*** So yes I am Elbio's player...I had him disappear after some disagreement and had others decide whether they believed him dead or not, anyways he isn't dead...he is alive and this log shows his return ****

Who:

Elbio- LP Recruit?..Fighter,Skilled  Climber and Archer

Benar-Abbot of Redwall

Krisha-Badger Mother

A couple spoofed guards,some cooks and novices

LOG:

Elbio was having the worse past few days ever. It was bad enough he got separated from the others mainly his fault for getting upset and storming off right into trouble. So he finally gets out of that only to not find them, gets lost and only figured he give up and find the famous Redwall that took some time as well Then rats a lot but he got away and found the wall as his eyes widen, well he did have his gear he could use a hook to climb this wall and hope his past few days...weeks?...didn't get worse.
   
As the hare comes over the wall two otters grab him by the shoulders, another one goes for any weapon he is carrying and a third levels a spear right at him. "Right freeze hare... you are under arrest!"   

Elbio frowns as he looks at the two otters. his outfit likely doesn't help as his tunic is torn and kind of looks like a uniform but his cloak is..all black and designed like bat wings, his fur is dirt covered as he looks between the two and speaks. " W..wvhy.. chaps?" He had a longbow and arrows, a dirk and that climbing gear.   

His weapons are removed and the climbing gear is pulled away as a member of the abbey guard hurries over and frowns, "Because," The otter growls, "The rats have.... slaves, servants, it isn't quite clear but woodlanders who think they are doing their part to help educate us all. And you laddy buck are probably one of them so playing dumb won't help you here."   

Elbio frowns " I'm a hare...a...' He frowns as maybe after this long he wasn't a Long Patrol hare anymore." Educate on wot? Ya guys have like...an order, this is Redwall right?"   

The Mouse frowns, "Yes this is Redwall...." He shakes his head, "Let us take him down and see who is available... maybe we should see if Adrian is awake? If not the Abbot was in the Kiln a little while ago." The otters frog march you along after searching for more weapons and escort you down the stairs.   

Elbio groans as he is marched down steps and into the main yard, he perks up a little looking around in awe at the abbey. no other weapons are found just some berries, a water pouch and some hard half eaten scone or...muffin maybe.   

The otters and the mouse lead him through the grounds, there appears to be a military camp out on the main grounds, beasts from Ferravale & Camp Willow camping outside. In the kiln the Abbot is sat at the pottery wheel making something out of clay but he looks up as the hare is marched up toward him and the mouse informs him how Elbio was caught sneaking over the wall.   

Elbio frowns,he studies Benar and half smiles "umm..good day chap or maybe not such a good day"   

Benar says, "Perhaps not for you, as I am sure you have noticed the abbey is besieged and your masters must know I cannot and will not trust any random stranger to make it to our walls. I am well aware you believe in the Order of Castes and think you are doing the right thing."
   
Elbio gives the abbot one very confused lost look " De who of..what chap? I have no bally master. I am on me own see and got lost from me friends...well may not be me friends now, but..they were."   

Benar leans back, "I see... so who are these friends? Describe them to me and I will see if you are a prisoner or a guest and long lost friend returning home to us"   

Elbio frowns, he nods now"Thar is Corporal Adrain and Private Monty"  He descs them fairly well, "And a couple hare maid..."He desc sola and a rather grumpy one that seems to like the corporal.   

Benar relaxes and motions, "Release him," he says, "Anyone who can describe Monty that well and Sola that well is no rat horde stooge," he smiled softly, "Welcome to Redwall Abbey  my friend, sorry for the rough welcoming but these are... trying times"   

Elbio moves slightly away from the guards, "Tryin' times?" He frowns "Then again...ya can't really miss those rats...they are everywhere, not so much ya east wall seemed or..I got lucky" He clears his throat "Elbio Hans Reed..."   

