COOL
and not sure if bandits will happen yet or not, maybe later but bandits attacking in an ambush or middle of the night can happen at any time!

A little don't try and rob the LP ...its a bad idea sort of role play. So it may or may not happen before the Southsward event, could happen afterwards.....will see.

WHO:

Vilfred- Log-A-Log

Deniz- Boat builder otter from Camp willow

Gaheris-Skipper of Camp Willow

Aqua- Healer Otter from Camp Willow

Berwin-Cook from Gousim

Couple spoofed Guosim

LOG:

The woods and river seemed so calm one could almost forget there was killer fish about but Skipper was expecting a visit from the shrews at any moment and had told the guards to send them this way to the canal. The canal itself was old as time and Gah knew it's history with pike but he was a little uneasy as he stood by the edge and watched the little fish the otters had been breeding in the waters swimming about.

Deniz has been looking around the camp and exploring a little and now sits to take a break, he speaks to Skipper "Hey Skipper...you doing well today?"

Aqua was nearby, she left Melody with a caretaker for now, she will check on her later.She is happy to home, though does miss the beach also.She glaces over at the others but decides to stay where she is, least for now in case they are busy.

Vilfred has Berwin and a couple other shrews with him as he speaks "Course I be knowing where I am going..."Ok a little lost, then sees the otters and grins "See told ya."

Berwin looks around and folds his arms over his chest "You were lost admit it..I am all for learning the way around but not fer getting lost."

Gaheris looks back when he hears Deniz "'Ey. Enjoyin' yer new 'ome? Just waitin' fer- ah, there we are" His thoughts interrupted as the shrews arrive "Log-a-Log! Welcome. Safe travels I'm 'opin'? No trouble on the river?"

Deniz nods "I like it so far, more areas to see still but its nice"

Aqua walks over when the shrews arrive , curious as to why they are here. But she will let Skipper do the talking for now.

Vilfred nods "No troubles the past couple days at least, which is good but pike is surely still around. We have mainly stayed busy in our camp..even checked de old camp for a short while, but no troubles recently"

Berwin waves "No one has seen it doesn't mean tis not there still, then few of us been by the river the past few days just to be on the safe side"

Gaheris nods once "Good but aye, pike tha' size ain't likely t'just up an' disappear. Worse case is it's moved on t'terrorise some other beasts" He's briefly distracted to nod a greeting to Aqua "Didn't see y'idin' there" He looks back to the shrews "So, y'were lookin' fer a plan t'take care ah it?"

Deniz says, "That pike is a little scary, though sharks are worse but no worries sharks are only in the sea"

Vilfred nods "Yes, a plan...and good one. A net maybe but would need to be strong and a good way to trap...and slay it, what do with afterwards, no clue..but left to go back and forth in de river it can harm someone...it has..hurt someone and killed least one beast..maybe another"Thought the other was a vermin that was stealing a log boat so maybe they don't count as much.

Berwin sighs and stays by the other couple shrews that taged along, like guards or scouts maybe "Last time it was seen between here and the Gousim camp, before that closer to the camp, seems ta like the middle of the river unless there is a beast in the river at the time it is"

"The sharks were fun t'join in the 'unt on but I wouldn't want 'em near 'ome" The Skipper says to Deniz before he nods at the canal as he talks to the shrews "We used t'ave a pike, well, we is a bit ah a stretch, the camp did. Was back before the abbey was made. I think they lured it in 'ere an' trapped it but I ain't sure on the details of how they did it"

Aqua listens quietly before speaking "I rather have no sharks or pikes here, normal fish only please."

Deniz grins "I could punch it again"Yeah he punched the pike and he is proud of the fact even if he fainted afterwards once on shore, he survived, he is brave as he smiles at Aqua."I would keep ya safe....and ummm..the guards too or just wait ti swim till its gone which be...soon right?" He looks to the others.

Vilfred looks at the canal, the gates mainly and the fish and hmmms...."Not being sure...not like be easy to get it inside....then inside thar is always shoot with arrows or spears..rid waters of pike and rid of fears of possible attack or ...death as both our groups want to enjoy the river, get fish got boating or maybe swimming in otters case."

Berwin says, "Well I dont think pike would be on a menu plan if it does die, get rid of it I say and just fer ya info Log-A-Log you best not voleterr to be bait...rather not have a new leader when its not even been a full season since..."He frowns now, yeah lets not bring up memories of Alllea.

Gaheris smirks at Deniz "We'll keep y'punchin' it as a back up plan" He gets some of the scraps they'd been using to feed the fish in the canal and crouches down by the edge to throw some in and watch the fish quickly swim about to get it "Much as I 'ate t'undo our 'ard work 'ere I reckon this place could 'old a pike again but whether we get it 'ere or trap it out with nets gettin' it is the problem, it's got too much river t'ide in, we can't 'unt it down" He nods at Berwin "Bait is just wha' we need"

Deniz chuckles "Maybe its staying in the same..genral area or its moved elsewhere..most likely find out, well somehow but like carefully find out"

Aqua frowns "Yeah but ...bait..what sort of bait? And do we know when it may be around more often like time of day, that would be helpful" She will likely need to be around in case a healer is needed.

Vilfred nods "I..know...not gonnna purposely be bait for a large fish, not to worry."He is thinking on a plan"Nets be good...as fer bait am not..knowing...some sort of fresh cut up fish?"

Berwin sighs, wait they do want bait? He frowns "Yesh but any live bait could end up dead bait,,then what? Unless ye got a really fast tricky swimmer and luck"

Gaheris gestures out towards the river as he's thinking "'e's got an entire river full ah fish, I don't know tha' wavin' some bits around is likely t'get 'is attention"

Deniz says, "Maybe someone swimmimg....well maybe" He knows it could be dangerous..."So wot do we do?"

Aqua frowns at Deniz and shakes her head "I am sure we can think of something, what did they do before? Is there records here or at the abbey or was that before the abbey was even around?"

Vilfred sits to think and studies the canal and gate frowning a little "There is...always way to do things just...think, maybe learn way to here from river....and if see pike somehow be leading it here or force it to come this way"

Berwin rolls his eyes "Can we get it here without possible death? That be nice Log-A-Log..I am all fer getting rid of this pike though, its still here somewwhere and likely waiting ta strike again...it.."He is grumpy , when isnt he "It killed Ash...about killed Lyra too...."

Gaheris stares at the canal gates too, thinking "Alrigh'" He finally says "'ow about this. We get out in boats big enough it can't tip 'em an' we drive it this way. We double up some nets, bind 'em t'gether. If we get lucky an' catch 'em on the way, great. If not..." He nods at the canal "We open the gates. The fish gettin' out might get 'is attention if 'e's close. We 'ave one otter, I'll volunteer meself, t'swim at the far end ah the canal an' draw 'im in. Put a rope on me, 'aul me out second 'e gets inside an' shut the gates on 'im" he runs the idea through his head again and frowns "Thoughts?"

