Travel with the hares...could be interesting, will think on it. I won't be on much the next 3-4 weeks or so. I will keep an eye on the forums though and see when they post getting to the slavers...seeing as I also play Dearil- the evil marten and 2nd in command of the Blackrose. As for Atvi traveling with them a little while, ...perhaps.

WHOM:

Dearil -ME- 2nd in command of the Blackrose

Atvi- ME-Novice of Redwall, right now Slave of the Blackrose

Kalypso- Leader of the Blackrose

Emersyn- Hare maid and now slave of the Blackrose

Mancio- Badger and seer

some spoofed Blackrose beasts and slaves

WHERE: An Island in the middle of a very large inland lake

LOG:

Dearil walked along the path on the island, he was starting to like this little hidden place, but he did long to head inland, only by doing that could they gather recruits and maybe still have the island as a sort of base. But right now other matters needed spoken of.

Kalypso was enjoying life, the slaves….not so much.

The island used to be a safe peaceful place for a tribe of rabbits and a half dozen otter friends they had. Some huts and a large sort of barn for storage and a meeting area for friends and family. There was the beaches and the lake their little island was on, they had boats to go to and from the mainland if they wished, but they rarely did as they were happy here. There was fruit trees, berry bushes and plenty of fish, wild greens, mushrooms and they had an herbal garden, and even a small area of simple crops to live on, all was at peace till the Blackrose came…..

Their wise leader, the oldest rabbit on the island was killed before their eyes, 3 young dibbuns were killed before they surrendered to the slavers. The slavers burned down their huts and took over the barn and storage area. The Blackrose took over their beautiful caverns and made it a den of slaves. Chained added to the cavern walls, instead of laughter there was now crying and wails of pain to be heard at times ...the otters and rabbits were slaves now, slaves in their once beautiful home.

The slaves were forced to make a wall with a watch tower. Now the area looked like burnt down ghost town, a barn ...and down a small path a cavern entrance, now guarded by the slavers who took over the island.

Dearil came forwards and bowed to the cat, “Master….it seems the island has...visitors”

Kalypso was curious “Oh ...how many? Who is it?” She smiles coldly “Shall I release the pets I found, I am sure my pets will want to make new friends”

Dearil tensed up a little, he was an assassin but these pets of her’s...they made him worry, “Y..Yes master, at once Master”He bows and goes off to release the pets. But first he needs to borrow one of the slaves as he grins and grabs a rabbit, “Your coming with me, we have guests”

The rabbit gasps but goes with the marten as the slaves know to not say no, to say no could easily end in death.

Meanwhile on the beach is a hare maid and short badger, odd fur coloring, he is a badger yes but what one would call a honey badger from a different land over the seas..”I have...no idea what this be Emersyn, maybe it's wiser to not check the island and to head to the other side of the lake and proceed to Mossflower..I sense..danger”

Emersyn just smiles as she finds some shells “ You worry too much Mancio” She hands the badger a pink shell and smiles “Everything is a danger to you ever since that dream of yours…”

Mancio snorts “I feel it was not a dream, there is danger in this area...a black colored flower and its thorns turn to chains and entangle you..there is also darkness, pain , darkness with a small faint light of hope we escape it”

Emersyn shakes her head and ruffles his head fur “Yeah yeah black flowers made of chains ...your strange sometimes”

What they don't know is they are being watched, “Release the pets”

The rabbit whimpers but is forced to obey and opens a small door only to fall into the swirling pool of water and be dragged into the current of the lake. This area used to hold boats, all the boats were burned and destroyed.

Out of the enclosure comes two pike fish and they easily catch the rabbit, a small scream is heard before the rabbit is gone….

“Wot was that?” Mancio says as he has ready his staff.

Emersyn frowns “It..sounded like a scream ...I didn't think others were on this island” She has a long sword as she looks towards the sound, “Ok..maybe there is danger let's go see if we can rid the island of danger” Always the brave one of the two the hare maid is off, her badger friends following her quickly.

The two is greeted with an ambush of beasts! Beasts with the tattoo of the Blackrose

“Capture them, if they resist...kill them!”

Mancio easily slays a couple rats, upon seeing the tattoo he frowns and sort of goes into a trance..”The black...flower” The tattoo even had fancy vine and worse yet sharp looking thorns around a black rose flower.

Emersyn was busy taking care of a weasel and turns to the badger “Hey…”Suddenly a pinch to the arm and she looks to her arm...and falls over, a powerful sleeping dart.

The badger shakes his head and upon seeing his friend he growls and his eyes became a blaze! He fights a path to the hare maid, vermin are knocked out and a couple weasels killed he scans the vermin to see whom is in charge.

That would be Kalypso as she narrows her eyes, she gets out her blade and goes to attack the badger “I ...hate…..badgers!!”

Mancio charges the feline, he has seen the cat in his dream, this is the one who had thorn chains come out of her paws and enslave them, she had others too and he was not letting a slaver stay alive, it was cause of slavers he was an orphan!

Kalypso snorts and slices at the badger, a few hits get in and the badger gets a good one in one her arm and she backs off holding her arm and her eyes narrow, she then smirks “Always wanted a stripdog as a slave...or maybe pet…”A single is given and sleeping darts fired, gonna need more than one for a badger after all.

The hare and badger wake up after a few hours..the hare maid chained to the all, the badger...is chained to a post on a sort of wooden platform used sometimes for meetings or….when the Blackrose want to prove a point

You don't mess with the Blackrose

Dearil being 2nd in command stayed close by and grined at the badger as he woke “Greetings Stripdog, enjoy ya nap?”

Kalpyso walks up and nods “Are all the slaves and Blackrose members gathered and I want the hare maid up front.

Dearil bows to the cat “Yes Master...all is waiting to see what you want to say and do with one of our new guests”

Mancio growled and struggled in the chains, he looked at the feline and marten”I suggest you release your slaves vermin or your gonna have death knocking at your door and death always wins when its looking for its next prize”

Emersyn frowns as she looks up at the platform, she is forced to watch as she glanced around at...slaves ...rabbits, some otters, a couple mice as well, all have fear in their eyes and hopelessness.

Atvi is among them, a vole in his late teen seasons, he is gonna be an adult soon, he frowns why did he leave his home, he should of stayed, he should of stayed home and now he may never see home and his friends again.

Dearil just rolls his eyes but stays quiet, he waits on any orders from his master as he stands out of reach of the badger quietly.

Kalpyso smirks “Oh...well see death came after me...twice and it lost...twice.I don't fear death or anything...so you have a choice, you can be my new slave..maybe a pet or...since you speak of death so freely maybe death”She grins “Can have you in my place ...what's your choice stripedog?”

Mancio takes a deep breath and glares at the cat, he then studied her and speaks “Death comes for you cat and when you meet again, it shall take you...not all guests as you call them are defeated...I see clearly the black flower does wilt at the paws of faces from the past ...death is with them as well...things may see bright and a false sense of..a win...but then the black flower is crushed...never to grow again.It's crushed...roots and all”

Emersyn eas flatten, he was doing that vision thing and it seemed the black flower thing had truth to it, but the rest she worries about.

Atvi half listens as he sits where he is.

Dearil looks to his master and just waits.

Kalpso narrows her eyes “I hate badgers...badgers do not worry me, neither do visitors ...yes death is gonna come…”She steps back “Goodbye stripedog..” A single is given to pull a lever, there was a trap door the badger was on...the trap door was over a sort of pool of water..inside is two fairly hungry pike!

Mancio closes his eyes and seems to accept his fate, maybe he foreseen this as well, but he foreseen other things as well and whatever it was he seen will now never be known as that knowledge dies with him.

Emersyn screams “NOOOOOOOO!!!!!” Her friend, her best friend since they were dibbuns is now gone! They both grew up together and was carried for by an old badgermaid that died of old age so the two young beasts went on adventures ...and now she wishes they never did go adventuring or least to this island, they had plans to see Redwall Abbey and maybe even the famous Badger Mountain on the western shores and now those plans look lost forever.

Kalypso smirks and looks around “Back to work...all of you!”

Slavers and slaves alike both quickly get back to their duties

The Blackrose is not one to mess with

The Blackrose slowly becomes a name to fear once again.

Will the Blackrose grow? Will they spread into Mossflower like the leader wishes?

Stay tuned!!

Let's not forget those slavers also have Atvi...a Redwall Novice so maybe he can be droped back off at Redwall after he is freed. He will be slightly older and not so teenagerish..lot more grow up now but hey being a slave a couple seasons or so will do that.

Inward sea?

You mean that big inland lake?

Maybe around that lake, if thats where you mean, not sure how to get to it...but its on the map...maybe thats where a certain slaver group is hideing now...close to that wooded area by the large lake? They are supposed to be a bit south and east of teh abbey and that area still counts as that or maybe something they run into a little north of that large lake....I know there is a pond and a small underground cavern area of sorts where the slavers are now...they took over a small rabbit settlement.

WHO:

Ewan Benjamin Delaney Tanner Mosswell Jahveri- ME-LP Hare Fighter/Private and Residential Redwall Abbey Hare

Krisha Winters-Badger Mother, AKA Mother Krisha

Cera Dove Collins-Claoked Visiting Haremaid

Some spoofed novices

LOG:

It was harvest time at the abbey and today some beasts were helping pick apples, pears, and some other fruits in the orchards and carefully laying them in crates to later be placed in storage. Ewan is sort of helping, mainly keeping track of how many crates and whats in each crate, he can look at it and know but of course they need to show him the create and what it is and then they can proceed elsewhere.

Krisha took a couple hours off her dibbun duties to help carry things, she carefully lifts a couple crates of pears and goes to make sure they are placed safely in storage after letting Ewan know...yep they are pears and he can count them before she goes to place them in the storage area and will come right back.

Cera has come to the abbey, her cloak over her head so it's hard to tell who she is or...well species either as she watches the beasts from where she stands out of the way.She is quiet and moves aside when a mouse or two pass by her.

Ewan counts a couple crates of apples and one of pears and check writes down the numbers and looks around, he does notice the claoked figure but as long as they dont seem a threat, he is fine

Krisha comes back and smiles "Things seem to be going well so far Ewan and I am sure the abbot is glad for your help with keeping track of supplies"

Cera keeps her distance from most of the beasts here and just sort of frowns under her cloak, maybe it was a bad idea to wander here, she could of so easily just stayed with the kind ferret that found her, a ferret she was worried about as they were..vermin yet..they came to her aid to heal her, well heal her wounds anyways and she could of came here sooner but, it took awhile to venture outside.

Ewan nods "I like being helpful and I am good at this sort of thing."He frowns as he takes an apple from the pear cart and places it with the other apples."This is a busy time."

Krisha nods, she glaces at the cloaked beast and hmmms, "Any idea who the cloaked beast is?" Ok maybe she is slightly worried as most keep the hood down on cloaks in the abbey,then maybe there is a reason, she watches them and nods again to Ewan "It is busy yes"

Cera frowns as she knows she been noticed and slowly edges towards the entry of the abbey.She does get an apple first though.

Ewan shrugs "I...don't know, they so far seem ok....and took an apple"Not that he is worried, its one apple he just makes a slight change on the number is all, its one apple and it's allowed just so no other apples are gonna be ate by someone, well anyone right now.