Benar says, "Indeed, some High Lord from the Empire of the Order of Castes has decided Redwall must be brought back into their ways," he frowns, "I managed to convince their leader he and I are equals so he is fighting us on some weird laws of theirs that don't let him just swamp us under"
   
Elbio crosses his arms and nods, his stomach then growls as he frowns "Sorry thar ..Abbot sur...but thar has ta be a way to bally well make em' leave, ta defeat them..always a way one just needs ta find it"   

Benar says, "We will find the way Elbio..." he frowns, "They have been testing our defenses but with the aid of our friends we have kept them out of the abbey."
   
Elbio nods "Then so far..so good,and now ya have me"He smiles"I am an archer and a good fighter and as ya saw...good climber too wot"He frowns, ok one other question "So ...not ta be rude or anything but need some good tuck, kind of been out of luck on much good stuff past few days when...well"All the trouble with avoiding rats, he even killed a pawful of them in fact.

Benar smiles, "I am sure we can find you something to eat, normally I'd make you wait until the next meal time but with how things are and you're having to sneak in through the woods I am sure I an make an exception," he stands up and wipes his paws clean on a cloth, "Let's go to the Kitchens"   

Elbio smiles at the word kitchen and nods"Jolly well lead the way" He also wants to see more of the abbey but has done well to hide that excitement, fairly well he is still in awe of it all"The abbey is bigger than thought and never knew they had all..this.I heard stories of the abbey"   

Benar leads the way across the grounds, Elbio might notice two of the abbey guards follow from the kiln, seems no one is taking chances with Benar right now and he has an escort of guards anytime he goes outside. The kitchens are bustling, with so many extra mouths to feed meals outside of actual meal times and not controlled are an oddity but a word to a helper gets some soup and bread served up for the hare. "Here we go Elbio."
   
Elbio follows the abbot and smiles at the offered soup and bread. "Thank ya" He is polite, though likely should get a bath but that can wait after a meal.He eats at a calm pace even if he is hungry, one is polite here after all as he looks around "Hopefully your..seige thing will end soon"   

Krisha makes her way into the kitchens, seeing the hare she stops and looks at him, then Benar "So we have a new guest? I thought the gates was locked to any beast right now"   

Benar says, "Elbio managed to get in over the eastern wall," he shakes his head, "He is part of Adrian's team, seems he got separated before they reached here," he frowns at Elbio and sighs, "I hope so too... this siege is warying on my nerves"   

Elbio straightens up when he sees the badger and nods a hallo to her, " Yes and...hopefully not in trouble I didn't bally well mean to get lost....ok I did grumble once and kind of went off, but came back ta de camp and they were gone and some other issues were happening...but glad they are ok and I..well will see them soon"   

Krisha frowns at first as she looks the hare over, then nods "Well if he is one of Adrian's hares good, we need to let him know to let him know..Elbio was it?, is here..."She frowns at the hare "A bath be good too, and a change of outfit."   

Benar smiles and leans back against the kitchen counter, he'll let Krisha do the mothering, no one can resist the Badger mother for long when they have decided someone needs a bath, "We have spare robes they can wear until their uniform can be prepared and I am sure we can arrange a bath...."   

Elbio frowns, "A...bath?" He is not against it, he just is tried and just got here, though the one cloak is odd"The cloak...is special-made, a gift from bats we meeT, made from some special cloth they had cause we jolly well helped them when vermin tried ta invade their mountain home." His uniform, yeah could do with some sewing "And I jolly well need food first..."Well more as he had one bowl and bread already and some water to drink."Maybe find me, friends..."He does back up a little bit.   

Krisha snorts as she walks closer to the hare, "I say bath now and find other beasts later, the food and drink is going no where trust me.."Another step to the hare,"I be glad to show you to a nice place, some novices can get a bath ready..we can take great care of that cloak and let your hare friends know your here." She is in front of him now.   

Benar smiles softly at Elbio but offers no help, Krisha has decided, even Benar doesn't say no when she has decided something must be done, "I am sure a bath will help you feel better," he picks up a bowl of salad, "Besides you just finished your soup," he hands the bowl to a novice, "Anything else will have to wait for lunch in oh... say two hours, and I can't have someone with your.... delightful foresty fragrance at my table."
   