Deniz frowns a little but seems to think " Guess gates wouldn't need open...too long and you be on this side of the gate..rope is good long as its a strong one and we..hope fer the best?"

Aqua frowns "Hope for......?" She dislikes the idea and looks at the canal and gates and sighs "Gonna take a little while to make some good strong nets....but still"

Vilfred listens as he studies the river entry of the canal, the canal and gates as he is quiet, then "Been making one large net, not done yet....plan could work if all go well..plan could also go badly too, no one knows how plan will go or how anything will go till happens. Pike seems to like area between camps, so far...and couple times been around close to dusk...maybe once in morning was seen briefly...so maybe possible time to look...and try and be ready in case shows up and not have things ready"

Berwin listens and frowns its clear he dislikes any idea of live bait but there is likely no other way.

"Y'got a better plan I'm all ears" The Skipper isn't exactly happily jumping in to pike infested water but it's the best he's got "We've got some big nets but it'll take some work t'bind 'em an' make 'em strong enough"

Deniz says, "Might need someone to make sure it goes the right way.....maybe and not..really..others have a point it could like harm someone and it may be easier to like..l say somehow in the canal, less room to like swim much...""He frowns at a thought less room for anyone or anything else to swim too if the pike is angry."So...we likely have time to plan and stuff......right?"

Aqua shakes her head and speaks quietly "I will make sure the infirm is well stocked..."

Vilfred says, "Strong beasts to pull..."He suddenly grins"I KNOW a beast..a badger!"He chuckles "He been helping at the camp..a badger be perfect to help pull nets"

Berwin raises an eyebrow, the other two shrews nod, yep there is the badger .He shrugs "Long as he dont fall into de river...could be helpful and if needed he has a large sword...then again...yeah just help with nets is good not sure if could stab de pike if was in the river supposedly he cant swim"

Aqua listens to them all chat "Can a beast fight with a blade under water if they had to.."She frowns as she is tapped on the shoulder "Great....teething, got to go...and if its too soon or when ever it is, no one die ok"

Deniz watches Aqua head off and looks at the shrews and Skipper as seems to be a lot of thinking today"I don't..fighting requires one to breath good and one cant breath under water....well too long anyways"

Gaheris looks at Vilfred at the mention of a badger "Aye, tha' would 'elp with the nets. I don't think any ah us should be tryin' t'get close enough t'use blades though"

Vilfred nods "No....could add more danger and yes...badger be helpful and I am sure he would help make sure nets hold and we get pike to canal and get it inside...get whimever is inside out quickly and...then take down pike, then...well...do something with it "

Berwin shrugs "Somone can cook de pike I dont care...once tis gone it be a lot more peaceful round here...sort of like having the badger around fer de season"

Deniz listens as they plan"Never caught any pike before....my father once almost caught a shark but it got away."

Gaheris wrinkles his nose "I still say pike tastes 'orrible. Can use the darn thing t'get all me fish back!" He gestures to the fish in the canal "Mount it's skull on a wall or somethin'"

Berwin chuckles at the idea "Like a trophie..hmmms we can help get some fish back, hopefully ya wont lose too many"

Deniz smiles "Fishing is always fun and we can wait till its like right up assist the gate and open it, close it quickly and...as said whom ever is...well bait is pulled out quick as well"

Vilfred nods "We have a plan just need ta work on it and hope it works with no issues...I have learnt issues can and will happen at times."

Gaheris finally gets up from the canal's edge and stands again "I'd like a back up plan tha' ain't just kill it quick but I ain't got much. It's a plan, we could 'ave worse ones"

Deniz thinks he has.....nothing as he shrugs.

Berwin says, "Plan B is always good..ya don't want it in the canal too long either unless ya can like...make the area it comes to smaller temparyly...not dealed with pike before..Bandits yeah...vermin....had to outrun be once but only the pike once and there was no plan them just get out of the water...some vermin tried ta still de log boat and...well de pike sort of took some anger on the vermin beast at the time too"

Vilfred sighs "I...do not know....we stay alert, be careful and hope plan works good...but other plan good too if come up with one....maybe have archers,,,slingers ready..I am not knowing good archer sadly"

Gaheris tilts his head "Tha' ain't a bad idea. Could board off a corner in case, gap small enough fer us t'get through...assumin' the pike is bigger than us" He doesn't seem too concerned about the vermin but he does frown "We go away fer the season an' the fish get uppity"

Deniz hmmms "Maybe.....move the fish...I dont know we....could make area the pike goes in smaller and still have some fish for it just....still need to get out who ever quickly if the umm...bait is needed that is"

Berwin says, "I am sure something will work out....hope so anyways. maybe have plan in case it like shows up before we are really even or have what need like really close."

Vilfred listens and smiles a little , maybe this will work as the plan is set and some ideas to help it is also forming.

Gaheris rubs the base of his whiskers as he's still thinking "I'd love t'move 'em Deniz but by the time we've dug tha' much it might 'ave killed someone else" He takes a deep breath "We can get some ah the small fish out in t'barrels or somethin', tip 'em back in when we're done" He glances back to Vilfred "Some welcome back fer yer Guosim eh?"

Deniz says, "Barrels could work and just quick with the open/shut of gate"

Vilfred chuckles "Yeah....not de best but area is better than by de old church like it was and better than the area a camp was by de river yes but that camp has....yes been just too much to fix up so we moves and location os good"

Berwin says, "There is also a couple wild honey bee hives to get honey from....we may wanna find a way to get those hives inta some better place come winter though...an issue or after de pike I say"

Gaheris shrugs to Deniz "We'll do wha' we can an' rebuild after. We can't bring back dead beasts though, if the worst we do is lose the fish it'll be better than leavin' a pike out there" He looks back to the shrews "This place burnt down, movin' might 'ave been easier but call me stubborn we rebuilt anyway. We ain't got bees though, never tried t'catch 'em before"

Deniz says, "Yeah...fish can be replaced it needed"

Vilfred nods "Maybe could of...went back to old river camp...but decided on where we are now..shrews tend to wander...but thinking we stay put now...camp at church area...just...no bad area and no river, was a creek but not same and was too easily...ambushed"

Berwin says, "The area by church was ...Allea idea, was bad idea but she was Log-A-LOg at de time..."He frowns remembering what happen shortly after summmer started "Siides..river is lifeblood of the shrew, so is good to be at its side now"

Gaheris looks in the direction of the river. They're pretty well concealed in the camp, easy to miss the turn off from the river if you don't know it's there "'ard t'imagine shrews not livin' on the river. Made the place quiet without all the yellin' an' arguments"

Berwin looks at Log-A-Log "You work on plan...I will meet you back at camp and do NOT be late to dinner again"He heads back to camp, he knows the way its like a hour or maybe little under two walk, jogging makes it less time.

Vilfred nods to Berwin and grins at the Skipper "Well...likely wont always be quiet now...soon we be on log boats again...and soon my friend!"