Krisha says, "Maybe they are hungry.I am going to go talk to them" She walks over and clears her throat for attention, making sure to smile "Hello, welcome to Redwall Abbey, did you need anything?"

Cera adjusts her hood and speaks "I am..fine"She eats some of the apple and speaks again"I don't really need anything that can be..found"

Ewan is a little too far to hear the voice too clearly as it can be loud when beasts are working in the orchards and a couple novices share some sort of funny joke, the hare sighs as he goes to sit down in the shade, they know to let him know about counting carts and apples, and pears and all that.

Krisha says, "Well maybe I can help or our abbot maybe. WOt is it you were looking for, heck maybe Ewan can help you find it as well or is it a beast your looking for?"

Cera frowns"I.."Her ears perk slightly, "Who's ..here?" The name was familar to her as she scaned the orchards and looked back at the badger, then again it could be a name that sounded like her friends name..well he wasn't really a friend as they rarely spoke to one another.

Ewan looks over at Krisha and the figure and tilts his head, well who ever it is they are clearly looking for someone or panicking, he wasn't sure.He stood and walked a little closer, was stopped by a couple otters and noded, ok apples..pears...more pears "Storage"He says quietly and marks amounts down on the paper.

Krisha says, "Well a lot of beasts are here."She studies the beast curious now, is she a....hare?" I can maybe let you know if you are..looking for a certain beast if they are here or not"

Cera frowns "Its..."She notices Ewan but is uncertain of going to close to him "I...."She looks away, no not yet"I need some ...where can I rest?"

Ewan blinks, he knows that voice or maybe he thinks he does as he goes to get closer.

Krisha says, "There is the bunk room and maybe a couple others a guest can use"

Cera nods and just turns and walks off, she can ask where the guest room is and just get some much needed sleep.

Ewan watches the cloaked figure and speaks "Her voice is familiar and I don't...don't know why, why would she be familiar?"

Krisha frowns as she watches her go and shrugs "I..don't know, maybe one of us can check on her later if she is still here, she may of been looking for someone, I don't think she is someone to worry on if anything she seems sad or..just not wanting too many around her as for who she is, don't know..sorry and I didn't get a good look with the cloak but maybe otter or hare or ...she isn't a mouse or vole I know that much size wise "

Ewan nods slowly and shrugs "I..have no clue, ok well for now guess leave her alone, she can talk when she is ready or if not someone can give her some like...supplies and let her know where..where ever is or who ever is"He looks back to where apples and pears are still being put together and walks back over, he said he would help in the orchards and he will finish with that before he does anything else.

***** I decided Vojin didn't really fit in Mossflower anymore, but he does have a happy ending, it's a short log but still good. *******

WHO:

Vojin Longtail- ME-Archer, Warrior

Beth Longtail-Vojin's loving healer/ Crafter wife-Spoofed by Vojin

Victor Longtail- Vojin's 1 season old son-Spoofed by Vojin

Brother Gorvenalus- Recorder of Redwall Abbey and A Healer

LOG:

****Woodland Market Place ****

Vojin had thought a lot on his mess ups, well he was fine with not going to Ferravale, there were other plans he had.

Gorvenalus was on his way back from the woodland market as he promised to get a couple last moment things, he also needed ink and he knew a beast at the woodland market who had a good price on ink so he always went there. He noticed Vojin and nodded “Greetings Vojin,how are you this fine day?”

Vojin turns and nods simplely “I am...fair Brother Gorvenalus, by the way”He starts “If I have done..anything to dishonor you or the abbey I am sorry. I know what I did of...abandoning bests was wrong, I was scared and things seemed...hopeless.”

Gorvenalus nods “Its ok to be scared at times, but you seeked forgiveness and that was wise.” He smiles “Are you coming to the feast? It's today and all are invited”

Vojin shakes his head “No, I don’t think I will, Besides there is one thing I did not share and since I am banished from Ferravale and do not wish, nor think it's wise..to live in the abbey. I will be heading back South and...someone agrees with me” He smiles a little .

Gorvenalus blinks “Who thinks you should? No need to head back, you still have friends here Vojin. You could live in the woods maybe.”

The answer comes soon as a female wildcat shows up carrying a small barely season old dibbun wildcat, she kisses Vojin’s cheek and looks at the beaver “Hello sir” She glances at Vojin “I got our supplies and ready to head back to Southsward dear.”

Vojin smiles,”That's good, I just need to say bye to a friend...Brother Gorvenalus this is Beth, my wife and my son Victor, I meet Beth shorty after I left Mossflower ..she has all her family in Southsward and..it's for de best, we should get there before winter hits, then the further south you go, less snowy weather and I am all for that, it’s...hotter weather but that's ok”

Gorvenalus smiles “Well..congrats on your family Vojin and family is always important. I wish you well in life Vojin.”

Vojin nods and smiles “And I you, but I am sure all will be well and if it isn't some beast will help save the day, just ...not me, as I also am just gonna live life, protect my family when needed...have some farm land”He chuckles but he is serious, he is gonna live on a farm with his wife and child in Southsward.

Beth smiles “Let’s go dear.”

Gorvenalus nods”Maybe you can one day visit Redwall Abbey, we always like returning guests..lets walk as far as the abbey together and chat a little”

Vojin nods and does so, they chat a little and once at the abbey Vojin says any needed goodbyes and slips off with Beth and his son shortly before the feast and heads to his new home...Southsward.

Cool...should be fun

Who Plays who?

Curious as could make it easier to pass messages and not get people mixed up on who plays who or even spoofs who. I know people can spoof a random Novice or in Ferravale a random normal guard. Not sure Head Guard can be spoofed or not...

Anyways I play

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ewan- My main character and Residential Long Patrol hare of Redwall Abbey

Dearil- A new character, a marten and Archer/Assassin/Figher memeber of the Blackrose...right now in hiding so likely won't see him.

Atvi- for now spoofed every so often as yes he was pwiped, he is also a novice of Redwall Abbey...right now he is a slave of the Blackrose
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

THIS IS ALL MY CHARACTERS AND ONLY THESE ARE MINE!

Now only curious as could be helpful in role plays maybe like maybe you have some hares and you know so and so has a fun loving hare and hey they have thier..I don't know..marten on and no one else in that room and here you are with your hare and 5 other hares are connect and maybe you can page them and say hey wanna connect your hare ta jion us.

Also if gonna be out offline is helpful so don't page mail someone twice, just pick an alt...

Maybe rare chance you need to say something important but don't want to always send a page mail, page an alt of their's...

People don't have to list alts, I know some have in part of their profiles and some don't have a forum account.

Also this is useful some someone doesn't make or spoof a character named we will say Bob the rat, then maybe someone has a Bob the rat and gets mad that so and so said Bod did this or done that when he didn't..one reason I usually just say a mouse or a vole..or a rat ect did or said whatever, or maybe just say a guard,novice,order beast ect ect ect

Thats All

WHO:

Vojin Longtail- Archer and wandering warrior

Invar- Warrior Badger

Patch- Spy, Tavern Worker, ale maker,annoying rat

Chieftain Bisa- Chieftain of Ferravale

spoofs: Some personal guards of Blisa, couple other guards

LOG:

Patch was having a bad day and he needed to find Blisa, he sighs hopefully his day wouldn't get any worse.

Vojin woke up in the cell and he wasn't happy at all, he just sat on the cot in here and folded his arms over his chest and muttered to himself on how annoying that rat was and how he should punch him.

Invar has been out in the woods for days since he left Ferravale, he'd thought he'd found a trail but it turned out to be something else. He's only just getting back, lumbering up towards the gates and looking decidedly displeased.

Blisa has been easily found today if only people would be where she is at any given moment! Right now she's actually stopped by the gatehouse to talk to the guards there, Ferdinand, Clarissa, and Valerie accompanying her. The guards on the walltops see the badger coming, and since a couple recognize him, they go to open the gates for him. "You have a prisoner? Who arrested him?" The Chieftain is asking the guard. The Head Guard is busy doing something in her office, otherwise she'd be here talking to the Chief herself.

Patch walks up "Hey...chiefy..umm got news...someone is back, ya wont guess who..ummm also Xander is in the infirm and umm..sort of ..kind of..besides injured has some..his memory seems all...like holes and stuff"

Invar nods vaguely one of the guards on his way in. He's only visited once but at least he didn't cause trouble. His hears perk as he hears a familiar name on his way past the guardhouse. He frowns and looms up behind Patch "Xander's in the infirmary? Wha' happened?"

Vojin groans, he knows those voices, and sighs..well may as well just put up with it, the one beast he treid to avoid he is gonna have to chat with now, wonderful.

Blisa blinks at the rat. "How do you know I won't be able to guess? And what do you mean his memories has holes in it?" She has that sometimes, but it doesn't seem possible to her that someone she knows could have a similar problem. The guards shrink back from the badger and decide to just let the spy handle it. The cat turns towards the cells. "I heard we have a prisoner, so tell me who, exactly, is back as I go to see who's in the cell." Her bodyguards follow her down the hall. She hasn't reached the first cell yet, but she will here in a few moments.

Patch nods and answers the chieftain first, she is more likely to be grumpy.."V..Vojin....and Xander was in a fight with like 10 or more vermin....who he killed, there was like others who got away, but ya wil have to ask Ferro as he was there..Vojin was too. See the vermin had his..dibbun, Xander's that is and supposedly they may still have a couple captives...again ask the other two that were thar, I only repeat wot was told or learned speaking ta beasts"

Invar doesn't look particularly happy himself but he's quiet as he listens until Patch is done, relaxing a little at the news "They found the vermin? Northstar is alright then?" he just assumes it all worked out and curiously looks down towards the cells.

Vojin listens and sighs, "May as well stand up"He mutters and stands, waiting for what ever is to come.

Blisa's reaction is immediate. "HE'S WHAT?!" She storms to the door of the cell, the bodyguards following and looking less than pleased. She stares in at the wildcat, having completely missed everything else the spy had said (Ferdinand caught it all, so he'll remind her later). "VOJIN! How dare you show your face around here without sending a written apology first?!" Her green eyes are flashing with fury, but she's controlling herself....for now.

Patch whimpers and gets out of the way and stays close by though "I helped get him to the cell...."Yeah thank him later. He looks at Invar now and frowns "Umm....no..one reason for the..10..12 vermin fight, and Xander like beheaded some cat, not the leader of the Blackrose though..that's supposedly back and..yeah the cat got away with some other beasts and Xander is awake just injured and..sort of memory loss, not sure how much but hey he remembers who he is and others are..least"

Invar looks surprised when Blisa starts yelling and he watches her go to the cells before Patch's answer draws his attention back. He frowns, confused for a second "No? What do y'mean no? Was she hurt?...They killed her?" He finally reaches the right conclusion and the details of Xander's memory problems just pass by his ears entirely.

Vojin just nods politely "Hello Blisa"He seems calm enough and over hears the rat and hisses"You drugged my drink!!" Ears flat and then perks up again as he looks at Blisa, but doesn't say anything else to her yet,he is waiting to speak.

Blisa is scowling darkly. "Probably because he knew it'd be the only way to get you to talk to me. Why did you just leave without any warning? At least Bandit trained you before he left, and gave me some warning. Why didn't you have the same maturity and respect for me?" Yes, she just called the chubby fox mature. She's not quite ready to feed him to her snake yet, but if he's as rude today as he was the other day in Redwall, she'll get there very quickly.

