Who:

Tarsa- Sargent, Drill Sargent in the LP

Zolomon- Recruit in the Lp. an archer in Mossflower Defenders

Log:

Zolomon was use to marching by now, he hoped Sinway and Kenya was ok.He sighs as he has the knapsack and...Tarsa? The dibbun seems elsewhere.

Tarsa at first complained and now just has her arms folded as she is carried, carried by a recruit, she glares at a hare that speeds up, she been quiet the past 2 hours and finally "This is annoying....treated like a child...carried by a recruit....stupid leg."

Zolomon frowns, he clears his voice "You were in pain so I thought carrying you would help and as you can see I am still keeping up, I am still marching Sargent...and walking would just make your leg swell up and get worse and maybe you wouldn't be able to walk again."

Tarsa arms still folded "Oh...and now your a healer?"She thinks ok he has a point, she sighs and relaxes.."Wot ever..just march if helps us go..faster..skipping morning exercises ..."She would of said something about that BUT it was the Badger Lord you DON'T say ummm but we should...you nod, salute and move on with your day.

Zolomon nods"And I have learned...some...seems ya have ta know basic healing which achally is basic...your Basic training needs to be Basic training...NOT"He chuckles and then quickly frowns.

Xander is nearby, he got up spoke with the Badger Lord some and ate a little breakfast and has been marching, talking to no one else and his talk with Lord Ciocan was brief..important stuff...and he been quiet and just unclear how he feels cause he seems to want to feel NOTHING right now.

Tarsa raises an eyebrow at the chuckle and shakes her head, she has noticed the badger "You friend..whats up with him suddenly? When he suddenly turn into..I don't..no talk, just march I mean even his Lordship will TALK with some hares, maybe a small chuckle once in a while..your friend suddenly is...too serious?"

Zolomon sighs, he wont turn around and look"Ozzy is in a very dead faint..Ozzy could well be dead for all we know but hoping he isn't, He is  blind...and old badger..really old but de dont judge a book by tis cover fits him, he can kick a vermin behind with his staff, you cant sneak past him to the kichen for pie..he knows..he will suddenly be beside you like hello..in the dark thats ..creepy, then not like the dark effects him being blind but still ya trying to get a pie...and suddenly hallo Zolomon..I am like good grief Ozzy..."

Xander is not too close to hear but hears some and still stays quiet, even some hares notice and just leave him alone.

Tarsa tilts her head "Then why sneak pie in the middle of the freaking night..."She sighs..."What sort of pie"She then frowns, did she just ask that?!

Zolomon grins "Friar L..makes de best apple pies like Really good."He glaces back at Xander and then forwards again, and trips over a small hole..yep his foot paw found the one hole in the path as he holds onto the hare maid so she doesn't fall..he falls..with her!

Xander doesn't notice the fall, a hare taps him and he goes to shoo them away..taped again and he looks over slows some..and decides to walk over and check on the hares.

Tarsa gasps and hangs on, like that will help and she is on her back glaceing up into his....eyes...the glare is lessened as she blushes and speaks "You tripped..you..could of....hurt..get off the ground"

Zolomon is nose to nose with the hare maid and blinks...."Wow..your eyes sort of sparkle and...oh up off the ground..yes Sargent right away!" He slowly stands and then helps her up, again lifting her up to walk..unless she is peeved and he will let her limp or Xander take over?

Xander looks between them, his voice sort of..far off sounding "You two...ok...seems like it, let's get going." And back to Marching, no Zolomon can carry her as he goes back where he was.

Tarsa allows herself to be carried and just looks at the badger and then Zolomon"Wot...?" She then shakes her head "He is a bit out of it,isn't he?" Then why she should care care of friendships and everything, friends....blah who cares yet she seems to care, and maybe.."So..you ok Recruit Zolomon no injuries?"

Zolomon stops, looks at Xander and sighs and then march..march and reply "I am fine la....Tarsa, you seem ok as well and he has a point the more we march and the better the speed the faster we get to Redwall and jolly well save de day....before anyone else is hurt or worse....and yeah Ozzy is his Uncle, And Karth and Kirk were friends..Mossflower Defenders..and he sort of had Karth in charge...oh guess the rest of the Defenders are sort of....well I am sure they are still helping where they can. Also Redwall is me and Xandy's home..and thar is his mate Krisha and he has a cub...forgot her name"He would ask and most likely get a montone reply,if any.

Xander would give ...no reply, he isn't close enough to listen. He is still focused on nearby things, keeping an eye out for trouble and that's it. Gone right now is joking and smile from yesterday morning....before they got bad news. He finally decided to be more himself..laugh , smile, joke around a little to relieve some stress only to have a large amount...the worse in his mind, sit in front of him.

Tarsa nods and just sort of stares at Zolomon and leans agasit him a little, "Hopefully you can cheer him up later...you seem to cheer up beasts in camp, its good to have some cheer and not always be 100% serious...maybe 90% serious.."

Zolomon is surprised as she leans agaist  him and just keeps his arms around her as he carries her "You ok sargant Tarsa? Leg hurt? Injury from de fall..sorry fer that....and.."Wait she watched him..."I cheer up..."Well he does.

Xander decides to go more towards the back, maybe rear guard or something.

Tarsa nods "Yeah....you get hares to laugh, and while it seemed..annoying it helped them to relax enough to march better later, you have talked with a couple ..more than that on how when we get there , there is this great feast as a thank you which I have read on Redwall...they like to give feasts and their food is wonderful from wot heard." Oh the questions "I am fine Zolomon maybe a little sleep be good but...otherwise ok"

Zolomon nods as he looks at her, he can still march as he speaks and looks back to the path"I don't like ta see beasts sad or upset...like me best pal Xandy I want ta cheer him up but I am unsure how and he isn't gonna let me right now I already know, I also know when its ok to back off but not too long. I know he wants ta likely try and get thar sooner and stab things..slice off heads, will I let him? Well I will try not ta..I could get Lord Ciocan to help...I bet he would..yes yes Xandy is a badger but even a badger...alone...last so long against..who knows how many insane horde beasts thar is and maybe I am a little scared, I bet others are too and just wont say a blooming word..oh tis not the Long Patrol way to be afraid of anything...blah we all have fears."

Tarsa nods "I was..afraid of the monitor and if you tell anyone I swear..you WILL do 500 push ups..sit ups and maybe jump jacks."

Zolomon nods as he grins "Ya secret safe with me lass...no need ta threaten me"

Tarsa glares a little and then a small smile,"Well..good then cause I would do that you know"

Zolomon nods "Yes..Sarg...do not face the wrath of Tarsa...your have a bally bad day." A twinkle in his eyes as he speaks.

Tarsa blinks "I am THAT bad..well...."She chuckles, well that's a first or least something she hasn't done in a long while..."So just be quiet a while and march..I think his Lordship wants to cover more ground sooner now."

Zolomon nods "Of course" Back to marching, keeping up well even with joking and all.

Tarsa sighs , and something else...she is tried it seems as maybe the steady walking causes it too, she leans more onto  the other hare and seems to of fallen asleep, sleep she likely needs.

