WHOM:

Gorvenalus-Recorder of Redwall Abbey

Krisha- Badger Mother

Ferro-Blacksmith

some random beasts spoofed here and there...

LOG:

Krisha walks into the Cavern Hole and smiles at a couple beasts and nods to a passing novice. She has finally gotten into a sort of day plan it seems, once in a while a change of plans but not too often,most know where she is at any given time of the day now.

Ferro is by the fireplace as he watches her enter and clears his throat "I am heading back to Ferravale today..sssssssssoon in fact"

Gorvenalus makes his way into the room as well, a small pile of papers he has collected as he looks over to them "Travel is fairly ok for now, wouldn't wait to long though as the weather could change, perhaps sooner than we think as it has been colder lately"

Krisha sighs "Must you? Are you sure your ok traveling?"She glaces at Gorvenalus and back to her father "
Krisha asks, "Maybe stay here?"

Ferro asks, "SSSSSSSStay here?"He pouts now "I can not I am needed at my forge..sssssstaying issssssss not an anssssswer, you can maybe visssssssssit"He adds a small smile "I would like that"

Gorvenalus chuckles"Ferravale may need him after all Mother Krisha and a visit could happen, I am sure you can get a couple days travel for something important"

Krisha sighs, "Maybe..."She looks to Ferro "You should get back...Blisa is likely worried, but you never said if you had your stregth back I mean you were with Anwir..how long?Weeks..weeks and no one really knew"

Ferro nods "I feel fine..I can travel not to worry sssssssssso much.And yessssss I was misssssssing a while but was found and have , mostly recovered"

Gorvenalus says, "A checkup before you head out might halp Krisha feel better though Ferro"

Krisha nods"Yes it would.I am not too worried about the road the main issue was taken care of, there may be some random robbers but they are usually there, nothing new"

Ferro sighs "Fine...a quick checkup issssssssss all"

Gorvenalus smiles, he can do a quick checkup and afterwards will chat some "Though travel in daylight is still best.But enough on travel..I found some old menus for Benar by the way Krisha,maybe you can deliver them to him as he was looking for some old item for the Friar to make"

Krisha hmms as she nods "Intresting, I wonder what he is looking for. And yeah I can bring them to him he still can do some paperwork, for now he still been in his room..he might venture out I..I dont know"

Ferro asks, "Issssssn't there a feasssssst sssssssssoon?"

Gorvenalus says, "There is not, maybe a season naming but since Benar is still recovering he is skiping the Autumn feast and just having a better winter one to make up for it"

Krisha nods conforming it."Unless someone talks him into it but likely not, but its fine it s sort of one less worry after all and a feast is a lot of work after all"

Ferro nods "Well It will likely be jussssssst asssssssss good, more sssssssso even"

Gorvenalus says, "it will be good yes, I am sure...it is not too after at all they skip a feast and usually the next one is very good to make up for it"

Krisha smiles "As for a season name I can come up with one or ask the abbot for ideas"

Ferro says, "I have..no ideasssssss sssssssssorrry"

Krisha says, "Its fine father one will be figured out I am sure"

Gorvenalus says, "A good name is always figured out for a season even it its last moment"

Ferro says, "I am ssssssssssssssure winter will be nice here..I sssssssshall be in my forge ssssssssshop"

Krisha says, "You always stay in your shop, even when its not winter..you could get out more, ok in winter I understand you cant. least very far if you did...you stay at the shop and hope is connected to the shop, but maybe when its warmer go out more?"

Gorvenalus says, "Getting out and about is good, even a little in winter, if you can"

Ferro says, "it'sssssssssss too cold in winter timessssssssss to do much, the forge letsssssssss heat ssssssssssstay closed in the sssssssssshop and den"

Krisha sighs and shrugs "Anyways if you go out be carefull still"She would say this to anyone really"I need to get back to the dibbuns, excuse me"

Gorvenalus watches the Badger Mother go and shrugs to Ferro but a small smile "I am sure she will be fine, she is still balanceing Badgermother and Abbot duties after all, though some duties the Abbot can do now..well paperwork anyways and some meetings which Krisha is at anyways"

Ferro nods "I...sssssssshould get going it is after lunch and if go now..will get to ferravale by dinnertime"

Gorvenalus nods and then sits down to write in his journal.

==The first part I got off logger as is important to understand what the Abbot was told later on as got Benar and Matilda on briefly...and here is log ===

WHO:

Benar-Abbot of Redwall

Matilda-Champion of Redwall

Krisha-Badger Mother

Keldorn- Novice, then later on former Novice

Mack-Visiting Hedgehog warrior/cook

LOG:

Keldorn is eating a late lunch and seemed in some deep thought maybe he siped some water and had most of a bowl of soup gone.

Krisha sits by the shrew and offers a smile "You seem to be doing a lot of thinking lately Keldon, everything ok?"

Keldorn smiles "Greetings Mother Krisha I was just thinking of going to Halyard to, to be with my daughter for she is there now."

Mack walks in "Halyard be a fairly long trip, BeeN there many seasons ago...its an ok place, some parts not so good..other parts of the place is ok"

Krisha says, "Well it would be up to you Keldorn, not anyone else but It be good to decide soon as winter won't be fun travel""

Keldorn nods "I have traveled in snow before though if it comes it will not brother me and I can go the river route"

Mack says, "River travel huh..ha sounds fun...maybe those shrews could take you there"

Krisha says, "I will say this, if you decide this let me know so I can tell Abbot Benar, and if you go, be careful""

Keldorn chuckles "I use to be a warrior....and might even go back to that, so have no fear of me being unsafe and yes I have more than enough coin to get a new weapon made"

Mack asks, "A warrior turned abbey beast?"

Krisha will let the two talk as she goes to get some scones and tea, and coffee as well.

Keldorn says, "I have...missed the warrior life just a bit I think but I also miss my daughter and she has her work and business in Halyard"He chuckles "I..come from a very rich family..her mother left my daughter everything in a will and my daughter wants me to be fully in her life, not just a part time father"

Mack says, "I be with the badger mom if you want to go back to that life, do so Keldorn"

Krisha says, "He is right the only one who can truly choose what they want to do in life is the beast themselves"

Keldorn smiles "That is so true, I think...I...I do want to go to Halyard..family is important and I wish not to tell her no and...not be there, I did it once and it almost ended badly...well it did, she lost her mother and maybe she would not have had I fully be there for them"

Mack grins "Sounds like a good decision family is always very important in one's life"

Krisha nods "I..wish you well then Keldorn. I am sure Abbot Benar will understand your decision."

Keldorn nods "Thank you and I can say goodbye to Abbot Benar..I will miss the abbey but maybe being near family is what I have been missing, maybe that is what the shrews remind me of..time with my daughter and..I do have a brother there as well"

Mack says, "So family..so is good. Wish I had family but my parents are dead and I was an only child, it was by a miracle I was even born "

Krisha says, "I see the abbey as part of my family, and of course Xander. I see the dibbuns as my own"She sighs "I am unable to have my own dibbuns, had been with child but they were born way too early and died and Northstar was adopted and...she is gone"She sounds sad but she can talk about it now."

Keldorn nods, he frowns and has heard of the dibbuns"So how is Sir Xander doing anyways, any better?"

Mack asks, "Good point where is he, come to think of it where is Nardo at?"

Krisha says, "Xander has went to Ferravale to check on the tavern and Defender base and its unclear how long he will be there...Nardo also went but Xander is supposed to send letters so maybe Nardo will as well, Heard Nardo might become a healer of some sort, maybe help in the tavern"

Keldorn says, "Oh...well it is good to check on the tavern, I will check on him before I head off, Ferrvale is on the way , it's right before the river after all"

Mack says, "Maybe I will tag along, just to Ferrvale and then come back 'ere."

Krisha says, "That be a good idea and you can get a message back to me on how things are"

Keldorn says, "Company is always nice my friend and I am sure all is well in Ferravale and things are likely ok with sir Xander as well""

Mack says, "company is always good"

==Abbots Room==

Benar is looking over a letter he was handed earlier in the day, reading it over a 2nd time quietly.

Keldorn knocks on the door and waits quietly out in the hallway.He will only go in once he is invited.

Benar looks at the door, "Enter?" He folds the note and puts it aside and waits.

Keldorn smiles as he enters "Benar..I hope you are feeling better today my friend.I had..hoped to talk a little if I could, a decision I have come to decide on."

Benar nods "Well telling me in person is good, what is it Novice Keldorn?"

Keldorn nods "Mainly...about that...my daughter, I have mentioned her to you. She is in Halyard and wishes for me to go, my brother is there as well. I..think, no I know...I want to go and live in Halyard, with my daughter. I miss her and..she only has me now that her mother is dead, I had just learned my brother was there as well, still family of course and family is important, I do believe my friend. I know I took the novice pledge...and I have learned a lot. I think part of why I felt so..at home and alive with the Gousim is I missed my daughter and miss my brother. I planned to leave in the morning. I am..sorry for any disappointment I may cause."

Benar smiles "You have not..I had a feeling something deeper was on your mind but sometimes beasts have to work things out on their own. You are correct family is important and it would be best to be with your daughter and with your brother. Was you going alone?

Keldorn chuckles, "I am a ..a warrior..just a changed one since being a novice for a while..a more respectful one also"He smiles "I have maybe grown some you can say. Mack is heading with me and far and Ferrvale where I shall rest a day..maybe 2 and then head on down river to the sea and western shore, maybe get a log boat from the Gousim.I am sure they would allow it, I do have a small one I made myself for..visits and races as they wanted."

Benar nods "Just be careful, it's been a little colder than normal for this time in Autumn, but I am sure you will be fine Keldorn and I wish you well on your journey to Halyard, but I do request a note sent back to let me know you arrived safely."

Keldorn nods "Of course Abbot Benar....I likely will relax the rest of the day before bed."He bows and goes to head out of the room.

Benar holds up a paw "Keldorn, one last request before you head off"He nods to a novice passing by and smiles "Scones and tea with the Abbot and maybe some chatting, we have not chatted much and if you are to go to Halyard...a chat before you head off would be nice my friend"

Keldorn smiles as he sits down "i would like that, yes." They likely chat for a couple hours and drink tea, eat scones and then the shrew excuses himself as he then heads out of the room.

==The next morning==

Mack was ready to go and looked bored, but at least awake.

Keldorn came out with some supplies and nodded “Ready to go.”

Matilda watches them head off quietly, she made sure Keldorn had some supplies”Be careful on your trip Keldorn and Mack..don’t stay in Ferravale too long”

Mack grins “No worries..couple days I will be back and you still owe me a dance.”He chuckles a little.

Keldorn tilts his head curious

Matilda raises an eyebrow “Dance sir?”

Mack grins as he nods “For helping out de other day lass. See ya in a couple days”He then heads off with the shrew as far as Ferravale...visit with Nardo and then head back to the abbey.

Keldorn chuckles and waves a goodbye “I will send a letter once I am in Halyard...till then” A nod and his journey starts.

Matilda just shakes her head and gets inside.

WHO:

Patch-Spy,Trouble Maker,ale maker and Tavern Worker

Xander-Leader of Mossflower Defenders

Nardo- Healer

Sykes- weasel and all round bad beast

Various tavern beasts and town beasts spoofed

LOG:

The Redthorn Tavern is...well not quite the same.Patch sits by the fighting pits as a fight between a stoat and a fox rages on and beasts place bets to see who would win.The one in charge of the fighting pits doesn't seem like the rat though, looks like a fancy dressed weasel.

Xander walked into the tavern and just stopped short "W..Wot?" He looked around and snorted, ok keep cool...keep cool and find Patch, and have a nice...little..chat.

Nardo hmms "It's..interesting, oh let me guess something is different isn't it?"

Patch sighed and then looked to the door, he rubbed his eyes "No way....he left..."

The weasel hmmms "Who left Patch?" The fight ended and the stoat finished off his victim as the weasel looked to the door and grinned "A stripedog!" The rat frowned "They don’t like to be called that Skyes"

Xander takes a deep calming breath and walks over "And you are?" He looks at Patch and back to the weasel "You can exit the tavern now, have a good day...thank you"

Nardo walks up and sits at a close by table to watch, what he isnt dumb..a fight could easyly happen and he will stay out of the way.

Skyes stands and smirks "I don't think so...see, ok your bigger than me but ya see the tavern is..mine"Patch frowns "Umm I sort of lost the tavern in a ...little bet ya see..." Sykes chuckles "So I get to say who stays and gos...stripes go.."

Xander glares at Patch, oh he did not want to get moody tonight.He snorts and manages to control his temper.."Well Patch doesn't own it..I do..so LEAVE" He raises his voice at the end.

Nardo gets an ale and frowns a little, ok maybe he should look around the village, or stay in case a healer is like needed soon.

Patch frowns and looks at the floor as the weasel starts laughing insanely and grins "Ya see...he placed it on the table as...part of the bet and , well lost it"He shows the contract and smirks "Too bad..huh..so ya want it back do ya?"

Xander clears his throat "Patch..is an idiot...sorry Patch"Now..we can do this the easy way and ya leave MY tavern, or...the hard way, your choice Sykes..was it?"

Nardo frowns, and of course there is talk of a fight, possible bets are placed on who would win and lucky the healer doesn't place one.He just sighs "May as well stick around see who needs a healer...or death confirmed"

Patch sighs "Sorry Stripy..I..." Sykes quiets the rat with a look and glaces at the badger and just shrugs as if this bothers him not at all, he then grins as a wolverine attacks out of nowhere "Hard way suppose"

Xander was having all the focus on the weasel and Patch, then missed, just barely, the wolverin's attack! He gets knocked down and groans a little.He snorts and makes a fist to slam it into the wolverines face!

Nardo blinks as he drinks his ale and watches "Ok this is not good..umm Xander?" He looks at the badger and frowns a little "Maybe just like leave?"

Patch frowns, the weasel Sykes just chuckles and the wolvern howls as it jumps onto the countertop and cackles, it's a little wild but seems to listen to the weasel."That was enjoyable...drinks on me!"

Xander groans and spits blood...he is not gonna stay down as he stands slowly and looks right at the wolverine and steps unto the contour and glares.Fists made and a snarl forms"Try..that again I DARE YA!"

Nardo jaw drops as he looks between the badger and the wolverine,"Ok..guess I will just umm..be here if needed"

Sykes smirks "So we wanna play? Ok ...we play..."He lets the wolverine lunge at the badger again as he gets his own weapon out, a dagger he slips under his sleeve.

Patch seen the dagger and for now is quiet, he knows the wesel is not fair in fights.

Xander side steps and goes to grab the wolverine by the throat and slam it to the floor, if it tries to get up he breaks an ale bottle over it's head!

Nardo stays where he is, what he doesn't fight much really as others watch also.

Patch gasps, Sykes narrows his eyes as the wolverine goes down...twice as the bottle breaks over its head.The weasel slips behind Xander and goes to literally stab him in the back!..Patch cries out "Xander behind ya!!"

Xander sidestep and goes to slam the weasel into the table, if he is able to that is and grab the knife from the weasel's paw.

Nardo just watches all this, ok a fight is common in a bar..he tenses and then relaxes after a for sure painful if not deadly blow is missed.

Sykes is surely surprised and gets an arm to the face and falls backwards, he tries to slice at the badger before that paw goes to grab the knife, he tries to cause some damage and the dagger ends up loose in his paw. causing a little damage to his own paw now as he hissed in pain and blood falls to the table.

Xander eyes flash once...but he controls it, barely as the dagger gets the tip of his thumb taken off,he grabs the dagger finally and growls loudly as he lifts the dagger, goes to hold down the weasel and slams the dagger to the side of the weasel's head.

Nardo frowns "Ok that had to hurt ..ohhh and that is worse and looks painful"Good thing he has a medical pack with him and the abbey was so nice to supply him a few things they had extra of and he had some other things on his own.

Patch eyes go wide, Sykes screams in pain as the dagger goes right into his ear and pins him to the table.He gasps and goes to kick the badger in the stomach.

Xander is very alert and keeps a hold of the dagger in the ear, he looks as someone slides the weasel likely a dagger, nope it's his and goes into the other ear of the weasel looks like!He elbows the weasel in the chest and gets in his face "This is MY TAVERN...ya understand.?"

Nardo stays off to the side...oh boy what fun there is blood and beasts just still look to see who will win.

The weasel seems to get the picture and nods painfully.."Ok ok...tis your take it, take it...or"He smirks "Take This!" A dagger was hidden and goes towards Xander's chest!

Xander gets a look of surprise but the dagger doesn't seem to make him stop.He moves carefully and then with a quick arm movement he gets his large Blade of The Northwind Storms at the weasel's throat, he narrows his good eye.."Live...or die?"

Nardo gasps "Oh....ok that is bad, so bad...ummm"He kind of looks at the ground, if a head rolls off the table or a body he is so gonna pass out..yes he is a healer but there is always a first, he has yet to see a umm..possible headless body ok.

Patch blinks "Xander....XANDER!!" Sykes eyes widen at the blade at his throat, some thin lines of blood form "You..you should be dead...."He gulps a little "Live..live the tavern its yours..let me go..let me go.."Panic "LET ME GO!!!"

Xander moves slowly and snarls as he yanks the weasel up, and yes the weasel is gonna lose half of each ear and those daggers.The badger looks to have a dagger sticking out of his chest!!He takes the weasel and throws him out after having a stoat empty the weasels pockets, the weasel is literally throw out of the tavern and onto the road!The badger goes to sit down and pants..tried and grips the dagger and yanks it out...and looks at the hole in the cloak, the tunic and...the journal? Ok the tip did get him a little so there is some bruising and some blood but only a small bit as it barely went into the skin..the tunic and journal, which is destroyed, took most of the blow "So..much for Dorarose's idea on..writing...and I just got it today too, it was new"

Nardo rushes over as the weasel is ..well...gone, he frowns at the daggers and bits of weasel ear and looks to Xander "Let me see the....wot?" He looked surprised and checks him and looks at him"That journal just save ya life Xander..."

Patch looks to the door and the badger "Well..that was...ok"And the tavern is back in Xander's ownership "So..now what?"

Xander looked at the dead journal, and the wolverine "Throw it out too"Its is taken away. the journal cover and backing is thick too"We..have a serious talk Patch, very serious...so lock up I don't care if its an hour early..tell every beast to leave....Nardo can stay"His paw is bleeding some and he lost a tooth.

Nardo nods and can tend to the paw, swollen lip and some bruises..not so much a lost tooth,sorry.

Patch nods and stands "Ya heard Xander..out all..go on.."Least they all listen and soon it's the badger, Patch and nardo..Patch locks the door still and sighs."Can I umm..sleep first?"

Xander shakes his head "No"It's firm and serious, he will let nardo tend to the paw and the rat and him will have one ..LONG serious chat.As for bed, it comes as they each have an office and tonight only Nardo can have the special guest room, oh and the tavern is opening half an hour late....because Xander says so and he IS OWNER after all.

Nardo helps where he can and then sleeps, the guest room is awesome! So like he will enjoy it while it lasts, one night...hopefully he can talk them into a 2nd one...it's a wait and see.

Patch sighs, lecture..then he deserves it, the night is long but least he does manage to serve them each and himself a drink, make some fish stew before they head to bed, he hates lectures he decides...he also decides Xander likely got lecture lessons from Oz or maybe Oz would of been worse, it's hard to say..either way Lecture time was not enjoyable, not at all!!!