Elbio backs into a table and frowns at the badger, "I..."He glances over at the Abbot "I am not bally well against it...just...rest and food is good.." He looks back at Krisha"Ya sure..later isn't good...lass?"   

Krisha clearly isn't taking no for a reply as she goes to grab an ear and escort him to where he can get a bath, and his uniform and cape will be carefully washed as well"Also find an extra robe he can wear at lunch."She says, if he still wants to say no again...well he likely shouldn't risk that. she finds a couple of novices and ask them to prepare a nice warm bath for their guest   

Benar smiles and waves, "Welcome to Redwall Elbio," he leans to a cook, "Make sure to make him a snack for when he comes back, but not a big one... and explain to him the abbey kitchen is closed to all Long Patrol hares, they can eat at meal times like everyone else..." he smiles and then heads for the door, wandering off with the salad.   

Elbio doesn't say no again luckly, he sighs and gives in.."Just be careful with de cloak, its delicate...and when do I get de uniform back?" He sighs and will take his bath without further questions.
   
Krisha makes sure the hare has a room to himself, makes sure a clean robe is placed on a bench for him for when he is done"When your clean and dry put on the robe, I will be outside in the hall"Yep she is not leaaveing the hallway and letting him go wandering off.   

Elbio sighs and nods, fine he will do as asked.But they best take extra care with his cloak
   
Time passes and it's been almost 2 hours now.   

Elbio peeks out and slips into the hall, so his dusty greyish brown fur, that had some clumps of fur in a couple of places is brown fur..wow.He smellls a LOT better now and has the light green robe on for now. His ears turn to sounds, one is a little taller than the other one, he didn't have much grey brown, but its clear it was dirt and dust, he is all clean now.He seems unsure where to go now.   

Krisha glaces over and offers a smile "See...much better, and ya likely feel better as Benar said you would, am I correct?" She is in a better mood now that the hare is clean."Your uniform and cloak were cleaned and drying, the uniform will be sewed, your cloak was in good shape...intresting where did you get it?"   

Elbio seems glad the badger is in a much better mood as he smiles, he does feel better now and even more awake "Bats lass...from a mountain where they rule, lots of em...me and my friends helped them get rid of some rather...ummm bad beasts, very bad beasts" And deadly he remembers,they killed a friend he made, it was fairly frightening fighting the vermin...and even a rare couple woodlanders have gone...well wrong in his mind just wrong,they were ...well he shakes the memory from his head"The bath was nice, thank ya..some tuck be nice too"   

Krisha nods as she leads the way to the Great Hall "Lunch is in about an hour now" She gets some blueberry scones and tea and sits down "We can have this for now, I am not sure what is for lunch yet, we shall see then"   

Elbio nods, he eats a scone and gets a secound one he eats a bit slower and smiles, a sip or two of tea as he smiles "Awwww..good good food lass, delightful.."He drains the tea and gets more finishing the 2nd scone.
   
Krisha sighs, she has eaten half a scone and drank a little of the tea "I am glad you're enjoying it..though be nice and eat too fast...or too much, by the way kitchen off limits to hares, you eat at meal times..this snack is because you missed breakfast and was lost in the woods a few days, likely had not much to eat in the woods. But meals at mealtime like everyone else....breakfast...lunch...dinner...water and maybe a light cider at times if your outside, understood?" Looks like she means it too, he best listen.   

Elbio has the 3nd scone and just nibbles it, sips a 2nd mug of tea and nods "Yes...lass. Of course..lass..sorry, so wots all...going on, wots de rats want ?"   