Deniz chuckles , the shrews are neat"Maybe I can see the camp, I know I want to see the abbey..but yeah the pike issue...first"

Gaheris snorts and smirks at the Log-a-log "I don't know whether tha's a good thing. Y'need 'elp y'let us know though. We'll 'ave the rivers busy with shrews an' otters again one day" he nods at Deniz "Y'll see it all mate, includin' pike death 'opefully"

Deniz nods as smiles, "I may go check on...Aqua..she is a good friend...see ya later Skipper"

Vilfred chuckles"Well quiet is not always good either.."

Gaheris nods to Deniz and then it's just the Skipper and Log-a-log left "Truth be told I'll take anythin' over the quiet" he watches the fish for a moment longer before shrugging a shoulder and starting to get moving "Righ', I'll dig out those nets and we'll get t'work on 'em. Leave y't'yer shrew wranglin'"

Vilfred nods "We willl rid the river of this pike together."He just hopes with few injuries and zero deaths, the only death he wants to see in the aftermath is the Pike.The next few days will be busy thats for sure

Vilfred was in a good mood, this morning was a fairly good morning as he checked the log boats and smiled “Yes...just need the one fixed and we are all set”

Berwin sighs “Of course...can't it wait till breakfast least?”

Xander was sitting by the river quietly, sort of staring at the river in thought.

Vilfred nods “Yes...food does a beast good…”He looks to Xander and nods to the Berwin “I..may be late so eta without me”

Berwin throws his paws into the air and just stormed off muttering to himself.

Xander half paid attention to the shrews this morning as he looked at the water and wipes some tears away.

Mavis wanders over and then steps back, she then speaks”I didn't do it...I just got hee.”

Velfred walks over to Xander and studies him, he answer Mavis “This I am knowing…”He goes to where he can face the badger “Xander?”

Xander looks at the Log-A-Log and frowns “I’m..sorry..I..I was just ...had a bad dream and then got to thinking why and then how it seemed so real , but part of it was real..my daughter did..did die and I was..holding her..I failed her..” He gets a memory back and it’s one right before hs fight of all things with the slaver group.

Mavis frowns but decides not to ask as she looks at Log-A-Log unsure what to do.”

Vilfred frowns, he is not good at comforting crying beasts, now Allea..she was...He frowns, oh she was great at that comfort stuff...but he may know, in a way, what he is going through”Xander….a favor?”

Xander lets some tears fall “Wot...I don't want to do anything today..I just fail somehow and the one time you needed help...Keldorn saved you...Keldorn..why cause I can't swim, wot kind of leader am I...what ..kind”

Mavis speaks “Well few badgers like...swim right?”

Vilfred sighs, “You only..fail if don’t...try if give up….”He goes to pull on the badger’s cloak “Walk with me...I show you something...Mavis can come as well.”

Xander sighs as he stands “Alright”He goes to quietly follow the shrews, in fact it's likely a quiet walk on his part.

Mavis just follows her leader.

The walk is about a little under half a day, they are close to the St. Nihms church….an old campsite with weeds, a tall sort of lookout hill of dirt and a burnt hollowed log, bits of cloth and...graves.

Vilfred walks up to one tracing the name…”Hey...Allea….”He looks at the others and turns to Xander” I..felt like..I failed when this happen..I was to be Log-A-Log..sort of like a co leader in way when..when “He frowns “When Allea was alive...I felt so unsure of this area...thought I seemed something and we should look into it...no I worry she said and she was Log-A-Log..not I…”

Mavis frowns, she remembers that night, a noise...seeing a rat and hearing the famous LogaLog call and seeing the rat run off, she followed to then see Log-A-Log at the time..with an arrow buried in their chest, barely alive.

Xander looks around and frowns”But….you likely had little or no..warning”

Vilfred feels tears now and looks at the badger”I was the first one out….seen the arrow hit and caught her when she fell from the lookout mound...she died within moments and I remember laying her down and the rest sort of bad blur”He sighs “Badgers are not only beast whom can go into the bloodwrath….”

Xander frowns, he doesn't remember the fight with the Blackrose slavers, he does remember Northstar….tripping after a dagger was in her arm, how the dibbun yanked it out and clinged onto him, how everything seemed ok..then...her dying in his arms. The rest he only knows from what Vojin and Ferro had said..how he handed his daughter off to Ferro, sliced off a vermin head..killed 10 others and how the rest ran in total panic, yeah Vojin killed a couple and the rest go away, he had decided to not hunt them down, sides he had no clue a direction and he had his wife to comfort and to gain forgiveness from, he had gained it but he still felt...so very lost and..”But I ..failed...I could of gotten to her faster or told..told Vokin to freaking shoot the cat…”

Mavis sits on a log and folds her arms in her lap.

Vilfred wipes away his own tears and walks over to Xander “ You did not fail...I did not fail, but seems first words from a leaders mouth ...yes? But then ask this...would faster of helped? Did you know that would happen? Can you be one place 24/7….a leader is not 100 perfect and a winner all de time, things happen..bad things, good things, in between things and we remember and...learn from them and yes it is..sad”He sighs “I may not know of how lost of child feels...but I do know how lost of older sister feels..both...are family and lost of family is more painful at times than lost of friends, which lost as well….we did not know ambush would happen...you did not know..could not know of vermin ambushing you and daughter...our look at shrew was shot with an arrow as well...4 vermin slipped into one of two large tents we had...killed 10 before we knew what was happening...somehow Log-a-Log Allea woke up and ran to lookout mound and sounded alarm..she woke others and me before she...before she was slain...I know how feels lose someone close as she took last breath while I held her.”

Xander frowns he looks at the ground, tears fall, he nods in understanding.”It’s important to move on….I still have a lot of my last 4-5 seasons all ...blurry I guess, some slightly clearer things are right before the fight with the slavers…”

Mavis is quiet and nods to Log-A-Log “Your a good leader Log-A-LOg and we are glad to have you and I am sure the badger….ummm Xander was it...is good leader for his group, whatever that is..its the the long patrol is it?”

Xander chuckles “No...Thats Lord Ciocan..8.5 foot tall badger...I am leader of the Mossflower Defenders, it's a small group...couple allys in it also, one is a Long Patrol hare..another is a head warrior at an abbey called Willlowbark”

Vilfred listens as he looks around, a few quiet moments but he does find something in the dirt he thought lost, his family crest locket as a smile forms and he tucks it into a pocket “Let us head back to camp before sun sets….is good walk to camp from here”

Mavis stands and stretches “Walking is good, can't go everywhere in the rivers and streams after all….wonder how interesting the sea is”

Xander sighs, but a small smile he can remember the good and not the bad, he can...move on as he walks along” The sea is not that great...I mean it's ok, but not in a strom”

Vilfred nods “Storms are not always good ...weather meaning real storm or sometimes life troubles is called...storm.”He smiles at a thought “Once had said to me a storm in life may seem ...coming at worst times...but it washes away the bad and leaves the good...yes sometimes it may do a little damage but can repair easily or go better path if one that seemed easy...was not so easy after all”

Mavis stays with the group of course till they get to camp, on the way to camp she listens quietly to them talking

Xander tilts his head as he listens, he also stays alert for any dangers, troubles along the way back..so far...none.”So ...ok that sounds deep but can meditate on it” A small smile, he is feeling a little better

Vilfred smiles , there will be no trouble on the way back...the only trouble, and it's not much of one, they have on the way back is getting stuck in some downpour of rain, but it passed rather quickly and they got the rest of the way to camp slightly after dinner time.