** The badger Lord had a recruit have Cera come to the forge....only it seemed the hare was late....late for a meeting with the Badger Lord of All beasts..I got on as Ciocan for this ...rather...interesting meeting ***

WHO:

Ciocan-Badger Lord

Cera- Provate and healer in LP

Also a random hare spoofed as messenger

LOG:

Ciocan had decided to work in the forge, get his mind off things going on lately. If he was needed he would go to the hare's aid. A report is what he was waiting on as he hammered away at a new blade he was making for one of the hares at the mountain.He had also repaired some armor and a saber earlier. Smoke rose and the room was fairly warm, then again it was the forge after all.

Cera came into the entry of the forge, she normally would just avoid this place but she was asked to come to the forge and wondered why.She almost just stayed in bed as she was already moody at a certain hare or two.But she came like last moment, ok she was an hour late but she didn't really care.She watched the badger work at the forge and then cleared her throat, the hare beside her just shake their head, they had been the messenger to get her here and at the same time seemed to just want to let the hare's present be know and leave.

Ciocan turned and nodded to the hares as he took the glowing blade with the thons and dipped it into the water.A lot of steam rose and he carefully laid it down on a special table "Thank you Recruit..."He then speaks "Private Cera...come closer, we need to chat"

Cera salutes and comes closer"You sent someone to talk..bout wot,I didn't remember doing anything."She sounds annoyed like she didn't sleep much, then again she was supposed to come right to the mountain and instead got s drink at the tavern and got in this morning and still waiting...an hour..to come see what was wanted or maybe needed.

Ciocan took off the gloves he used in the forge as he spoke "One, you were to be here an hour ago and 2..a report was sent that you were sent to the mountain, straight to the mountain yesterday afternoon and yet you were not seen till after breakfast today, so care to explain that first Private Cera?"

Cera frowns and then just shakes her head "I wanted to go to Halyard first, no one said not to go and didn't say straight to the mountain and why does it matter the last couple days have been very annoying...ya know toads..frogs..swamp muck and goo and then that grumpy old Gregorian was like so very rude and just..good grief. Like maybe he should brush up on some stuff before a memory little trip to not fun land"

Ciocan listens and for now keeps his temper down,"Who is your major and any other commanding officers?"

Cera speaks "Felicity and she got captured..so major Varus....we have no sergeant..Gregorian is like in charge of some other division so why even listen to him..he's old and annoying, and..old" Yes she said old twice."Is that ALL ya wanted?"

Ciocan says, "That is not all...I said we needed to chat cause of your actions."He looks at a report he gets off a chair.."Pushing a fellow private, talking back to an officer who yes was in charge of the trip to the swamps, you were told to report to the mountain and choose to, how do you young hares put it..party away ..and come back it seemed when you pleased, also when a higher up tells you to report to them, when I tell you to report to me..you do it right away" For sure when the badger wants to talk."Do we have an understanding of this?"

Cera rolls her eyes as she stays put, she then nods "Sorry..won't happen again but I seriously needed a drink after Mr. Bossy ears and its not like they need me anyways they have some healers suppose, not that I wanted to stay anyways..swamps are, they should be outlawed."

Ciocan speaks calmly" Sargent Gregorian was in charge and can be as bossy as he likes, he was in charge of the mission. Now you could of very well been helpful..fighting or healer, both but he was wise to send you back here as you could of endangered yourself or others in a rescue attempt."

Cera pouts as she looks at him and then the floor and mutters "Like you care..."She does stay as she was not dismissed, she speaks again "Ok..follow orders, I get it..I get it ok..sometimes things happen and all that yadda yadda"

Ciocan shakes his head and starts to say something, then arches an eyebrow "Wot did you say? Do please speak up."

Cera glares a little, she knows what he wants repeated.."I said like you care..I don't see you out there with the hares..but oh maybe you rather just stay here and wait on reports."She makes fists at her side"I mean the last time..or maybe was it the only time? You ever went anywhere further than the stupid beach was to go help Redwall and Mossflower...gee ya failed thar didn't ya....I mean how many loss? But oh let me guess ...not important hmmms, and wot about me!! No one seemed to care at the time..oh just a hare..one hare who cares...some lived oh boy...."She just sort of let things tumble out and likely to the wrong beast.

Ciocan eyes flash a moment and it takes ever bit of focus not to grab her by the ears and slam her into the wall.He takes a deep breath and it seems to barely help the mood he is in now"SIT DOWN!!" It likely also echoed a bit.His turn to glare and yes he is angry"How..DARE you say I don't care. I care about every hare in my mountain, every hare that has been here , is here or even will be here.One doesn't always know wot will happen on a mission, the unexpected happens at times...more times than you know. Yes the battle in Mossflower..was major and so was the loss, a win in the end at a great cost..the only time a mission is ever a failure is when one gives up and lets it be."He walks forwards and takes a deep breath, exhales "I made sure to look for ever hare...every..single...one..a list was made with ..every...single...name of the dead and the living, of injuries and any not found were looked for, even by myself..a couple found dead, one found alive.....one never found but still searched for even after we were to head home"

Cera gasped and quickly sit down shaking a little now...oh boy why oh why did she just raise her voice and say those words to the Badger Lord of all beasts.She gulps and closes her eyes as she listens...a couple tears go down her face.."I'm..I'm...I'm...."Words are not getting free from her.

Ciocan stares at her and snorts and another deep breath before he speaks "Quiet....." He says and takes a couple moments to speak again"One hare ..stationed at the abbey was told to keep looking for you and to report to me right away once you were found..dead or alive. You were not forgotten..I do not forget any of my hares, any of them. I keep in contact with a small pawful whom left the Patrol.As for whats happening in the swamps, if I am needed I will go aid my hares. There is still a lot of very skilled hares in the patrol and some whom are becoming vert skilled, others are slowly learning...but training does take a long time and one must listen to orders Private Cera and when orders are not taken seriously...one must decide what to do with the one not following orders...so wot should be done with you Private Cera?" He will listen, he has a mix of anger and also ...sadness in his voice.

Cera frowns and finally gets out "I'm..sorry!" She listens and blinks.."Hare at Redwall?..."Wait he means "Ewan?" Yeah she remembers Ewan being a little too curious of her and recognizing her also and just figured he was being...well Ewan cause wasn't he like..a clumsy hare or something, but also seemed to be smarted than he looked.She frowns "Do with me?" She flattens her ears "Kick me from the patrol....cause I spoke back to..you of all beasts.."She says quietly and looks at the floor, shaking a little as she doesn't want kicked out, she really doesn't and she is truly sorry for her stupid words.

Ciocan stares at her for a long time and then goes to very gently raise her chin so she can look him in the eye, she can turn away if she want but if she does look he does have a tear go down his face."I care for...all my hares, when you were not found I was upset. I already felt great loss when so many died, but it was worse not knowing he fate of a missing hare, one missing hare..you did matter. I got news you were found and on your way here and I am glad you are back with us."He steps back "You will not be kicked out...but" There is a but " 3 weeks...no pay, no mission, no leaving the mountain for anything...you will still train and be at meals, all other times in your room.I will have Major Varus decide wot else is a fitting...punishment for the list of things you have done in the last..2-3 days..." He lists them "Pushing a fellow Private, talking back to a sergeant and worse..talking back to me...also the fact of being told to go back to the mountain and instead going to Halyard and coming back to the mountain till the next day and being an hour late when you were to report to me for the chat we are having right now."

Cera looks up at the badger and frowns, she nods in understanding"Ye...yes sur...I..I understand..."She then suddenly starts to cry, not cause she is in trouble, just all this bottled up...feelings and she finally let them out, and the reaction could of been so much worse..then 3 weeks of no pay and likely extra training and just starring at her room is a lot really, but could of been worse.

Ciocan takes a large paw and goes to hug the hare, he doesn't like to punish anyone but its needed at times and he has dealed with worse and is glad this time it ended better.He nods after a while "You are dismissed Private Cera...and I expect you to have a talk with Major Varus, he will get a report on all this"Likely knowing he has gotten some of the report already.

Cera cries into his chest and sniffs, she steps back and nods..a salute and then slowly heads to her room as its a couple hours yet till lunchtime.

Ciocan watches the hare maid leave and then goes back to work on the sword he was making earlier, he will likely have lunch in the forge and work on some weapons and armor, repairing some armor and weapons and go to bed a little late tonight.If he is needed elsewhere though, he will go.

Who:

Patch-Spy, annoying rat, troublemaker and tavern worker

Krisha-Badger Mother

Anwir- Evil lizard

John- Warrior

Matilda- Champion of Redwall

Xander- Leader of Mossflower Defenders

LOG:

Krisha made sure Sister Ginny and Brother Rick..and a Sister Anna was able to watch the dibbuns, just a few hours as she promised to be back by story time if she didn't find who she was looking for. She had been concerned and then frowned when Xander just walked off after his =sorry all= statement, she was glad to see him say sorry but when he just walked out she followed and seen him go out the gate. She would miss him coming back a couple hours later.

Anwir was annoyed, he had taken his anger of lost captives out on the traveling caravan of beasts, it was fun and he enjoyed chaos. But it was just a random thing, his real plan was to seek revenge and finish what he started seasons ago.He just needed to find out where the beasts went as at least his brother couldn't get far at all.

Patch was on the road, keeping an ey out for trouble as he had got some things from the Black Gull to take back to Ferravale, along with him was a couple stoats as they had a small wagon with them."See not too far and not ta worry pay is good fer helping me"

Krisha frowns, ok maybe she should turn around as she was having no luck and it was starting to get dark soon, besides she didn't have a direction to go anyways, there was other ways to find him so she turned around to head back.

Anwir muttered, he then stopped as he saw movement up the road and went to go behind a tree, upon seeing who it a grin forms and he slips quietly behind her.

Patch speaks with the couple stoats "Pay best be good Patch"The rat rolls his eyes "It is. it is...ok..and this stuff is good ale...kay?" He sighs and looks board as they walk along and happens to look off the path and hmmms"Something is off...or just me"

The stoat chuckles "The rat us afraid of the dark "

"Am not..."

More chuckles.

Krisha frowns, she stopped to look back and forth and shakes her head as she got a couple more steps in before a clawed paw went around her chest, her eyes widen as she manages half a scream before another claws paw likely covers her mouth.

Anwir grip tightens as he gives a low hiss,he whispers in her ar before quickly finding a knockout dart jabbing it into her arm if he can "Missssss mezzzzzz...hmmmmmm?"

Patch frowns, a scream..scream is never good and he usually just gets further away from that sot of thing especially when its close like that, he quickly climbs a tree to look, the two stoats just look at one another and back to him "Ummm..whats bout the cart and ale?"

Krisha tenses in fear, not him...not him as she kicks backwards and goes to bite his paw before the dart is felt and the urge to sleep, she struggles and only fails as the dart works and she slips into unwanted sleep.

Anwir hissses as he catches her and lifts her up, he has decided it was unwise to keep the one den, he found another one that he goes to now, for now things are going his way.

Patch catches sight of..."Oh no..this is bad, very very bad.."He backs up and eeeps as he almost falls from the tree but grabs a branch just under the one he is on and gets the rest of the way down"You two get to de tavern....I GONNA go"

"Hey were were supposed to be paid!!."...

"I will pay ya later...kay....good...bye!!"

Krisha starts to fight a little before she is fully knocked out and no this is not good, far from good in fact.

Anwir is lucky not paying attention to trees and luckly the tree the rat choose still has enough leaves to hide him..he slips down a path in the woods but its no a for sure where it leads, cant be too many places a monitor can call a den though.

Patch had watches a short while but he knew time was important and he had to find someone, anyone and that anyone could get others , right?

A rustling noise comes from the yellow and red trees along the road stronger than the slight breeze of today. Leaping from a great oak to a beech, John is out and about. His bare footpaws connect briefly with a branch before jumping off to an ash. The fighter squirrel has forgone the majority of his gear, having only his sword and crossbow slung to his back and out of the way. His paws grasp another branch, hauling him up as he listens for any sound out of the ordinary while he moves.

Patch is..running? He looks a little spooked as he looks around, muttering something and just about runs into a tree, he lucky stops before the tree conencts, he frowns and looks around, not that he is far from the abbey now as seems that is where he is heading."Ok...get self tagether..your fine and Abbey is close.."Ok he can hear a bell, likely some tea time bell who knows."Close..yeah"

The abbey's not the only thing close to the rat. John stops, hearing only a little of what Patch said, before turning and pushing himself off to the tree the rat had nearly ran into. The squirrel scurries around the trunk to land on the ground behind the trunk, hidden from view. After adjusting his sword to now be at his side, he unsheathes the blade as he steps out, letting out a cheery greeting. "Why, 'ello there, Patch, what brings y'round here?" He is blocking the way to the abbey.

Patch frowns as he sees the blade "Your..familiar...who cares I gonna gets ta de abbey move it fuzz tail" He says, he looks behind him as if he thinks he was followed and frowns "Sides...did nothing to ya and dim stoats they helped me get some ale from de Gull......"

"Least m'tail looks no' like a worm as yours does, rat." John shoots back, not moving. Instead he raises the sword tip to point at Patches throat. "Now come on then, I can take y'to th'abbey, I can. An' y'can tell me why y'were in such a hurry while we walk." He lowers the blade, his eyes staring Patch down. "Y've done enough in th'past t'make me wary of y'."

Patch gulps a little "Bu..Not..recently...look there is a monitor on the road and...and he has someone kay..ya may ask well why didn't ya stop it....ya crazy in de head? Monitors eat meat, ya know me...you..walking snacks to them"

Nodding, the squirrel gives an almost friendly shrug. "'Suppose that's true, aren't it?" John holds the blade by his side now, in a far less threatening stance. "O'course..." He tilts his head to one side, looking the rat up and down, "This monitor, I can guess who it were, I can." His voice drops dangerously low, hissing the question out: "Who were it th'monster took, eh? I'd sooner ask tha' than expect y'to face it, I do."

Patch frowns "I only got a brief look cause..heard a scream and..guess he like knocked her out and carried her off...de Badgermaid from the abbey, de one Stripy knows"

John gives a long, deep sigh, muttering. "Of /course/ she did." Stepping to one side to look northwards, he asks, "An' how long ago were this?" He turns back to the rat, tossing his sword and catching it. "I'd suggest y'remember everthin' y'can right now an' let me know, I do. Better for th'both of us, aye, it will be."

Patch replies "Few mintues ago....she was likely lookin' fer someone, not liek..well maybe tis like..I dont know why she be outside abbey ok...I didnt give her de idea..I do know stripy was missing or left the area" He has yet to be updated on too much.

"If y'don' clean up your tone, rotbreath, I swear..." The squirrel shakes his head, sheathing his blade. "Well, looks like your lucky," John says, "I don' trust y'as far as I can spit, but, go," He points southwards, "Go on ahead t'th' Abbey an' tell them th'same. An' f I find y've lied I'd suggest leavin' th' country, I do."

Patch asks, "And why would I lie? I trys ta know what is going all in Mossflower when I can..remember?"

Giving the rat a long, hard look, the squirrel doesn't answer. Instead, he starts pawing the hilt of his blade as if he were to draw it again. "I suggest y'start runin' again 'efore y'tick me off, rat." Unbuckling his sword-belt, he slings it over his shoulder next to the crossbow and starts for the nearest tree. "One more thin' 'efore we part." John says over this shoulder as he does so, "Where were this? How far up?"

Patch backs up a little and speaks " Not too far from the Black Gull...more this side than de north side and the lizard went into the woods somewhere"

Nodding, the squirrel doesn't bother with any farewells, climbing the oak without a word or even a look at Patch. He soon is leaping and jumping north to the place the rat described with all the speed John can muster.

==At the Gates==

Patch rushes up and frowns "Hey..hey..news...hey..pincushion!!"

"Its Matilda, get it right" The Chamoion said as she came into view "What do you want Patch?"

Patch frowns "He goes her..."

Matilda speaks "Who has..who now?"

Patch answers "The..lizard..thing..has Krisha..."

Xander walks into the worse chats "Umm Matilda have ..you...seen?" He catches Patch's words and right away is getting his blade.

Matilda was already at the gates, "Just stay 'ere we will find her."

Xander seemed to not want to take no for an answer"She is my wife!!" A deep breath and a slow nod, "Fine..."A frown "Just...be careful" He sighs and heads on inside, he will stay...of course if he thinks its taking too long...he might venture out, maybe.

Patch nods "She has a point Stripy....I mean...it will be ok..."He frowns, will it?" So..umm...I need an ale now..."

Xander looks ready to slap the rat, but he holds back as if he did..umm wouldnt end well as he goes to sit on teh wall tops and stare at the road.

Patch backs up, the wise thing to do and nods "Ok..i can..find me own.."Yes he serious needs an ale after all this.

Matilda- Champion of Redwall

Xander-Leader of Mossflower Defenders

Keldron-Novice at Redwall

LOG:

Matilda walks into the infirm and glaces at Xander "Xander? Did you want to talk any, not sure how well I can help, but I can try"

Xander is sitting up in bed and shrugs. he feels better sting wise, but seems depressed now "Talk bout what? Beast are afraid of me..I think Benar is, is Benar afraid of me?" He looks at the champion for an answer.

Matilda frowns "I..I don't know. I didn't ask. He did ask me to try and talk to you, me or Dorarose..or someone anyways"

Keldorn is bringing in some food and nods a hello to them "Hello to you both..we have dinner if you want any, and tea"

Xander says, "He is..isn't he?" He looks away and frowns, standing slowly and sitting down to go ahead and eat his food, drink some tea...well least he is eating and drinking again "I..should leave...wot I done was horrible and the abbot..I thought he was dead and he well could of been, I know this now and its my fault..and some fear me and I don't want that"

Matilda says, "Thanks novice Keldorn...and Xander..ok look, you cant change the past, its done happen and yes some may fear you , so your need to regain some trust is all, it may take time but..it can be done"

Keldorn says, "Yes sir Xander and besides some only saw at a distance and sometimes beasts spread what they think and one does not always look for ...other sides to the story..I say tell the abbey beasts you are sorry, tell Benar you are sorry"

Xander nods "I..I can do that...least tell others and write a note to Benar..."Then leave and not come back ."

Matilda frowns "Wait...no, no need to do that Xander, beast here care about you and I said before Abbot Benar is alive..hurt but alive"

Keldorn says, "She speaks the truth, leaving would be wrong...trust me" He has his own tea he sips a little now and smiles "Friends are here that care for you and can help"

Xander frowns "Beanr is a afraid of me...he is, tell me the truth...and wot about Krisha, she was in here like..once and not many even want to see me, you said yourself Benar doesn't and wot if..if I harm someone else or worse....kill someone, wot if its.."He frowns "Krisha..."He frowns deeply as he stands again,he looks at the ring on his paw, and slides it off laying it down on a table"I'm a danger..to..beast"Tears form as he looks at the door"I'm..I'm sorry..I'm so very sorry...." He goes to leave, not the abbey yet no but the infirm

Matilda watches him and frowns, "Xander...wait..think please..you just need help, let us help you...dont leave the abbey..I may not be the best to talk to, I don't know who is."

Keldorn watches Xander, "Sir..Xander..do not make a mistake you will later regret, you may...think its a good idea but it is not, trust me...do think, your mind uis like fog filled right now, you need to clear the mind."

Xander tears go down his face, "I wont leave....yet..I am gonna tell beasts at dinner I am sorry, then I am..am leaving"He rushes off to somewhere in the abbey, he needs alone time though its not too certain his mind will clear right now, its not clear what is going through his mind....but he knows he needs help, but as the champion said..whom?