Zolomon looks down at her and smiles, he makes sure she is safe in his arms and will not drop her...will keep an eye on the path and avoid any sudden holes and such. He will keep up with marching also. He will also protect Tarsa if anything does try to interrupt the marching.

Tarsa has allowed herself to fall asleep, asleep while carried in Zolomon's arms...this is something she would usually say was stupid..so childish...so unprofessional...well she has fallen asleep and she trusts the recruit...maybe even with her life.

Log:

Tarsa did not see herself as some dibbun watcher..how did she get stuck with the kid...oh yeah arguing with the annoying Zolomon, in her mind so annoying though a little less so maybe

Jhan tried to copy the hares..."March...march..."He falls on his face into the mud and gets back up catching up.

Ewan smiles at the dibbun "Hey ya..you like walking with us, that's neat and stuff..very neat" A couple hares roll their eyes at Ewan as he sighs"They no like me I think."

Zolomon was doing better, marching in place..doing his saluting and exercise, he was faster at putting up a tent as well to which he was happy.

Tarsa snorts "Zolomon..do straighten up a little and no more showing off like earlier"

Jhan did a sort of skip and ran over to Zolomon "Up...up...."

Ewan frowns "He did his exercises...sarge and..that's important right?"

Zolomon sighs and salutes "Yes of course...."He lifts up the dibbun onto his shoulders, he still has a pack too and marches on.."I did and Jhan here helped didn't ya little buddy"

Tarsa rolls her eyes "You do NOT do sit-ups with a dibbun by your footpaws or push-ups with them on your back or march with them on your shoulders...that's ...showing off"

Jhan cries a little and slips off when he is likely put down on the ground.

Zolomon sighs, yes he would sit him down and looks at Tarsa.."Lass...sarge look he is a dibbun and me responsibly wot...can't jolly well leave him alone and didn't plan ta...calm down"

Tarsa snorts "I will not! I will not be calm!" And she is stared at...a look and they turn back to marching ya fun march march march

Ewan frowns as he looks at the kid and blinks "Umm..guys..."He points to the dibbun wandering off.

Jhan cries and runs down a path, yes make the dibbun cry and want to hide, its a dibbun thing get use to it hares

Fangsharp is out and along the woods sniffing the air and hisses low. He has been walking along for 3-4 days and he can move fast when he wants to. But this afternoon something smells...interesting..."Bunny...heehehehhesssssss"

Tarsa shakes her head "You back to marching I will go get the kid" Yes teach the kid some rules, like that is possible but she will try "Come here kid..where are you kid...hey dibbun!"

Ewan frowns "She is not good with dibbuns is she? He has a name its Jhan and...should I....go help...her..." He frowns "Tell his Lordship...ummmmm"

Zolomon sighs as he adjusts his back and longbow, "I don't know..Tarsa will be fine lad"He smiles "She is tough but..."He stops there and chuckles"Tarsa is..Tarsa"

Jhan meanwhile has fell and hurt their knee, its all skinned and so he cries in his eyes he will now die...yep dibbuns minds are so interesting.

Fangsharp is close, too close as he hisses low seeing movement from a distance, but other movement catches his eyes..."Bunny"..oh no may be best to grab the kid soon and get out of this area.

Tarsa is starting to get annoyed and when she is annoyed she loses track of where she is going, not that she couldn't find her group again she could or least within a short time as she knows the direction they travel. She sighs when "Finally" she mutters and walks over to the dibbun and kneels down "First rule..don't go of alone" oops she broke that rule, "2nd...follow what your...what someone else says, your a child so its like the others are your commanding officer ok?"

Ewan sighs "I will go help..she isn't..buddy system and all" And he walks through the woods, ok its edgy..and quiet as he frowns, why is it quiet? Crickets stopped...why did they stop?

Zolomon frowns as he stops marching and watches the group "Umm..Ewan...Private...I think we bally well are marching this a way."

Fangsharp moves slowly out from his hiding place and behind the two hares, being ever so quiet..prey need not know he is here.

Jhan frowns and points to his knee "Ouchie..."He then sees the monitor and starts crying and backing up to the tree stump"Bad....bad..."

Tarsa sighs "Let me guess...I am bad cause I boss others around..wot ever kid come on we really should get back to the others....I need something for a headache"If she can she will pick the dibbun up and turn around...then her eyes widen

Ewan searches for Tarsa, they will be stopping soon so let her know...he didn't mention her looking for the dibbun or that he started to, well now he had a job. But he dislike these woods and coming into the small clearing he eeeps.."W..W...W...W..W..what is..t..that...thing..."Wait he seen one on a boat..at the..."Monitor...monitors..monitors are bad!"

Zolomon sighs, he was good at following orders, but also had this bad feeling even Tarsa wasn't gone this long, she was always back and forth in the small area she worked with, maybe she went to tell Lord Ciocan something but was always close by, this was odd...he taped a hare on the shoulder "Where is Tarsa.."A shrug.."She with his Lordship..??".."No...Ciocan is way up there..."A frown. ears droop.."Also where Ewan?" Oh and the dibbun.

Jhan says, "Bad..bad..."

Fangsharp hisses as he watches the two"Bunnies...all alone...."He tilts his head.."Master say ...find bunnies....and find badger......no wantsssss badger...bunnys..." He decides to just lunge at her.

Tarsa gasps, grab the kid and bolt

Ewan walks along and trips, he dusts off and frowns

Zolomon frowns and decides to go look, just slightly off the path

Tarsa has the dibbun and sees Ewan"Run...that's an order Private. Just go!”

Fangsharp hisses low...ok he will go to block her path if he can and snorts, showing fangs and teeth "Bunnies need stay....."He looks at Ewan and smirks, fangs and claws..yep monitors are neat...from a distance"Bunnies run...bunnys panicssssss"

Jhan just clings onto Tarsa and wails loudly, not the best day and this is beyond scary for him.

Ewan gulps, but he is froze where he is in fear. He can't run and his ears droop. He isn't able to yell for help either...nice time for a couple hares to slip off the path.

Zolomon most likely should just be marching in place, but he is worried and so went to go look for the others, and the fact the kid is missing. He gets a slight uneasy feeling its too quiet as he lays a paw on his longbow and hears crying...ok lost dibbuns do cry as he looks back and forth not seeing trouble..yet.

Tarsa gasps as her path is blocked as she frowns, no she is brave and a freaking drill sargent. She holds onto the dibbun and gets her saber as she watches the monitor and frowns towards Ewan "Private Ewan get outta here!" Great this is what going after the dibbun gets you, this is why dibbuns are trouble and they should of left him somewhere...not taken him with them and now this.

Jhan whimpers and just hides his face in her cloak, again repeating "Bad..bad beast....bad"

Fangsharp circles the two hares, every so often looking at Ewan but he is circling Tarsa and Jhan.."Bunnies.....kill bunnies...bunnies scared, hee hee..."

Ewan whimpers and somehow finds the courage to run back towards the patrol, he trips once and gets right back up..."Monitor..monitor....its gonna kill them..need help!"

Zolomon frowns and goes to stop Ewan "Deep breaths lad...breath slow....did ya say monitor? Where?"