Berwin- Cook in Guosim

Liegh- Healer in Guosim

Xander- Leader of Mossflower Defenders

Keldorn- Novice of Redwall

Mavis- Scout in Guosim

Couple spoofed Guosim Shrews

LOG:

It was a normal day in the camp of the Guosim. Today they were arguing over what to make for desert….

“Apple crumble”

“I vote blueberry”

“No Strawberry ya loser”

Berwin snorted and crossed his arms over his chest “I should make ye all forget sesert...butch of argueing fools”

Mavis just sat on a log that had been made into a place to sit and yawned

Xander just looked between the shrews and back to Log-A-Log “Do they always argue like this?”

Leigh comes out of her small hut and nods “Yes, its common around here.”

Vilfred just chuckles as he listens and grins at Berwin”Oh your just grumpy cause ya burnt de rolls earlier”

Keldorn chuckles as he listens in “Reminds me of when a couple hares argued over whether pie or cake were better to have”

“I say blueberries!”

Yeah apples tis…”

A look is given to Berwin who just hmmphs…”I am de cook I say what there is for desert and you like or else!”He looks at the Log-A-LOg “Yeah yeah...whos’s fault tis that..yours for distracting me at bad time”

Mavis chuckles a little, she is enjoying this.

Lyra tilts her head “Why not make little mini tarts, ya know each beast can pick thar own that way then everyone is happy”

Xander smiles “I like her idea. Course not sure who makes final choice on that”

Vilfred smiles “Berwin is cook, he decides and yeah yeah but was good reason to be distracting you had meeting on info about pike…”

Leigh just shrugs, “I don’t care...but tarts do sound nice, with honey on them”

Keldorn listens to see if any decision will be made or not, he likely will just go to bed soon.

“Own tarts?”

“That sounds..like a plan!”

Berwin hmms and nods “Fine then small mini tarts or apple, some of blueberries, strawberries and gonna use leftover blackberry too and honey on top of all...yes...desert is soon!” He marches off to make desert, well least that was settled.

Mavis smiles “Well that is settled, isn't it”

Lyra chuckles, she likes this camp so far and glances over at Log-A-Log a moment before looking to her bandaged footpaw and sighs.

Xander chuckles, he hasn’t chuckled in a few weeks “Guess shrews can work out things after all huh Log---Log?”

Leigh goes to check on Lyra “You doing ok?Youer footpaw hurt any. When I looked earlier it was healing nicely and you should be able to walk on it a little soon, not too much right away though.”

Vilfred nods, “Though was our new member Lyra who came up with good plan and was most excellent plan also.”He looks at Xander as he stands “While dessert is made come with me a few moments Xander.”

The shrews seem to start to relax now as desert is made, one shrew yawns but waits before they sleep for the night.

Berwin makes the tarts as he watches Log-A-Log start to wander off “Best not go too far or be gone long or will miss tarts.”Not to worry he would save his leader one of course but no one else knows that.

Keldorn decides he is tired and nods “Goodnight all, enjoy de tarts..today has been a long day”He wanted to help get the log boat done before the day was over and sand it, he did and kept his promise and now he needs sleep.
Mavis frowns “But your miss tarts…..I ‘ll save ya one”

Lyra shakes her head “My footpaw is ok just upset at myself for letting myself get injured in the first place.”

Xander meanwhile follows Log-A-Log “So...what did you need Log-A-Log?”

Vilfred smiles at the badger”To one..say thanks for helping get dinning hall up and helping with building of infirm as well….and having the moles come help here at camp, a lot has been done in a short period of the time”

Xander smiles “I..well your welcome and well..Benar sort of got the moles to come and so did Keldorn,I just showed them where and what needed build sooner rather than later”

“Still” Log-A-Log says “You helped and you are good at carrying heavy things and fairly good at putting walls up for huts and using the hammer and nails”

Berwin wanders over and hmmphs “You and the badger is lucky I save you each a tart, thank me later when your not busy but yes Log-A-Log is correct you have been most helpful”

Xander smiles and gets his tart “Umm..your welcome, still need to learn like the..you know leadership skills”

Vilfred gets his tart and nibbles it slowly “You have learnt some I do believe by watching. Watch still and we can talk in morning”

Berwin listens as he eats a blackberry tart.

Xander frowns “Just..watch..but?” Ok think what has he learnt maybe watching and listening “That...beasts don't always get along but given time they...might? And that some problems are simple like what's for dessert and others are a lot more ...well deep”He sighs as he sits . he is tried but maybe he can mediate or something, both his uncles had said it helps”I'm ...sorry, I think I will just try wot my uncles and grandfather did..meditate..and think, then I am gonna go to bed”

Vilfred nods “Good idea..think on what makes you…”He smiles. “You” He then heads back into camp making sure Berwin gets back ok and he will check on xander before it gets too late and get him back to camp as well.

Maybe friday6th or monday9th?

Berwin is in the camp and..pacing back and forth muttering to himself, looks ready to maybe rip his fur out or well...someones fur

Leigh steps into the main camp and frowns"Ya ..stressed or something, let me guess..they have yet to bring the spices ya need?"

Berwin looks over at her "Stressed? I am..I am NOT STRESSED!" He is stressed and it shows, a couple shrews near him back off a little.

Oswald ducks under a bunch of long hanging trees near the edge of camp, retieing his bandana and looks over toward the sound of raised voices.

Leigh rolls her eyes "whatever....some days are stressful and some days are not, it's sunny so like smile"

Berwin frowns "He's missing ok..that's why I am stressed...we were collecting honey from that wild bee hive, that went...very well and then the shrew maid fell in the river and he just HAD to go get her out and...they got caught in the current and you know what...that pike is STILL AROUND!!"

Oswald walks over, "Log-a-Log gone and done something herocally stupid has he?" He looks at Leigh and quirks a brow

Leigh frowns "Log -A-Log is missing?" Ok well that's a good reason to be stressed then, ok..."So..wot do we do then?"

Berwin sighs "I...wouldn't say stupid....maybe...and yeah he is missing for now..I mean we have no clue what is down river"

Oswald says, "Well if he is missing someplace down the river, we should get in the boats and head that way. If he's out of the water he'll be sticking to the river bank surely?"

Leigh nods "What about the pike? It's still around somewhere though I know its not been seen except maybe once or twice so far"

Berwin says, "We stab it if it comes after the boat, fairly easy....right?"