Matilda stands and reaches out "Xander!!! Wait..."She looks at Keldorn as if to ask, what do I do now?

Keldorn watches Xander rush off"For now...give him some time and space...I will try to speak with him, but the final decision is up to him and just him"

WHO:

Matilda- Champion of Redwall

Benar-Abbot of Redwall

Cynthia- Sister at Redwall

LOG:

Matilda had breakfast and went to change before she went to speak to and check on the abbot, she had gotten news yes but had not had a chance to check on him since he fell, she was busy with other issues that needed attention, mostly find a certain badger,which she found yesterday afternoon.She waits to knock, then does so lightly, if needed she could come back later.

Benar calls out "come in" And looks up from the armchair by the fireplace. He has finally gotten sick of being stuck in bed and against the protestation of the healers moved into his sitting room and is curled up in his armchair. His thick grey tail coiled around his legs and over his lap like an extra large blanket.

Matilda walks over and nods, she speaks "Your being...careful correct Benar?" Ok she is concerned when she sees him sitting in the chair but at the same time glad to see he is feeling better enough to be in the chair "There is news, I am not sure if you revived any, I meant to tell you last night but you had fallen asleep before I could"

Benar says, "I am being fine Matilda, I am not going out, I am not trying to use my arm, but I am not sitting in bed like a lemon when I can sit in my office and read..." he shuts his book and smiles, "What news is that my Champion? Come in and sit down too..." he motions to the other chair."

Matilda goes to sit down "First...we have guests, half a dozen beasts from a Mossflower Village and a slightly annoying ferret named Nardo..whom is a healer."She then adds "Also found Xander...with some help of some other beasts, the Gousim even had looked for him as well"

Benar leans back in his chair, "Well visitors are nice, Krisha didn't mention them... do please pass on my greetings to them. And a ferret? Been awhile since we had one of those under our roof... as for Xander..." He frowns, "I don't want to see him Matilda, not until someone can assure me whatever wild impulses or memory loss related problem has been treated."

Matilda nods as she listens "I or..Mother Krisha can speak to him, I am unsure whom else....right now he is in the infirm, least its not fight related..seems he disturbed a nest of hornets had some sort of bad delayed reaction."She sighs "Any...ideas on whom should speak to him here in a couple days perhaps?"

Benar says, "Angela would be my first port of call if his wife can't get through to him," he frowns at the hedgehog, "I... have tried, but all i did was make him angry and then he almost killed me so I think for now I will stay away."

Matilda says, "Likely wise for now, I will make sure he doesn't come into your room" Its her guess Benar will be in his room for a while anyways."I have yet to...talk to Xander myself, I could maybe try a little or least get his side of ehat happen"

Benar says, "I think talking to you might help him, or Dorarose, maybe he needs another warrior to talk to... I do not know..." he sighs and shakes his head, "I really do not know how to help him I am afraid. I can run the abbey, but fixing badgers is beyond me."

Matilda offers a smile "You cant help everyone.Guess its a wait and see on what will happen with Xander but I also know Mother Krisha cant take too much time trying to help him and maybe a fellow warrior could help him...I never had any bad anger issues like that"
.
Benar says, "Well if Krisha needs to spend time with him we can make time, he is her husband after all and the Elders can always pick up some of her duties, and i am well enough to start going over paperwork again at least."

Matilda says, "Just paperwork.....I believe the harvest is in now, so one less thing to worry on. There may be a trip to the market place for any last minute supplies and I can always led some beasts there and back..but the woods and roads have not had any ill reports lately"

Benar says, "Yes the harvest is in, Krisha mentioned that... but we do need someone to ask some of our squirrel residents to check the roof before winter," he smiles, "I can't go up there myself currently... oh and we need to check the winter shutters on all the windows"

Matilda nods as she is good at making a mental note, "What of the guests? I am not sure they lived at this...pub or not....it was a small pub ...some stove messed up and caused a fire...and they will be rebuilding what was damaged of the pub...they may need to stay a few weeks." She seems to remember one other thing and frowns "There is...one other thing, but its more of a Ferravale issue...I was unsure of mentioning it or not least to..someone else"

Benar smiles, "Beasts are always welcome in the abbey, if they need someplace to stay whilst they rebuild their home they are more then welcome to stay with us, please ask Foremole to offer his help with their rebuilding," he frowns, "As For Ferravale you should tell me Matilda"

Matilda nods, she sighs "I...don't know all the details and I know Ferravale is handling it..Ferro is missing, I found out when I spoke with Patch as I was going to see if Ferro had seen Xander and to help me look for him...but Ferro has been missing the past few weeks, no one seems to know where he went just he was supposed to only be away a few days and his shop has not been open, for a while....I did not update Krisha of this as...she does have enough issues and I know he is her father"

Benar frowns, "That is... worrying... I do hope he turns up," He reaches out to touch the hedgehogs arm with his other hand, "And no Matilda... you must never keep secrets like this, not from the family, if something awful has happened and she finds out later you where hiding it, it will do more harm then not... even with everything going on you must tell her."

Matilda nods "Alright, maybe after dinner tonight i will then Benar. I do hope its nothing serious as well, as we have some weeks now till winter and some cold weather has started in the evening already...which reminds me need to check on the sparrows see how they are doing, I know drafts can get up there at times"

Benar says, "It is possible he has gotten waylaid someplace and will be home safe and sound in a few days,"

Matilda nods "Lets hope...for now my concerns will be with the abbey and making sure you recover without being brothered too much"She smiles "We want to be able to see our Abbot at the next feast after all"

Benar says, "Well thank you Matilda, it is nice to know you are out there helping to keep the abbey safe."

Matilda says, "I do what I can...usually Patrol around, I should go to Ferrvale more often than I do, the place just makes me nervous is all"

Benar smiles, "Well thank you Matilda, and I am just glad to have you with us and be able to offer me advice when I need it," He shuffles through his papers and holds one out, "Here is my check list for the roof inspection, can you sort that?"

Cynthia knocks on the door and waits quietly for the abbot to reply.

Matilda takes the checklist and nods as she looks it over, she can get another look later as she smiles "I can make sure what is needed to be done, is done.And I hope my advice is good when its given, hmmms I wonder if Brother Gorvenalus could prehaps try and speak with Xander at all"She glaces at the door when the knock is heard.

Benar says, "Gorvenalus may help... but I do not think Xander wants to listen to scholars..." he frowns at the door, "WOuld you see who that is Matilda?"

Cynthia pokes her head inside but doesnt come in all the way as she says a simple "Hello..."

Matilda starts to go check and smiles "Cynthia...did you need anything?I can see if the abbot would like any other company or not"

Benar frowns as Cynthia just opens his door and sticks her head in like that, but thankfully Matilda's large form is between him and the young mouse, he doesn't say anything and lets Matilda deal with her for now. He'll wait to hear what she wants before he lets her in fully.

Cynthia says, "I was seeing how he was is all.."She then adds "By the way, if I wanted to visit someone who would I ask permission of....I was thinking of seeing a shrew named Oswald, at the Guosim camp and I can take some another beast with me and I wouldn't be gone too long...couple days visit..I could even help out at their camp for those couple days if that was needed."

Matilda looks back towards the Abbot and then to the mouse as she thinks quietly , "I..could take you, its not too far from Ferravale and I need to check on something there here soon, maybe give an update on how the Abbot is....just let others know..maybe here...tomorrow or the day after that. One of the Gousim could always walk you back"

Benar raises his voice, "Come on in Cynthia, it would be lovely to see you," He has composed himself now and is happy to talk about things other then how he is feeling, "I don't see any objection to you going to visit the GUOSIM but ask Krisha for permission." He smiles at the mouse, "If Matilda is happy to escort you that would be fine and i am sure the GUOSIM would bring you back."

Cynthia smiles as she walks in, "Hello Benar..and I had heard Oswald was there, thought I see how he was and show him how I have improved with singing and playing the lyre and harp...even dancing. I could even do some at the Autumn feast maybe and..yes I can let Mother Krisha know..wouldn't be gone too long"

Matilda lets the mouse in and stays close, "I know where the camp is and was there...once, be nice to check up on how thy are "

Benar says, "Well that sounds fine, I am sure Oswald will be pleased to see you, he was here at the Summer feast before rejoinign his brehtren at the GUOSIM camp, so please do enjoy your trip. But make sure Krisha can spare you first"

Cynthia nods "I know Caleb helps a lot with the orchards and I help in the gardens where I could...I may or may not take Cota but he is only of novice age...weather he becomes one or not I don't know, leaving it up to him"

Matilda says, "Mother Krisha would know more on what is still needed, the gardens may be ok now seeing as harvest is in...also maybe Cota could start some classes...Brother Gorvenalus and Mother Krisha does classes mostly...and think Brother Rick"

Benar asks, "I still have yet to meet Cota properly, you should bring him up to visit me tomorrow perhaps before you leave my dear? I would like to get to know your son a little bit."

Cynthia nods "I can do that. Maybe late morning as to not be too early or the day after...I could then go on to the Gousim camp by then would have told the main ones who need to know, where I will be"

Matilda says, "That is wise to let beasts know yes."

Benar asks, "Well that sounds lovely Cynthia, I will look forward to meeting him, but how are you finding being back here in the abbey?"

Cynthia chuckles "Busy....but I am glad to be , well be home the abbey is my home and I missed it and missed seeing friends...even though I didn't get to see all my friends, its still good to be back and I don't plan on going anywhere else,no more traveling to far off places"

Matilda says, "Traveling short distances is fine, wouldn't go anywhere too far, likely wouldn't get too far before snows hit"

Benar says, "Well it is nice to travel and see places, but it is always a delight when one gets home and sees their loved ones, we are glad to have you back with us,m you have all been missed"

Cynthia smiles "I know...we did get slightly lost in the woods but found the correct path and made it to the abbey..shortcuts are not always the best at times and sometimes even are longer than the main path"

Matilda chuckles "I likely get lost if someone said a path was a shortcut, though I do know my way around a lot better now than I did"

Benar says, "Well the woods can be disorientating, especially if you have been away from them for awhile, but you are all home safely now""

Cynthia says, "Yes..we got back safe and sound...which I am glad of...not really too much happen was part of a sort of traveling show a while and then went to stay at a village and decided to come home"

Matilda stands "I should check on the things on the list"She points to the one she was given " I will see you at Dinner Benar..."

Benar says, "See you later Matilda and thank you for dropping inn, and Cynthia have a good day, I should rest for now"

Cynthia nods "I should probally get some chores done...cant say missed chores ..see you tomorrow then"

Xander- Leader of Mossflower Defenders

LOG:

Krisha was ..crying, she was trying not to but she was failing badly.She was holding Xander's paw as she sat beside him in the chair.

Matilda was passing the infirm and poke her head inside and frowned, she walked in and laid a paw on Krisha's shoulder, "Mother Krisha...."

Nardo was nearby, he had decied to stay in here, they let him help a little bit, he left the badger and hedgehog alone.

Krisha sniffs, "He won't respond to his name, he wont wake up but he shivers like he is cold but seems to be burning up with fever."

Matilda just frowns "I don''t know much healing...I should learn I suppose.But he is in good paws here..."She looks at the ferret and sighs "Nardo? You said you...know about hornet stings...also sorry earlier, just stress"She is still not totally trusting him, only right now as it seems he did help.

Nardo sits up, stands up and walks over to look at the badger, "It..may take time, his reaction isn't as bad as..some I seen...he didn't get stung as much as..."He frowns, "My mate..her name was Connie....she was wanting some apples on a trip, a tree along the path...didn't know a hornet nest was there till it was too late..I got stung 4 times on the arm...she got stung like...20 times...she felt pain and then seemed ok, we even..raced to the creek the next day all was well...till later couple nights later when they swelled up again, fever....and she had trouble breathing and slipped into a deep faint, she..she died before sunrise but unlike your..guessing mate...I didn't get what she needed in time, she had a lot more stings than he does..lot more." He checks a pulse and fever before looking between them"If he makes it to morning, he will be fine."

Xander shivers a little, his fever is still high, as high? Its not certain. His pulse and breathing isn't worse, nor better its about the same and his arm and paw still swollen

Krisha seems to worry more and more as the words are spoken and drags a cot to put right beside Xander's so she can lay beside him and place an arm around him.

Matilda decides to leave them be,she glaces at Nardo "A couple healers Angela and Gorvenalus are gonna be in here soon, just so you know..you can tell them what you know of the hornet stings...ok?"

Nardo simply nods and he will stay out of thier way as well so they can better help the badger.

Xander shivers a little less and whimpers slightly in his sleep, "No...no no...didn't mean..."Another whimper

Krisha just stays at his side but falls asleep soon, rest is likely good for her right now.

Matilda watches them and then heads to bed like she started to earlier,though its still pouring down rain!..Ok fine she can rest in here, its fine..she is too tried to walk to her cottage in the rain and soon sleep over takes her.

In the morning a weak groan escapes Xander as his eyes open,he coughs and tries to focus on where he is.

A mug of water is offered to him and the voice of the champion "Drink some water and go back to sleep Xander.."

Xander sips some water and focuses on Matilda and frowns a little, a little more water is drank and he sort of have focuses on her, and the fact a sleeping Krisha is beside him.

Matilda smiles a little, "Sleep...please...ok."She pats his not sore arm gently as she goes to check on Benar...well after Brekfast...

** I had Matilda on **

==Infirm of Redwall==

Matilda had a long week, almost a week and a half and the thunderstorm didn't help much.She almost had asked if there was some other place to go but decided to just get to the abbey. It was for the best and they only had about a 4 hour walk and her footpaws were sore, sore from all the walking,then walking back here with no rest.She slowed as they were at the abbey and looked over at Nardo studying him briefly before speaking "Infirm first, then we can discuss anything else that's needed to discuss."

Nardo nods in understanding, this was the abbey after all and ....well his outfit wasn't the best to make him seem..that trustworthy, but the half a dozen beasts from Mossflower village trusted him, a couple otters...voles and even a squirrel, they have helped get Xander back here, he nods "Understandable but I don't plan to harm anyone...Mack.."He frowns, and again "Mack..trusts me, he was given me a chance..then his stove goes haywire and his pub...look I would say ask..him but he's a bit unconscious and the abbey is likely the best place....long as they have what's needed for a bad reaction to hornets...I blime Mack and Luke they were the ones in the tree..where the hornets were in the first place."

Xander was unconscious still, he woke briefly only to pass out again, still wrapped in the blankets and on the homemade stretcher they had, he didn't even have a clue where he was or he likely try and walk away best he could.

Matilda nods as she puts away her blade and speaks with the couple beasts who open the gate to let some others know she is back and leads the way to where the infirm is, taking the open ground route

Nardo looks around as they are in the infirm, a couple beasts look at the small gathering as the ferret hmmms softly and looks at the half dozen villagers "I can....take it from here...or me and the healers here..can"He nods to the hedgehog "Figured you wouldn't want them in the way, though I have no clue where they could..rest a bit?"

Matilda thinks a moment and walks forwards "You may rest in the Great Hall..Brother Rick can show you the way and we can have some tea and there is some leftover stew from lunch it seems"She offers a smile and goes to sit down, tried and she can check on others later on.

Nardo is a healer and knows what herbs and which, a quiet talk with a couple beasts, though an eyebrow is lifted once as the ferret sighs "Trust me...it helps just get it..."He finds a couple other things as he quietly talks "I can replace what I use, not to worry..."He checks on the badger as he sighs"I knew he was not feeling not well when he went off to find Mack.....I have seen delayed reactions to things like this before...bee stings, spider bites, in this case disturbing a hornet nest and getting stung a few times...one may not think it's bad as a reaction is small and seems to clear up and then surprises you a couple days later."

Xander still has his fever, his arm is swollen from where the stings happen, and one on his right pinky finger. His breathing and heart rate seem ok right now, it was a little worse earlier than it is now, plue he is likely to be unconscious a couple more hours.

Matilda listens as she watches him, "Interesting, I will need to let Mother Krisha know your here and that....xander was found"She thinks and adds "But to not rush over here"Maybe she will just let it be known they have guests, she can let it be know she found Xander as well."So...who is Mack?"

Nardo thanks a novice as they get a couple things he needed and makes a small paste for the swollen arm and paw, he also has a couple herbs and one here he adds to a little water."A good friend and it worries me he wasn't with Xander.."He goes to get the watery mixture he has down the badgers throat."There..was this...beast, they had showed up the night before..showed up after the umm...stove messed up and the pub was on fire, the rain at least stopped it before it got serious, but the beast grabbed mack and xander went after them.."

Xander coughs as he gets the mixture down but likely won't be waking anytime soon

Matilda mutters a just what we need before standing and heading into the hallway.

Nardo looks at the badger and excuses himself letting the healers take over after he says a couple quick things on how to keep an eye on hornet stings and follows the hedgehog."What about Mack, will someone help look for my friend, who is out thar...somewhere"

Matilda stops as she looks to the ferret, arms crossed and then shakes her head "We will discuss that, right now this is important and you can stay here, just...follow the rules and we get along"

Nardo starts to speak and quickly is quiet before he nods and goes to follow her as it's not like he knows his way around this place.

==Abbots Room==

Benar is sitting up in bed, his left arm in a sling and carefully looked after. After a week in bed he is looking better, his new glasses perched on his muzzle as he reads through some of the reports and papers he has managed to get hold of. He pauses in reading to look out the window at the gathering clouds and frowns at the starting raindrops.

Krisha is in the hallway, she has checked on the abbot a couple times when she wasn't busy,another voice is in the hallway also "I am sure things will be fine" Krisha sighs "Lets hope so..."She then goes to knock on the door, but not too loudly.

Benar glances back from the windows, "Come in Krisha," He says softly, "It is nice to see you," He leans back on his pillows and waits for the Badger Mother to come inside.

Krisha walks in and gives a nod to the abbot."I am glad to see you awake, couple other times you were asleep and they thought it best that you...had some rest" She sounds a little tried but she is doing fairly well with all the stuff she has been needing to do and at the same time trying to not worry about beasts.

Benar asks, "Yes I have been not feeling the best, my head still hurts a little but the headaches have gone so that's a good thing," He smiles, "How is everyone?"

Krisha nods as she replies "The abbey is fine, The last of the harvest was just about in and records were kept of what we have, not much in need of anything and there is always a quick market trip if needed. Matilda was...out looking for...someone"She frowns a little, she seems worried and clears her throat as she speaks more "The dibbuns have behaved well, was one problem where they tried to hide the green beans but it was taken care of."

Benar says, "Well I am glad to hear it Krisha," He smiles at the badger, "I am glad to hear you have been managing everything, it sounds like you have been doing a good job""

Krisha says, "As good a job as I can Abbot Benar, I also had to let the abbey beast know you were ok, they were fairly worried. I try to answer what I can and if I can't I simply said I didn't know."

Benar says, "You have been doing fine Krisha," He smiles at her, "I have been keeping my ear to the ground, but everything has been going quite well. You have done a good job"

Krisha says, "I am just glad it wasn't worse. I believe it was an accident, I know some don't think it was. And the abbey might be expecting me to tell them what will happen and..and frankly I am not sure what to tell them.""

Benar says, "Yes I ... do not think he meant to push me off the stairs..." He frowns, "I think we cannot make any decision until we speak to Xander... but I doubt Matilda is going to let him in the same room as me for quite some time. So I may leave that to you and Matilda to talk to him about and bring your decision to me... if he is still... acting odd I do not think I want to see him either."