Krisha frowns "Wish I knew...some rightfu order or ..something"She frowns "Our champion, the gate keeper and my mate are off hunting slavers that took our dibbuns, the only dibbuns here is a goose that was on the pond hiding and luckily was not  caught,she lives at the abbey and Log-A-Log's young son, he was at the GUOSIM camp, all the others....gone..taken, a Sister was..killed and we have had no updates on where our 3 beasts are...there was also a couple others that went too, to help them...they could be anywhere..alive or ...even....."She frowns more, no she won't believe anyone dead, they are fine...they have to be fine and will be home when they can and home will be here ready and safe for them.   

Elbio frowns, he reaches out a paw to touch her arm, "Don't worry lass, I am sure they are fine and as for the rats...they will be defeated, how and when...well we bally well wait and find out right?"   

Krisha nods slowly and smiles a little "Martin will...protect us and them, its just hard not to worry. I miss my son...my dibbuns.." To her all the abbey dibbuns are her dibbuns.." I miss my mate, he can be a bit rush into danger without always thinking on it first...but our campion will likely keep him..calm I hope, its just the not knowing where they are or when be back, is anyone hurt..or worse"   

Elbio listens, he is good at that and pats her arm "Thar thar lass..keep hope alive wot? They will be back and maybe the grand abbey can have a feast to celebrate caause other friends and allies ya have here is gonna make sure those rats are long gone by the time your friends get back with the dibbuns in tow"   

Krisha smiles "Thank you.."She wipes away a tear and stands "I can..show you around the abbey before lunch, maybe we will find your hare friends before then, if not trust me your see them at lunch"   

Elbio nods "Lead de way good lass."He smiles, though he is not too sure the other hares will react well, well he will find out right now he enjoys a tour of the abbey and its more wonderful than he ever thought it would be.

Who:

Log-a-log-Chieftain of the GUOSIM

Xavier-Son of Log-a-log

Krisha-Badger Mother

LOG:

Log-A-Log was relaxing after the eventful evening, with him was his son Xavier .He laid near him on the floor and smiled.The Log-a-log's arm was bandaged and in a sling so he had some issues being able to hold him.   

Krisha makes her way down the steps and nods "Log-alog..and Xavier hello dear" She smiles and sat on the floor beside them, she only had this one dibbun and the goose Gracie to help care for.   

Xavier giggled and pulled himself up using his father's back where he laid down and looked at the badger, a step and then he felll and started to cry.   

Log-A-Log sat up, slowly stood and picked up his young son "Hey dada is 'ere he iss.."He nods "You ok Mother Krisha,after this afternoon, it was a right mess outside.I have made sure the wall tops are being watched, on all sides just in case."   

Krisha says, "Thank you Log-a-log that will be very helpful, I keep beasts calm inside...if the dibbuns were here I would keep them calm as well"
   
Xavier giggles and makes sounds, he has been trying to talk lately.."d..d..d...d..Daa..Dada, heeheehehe"   

Log-A-Log grins large and wide at this..."Yes I am dada....heee"He spins around holding his son carefully "Your first word!!"
   
Krisha frowns, one would think this be happy but watching the shrew babe, it makes her think of something else...someone else and the first word just makes it harder as she stands and leaves the room in tears.She goes to a dibbun main dorm room and lays on the floor,in her paw a small blanket she holds close, tears go down her face.The room is empty otherwise as they have yet to place things back in here,this main room has been colored a light blue, it has started to have pictures painted of fluffy clouds and a garden, an area where she will have the dibbuns make paw prints.It has a lot of work yet to be done in this room, as well as the dorm and classroom.
   
Log-A-Log follows as he carries Xavier, he peeks in and walks over"Mother...Krisha? Are you alright....I can get Benar"   

Xavier reaches out to the badger babbleing something, its unclear what just yet.   

Krisha shakes her paw "No...Benar needs rest..."She wipes away tears "I'm..sorry its just."She looks at the small blanket, the name Oz in the corner "Its Oz's...blanket, they left it behind when they..."Tears fall "Took him....he be learning to crawl now...I'm missing it...is he alive? Will they find him?The other?Will he...even know his own mother" More tears fall now
   
Log-A-Log sits the shrew dibun down beside her and he lays a paw on her shoulder "It is ok to miss your son, and I say he will of course remember his mom, you are mom....a bound tis made between mom and child,a special one never forgotten" He adds "The other dibbuns they too will return...safe and sound. When?...We know not but when they do it will be a great day"   

Xavier giggles and touches the badger's footpaw.   