Patch frowns as he hears the wildcat and and snorts, he then nods "She...died..yeah." He decides to just stay out of the wildcat's line of vision.

Invar looks down, silent and thinking as he frowns at the ground. After a second he takes a deep breath, trying to be calm. He needs a distraction. He heads for the cells whether he's allowed or not. Vojin he recognizes from the other day "Wha'd he do?" he asks, trying to focus on that.

Vojin chuckles "That fat fox..mature? Yeah right...and I had my reasons, this place was..insane at the time, a horde of hundreds were taking things over...the tavern blew up, some places were burnt down...no one seemed to know what ta do....so I left figuring Mossflower was doomed...come back surprised it is still around and guess ya all rebuilt while I was away." He keeps eye contact with her and then looks away "I..was wrong to leave, but I was...afraid. I didn't feel I was..ready to face a horde , Ormaz's horde was large , how DID he get defeated anyways?"

Patch slowly, very slowly seems to edge to the door.He is not sure of staying here or not he did give the needed info right,he could go off as there is the tavern work to do "Am I..needed?" He looks at the door and the group, if he is not needed he is out of here, if he is he can get a message later"Got ta..work at the tavern....and your busy so..see ya"

Blisa refrains from answering the wildcat's question, instead continuing to glare at him as if she could set him ablaze with her very gaze. "So you're a coward. Nothing more. Leaving your comrades in arms to face possible death and enslavement without a leader. I guess suffering really can bring out the worst in us." Ferdinand glances at the badger, obviously not happy at the wildcat's return. "He left Ferravale without any warning. He wath the Head Guard of the city guardth."

Invar grunts and frowns a little at the caged cat "Left when y'had a horde upon y'...I can see why you don't must like him" he mutters "What are you goin' to do with him?"

Vojin says, "I am sure you got a new on by now or would hope so anyways and no I am not wanting my job back, the new one can have it."He looks at the badger and back to the cat "And there is a calico colored cat that was causing issues...seems she left the area now, I did help find her and..."Yeah he didn't do much else really sort of watched the other badger fight and fall over, ok he did kill one beast"I killed a rat that was going to finish off Xander..helped Ferro get him and the...dibbun back here"

Blisa growls deep in her throat. "Yeah, that's probably all you did to help, you yellow-bellied, lily-livered, pathetic excuse of....of a fighter. How presumptuous of you to think I may offer you your job back when I'm not doing anything to possibly release you." Upon hearing the badger's question, a truly wicked smile spreads over the cat's face. "Oh, goodness, we have so many options, don't we? Feed him to my snake, hang him then feed him to my snake, behead him and feed him to my snake, let our Head Guard or the Seer duel him to death then feed him to my snake..." Sounds like if he's not careful, he's going to end up as snake chow, no matter how he ends up leaving this world.

"The dibbun died" Invar suddenly snaps the words out, his voice raising "Did you help with tha' or did you just get your own tail to safety for that fight too?" he growls when he breathes. This was not the distraction he was hoping for. He's having trouble enough staying calm lately never mind this. His eyes flick to Blisa at her plans for the cat but he's just trying not to keep yelling things.

Vojin starts to say he would just offer it cheese but, least he is smart not to let those words tumble from his mouth as his ears flat "I..."He looks at the badger, "It happen too fast to do much...then..."He takes a deep breath "I was not going near a bloodwrath badger, I am not insane..I did help fight a couple of the beasts, others ran off with what I assumed was the leader. I did help the monitor get Xander and...the dibbun back here." Again he resists an urge to be rude, not anger a badger its unwise if you enjoy life.

Angering Blisa is usually a really bad idea, too. She's borderline insane and has a gigantic pet snake. Making her mad is usually unwise. She glances up at the badger, then strokes her chin. "What do you think would be a fitting punishment? Ferdinand's been trying to get me to reduce executions--" "I have." "--and we are staunchly opposed to slavery here. What do you think?"

Invar glares back at Vojin but he fears his own anger more than anyone. He's read all about bloodwrath and doesn't believe he can ever afford to get that angry. He tries to force it back down. He snorts and paces away a short distance, taking Blisa's question as his distraction "He abandoned yer people, they should get a part. Somethin' public then perhaps banishment" he mutters, trying to think.

Vojin stays clam as he looks between them and sighs, "I am....sorry for my actions."He is, and ok he sucks at any leadership role.

Blisa thinks, then smiles wickedly. "Yes....that might be good....I'll talk it over with my advisors. You do remember Nightbreath, don't you, Vojin? I'll go see him now, actually. Until then, you get to stay here in this cell. I'll make sure you get plenty of food and water, no worries. I hope to talk again soon," the Chieftain tells the badger as she walks out the door, seeming to not hear the wildcat's apology, but in reality she's thinking about it as she leaves, her bodyguards following her in angry silence as they go to hopefully talk to the village's Seer....
test

Invar watches Blisa leave and stands there thinking for a moment before he looks back at Vojin. Staring silently for a few seconds before he snorts again and starts to pace, agitated and muttering under his breath to himself.

Vojin watches the badger pace and is quiet for the time being and then speaks " Surprised you didnt show up to fight the beasts...then again."He sits down on the cot now"I didnt plan to stay, the rat drugged my ale....maybe he should be in here"

Invar snaps his eyes back on to the cat with a frown "I didn't know they'd found them, I was out lookin' for the vermin" he sounds annoyed again and paces once more "Maybe y'should just feel bad instead of blamin' the rat" he mutters before suddenly heading for the door "I can't stay here like this"

Vojin just watches him leave, again manages to not say anything rude or..well speak anything tah tcould anger a beast , things would calm down he was sure of it, or so he hoped as he was stuck here weather he liked it or not.

Who:

Vojin Longtail-Me-Warrior and Archer

Xander Winters-Leader of the Mossflower Defenders and owner of Redthorn Tavern

Krisha Winters-Badgermother at Redwall

Ferro- Blacksmith at Ferravale

Thomas-Mouse at Redwall Abbey

*Starts at Redwalll Abbey entry and ends Recovery Room of Ferravale , the recovery room doesnt seem to have a logger but I got the role play from there too **

LOG:

The weather has grown rather oppressively hot as the summer has progressed, and most abbeybeasts choose to stay indoors in the relative cool. One mouse, however, seems to not mind the heat all that much, as he sits on the wallsteps near the main gate, his ever-present walking stick in paw, and appears to be taking a nap.

Vojin steps into the abbey and looks around, the beasts seem to recognize him as not a threat and he is invited inside as he sighs and scans the grounds for some beast and snorts as he goes to sit on the steps, he hasn't gotten much rest the past couple days

Thomas sits up, gripping his stick tighter. "Excuse me... Who's there? I guess I'd dozed off..."

Vojin looks over "Not to worry..I am a friend to the abbey, Vojin Longtail its just...been a while since had a proper visit, I was here a couple days ago..briefly"

Thomas mmms. "My apologies... Welcome to Redwall, in that case... You say you've been here before?"

Vojin says, "Some seasons ago, around the time of the siege I...left a while and recently returned"

Thomas nods his head. "The siege of Marek? I heard of it... That is quite a few seasons ago now..."

Vojin shakes his head "The one where Ormaz had almost gotten in or...well he did get in like a few moments and there was a fight, I heard the Long Patol helped and suffered a great loss, but good won over evil in the end"

Thomas ohs. "Ah, yes... Ormaz... That was only... Last summer, I believe... Hmm... What did you say your name was, again?"

Vojin says, "Vojin Longtail, use to be head guard at Ferravale..they likely have another now, I for now wander around but may help the Mossflower Defenders prehaps"

Thomas mmms. "Ah, Ferravale... That must be why I don't recognize your voice or name... I haven't gone that far north in some time..."

Vojin nods and sighs "I mosty stayed north, not a good place to live though trust me, its cold"

Thomas nods. "Aye, I've been across the bridge a few times... I much prefer Mossflower, to be honest."

Vojin nods "Yes....I was...looking for someone , is your Badgermother around or, busy? If so I can come back though this is...important"

Thomas frowns. "Oz? Or Krisha?"

Vojin speaks "I...heard of Oz's passing, not details...so Mother Krisha is whom I would need to speak to"

Thomas mhmms. "She'd be inside, caring for the dibbuns... It's near lunch time, I think, you can probably catch her then."

Vojin nods "I may wait till after lunch prehaps, then talk to her."

Thomas mmms. "You could talk to the Abbot, too, if you wish..."

Vojin says, "Prehaps, I am unsure..it concerns her mate and..."He frowns now "Daughter....some news mainly"

Thomas seems surprised. "Krisha has a daughter?"

Vojin nods "I think she was adopted"He hmms as he remembers "A badger cub orphaned and rescued, I remember now and her and Xander ended up adopted it"

Thomas had not heard this before. "Is Xander and the dibbun alright?"

Vojin seems unsure how to answer "Xander is in the infirm at Ferravale, he lives but may or may not lose an eye..."

Thomas asks, "And their daughter?"

Vojin frowns, he always hated bad news as he just shakes his head sadly."She...."He frowns, "She died....there was a group of slavers slightly east and north of Ferravale, I don't know where they went. I do know they have like 10-15 less members now...others gotand they had 2 other slaves still, a mouse and a vole with a Redwall novice habit on"

Thomas frowns deeply. "Oh...Oh my... She's not going to take this news well."

Vojin says, "Not mant would take such news well, yet such news is needed to give...unless I have the beast she calls father tell her....he may well do so, I dont know"

Thomas nods. "And so soon after she lost Oz... This is terrible..."

Vojin frowns "I knew Oz..sort of, I was around I just choose to leave at a most...well bad timing, and maybe I should just let..Ferro come speak to her I am not good with such...things"

Krisha steps into view catching some of the talk and walks closer " What is going on...Vojin wot..wot are you doing here I thought you were helping to find my daughter.."She tries to think"Wait..was she found or least the beasts that took her?"

Vojin frowns, great now he has to talk as he is not one to lie "They...were found yes." He stays slightly calm, "Both..though the evil beasts did flee...well half did, the other half of the group died, it was a group of slightly over 30 members...15 now I suppose"

Thomas goes pointedly quiet when Krisha speaks up.

Krisha listens "And? Wot happen...where are they now?" She does notice he is alone and sighs "And where is Xander?...no let me guess tavern?"Ok she has been mad at him but still" Is he ok?Is..Northstar ok?"

Vojin ears go flat, he almost wants to leave now "Ferravale..."He gets out but frowns"Both are..there...maybe speak to Ferro he was, there as well"

Thomas knows how bad this is going to be. "Krisha... Perhaps you should go to see Xander in Ferravale..."

Krisha frowns, she isn't liking this but nods "Alright...I can go to Ferravale, and be back by tomorrow at lunch just need to let someone know"Some time away would be fine.

Vojin nnods "I can escort you there, just in case some not so good beasts are around"

Thomas raises a paw. "I can let the Abbot know that you will be gone..."

Krisha nods "I plan to return by lunch tomorrow, Xander is likely best to talk to."

Vojin nods "Yes just....yes talking to him, we can go now if ready?"

==4-5 HOURS LATER==

Vojin leads the Badgermother into the infirm and frowns "You should....try to relax."Yeah...right, that's good advise.