Krisha nods as she sighs "Right now he is missing, he...kind of rushed off and beasts have been looking for him but I have not gotten an update, just...the look on his face, he looked horrified at what he did."

Benar says, "I know Krisha and... I do not hold it against him... what I do hold against him is his unwillingness to seek help... hopefully this has shocked him enough to realise he needs it. His temper is growing worse and he could have killed me."

Krisha frowns, "I know...I think he ...thinks he did and it's why he left. I just want him home and..hopefully me or Matilda...someone can speak to him, see wot can help him or what should be done"

Benar says, "Well Krisha I am sure if Matilda can find him she will bring him home, she is a good lass that champion of ours. For you and I we need to focus on the abbey, this has been a shock to everyone. Not least of all me."

Krisha nods"Yes Abbot Benar..."She goes to gently hug him, very gently "I am still doing your duties and Badgermother duties....Brother Gorvenalus has helped a little as well. "

Benar says, "Well you can send documents and papers up to me now, I am well enough to start doing some of my duties again, at least the ones that involve reading and dictating messages."

Krisha says, "Alright, I can send up the reports of the harvest, which should be done by tomorrow or that's the plan anyways"

Matilda walks down the hallway and dusts off her tunic before knocking, a glance over at Nardo and she waits quietly for a reply.

Nardo stays quiet and polite as he stays still.A slight look around the hallway as the abbey does impress him but he is quiet right now, let the hedgehog speak first.

Benar glances at the door to his bedroom and sighs, "See who that is will you Krisha? If it's Novice Barhain the object he needs is out on my desk in the blue folder."

Krisha nods as she goes to check and blinks when she sees who it is "Matilda....any news ?" She looks over at Nardo and tilts her head curious as to whom the ferret is and looks back to the champion "Abbot Benar is resting, he...is a wake but, I..I can give him a message, see if he wants to speak to anyone or you can speak to me"

Matilda nods, one issue can be shared with the badger mother "We have guests from a village near the church, just a half dozen woodlanders and..Nardo here, a healer it would seem. may be staying a few days.There is some other news also.."But she also doesn't want to worry Krisha.

Nardo nods, a small bow "Ello....trust me I am not here to harm any beast. Just helped the..hedgehog here and permission for me and my friends to stay a couple days and then be on our way, sides I need to find my friend Mack."

Krisha looks between them and nods as a small frown forms and she akss "Any news on ...anyone else?"

Matilda knows who she means but also isn't sure how to bring it up.He sighs after a bit no one to keep it from her if she found out later it likely be worse "I found him...and no I didn't talk to him yet he..."She sighs"He's unconscious and in the infirm but please don't go rushing over there.He is in good paws and you do still have your duties and the abbot's duties.I will make sure someone updates you I promise..ok. "

Nardo stays by the doorway and looks slightly inside and back to them as the hedgehog explains things, he steps over "Just so ya know, not a fight...well maybe sort of..hornets did attack him because he kind of, sort of found their nest and they didn't like it and he sort of fell backwards and hit a branch or two....but he was fine..that wise, not..hornet wise...hornets are nasty little things yet can be deadly too..my friend Mack claims they can still be useful, like ta know how I don't think so...hate them.."He has his reasons and might share someday.

Krisha eyes widen as she listens to what is said, though the don't rush off seems to not of been heard as she doesn just that and almost crashes into a novice, a quick sorry and she disappears around a corner.

Matilda sighs deeply,"Well...that went well" Not really as she looks into the abbot's quarters and goes to knock again.

Nardo smirks, "Sure it did...ya really great at giving news..."He sort of looks at the room and speaks more quietly "Your like....leader in thar or something?"

Matilda already is unsure of the ferret and now he is annoying her and close to getting himself thrown out a window as if she needs to add another update to the list, she takes a deep breath as she looks at Nardo "I also have the power to ask you to leave...rather not do that so for now be quiet, not in the mood"

Nardo backs up and bumps into the door, he nods quickly "Ok...."A paw goes over his mouth, yes he can be a little rude at times, he isn't the most trustworthy beast but he wants to be trustworthy.

Matilda watches the ferret and nods "Good. Now I can help find your friend Mack, maybe tomorrow for now should update the abbot on a couple things and get some rest"

Nardo nods finally and goes down the hallway, he likely should rest too, and if she wants to have a guard with him, fine...he can live with that.

Matilda sighs and starts to go speak to Benar, finding him asleep she smiles a little, he does need rest as she takes off his glasses and sits them and the reports on the table beside him and then heads off to get some rest herself

A fe assoted Tavern Beasts...

LOG:

Matilda comes back into the entry, looking tired and slightly dusty as she shakes her head, no she can keep the balde with her and take it inside her cottage, she is heading back out anyways in the morning.

Cynthia is near the entry just having helped out in the garden when she sees the hedgehog and waves.

Krisha seen her from the wall tops and comes down "Any luck, did you find Xander...at all?" She is worried, it's been a week now and she figures he would of come back, then again maybe not as she has no clue what thoughts were going through his head when she seen him rush off.

Gorvenalus is also here and walks over curious himself, a small smile to Krisha as he listens.

Matilda sighs "No luck..he may of been seen a little North but that's it, there is a chance he was a little south also."She frowns "He will be found, me and Dora was having a bit of a breath till tomorrow after breakfast and then we..or least I..will go back and search, but he wasn't with the Guosim or Camp Willow, I may check Ferravale"

Cynthia says, "I am sure Xander will be found..right? He would not just leave like this would he?"

Krisha frowns "I...don't know, that look on his face when he...."She sighs "He probably thinks he..killed Benar. And Benar is alive don't worry just resting in his room still..I am still in charge of his duties, and Badgermother duties..."

Gorvenalus nods "To which I am helping with some of the Abbot's dutes, to..ease some stress"

Matilda nods as she goes to sit down."Ideas?..Any at all to where he could of went?"

Cynthia says, "Well likely not somewhere he would think us to look, as you said he wasn't with the otters or shrews....he probably wouldn't be near his tavern or..Defenders base either and that's in Ferravale.""

Krisha says, "We...could ask Patch if he seen him..though I don't know the rat that well, just that he is the main bar tender at the tavern, so..maybe he knows."She frowns, still very worried "I just want him found and soon.""

Matilda nods as she listens "I could ask Patch...and get him to reply. I..dislike Ferravale but I will go there.They do have a peace treaty with the Abbey so that helps a little but there is still some beasts there I think would attack if Blisa wasn't chieftain."

Cynthia says, "Ferravale is interesting but they...do respect the abbey beasts"

Krisha says, "I would come along but..I am needed here...."She has yet to hear her father is missing, it's sure to come up soon but till then "See if father will help you look too.""

Matilda nods"I will..I am glad Ferro is on our side, very glad in fact"

Gorvenalus chuckles "It is best to have a monitor lizard on your side than be your enemy, and maybe he can visit while the weather is half way good, it will get too cold here soon for him to be out and about"

Cynthia asks, "Her father is a monitor?"

Krisha nods"Yes and true...cold is not his friend but he will help, and if needed he..does have an old coat someone made him like..while back he can use in late autumn and he has maybe 3-4 weeks of ok enough weather for him, maybe a week more with the coat, but past that no...I mean he may venture a very short distance like den to tavern or den to maybe the town hall, thats it in winter"

Matilda nods "It's settled then I will head back out in the morning , I will let Dora decide if she wants to still help me look or not but I for sure will go and see if can see if Patch knows anything"

Krisha nods, "I am..gonna get the dibbuns off to bed. I will try not to worry about Xander...I am sure he is just fine"

The champion nods and heads to bed as well.

==The next Day after Breakfast and arriving at Ferravale a little after Lunch==

Matilda sighs as she walks into the tavern and scans the room. Her throat is cleared “Looking for Patch,where is he?”

Patch appears behind her, likely a bad move on his part if she meant him harm”Wot ya want pinchousin..its de lunch hour and without Stripy around...a more busy cause Ralph”He points to a rat asleep with a bowl of oatmeal on his head “Is a lazy jerk, I hate Ralph and he hates me”

Matilda crosses her arms over her chest “Where is Xander, seeing as he is owner of the tavern, I am sure you know where he is”

“I..know where is.. is...not”Patch smirks and then gets serious “Not gonna let ya go slaying me pal, so there.”

“Why would anyone slay him”The champion sighs, she isn't in the mood right now”Look..answer me rat...or I MAKE YOU ANSWER ME!”

Patch gulps and chuckles weakly”Umm...look, he said it was an accident that he killed the old squirrel, he didn't mean ta kill the abbot ok..it was an accident and I believe him, I have a way of knowing when beasts are telling me de truth….and he was clearly upset, least he didn't break plates but he was...depressed upset and..hunting him like this is just gonna make it worse...then I don't blame ya...ya know murderer and all...but,hello accident, Stripy even forgot his blade at ya abbey. Ok maybe tis was wrong to rush off like that but too late ta fix that issue now, not like ya can go back in time and make him stay put”

“Killed?...He didn't kill Abbot Benar, the abbot is alive...broken arm and he bumped his head...but he is alive and recovering in his room while Mother Krisha and Brother Gorvenalus does his duties, along with some other duties and the fact Mother Krisha still has her Badger Mother duitris as well”

“Alive?” Patch seems surprised at this, “Stripy said he was..dead and they needed a new abbot..Stripy was ‘ere a day and then like..left..”He frowns “I seriously have no clue where he is, see he were wise ta not say where he was going just he wouldn't be back at de abbey, not at the shrews or camp Willow or even western Shores….that should save ya some time”

Matila closes her eyes and opens them “Yes Benar is alive...you know what I will see if Ferro can help me look”

Patch frowns “Ferro be missing too...tis likely why Blisa isn't around..ya know Ferro missing and she may or may not be keeping an eye out fer Stripy too.”

“Ferro is...missing?” The champion asks and frowns, great...wonderful”OK..what happened? I can keep an eye out for Ferro too…”

Patch shrogs “I don't know...I am asking around though and thar is talk of a monitor with a flaming spider tattoo...guess what ..Ferro has one too...I find that..odd...and de fact he said he will be back, and the weather...that guy never says stays out much..and his shop be like ...messed up slightly and unused so..yeah wherever he is , he likely isn't having a happy visit”

Matilda listens and hmms “So Ferro could be in trouble ...not so good...I will see what I can figure out, and try and find Xander also.”

Patch frowns “I..hope ya find Xander...he ..is one of de few friends I have..and I rather he not leave Mossflower forever as..think that may of been his plan...I mean...he thought and clearly believed he murdered Abbot Benar..he forgot his blade in de rush ta leave and...he said he was not heading back ta the abbey or ..any place they likely look...ya know no camp Willow, or Camp Shrewland...no western shores or...this village, not sure what that leaves”

“Not much..”The Champion sighed and nodded her thanks before she heads off, she has supplied with her for food and water….she will be fine and now even more determined to find Xander...and now Ferro as well…..

WHO:

Ciocan-Badger Lord

Zolomon-Private First Class, archer, runner in LP

Cera- Healer and Private in LP

Invar- Visitor

Esen-Injured and healing, Visitor

Few spoofed hares

LOG:

Esen has been on the cot, laying fairly still...sometimes seemly too still as her breathing at first got worse and then slowly better after another few hours had passed and healers came and went, by now most likely know of the guests. She also finally makes a weak sort of sound, one of some pain and she has a headache, a fever that's not high, but not a light fever either,but its a lot closer to low grade than high at least.

Invar is still there, sat next to the bed. He's been lost in thought for what feels like days never mind it just being hours. For a while he really thought she was dead so he's a mess of worry and the slightest noise makes him look over. As she sounds in pain he sighs quietly and goes to place a paw on her arm "Y'goin' t'be alright. Y'climbed mountains an' fought cliffs, y'have t'be" he quietly mutters.

Cera had come in and looked to where the badgers were, as if they would of left.She stays at the doorway for now.

Zolomon has been out mostly as he peeks in now and then quietly slips off..it's likely he will be back soon.

Esen groans, she sounds weak and tried.She gives a little shiver as she mutters something as she fights to come awake, a small gasp of pain when she goes to move her leg that's bandaged now and is still again for about half an hour, till her eyes slowly open and focus on Invar after a few moments.

Invar looks suddenly more alert as she starts moving and he goes to stop her, trying to encourage her to be still "Hey, don't move it, keep still" he says softly before he sees her eyes open and he quietly huffs a little sigh of relief and grins "Hey, y'alright"

Cera stays close but doesn't walk over just yet as seems its best to let the two badgers talk first in peace.

Zolomon nods to Cera as he whispers "His..Lordship knows of the umm...guests, not sure his feelings yet or..anyone else's."

Esen keeps the leg still as she manages to speak "It..hurts some..I re..remember it burning and..so much more pain, couldn't breath well..where are we?"

Invar just can't stop grinning and goes to squeeze her arm gently "Y'went and waded int'a jellyfish. First time round the sea an' y'ave t'go an' take on seamonsters" he jokes, clearly very relieved. He finally looks at the room "We're in Salamandastron. The hares were on the shore, they 'elped"

Cera decides to let them call it a monster, in her eyes it could well of been a small one, she steps forwards "And now...your here to rest and recover, it..wont be some over night thing there is likely some..poison still in your body, but a lot is out and no more is gonna be an issue."

Zolomon steps out, he did need to report when someone woke up after all.....

Esen manages a weak smile.."I think..dislike jellyfish now..."She nods to the healer, she is fine with resting, in fact she has no energy right now at all.

Invar chuckles and grins at Esen "I don't think they liked us very much either. No more swimmin' with jellyfish" another little sigh of relief and he looks over to Cera and nods once "Thank y', again"

Zolomon is heard in the hallway "I suppose I could of waited sur but ya did say ta tell you right away..." Another voice is heard, deep and sort of rubbbleing"Its alright Zolomon though....knock next time"

Cera nods "Your..welcome"She turns to the voices in the hallway now and straightens up a little.

Esen nods, "Sounds like a plan..."She is awake yes, but very tried still and sore.She would look at the doorway but, no hurts to move much at all.

Invar's ears flick to the rumbling voice and he tilts his head when Cera straightens. It doesn't take him much to jump to a conclusion and he stands but keeps his paw on her arm as some sort of reminder that she's definitely still there "That's either a badger lord or an officer" he mutters to Esen. He seems slightly on edge and alert.

Zolomon walks in, but steps aside when someone else needs to duck a little to enter the room, muttering bout how some of these doorways are so annoying, then he is 8.5 feet tall.He is dressed in some normal every day clothing as its not like he wears his armor unless needed , he decided to not change into anything fancy either at this time. Its Lord Ciocan as he takes in his new guests and studies them, he then nods as he speaks "So it appears I do have guests then, greetings to you both"

Cera gives a quick salute and stays off to the side, giving the badger lord some room.

Esen does look over but stays laid down, whoa...that's a tall badger as she manages a weak hello, she likely could easyly slip into sleep but least it be sleep this time and not a deep faint.

Invar gets pretty used to looming over everyone but there's no chance of that here. He bows his head as Ciocan appears "Yer lordship, it's an honour and we really are grateful t'yer hares for their help" he's oddly nervous and glances at Esen as he straightens up before looking back to the badger lord and talking very quickly "Er, I'm Invar, this is Esen. We were in the area and had an accident, we didn't intend t'intrude...I mean, I had wished t'visit but by askin' not through jellyfish attacks"

Ciocan looks between the two badgers and nods , "I am glad my hares were able to help you, you both can stay while she recovers, someone can bring meals to here for Esen"

Cera stays where she is, she nods once "And the healers here will help when needed, though she does need a lot of rest still, wont say out of danger yet but ..she is better than she could of been anyways"

Esen is still a little too tried to sya or do much, and she has a headache as well it seems but she is listening as they talk.

Invar lets out the breath he was holding. He was half expected to be kicked out or at least questioned a lot, the tales of male badgers not getting along were numerous "Thank y'. I, er, left our things on the beach in all the chaos, if it would be alright for me to get everythin' a little later?...Or should I stay in this room an' not wander about too much?...I mean I'd love t'see yer library. Love t'see the whole place really. I come from Redwall, the legends of this place...well, erm, yah know them of course" he's like a nervous fan now the worst of the danger seems to be gone.

There is some quietness 'I can have a couple of my hares go with you to get your stuff and then you can come back here, your likely wanting to stay where Esen is my guess" He seems to think before speaking again "A guest room can be made ready soon and your welcome to come to the dinning hall for dinner or dinner can be brought to you here if you rather stay here."He smiles "Out library is very impressive, just your not allowed to go into the records room, its off limits to most unless our recorder lets you look inside and he will likely stay with you"

Cera sits down in her chair quietly, she is still on duty in the infirmary after all.

Esen quietly listens and lets her eyes drift shut as she needs some sleep, sleep will likely help her, and she can still have something light to eat and drink when she wakes up.

Invar seems relieved every time he's not told to leave immediately. He looks back as Esen when she's mentioned and seeing that she's drifted off he briefly checks her wrist for a pulse before smiling faintly and stepping away so he doesn't wake her up by talking "Yes, if it's alright I thin I would like t'stay here. At least for a little while as she's restin'. A proper bed, dinner and bath sound about heaven" he's sporting a broken arm, they probably both need the rest "Is it true y'have hot springs here?...And a forge that never runs cold? Oh! And the bottomless pool?" he knows a lot about the place for never having been there before and he's very enthusiastic about it.

Ciocan listens and manages a chuckle "You seem to know a lot on this place and yes we do have those places here Invar."He notices the broken arm and hmms "Seems you need some rest as well, rest is good for any beast and you can stay at her side, likely the best place to be as you two seem to care for one another and I am not about to separate you two."He smiles "Maybe one of my hares can give a tour later on....one can show where the baths are here soon, and the forge is always running either myself or our main forge hare keeps an eye on it, though I have been letting him work in the forge more often lately, he seems to like it there"

Cera asks, "The pool is really bottomless?" Ok maybe she spoke out of turn and frowns "Sorry...should I get..food or..wait?" One of them is asleep so she is unsure.

Invar finally starts to relax and grin again "What's a badger cub t'do growing up with Redwall's library but read about legends of badger lords?" he looks back to Cera and seems happy to provide answers even if he doesn't live there "Well, bottomless in the sense that no one had found the bottom. A badger lord apparently dragged some vermin down it with him and none of them were ever found again...less that's changed since? I think I read he haunted the pool after that. There's probably all sorts of ghosts around here" and he looks delighted by the idea of that. He looks back to Ciocan and then over to Esen again "We're friends. Heh, we came over the mountains from Mossflower. She'd met me once, decided to follow me up a mountain" there's that grin again...He snaps out of it and raises the splinted broken arm with a chuckle "Had a little accident with a landslide. Got attacked by a mountain, could 'ave come off worse"

The badger Lord nods, "I..see and yes Lord Stonepaw, his body was never recovered." He is quiet before speaking again "Dinner is soon, if you like something to eat or you can wait till Esen wakes up"

Invar looks out the door thinking of all the things he's read about "Never added t'the badger tomb" he's thinking for a moment but finally blinks and looks back once more to the badger maid "I should stay...It's a strange place t'wake up in and she's had a pretty bad day"

Ciocan nods"Prehaps its best...I will have a hare bring you both a meal then, then you both can get some needed rest and perhaps once she feels better, both have a tour"

Invar chuckles quietly "Last thing y'need is a confused and injured badger roamin' the halls if she wakes up an' forgets where she is. Once she's up an' better there'll still be plenty of time t'look around...but I would definitely accept a meal in the meantime. We were startin' t'run a bit low on supplies in the swamps before the beach"

The badger Lord nods "The swamp is not the best place for many supplies and very little good water either. Though there was a hare that survived there for 3 seasons somehow"He looks to a tap on his shoulder as a hare speaks quietly, a nod and dismissal of the hare to go elsewhere "It would seem I am needed elsewhere. We can chat again soon"

Invar nods along "Smelt like somethin' awful too, wadin' through the muddy parts was not somethin' I'd like t'make a habit of let alone live in fer seasons" he watches the hare appear and nods once "Then I thank y'fer yer time an' all yer hares help savin' Esen" he throws up a very rough salute before laughing "It's a pleasure"

Ciocan smiles and then heads off to do what ever badger lord duties call him, later on a meal will be brought up for Esen and Invar.