Krisha smiles and picks up the dibbun holding it close, rocking him as she speaks"I also miss Xander....and know how he can get in...this sort of thing, he would do anything to get his son back.We have no way of knowing if any of them will return or not or where they are even...I just heard north,thats all"   

Log-A-Log nods "North yes.....from thar I know not sorry but I have two of my best shrews..Oswald and Keldorn, and they have Matilda...Dorarose and Caleb as well"   

Xavier snuggles against the badger mother and ends up falling asleep.   

Krisha nods "Yes and...Martin is with them...I just know it." She smiles as the dibbun falls asleep in her arms, she misses this as she sits up. A glance around the room"This room still needs lots of work"   

Log-A-Log nods "Yes but"He points to the arm in a sling and bandaged "I can not help"He hmmms "I can help round up others, tomorrow maybe...get minds off today..right?"   

Krisha says, "That is a good idea and others can clean other rooms that still need cleaning, it does keep things...well in order"She looks down at Xavier and smiles again, a nod to Log-a-log"Thank you, even I need cheered up, it's sometimes hard to keep others calm when deep down you want to not be calm yourself"
   
Log-A-Log nods "That is true.....but all is not lost.Things will be ok yes?"
   
Krisha smiles"Yes....it will be."She will help Log-a-LOG to his room, she starts to hand him the small shrew.   

Log-A-Log smiles as he lays down, he shakes his head"You can watch him Mother Krisha"He yawns and a tried smile"I need a good rest...likely a couple days rest."   

Krisha smiles again, a nod "I will keep him safe, he can stay by me tonight. Get a couple days rest Log-a-log you likely need it after today's events."   

Log-A-Log nods as he drifts off to sleep knowing his son was safe with the Badger Mother.

Who:

Log-A-Log- Chieftain of GUOSIM

Keldorn- Fighter/Warrior/Cook in GUOSIM

Matilda-Champion of Redwall

LOG:

Log-A-Log had scanned the paths and scanned the river, just slightly but some and no log boats were missing, but there still was the issue of Keldorn being hurt and of course....Seriea, he looked to his friend "Are you being sure you are still not remembering my friend?"
   
Keldorn almost glares at his chief, he speaks in a quiet mon tone "If I knew...I would tell you but there is bits and pieces and...Wilson was there, why would he be there..."He sighs and sits on a fallen log.   

Log-A-Log backs off slightly"I am being sorry...Wilson?" He thinks and nods "Oh yes you mentioned him as friend of family yes?"
   
Keldorn nods "Yes for a long time....I do hope he is not...."He frowns as images seem to flash threw his mind again and he drops to his knees wide-eyed as he seems to remember some of what is said, enough to know that indeed something is going
on.."Wilson...said....words..."He frowns and looks a mix of shock/sadness...then anger.   

Log-A-Log frowns "What words is wilson saying ?" He is wise to keep his distance from the other shrew"Didn't he head on to..colliensel was it?"   
Keldorn speaks, "He said.......Seriea was dead and that I was too....he stabbed me and threw me against a tree!" His head hurts with things flashing back to him now and the only reason he is alive it the only thing stabbed was a thick log book of his recent trips and supply list and that red dye packs that further ruined the log book, course the tree did knock him out fairly good and his shoulder still hurt, though not as much.

Log-A-Log blinks "Wilson is one that killed Seriea?" He frowns and starts to pace a little, he stops "Were you seeing Leigh? She had went herb hunting and all was found was a scarf of her's"   

Keldorn nods, he thinks and speaks "Leigh....yes I saw her..briefly, she had gotten some herbs along the river and I was gonna walk her back to camp when...."He makes a fist "Wilson...there may of been others cause some beast yelled for him to hurry and get back to the boat that they had to leave now, and then I felt myself get throw, hit the tree and blacked out.I woke and my boat was gone and no signs of..anyone just..."He frowns"My..daughter....dead"
   
Log-A-Log frowns and nods.He taps his footpaw "Wilson maybe seems to of joined a bad group...and took Leigh perhaps,but why and where. If they have the boat then up or ...maybe down river?"   

