorn A small little memorial for their fallen friend, they indeed do bury Keldorn in the abbey grounds, others will pay their respects over the next couple days.