Some spoofed hares

LOG:

Esen has woke early and wanted to get a closer look at the shore and the sea coast, being the first time she had been by the sea in her life, it was interesting and inviting.She was never one to wear boots much and her's...she did need new ones and this seemed a good time to slip them off and just relax her toes in the water that seems to come into the shore and then pull back, only to come back again as she giggled a little. She was not worried about swimming, she could...if she needed to anyways but she only planed to barely wade into the water..maybe just above her knees, as it did make her a little unsteady on her foot paws when she started to go a little further.She had not wanted to wake a friend and besides they were a short distance away anyways as they had rested by the dunes.

Cera was on her way back from Halyard getting a few things she needed and while she was at it someone decided hey get this list of supplies for the infirm, like gee thanks she was wanting to carry more in her pack, not. She looks around, mainly for trouble not so much anyone just here as, ever so often beasts do sit on the beach, its one of those they don't brother her, she wont brother them.

Zolomon had been out finishing running drills on the sand.He notices the badger and hmms, and Cera and decides to walk towards the hare maid"Tis called de buddy system lass..supposed ta always take along someone to and from Halyard."

Invar has not risen quite so early and is still among the dunes out of sight. He's awoken to find Esen gone but wasn't concerned, he just figured she was off getting water, seeing the sights or something. He wasn't hurrying about getting up and leaving their camp yet.

Esen wades a little further, she glaces over at the hares and studies them but for now decides to not brother them as its not like she knows them that well and..well arn't they some trained army type group.She grows curious of some small waves and one about knocks her off her foot paws as she blinks "Whoa..." Ok that's new, but not too bad. not like there is a storm or anything, its sunny today. There is another couple large waves coming up to shore but none would do much harm,maybe knock one to the sand but that's about all.

Cera shakes her head "I can take care of me self...have the last ..wot 4 seasons or so?"She walks along"Sides your here now so....yeah wot ever"She so rather just forget this dumb buddy system..they are freaking LP hares for goodness sakes and wait.."Your by yourself so..there"

Zolomon smirks and points to a couple recruits a little ways off"Doing some running drills with a couple others who like got in trouble so they had to do a couple more laps, me...I just like running, good exercise and keeps one in shape and well...someone has ta keep an eye on recruits lass"

Invar eventually gets up but it's only far enough to just grab his bag and settle down with his sketchpad. Draw a little, write a little, occasionally perk his ears and listen but everything sounds very peaceful.

Everything is peaceful, for now but doesn't last too long as a fairly good waves does cause her to stumble and fall backwards a little, she is under the water briefly and manages to fight the pull of the water and goes sideways, she coughs a little and decides maybe its good to just get back to the beach. The waves has a couple fish, a hermit crab and some strange see through creature, that seems upset at bumping into Esen and latches onto her leg below her knee, she does the simple thing, pull it off and touching the top is fine, its the tentacles of whats called a jellyfish that is the problem, it is pulled off mostly but it shocks and it hurts and she yells out in pain, again pulling on it and a couple little tentacles stay on, most are off but its causing a burning like fire feeling as she stumbles and sort of rolls on the sand.Shivering a little she frowns, what the heck is this thing and why does it hurt, where its stuck starts to swell a little as she frowns, also why is she shivering a little and having what seems like a panic attack, she does calm a little but there is still..pain and she doesn't try to stand back up.

Cera rolls her eyes and then looks at where the badger was and frowns, she looks at Zolomon and then goes to see if she can do anything to help and slows as she frowns, ok she has learned of those, she forgot the name but its not good to touch certain parts of that fish, she speaks "Hey.....can I help? Just don't try and..."She looks around, something to get it off and not touch the tentacles part, a stick can work"Don't touch the legs"They are legs or something..has this happen to any hares before, she isn't sure she just knows these things are supposed to not be good news sometimes.

Zolomon rushes over, he isn't a healer but he has learned a little but , not this as he frowns and his one ear falls to the side "Errrrr....wot is that?" Ok he needs more lessons in sea creatures, and of course one recruit is a smarty pants, the other went off to maybe get some other help,"Its a jellyfish, they like...sting or bite, err..sumthing..the top is ok to touch, bottom isn't"He has seen some poke them with sticks and they seem to just be a blob to leave alone, well this one seems evil.

Invar's ears perk at the yell of pain in the distance and he freezes, trying to pick out any more sounds as he tries to convince himself everything's fine, no need to get paranoid...No harm in checking though. He gets up and peers over the dunes and all he sees is Esen on the ground surrounded by hares "What's goin' on?!" he roars out the words as he lumbers down the dune fast. His broken arm is still in a sling but he looks fierce and he's looking around as he quickly hurries towards them, imagining it as some sort of attack.

Esen grits her teeth, her thoughts right now just get it off her leg, she looks at the two hares and frowns"It...burns....."She is having a little trouble breathing and shivers as ok, trust them as she is just semi aware of what is going on around her right now, dizziness and she feels like she wants to throw up but she doesn't. There is still some stingers in her leg that need out.

Cera frowns and then there were two badgers as she tenses up, oh fun...but she decides to just tend to Esen "Zolomon...you handle ...that"She points to Invar and frowns as she looks at Esen and uses the broken driftwood to get the rest of the jellyfish arms off her leg and sort of pushes it away into the sand and frowns at it, and looks at the badger maid leg"There is still small little stingers in the leg, that need out"She frowns as she notices breathing and takes a pulse,"Hey..stay awake and focus..on me..."

Zolomon looks up at Invar and gulps, well first he isn't gonna draw a weapon and make himself look like a for sure threat, that would make it worse, he backs up a little and holds up his paw "We didn't do anything...she is hurt.."She points to the jellyfish in the sand and frowns at Cera "Umm..stings out....how?"

Invar focuses his angry glare on Zolomon for a second when the hare speaks before there's a little flash of confusion and then he follows the point to the jellyfish "What?" he doesn't understand how what looks like a slimy blob did this but there's no attack so any trace of angry is gone. He focuses on Esen as she's looking worse. He looks worried and quickly hurries over to crouch by her "Esen? Come on, y'can't go sleepin' now" he tries to fake a light and reassuring tone.

Esen isn't really focusing on who is here, where she is just on breathing better and not passing out.She shivers a little and her leg still hurts, still seriously swollen not that it will go down anytime soon.There is still the poison going threw her body right now.

Cera frowns as she tries to carefully scrap any stings away and get a better look at the leg, maybe getting some of the herbs was a good idea as she knows one helps with breathing issues as she thinks on how to get the swelling down, least the stingers are out "Those..stings..they are poison...got to, be something to draw out the poison, least a little" Maybe she has something in her pouch, most supplies are..inside the mountain and that's surely closer right now, but least no more poison is going into the badger since, double checks,..yes the stingers are all out.

Zolomon frowns "Its a jellyfish...blooming bad things if gets on ya, not so bad if left alone" He frowns, he likely isn't being too helpful right now "I can see if anyone else be around, most be in de training room or..resting"

Invar tries not to let the bubbling feeling of panic take over when Esen doesn't respond and he barely hears the hares explanation. He hears poison, he understands that bit "Then do somethin'!" there's a slight growl to his words before he calms down slightly by trying to remember healing classes from childhood "Suck it out or somethin'!" he only vaguely remembers though.

Esen breathing is not getting any better, not any worse either but its still not good as she shivers and sweats a little.She loses her fight to stay awake as her eyes start to drift shut a little.

Cera shakes her head "You don't...do that.."She frowns and finds the herbs she was looking for, a little mix of water and goes to slowly give them to Esen, it will at least help her breathing issue a little "Need something that's, inside thar"She points to the mountain and frowns, well....company to report? She looks in the supplies and frowns, then thinking quickly and finds a couple things that work some, not as well but till they get inside..she makes a small paste and carefully applies it to where the stingers were and frowns a little."We haf to...she needs the infirm and ours is way closer"

Zolomon frowns and looks over and back to them "But...."He sighs, whats the to do with this sort of thing? He is unsure but it isn't like they are taking like vermin inside...and it should be ok, right? Its temporary after all and help was needed."Ok...ok....we can and then report ta whom?"

Invar doesn't wait to listen to more planning, they said she needed to go to their infirmary so she needs to go. He goes to pick her up but growls in pain as he puts weight on his broken arm. Another firmer growl and he grits his teeth and does it anyway, going to pick her up and head for the mountain "Just show me where t'go" he knows where the mountain is, it's pretty easy to see being the size of a mountain, but he doesn't know how to get in.

Esen coughs a little but drinks the mixture and whimpers a little , shivering as her vision is so fuzzy, she still hurts and her breathing is stil rough, maybe...maybe slightly better as she tries to speak and then goes completely limp in Invar's arms...a quick check would show she breaths..not too well but she breaths and has a low pulse.

Cera nods, she frowns and checks a pulse, if she can and steps back.She looks at Zolomon and starts walking "Ok lets do this"And likely maybe get grumbled at, but she hopes not too much, they are saving a life after all and a badger's life so....

Zolomon nods as he can rush ahead and give the news, make sure the infirm is ready for guests

Invar goes as fast as he can, trying to ignore pain in his arms and ribs and just focus on following where Zolomon went. He doesn't even get to enjoy the fact he's at Salamandastron, a place he'd only read about, he's too worried to look at guards, marvel at the gates or think of all the stories, the only thing he's thinking of is getting to the infirmary.

Esen stays unconscious and doesn't respond, to well...anything.Her breathing stays the same and the area on her leg, under her knee is covered in red horrible lines and its swollen badly, sort of like hives also. Her breathing isnt good, but its not getting worse at least and she is clearly unconscious.

Cera is nervous about this but just goes with it, they are let in and some hares talk among themselves and whisper or point as they go to the infirm where other healers would be and they have more supplies as the hare maid drops off what she got for supplies and also aids a paw in helping.

Zolomon had gotten them mostly ready as he sort of watches and shrugs at weather to let someone else know of the guests, a couple higher up offciers are fine for now..why brother anyone else just yet. He frowns as he stays out of the way of beasts but word would get around to certain beasts sooner rather than later. A couple of the watch guards will for sure make sure the guests stay in the infirm for now, not that they would leave very likely.

Invar gets Esen to a cot but then has to back off as there's healers suddenly swarming to help. He backs up until he bumps in to a wall and just stops there, staring, worried and rubbing his sore arm as he tries to be calm and not panic "Is she goin' t'be alright?" he asks but probably too quietly to distract the healers.

Esen is laid down as healers tend to her, check the leg..find any herbs needed and one healer even glaces at Invar to see if he needs any help. All the while Esen stays unconscious and seemly in some sort of faint, not a deep real deep one but still a faint and wont be waking anytime soon.

Cera frowns "I..am unsure but she is better off here than at the beach, if she was still at the beach and had not had help when she did its possible...very much so, that she wouldn't be ok"

Zolomon sits down and speaks "One can't say, but she is in good paws here sur and they will try their best to make sure your friend...is ok" He looks around "Your both gonna have to stay here though till the mountain is told of...guests"He frowns "Umm..it will be up to his Lordship if you..stay, I mean I am sure with her being...ill and hurt, you would be able to."

Invar has his own injuries though they're all a couple of weeks old and tended to. The broken arm and a scarred over gash on his head are the visible ones. He'll probably get them checked at some point but he doesn't need help currently. He sinks down to sit on the floor by the wall and just watch, wait and worry. He nods slowly to Zolomon's words after a little delay "Of course...thank y'. Won't go anywhere, don't worry" he clearly has no thoughts of going anywhere while Esen's like this "Always wanted t'visit...not like this" he quietly mutters.

Esen makes no movement, but breathing so the rising and falling of her chest. Healers tend to her, they know the right mixtures and how to slowly, carefully, get one to drink a mixture with very little coughing.Her leg has some special paste laid on it and bandaged up, the bed ajusted a little as she is made comfortable, a couple hares likely peek in curious of the visitors.

Cera helps where she can and sighs as she sits down when done "Thar, isn't too much more we can do but, wait now and see how she is. No clue when she will wake up.Hopefully any of those jellyfish move further away, likely close to shore cause of some of the tides..waves...they will go where its warmer though now...it does get a little cold here in winter, not nearly as cold as places."

Invar sits there silently for a long time just watching them work until Cera speaks and he finally snaps back out of his own thoughts and he stands, venturing closer "Thank y'. If y'hadn't been on the shore..." he frowns and hesitates but ultimately doesn't finish the sentence as he goes to sit down next to Esen's bed and wait there instead "I thought all y'had t'worry about at sea was pirates, sharks an' storms"

Cera shrugs "Well....other things can happen...robbers, ummm..sometimes maybe someone needs found, we help other places...at..times too"

Zolomon says, "Had de kitchens locked for half a day once, that was a horrible horrible day indeed but it was solved..we watch de seas and shores and once in a while check on Halyard. stay in touch with Mossflower"

Invar keeps watching the other badger but his ears turn to the conversation and after a few seconds he at least finds it a welcome distraction from thinking too much "We came from Mossflower. We were goin' t'see Halyard" he frowns "The tavern there made the best fish cakes, I was goin' t'get some"

Zolomon nods "Sounds like a plan chap, but for now suppose...its a wait and see wot happens"

** So seems Patch found Xander.........and sort of is helping him, not the best help though**

Patch-Spy, Tavern worker, Annoying Rat

Xander-Leasder of Mossflower Defenders

A spoofed Pine Marten-Friend of Patch?

LOG:

Xander was not sure how long he had ran, but he ran, he even fell and tripped a couple times, got up and ran some more until he got tried and curled up to sob uncontrolled sobbing at what he believed he had just done. He was a murderer because of his stupid anger issues lately.

Patch was around, he was always somewhere and had recently got into a little trouble himself. He held a coin, threw it up and caught it and smiled, he then heard the crying and was on high alert as he edged closer to the source of the sound to find..."Stripy?"

Xander eyes widen as he jumped, reached for his...his good eye widens, "Where is...."He sits up, he doesn't have his blade, a frown it was in the abbey gatehouse..great, fine maybe they were here to kil him too, he looks to see Patch and just frowns.

Patch watches the badger "Ya don't have de like...blade, someone steal it?" He slips closer and studies the badger, "Why the tears someone die er sumthing."He chuckles as he jokes around, if only he knew what happen, the badgers version or the real one."Ya look horrible by de way"

Xander tears fall "I'm a murderer....Patch....I killed him, it was an accident I didn't mean to kill him, I didn't..and now he's..dead and I don't know wot ta do and my blade is in the abbey gatehouse" He frowns "I can't go back thar..."

Patch shrugs "Wot some vermin...wot ever and ...wait how ya kill it if the blade is at the abbey, de abbey is a good haf day way Stripy"

Xander voice sounds weak "Benar....." Little did he know the Abbot was alive."He's..gone Patch and tis..my fault."He leans back on a tree and lets tears fall down his face"And if beasts d..didn't hate me before they surely do now"

Patch jaw drops and he thinks on his words as he digs some wax from his ear, then his other ear "Goodness I should clean me ears more often, ha ha.....thought ya said ye killed the abbot of Redwall.."

Xander frowns as he clears his throat "I did..."He frowns and sniffs again. He sits there dirt covered, he clearly found a thorn bush as some thorns are in his arm, a cut to his leg from said thorns.

Patch gives the badger a hard stare and thinks this over, then frowns "Ya..your serious arnt ya?" He frowns "Accient..how, what..when..wot happen Xander?" Ok he is using his name, so pay attention he wants answers.

Xander says, "I was....upset and..ment to just push him to the side so I could get past and he like...fell and then he hit the ground and then he wasnt moving"He didnt get close enough to see breathing, "And everyone was quiet and then scrreamed and..and I ran, I ran till I fell..like 3 times and..now I am here..."

Patch listens as he frowns and looks around "Ya know how..serious that is and ya run?1..Oh man that pincusion is gonna wanna make you into a nice new rug or maybe two rugs..this is bad..you cant stay in the open like this Stripy...wait ya cant go to me tree either...oh! I got a place..move it!"

Xander frowns "You...shouldnt call a hedgehog a pin cusion....and why run...they want me dead...so be it" He is tried and his legs hurt.
Patch groans and mutters to himself "Move ya furry behind will ya.."He slaps him in teh face, if he can "Come on..I know a beast, tis close...lets move it before ya are found....you really want death?"

Xander shakes his head no and slowly stands to go follow Patch, he isnt sure he is teh best beast to trust but he may as well trust him.For now."Whee we going?"

Patch says, "Away from 'ere...duhhh..."They walk maybe an hiur till they come across a sort of campsite, after crawling threw some low tree limbs, its a sort of...like mass of tree roots and such and a hole to let smoke out if one cooks, which one is finishing cooking and willl put out the fire, it stays nice and warm in the den.He will see a pine marten who once he sees teh badger tenses up and hisses "Patch..."He has a dagger "Explain!"

Xander follows and frowns as he sort of collpaes in the den, his legs feel like they want to just fall off, he sniffs the air and frowns.
Patch explains quickly "He is a friend, just needs a place ta like...hide out...and rest then he can go elsewhere"He wont explain, yet what happen.

The pine marten has wood pidgion he is cooking, some sort of mushroom soup with onion and carrots and has some ale, good ale thanks to Patch"Fine....."

Xander looks at the food and tastes it, he frowns "It needs...pepper...and a dash of..rosemary..and like a little lemon but otherwise...its not too bad.."He frowns , ok maybe he is hungry ok

The Pine Martin tilts his head and does try the rosemary and pepper, salt ..he has no leomon and tastes, smiles "Whoa..."He offers some of the food and drink to Xander "Here....wait ya...that's wood pidgion but how ya know what to..do...and make it?"

Xander eats the food and then speaks finally "I use to make it fer a wildcat named Jedrick...and I like woodpidion..."He finishes his and the stew, and ale and ends up giving in to sleep.

The pine marten crosses his arms over hs chest and Patch frowns "Ok ok....heres de story...."

LOG:

Deniz has never been to the abbey so this is interesting, he is already curious and in wonder of it all and grins as he looks around "Neat, can't say was ever anything like this by the sea coast."

Gorvenalus has been busy making sure things are in the log books, even double checking and had found 4-5 menus of past feasts even, and he planned to look for more.He looks up as he sees the otter and waves "Greetings to you friend otter, it's a good day today"And it is, sunny and maybe a couple soft white clouds in the sky.

Xander walks, muttering something as he catches a few words and rolls his eyes "It's not a good day..its an annoying day" He decides to go up the stairs to the wall top, like no one goes up there very often and it's a good view anyways.