Tarsa frowns, she would never admit it to anyone, we all have fears and hers is monitors ever since she was a dibbun. She takes a deep breath "Its..ok..kid..calm down"She tries to calm Jhan and with this she has no skill, not with dibbuns....She simply looks for a chance to get clear of the monitor and get away from it, then then takes the chance and runs.

Jhan sniffs, he is somewhat calm, till he sees the lizard again and its back to wailing loudly.

Fangsharp hisses and goes to take a swipe at the hare maid's leg! He also has his tail and powerful legs and can move fairly fast for a lizard.

Ewan meanwhile is shivering and mumbling , its not clear what he is mumbling but he looks scared, lost, but he manages a few words"Go..home..want go..home...."

Zolomon frowns "Ewan...deep breath....."He frowns and scoops him up and runs back towards camp and hands Ewan over to a random hare"Find either his Lordship or Xander....maybe a couple officers..."He is then off with the knapsack so he can run faster and does into the direction he was and heard crying, he speeds up when he hears some voices.

Tarsa gasps as claws slice into her leg and she trips, the tail doesn't help. All the while she holds on tight to the dibbun to not drop him, and to prevent him from getting harmed if she can.

Jhan whimpers as they roll and cries more..not a fun day for the dibbun who is scared out of his mind.

Adrian is polishing his rapier when Zolomon returns with Ewan. Sheathing his weapon, then grabs Ewan by the shoulders and gives him a rough shaking. "Oy, pull yahself togethah! Stop yahr bloody whimperin', Private. Wot's goin' on, an' where's Tarsa?"

Fangsharp hisses, "Bunny..down..."He will make sure they stay down if he can ....goes to knock the hare maid down again if she tries to run any further.

Ewan takes a few deep breath and shivers "Its...a..."He gulps.."Monitor....attacking..Tarsa and..the dibbun..cause.."He takes a deep breath "Jhan...wandered away...so she went to..find and then I went to find her..and was a monitor circling her...them..."

Zolomon makes his way slowly along the path and stops with a gasp. He gets an arrow and goes to aim carefully at the monitor, careful aim do not hit anyone else and when there is an opening he fires.

Tarsa panics slightly when she is slammed down and tenses up in pain as he leg is bleeding and her side is bruised, she glaces around and sees a tree she limps to and places the dibbun in the hollowed out trunk, maybe not the best idea but she cant really run much as she slices at the lizard with her dirk "Back...off!"

Adrian frowns. "Bloody monitah, eh? Figures. Blast. I hate monitahs. Vicious little idjits they are..." He grabs Ewan by the shoulder. "Come on! An' don't think I'm excusin' yahr cowardice." Drawing his rapier, Adrian rushes off down the path after Zolomon.

Jhan whimpers and reaches out his arms to Tarsa and just tries to sink further into the old tree trunk, lightly some tree struck by lighting seasons ago and has one of those little openings in the trunk one , if small enough, can climb into and to a slightly higher area of the tree and looks down crying.

Fangsharp hisses and seems to find fun in scared hares or bunnies in his view "Bunny....bunny be lunch..."He hisses in pain as an arrow sinks into his shoulder blade and he rips it out and goes to grab the hare maid by the throat.

Ewan frowns "But...but......"Ok he has a saber, he will follow him, its time to at least try and be brave.

Zolomon is selecting another arrow and goes to fire off another one as he speaks a little closer "Hey...scales! Get away from her!"

Tarsa kicks at the lizard when he grabs her and stabs down at its chest trying to make it let go of her, the other paw trying to get its paw off her throat, the claws cut into her paw mostly at least, not her throat.

Jhan just closes his eyes and cries, he is safe for now....right?

Adrian isn't giving Ewan any choice in the matter, dragging the younger hare along by his shoulder, along the path until he can hear the sounds of the fight ahead. "Right, we're gonna flank the beast, alright? You on the right, and I'll be on the left. Try ta distract 'is attention from Tarsa. Ready?"

Fangsharp chuckles..."Bunny...."He hisses as one stab gets him some, the other his tail as he tries to get her to drop the weapon. And there is that annoying archer who again as he goes to finally drop the hare maid and snorts..."Bunnys.....annoying..too many dumb bunnies...!!" Yeah whom to attack.

Ewan frowns "I..d..didn't practice fer this..."His eyes widen as he takes a deep breath and holds the saber as he takes a place he is diretd to take.."O..ok.."Now if he can stop being freaked out he will be fine.

Zolomon notices Adrian and salutes since he is an officer, and he keeps an eye on the monitor and a worried eye on Tarsa..even if she is bossy he is concerned"Sur....."

Tarsa drops to the ground and groans, she is semi-awake and has an injured left leg...a paw and a couple lines of blood on her throat as she coughs and takes in some much needed air.

Jhan is not moving from the tree, he is staying put as its a bit too much going on right now.

Adrian claps Ewan on the back encouragingly. "Just focus, alright?" Throwing a salute to Zolomon, he calls out, "Keep coverin' us with yer arrows, wot! Ewan an' I will try to draw the monitah's attention... C'mon Ewan... Let's teach tha' lizahd some bloody mannahs, wot."

Fangsharp hisses as he looks at the hares, his attention away from Tarsa for now and now on Adrian and Ewan, he has yet to see the one with the arrows..."Bunnies...need die...master say kill bunnies...."

Ewan frowns, the monitor is making him nervous...."Home..is ..better....."He tries to focus, this is battle and he is protecting friends.."Its...looking at..at us"

Zolomon keeps his attention on where Tarsa is, but where is the dibbun as he is worried, ok the monitor is there and the other hares are there, he has to get to Tarsa or someone does, He fires off another arrow at the lizard "Hey..scales...how bout ya get ya ugly face outta here"

Adrian keeps his rapier ready, slowly circling the lizard. "Did you just call me a bunny? Ooooh, yer gonna regret that." To Ewan, he murmurs, "'Course it is, wot. Don't let it unnerve ya, okay? Lissen ta me, an' only me. Don't lissen to this idjit lizahd..."

Tarsa groans and tries to get closer to the tree and pulls her self least into a sitting position and looks at her leg, well could be worse as she gets some cloth and tries to make a sort of temporary bandage, its not the best but it will do for now. She looks at the tree.."Kid....Jhan..."

Jhan whimpers, hearing Tarsa seems to calm him a little, just slightly.

Fangsharp snorts, he narrows his eyes at Adrian, he looks at Zolomon and moves...the arrow get his tail as he hisses low, "Bunnies gonna die...bunnnies will....Fangshaap get yassssssssss....." He moves a little ways from Tarsa and the dibbun.

Ewan keeps his attention on Adrian and grips the saber he has and gulps again. He manages to watch the lizard's movements and help circle it slowly.

Zolomon stays where he is, but he wants to dash over to the monitor but he resits the urge to and just stands calm and focused, he just needs to shot the lizard in the right spot.

Adrian darts forward, to slash at Fangsharp, making sure he has the monitor's full attention now. "I said... Stop callin' me a bunneh. As mah ol' cousin Letitia used ta say, 'Bunnies ain't tha brightest bunch...'" The hare stabs at the monitor's chest, hoping to make contact before he darts back out of reach. "Yer doin' good, Ewan. If 'e makes a move, slash 'is tail."