Oswald says, "YEah and it's underwater we are shrews, we are GUOSIM we can take out a pike if we are in our boats."

Leigh sighs "Yeah...ok so do we look for him or wait to see if he gets back, I am sure Log-a-Log is ok or we would of heard something wouldn't we?"

Berwin seems to think and grins "Yeah, we can take out a pike if there is more than one of us and in a boat, though let's hope we don't run into it"

Oswald says, "Well hopefully it will ignore logs floating along the top of the river, our boats are pretty sturdy as well even if it does attack it won't find us easy prey."

Leigh chuckles and nods "So let's go find our missing leader, it...doesn't look good to have a missing leader after all"

Berwin nods "Long as he is just missing and not worse."He starts to head to where a log boat is.

Oswald says, "Yeah let's go get the Log-a-Log," He follows after the others, "Hopefully he hasn't got too far downriver"

Leigh says, "It may be interesting to see what is down river, get to know the area better as the old camp was not to far but think up river not down, maybe down..but we are looking for Log a log, lets go" She gets a healers pouch, just in case.

Berwin says, "Far enough is the sea, that's what is down river we don't want to go that far"

Oswald asks, "Yeah we don't want to get that far but I doubt the Log-a-Log could have been swept that far away?"

Leigh asks, "Likely not, so what do we know so far? Much?"She adjusts her pack and goes to one of the boats "Clues be helpful Berwin"

Berwin says, "We did see the pike, briefly and then it disappeared, I do not know how far down they got, the shrew maid had a raft and that pike broke it apart."

Oswald asks, "Ok well," He glances at the log boats, "We should take the largest one we got, get all three of us in it, two rowing and someone on pike lookout? See if we can find them? Or... should we take two?"

Leigh says, "One should be fine and likely safer, lets go"

Berwin nods "Stick together is best and safer that way as I do not want to hear of more missing anyones, or I am gonna lose fur over it"

Leigh says, "If we stick together then no one else will be missing and we can keep an eye on shorelines as well as the river."

Berwin nods as a log boat is found and all 3 of them can likely get it into the river "Of course...that is a good plan"

Leigh sighs as they go along the river, so far so good it seems as its calm, calm is good as the shoreline and river is scanned off and on.

Berwin scans the shore and shakes his head, "Nothing...wait...that's where the bee hive is!" He points to a tall maple tree and smiles "So..we be close to where the pike was..."So far no pike he hopes to keep it that way.

Leigh says, "A clue, that's good Berwin...so we are not to far hopefully from finding them""

==Meanwhile Down the river not TOO far away ===

Vilfred was on sort of watch and still trying to figure out where he was, he left the shrew maid with the two otters and decided to explore a little way, just a small ways and who knows maybe he was closer to his camp than he thought.

Aqua woke to see the one shrew was gone and decided to look for him, she needed an herb along the river bank anyways so why not, soon she saw him and spoke "Hey...you look lost, do you know how close to your camp you are or is it by the river?"

Vilfred had heard her coming and turns around "I am not being, that lost and camp is by the river, close to the bridge and north of Ferravale which is clearly...not near here"

Aqua chuckles "Your lost..."She smiles though "Well Camp Willow is half a day upriver....lets see the bride is a couple hours from that, or maybe 3 hours but its still close to the otter camp, maybe us otters can help your shrews and you help us sometimes"

The otters noticed pretty quickly when two of their number didn't make it to dinner on the ship, especially when there was a young dibbun missing their mother. Being the cautious sort the Skipper delayed the journey home, had the ship anchored and went on ahead on foot with just a few guards to sneak through the woods and search in case of trouble. He silently signals for the others to stop when he hears voices in the distance before they quietly get closer until finally Gah recognizes one voice as Aqua and pops up out of a bush not too far away "There y'are! Where's Denzi?"

Vilfred backs up and stumbles onto his bottom and blinks "Well they seem good at hiding and surprising a beast yes?"

Aqua smiles "Skipper!" She is glad to see him, even if he did pop out of nowhere "And Den is with an injured shrew a little off that path"She points to some weeds and cattail plants"Probably asleep knowing him he sort of took two watches"

Gaheris has got pretty good at being sneaky around the woods since he started insisting the guards know how to hide so they wouldn't lead trouble home. He steps out with three others trailing behind him. He looks down to Vilfred apologetically "Sorry mate, wasn't lookin' t'sneak up on shrews" he frowns a bit at Aqua's words "Wha' 'appened?"

Vilfred stands and dusts off "It is being ok...I am Log-A-Log..the injured shrew is Lyra and there is a pike in the river, so may be best to not swim or have a raft.The one Lyra had broken thanks to de pike, but half a raft did get us to shore as the pike got..distracted"He frowns a little though at distracted.

Aqua frowns "Yeah the pike tries to get me and Deniz....Den punched it in the jaw and we went to shore, I tended to the shrew maid who has an injured footpaw..neither me or Deniz was hurt, shaken up a little but not hurt"

Gaheris looks faintly surprised "Log-a-Log? Good t'ere the shrews round 'ere are gettin' organised again" He frowns at the news of the pike and nods to a couple of the guards with him "Run back an' tell the others. I don't want folks swimmin' anymore. Might avoid some f'the smaller boats too. The ship should be alright t'get movin' again an' pick us up 'ere though" that dealt with he looks back to the pair "Well, y'vanish fer a day an' yer already off 'avin' an adventure. Yer friend Lyra goin' t'be alright?"

Vilfred says, "I am hoping so and the Guosim camp is by the river just north of Ferravale, close to de bride but don't be thinking can see it from there, its hidden.Maybe we work together to figure out how to be rid of this pike before ...someone else is hurt or..."He frowns, "Or worse""

Aqua frowns "Seeing a pike was not a good adventure, it was scary and yeah need to get rid of it sooner rather than later..."She does have one concern "How is Melody by the way, she is ok?"

Lyra had woken up but, yeah walking was out of the question and she limped, badly right now.

The otter Deniz decided to carry her, least til they got to a boat anyways"This is much better travel and your be safe at your home soon, I think"

Gaheris tilts his head at Vilfred "Y'moved then? Though I suppose yer old camp 'ad seen better days. Y'need any 'elp settlin' in we'll 'appily send it down the river" he quickly looks around as he hears someone else coming but puts two and two together when he sees Deniz with an injured shrew "'ey" he nods back to Vilfred "Fish is a fish. Far as I'm concerned y'catch it with a net" Aqua gets a chuckle though when she asks about Melody "She's fine, she'll be spoilt rotten if y'don't claim 'er back from the others soon though"

Vilfred nods, "It is a better camp yes and help would be good as we get things build and supplies gotten, once it is spring again I will try and find a place to make a small area of crops "

Aqua smiles, she will be glad to get back, she hmmms "We can maybe take them to camp willow for now and figure out a good plan to deal with the pike and when"

Lyra finally speaks "I don't want to see that...fish with teeth again, a fish that can eat you is not something I wish to see again unless its roasting on a fire in who w evers campsite"

Deniz chuckles "tHAT be funny hee hee...it tries to eat others and eats up maybe getting eaten itself, I like...LOVE..that plan"

Gaheris nods to Aqua's suggestion "Well if they'd like t'come they're welcome. Should only be a couple f'hours before the ship catches up t'us an' we can sail the rest f'the way. It's too big for any pike t'bother with" he wrinkles his snout at the idea of eating the pike "Pike taste 'orrible. I ain't against cookin' 'im mind but y'need a good cook t'get through tha'"

Vilfred says, "I be thinking the Guosim and Willow camp be good allies so yes be nice to see the otters camp"He chuckles at the cook the pike and shrugs, a small grin "Berwin maybe could, hmmms he may be liking a challenge"He frowns "Though my shrews are likely worried about me...""