Xander lays on cot, still conscious and has been for a few hours, he woke briefly, sort of but now he is unconscious again, a bandage on his arm, small one on his leg and on the side of his face, again only this time its worse than earlier. His breathing and heart rate is fine, but he may have a fever that's starting.

Krisha walks in and seems ready to argue but one look at Xander and she gasps, wait how was she able to speak to him if he was unconscious."She watches his chest rise and fall, takes a pulse and slowly turns to Vojin and grabs him by his collar, if she can and snarls...its rare to see her angry but she is and when she is, its best to run."Where is..my..DAUGHTER!!!!"

Vojin fails to run and fails to get out of the way as he is lifted off the floor and ears go flat as he looks into the Badgermother's eyes , he gulps and shakily points a finger at a cot where the still form of the dibbun lies.Few times is the wildcat ever fearful or afraid, right now is one of those rare times.

Krisha drops the wildcat and goes over to see Northstar and right away regrets it"No...no no no..."She looks at Xander and the wildcat and looks ready to pounce him.

Ferro walks in right about now and frowns, he quickly goes to grab Krisha "Krisha...daughter....no, ...do not harm anyonesssssssss....thissssss isssssss not hissssss fault, itssssssss the Blackrosssssssssssssse...whom fled...and no hunting, even I will not....othersssssss can look, if found if not found thissssss issssssss the now.

Xander moves...slightly but still not in very good shape, the healers have helped best they could.He is alive though.

Vojin ears go back and he scoots and bumps into the wall as he frowns, he seems relieved when the monitor comes and speaks, hopefully not angering her more..."I am..s...sorry I failed....things happen so fast , I did prevent the rat from ending Xander's life..sadly the cat's mate ended.....the young ones life..poison on a knife, no one knew till it was too late, the wound was not even deep and it worked..fast, the cat said it was meant for a adult badger not a cub, the cat then got headless and 15 vermin got...slain, the others including the leader got away in the chaos, there was a couple other Mossflower Defenders there but they were unable to help and did go to try and track the others down." He frowns "Xander fell unconscious and the rat started to...end him but I ended the rat's life, then help was gotta from a healer I know who lives close to the river, then Xander and the cub was brought here, it was closer than Redwall"
l

Krisha screams loudly and tries to get out of her father's grip and then just leans back and sobs loudly.

Ferro holds on and then lets go a little as he frowns, his own tears now too."i am..here....pleasssssssssssse...sssssssay sssssssomething"

Vojin keeps his distance, yeah he is not moving right now...anger in badgers is, well it's bad.

Krisha just sobs and turns round to hug Ferro tightly and just sobs more, she sniffs and looks over at Xander and back to them "Is he..is he gonna die? Please...please I...I can't lose him too, I know I told him he lost me...I shouldn't of said that, I ..I was just so...upset with him...please dont let him die, please....please...."She ends up sleeping into sleep, sleep she probably needs right now.

Ferro just holds her and looks at Vojin "I ...fear moving him.....pleasssssssssse get Angela or Gorvenalus...sssssssomeone"He lifts Krisha up and goes to carry her to his den "We will be at my sssssshop....the living quarterssssss....and my sssssshop is close for the resssssssst of today and tomorrow"

Vojin nods "I can do that."He slowly moves from the wall, to the door and frowns. ok that news is out but he decides never again is he bring that sort of news to anyone else.He then turns and quickly heads to the abbey, any healer here can tend to the badger till he gets back with anyone else.

who:

Vojin Longtail-Me-Warrior/archer

Invar- Travelling badger warrior and artist

Patch- Tavern Worker,Spy,Annoying rat

Some spoofs of various village beasts here and there

LOG:

Vojin walks into the area, he looks around and hmms quietly, for now his hood is up and his ID hidden as he looks at the shops and such, a ferret gets in his face to show some sort of ale to which he growls low and the ferret backs off. He makes his way close to the rat and badger.

Patch nods and speaks "Yeah..."And the cloaked beast is seen as he studies them, cloaked beasts are usually trouble and trouble is something he rather avoid today.

Invar is sat on the ground out the way with a lot of drawings and paintings around him he was trying to sell but it isn't exactly going well and it's getting worse as he's looking irritated and stressed out now "If y'have something better than 'yeah' I'll consider it but currently my plan is t'sit 'ere, not attack anything and wait until I get a little trust"

Vojin walks closer and looks at the badger, he doesn't know him but he does know Patch"Relax ya..fleabag"Yeah still dislikes him, as he takes off the hood to show who it is, he seems not worries about the badger but he does study him and then nods "Hello there sir"Well he is polite to the badger at least.

Patch glares and then backs up "Vojin?..What de...."He blinks and snorts"Where de seasons ya been ya just off and wander away, ya go off and ya left at de worse time too...horde beasts still all over, the tavern exploded..yeah thar is a new one but gee..I almost died! The horde all be dead and could of used ye help...nope ya turn tail and leave..some head guard you were"

Invar finally notices the cloaked beast and his hackles raise, he nearly growls at the cat but Patch's reaction makes it clear that they're at least friendly to the village. He lets the rat go on for a minute for he nods back to the cat "Hello" he's still trying to calm himself down and relax so he's half listening.

Vojin snorts "Your not in charge of Ferravale so not gonna explain to you the purpose of my actions Patch" He is curious of Invar "So you live here or just visiting? I lived here...at one time" He seems uncertain if he will again,he does glace at the drawings and paintings a moment.

Patch folds his arms over his chest and mutters, "Yeah yeah...wait till chiefie hears ya back, she still has the snake by the way."

Invar rubs his forehead to try and sooth a growing headache and it takes him a moment to realize Vojin was speaking to him "Hm? Just visitin'. I was told about the place, thought I'd see it" he gestures at the pictures, mostly charcoal sketches and paintings, almost all landscapes but he's been far enough there's a good selection of places "Try an' sell a few things before I move on again" Patch gets a curious frown "Snake?"

Vojin first answers the rat "And it likes cheese...offer it that and move on"He nods to the badger "Interesting drawings, seems you would want to hold on to some for memories of places you have been, they are very good drawings though."

Patch snorts "Yeah...just dump cheese on you"He says and just walks towards where some herbs for cooking is being sold, he might wander back over.

Invar huhs. Snakes like cheese? Who knew. He watches he rat wander off before glancing back to the cat "Oh, I 'ave plenty" he draws his bag over and pulls out a waterproof bag inside it which he in turn pulls bundled up pile of papers. Drawings, tons of them "Someone told me I should 'ave a hobby that involved sittin' quietly and not breaking stuff when I was a kid" there's a lot more rough sketches in the bundle and more pictures of beasts mixed in "Kept up the habit. I can spare some for supplies"

Vojin says, "Always good to have a hobby, have a mix of skills just in case some jobs....well fail" He doesn't go into detail as he looks at some of the drawings, one of a clearing maybe looks interesting or maybe a river somewhere."Drawing...art is a good hobby, can't say I would do it but those who can, all the better."

Patch looks over and shakes his head muttering something and heads back to the tavern or least that direction.

Invar is finally starting to relax "Well my usual job, if y'can call it that, of wandering where I feel like and jumpin' into trouble when I find it doesn't put food on the table very often" he chuckles quietly "Y'can find a lot in the woods but sometimes it doesn't hurt t'ave a few coins to yer name" he offers a paw "Name's Invar, heh, Invar the lost...Well, y'welcome to any if y'want one. I can do portraits too, I have t'figure someone around here will probably want a picture of themselves on a wall"

Vojin arches an eyebrow at the lost, "Lost?.."He does shake his paw "Vojin Longtail use ta be..head guard here, likely not again and ye never know someone may want a picture of them selfs, or sumthing....drawing of like woods or river is just as good..more simple"He needs to find a home doesn't he, he for now isn't worried about it as he looks around and again to the badger "Its been a while since I been here."

Invar shrugs "Badgers always seem to be things like Bluestripe the Wild, Boar the Fighter, Urthstripe the Strong. Lost seems t'be more fitting. I don't know, I said it as a joke once but it keeps comin' back to mind" he glances back to the beasts wandering around the market "Well it seems peaceful enough so it's probably a safe bet the guards are still workin', whether they've put someone else in charge or not" he glances down to the paintings and picks up one of a clearing with the sun shining down on a big boulder "Well here" he offers it to the cat "Simple picture as a reminder of simple times. Probably something we could all use from time to time"

Vojin nods and gets out some coins, he is unsure how much to give though and maybe gives just a little over as he nods looking at the drawing once taken "Yes peace is good and ..well its been almost 4 seasons..5 maybe so yeah likely got a new head guard,makes since. Have to always be on alert for troubles still or else peace don't last"

Invar raises a paw at the money "Y'don't have to, I'm basically trading them for what beasts feel like. Might not make as much but seems best to attract a little business and not everyone has the coin to spare" he shrugs "At least it seemed best while everyone's a bit wary of the unknown badger in their mists" he nods to the talk of peace and trouble "I wander aimlessly but the one thing I can always be sure to find eventually is trouble to throw myself in to"

Vojin nods "Tis fine..I have enough coin for myself. And I am hoping peace lasts for a little while at least, not sure how long I will stay...may wander back to the abbey and come back in a few days as not sure on every beeast feeling on me...well wandering off at a bad time, I did though"

Invar accepts the coins then and tucks them away in to a pocket before he shrugs "Well, there's not much y'can do to undo wha' yah did. If you decide to stay all you really can do is face whatever consequences it had and try to make up for it. What's done is done. What you do next is up to you, eh?"

Vojin says, "Yes...true..and I could care less of the rat, he...is annoying but at least he isn't on some evil one's side...that rat would last likely an hour..a minute maybe in a horde"He chuckles at the thought."

Invar grunts as he finally looks back at the painting he was doing of the market, he's sat surrounded by paintings and drawings he's trying to sell "I can live with annoyin'. Anything that keeps them out of the hordes is a nice change. This whole place is just vermin living normally. It's weird but y'know, in a good way"

Vojin says, "The village has its peace treaty with the abbey...Camp Willow is a bit...unsure of here, but they don't go sending otters here and not like the village goes near the place. I wouldn't say its..safe for just any beast to walk around here, they could get robbed..some, but the chieftain keeps things in fairly good order and yeah most just keep to them selves, hmmms I wonder if the same Blacksmith is here or that fat fox"

The wildcat looks around some more and heads off towards Redwall Abbey

==Much Later like maybe a couple days later==

Patch is cleaning up some tables and sighs at a ferret "Be careful with those plates...good grief this running a tavern is annoying sometimes" He goes back to the back to check some supplies and nods "We still got good amount of October Ale..not many drink it...they likes other ales, hee hee"

Vojin walks inside and speaks "I like October Ale, its good stuff"He sits down "Though need that fire and ice if its still around"

Patch looks over and frowns "You came back I see."He gets the ale and sits it down after he gets the coins and crosses his arms "So clearly you didn't run inta chiefy,that or the snake wasn't hungry..ya gonna say why back?"

Vojin sips his ale and yes he pays the needed coin "I will just promise it cheese bubs or something cheese relate and I have yet to see Blisa, who says I want to, they likely replaced me or I assume they did...and I can come and go as I please unless Blisa herself says I am unwelcome, then and only then will I go elsewhere."He looks around "I like the new tavern"

Patch rolls his eyes "Could just dump a bucket of liquid cheese all over you and say here ya go Basil.. gift" He grins and just sits down "So...why the strong drink fer?"