Tarsa stands onto to fall onto her bottom, she sighs "Stay put Jhan.....future Long Patrol hare...yeah?" Yes calm the kid, odd way but maybe will work?

Jhan sniffs and peeks out only to whimper, yeah he will stay put "Bad beast....is bad"He frowns at her "Got..ouchies"

Fangsharp hisses and swipes a claw at Adrian when he dashes in and stabs at him, a stab is blocked and a slash gets his arm as he hisses at the hare and swings a tail toward Ewan.

Ewan gasps and jumps backwards the tail almost trips him but he does fairly well keeping his balance.

Zolomon frowns he can't do too much with the fighting, he doesn't want to accidentally hit a fellow hare as he mutters and slips a little closer.

Tarsa frowns "Yeah...ouchies just stay put...k?"

Adrian's jacket sleeve is torn to ribbons at the shoulder, blood staining his sleeve, but he doesn't let up, pressing in to stab at Fangsharp's left shoulder.

Jhan just nods as he has calmed a little but is still a little shakie.

Fangsharp backs up and hisses, seeing blood he chuckles and hisses showing his fangs,he looks at the other hare and looks back and forth and makes a leap at Ewan suddenly and swings his tail at Adrian.

Ewan frowns seeing blood even if its someone else blood is not good, this is clearly his first real fight as he catches the movement and gasps as he tumbles backwards and slices at the lizard's arm and quickly rolls sideways he lets out a whimper when his boot is messed up, no draw blood but some bruising likely.

Zolomon frowns, "Darn...lizard...."He looks at the tree where Tarsa is and seems to debate on getting her away from the area while the lizard is distracted, so a little closer...just a little closer and stay focused.

Tarsa notices Zolomon and just frowns, she knows the dibbun is safe in the tree at least.

Adrian is hit in the stomach, with an "oof" and he staggers, but doesn't fall, lunging forward to try and protect Ewan with his sword. "Zolomon, get Tarsa an' th' kid outta here. This lizahd is provin' a bit toughah than I expected..."

Fangsharp goes to try and make the hare drop the sword and hisses low, he grins showing his fangs as he looks between the hares and snorts.

Ewan whimpers as he backs up a little, but he grips the saber and goes to stab down at the monitor's tail!

Zolomon nods, ok...he is a fast runner and while the lizard is distracted he bolts towards Tarsa and nods going to pick her up gently and looks around "Where's the kid?""

Tarsa normally would argue, how dare he just pick her up but her leg hurts..."Tree...."She will let him pick her up and hold onto to him as she frowns.

Jhan whimpers but will quickly go to get onto Zolomon's shoulders and cling onto him. Yes trust the adult to get them out of here and away from the bad lizard.

Adrian's rapier is knocked from his paws, but he quickly withdraws a dirk from a sheath on his hip, and he stabs it squarely into the middle of Fangsharp's chest. "Ewan, when I give you the command, I want you to retreat..."

Fangsharp hisses as his tail is stabbed, he goes to slam the tail into the hare,he hisses at Adrian and goes to try and slap him with a claw to knock him out as the dirk does tab him in a thicker area of his skin, likely the breastbone so it didn't get his heart or lung back causes the monitor to be peeved off and mad! Its not clear what the monitor will do next. But its clearly peeved off now.

Ewan tenses up and is knocked backwards but not knocked out lucky as he shakes his head and frowns with a whimper...."But..."Though running is good.

Zolomon has Tasha and the dibbun and nods as he gets to where the treeline is and looks back and frowns, He looks at Tarsa and is not sure where to lay her down, and the dibbun is on his shoulder he CAN'T get an arrow and fire it off!

Tarsa looks towards where the others are and frowns "We have to do something...put me down now!"

Adrian takes the slap across his face, and he sees stars, staggering back. He's smart enough to know this is a losing battle, but there's no safe way he can retreat. "Th...that's an order, Private... I can't do this alone." He shakes his head, fighting dizziness. The hare has another dirk, but his limbs all feel pretty heavy now. "Yah've got to get help. NOW GO!"

Jhan whimpers he is going to cling onto to Zolomon...not helping.

Fangsharp hisses low as he watches the hare, and the other one..Ewan,he snorts as a couple got away as he looks between Ewan and Adrian.."Bunnies......gonna dies...hee hee"

Ewan gulps....he can't run away, he backs up and again freezes but finds the small bit of power to gulps as he darts towards where Zolomon went."Do..do..do something!"

Zolomon frowns, where to sit down Tarsa, he finds a soft area of grass but he can't just sit her down and go help if the monitor got lose and went this way her and the dibbun could be killed.

Tarsa tries to stand and falls onto her face almost, the homemade bandage is loose as she mutters something, she reaches for the dibbun"Just...go..fire an arrow...give me the kid!"

Jhan starts to wail, lets wail loudly and try and hold onto to anyone, he could care less who.

Adrian is fading fast, shaking his head and trying to dispel the dizzy feeling. "If ya call me 'bunneh' one more time, I'm gonna cut yer tongue out. Now shut up." He manages to grab his rapier again, and points it at the lizard, but his paws are visibly shaking. "Yer a dirty fightah. No bloody honah in ya, is there?"

Xander has heard a couple things, and went to see what was going on, one look and he decides to not wait for the hares to get Lord Ciocan, he decides to act now and takes a deep breath and rushes towards the lizard with his large blade, no yell of a warning just slice at a monitor! Hope for a surprise attack!

Fangsharp smirks and goes to raise a clawed paw and aim for the throat of the hare when he is suddenly hissing in pain and the so called claws paw of death is gone as his eyes widen, he still has his other paw and he grins "Badger..."And his attention  is on the badger, swiping his other claw at him with a chuckle.”Badger...which badger...hee heeee...I still...sssslay.”

Ewan whimpers "I..I...."He blinks and looks towards where Xander dashes off and gulps.

Zolomon frowns and gets the dibbun off and hands him to Tarsa "Stay little..buddy..."He blinks, that wasn't his lordship, that was..."Xandy!!!"

Tarsa glares "I said fire an..."She watches the fight and she gasps.."Fire an arrow! Either do that or get Adrian...someone needs to get him!"

Jhan cries, ok too scary right now, so lets cry and wail, cling onto Tarsa now.

Adrian uses the momentary distraction of the badger's arrival to slash at the monitor's back when he turns. It's not likely a very deep wound, as the hare's strength is flagging. "Took ya long enough ta get here, Sah..."

Xander keeps his focus on the lizard best he can, not answering the hare and simply slashing at the monitor again as he is knocked onto his back and snarls.

Tarsa frowns as she looks towards where the badger ran off to and looks back to Zolomon.

Adrian decides now is a good time to strategically retreat, now that the monitor is sufficiently distracted. Grabbing Ewan by the arm, he backs away toward Tarsa and Zolomon. "C'mon, this'll be our only good chance to get away. The badgah can handle 'imself, I'm sure."

Ewan is not agueing , yes follow Adrian and get out of the area.

Zolomon frowns, the dibbun looks asleep and he makes sure its safe as he gets an arrow but waits to fire it till there is a clear shot to fire it.