Deniz grins and tilts his head at the badger "Annoying?" He shrugs at this, hey he is in a happy mood right now and plans to keep his mood"Good day so far..I am Deniz from the western shores but I live at Camp Willow now"

Gorvenalus frowns a little but decides to just leave him be, he can speak to him later maybe if needed.He smiles at Deniz "Always nice to have an otter come visit"

Deniz says, "Never been here so thought I visit it, see it and maybe some other areas of Mossflower"

Keldorn enters about that time "Mossflower is bigger than it looks my friend and many things to see"

Gorvenalus chuckles"There is a lot to see in Mossflower, but not something to try in one day"

Caleb enters the grounds, beside him is Cota as Caleb speaks "I think you would like the abbey school Cota, just...think on it ok"He gets a nod, it's not like the teen doesn't already know some stuff and the one class he had was seriously boring.

Cynthia follows shortly after Caleb and Cota as she smiles, she is still glad to be home again.

Deniz nods "Well no...not in one day but a series of days and I wanna see snow they didn't have much of that at the western shore area I live at, when does it like..snow?"

Keldorn shakes his head "Not for a while yet its barely Autumn now"

Ewan looks around, hmmm a lot here as his ears perk a little "The snow can wait a long while, snow isn't that great of a thing"

Xander has stayed away from this..gathering crowd, he has glaced down ever so often but has yet to walk down yet, seems he might stay up here a while.

Gorvenalus chuckles "Dibbuns seem to like the snow but not not everyone does.Not good to travel in that's a fact, it's fine to look at if one is ready for winter and the abbey just about is.I have yet to see how the shrews and otters are, always good to check on friends"

Benar comes walking into the main clearing from the direction of the pond, the Abbot carrying a scroll in one hand and chatting to Brother Elmef. The two put their heads together for a moment then Elmef starts off toward the main Abbey and the Abbot pauses to look around the entryway to see who is about.

Caleb smiles "One reason me and Cynthia came back when we did"

Cynthia smiles"I like snow, well no it would be bad to travel in"

Xander is on the wall tops, basically by himself for now,he does see the abbot but stays where he is.

Deniz says, "Still be nice to see snow...when it comes..ya know snowball fights, build snow beasts..maybe snow castles, like sand castles but made of snow not sand, that could be a thing""

Ewan says, "One can make wot ever with snow, right now it's nice to look at all the colored leaves"

Gorvenalus smiles "Maybe ...could be fun and one doesn't have to be young, to have fun"

Benar asks, "Hello everyone," he stops near Gorvenalus and smiles, "I hope you are all having a good day," He smiles then leans into the recorder, "Is Xander in a mood again?" He looks up at the wall tops, "Maybe I should go try have another word." He taps his foot on the floor and stares up at the walltop, "Gorvenalus, do give my best to our guests," He nods to Deniz before heading for the stairs and starting up.

Xander has been in a bad mood the past...few days as he looks over the wall to the dirt road below and , he happens to look at the steps and sighs..maybe if he just ignores him, he will..go away.

Caleb has been back...a day and has on his brother robes as he has Cota beside him as the others chat about...snow and fall leaves of all things,he chuckles little.

Cynthia glaces at the abbot and listens as the others talk a bit, she dusts off her robes a little as she listens.

Deniz grins and watches as the abbot walks off and shrugs "Busy guy huh"

Ewan says, "The abbot is always busy..this time in the seasons for sure but business is slowing down now some""

Gorvenalus frowns "I think so..."He nods and turns to the otter "Yes he is busy but will usually find time to chat with visitors , even if its at dinner"

Benar reaches the top of the stairs and smiles up at Xander, "Xander my dear, would you like to talk?" He glances down at the entry then back at the badger, "Beasts are worried about you and I am as well, you have not been yourself of late."

Keldorn has just been listening to the talking and chuckles, he nods to Cynthia "Did you find your shrew friend by the way?"

Xander snorts a little as he hears the abbot and turns around "I...am fine...just fine"He mutters something "Yeah yeah...again with this self..find myself..or wot ever...or not been...self..wot ever"

DoraRose has been outside the Abbey for a few days, looking for her son and the evil monitor lizard she heard about. She had told the Abbot and made sure the guard was prepared for her absence. She was only going to be gone 2 days and a night, and now she's returning just when she said she would. So she kind of missed the event of her son returning home. She enters through the Main Gates, keeping her gaze down to make sure no Dibbuns sneak out. A guard whispers in her ear as she shuts the gate, and she glances in the direction he's pointing...and her axe drops to the ground as she sees her son. "Caleb?!"

Angela has been holed up in the Infirmary for the past few days, dealing with a trio of Dibbuns who had gotten into poison ivy and had serious allergic reactions. She has finally gotten them to the point where she feels she can take a break from the Infirm, and she has decided to take a stroll around the pond. Seeing her great-grandson and his family, she also calls his name as she hobbles over to him.

LilyMoore has been helping her great-grandmother in the Infirmary, and right now she's in the Bell Tower with all her bird friends, worrying about her brother. Her instincts say he's fine, but for once in her life she's not believing them. She's literally staring right at him, but from the window high in the Bell Tower, it's hard to tell who anyone is. Especially when there are many mice who wear the robes of the Order in this place....

Krisha has gotten a break from the dibbuns, today she seems to have needed it, and right now she has sticky honey and leaves on her, most likely the DAB..such a fun day, she looks to the entry and wanders over.

Benar tucks his arms into his sleeves and frowns up at Xander, "Xander my boy this is really not like you... it is not about finding yourself or even being yourself. But I am worried, I do wish you'd talk to Angela again or even Krisha, your wife is as worried as I am."

Caleb sees Dorarose and runs over to her to give her a hug, he seems fine,"Mom...." He smiles, Cota stays by Cynthia for now as he looks over at the two and yawns, he is tried.

Cynthia smiles, she lets Caleb go see his mother.

Deniz grins "A reunion, reunions are always de best thing in the whole world"

Ewan steps out of the way and looks over, hmmms well he has no clue who Caleb is but he can always find out later on.

Gorvenalus smiles "Yes reunions are always something for one to be happy about my friend. ``

Xander shakes his head and crosses his arms over his chest "I.."He looks down, hmm a lot of noise..oh like a reunion or something,wot ever he is happy for a bit of distraction as he looks back to the abbot" I..am fine just..just LEAVE..me ..alone...ok" He was already moody and getting more grumpy now, but he was holding in flat out yelling right now.

DoraRose goes to wrap her arms around her son and hold him close. "Oh, Caleb, my Caleb, honey, I'm so glad you're okay! I missed you so much, and I heard there was a crazy monitor who had you, and....oh, I'm just so glad you're okay!" The guard isn't sure if he should take the Gatekeeper's axe and sword or not. Would she be going on duty now? Angela has decided that she's not following her great-grandson just yet, and so instead stands beside his wife and son, content to just be quiet and calm in their company. LilyMoore has apparently missed all of this. Otherwise she'd be down here by now.

Spruce, having heard the commotion from the beasts gathered by the gate, comes out of the Great Hall, shutting the massive doors behind him as gently as he can. After the loud thud, he makes his way down the stairs hesitantly, eyes wide at the yelling badger, coming to a stop just behind the group. "Ehm, excuse me," he starts in a timid voice to the creatures nearest him, though still keeping his eyes on Xander, and asks, "Uh, what happened...? And why is he so...angry?"

Krisha looks up at the walltops and catches sight of Benar and Xander and decides to just let Benar talk with him for now as she has failed to get more than a word or two in much or she is busy, or cant find him, so she will wait.

Benar sighs softly and shakes his head, "Xander... you can't keep ignoring this, whatever is troubling you or wrong if you just keep pushing us all away it will only make it worse." He sighs and glances down at the small crowd in the courtyard, "Everyone down there loves and cares for your Xander, so please... let us help?"

Caleb smiles "I'm fine mom..I sort of tricked it by staying under water like 6 minutes..it probably thinked I drowned and the one overturned hollow log helped too and he didn't follow me...I'm fine"He shrugs at the squirrel Spruce"He..didn't like lunch maybe?I did accidentally burn the tops of a dozen rolls" Hey he forgot, it's the fault of others being like oh hey your back and welcome back and..what's that smell and the rolls were burnt..bummer.

Cynthia chuckles a little at the burn rolls, "He was close to the Gousim camp..."Yes she went out maybe was a bad plan but she ended up being ok"I was looking for a friend, guess he was elsewhere but I found Caleb and that was better" At the time yes.

Deniz frowns, he nods "Well least it was just burnt rolls..one of my sisters tried to cook and about burnt down our house..totally ruined the oven she did"

Ewan frowns "You murdered innocent rolls, how could you? Food is to be not burnt, burnt food is sad food"

Keldorn chuckles at this, he does look up where Xander is briefly and back to the others, let the abbot and the badger chat...a lot is going on at the entry, so it's likely more quiet on the wall tops.

Xander snorts as he glares at Benar and then takes a deep breath, "Just....like anyone cares..no one seemed ta miss me when I was away a couple weeks NO ..ya want to GET RID OF ME....go to the shrews and learn...right..help them, ok...stay a season, wot EVER..."OK he is trying to not be angry, but he is and he has had it all bottled up inside for a while and looks ready to just walk off somewhere else.

Angela shrugs. "'M not sure whot's wrong with Xander. May'ap I can talk to 'om later..." DoraRose hasn't let go of her son. She missed him too much. "Burning rolls, huh? Guess I need to give you a few more lessons in the kitchen," she informs him with a wink. Looking up at the walltop, she frowns. "Is Xander still upset? I talked to him a week or 2 ago, and I was hoping I'd helped him..."

Pausing, Spruce replies to Caleb, "Oh. So I wasn't the only one who thought there was something off about those rolls..." He walks over to Caleb and who the young squirrel assumes is the mouse's mother, visibly brightening up. In a far more light-hearted tone than earlier, he says, "And good to know that isn't the usual quality of food here! Though," he once again looks up towards the badger and abbot, "That's a rather petty reason if that's why he', er, Xander's, so, y'know..." Shrugging, the squirrel adds, "Doesn't sound like that, though, but hey, what do I know?" He gives a nervous laugh, rubbing the back of his neck.

Krisha sighs as she walks over and smiles, she decides to just see this reunion "I am glad your son is home Dorarose, you're probably never let him out of your sight now."She looks up at Xander and sighs, she shrugs "Maybe Benar can help better...I don't know, Xander won't really talk to me and told me to shut up the couple times I tried."

Benar stares up at Xander in surprise, "I... you do realize I said the shrews would be a good idea, in a month or two, after you patched everything up with Krisha," He shakes his head, keeping his voice mild and quiet, "You're the one who ran off the next day to join them Xander," He reaches out a hand to place on Xander's arm, "We have never tried to get rid of you Xander, why would I do that?"

Gorvenalus shrugs"Well...I am unsure, I am sure things will..be ok"

Caleb chuckles "Maybe, been sort of use to a camp fire is all, was with a traveling group for a while"

Cynthia smiles "But we are home where we belong and you can have all the cooking lessons ya need dear"

Deniz smiles "Home is a good place...I call Camp Willow Home now myself"

Xander is starting to go down the steps and is just..grumpy, he shakes his head as he starts to say something else, most likely making the Abbot back off a couple steps seeing as they are maybe between half way up and 3/4 of the way up the steps. He mutters something and the paw touches his arm and he growls a little and holds back a yell...or tries to as he goes to slap the abbots paw and move him out of his way. "Just...Leave...me..ALONE!!!!!!" He just wants to get elsewhere, in his mind, everyone seems to hate him."I..DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!"

DoraRose chuckles at the thought of never letting her grown son out of her sight, then grows serious when Xander starts shouting. "Everybeast stay out of his way," she orders as she releases her son and heads to the stairs, grabbing her axe and setting it in the doorway of the Gatehouse on the way. Pausing at the foot of the staircase, she takes in the situation, tense and ready to act if necessary. Angela whispers something to a guard standing nearby, then starts shooing people away from the main gate as he runs off. "Y' 'eard th' Gatekeeper, outta the way. Just in case 'e feels th' need t'bolt."

"Campfires? That'll do it. So, uh," Spruce seems to now be trying to ignore the badgers and abbot on the wall, instead turning his full attention to those around him, or at least trying to. "I'm Spruce, in case anyone was wondering." Shifting from one paw to another, the squirrel clearly still is nervous about Xander, though his eyes are now on DoraRose's ax. "Wait," he points to the weapon, asking Caleb, "Does she actually use that thing...?"

Krisha frowns as she takes a deep breath and decides. ok maybe she should go over and talk to him, or wait..she seems unsure and heads over to the stairs with a frown.

Xander's shove as the badger pushes his paw off his arm catches the squirrel by surprise. A badger shoving somebeast is never gentle and the force is quite disproportionate to the smaller squirrel's body. Benar staggers back half a step and one of his sandals slips and then he quite simply drops.

He has a moment for a short scream as he is pushed over the side of the stairs before he hits the courtyard floor a good eight feet below. To anyone looking up from below it looks quite as if Xander just shoved the Abbot off the stairs and it doesn't look accidental The grey squirrel lays there on his side, quite still, his tail drifting down to curl on the floor next to him, seemingly unmoving.

The Abbot of Redwall Abbey is down.

Bedlam erupts in the courtyard and over near the orchard as various members of the order and abbey residents going about their business and chores freeze, or scream and point.

Ewan frowns, his ears droop and he just stares "That's...not a good....thing."

Gorvenalus tenses, yes he is the Recorder of the abbey but he also has his healer skills as shock quickly is gone as he rushes over to the Abbot to check on him,
.
Deniz eyes get wide "Oh my goodness...that...he fell or..."He looks up at Xander and frowns, ok he is not going near the badger right now as he isn't sure if that was on purpose or accident, either way it ended in a very bad fall and he is not a healer "Is he like.......?"

Cynthia gasps as a paw goes over her mouth, she is not sure what to do now, others sort of stand there as well in shock.

Xander looks on in shock and horror, he did NOT mean to shove that hard, it was an accident."No...no no no....."He is thinking the worst, the possible worse thing ever right now, tears even form "W..W..Wot did..I..I d....do..."He uses the chaos to ...well he is leaving, he is running away...he ends up going down a different set of stairs as there is others and goes past anyone , seemingly unwilling to block his path right now, and he is out the gates and onto the road. Did he just....kill Benar? That's the thoughts running through his head, he wasn't moving after all! In his haste he may of left his blade behind, but right now he doesn't care!

Gasps go up from the crowd, and DoraRose looks up at Xander in shock. She heads up the stairs and hears what he's saying to himself. "Xander, wait!" she takes off after him, noting that he doesn't have his sword. But he has enough of a head start (plus longer legs than her) that he leaves the Abbey before she can catch him. Standing at the open gate, she watches him disappear. Angela's shock wears off almost at the same time the Abbot hits the ground, and she's hobbling over to him as fast as she can. Kneeling beside him, she keeps him laying the way he is (just in case he has a spinal cord injury) and immediately starts checking for breathing and pulse. She needs to make sure he's still alive before trying to figure out how he's injured.

"I-" Spruce snaps around, letting out a gasp. "Um, did he just?" Bewilderment overtakes him as Xander disappears, the young squirrel in an almost dazed state wandering behind the others to stand by the abbot. "I..." He swallows. "Is the abbot...dead?" Eyes wide and fur standing up, his gaze drifts from the abbot and small crowd around him to the road and open gates, muttering,"May have been a mistake to come here, after all..." He seems almost ready to bolt himself.

Krisha gasps "Benar!!!!" She watches as Xander runs off, the look he had she frowns, but she isn’t gonna go follow him, she like everyone else is more concerned with Benar.

Benar is alive though his breathing is shallow and he is quite unconscious. Several more sensible Brother and sisters form a cordon between the crowd and the abbot so Gorvenalus and Angela can work together in peace without lots of people crowding around. Several beasts are all turning to look at Krisha for direction, blind panic hasn't quite broken out but everyone is shaken up and Spruce's words are echoed, "Is he alive, is the Abbot dead?"

Gorvenalus frowns as he looks over the abbot , also yeah not moving him as that be a bad idea .He can see breathing and sighs in relief. "How is his pulse Angela?" He looks him over for any wounds, selling and frowns, they can update the others here soon.

Caleb frowns as he stays where he is, very concerned for the abbot, he lets the beaver and Nana help as he looks to his mom, very worried.

Cynthia wipes away a couple tears as she just stays where she is, so unsure what to do now and lets the healers tend to him "Is he dead or alive? When will they update us?"

Deniz gulps, well this was...eventful, "Oh dear..."He looks at the gates "Should...someone go like find him or is that a bad idea?"

Keldorn helps to make sure the crowds stay back "Just give them room, they will let us know soon....I am hoping"

Angela starts looking the Abbot over for whatever injuries he sustained in the fall. "'E's alive, y'all need t'calm down. Panicking will make the situation worse." Lowering her voice, she murmers to the beaver, "Looks like 'e sustained a 'ead injury an' a broken arm, 'is left one. Can't remember if 'e's right pawed or not, but gotta 'ope 'e is. Checkin' 'is back and neck now, an' I think 'e's fine there. Won't know 'ow bad 'is 'ead is 'til 'e wakes up." DoraRose closes the gate and locks it, then jogs over to her son and his family. She goes to put an arm around her daughter-in-law's shoulders, although the Warrior is tense, filled with adrenaline. "Everybeast calm down. If my grandmother says the Abbot will live, then you can bet your life he will." LilyMoore dashes up. "What's going on?" "Lily, go get m' 'Ealin' bag!" The Bellringer dashes off at her great-grandmother's command, to frightened to ask any more questions.

After the gates are closed, Spruce, suddenly very aware of how he's a stranger in what is to his eyes a very /very/ strange land now, makes his way towards the stairs to sit down slightly apart from the crowd, sitting with a long sigh. The teenager shakes his head, not at all sure of what to do with himself, putting his head in his paws. "Guess running would've been stupid anyway, what with the mad badger out there..." He looks over to where the abbot is, brows stitched together in worry.

Hurrying down the steps from the great hall is Matilda, the hedgehog pauses for a moment as she spots Benar. Not quite believing what she'd been hearing but she doesn't go over, leaving the Abbot in the capable hands of the healers for now.

The hedgehog champion turns and makes a beeline for DoraRose and Krisha, "Mother Krisha... Dora..." She pauses and looks toward the Abbot again, "Is it true what they are saying? That Xander pushed him off the wall..." she trails off and frowns and mutters to herself, "Not that this is important right now..."

She motions to DoraRose to join her near Krisha if she will, "Mother Krisha, your orders?" She looks up at the Badgermother, then lowers her voice so just Krisha and those standing nearby can hear, "You need to take charge Krisha, the Abbot is going to be out of action for days... we have a harvest to finish, leave Xander to Dora and I, you need to start directing the brothers and sisters and get order restored."

Krisha stays off to the side, worry in her eyes, she walks closer and frowns at the squirrel "Did you see that look he had, He didn't mean for this to happen" She manages to not let herself get mad, she feels a couple small paws and looks down...great a couple of the dibbuns, the others are with Sister Ginny who mouths a -sorry-. The Badger mother hugs the dibbuns and picks them up to keep the two out of trouble.
She looks at Matilda and frowns, ok she knows this but never thought she would have to take charge as she hands the two dibbuns off to an order beast and takes a deep breath as she walks forwards"Ok every beast...calm down, we still have the harvest..Let Angela and Brother Gorvenalus tend to the Abbot, they will update us on how he is, he is alive."She looks at Dorarose and frowns a little"You and..."She looks at the abbey champ "Someone ..needs to find...Xander..." She goes to stand in front of the others.