Vojin snorts at the cheese all over him idea, "A fight...Blackrose but they...got away, but maybe 10..or more of her band was killed by Xander, but not before....they slain someone else, plus the slavers have a mouse maid and what appeared to be a vole...the vole had on Redwall novice outfit, seemed..familiar somewhat."

Patch blinks "Somone..died? Ok who died now, some leader..someone important? Was stripy hurt..wait is he dead?"

Vojin answers "The dibbun..died, Xander is in the infirm here in Ferravale, cant say he is...fine but he is alive..no one else but Blackrose beast were killed"

Patch tries to think "Dibbun?"He then frowns" The badger cub ?"

Vojin finishes his ale and nods a simple yes, "She had managed to get away from the slavers but we didn't get to her before she was killed. A blade made a cut, not deep at all, normally would of been fine, but it had poison on it, I think they hoped Xander or maybe the monitor got in the way to block it, but they didn't manage to get to her in time to block it and as I said it seemed a simple nick to the shoulder...and things happen within less than a minute...it was too late, she was dead"

Patch frowns "Poison...seen its work before..some quick, some slow...that one sounds like blood contact....the chieftain before Blisa, her father Scioto..someone placed a slow working poison in his drink, he had drank most of it before he figured it out and of course..too late, that and the vermin involved locked the office, the witness was a beast in the cell who told them what happen, not sure what happen ta that beast from the cell, think he was able to leave Mossflower, which he did...he was smart that one"

Vojin says, "I was here after Scioto....remember so I know what happen to him,who killed Ormaz by the way?""

Patch says, "Marek...they were fighting in the bell tower at the abbey and Marek like...shoved his brother off and went down with him, both died and most of that horde were taken out by de Long Patrol and their badger lord but like 80% of the long patrol were killed...so the badger lord and the hares he had left went back home, oh and Zolomon joined de long patrol, odd but hey..."

Vojin says, "Intresting"He sighs as he stands "I will...be at Redwall, good day Patch"

*** I have the cloaked figure with the longbow...yeah ya get to see whom it is by the end, he's....been away...yeah..***

WHO:

Cloaked Figure-Me

Xander Winters- Leader of Mossflower Defenders

Northstar Winters- Daughter of Xander,Dibbun

Mudjaw-Ferravale Guard

Rubblethorn- Ferravale Guard

Kalypso-leader of the Blackrose

-Spoofs over various evil vermin

LOG:

Kalypso was exiting the Black Gull, with her is the two foxes she seems to have a round, also exiting is 2 rats and a ferret as she grins, seems she has recruited.”Oh trust me, I aim to make the Blackrose truly remembered.”

A cloaked figure watches from the side of the road, a longbow and arrows over their shoulder as he mutters “Blackrose?” Seems they are familiar with that name and so they follow the feline and her friends.

Rubblethorn was walking along the dirt road, he may be a guard for Ferravale but he can still go on a walk outside the city and in the woods, right now he is near the bridge along the road that's just after the turn off to the path to Ferravale.

Xander was walking back from Ferravale, at his side his daughter”So, your visit with your grandfather went..well?” He looks around and frowns “Only wish he had come along as well.”

Northstar smiled “Why you so worried Daddy..”She giggles and does a cartwheel, she smiles again”And yeah....he is gonna make me a sword when I turn 6 seasons, wont that be neat? And you and him could teach me to use it”

Kalypso ears perked up at...voices and not just any voices as she singled for the ones with her to hide as she scanned the path and her eyes narrow “If it isn't the stripedog and...oh how intresting”

Also around a cloaked figure, who watches from the sidelines and has their longbow and arrows ready, but are they friend or foe, that remains to be seen.

Rubblethorn frowns as he catches a quick flash of color “Mudjaw...what did de cat look like again?”

Mudjaw comes closer”Calico....had two foxes with her at the time...why?”

Xander sighs “Well...we can see,,maybe be a novice or..who knows maybe one day Badgermother....though rather that be any future dibbuns of yours becomes Badgermother or their dibbuns...”

Northstar chuckles “Daddy...I not gonna be married...and boys are yuckie”Sighs no badgers her age for miles and miles as she smiles at the side of the path seeing some wildflowers “May I pick wildflowers for table decorations daddy....please, its still light out and its just over there”She points to a small area off the path, yes she can be seen from where he is at.

Kalypso grins, the fox asks “What is it...the dibbun?” She nods “Yes..something tah twas rightfully to belong to Ormaz..but it was assumed she died with her mother....guess she did not, Hanzi mentioned it..course I didn't believe him, he always seems to be seeking to take over my leadership....word of advise he found out it was unwise as he got stabbed in the back...literally and died.”The fox frowns, not that he had plans to try and be leader, he was happy with being a sidekick and bodyguard.

The cloaked figure tries to listen as the two speaks and sighs, ears flatten agasist their head. He spots the dibbun and, he moves a branch a little, the other badger....interesting.

Rubblethorn frowns “ That the cat from the tavern?”

Mudjaw frowns “This is not...good...it might be, not sure..come on” He singles to try and get closer to
Kalypso and get a better look at her.

Xander smiles at his daughter and manages a chuckle as he sits down on a log, there had not been any trouble so he figured it was ok to relax, he was just too worried.”Stay within my sight Northstar”

Northstar nods and goes to get some flowers, orange and white ones and some with black lines in them and smiles

Kalypso smirks”Surround her...”She nods to the rats and the ferret and one fox, the other she grins “Come with me...”She says quietly and smirks, she gives no warning, no hello, not even a hiss as she appears and right away is attacking Xander!

The cloaked figure frowns and draws forth a arrow but also frowns, he can't fire it and accidentally hit the badger.

Mudjaw frowns “Oh no..we gotta help!”

Rubblethorn right away and heading to the dibbun to try and hold off any evil beasts.

Xander gasps as he barely catches movement out of the corner of his eye and rolls to the side, the cat's blade cuts into his arm some, he draws his own blade and slices at the cat!”YOU!”

Northstar looks up at the sound of her dad's yell and drops the wildflowers she has collected and goes to hide behind a tree, no way she is staying near fighting, she looks at the tree and starts to climb it.

Kalypso grins “Yes it's me....and I have friends!” She says something else and the fox appears, along with a couple beasts also her friend it seems, two other foxes and some sore of ..wolverine

Meanwhile the dibbun is climbing that's nice, but the stoat can climb as well as a fox with a longbow who fires an arrow at her, to scare her and maybe cause her to fall, not so much hurt the dibbun. A ferret also heads towards the dibbun another side of the tree.

Mudjaw comes to the aid of Xander, blade out “Ya look like ya need some help to defeat this feline”

Rubblethorn goes to stab the ferret before it has time to climb too far”Take that ya foul one...not nice to try and harm a wee lass”

Xander nods to Mudjaw and blocks one move and frowns...oh great a wolverine “Why a wolverine..why”

Northstar screams and the arrow barely misses her but it does cause her to lose her balance and fall, lucky not too far up but she does knock herself out when she falls, she will be ok...just sore.

The stoat jumps down and quickly scoops the unconscious dibbun up and heads towards the bridge, he can likely lose the helpers by the river.

The wolverine snarls and swipes at the badger and then spins and attacks Rubblethorn.

An arrow fires out of no where, tight towards the cat once there is an open shot to be had.

Kalypso chuckles and tenses up as an arrow buries it self into her shoulder, she growls and claws out swipes at Xander's face!! She turns, oh good the stoat has the brat as she grins and nods to the wolverine”Have fun....”And to the others “Retreat...!”

Rubblethorn slices at the rat and ferret and almost stumbles backwards when the stoat jumps down, he cusses and gives chase.

The fox following his leader, Kalypso , first fires an arrow at Rubblethorn and then goes to follow Kalypso .

Mudjaw frowns “Ok we have two archers!”He ducks the wolverine and tries to stab at it and frowns , the fox archer “Rubblethorn outta the way !!”

Xander screams as the claw goes across his eyes, it gets his right eye and part of his chin and forehead, He has blood going down his face but he wipes it away, kicks the wolverine and goes to follow the cat “Get back here!!!”

The cloaked figure frowns, well this is not a good thing, he finds an arrow, aim...waits...fires at the wolverine!

Kalypso manages to get away, just barely as she swings a blade at Xander again, the wolverine goes to try and tackle the badger as he cross the bridge! The cat uses a possible distraction to flee.

Rubblethorn is hit with the arrow, from fox and falls face down onto the path, the arrow clearly in his back and he is also clearly not moving

Mudjaw quickly rushes over “Rubble!” He goes to check a pulse and frowns as he tries to find one and pay attention to what is going on as there is still a wolverine and some other archer.

Xander slices and stabs at the attacking wolverine, jumps onto the bridge and beheads the weasel that slices at him, the wolverine then gets a lucky tackle it in sending the badger backwards into the rushing river!His blade falls from his paw , onto the railing and balances there.

The wolverine snarls and gets hit in the neck with the arrow from the cloaked beast and also falls into the rushing water, the water makes it crash into the side of the bridge, finishing it off, well...wolverine is dead.

The cloaked figure rushes to the railing of the bridge and scoots the blade to fall onto the bridge and takes off his cloak, arrows and longbow, he is a wildcat! He looks at the two guards”Stay” He dives into the water and swims towards Xander.

Rubblethorn is dead, some blood trickles from his mouth and wound.

Mudjaw feels tears form and jumps when he sees the wildcat and lays a paw on his blade, he blinks “Stay...wait ya not me boss...”He lays Rubblethorn down and looks over the bridge railing and frowns, maybe the wildcat is on their side, he hopes so anyways.

Xander is a very poor swimmer and there is some fast moving water, he ends up sinking and resurfacing once, sinks again and this time stays under the water!

The Wildcat dives under and goes to grab the badger, the wildcat is strong and starts to pull him towards the shoreline by the bridge and draw him further onto the shore and examines him.

Mudjaw walks over, carriyng his friend Rubblethorn “Rubble..tis ..d..dead.”He looks and frowns “He isn't dead too..is he?”

Xander looks...dead, at first and then a gurgle and vomiting of water, a shiver and cough as he groans...”North...Northstar...”He focus on the wildcat and blinks as he focuses, a snarl and then he gets a better look “WOT..?” He starts to get up.

The wildcat makes him stay put “You almost drowned, your injured..you need a healer, lucky I have learned some healing since I....been away”He looks at Mudjaw and frowns, he speaks “We can track the evil beasts...but first, Xander needs help”Oh he knows the badger. He will go to get the blade, its a little heavy for him as he sits it down and makes a campfire.”Ferravale is closer....though I do know a healer close by...grumpy old, foul mouthed hedgehog, but he is a healer....I will be back” He stands, he has placed temporary bandages on the badger.”Then maybe we can get him to Ferravale or ..abbey be best”

Xander groans as he looks at the wildcat..”Your....”He passes out, yeah worn out and the injury, this could be a long night.

Mudjaw frowns “Wait who are ya, who this hedgehog? How ya seem ta know Xander...and what we supposed ta just sit and wait on your furry behind?” Grumpy much himself?