Fangsharp gets a slice to the chest and goes to try and knock the badger out, he hisses and uses his claws to slash at the badger's throat!

Xander blocks the claws with his arm, lucky its armored mostly, he goes to stab up at the monitor with his blade and sent a kick at the monitor afterwards to get a chance to roll away into a better fighting pose.

Tarsa will slowly stand and tenses up a little as she also manages to keep the dibbun in her arms, lucky a couple other hares come as she mutters to take the dibbun and limps, falling once and is then helped to camp slowly.

Fangsharp hisses the blade sinks into his chest as he goes to swipe a claw at the badger again. aiming for his leg as he is kicked backwards and sways a little as he hisses low and stumbles, the lizard has lost a lot of blood.

Ewan watches, why does he watch as he ...yes he faints...”Blood..and...” Yep out cold and hits the ground, least some soft grass is here.

Adrian continues to retreat, dragging Ewan away back to camp.

Zolomon stays where he is, he watches Adrian and then the monitor and Xander, he will still fire an arrow if he needs to. But he will wait..for now.

Xander pants and scoots backwards as he manages to stand his leg bleeding and some on his upper arm as he watches the lizard closely, he grips the blade in his paw and takes a couple deep breaths. he glaces at Zolomon and the others briefly.

Fangsharp is weak....but smirks at the distraction and goes to grab the badger's throat, if he can he will try and sink his claws into his neck and make it hard to breath.."Badger....hee....hee......” His strength is fading slowly but this lizard is strong.”Diesssssssss......” Let's lift him ..maybe?

Xander gasps as the monitor grabs him by the throat and manages to lift him off his feet , at first he panics and then closes his eyes..focus as he grips the blade and goes to make a quick, slice at the monitors own neck!The monitor wants to try and take him down well he is taking it down with him if that's the case!

Fangsharp seems to tense up, and somehow the grip on the badger gets tighter but then the monitor grip looses some and he falls sideways....also seems to of....lost his head, literally in this fight ...yeah no checking its a dead lizard!

Xander gasps and is close to passing out when the monitor grip is somewhat loosened he falls sort of sideways and  then prys the clawed paw off coughing  a little as he has a very bruised throat and claw marks and he closes his eyes laying there sort of still for the moment. Some lines of blood and closes his eyes.

Zolomon fears the worse and rushes forwards "Xandy!!!" And is quickly at his friends side shaking him, is he in ...tears?,,"Xandy?...Xandy..XANDER!!!" A couple tears fall on Xander's face.

Tarsa is tended to and frowns , worry "Where is that...badger and Zolomon?"

Adrian sighs, not yet giving any attention to his own bloodied shoulder. "I ordahed Zoloman ta retreat... 'E should be 'ere. I'll go back an' look for 'im."

Xander may of passed out briefly but the shaking...the fact the hare is crying, a couple tears land on his face as he mutters, "Stop...shaking me...your making headache..worse..and your getting me wet.."His eyes open and blink a couple times as he focuses on Zolomon.

Zolomon smiles "Your alive..I thought you were dead..."He will, if can help Xander up "We,,need ta..bally well get back to camp."

Tarsa frowns "He is back thar with a bloody monitor!!"

Xander groans and just nods, he glaces at the headless Lizard and will slowly limp slightly, back to the others "Yeah...headache...."He will catch the hare maid yell "Don't..scream......"He points to Zolomon and then stumbles to his tent with a groan.

Zolomon follows him and then sees..he frowns at Tarsa and Adrian both ranking officers and stands up a little better, a salute..."I...sorry....couldn't...umm monitor is a bit headless."He stays where he is..yes prepare to be yelled at.

Adrian sighs. "No, 'e's right there. Looks like the badgah handled 'imself well. Headless, ya say?"

Tarsa watches the badger and then looks to Zolomon and snorts...."You need to report to his Lordship....wot happen?" Yes tell her also.

Zolomon frowns as he stays stood up ..."I..couldn't leave me friend to...maybe die...sarge..I..."He sighs "I am sorry I didn't follow orders and leave....I had ta make sure Xander ...me best pal and friend in all the world..since we were like..teenagers...was ok and I was ready ta shoot the monitor...the monitor grabbed Xandy by the throat and then Xander....like swung the blade and then the monitor sort of let go and fell over...with Xandy...the monitor  was beheaded by Xandy's blade...by his like claws were still on Xandy's neck and Xandy got them off and then he was so..so still I thought..though  he was dead but he wasn't dead..but he is hurt...but alive and ..the monitor lost his blooming head like literally and I know... I..know..tell Lord Ciocan..."He looks at her...concern in his voice "You..ok Tarsa....I mean..Sargent..."

Tarsa listens as he goes on and and on and she almost stops him but she sighs, he does seem really concern "I'm..."She blushes a little and looks away as she stands Letting another hare help her to her tent "Just....get rest...and don't expect me going easy on you your doing 200 sit ups..later" And she is too tired to argue she is going to bed...goodnight.

Adrian hmms, nodding. "You acquitted yerself well, wot. Thank you." He then starts to search for a medic to bandage is bloodied shoulder.

Zolomon nods and smiles "Thanks...sir...."He then stops a passing hare to get a medic and sighs as he sits down "I...guess could of been blooming worse..."

Tarsa lays down and has a bandage leg and sighs “Why is blooming...wrong with me....”She sighs and  lets herself fall asleep, she is tried and Lord Ciocan can get a report from Zolomon...Zolomon that annoying...stupid....but that face...no it's annoying! Ge could of died though..ok what ever...he was worried about her? Ok so..so what..yeah she seriously needs sleep.

Log:

===Somewhere alon the path mid afternoon-evening =====

Tarsa marched along and watched Zolomon to see how he was getting along, it was true she didn't seem to have to grump at him as much.

Ximena was close by, she had found some rarer herbs and pocketed them as a just in case as one never knows when its needed.

Zolomon was better, heck a little strong if that was possible with this pack that at first was annoying,now it was ok and he didn't feel it anymore, it took a couple days to get the hang of marching but he did and he even marched backwards a couple times till he was told turn around which he did. He could salute good as well. One can learn.

Not too far from the group of marching hares was another hare, a hare maid but she was not part of the long patrol, neither was the small dibbun she held close as she ran from a ferret, she took a chance and got onto the log to cross the river, she be safe there...right? The ferret seemed to still want to get her as she frowned and gasped...the current a little too swift here from some heavy rains and the log was not the best idea , more so when the ferret got on it and she scream kicking him off...well the ferret went under and washed downstream. She loses her balance and grabs the log, one paw on it the other on the dibbun as she coughs and looks around "Help..some...beast..." Her voice weak, seems a reason to escape the ferret but now she needs to escape the river.

Xander sighs, he had ended up a little behind, slowed when he thought he saw something and shakes his head, the patrol had to make a slight detore cause of the slight flood here, not that it was much of one and only maybe messed travel up by an hour.

Tarsa smirks "One can be taught..."She chuckles, today was good so far...less yelling suited her.

Zolomon slowed, he looked to the river and arched an eyebrow...he shrugged and moved on and then again stopped, looked at the river only to take off the pack, his longbow and saber and dive into the river without a warning may I add..towards the two hares.