Keldorn says, "I...don't know....he was going up river before this or that was plan, it could of changed but I dont know whay he would..betray me,why wouldhe want the boat that badly or let others take it? ""   

Log-A-Log nods "We can be looking but we have looked some and not seen any boats" But would the shrews of paid much attention,boats and rafts go up and down the river after all as some go to Ferravale market and the woodland market this time of the year   

Keldorn sighs "And its been a couple days."He kicks a stone and shakes his head.   

Log-A-Log watches his friend and gets an idea "Lets be going to the abbey, can not hurt right and...some reason is having feeling good palce to find out maybe or least get help to track down wilson and his not so good new friends, for sure if he has taken Leigh...she is our only healer"   
   
Keldorn nods "I...do not know"He  walks along the road, looking a mix of peeved off and still sad and surprised, its a confusing sort of thing as his temporary memory lost is getting fixed as memories of the night come back, he still has a slight headache but is walking down the road none the less.   

Log-A-Log is sort of jogging alongside Keldorn "Keldorn be slowing down please! I am only able go so fast yes?"
   
As the two shrews walk through the trees they come across a small camp. There is a fire, several bed-rolls, no tents and the Champion of Redwall Abbey. She is sitting with her back to a tree where she can see the Log-a-Log and Keldorn as they come down from the south. "So it's you two, good morning my friends, I have been expecting you."   

Keldorn was not really walking, but sort of slows now and almost trips.He looks a bit, peeved off but calms in front of the champion "Expecting me..fer what?I am sorry I can not stay, I have to figure out where a beast that use to be my friend, maybe never was, went to"
   
Log-A-Log pants and looks around at the camp.He sits down slowly and then tilts his head "Why would champion be expecting us?"He glances at Keldorn and back to the hedgehog "He is in...bad mood...one named Wilson betrayed him but may also know where my missing healer is"   

Matilda tapping her fingers on the hilt of her sword she looks into Keldorn's face for a long moment then shifts to Log-a-Log, "I am waiting for you, because my dreams told me one of my companions would be joining me here today. Dora-Rose and Caleb are both in the woods trying to find the trail... I need you by my side Keldorn, it was your face I saw walking with me on the road..." she points, "I suspect your healer is in the same place I seek, Yesterday, all the dibbuns in Redwall abbey where kidnapped and one of the order murdered... we track them even now."   

Keldorn blinks a few times and walks closer "See...me?" He sounds confused "How is that possible and why me?" He listens as more details come "The dibbuns?All of..them?Wait who was murdered?"   

Log-A-Log listens closely and stays seated "Dibbuns taken? How...and when? Did the guards see where they have gone and yes my healer..Leigh, is missing.She was out getting herbs. I had a beast named Patch tell me another shrew I though missing is in Ferravale..Oswald, least hope he is I do not need two missing shrews to worry on"   

Matilda sighs and shakes her head, "No... this was well planned, the guards and Mother Krisha and her helpers where all drugged whilst the dibbuns where having a camp out in the orchard. The rest of the abbey slept through it all..." she looks toward the trees, "We are hunting for their tracks now, they hid their passage very well but they have a wagon so we are tracking them.   

Keldorn listens " I...seee...intresting, but still unsure why me...wait do they have any clue to where they went?"   

Log-A-Log hmms "So bad beasts were planing this then,but why?" Has to be clues somewhere....wait."He seems to wonder and looks at Keldorn "Maybe Wilson joined the villains?"   