The wildcat turns and nods “You will wait, I will return..the hedgehog is an old hermit who refushes to even tell me his name but he will help....”He turns to head off”And my name is Vojin Longtail.”He then heads to the road and is gone, yes he does return with the healer hedgehog, and come morning they will get to the abbey.

Who:

Ewan Benjamin Delaney Tanner Mosswell Jahveri-Me- LP Hare Fighter/Private and Residential Redwall Abbey Hare

Xander Winters- Leader of Mossflwoer Defenders

LOG:

Ewan only came out of a request to come, normally he doesn't like taverns, though this one was one of the less likely to have trouble, well usually.

Xander is sat at one of the booths, still a bit tried, he looks up as he sees the hare and sighs"Hey Ewan."He frowns"I might need to recruit some new members for the Defenders, since the group is still small and Keldorn left or is leaving to be a novice At Redwall and I am fine with that"

Ewan nods "I heard Keldorn is gonna be a novice, I even made him a copy of the charter to study...ummm maybe I can help, but why?"

Xander frowns "I am not for certain but...someone may be starting the Blackrose back up and the only one who may of seen the possible tattoo..was killed"

Ewan ears go flat as he frowns "That...would be bad. lets hope it is not..anyone else maybe see the tattoo, if there..was one?"

Xander says, "I don't know. Its possible someone...besides Hawkeye seen it..I need to find out whom else was at the tavern..I know of at least one guard, Mudjaw think his name is""

Ewan says, "Then like...ask him maybe or see if Blisa knows anything"

Xander sighs and nods"Ok lets just...get to the abbey, sides I need to find Crevan, also need to ask Krisha something"

Ewan nods as he stands "Abbey is good" He frowns "Is..Hawkeye...dead?"

Xander nods as a tear falls "He's dead....and maybe I could have prevented it somehow."

Ewan says, "Or got killed, or taken away or got him slain..if it was a slaver they can be unpredictable in their actions"

Xander sighs "I know and do not worry I wont take a risk, I only did that once in my life and most likely got very lucky."

Ewan says, "W..when was that?"

Xander explains as they head out"A long while a go when a beast named Quade was around, an insane squirrel who tricked a lot into thinking he was a good friend"

Xander says, "Quade....captured Benar and this was also around the same time as the Mossflower Defenders first was starting....Zolomon and..think was Flea or..someone sneaked in, I was worried and went in to told them we were getting out of there before we were seen""

Ewan nods as he listens

Xander says, "Then I am told that some fox with a large ax was gonna behead Benar...it was one of those act now..choose now and I choose to follow the fox,knocked it out..we barely got Benar out of there and ran, I lost track of Benar and of course panicked, heard a noise and went into the woods to see Markalaway..he had shown Benar the path to his hut and then I went there too, if it wasn't for him its possible that day could of ended up badly...not that I...lets just say Markalaway hut is creepy, very creepy and so is the path to it""

Ewan nods he knows who Markalaway is "Yeah...but less likely to think the Abbot there, he was safe till you could get him to the abbey and you clearly did that...sometimes we do have to make quick choices like that, and even if we don't like it, we have to and ...yeah . I am sure other leaders have had to make a quick choice also"

Xander says, "I know and I have gotten better at being a leader"He looks around"I got advice from Lord Ciocan even and found out he wasn't perfect when he first started either and that no one is..even with seasons of being a leader, still no one is perfect""

Ewan says, "We all learn from past actions"

Xander nods "Yeah, I know. We learn from good and bad times, like I learned how to time cookies better so they wouldn't burn, also that too much baking soda , even a little , makes a mess...that is not always easy to clean...I can still make cookies but I tend to stick to pottery now"

Ewan says, "I should learn something else, not sure what...tried making scones once and was told they might be good for throwing at vermin cause they were like rocks""

Xander manages a chuckle now and smiles a little"I need to make like 3-4 plates..sort of broke 3 of them at the tavern, Patch got my attention or, lets just say its possible more would of been broken, lucky only 3..or maybe 4...was out on a table. But I am good at pottery now."

Ewan nods as he smiles"I like to read, study maps, write...but a sort of craft might be good too"

Xander says, "Maybe make maps or something....and I want to stop by the river"

Ewan nods "Ok...why?"

Xander answers "I want to get some clay, that way Benar don't need to worry about it"

Ewan nods "Ok...we can stop by the river, it will be ok"

The two beasts walk to the riverbank and stay a couple hours before deciding to stop.

Xander has managed to get some clay and it's been a little relaxing also and smiles a little "Ok lets get to the abbey, you ready Ewan..sides may be in time for dinner if lucky"

Ewan nods "Dinner is always important, then any meal is very important...let's go"

-spoofed Tavern Beasts, a couple spoofed hares

LOG:

Keldorn ventured back into the tavern with a frown, he would of been back last night, but well bar fight and it wasn't, ok it was his fault as he looks around and frowns scaning the room as he walks in and sighs.

Over at one table is a couple shrew, a middle aged one and one of maybe just out of her adolescence seasons as she rolls her eyes "Really mother, I rather not go on some boat ride, sea travel makes me ill. I also rather not go to that stupid school" The mother shakes her head"Its better than most, trust me and this place ...is not for ladies to be"

Keldorn was about to walk out when he catches sight of the two shrews and slowly walks over, he at first keeps his distance and then walks over, "Aaricia...."He seems unsure of the younger one but,,"Sereia?"

Sereia looks over at Keldorn and arches an eyebrow "Ummm....who are..."And she is interrupted by her mother who just stares at him, studies him and frowns "Keldorn..."She looks at her daughter "He is no one dear just someone who can leave" Wow..touchie isn't she?

Keldorn frowns, he doesn't go away though he stays where he is, at first trying to find the right words and not letting the wrong ones come out."No..I..I came to see if you were here Aaricia ..you and..."He frowns at the reply, he takes a deep breath, its been way too long, she was just a dibbun when he...left "I'm your ...." He seems to think, bad idea just leave and stay gone, no this is important, he needs to do this.."Your father..."

Quinten strolls in from outside, a light cloak wrapped about his shoulders and his uniform immaculate as always. He nods to the barkeeper and waves to a few other patrons, including the shrews and gives a long look at the group of privates at a table who all sit up a bit straighter as the general passes. He then hops onto a barstool and smiles as he places an order for lunch.

Sereia frowns as she looks at her mother "You said he was dead" And Aaricia stands and glares "Leave...and he may as well been, he left, his stupid so called honor and..knightly ways were more important, his hunt the evil and protect this beast or not beast..keep a promise to serve and protect..go back to where ever it is ya live or are ya a wander still, well wander away..far away"

Keldorn doesn't see Quinten yet, maybe that's good for now as he frowns and steps back, he then speaks "I am not a warrior or knight anymore, I don't even have my blade..it is by now melted down..."He blinks at the words "You told her I died?"

Quinten accepts his drink and his meal, his long ears laying flat, he can very much hear the argument happening over by the shrews but well he is staying out of it unless called upon.

Aaricia just seems to care less"Yes I did...why are you here? And don't just say looking for me...well ya found me so leave and knowing you your just get another blade, why have a beast melt one down..for what reason" She looks to her daughter"We are leaving soon if he doesn't"

Keldorn stands quietly, he resits the urge to grumble and speaks after a short while "I came to ask for forgiveness...it was wrong of me to leave and not return, I was...too caught up on knightly duties and..some kept me from returning but I do return now, to say sorry..to ask forgiveness if I can, this was important to do before I laid aside my life as a warrior, to be a novice at a place called Redwall Abbey in Mossflower, you and Sereia could return with me, you would love Mossflower"

Quinten twitches his ears as Keldorn declares he's signed up as a Novice of Redwall Abbey, he turns in his chair and stares at the shrews, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Sereia listens and asks "Whats Redwall?" Her mother , again could care less and just glares "Forgiveness?....Really..and ya laid aside the life..."Yeah she don't believe him as she picks up her ale and just looks at Keldorn, dumps the ale on his head and hmmphs and leaves, however the daughter stays and looks at Keldorn and watches her mother just walk out and at first follows her, then mutters something about helping Mac...whom ever Mac is and walks back inside and stops a short distance away, seem Mac is a ferret who lets her help him stock the backroom sometimes but he doesn't need help today and she knew that.

Keldorn tenses up a little as ..well now he has ale all over him and slowly just sits down in a chair and looks at the floor, he wipes away treating tears.

Quinten picks up his meal and drinks, procuring another from the bartender and strolls over, "So novice Keldorn," He sits himself down, "Sounds like you have been having quite the day of it," He pushes the fresh drink in front of the shrew, "Here get some of this in you"

Sereia walks over slowly and just stays off to the side, she seems to be trying to think, looks at the door and back to Keldorn."Are you...really my father?" She knows what his name is but seems so unsure, why would her mother lie to her.

Keldorn frowns "I am..not yet a novice till I say the charter by memory to Abbot Benar..maybe I don't deserve to be..one"He looks at Sereia and frowns, a single tear"I am...you were..barely walking when we last seen one another..I am so very sorry"

Quinten says, "If you are joining the order then you are as good as a novice," He leans back in his chair and nods, "But it seems your daughter wishes to speak to you."

Sereia is curious still"Novice?" She frowns, least she isn't yelling or pouring ale on anyone's head. She starts to hug him but stops as she backs up"I should..get back to mother..in a few minutes."

Keldorn nods at the hare, he listens to Sereia "It's..a novice is a beast whom lives the life of peace, no weapons..."He smiles a little "To be Brothers and Sisters of peace and goodwill, living together in harmony under the protection of Redwall Abbey, forsaking all unnecessary forms of violence, not only to Mossflower, its trees, grasses, flowers, and insects, but to all living creatures. To help and comfort the dispossessed, harbor orphans and waifs, offer shelter to all creatures alike, give clothing, warmth and food to any beast or creature that is deemed in need of such. To educate and learn, particularly in the healing arts, comfort the sick, nurse the injured and help the wounded. To take our food from the earth and replenish the land by caring for it, husbanding crops and living in harmony with the seasons always. To honor and protect our friends and brethren, only raising paw to do battle when our life at Redwall is threatened by treachery and the shadow of war at these times every Redwall creature should show courage, fortitude and obedience to the Father Abbot. Albeit the taking of another life must always be justified and never carried out in a wanton manner."

Quinten leans back and smiles, "Sounds to me like you are almost a Novice, if you can say all of that from memory Keldorn"

Sereia listens , "That sounds..." And a frown as her mother is back and she quickly heads off to be with her, she looks at the hare and Keldorn again and then disappears out the doorway.

Keldorn watches her go and sighs "I am hated Sir Quinten...least by her mother, I am not sure of Sereia. My heart is heavy and I only seeked forgiveness for leaving them..it was wrong and I am a horrible father and even worse mate"

Quinten asks, "Sir? That's nice... but I am no sir, you can simply call me Quinten, and you may be outside the heart of the mother, but your daughter at least was intrigued, she wanted to talk to you more."

Keldorn says, "I am use to calling most..sir, habit perhaps."He sighs "I spoke true..my blade I gave to your Lord to have melted down into something of value..something good..what ever that be he can choice. I have my dagger but not as a weapon..I no longer wish to lay a paw on a weapon again"

Quinten asks, "I heard, it can be a hard path you are walking, to give up the route of the warrior, few can manage it, but I can tell you of one beast I know who has done what you are doing, if you care to hear the tail?"