Ximena caught up to the hare maid "Your a little mean to him sometimes you know...."She stops and frowns "Why did he just.....is that a dibbun?"

Jhan wails as he clings best he can onto his mothers paw only to lose his grip and sink once, resurfaces and manages to barely stay afloat. The hare maid screams "Noo!"Her grip is barely on the log as it is.

Xander lays a paw on his blade a scream usually means danger as he speeds forwards "What happen, wot is going on?" He has yet to look towards the river.

Tarsa starts to grumble "What in the sea----"A gasp and a couple hares rush over "Is that one of ours.."Tarsha shakes her head no. She sees the badger and just points to the river.

Ximena makes her way to stand by Tarsa "Oh my..oh dear...oh no"

Zolomon is a good swimmer and quickly looks back and forth, the dibbun he goes for first as hopefully the hare maid will be ok for now as he gets close to grab the dibbun, "Hold on .." He will get him to shore first, ok current he hates as he manages to get to where he can better get to shore and coughs handing off the dibbun to whomever is closer and going back for the mother.

Xander frowns, he will get the dibbun, if he can and frowns as Zolomon dives back into the river "Zolomon!" He frowns as he looks at a few hares that stopped as well, a message give n there was some sort of trouble so others will stop also.

Jhan sinks once but then as he resurfaces he clings onto Zolomon's back and shivers, it doesn't really matter who has him he is still afraid and will cling onto them, the badger is fine as he coughs and whimpers. The mother notices Zolomon but also passes out so her grip on the small bit of log is lost and she sinks under the fast moving water.

Tarsa watches,is she worried as her ear droops a little as she watches nervous and speaks "Find who ever is the best swimmers...do something....help him out...do it now"A couple hares salute and dive into the water to help.

Ximena frowns and walks over "Is the dibbun ok, does he need a healer?"

Zolomon is determined to help the hare maid still and dives under to reach her and resurfaces now fighting the current and keeping another hare above water so when he sees two fellow hares to help he is glad "One...one take the lass.."He coughs and can get to shore, ok he needs help fine but other wise he is ok.

Xander frowns and carries the dibbun a little further from the river and sits him down so a healer can tend to him before going to check on Zolomon.

Jhan wails and just reaches towards the water, its clear he wants mama maybe. Meanwhile the hare maid has her eyes closed and isn't moving, like at all as she is brought to shore. Its clear she has been in bad shape even before the river..scars, some old and some a few days old. And she is thin and weak....is she alive?

Tarsa goes to see Zolomon.."Recruit?" She glaces at the hare maid and frowns...let the healers with more skill help her as she looks at Zolomon.

Zolomon coughs as he sits down and sniffs. He is handed a towel he wraps around himself and blinks, he then salutes Tarsa "Sorry...sarge....the ..they needed=sneeze= help, could bally well...not help"

Xander speaks "Zolomon....are you ok?" He looks over at the dibbun and hare maid and frowns, back to his friend."Just..maybe let others next time"He frowns hopefully isn't a next time.

The dibbun's mother is barely alive as she weakly looks at the hares and groans. She looks at her son..."Jhan...."

Ximena frowns "He is ok...you on the other paw are far from ok. She checks for wounds and frowns as she looks at the others.

Tarsa sighs, then snorts "You could of..."Ok don't say died..she takes a deep breath "But you saved a life...and dint think twice and acted swiftly just like a true Long Patrol hare"

Zolomon keeps the towel wrapped around himself and listens, he grins a little and coughs again. He smiles when he sees Xander "I am...fine, little wet..cold but ok...never swim in a river after a flood"He chuckles a little, yeah he is fine.

Xander sighs, yeah his friend is fine as he decides to see what is going on with the hare maid

The hare maid speaks weakly"He needs.....taken care of......."Her eyes flutter shut as she goes limp. There are sighs she was likely a slave...and a small tattoo of ownership proofs that, the dibbun has none...she clearly does on her shoulder. The dibbun is now asleep.

Ximena frowns "She...she..." She can't say it but its clear what she is going to say. She sniffs "Whats the...tattoo?"

Zolomon stands and walks over as he frowns , he glaces at the tattoo "Thats....a...."He frowns "She was a slave."

Xander studies the tattoo "Small simple black rose....the beasts who run the black rose have a tattoo a lot more detailed with thorns and vines....the slaves had a simple flower no thorns or vines....."He sighs and looks at the dibbun,"We can get the dibbun to Redwall...or well somewhere safe..."

Tarsa frowns, she nods as she listens motions for a couple hares and speaks quietly and then walks back over "They can...she can least have a simple  burial before we head onwards...but the long patrol can't take a dibbun with us..we are going toward the danger..hallo?"

Ximena says, "The poor dibbun he is all alone"

Zolomon thinks, speaks "He can stay with me..I heard her ...Jhan..he needs someone, she wants someone to jolly well watch over him so I will and still do me marching and training too your see lass..ummmm sargent Tarsa..sorry"

Xander asks, "Is that wise Zolmon?"

Tarsa folds her arms over her chest"I wonder too...your a Long Patrol hare or least want to be one, there no time fer a..a dibbun"

Zolomon stands there and speaks softly "Protection....sargent Tarsa....being jolly well responsible."He looks at the small dibbun, puts his pack back on, picks up the dibbun and goes right back to marching when its time. Well..he is serious.

Xander watches "I think he means what he says...madam....and we can't just leave it here."

Ximena frowns but just listens and watches as it seems, oh they are on the move again.

Tarsa takes a deep breath "Fine...and tis your job ta report to Lord Ciocan Recruit Zolomon...not a request!" She looks at Xander "I hope your friend knows what he is doing"

Zolomon salutes with one paw, the other holds the dibbun and he keeps marching in time with the others.

Xander smiles as he walks "I think he knows...give him a chance he did just save a dibbuns life and tried to save the mothers life as well, which he is likely upset about failing at"

Tarsa says, "She likely wasn't saveable"

Ximena frowns "She was petty hurt, likely running from someone...and almost drowning while making sure her dibbun didn't....took too much out of her, she may of survived but not very long."

Xander sighs "Yes...ok but still. A beast can still feel bad about something like that just try and go easy on him for a couple days, trust me he will pay attention to what is needed and still to that dibbun, maybe its not the best idea to be in charge of it but ...."He shrugs "For now...let him"

Zolomon is far enough away to not hear, but he is keeping in perfect line, he just has a dibbun resting over his shoulder that is sound sleep, every so often he looks at the dibbun but keeps marching.

Tarsa looks over at Zolomon and studies him and glaces at the badger, "Well....we will see. The dibbun sleeps for now what happens when it wakes up, then what?"

Ximena says, "We make sure he is ok.....oh but how do we tell him about his mom....that will be sad"

Xander says, "I don't know, sort of not the best subject"

Zolomon adjusts the dibbun slightly, keep marching...marching is....well not fun but he is use to it and its not like the dibbun adds extra weight, and hey he is marching shortly after rescuing the dibbun from the flooded river....so yeah

Tarsa frowns now and sighs "Well this still needs reported...and ..dibbuns they..."They are ..."Annoying.'