Aqua nods and we can help tend to and better check on Lyra's injury and we can find and let the other shrews know where you are...unless they find you first,then they can visit too."

Lyra shrugs,"Just so the pike ends up....gone and dead somehow or other"

Gaheris shrugs a shoulder "The Guosim 'as always been old friends t'the camp, I don't see any reason not t'continue the tradition. We're practically experts at rebuildin' camps now though so y'ave plenty t'elp. Abbey's always got food t'spare if y'need it too"

Berwin meanwhile is on a log boat with Leigh and Oswald, not too far from where the group is,but not yet in sight.

Vilfred speaks with the Skipper and smiles"Is good to have friends yes.." And all are lucky as it seems the pike is sleeping, so far.

Aqua says, "First we get back to our ship and back to Camp Willow. Rest and planing is a good idea to me ''

Lyra nods, she just stays beside Deniz for now , her leg is bandaged up "A ship be good...and safe"

Gaheris takes a step away from the group to move out of the trees towards the river bank "It'll take 'em a little time t'run back t'the ship an' get it movin' again but once she's goin' they'll be 'ere t'pick us up soon enough an'y can come with us until we've figured out this pike problem...The camp 'ad one it caught an' kept years ago, might be able t'figure 'ow they did it but me money's still on nets. Might need some good strong ones t'keep it from breakin' out"

Vilfred is on the river bank , with otters it looks like maybe half a day downriver of Camp Willow and not too far from the Shrew Camp as the shrews and otters are fairly close to one another camp wise."We had a net...it broke though...."

Deniz just listens and checks on Aqua as he yawns, still tried "SO..ya doing ok still?"

Aqua nods to Deniz and smirks "Your the one who needs sleep, not me"Well least they are getting along now as before they sort of was not so much.

Lyra lets whom whomever is helping her , help as walking is more painful limping right now, seeing the river she frowns a little, looking at it briefly before relaxing a little.

Leigh is on the log boat "So how far down river do you think they went from where the hive was?"

Berwin frowns "If I knew that I would say so women..."He mutters, annoyed again it seems"I should be in camp making dinner, dinner will be late now"He just isn't sure whom to blame for that yet.

Oswald peers ahead, paddle dipping in and out of the water, "Hard to tell, the current can be a devil sometimes," he backs his oar and glances at Berwin, "We can have a cold dinner Berwin... let's just find our log-a-log, I only just found all you guys."

Gaheris stays stood on the river bank as he looks back with a small frown at Vilfred's words "Hm. We might 'ave somethin' stronger back 'ome or maybe we can come up with some stronger trap t'keep it still long enough t'kill it"

Vilfred nods as he looks at the edge of the water,"First seen the pike few days ago..then yesterday briefly..the first time it messed up a boat and the fishing net we had.Maybe Camp Willow is having better nets perhaps, even if pike is only caught for few moments"

Aqua listens quietly,she won't be going near the pike but will be around if a healer is needed. She looks briefly at the river, mainly for the otters ship not so much any others.

Berwin snorts, "What ever...." He hmms "Least it is....quiet...."He goes quiet in fact listening, "Voices?"

Leigh shakes her head"Voices?..voices mean we found someone at least come on!"

Deniz throws a pebble in the river and looks back to Aqua before shrugging "I would help but I know more on boats than nets really"

Oswald shifts his oar to the other side, water splashing as he tries to slow their advance and twitches his small ears, "Hmm.. possibly... hopefully they have seen the Log-a-Log."

Berwin is willing to go faster if needed and yeah only makes him lose an ore...well good thing they have a spare "why!

Gaheris is thoughtful and lightly taps his tail on the ground "We'll think f'somethin'. I got a vague idea but it ain't one I'd like t'come t'" He says before his ears twitch and he looks down the river "I 'ear somethin' comin'"

Vilfred ears perk some as he grins and chuckles as he goes to one of the trees and climbs it, and smiles as he comes back down, he grins at the otters and calls out "Hey Gousim!!!! " Well one better way to get attention he does the famous call to get their attention, it's not always used for danger, it can be used for calling out to his tribe too, depends on the tone and length..ect ect and all that.

Deniz blinks "Ummm...what's he like..doing?" Yeah he has a lot to learn of this mossflower place.

Aqua watches the LOg-A-LOg and hmms"Must be the shrews....my guess"She smiles at Deniz and gives him a playful shove into some mud and whistles.

Lyra blinks and looks to the river, she smiles "The shrews are here?" Hey it's a good thing, she will be glad to see them

Leigh shakes her head as she goes to slap Berwin, but he gets lucky as she looks around"That's...."She smiles "That's Log--A-LOG!"

Oswald lifts his head at the sound and grins at the others in relief before raising his voice and calling back with that famous cry of Log-a-Log-a-Log... indicating that they are coming for their chief.

Berwin frowns "Hey....."He then smiles and looks relieved."Ok..that way, to shore!" Yeah he can...make a new extra ore later, its fine.

Gaheris relaxes slightly. He recognizes it's a greeting at least and the response seemed friendly. He lets the Log-a-Log take over greeting the shrews and just raises a paw to greet them.

Vilfred smiles as he is glad as well, once they are on shore he steps over to greet them, he looks over at Lyra to make sure she is ok but the otter Deniz helps her over and backs up a little with a wave.

Aqua waves and looks to Skipper"Well its friends at least."Ok she was a little jumpy at first as to what was going on, time in the north still is in her mind so....still jumpy at times.

Lyra smiles at the help and nods to the other shrews with a small smile.

Leigh smiles and steps off the log boat, well once its on land and smiles, she looks to Lyra and frowns "Your hurt.." Well she can tend to any injuries with any, course does Log-A-log have any, he best hold still or she will force him to hold still, she is the main..well only healer for the shrews now.

Berwin smiles"He is ok...I was not worried...ok a little" He smiles "Log-A-Log"

Oswald pats Berwin on the shoulder then uses his oar to push their log boat a bit further out of the river. He then climbs forward, bells jingling on his dreadlocks to get ashore, "Log-a-Log..." He looks at the others and waves in greeting .