Keldorn nods "I am curious"He finally gets the drink he was offered and takes a few sips, he is still a bit upset but, less so now but he is of course listening to the hare.

Quinten smiles at the hare, "He was a young soldier from southward, he worked as a supply corporal but he saw his fair share of combat with his squad, he was an archer, he wielded a short sword and a buckler and in his tour of duty he even took the lives of vermin who would threaten the land he was sworn to protect."

Keldorn nods as he listens "I..have killed many vermin as well, some perhaps I could of let go....but I just saw them as..evil beasts..."He frowns "I have..learned..slowly not all vermin species are pure evil, now some are to be watched...but not all are..out to harm others..a stoat I meet was..fairly good, though I know a rat whom is..I am uncertain of..seems he changes his mind often"

Quinten nods his head as he listens, "It is a hard lesson to learn, not all vermin are evil and not all woodlanders are good, some of them are downright worse then the vermin sometimes... but I digress, this soldier, he left Southward, he travelled north and entered Redwall. His sword is now several implements and tools that are used to manage the orchard and herb garden, his bow he snapped himself before a small crowd and it was a very good long bow."

Keldorn says, "Sounds like he was..brave to do this, a most noble beast..honor bound and wise."He sighs "I am not too sure how honorable I am, I am trying and same as him..I did have my blade to be melted down into something that is to not be a weapon...something to be treasured and not feared was my request."

Quinten smiles softly, "This beast joined the Order of Redwall many seasons ago, as a novice he worked in all parts of the abbey, as a Brother he managed the orchards, tending the trees and seeing to it that the abbey had plentiful fruit each year," he leans forward and smiles, "Never, even when the abbey was under threat of violence, vermin attack, kidnappings, never once has he lifted a hand in violence to another beast, his sword was gone, even when fully justified by the charter to defend himself he would and does no harm to others." He smiles and sips his drink, "As Abbot of Redwall Benar continues this even now, he is the Charter as it was written, he stands as a bulwark of peace surrounded on all sides by a tumultuous world, so look to him for your example Keldorn and you will find the order will embrace you in ways you could not expect."

Keldorn blinks "Benar?" He sounds surprised and takes a long sip of his drink. A small smile "Maybe then...their is hope for me to be a novice and one day Brother of Redwall..I will be heading back soon, and even now I do not plan to touch a weapon again in my life..I want a life of peace..."He looks to the door and back to the hare "Some..company would be nice, but I will not force anyone to come with me..their choice not my own"

Quinten smiles, "Yes that surprises most beast, but Benar was a warrior, a soldier, a free spirit who roamed the forests North and South and everything in between but now he is Abbot of Redwall and probably the most saintly figure in all Mossflower... as for company, do not force it, your daughter knows you are alive now she will come talk to you in time."

Keldorn nods and frowns "The warrior life was...lonely..hard at times, I kept thinking its for the best..I am protecting others...make a promise and keep it cause of honor and duty..no time for..."He frowns "Family....but a friend..he has a wife and young daughter and always seemed to take time for them and still be a leader in defendering Mossflower...taking time for friends...I never had many friends and never spoke of my past to no one, they would ask I would say I do not want to speak of it or I would change the subject...what would the few friends I have think of me if I told them of my past...of not being a loner and having a mate and child but...walking out of their lifes....till...today when I seeked them out for , for forgiveness"

Quinten says, "You can ask for forgiveness, but you must let them decide to give it but you are not the first warrior, nor will you be the last to struggle to separate their family life and being a warrior."

Keldorn says, "It is..hard yes." He finishes his ale "I am surprised to see you outside the mountain, I heard you seem to..live in in your library"He chuckles and smiles a little, feeling some better now"I am likely heading back to the Abbey in a couple days..."He nods as he remembers something "Your Lord also mentioned something about speaking to him before I left.....he mentioned it when I gave him my blade to melt down" A quiet pause as he thinks " I only wish I had not brought sad news from the abbey that day, I don't know what was in the letter...I just delivered it when Silverwings brought it to me..since I was heading this way at the time""

Quinten says, "Alas we cannot always deliver good news and I do have a reputation for being in my office, but i get out for a run every morning and move around the mountain and the shore quite a bite. It's a myth I never go out, I think a lot of recruits hope it is true so I don't catch them up to things."

Keldorn chuckles,"Like the recruits whom got in trouble but a couple days ago..in ledge with the DAB or so I was told they were called....made dinner late by an hour."

Quinten says, "Well the DAB are just a thing we have to put up with, most of them soon grown out of it and those that do not soon regret not growing up.""

Keldorn chuckles "It was....well funny afterwards, not so funny when was happening....though hearing hares thinking it was the end of the world cause dinner was 2 hours late was..sort of funny

Quinten says, "Yes I heard there was a ruckus in the dining hall the other day, bally uncivilized of them all wot."

Keldorn says, "Yes...two recruits helped the dibbuns...but it was cleared up"He chuckles a little "But you have to love them...the future of the LP after all..already seems well organized but lets hope they focus on other important things like missions once recruits or privates and still work together for that"

Quinten says, "Indeed, it is always nice to watch the DAB and make a note of which leverets might be officer material if they grow up and keep that gumption."

Keldorn nods, a small smile "As I said...I plan to return...."He smiles, "Home..to the abbey, it feels good to call a place home. I will speak to Lord Ciocan before I head off and suppose find Silverwings..or travel home by logboat..should take a little over a week by boat."

Quinten says, "Well Keldorn, it sounds like this has been a useful and good trip for you after all, so I am glad you make the journey to join us."

Keldorn nods "It has..helped yes, though I did not mention looking for my family, I...left that off, it was..well person business..I needed to try and find them, and I did and tell them sorry..which I did..I shall maybe stay in the village a couple days and then say any goodbyes at the mountain, see what your Lord wished to see me before I left and then...head home"

Quinten says, "Well Keldorn," He stands up and pulls his cloak back up, "Do enjoy the mountain and drop by to say hello before you leave."

Keldorn nods "I will Sir....."He stop sand smiles "I will Quinten, I promise and I do keep promises..."

Keldorn sits alone at a table, quietly stiring some hot root stew around in a bowl, some water beside him as he is thinking, a lot on his mind as he said he would stay at the tavern and has found a quieter area of it.

Sereia has returned, likely against her mother's wishes as she strolls in and scans the tables and finds...Keldorn, she walks over and sits down, at first not a word and then "Father..."

Kage is out and about, likely looking for trouble as he smirks at a hare and chuckles..yep he hates hares as he walks into the tavern, some move out of his way, others seem to care less as they will just stay..its a lizard so what...

Keldorn looks up and blinks "Sereia..you, you came back..why?" He frowns as in concern "I plan to leave its that what you and your mother wants...just I want to try and..gain forgiveness of her..you, only if I can,it is your choice not mine, you and her's..only"

Sereia nods as she listens "Mother..said you died and I asked her why and she.."She frowns "She said mean things of you"

Kage looks over and smirks, he has seen Keldorn with the hares before but he is curious of what is going on so of course he easedrops

Keldorn sighs"She...has a right to hate me, I ..I walked away and did not return, I could of tried harder to return, I did not..I could of refused job offers, I did not..even joined this Mossflower Defenders that a friend is in, more than one...if they will still be friends I know not."He looks at her and smiles "You have grown into a..fine beast it seems Sereia, I am proud of you, even if you may not believe it"

Sereia frowns "I...I guess, I don't know..mother hates the city, supposedly some fear of pirates coming maybe,,,its like just a rumor and going to some city south, i do not want or wish travel to just another sea port city and some..boarding school to become some..lady, riches do nothing and makes beast dislike you"

Kage grins as he chuckles "You are rich then...hmmms?" He smirks as he stands "How rich?"

Keldorn frowns as he listens "Being rich does not mean all..."He looks to the monitor and just out of reflex a paw to his side and he frowns, oh yes it is gone and he is to be a novice, but he will protect his daughter somehow.."None of your business lizard"

Sereia gasps, about the same time her mother finds her "What in the seasons, your with your no good father!!" She glares at the monitor, and looks to her daughter "We are leaving now and your so called father can get lost!!"

Kage looks at the older shrew as she enters and chuckles, he looks to Keldorn "Father hmmms?" He chuckles "Izzzz not good one I izz thinkzzzzz" He smirks at the older female and shows his teeth "Such a pity..problems in one's life..you and the young one canzzzz go with me."He goes to grab the two shrews.

Keldorn frowns and gets his mug and bowl and goes to hit the lizard with but "Leave them alone you dark hearted beast!" He will stand in front of them.

Sereia screams as the monitor tries to grab her wrist. Aaricia eyes widen as Keldorn gets in front of them and seems surprised, what he..cares? Then the lizard is trying to get Sereia so she stomps his tail.

Kage hissses as he looks at Keldorn and chuckles coldly, claws out he goes to grab him by the throat and toss him into a table, and looks to the other two shrews"We go nowzzzzz"

Keldorn gasps as he is grabbed, he feels himself crash into the table that somehow doesn't break, "Aaricia..Sereia please..run...get away"

Zolomon picks the most great times to walk into the tavern, this is one of them, he is with a couple other privates when he blinks, wait it can't be that monitor from the..oh great, wait is he trying to hurt his friend. He motions to the two privates to go help him surround the lizard, one is a bit too scared and runs to find someone else, one stays..unsure but stays.."O..ok sur"

Sereia is afraid, truly she is and then Keldorn is slammed into the table "Father!!" Aaricia backs away and frowns, run..she can't run she is too afraid to run, she goes to get a knife off a table and stabs the monitor's tail! Or that's her goal.

Kage tenses and hissses as he swipes his claws across the shrew's throat!Another across her chest!He grins at Sereia and goes to grab her and he sees the hares "Long Patrolzzzzz...hee hee....deathzzzz is on the airzzzz tonight, shazzzzz we add more to the fun?"

Keldorn eyes widen "Aaricia!."He goes to stand and finds he can't put much weight on his left leg. He catches sight of the hares and looks to the lizard."Let my family go..hurt no one you need to kill someone, kill me"

Zolomon frowns, he has no clue what is going on as he can't fire off an arrow and he has to be careful with his saber, "Or he can bally well leave" The other hare agrees with a nod, but neither want to risk any deaths, but there is concern for the one shrew.

Sereia screams as she is grabbed and eyes have fear, when her mother is attacked and falls to the floor serious wounded she scrams again and shivers, she looks to Keldorn and then the two hares, fear and a sort of pleading for help in her eyes.

Kage looks at Keldorn and smirks, he looks like he is just gonnna leave holding the one shrew captive, he looks to the other female and grins"those woundzzzz they look a bit...deadly..."He grins and he speaks "Some thingzzz ae worse than..death"He goes to walk out, claws at the shrew maids throat"No suddenzzzz moves bunnies...or more blood leakszzz" He plans a get away, let him pass and maybe they have a chance to save the shrew maid, try and stop him he makes sure she dies like the other one likely will.

Keldorn stays where he is and frowns, his eyes dart to his wife, to his daughter, to the hares and back to the monitor.

Zolomon frowns, he motions to the private with him to just back up a little, its for the best as they can track the monitor later,he whispers quietly to follow at a distance but be careful and not seen.

Sereia whimpers as she is taken away, shivering..scared...her mother groans, still alive...just barely.