Matilda asks, "Why Log-a-Log? I think that is obvious, because they are slavers and have stolen the children," she shakes her head, "Xander, Caleb and Dora are all out ranging the forest right now looking for tracks... but so far the only traces we have found are of them heading north...." She then looks at Keldorn, "I see two shrews in my party, your face... and a shrew with bells in his hair.... I am afraid Log-a-Log I need to ask you to stay here... the Abbey needs protecting, Benar will need you at his side.... there is danger in the Abbey's path as well with its best warriors absent."

Keldorn nods, he then smiles a little "Oswald...but I do not know where he is." He looks at Log-A-Log and frowns, more of the night by the river floods back to him as he sort of has to sit before he stumbles.He sits quietly and mutters something before speaking"I may know where the slavers ended up but not a direction, that is if they are the same ones Wilson is clearly with that.They killed my daughter and likely grabed Leigh, the missing shrew...I remember she was by the river, I was gonna walk her back to camp and then we seen Seriea....and Wilson and Wilson attcked me, I was knocked out and woke up....my boat was gone"   

Log-A-Log confirms "Yes Oswald has many bells in headfur , he is maybe in Ferravale or back at GUOSIM now, maybe looking for Leigh if he heard she was missing"   

Matilda looks toward Keldorn, "Oswald... he will join us soon," she states confidently, "His feet will lead him too us." she walks over to Keldorn and places her hands on his shoulders, "I am sorry about your daughter... but you must remember, can you remember at all which way thry took your boat? We will not catch them if we go the wrong way."   

Keldorn frowns "I...don't know just other voices saying to hurry up they had to leave and then Wilson saying Seriea was dead and...so was I and he went to stab me and throw me into a tree....I am only alive cause of an old log book I had under my tunic and...a pouch of red ink dry...he must of thought I was for sure dead then.I did not see a direction,I am..sorry"
   
Log-A-Log paces a little "Must be way to know, where would slavers go up or down river?" He tries to think on this as both can lead to somewhere that could very well sale slaves.

Matilda looks toward the trees, "We will find out, there will have been someone who saw them, Keldorn's boat is quite distinctive, if anyone saw they may have gone to Ferravale, if Oswald was in the village he may have heard something." she steps back and sits on a log, "We wait for Dora, Caleb and Xander to return, they may also have found something."   

Keldorn nods "Yes waiting and i do not need to get any supplies, I am fine seeing as this trip looks very important.Lets just hope Oswald is here very soon"   

Log-A-Log nods "I shall go to the abbey then, check on Benar,,,,"He looks worried "Benar is being ok correct? Who was order beast that was slain?"
   
Matilda asks, "He'll find us," the hedgehog turns to look at Keldorn, "Log-a-Log, will you do me a favor? I am leaving the Abbey undefended, please will the GUOSIM go help the Abbot? He should also be requesting help from the Skipper and Blisa, but Benar will need help, he is no warrior." she hesitates then sighs, "It was Sister Ginny, we think she must not have drunk the drugged drink the vermin used and tried to raise the alarm... they killed her."
   
Keldorn frowns"That is....horrible, these low life vermin need found and slain before they harm another beast"   

Log-A-Log saultes the hedgehog and quickly heads off towards the abbey, but first he is gonna get a couple shrews to go with him, keep a couple other shrews at the GUOSIM camp as he is not about to leave the place unguarded. He is then quickly off and into the woods.   

Matilda says, "We will find them Keldorn, we will strike them down for what they have done and return the little ones to Redwall"
   
Keldorn nods "I will help you on your mission, those slavers killed my daughter and it's likely they have other young ones as slaves...maybe other beasts.I am sure someone has seen the boat go somewhere...least hope so."   

Matilda closes her eyes, "We will find them Keldorn, we are all well trained beasts, they cannot elude us forever."
   
Keldorn nods"I know and I am ready to help find them and defeat the slavers. "   

Matilda says, "Thank you Keldorn, for now rest up, we cannot go anywhere until the others return from scouting."   

Keldorn nods as he yawns, a rest would do him so good as he lays down to go to sleep and lets the champion stay on watch.