Gorvenalus is busy tending to Benar as Anglea helps "Not sure on...infirm once we move him, maybe his own room...a healer can stay with him at all times"

Caleb looks over at the Badger Mother and frowns, he walks closer "I can help Lacota with cooking, if it's needed...even help get in the rest of the harvest"

Deniz isn't sure what to do to help, he just sort of stands there and listens , but he has ideas as he raises a paw.He can least do...something.

Keldorn watches Krisha, and looks around "Every beast needs to listen to Mother Krisha...ok"And that calms..well come now and the badger seems to have did a good job getting everyone's attention.

Cynthia frowns as she listens, this is a little scary and worrysome as some tears of worry go down her face.

DoraRose joins the Champion and Badger Mother. "I heard him muttering to himself before he took off. Xander absolutely didn't mean to do this." She watches as the badger takes charge, nodding slightly to encourage her. "Don't worry, Krisha. I'll do everything I can to find Xander and get to the bottom of this. I know exactly what I'm doing -- hey, let my daughter through!" she adds in an order as LilyMoore rushes back with her great-grandmother's healing satchel.

When the crowd lets her through, LilyMoore hurries through and kneels beside the Abbot, her paws shaking as she opens the bag and starts handing Angela what she asks for. The old Healer works quickly, setting and stabilizing the broken arm, swathing the concussion in bandages and an herb paste. Some Order Healers come up with a stretcher and start helping her and Gorvenalus work on the Abbot. "Aye, we'll take 'im to 'is chambers, set up a watch for 'im of th' most experienced 'Ealers we 'ave," Angela answers the beaver as the stretcher bearers go to put the squirrel on the stretcher to carry him to there.

Lily, having finished helping, she backs out of the crowd and rushes to her mother, tears pouring down her face. She still somehow has yet to see her brother.

The healers with the stretcher start for the main door, several of them clearing a crowd and pushing them back. Krisha will need to be a bit louder and forceful but several Elder members of the order are starting to appear from wherever they have been working.

Elder Elmef moves over to near Krisha and starts trying to herd the harvest crews back to work. "Brother Caleb thank you, if you can take over team four and get them back to the plum trees... come on everybeast, the Abbot will be fine. But none of us will be fine if he wakes up to find out we let the harvest spoil."

Matilda meanwhile nods to Dora, "Yes Mother Krisha, leave it to Dora and I... I am sure this was all just a horrible accident. But Dora and I can see to tracking down Xander, you worry about the abBOT, we'll find him."

Gorvenalus steps back and lets the healers take charge and sighs, well this will likely need to be in the log books..what fun

"Doesn't change the fact he bloody well pushed Benar..." Spruce mutters under his breath, though he doesn't seem keen on actually challenging the badger mother, warrior-hedgehog, or ax owning mouse on anything anytime soon. After the poor abbots carried away, Spruce bites his lip, looking over at the elder as he speaks. Sighing once again, the young squirrel stands, going over by Caleb. Reluctantly, he says, "I, uh, I can also help anywhere I'm needed. If needed, of course..." He tries to force a smile, though it comes out as a grimace more than anything.

Caleb nods as he goes to help with some of the beasts in the orchards.Can he...do that though, he is very uncertain.

Krisha frowns and clears her throat"Listen up!!"A few stare at her, one brother frowns as the Badgermother speaks again "Good..."She says as she manages to finally get everyone's attention as does this in parts.."Ok you 4..help Brother..."She frowns, and points to Caleb "Him" She doesn't know his name yet, she nods to another "And you...all....back to harvest you want the abbot upset?" A few shakes of heads "Ok then go to work..." They quickly do so"Ok still need others to still do chores...lets go and...yes stop standing around go" She is getting better at this, she is taking charge and just hopes wherever Xander is, he is ok.

Keldorn nods as he goes to help with the harvest as well.He will help make sure beasts don't slack off.

Deniz walks forward "Umm….Miss..."He says to the Badger "I can like...see if the otters and that..Gousim can help if like..needed. should I?"

Cynthia sits down and frowns "What if he like..gets worse or dies..what do we do?" She is willing to help she just isn't sure where.

DoraRose nods to her son. "Good job, hon. You got this," she murmurs to him. LilyMoore looks up, sees her brother (finally) through her tears, then goes to tackle him in a huge hug. "Caleb,ohmygoodness,Imissedyou,everythingisterrible!" She starts crying again, the emotions of the moment just being too much. Angela goes off with the other Healers, doing her best for the Abbot. After the Badger Mother is done shouting at everyone, the Gatekeeper steps up to her. "Should we go now? I need to eat something, but I can take it with me."

Spruce looks at Krisha then to those going to the harvest, still not quite sure what to do. "Uh, right..." While lanky for his age, the squirrel still is at least a head shorter than the average mouse, a fact he seems all too aware of. "I think I might just get in their way, y'know..." He laughs in his odd, nervous way again, saying, "Never was allowed to touch the scythes back home after the first time I helped there, so, uh," the squirrel shrugs, "I don't know all that much about the harvest..."

Gorvenalus walks up to Krisha and smiles"Your doing fine...I will place something in the logs and I have the logs of supplies and such and can update those as well"

Caleb is....tackled as he oofs and blinks , then smiles "Lily"He hugs her and smiles, yeah he is supposed to help with, what plum trees? And he will or maybe another order beast will help, he can get a little reunion time in "MIssed you"

Krisha nods to a couple more beasts and sighs as the Recorder comes up to her, she has not been this busy before but she will do her best "Thank you Gorvenalus.."She looks to Dorarose and the worry shows "I..eat something first, then you can track him down, I have no clue where he would go..."She glances at Deniz as he speaks and thinks, a nod "Yeah if we need the Gousim or...Camp Willow that would be a good idea...t..thanks" She looks tired already"Sister Ginny, please take over the dibbuns for now...Brother Rick and Sister Anna can help"She gets a nod "I will be in before bedtime and do a story still" he walks to where she can sit on a bench and places her face in her paws.

Deniz nods "I am..Deniz...and yeah yeah..will get on that now"He nods and is off.

Cynthia watches as some things, not all, calm down a little as she frowns "And the day started out good, it was nice"

Sniffling, LilyMoore nods as she buries her face in her brother's chest. "I missed you so much, too. I'm so glad you're okay. Are you gonna be back forever?" Matilda nods. "I'll meet you at the gates here in a little bit, Dora." As the hedgehog walks off, DoraRose turns to the newcomer squirrel. "Hey, could you go to the kitchens and tell the cooks DoraRose," she points to herself to make sure he's clear on who she's talking about, "needs a good meal to go? That'd be extremely helpful right now." She then walks over to the Badger Mother and goes to put an arm around her shoulders, saying nothing just yet, just giving her the comfort of her company.

Caleb nods as he smiles "I am back to stay me...Cota and Cynthia to live here"

Gorvenalus smiles "Your welcome, I can also help make sure some things get done..I was an Abbot once at Willowbark after all"

"Oh!" Spruce seems rather excited someone's actually addressed him, nodding. "Right! I'll do that- Uh, I'm Spruce, by the way! Nice to meet you!" The teen starts for the Great Hall but turns around almost as soon as he started. "Hey," He asks, "Which why are the kitchens, by the way?"

Krisha nods , a smile to the Recorder and the Champion, she looks around, anyone else to give some order to, no it would seem she is not overwhelmed, things have calmed and now...a sob escapes, she starts crying now. Too much at one time, this is the first time she has been in charge of...whoa the..abbey OMG...ok she can do this , she can she just did do a good job getting things calmed, she is just overwhelmed herself now.

DoraRose smiles at the young squirrel and gives him the directions to the kitchens with thanks. As the badger starts crying, the Warrior mouse goes to gently rub her back. "You did a good job, honey, you're okay. I'll do my best to find Xander, I promise. Go ahead and cry if you need to." LilyMoore looks up at her brother's face. "Wait, what about Lily, your daughter? Where's she?"

Caleb frowns when his daughter is mentioned "She...died of an illness spreading through the little village we stayed at for a season, a lot of others died too..Cota had a mild case of it and recovered lucky."

Gorvenalus stands "I will be in my office if I am needed" He does stay for a short while.

"Okay!" Spruce says, nodding, "Right! I'll be off!" Turning sharply on his hind paw, the squirrel runs up the stairs, going to open the great doors by pulling. After a moment or so of this, he stops, and cheeks red, realizes he needs to push. He does so, slipping and side and running off to go bother the cooks about the warax-owning-mouse.

Krisha nods and she seems ok, better in maybe 10 minutes as she sniffs "I...know this is something the badger mother ...has to do sometimes...didn't think be so soon and sudden and...chaos...how did Oz handle it when that sort of thing happen?"

DoraRose shakes her head. "Well, he had lots of practice by the time I saw him do it. It was probably just as stressful for him his first time as it is for you now." She sighs and rubs her eyes. "I wish I knew what's wrong with Xander. We were able to talk a few days ago, but I don't know if he's still stressing over that stuff or about something else." LilyMoore looks stunned, then very, very sad. She never even got to meet her niece. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I....oh, my." She has no idea what to say.

Caleb just hugs his sister quietly, he sighs as yes he is glad to be home just a lot going on and he may still be slightly worried about the monitor but he keeps that to himself.

Gorvenalus says, "You did well I think Krisha and all will be fine, now we can't have you getting stressed, all will be well."

Krisha nods "Yeah....hope so and..I don't know, really...don't know Xander wouldn't talk to me, figured he speak to the abbot, but...I have no clue I just know...he didn't hurt Benar on purpose, he looked horrified before he disappeared."

Spruce, an unburnt roll in paw, appears out of the Great Hall again, making his way back down the stairs. "Hey, Dorarose," he says between mouthfuls of roll, completely oblivious to the grim topics, "They're heating up some of the stew from lunch for you now..."

Sticking with her twin brother, LilyMoore stays quiet. She'll probably end up helping wherever he does. DoraRose nods. "Yeah, he was asking himself, 'What did I do?' I believe he didn't mean to. He may not know his own strength, or misjudged it in his anger. I do that sometimes." Smiling slightly, she nods. "Thanks, Spruce. That was very helpful for me." Okay, so she can't really take it with her. But the badger will be fine out in the woods for 30 minutes or an hour later, right? She hopes so, anyway.....

Krisha sighs as she nods, she looks to the Champion and Dorarose and frowns" Just....when find him...."She is unsure and looks tried but will stay awake as others need to talk to her "I will chat later, and...be careful...ok"She then walks off to talk to a couple of the elders.

Gorvenalus watches the badger and looks to Dorarose "I will help our Badger Mother get some things done, don't worry but she has a point...be careful.Maybe talk to Ferravale and the shrews, and I know that otters was gonna talk to camp willow"

"Right, no problem!" Spruce says, finishing his roll. He just stands there for a moment, looking from the mouse to the recorder.

DoraRose scowls slightly after the badger leaves. "I know, good grief, I'm not as hot-headed as I used to be..." Shaking her head, she looks the squirrel over. "I don't believe I've seen you before today, Spruce. Are you new to the Abbey?"

Gorvenalus chuckles a little at Dorarose..."So what os the plan seeing as he could be anywhere"

"Oh, yeah," Spruce says, rubbing his neck, "I got here yesterday. Parents sent me to for, well, the abbot mentioned school, but right now I'm not really sure how that's gonna happen with how he's," he makes a vague gesture towards the main building, "Y'know...injured..."

DoraRose raises an eyebrow. "Well, Benar doesn't teach much, so you'll still be able to go to school. Maybe you'll be in the same class as my grandson, Cota." An Order member brings her a big bowl of stew, a spoon, and a blueberry muffin, which the Warrior accepts with thanks. As they walk off, she starts to eat, answering the beaver between mouthfuls. "I was gonna try tracking him, following his trail. So long as it doesn't rain, that should work. I was also gonna double-check the armoury. I'm pretty sure he left his blade, so the sooner we find him, the better, probably."

Gorvenalus says, "I teach some...normally Mother Krisha would but not sure now...Sister Ginny maybe"He frowns "Well let's hope he doesn't end up needing a blade...the roads and woods have been...somewhat ok""

For a brief moment, Spruce's features fall, though he does manage a half hearted, "Oh, great..." at the news of schooling before smiling and saying, more convincingly, "Good! Very good..."

DoraRose nods as she continues to eat. "Except for that monitor lizard we heard about, yeah, the roads have been somewhat calm. Hopefully he'll be okay." Glancing at the squirrel, her eyes smiling, the mouse adds, "Yeah, I know you're not thrilled. You'll be fine, though." She keeps eating, still smiling slightly.

Gorvenalus frowns "Monitor?" He is not sure that is a good thing, "Well.....lets hope its gone we don't need that worry right now"

Not sure of how to deal with the acknowledgment of his dread of school, Spruce simply nods, saying, "Er, thanks." He glances at the beaver, saying, "Caleb mentioned he had a run in with a monitor before he got here..." He shrugs, "Though I don't know when that actually happened..."

DoraRose finishes her stew and hands the bowl and spoon to the young squirrel. "Yeah, that was, like, a week ago. Trust me, if I find this monitor, I'll make him regret the day he tried to harm my son." The fierce light in her blue eyes speaks truth to that. Nodding to the beaver, she adds, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. And I'll take my axe, just in case." As well as her sword, which in the insanity of all that happened she has forgotten to remove from her waist. "I'm heading out now. Matilda and I will be back soon." And she heads off, eating her muffin and stopping to get her axe. Then she and the Champion hedgehog leave through the gates, in search of a badger...

Gorvenalus waves and sigh as he looks around "Well I should check on Benar and some others but my guess is he is fine if Angela is with him, she will likely keep visitors away which are not needed till he feels better"

WHO:

Gorvenalus- Recorder of Redwall Abbey

Benar-Abbot of Redwall Abbey

Cynthia-Sister in Redwall Abbey

Krisha- Badgermother of Redwall

Xander- Leader of Mossflower Defenders

LOG:

Cynthia has been back...well a couple days now as she is helping to dust around the room, even if she is a guest.But she is thinking of coming back to stay.She hums a tune and twirls around singing some simple song she maybe wrote on summer time.

Benar walks in from outside, shaking rain out of his habit and pushing back his hood. He pauses as he spots the mouse and smiles, "Cynthia my dear, well this is a pleasant surprise how are you?"

Cynthia turns and smiles "Abbot Benar..."She goes to hug him, she is in a good mood today at least."Me, Caleb and Cota decided to come visit, maybe....stay but not sure yet"

Xander wanders into the room and glances over at the others, for now he keeps his distance as his arms crossed over his chest, his morning seems to have not been the best.

Benar hugs Cynthia back warmlyh and smiles, "I am so very glad to see you my dear, it has been too long since you were last here with us." He smiles at the mouse then glances at Xander, "Oh Xander, hello, are you looking for Krisha?"

Gorvenalus walks in and nods "Hello all, hope your day is well"

Cynthia smiles at the hug"Yes..it has been..Caleb is.."She frowns "Not sure, sort of got separated in the woods but..I am sure he will be fine, Cota..our son is here, we have a daughter but there was an illness where we lived and she sadly died...we decided we missed friends and family and came...home, if we are allowed to call the abbey home again"

Benar hugs Cynthia, "I am sorry to hear about your loss but I look forward to meeting Cota my dear, it is so very nice to see you here," He looks over, "Oh Gorvenalus you remember Cynthia I am sure?"

Xander snorts "I know..where she is, with the dibbuns..I wasn't looking for her I am just...inside"He sounds annoyed.

Gorvenalus smiles "I might remember the name but not too well, I am sorry"He glances over at Xander but decides to leave him alone for now.

Cynthia smiles "It may of been shortly before I left when you came maybe, as I don't think we had a recorder..I know we didn't for a short while"

Benar asks, "Ah I see Xander, well you are always welcome here you know, how are things out at the GUOSIM? I hope you are enjoying your time with them?" He starts to move away from the doors toward the fire, "Xander has been living with the Log-A-Log and his team to learn more about their way of life.""

Xander shakes his head "Like it helps....they argue over small things and all I have learned is how to..build a hut or fix a roof how IS THAT helpful" Ok ok deep breath as he manages to hold back some growing anger, he mutters "Worst idea ever...."

Gorvenalus frowns But will let someone else handle it as he goes to sit down in a chair

Benar looks at Xander, "Useful skills, but remember you are there to watch and learn from the Log-a-Log, the tasks they have you doing don't matter, so much as watching the Log-a-Log and seeing how he interacts with his shrews." He pauses by the fire and smiles warmly at Cynthia, "So how long will you be staying with us?"

Cynthia looks at the badger, "Why are you so moody? I mean it's raining but it can still be a good day...and the Gousim?" She smiles "I knew a shrew once,....he was not a Gousim though, and...maybe to live here..if we can. We did have the rank of Brother and Sister when we left

Xander sighed "I can learn a skill...wow. I cant..watch him do much if I am busy...I still have some memory lost, I keep having bad days"He slightly glares at Cynthia but stays quiet as he goes to sit on a bench across the room.

Benar settles down in his chair and gives Xander a look, but for now doesn't interrogate him, he focusses on Cynthia, "You would be welcome to rejoin the order of course Cynthia. But after so long gone we do tend to ask beasts to recite the charter again before they can take up their robes again," He nods to Gorvenalus, "The recorder can probably find the process in the library. But it has happened before."

Gorvenalus smiles "I can look it up, shouldn't be too hard to get a rank back after all dear."

Cynthia frowns at the badger but she is gonna keep her good mood, she cares not. "I just hope Caleb gets to the abbey ok. And I can let him know to refresh his memory of the charter so he knows. I have missed the abbey."

Xander half listens to the others chatting, he snorts when memory is mentioned and shakes his head"Yeah memory can sometimes be like swiss cheese, so that is that and I did say I would stop by the abbey sometimes..I needed a break away from shrews, they can get so annoying"

Benar says, "Well Xander, you are always welcome here dear and Krisha will be glad to see you I am sure," He leans back and nods to the recorder, "Thank you Gorvenalus, that would be useful and then if Caleb and Cynthia wish to stay here with us they can resume their old ranks"

Gorvenalus smiles"He does look at Xander and offers a smile "Cheer up my friend, it is still early in the day and a break is always good"

Cynthia says, "I am not sure a job...I still sing and dance and can play the harp..I can sew and know some healing""

Xander mutters something and tries to relax"I will still help the shrews oh and that pike...its gone by the way"

Krisha makes her way into the room. she has managed to get a break, then she tends to get 2-3 breaks away from the dibbuns in to the day, she nods to the beasts gather and walks over to Xander, "I...thought you were staying with the Gousim." She figured most of the season, she nods to the other "Hello "

Benar says, "I am glad they managed to get rid of that pike," He gives Xander a look, "It sounds like you were a big help to them and helping them set up camp for the winter is important," He smiles at Cynthia, "We always need more healers and someone who can sing is always good as well. Now Gorvenalus can you also try and dig out the winter menus of previous friars, there is a recipe I am looking for."

Gorvenalus nods "Shouldn't be too hard to find, Friar Lacota may even have something in his own room, but I do know some recipes are keep in the logger as well, I believe there is always a list of what is made and served in fact, for record reasons..."