Kage slips away, he missed any whispers and lucky will miss any hares following him, providing they stay outta sight and not to close

Keldorn frowns and rushes to Aaricia, carefully checking her.."Aaricia...please...please..I know you hate me..but I do not hate you..I love you, you and Sereia..both.."

Zolomon quickly also goes forwards, he looks at the private"Find a healer..NOW!"The private races off as Zolomon gets out a cloth he can at least try and hold pressure to the worse wound.

Aaricia looks up at Keldorn and tenses in pain, her worse wound is on her neck and she has lost a lot of blood, this slows it some but not enough, a healer wont make it in time as she reaches a paw to Keldorn and coughs, she speaks..."F..find...our..daughter......."She then goes limp in his arms, dead.

Keldorn frowns as he holds her gently as possible, "Shh shhh...I.."He takes her paw and holds it "I will find her...Aaricia?...Aaricia!!!" Tears fall and he holds her close and just sobs, sitting there holding her close not careing if he is covered in blood right now. He has a small bit of his forehead bleeding from the table.

Zolomon frowns, no need for a pulse...he knows as the other hare comes back he just shakes his head, "No healer...now"He frowns as the one private did go to follow the monitor and hopfully stays careful and alert and reports back, he kneels down and reaches to touch Keldron's shoulder, questions can come later "We..we will find..find her" Who her is , he will ask later as well."Come on..we..we gonna make a report"Where is better?That monitor could be anywhere between here and the mountain or away from it on the beach even. "Keldorn...we can't stay here."

Keldorn finally nods but he refuses to let go of his wife, he sniff and stands a little shakie, nothing broken by a stained leg is likely.

Zolomon is careful as he goes to get Keldorn and the other shrew too if needed, he sighs and looks to the healer hare"Umm..tell Major Varus need ta report something and ta meet me at..umm"Where darn it.." Tavern....”

Meanwhile Kage makes it to his hideout, a small shack of sorts near the docks, not the best part of town at all and a bit too close to an escape route, how will this end good or badly?

Krisha Winters- Badger Mother of Redwall Abbey

Xander Winters- Leader of Mossflower Defemders, Owner od Redthorn Tavern

Brother Gorvenalus- Recorder of Redwall Abbey

Maltilda- Champion of Redwall Abbey

LOG:

Ewan sat in the library and looked at the letters in his paw and sighed, he has quietly handed some to the gatekeeper, letting her know it was for her family. And now he had others to give out.

Krisha had managed to get away from the dibbuns and looked at the hare “What..did you need Ewan?”

Xander was already here, on the pile of pillows and blankets his Uncle used sometimes when doing a story time, he looked over at Krisha and frowns. He has not been in the best of moods, mainly depressed but least a bit less moody than he was before.

Govvenalus sat nearby and had just finished some book binding and so decided to stay, besides some things were important to write down, like letters. Maybe not what they said unless he got permission of course.

Matilda walked in slowly and sank into a chair with a frown”Sorry was..talking to the abbot he had a meeting to discuss, funeral for Oz.”She looks to the hare, she is tried and likely needs some serious sleep.

Ewan nods “I have already..given Dorarose her letters for her family, and Benar has his. One was sent to Lord Ciocan and one to even Zolomon. But there was others..”He looks around and frowns, ok he can find Lacota later and quietly give his.”Letters...to different beasts that I wrote down, someone's words..Oz's words.” He hands one to each beast there..one for Krisha,Xander,and Matilda and leans back.

Krisha takes her letter and opens it, tears come to her eyes as she reads it and holds it to her chest, “Thank you Ewan.”She looks at it again and smiles more, “He mentioned the journal that Badger Mothers had....how I should write it it..read past entries”

Xander blinks and takes his, he frowns and isn't sure on opening it at first but does. He reads it and sniffs, he chuckles lightly at one part and smiles a little “Thank you..Ewan.”

Matilda tilts her head “He wanted me to have...one?” She looks at it “I can read it in my cottage later..right?”

Ewan nods “Yes, of course Champion Matilda...”He looks at them and leans back in his chair”Oz..wanted to let you all know feelings....and words of encouragement and to not be sad when he died. But tis..hard I know, beasts die we, we get sad”

Gorvenalus nods “Yes we do, by the way Ewan”He slips out a letter and gives it to the hare “Oz told me to write a letter, for you”He smiles “As he said it be really odd and strnage to write a letter, to himself so he had me write one to you, from him”He smiles softly at Krisha “I know where the journal is, and when your ready you can let me know and you can write an entry or two, and read some others entrys as well...even goes as far back as Mother Bella just be careful with its pages”

Krisha nods “I know...”She goes to hug Xander “Are you ok love? I know this has been..hard on you as well, maybe harder he was family to you”

Xander returns the hug “He was your family too and..yeah, long as I have you at my side and my friends at the abbey, I will be ok and get through this, and so will you”He kisses her on the cheek and offers a small smile.

Matilda sighs and stands, excuses herself as she heads to her cottage, where she can read her letter in some peace.

Ewan blinks and looks at the letter as he leans back, he decides to read it out loud, its fine

“Dear Ewan,

I know you have been through a lot and you made it thought a lot more than some and you are stronger than you think and I do not mean in strength, I mean in mind and soul. You I saw as a good friend. I am glad you put up with me having you sit for hours, for a long week and a half while I spoke my thoughts, had you cross out..add..take off again, I once even got grumpy and told you to just tear one up in pieces, I don't think you did but that's ok I know you did keep my words, my thoughts for each letter. I went to Gorvenalus for yours as, well it would be a bit odd to say yes Ewan now write a letter to yourself, how strange would that be, very odd and so I had Brother Gorvenalus write it for me, not to worry yours is the only one I had him write and I thanks him. Stay true to your self Ewan as there is only one of you and you shouldn't try to be a new you, you are you and no one else.

Signed
Oz Winters”

Ewan feels the tears going down his face as he lowers the letter and just sort of lets bottled up needing to cry just escape now.

Krisha frowns and stands going over to the hare and laying a gentle paw on his shoulder, she is there for him if he needs it.

Xander listens and nods “Uncle Oz is right, the you ...ummm you are is good. You have friends Ewan even though I think sometimes you think you don't” He smiles “I'm your friend”

Gorvenalus smiles “As am I.”He pats him on his other shoulder before sitting down in a chair. He will write a little in his logs, but he will add it after Oz's funeral.

Ewan just sort of sobs, leaning into Badger Mother and just crying. He rarely let his emotions show, he tried to avoid it in fact unless he got fearful of something or he got a little bit of a flashback, but usually another would snap him out of it before he went too far into memory lane.

Krisha hugs him and lets the hare cry, it's good to cry sometimes and she just stays there quietly showing she is there, even if its just to cry on.

Xander quietly gets up and looks to Krisha “I can go check on the dibbuns if you need me to”

Gorvenalus stays in his chair for now, he had his own letter as well that he goes to read now and smiles a sad smile before folding it up and relaxing in his chair.

Ewan shivers and seems to welcome the hug, silent and at times loud sob escapes as he just lets emotions kind of take over. He is sad, he is tried, he sort of thinks back a little of others who died.

Krisha nods “Go ahead Xander...please”She tends to Ewan for now .

Xander nods and slips out and down the steps and to the dibbuns, they like him also, though he has no real experience with, more than like 1 or 2 at a time, he will survive..right?

Ewan meanwhile manages to calm a little but still stays in the hug, he will stay sort of in a hug or half hug for a while before he ends up drifting off to sleep, hopefully she doesn't mind carring him to his room, or those pillows and blankets in the room are just fine as well, either well he will get much needed sleep.He later gave Friar Lacota his letter as well, though it was the next afternoon.

Whom:

Ewan Benjamin Delaney Tanner Mosswell Jahveri- ME-LP Hare Fighter/Private and Residential Redwall Abbey Hare

Taran- Camp Willow Guard/Cook

Baxtor- Camp Willow Guard

Aqua- Camp Willow Healer

Hawkeye- Retried warrior

Spoofed Foremole and couple other moles..

Log:

Ewan had saw the otter rush off and so he decided to follow him, a quick word with the guard at the gates and he was off to catch up with the otter.

Taran ran, and ran and just wanted to get as far from the abbey as possible, he had told them not to worry on telling Skipper he was at the abbey, he let them know and so they were expecting him home anyways. He was almost there when he slips and fell onto the river bank and just layed there and started crying.

Baxtor was on guard duty and blinked, he slipped out and then quickly got to his fellow otter's side “Taran, hey wot happen? You hurt, wot tis goin' on?”

Aqua was swimming and surfaced only to catch Taran run and fall and got out of the river to walk over to them, she glaces at Baxor briefly.

Ewan slowed once he came close to the camp entry and his ears drooped as he stayed within sight, but not going any closer yet. He mainly just wanted to make sure Taran got back safe.

Taran cries and shivers a little, he looks at Baxtor with tears flooding. He has a skinned up lower arm and knee from the slide he made when running and then falling, he sort of slide on the small jagged rocks of the river's edge.

Baxtor is confused, he sees movement and backs up “I did nothing, trust me...ummm he is a little hurt”He keeps his distance from Aqua,yeah he remembers.

Aqua speaks softly “I saw him fall and you don't have to back up I am not grump still” She bends down to examine the skinned up arm and knee “Your be fine...hold still, this will sting” She gets out some herbs she keeps mixed up in a potion for wounds, though cleaning off the wound is good before this and a clean bandage”Why were you running? Is there trouble?”

Taran holds still, she sighs”He's.....he's...gone” He just leaves it at that.

Ewan clears his throat “He was..at the abbey, oh and Hallo..just making sure he got back here safe and I should likely get back to the abbey”

Baxtor frowns “Gone...like missing gone or..worse gone?”

Aqua frowns a little, she looks at the hare and walks over “Wot de he mean...he's gone, who is he and gone how?”

Taran wipes away his tears “Papa Oz...he ..he ..I couldn't stay there...cause..”

Ewan frowns, his ears flat “Oz Winters is dead, or Papa as a lot call him...he was Bagdermother and now Krisha is badgermother, Mother Krisha..I can send word of when the funeral is if Taran or..anyone here wants to come, oh and...need Foremole to come back with me...umm please”

Baxtor didn't really know Oz but he still frowns and nods “Sure..I will umm...let him know”He heads back into camp.

Aqua gasps and nods, she is rarely a hugger but does give Taran a hug and nods”Thanks for letting us know”

Taran blinks..hugging..ok he will welcome it and leans into it, he will let his fellow otters lead him back into camp.

Ewan nods, he soon sees the Foremole and speaks with him, the Foremole nods and leaves another mole in charge as he goes to the abbey with Ewan, likely the other moles will stay at least 2-3 more days then head back to the abbey as well.

==Couple Hours later==

Ewan walks with the Foremole and slows, something or someone is detected as he draws his saber "Who tis thar?"

Hawkeye walks out "Just me....hmms guess they know bout Oz then..wanted to come here first and check on Taran...is he ok?"

Ewan relaxes and nods "Yes...he probally still be happy to see you, maybe you and him to to Ferravale and...tell Blisa and them the news about Oz"

Hawkeye nods as he heads into camp" safe Travels back t the abbey" He then disappears down a trail to find Taran.

Ewan watches and then him and foremole make thier way back to the abbey.