Ximena frowns "Dibbuns arnt annoying they are cute....and sweet and..that one is all alone now...you don't like dibbuns do you?"

Xander listens for any reply to this, he is curious of what is going to be said.

Tarsa snorts and speeds up, in fact past Zolomon muttering slightly.

Zolomon watches the hare maid walk past, he slows slightly in his marching ...just slightly as he still has Jhan and looks back to the others "She is bally well moodier than normal..or is it me?"

Xander gets to where Zolomon is and shrugs "I am not sure..."He glaces at the dibbun "So...what now? She did bring up a good point...what to do with him"

Ximena speaks "I would say the abbey but that's a couple weeks away still....oh dear..oh me....had this ever happen save someone...then not have a plan...we have a plan right?"

Zolomon grins "Of course....we...ummm.."Ok he is short of a plan, and still slightly wet"We think on it later..."He takes note dibbun sleeping and speaks " She was a slave that likely got away...and we can honor her wish of keeping this little guy safe, he can stay in came when we get thar..I meant wot I said I can take care of the little guy and still march and what ever else. Couldn't leave him back thar either....maybe umm...well darn, ok planless so we think on one"

Ximena frowns but walks along."Well...first he will look for his mom...that will not go well...so there is that and then keeping him happy, and safe...well safe shouldn't be an issue, least right now...how close are we?"

Xander thinks "Little over..under..two weeks now, I think..close to that. I just worry when we get closer...possible attacks."

Zolomon nods"We face that when it comes to it. the dibbun is safer with us than anywhere else. If we suddenly have to fight then...I am sure there is a way to keep him safe one way or another."

Ximena says, "I don't want to think of fighting at all....I will have to tend to any injured, though they have other healers here too yes, but always good to have a fair amount of healers.""

Xander nods as he listens"Yeah but something to think on still thinks are likely a lot worse since we left"

Zolomon frowns "Likely.....and not good"He groans "Why did a stupid horde come along to try and ruin lives for"

Jhan stirs and of course chooses now to wake up and looks around.

Ximena says, "Because hordes are evil......."She then goes quiet when the dibbun stirs..."He's awake"

Xander gets a little closer to Zolomon and the dibbun, but is quiet for now

Zolomon speaks "Hallo....your Jhan or..that's wot your umm...mama right? Wot she said..your safe now and with the jolly long patrol."

Jhan stares at the hare that's carrying him and tilts his head as he sniffs "Mammmm"He frowns, not that he isn't ok with Zolomon, it was him that got him out of the bad water.

Ximena frowns, ok she is not saying anything she is bad at things like that.

Xander waves at the dibbun, a frown "Ummm..."He frowns and looks at the ground, yeah not too helpful.

Zolomon adjusts the dibbun , yes he is handling this...he said he could tend to the dibbun and marching too so he does! "Umm..ya see...she..."He frowns, clears his throat " She asked for someone ta keep a eye on you and so..that's me and maybe one of me friends "

Jhan frowns and buries his face in Zolomon's tunic.

Ximena frowns, ok this is sad......

Xander gets beside Zolomon "Can i carry him for a while?" He likely can handle a dibbun better than Zolomon.

Zolomon sighs and carefully hands him over"Just ya know...hold him good and ..don't drop him and all that...gonna go back ta marching....oh and yeah report to...Lordship...."Should of done it earlier and he speeds up a little.

Jhan is handed to the badger and blinks, he sniffs and just frowns, looks to where Zolomon went and back to the badger, least he isn't crying...yet....never mind.

Ximena asks, "Now what?"

Xander takes a deep breath, ok calm a dibbun..he has before , his own as he humms softly and sort of rocks the dibbun as they walk, a few simple words like a lullaby he knows fairly well.

Jhan whimpers but the soft humming and singing he does quiet and then snuggles into the badger and falls back to sleep.

Ximena watches and smiles "Oh...that's this is good he is asleep...how did you do that?"

Xander smiles a little, a few more words...soft humming and he speaks quietly still walking "I...have a daughter...she likes singing to sleep when she was..."He sighs a little.

Ximena walks along "Oh...at the abbey, I am sure she is ok..I dint know you had a dibbun"

Jhan remains asleep for now, the walking and very so often humming helps.

Xander nods "Her name is Northstar..another reason I want to get back soon to make sure her and Krisha is ok, Krisha is my mate I think you meet her once"

Ximena nods "Yes...once, she is nice...what does she do at the abbey just help with the dibbuns"

Jhan yawns in his sleep or semi sleep, he is happy and quiet for now.

Xander replies "She helps with chores..she is...in training to be the next badger mother, and hopefully that's like way far into the future"

Ximena says, "Oh...who is in charge of that right now"

Xander clears his throat"My uncle Oz is...he has been for a long time and he got some message on who to train next and...well he is but..with the horde and all.."

Ximena says, "It worries you.....its ok to worry I think , it does show you care if one didn't worry on friends and family I would honestly think something was wrong with them.""

Xander says, "I don't like to worry but I do and sometimes I wish we could go faster and I know we can't"

Ximena says, "I have no family, that's near Redwall....mine live west somewhere, hopefully they are staying safe. So we get there and hopefully the horde is stopped"

Jhan yawns but still..somewhat asleep

Xander says, "Earlier said than done you seen what he did to the base...Ferravale was Attacked, we got very lucky to even get down the river and to the western shore at the time and that almost failed""

Ximena says, "But we didn't fail and now help is on the way and once we get there we will have better plans and I am sure the long patrol has good plans.""

Xander says, "Yeah....most likely just wish we had some news of some sort..any news on how things are doing""

Ximena says, "Maybe some news will..come somehow?"

Ximena says, "Well....good news is better....yes?"

Silverwing is flying around, and around...and...yeah around...she can travel fast and didn't have to get too close to notice bad furs around and so flew away to find her friends...she really should rest but didn't...likely not the best idea. Yet she somehow didn't get lost.

Ximena is tried, walking blah...then eeeps a little as she looks yep and gets closer to Xander.

Xander notices and looks around, "Wot?"

Silverwing gives the answer, in the form of her famous or not so famous crash landings.."Ouchie...Silverwing okie kay.."She shakes her head and smooths out some feathers and ...yeah freaks out some hares..."Hello...."

Ximena cups a paw to her mouth, and goes over "Oh my...are you hurt? You said ouch...."

Xander frowns and gets to where Silverwing is and looks over the eagle "Do you always have to crash land?'

Silverwing groans and one of her wing feathers is out of place and a tail feather missing joy, but she can fly...later when dry and she shakes off and a few hares grumble and glares at the bird who backs off.."Silver fly and fly and fly...Silverwing needs sleepnap..."

Ximena is a little edgy of a large bird but checks her over "You..seem ok....wait she always crashes?"

Xander says, "Most of the time.....and why so much flying?"

Ximena says, "We can't carry a bird"Lets panic now" What...."

Silverwing offers a smile, sort of "Silverwing no need help...Silverwing napsleep near river, is fishes and plenty waterdrinks...Silverwing no sleepnap cause of badfurs...see from air..many many badfurs"

Xander frowns "Bad..furs?..where?"