Gaheris gets a little paranoid as well but good when it's not a concern. He nods once to Aqua "The shrews find their kin. We'll 'ave ours soon enough" he starts scouting a little further up the river "Then maybe we can all get 'ome in one piece before the next trouble starts"

Vilfred smiles "I am glad to be found again...I found Camp Willow otters or rather they were finding me and Lyra."He does hold still and has no injuries."He looks at the Skipper "Seems no troubles today Skipper...which is good...we can make sure all get to camp ok."Whichever, if the otters want to go to theirs and the shrews thier's that's ok with him, they can plan when get the chance.

Aqua says, "Well Camp Willow is a little closer...if under stood right the shrews camp is maybe 2-3 hours up river from our own, but it's up to everyone.""

Lyra can't walk too well so she would need help to wherever right now.

Leigh steps back and nods, "Still good light enough for now...though the log boat fitting two more I ...don't know"

Berwin frowns and shrugs,maybe two would of been best but he was just thinking find Log-A-log not so much would there be room on the way back "Errrrrrr...."

Oswald says, "It's good to see ya Chief," he grins around, "And everyone else too, thanks fer 'elpin our chief out." he then glances at the boat with the others, "Ah.. mayhaps we should have brought two of them?""

Vilfred chuckles"It will be fine Oswald....maybe get on the large ship and get a ride..stay with de otters a night and then get home to our camp. Sides...us and Camp Willow shall work together to figure out how to rid river of pike"

Aqua nods, the ship of otters will soon catch up "Well it is a big enough ship since most of us otters went to the halloballo and are on our way back, we can tie the log boat to the ship even and Skipper and your Log-a-Log can figure out the pike issue and how to handle that, having a pike around is not a good thing"

Leigh nods and smiles "Staying with otters be fine with me one night, but then we have our own camp to get to" She sits on the sand beside Oswald for now.

Berwin shrugs "Is fine with me wherever go"

Deniz just stays close by, he yawns as he is tried and will likely get a nap in when he can.

Oswald says, "Whatever you decide chief," He stretches his arms up above his head, "We can always just walk back and one of us paddle the boat along."

Vilfred chuckles, "Walking is fine, maybe work up an appetite for dinner and meet up with the otters in a couple of days." Deniz even volunteers to walk with the shrews that will be on the land.

Aqua nods"Sounds good to us...."She looks at Lyra "Someone should have least her in a log boat though..."

Berwin nods "I can row the log boat...and Lyra is welcome to join me while you others go walking along...and I can get a good dinner be ready for you!"

Leigh chuckles a little and smiles at Oswald "Walking is good exercise Oswald, maybe we can work on fixing the broken net later after dinner .Or see if the otters have any stronger netting if there is a plan to try and trap the pike one day here soon"

Oswald asks, "Walking will do me fine, I've spent enough seasons walking, and yeah we can settle down and work on that net when we get back? Unless our otter friends have any suggestions on that front."

Vilfred smiles, he just has to get his surroundings in order and nods, ok camp is this way he knows now, to him seeing the land from both river and ..well land is a good idea.

Aqua smiles as the ship comes, her and the otters will get on that as she speaks "Maybe we can meet in a few days....think Skipper wants to just get home"And she surely wants on the boat to be with her newborn again, they were away a day yeah but that's a lot to her.She watches Deniz and decides he should be fine, or she hopes so anyways.

Berwin shrugs, he will make sure Lyra gets to the camp, and will have dinner ready for his fellow shrews once they get to the camp that is

Leigh smiles, she can look for some healing plants along the way, so exercise and some plants they may need later on.

Oswald says, "Well then looks like we are in for a walk, it'll be good to get to know the river banks and lay of the land."

Vilfred nods "Thats de plan my friend...know the lands and the river..I am sorry to have worried any beast, was not being planned to get so far down river at all, but I am glad to of been found and we now have otter friends and not just any otters...camp Willow otters and they know of the pike now which was also plan to tell them of that"

Leigh nods, she finds some healing herbs close by and can dry them later"Berwin was worried....and how injured is Lyra..is she gonna join us?"

Vilfred smiles "Yes....she is a fighter and is most welcome, the group grows I am so happy and happy to have Camp Willow as allies and maybe even Ferravale as...well yes I see them as allies as well."

Deniz hmmms "Ferravale, wot is that anyways heard it like...more than once?" He looks around, whoa a lot of trees and ..whoa he almost trips...vines.

Leigh nods, ok didn't answer the injured part but that's ok, they should get to the camp by a little after dark sets in.

Vilfred nods "Lyra has injured footpaw..broken footpaw on same and maybe broken arm, not sure..." Deniz just chats with them, sadly he doesn't know camp willows location but that's fine...he can find it later he is sire,he did tell the skipper he get the shrews home safe and he will.

Leigh nods "Thank you for the info Log-a-Log and I am sure she will make a good member, we need more fighters...after she heals of course."

The shrews get home to their camp and of course have a hot and good meal waiting....

The otters get back to Camp Willow for needed rest and likely also a good dinner and so much talk of events over the summer, but more importantly likely of what to do about the Pike problem

RIght After This

http://forum.rwmuck.org/viewtopic.php?id=1303

Who:

Vilfred- Log-A-Log

Berwin-Cook for the Guosim

Lyra- Guosim Shrew

Aqua-Camp Willow Healer

Deniz- Camp Willow Boat Maker/Repair Beast

Spoofs of a couple shrews and the Pike!

LOG:

The pike was in the River Moss...right now under the river unseen and targets its victim, the shrew with the wounded leg is gonna get grabbed, unless they move and fast.

Lyra frowns, she gasps as something touches her footpaws and she kicks widely at what ever it is and starts to panic a little now, well the calm clearly wasn't gonna last!

Vilfred notes the panic and keeps a good grip on the shrew maid, the other paw has a dagger he uses to stab down at the pike and goes to try and get to shore but the current is washing him down river and its hard to swim trying to make sure another gets to shore, "Hold...on....to me lass" He needs both paws for this.The dagger he could care less about as it clearly hit the pike and angered it!

Berwin spins around when a lot of splashing is heard "Ohhh...not goood...wait...tis away from them if ya get a clear shot fire at the bloody pike!"

Aqua is further down river, enjoying some swimming, finally and even speed ahead of the boats, she was enjoying the freedom of the water, the feel of the rush of the river, and didn't think to look for dangers, what danger is usually in the river?

Deniz had been enjoying the trip, trees of different kinds, he even jumped in to swim some and it was found he could swim fairly fast, it took a little getting use to as this is fresh water and the sea is salt water, but...he still was learning to love it!

Lyra frowns and holds onto him best she can, her injured footpaw hurts a lot more and she is near passing out again, her grip loosens some and she looks ready to pass out. a brief try and stay above water and she sinks.

The pike takes quick notice and splashes around wildly as the dagger is in its snout and its bleeding now, he dives into the river and tries to make one of those swirling whirl pools of water around the shrews, this pike is getting its dinner one way or another.