Cynthia says, "I know Caleb can help with healing and maybe cooking even, he is still a great cook"

Xander rolls his eyes and mutters , "Wot not allowed to come back 'ere or something....." Ok he is grumpy, maybe grumpier than he looks.

Krisha sighs, first she smiles "We have returning beasts? That's great..."Then to Xander "Just was asking ok...you ok today?"

Benar decides to leave Xander to his wife, she will sort him out and smiles at Cynthia, "I have missed you both, it is nice to have you back with us. And thank you Gorvenalus, it won't be in Lacota's recipes, I have a vague memory of a type of cake I wanted to ask him to make but want to find the recipe first"

Gorvenalus chuckles "Sounds like a good plan Benar..I bet it will be a most wonderful cake"

Cynthia smiless "And me and Caleb and Cota will be there, another good reason for a new cake idea, maybe make something with strawberries too...tarts?"

Xander takes a deep breath and just stands up, he looks at Krisha and just steps back, "Shut Up..it's none of your business..."Words flood out before he has a chance to stop them as he blinks and then growls slightly,He makes a fist and then undoes it and just storms out, a vole novice quickly gets out of his path and frowns as they look back to the others.

Krisha stands there in a bit of shock, she starts to say something before he storms off and shakes her head as she slowly sits down, she needs to sit down now.

Benar glances over at Xander as he storms out like that and frowns, "I... oh dear, he really does not seem to be himself Krisha... ever since he had that bang to the head..." He frowns, "Maybe we should insist Angela has another look at him..."

Gorvenalus asks, "Should I go look for him and speak with him?"

Cynthia frowns "I would leave him alone, that was always good advice, let a beast calm down first and then speak to them" She then ask "I am guessing he usually isn't like that?"

Krisha shakes her head "No....sometimes he can be upset at things but not usually that upset, yeah"She sighs "Leave him alone for now"

Benar asks, "Yes perhaps best leave him be for now and to let him get it out of his system, so Cynthia, tell me when do we get to meet your son?"

Cynthia smiles "He is likely around the abbey somewhere, he is of novice age but I do not know what...path he wants to take in life yet, gonna let him decide that"

Krisha nods, she calms and smiles "Novice age...well maybe he will be in a class of mine, I do have one novice class, I have 3-4 others but those are for the dibbuns, Sister Ginny still does the reading and writing class."

Benar says, "Well Cynthia he is welcome at the abbey school whilst he is here if you want him to go along."

Gorvenalus nods "Krisha is...the badgermother now, has been about a season now"

Cynthia frowns as she nods "I....heard."She grows quiet, one of the first things she learned when she got to the abbey as she had wanted to let him know she was back and now she can't, not in the same way anyways "I missed a lot I guess"

Krisha nods slowly, "You can always catch up on some events, some have been rather dad but there has been some good events as well"

Benar settles back in ihs chair and smiles, listening to everyone talk quite happily, content to just listen for now

Gorvenalus says, "I can show you some logs, we did have the long Patrol here, a short while they helped with an issue we had , they headed back to their mountain afterwards"

Cynthia nods " That may of been interesting to see..."She is curious of one thing "Has Oswald ever did any more performanceing for the abbey lately, I still remember some music lessons he gave me,"She smiles "He probably be proud of how far I have come with music."

Krisha thinks "Wasn't he..at the summer feast?"

Benar asks, "Oswald? He was here at the feast yes and then he moved in with the GUOSIM, seems he has rejoined his people and is living with them now up at their new camp."

Gorvenalus says, "I been meaning to visit, maybe chat with the Gousim, but it can wait "

Cynthia smiles "He is around? Maybe I can visit or do they...frown on visitors at their camp, I..wouldn't want to like..come inivited"

Krisha says, "I think they are ok with visitors, long as it's a friend but I heard the camp is hidden and I have no idea where it is myself"

Benar stands up and smiles, "I will see you all later, I need to head up to my office, so I will see you all at dinner."

Gorvenalus nods "See you later today then Benar"

Cynthia stands “I..may go see if can visit Oswald, I will be careful I promise…”

Gorvenalus nods and hmmms “Take someone else with you, just in case”

Krisha nods “It might be a good idea, buddy system and all and if you see Xander….just tell him I want to talk with him please.”

Cynthia nods and heads off, another beast, an otter on the way back to Camp Willow will get her there, safe and sound.

Gorvenalus stands “Well I am off to find those menus Benar wanted…”He goes to the library, hopefully it's not too long of a search.

A couple spoofed foxes

LOG:

Patch by the bridge counting some coins he recently got and knowing patch its hard to say from where or just how honest it was.

Xander wanders into the sane area Patch is in and sits down on a fallen log by the river and stares at his reflection.He then snorts and holds in a urge to scream.

Patch jumps, his dagger is out and then..he sees Xander and folds his arms over his chest before putting the dagger away "Gee..warn a beast will ya Stripy....wot ya doing isn't thar like a beast eating pike in the river?"

Xander mutters "Sorry Patch....just a bad day..."He slaps the water and sighs letting himself fall backwards onto the ground, "Find out...what makes me..me....yeah not sure I wanna"

Patch blinks as he walks closer and looks down at the badger "Say..wot now? I know who ya are...your Xander Winters and......ummm....your like ....clearly not feeling that great and your paw is hurt...ok I missed something 'ere"

Xander sighs "Rope burn and the pike is dead thanks to the Gousim and Camp Willow otters, so no more pike"

Patch nods as he sits down by the badger "Oh well....make sure that grump moody healer at de abbey checks on that....and dead pike is great."

Xander nods as he looks at his paw "Yeah its dead...."He shrugs "Yeah I will let the abbey healers look at it, but they arnt....that grumpy"

Patch nods, he studies the badger "So if tis dead...why are you so...moody and whats this find out what makes
me...me...you...you.....thing?"

Xander shrugs and is still laying on the ground sort of starring into nothing, he turns so he is facing the side and just starts crying now, one of those just let it out and cry sort of things.His paw bandaged still but getting mud on it now and the badger don't seem to care.

DoraRose took her food to go and ate it as she followed the badger's tracks. It worked out beautifully until she reached the road. Then she just guessed that he /probably/ wouldn't be running away from home, so she headed South. Upon reaching the bridge, she has completely finished her food and cleaned off her paws. Resting one on her sword hilt, she stops and just looks at the scene in front of her. Blinking a couple of times, she then scowls at the rat. "Patch, what did you do this time? I thought you liked Xander!" Yeah, 'cause it's obviously the rat's fault.

Patch backs away and puts his paws up"I did nothing....I didn't break him, he can 'ere already broken and muttering about finding...something or other and how this pike is dead fer which I am glad...dead pike are better than live pike"

Xander doesn't respond to Dora right away, she could be a vermin out to kill him and he would just end up dead.He finally turns and looks at the two of them and frowns, he frowns more at the muddy bandaged paw, well least the bandage keeps the mud off.

DoraRose sighs heavily. "Okay, Patch, I'm sorry. You sometimes do crazy things, I guess I just assume you always will. I shouldn't've.
Sorry." She kneels down beside the badger. "Xander....honey, what's wrong? You can tell me. What's wrong?"

Patch does have a pouch of gold but it has nothing to do with the badger "Well...not de cause of...wot ever wrong with Stripy"

Xander frowns "I'm....I keep getting..grumpy and I yelled at you. And my memory is still all Swiss cheesy and tis not fair...I remember hardly anything of the past 4-5 seasons expect some of the fight with that group of vermin and how.....and how I FAILED my own family....and I'm supposed to learn on how to be a better leader of a small group of beasts and not learning anything and Log -A-Log said like like out..w...whot makes you...you.....or me...me and I don't know if I want ...like....me lately I..."He takes a deep breath and relaxes a little "Not been...not had anger ...issues since..since Jedrick..."Oh he remembers Jedrick and not a good thing, he oddly still knows his fighting skills, maybe one of those you just like....know things.

DoraRose sits criss-cross-applesauce beside the badger, surprisingly calm. "I'm not upset with you, Xander. You received a head injury, and then had a fever. It makes sense that parts of your brain were messed up. I don't think you're a failure. You're just alive, and nobeast alive is perfect." She goes to tug on his arm. "Please sit up. It's hurting my neck to be looking down at you like this."

Patch just stays off to the side, he would leave but then again its better he stays maybe " I heard of a fight...like 15 vermin de wildcat mentuoned it before he left the area...like again"

Xander slowly sits up and lays his sore paw on his lap, he frowns and sighs "Your...not helping Patch and I know Vojin and Ferro was there mainy cause they told me , I also remember slicing off some...cats head but it assnt the vermin leader and she got away"His anger flared but he manages to calm again and looks at the bandaged paw, its mud soaked as he sighs "Rope burns....hurt but its nor as bad as could be." And its not too bad....it did take off skin but it didn't go deep into the palm of his paw.He got lucky, still it hurts and will need checked a lot.

DoraRose nods, addressing the comment about his paw first. "Aye, that's actually not too bad at all. Hurts like crazy, but not too bad. If I had my haversack with me, I'd replace your bandages." Shifting slightly to find a more comfortable position, her face softens slightly.
"Yeah, that was kind of scary, huh? I'm glad you're better. 'Twasn't your fault she got away," the Gatekeeper adds, having noticed his anger. "You did the best you could, and that's what matters. I'm just glad you're pretty much okay."

Patch looks in his pouch and shakes his head, then leans on a tree trunk and looks at the two beasts"Ya know...maybe get a fight or two in at de fighting pits...be fun"

Xander shrugs as he frowns "Bad dream also last night or maybe....a memory.."He frowns at Patch "Fighting pits? Really?"

DoraRose glares at the rat. "That is a /terrible/ idea. NO. /Looking/ for a fight is a bad idea, trust me, I did that for many, many seasons. It is not okay, and not the path of the Warrior." Shaking her head, she adds quietly, "I, too, am haunted by the memories of my past, of past fights and battle....of beasts I cared about dying and my not being able to save them. I fear it is one of the darker sides of being a Warrior: having to relive those thoughts forever."

Patch says, "Wot....a badger fighting, that be so cool and lots of coins involved..weather ya won or not""

Xander glares at the rat, the rat is not helping as he snorts and frowns as he looks back to Dorarose " But...I don't...want to remember certain things and clearly not...."He frowns and holds back tears "Someone dieing in my arms and me not be able to do anything "

DoraRose scowls darkly at the rat. "You're being literally the opposite of helpful, and if you don't hush, I'll give you a fight." Yeah, that's a warning, so he'd best shut up. Sighing again, she nods. "I don't think any of us want to remember these things, Xander. But I don't know of any way to make them go away, and believe me, I have tried. Not being able to save my baby sister....my husband....so many friends...but I'm not sure I necessarily want to forget those things. Because wouldn't that make me forget the beasts I love, too?"

Patch frowns and just sits on a log..away from them, but looks over at them still and frowns a little.

Xander shrugs "I..I don't...know."He frowns "I mean remembering when someone died...is bad and...it happen but I forgot and I had forgotten Uncle Oz died and then was told and I wasn't even there with him..Benar and Lacota was and I wasn't...I should of been at his side not off where ever I was and finding out later that day..wot kinda of family member am I...and I don't know why things are..making me moody and grumpy and.."He makes a fist and unmakes one as he frowns "I just..get moody and yeah and...I have avoided harming anyone but wot if I do?"

DoraRose shakes her head. "Remembering their death isn't bad. Death is just bad. Being sad is not bad, though. It's a necessary part of life because we can not know what happiness looks like if we have not experienced anything else." She goes to gently hold his uninjured paw. "You can't keep on punishing yourself for what happened in the past, Xander. You have to forgive yourself. I punished myself for seasons, but some dear friends showed me that I must forgive myself in order to live and love well." She looks up as a bird flies over their heads. They're really in a dangerous spot right now, so she's staying alert for any attacks that may come. Just in case. "I trust you, Xander. I believe you would never hurt anyone intentionally, and you have the capability to control yourself enough to not hurt anyone when you're upset. I believe in you."

Patch looks around "Hmmms...should we like...move?"

Xander nods slowly as he is half alert and is usually fairly alert"It...hurts to..remember..things and know you didn't do other things maybe you could of..."He sniffs as chcukleing is suddenly heard, he has let her take his uninjured paw and looks up and starts to glare at the rat...wait its not the rat....he scans the area and sees a couple foxes and snorts."Leave..."He says...the foxes chuckle "The stripdog told us to leave, the stripe dog is rude..right Bob" The other fox nods "Yeah...then stripedogs be stupid anyways it free to walk around" The one word is not the best word to use right now.

DoraRose sighs. Because of course some random foxes would have to show up. Standing, she smiles and draws her sword. "I'm sorry, you must not have understood what my friend said. Please leave and spare us from a battle. 'Twould be unpleasant for all involved, don'tcha know."

Patch looks at the foxes and frowns, "Yeah...like leave and stuff..go away or get stabed"He goes to get his..wait where is his dagger!He frowns.."Great" He mutters,
The two foxes "Whats dis...a rat friends with a mouse and a ..stripedog" Gee they like that word as they look at Xander who is getting peeved "whats de matter...stripedog"And a long blade is drawn as the badger snorts and...right away is slicing and slashing at the two foxes who seemed ready, of course the badger gets a couple good slashes in, then one of the foxes does some jump in the air kick in the jaw sort of thing and Xander is slammed into the side of the stone bridge they are beside and groans as his shoulder is a little dislocated, the foxes laughs, well one ...the other is holding a seriously bleeding shoulder wound and is bleeding on their forehead too, the other fox has an injury on his side but its not deep.

Patch was at first like yeah kick the fox..yeah in the gut oh yeah stab him..."Then Xander is...possiblely out of the fight..."Not good..not good!!"

DoraRose rolls her eyes. Great. Just great. Grabbing some dirt, she tosses it at the face of the least injured fox, then swipes her sword up, then across, aiming to slice the fox open as he is (hopefully and temporarily) incapacitated.

Xander groans in pain, semi coniuous and not too helpful right now, the one fox just laughs and then dirt is in his eyes as he tries to slice at the mouse, her blade makes a gash onto his chest as he tenses up in pain and falls onto his knees coughing up blood.The other one backs up and looks ready to fight, he looks at the creatures and studies a rat "A rat is friends with a mouse and badger..thats stupid..I should end your life for being foolish.."Xander slowly stands up, a little shaky now but willing to attack the foxes again.

DoraRose ducks the swings from the fox she just injured. Still silent, she leaps forward and engages with the chatty fox, trying to stab him in the chest after attempting to knee him in the groin! She's not in the mood to fight fair today. Maybe she's also having some anger issues today...

Patch frowns "Umm..why not?" He has no weapons to fight so he dashs to a tree and climbs it as he peers down" Ya...ummm win win Dora..fight fight..I'm here for ya" Yeah he is hiding in a tree.He glaces at Xander and frowns "Oh...man...."

Xander stands, shakie as the two foxes, one about to pass out, fight Dora..Dora ends the life of one fox and one is still alive and grins aiming to stab the mouse after blocking one move. "Leave...her alone" The fox smirks as he turns his back on the mouse "Alright....sides always wanted to slay a stripedog.." One swing blocked. another....another kick as the badger cant fight well with a dislocated shoulder as the fox chuckles footpaw on his chest ,"This is fun...I will be feared for this...."Seems he forgot the mouse is behind him."Last..words?"

DoraRose barely dodges the stab to her chest, still getting a wound that bleeds. As the next part of the fight unfolds, the Gatekeeper smiles grimly. Stepping forward, she goes to stab the remaining fox through! "Oh, yeah, you'll be feared. Every beast will fear for their lives when you're around, since you just got killed by a girl." She pulls her sword out and goes to behead him for good measure.

Patch watches and frowns "NO no no...oh..."He jumps down and smirks "Ha ha...fox died"

The fox grins "Goo----"He blinks there is a blade growing out of his chest and he sort of is shock, Xander closes his eyes and then opens them in time to see a fox head sort of fall to the forest floor and the rest of the fox sideways as he coughs a little and sits up slowly and yells out in pain when he tries to move his shoulder, he looks around and uses his good arm to stand..slowly and is clearly in pain..."Dora....you...ok..."He growls a little..pain is bad, "Can't move my arm..good..."He knows enough to get the blade with his good arm and slide in into its case and tenses up.."Hurts...."Great now he does need to see Angela, but its fine.

Patch frowns and goes to stand beside them "Stripy..ya look like ..ya look horrible" He looks at Dorarose "Remind me ta NOT...to ever be your enemy...so to the abbey?"

DoraRose cleans her sword and sheaths it, scowling. "Yeah, I'll make sure to remind you of that next time you're snarking off." She goes to grab the badger by his good arm. "Okay, there's no way I can carry you or support you, so we need to get to the Abbey as soon as possible and get your shoulder checked on. Come on." She tries to lead him south along the road.

Xander nods, he can walk, its a shoulder injury after all.He keeps an eye on the road and lucky no one tries to attack them, but it is past dinner when they get back.

Patch nods , he follows only cause he wants to see them get back ok, though once at the gates he backs off "Ok ummm...yeah seee ya later, your good to go inside.." And Patch is gone.

DoraRose makes sure they get back safely. Once they're in the Infirmary, they discover that Angela is actually off duty and looking for the Gatekeeper at the moment. So the Warrior mouse, grabbing some bandages and herbs, wanders off to find her grandmother to get fixed up and to allay her worries. She'll check on the badger later.

Well there is Gorvenalus as he frowns after its explained what happens and checks on Xander, a frown "What I will need done is...gonna seriously hurt" But he knows it needs done but he will need some help.

Help is...well there is Matilda who nods and frowns,..."Ok.."So get a shoulder back in place..what fun as the beaver and hedgehog will work together, does give a warning first before the shoulder is moved and hopefully in place.

Xander frowns, he already knows he will serious hate this and breaths in and out in a sort of mediation and then...he yells out in pain, shivers and a small whimper as he lays on the bed and shivers a little. Ok that seemed to hurt..worse.

Maltilda frowns as she is excused and leaves Gorvenalus "I'm..sorry my friend.."He finds some willowbark and one other herb and mixes it in some water "Drink...and rest"He says quietly, he will also re bandage the paw.

Xander nods as he obeys and coughs a little, but the mixture will help lessen the pain a lot and help him sleep, he will sleep till morning now, maybe till almost lunch time.

Gorvenalus sighs and sits down nearby, he did say he help in the infirm for the nightly shift. He finds a couple blankets and makes sure the badger stays warm. Then sits down in a chair, he will stay in the chair and maybe write in his log book only getting up to help if one walks into the infirm.

Looks at the map....Hmmms I wasnt thinking they are on the island but you know what....

I LOVE THE IDEA!!!

What better way to make sure those slaves have a harder time escaping...there can still be a sort of cavern under ground on the island too I just need to change a slight bit of the description is all....I will need to +summon them to where the Blackrose is but thats not a problem, OOCLY its linked elsewhere but ICLY it can be that island in the middle of the inward lake. And just for fun...maybe Kalypso has a couple pet pike in that lake...yeah lets just add to the fun shall we

So they get to fight a couple pet pikes in the lake, then fight slavers who have a hare maid captive that once she is freee can join the LP !

Now the Blackrose isn't a large group, (Maybe 50 members ICLY...and about 20ish slaves, half are rabbits of a village that was there, they burned down the village homes and took over makeing the caverns a slave den...and the Blackrose can finally, once and for all...be defeated!!

FUN! CANT'S WAIT!!!