Ximena frowns "What are badfurs? What is she saying....are we in danger?"

Silverwing shakes out a wing oh she is given plenty of room "Where big badger....where at..."She yawns, she looks at Xander "You do....many badfurs round red home."

A hare looks at the bird "Big badger...ya mean Lord Ciocan?"

Xander frowns, "Silverwing....explain...please...whats happen?"

Ximena decides to listen, least Xander can understand the bird, right?

Silverwing frowns "Bunny can find...bunny be quiet Silverwing speaks......is important yes..."She yawns again.

The hare looks ready to scream or pull fur out or something

Xander frowns as he glaces at the hare "Its ok...i can..."He sighs "Silverwings...go on before the hare goes insane...please"

Silverwing tilts head "Insane bunny...."?" She pats the hare on the head, yep that helps...not."Oh..bad furs..many many bad furs go near red home...surrounding was when left to go soar quick fast find friends...find the bunnys...." One voice "Hares...." The eagle tilts her head "Bunnies find....now need napsleep" The hare sighs and ....yeah..gives up mutters something about hare not bunny.

Ximena frowns

Xander frowns as he listens "that horde is...Silverwing?" He frowns more oh great now she sleeps!"No sleep yet...or napsleep wahtever...that horde is surrounding redwall?"

Silverwing yawns, "Was..starting too...by nows yes yes...likely yes...tisbad badnews ya....Silverwing not get too close least get shoot at with arrows...arrows are sharp"

Ximena says, "Well yeah they are....did one hit you?"

Silverwing shakes her head and looks at the hares "Bunnies need calm...calm downs ya? Need music?"

Xander eyes widen "No..no Silverwing no singing...we are fine and great and...I bet Ciocan will calm them"He mouths =find him=.Yes give the message."You get sleep ok Silverwing"

Ximena blinks whats bad about singing?

Silverwing yawns and nods "Okie kay...Silverwing no singtunes..."Grumpy bird as she puffs out and goes to make a nest and sleep "Annoying bunny no like singing....blah blah blahh....."Yes she will go to sleep...grumpy and sad thank you!!!

Xander sighs as he sits down, ok that was fun..not. "Just...let her sleep...she is a friend."A friend who cant sing, the hare would most likely go insane, the news he got is not the best as he sighs,"We need to stop...camp a little earlier...."

Ximena sits by the badger "The bird had bad news...didn't she"

Xander nods and looks at the sleeping dibbun and sighs."Yeah..."

Ximena says, "Oh......"She frowns and lays a paw on his shoulder "Least we know...that's good right?""

The news is soon brought to Lord Ciocan, who right away calls for camp to be sit up, 30 minutes early is fine, they need to chat now discuss the news of the orphan dibbun and what Silverwings talked of. He will wait till the large bird wakes up even...then marching starts again shortly after a quick breakfast.

WHOM:

Tarsa- Sargent and trainer in the LP

Zolomon-Archer in Mossflower Defenders and for now Recruit in the LP

Ciocan-Badger Lord

Log:

***Somewhere along the long long path to Mossflower, maybe 2-3 days from Salamanastron... Nighttime?****

Zolomon disliked this workout stuff already as he does his 100 sit ups with the large knapsack on his back and it's not even his, it's her backpack!

Tarsa watches him and yawns as she sips some water” Try some push ups...100 both paws and 100 one pawed.”

Zolomon groans and nods as the first 100 are fine its thew 2nd 100 of one armed ones that are even less fun.

Tarsa just watches and smirks”Your doing...well so-so thar recruit Zolomon”

Zolomon has 5 more..4 more and groans as he lays there “This..is bally well..far from fun....la----...Sargent....ohhhhhh”

Tarsa rolls her eyes as she watches him, "Well I am having fun anyways....keep going"She smirks.

Zolomon frowns as he gives a snort but he does get the last couple push ups done and sighs"I think.."He stops, don't call her lass.."Your not supposed to keep the pack on the back."

Ciocan asks, "Oh I don't know," Ciocan rumbles as he strolls up behind Tarsa, "What if you have to do something on patrol and don't have the luxury of taking our pack off?" He chuckles and looks down at Tarsa, "How's he working out?"

Tarsa chuckles, she stands up from sitting down "Why not? You didn't have one..."She then salutes the Badger Lord before speaking "Oh he is getting use to this..I think. But his friend said it was ok for me to be in charge of him"

Zolomon sits up while he can, "And wot be with rations..tis not like a hare to...rations lass?" He let it slip, well he will learn after a while."Run around, sits ups, push ups..with the knapsack and then still the marching..I can handle marching but this before that and waking up early before the sun..."

Tarsa snorts" I am not lass...I am Sargent Tarsa..."She glaces at Zolomon"How do you get away with not using sir for your..leader. Think he would make you call him that"

Ciocan tilts his head, "I do not think Xander runs things as a military organization with ranks... it seems to be more friends who have banded together to fight vermin," He folds his arms and stares down, "You really should address Tarsa by her rank however whilst she is training you."

Zolomon answers "Xandy is me best pal..."He is not use to ranks, he will learn slowly."I should find Xandy in fact...see you and Lord C...when its time to march again."SO he turns to walk away.

Tarsa blinks and WILL forcefully spin him back around"Call him Lord Ciocan or his Lordship and your staying here, your see your friend...later"When ever later is "You also can salute."Yeah show him how to do that. Deep breath and a grumble. Then she has had issues before with hares.

Ciocan glowers, "Perhaps we should put him on half rations until he learns a bit of discipline but no... we are marching too much. Ah I know how about midnight patrol on the perimeter?" he scowls, "I am starting to wonder if Zolomon here can even match up to our rawest recruit."

Zolomon blinks, he looks at the badger Lord and his ears droop a little "Lord..Lord Ciocan....ummm midnight patrol?"

Tarsha  says, "Maybe your Lordship and its up to you of course how much of the day is for marching and how much is for training or rest. As for up early its the Long Patrol way..so get use to it recruit"Yes he is recruit for now, if he stays with this.

Ciocan hmms “We have been doing a lot of marching,”He listens to Zolomon and sighs,”I would ask how the abbot puts up with him, but the abbot is a kind old soul and likely would find it rude to say much.”

Tarsa nods as she looks at Zolomon “How are you with up in your face fighting?”

Zolomon blinks “Umm.....I can..use a saber..somewhat, I have punched out a vermin once..twice...and tis not like I go looking for a fight ta be close to”

Ciocan studies the hare”Why did you come along if you lack skills?”

Tarsa sighs “Well that can be fixed”She grins...oh yeah fun times.

Zolomon frowns and then speaks”Ok ok ..I need practice but I am fast on me foot paws, I can avoid hits and punches and run very fast I am an expert archer..and..and I can...get better with skills but I am NOT lacking good skills....sir” Wow he adding sir for once, he is learning.

Ciocan suddenly grins at Zolomon “Thar is that fire, use that on the battle field and focus and you may just make it.”

Not much else happen, some running drills and then finally some lunch, a sort of lunch as any normal hare wouldn't even call it a snack and soon sleep till first morning light a little training and..of course marching!!!