Vilfred gasps as Lyra sinks and dives back in, the pike causes some undertow as he holds his breath and fights this whirl pool and the fact the current goes down strream now, lets just add a summer storm forming for the heck of it! He wildly looks around scanning the waters while his lungs scream to breath, finds Lyra and quickly grabs her paw to go to the surface again and hopefully avoid the pike!

Berwin looks ready to rip his fur out or someone's fur out as he watches, a shrew fires off an arrow that gets the Pike's tail and there is a lot of splashing and then still water as panic comes to his eyes, he looks to the other two shrews and the water and just so much emotions here he can't speak but he will not, that's WILL NOT believe anyone just died.

Aqua surfaces and looks around, a frown ok she is a little further away than she thought from the ships and shrugs, "Well....didn't mean ta do...that"She frowns, least she left her infant daughter with one of the other otters.

Deniz is close by, not to worry! He goes to grin and try to trickle the otter maids footpaw from under the water.

Lyra meanwhile is saved, once again but is not showing any signs of waking, its hard to tell if she has signs of breathing but at least she isn't under the water now.

Vilfred quickly looks around and finds a bit of the floating raft and swims to it and gets the shrew maid aboard the ...what half a raft now? And then gets himself aboard and starts rubbing her back "Come on lass...come on now..don't say I failed"

Meanwhile the pike has...followed them, that half a raft is in serious danger of being bits of wood soon, then the pike notices a later target...the otters!

Berwin drops down and just sits on the shore, the other two shrews look at him and frown"So..now what?"

A deep breath and out, in and out as he stands up slowly" Ok....no one ..panic, Log-A-Log is simply just...missing till further notice"

Aqua tenses up and dives back under to...glare at Deniz and then her eyes widen as she sees something behind him and quickly points up and surfaces.

Deniz snorts and bubbles, he tilts his head like why up and just the panic she shows he frowns and surfaces "Like...wot tis wrong Aqua?"

Lyra coughs and gasps, she is ok but shivers now from blood loss and just from so much going on in one day from relaxing to ...well nightmare, its a good thing...well for them. that the pike is intrested in otters now, not so good for the otters!

The pike shows it self now, yep still here and seems to fancy going after otters now!

Vilfred looks around and starts to use a folating tree limb as a pattle to get to shore muttering to himself, once to shore he goes to get Lyra off the broken raft and lies down to catch his breath, ok Pikes are scary things, he frowns as he scans the area and has no clue where he is.He checks on Lyra.

Aqua starts to grab his arm and swim to shore "There is a Pike in the river!!"

Deniz frowns "Wots a blooming...."And then he is knocked sideways and his eyes widen, oh that's a pike as he screams and races to the shore as fast as he can, no way he is staying in the river with something that has teeth.

Berwin paces as he thinks, one shrew just frowns

"What do we do Berwin?"

The other nods "Yes...we need to get back, it is already dusk out"

Lyra is alive, but her foorpaw is badly injured and she might have a broken arm, its unclear but she is alive and breathing is semi norml as she coughs up more river water and shivers.

Vilfred frowns as he looks for some firewood and digs in his pouches on his belt and smiles, flint and stone..good. After some firewood is found he makes a small campfire, not too close to the river , or so close it will burn them but close enough it will dry them from the river water they are soaked in.

Aqua frowns and gasps as the pike barely misses her and looks back to Denziz "Come on...we need to get to shore...."She blinks, is that someone else in the river or wait on the shore as she gets the rest of the way to shore and doesn't bother shaking her self dry, she quickly goes to the shrews "Hey you two alright?"

The pike circles where the otter maid was and tries to lunge at the last otter in the river!

Deniz kicks at the pike and his eyes widen as he is blocked from going to shore, he backs up and as he is snapped at he full on punches the Pike in the face! He chuckles and quickly gets to shire and kisses the ground and smiles "I love de land....I do, I do....hee hee..I punched a pike!...I..."It seems to dawn on him just what he did "I..punched..."He faints out of shock, he was a blooming idiot, a lucky blooming idiot!

Berwin frowns "I know it is getting dark now"

"No ya dont"

"Yes he just said he did!"

"So what!"

The two shrews start to slap one another and roll around on the ground till Berwin threw pebbles at them and they stop, and frown looking at the ground.

Vilfred looks up and speaks "I am being ok...she is needing healer and quickly" He points to the shrew maid and frowns, he looks over at the river and the unknown shore "How far down river are we?"

Aqua checks Lyra as she speaks "Ummm....sea is like a day and a half....camp willow is a half a day up river...."She looks at Deniz and frowns, yeah he should be fine she has the shrew maid to tend to as she checks her over and frowns .

Deniz is just gonna be a little...passed out for now, he is fine:P

The pike meanwhile is one very peeved off pike as it goes close to the shore, then dives under the water looking for fish, for now.

Lyra footpaw is very badly hurt and likely broken, as is her right arm. She lost a fair amount of blood and is shivering a little as she is somewhat cold from being in the river.

Vilfred frowns "I need to get back to my shrews, they will worry..."He lets her tend to Lyra and his interest perks "Camp..willow? Would not happen to be otters of de camp would ya...need ta talk to the skipper as soon as possible"

Berwin is meanwhile a lot further up river and sighs as he looks to the two shrews and to the river and frowns "Come on we...we need ta get back ta camp and hope Log-A-LOg is ok.."Yep right now he is seen as missing but they cant go look for him in the dark, they can only hope...Berwin leads the other two shrews back to camp with news of the missing Log-a-lOG....WHAT FUN NEWS....NOT!

Deniz growns as he wakes and sits up, "I had this...odd dream, so real....I punched something called a pike in de jaw and almost died" He looks around "Why are we on the shore and not the boat?"

Lyra sadly wont wake up anytime too soon.

Aqua frowns "Get the campfire going better Deniz and ya didn't dream it, you...really punched a pike in the jaw like a moron, but hey you saved lives" She bandages the shrew maid's footpaw with what she has with her and sighs "And we were swimming a little too far ahead of the others and the boat.." She frowns and looks at the shrews "Yes I am Aqua and this is Denzi of Camp Willow and Skipper and the others are down river not too far away"She frowns as hopefully none of them are swimming right now or if they are hopefully the pike is not near them, but its in the river still she knows and dislikes it being there."Who...are you?"
.
Vilfred sits quietly and speaks "Log-A-Log...I went into water to save her and we get washed downstream in current after that storm passed by"

Deniz frowns "I ...did...oh yeah course firewood" He gets some and gets the campfire going "So...now what?"

Lyra wakes slightly but is still very much out of it but should be ok with some rest and she is not shivering now at least.

Aqua speaks "Of the Guosim?" She looks to the shrew maid "And she should recover....injury to the footpaw will needs kept an eye on and a broken foot, slight broken arm maybe..could of been a lot worse most likely, she can rest here...we all can and soon Skipper and the other otters will be past and we can for sure mention the Pike"

Vilfred nods as he stands and sighs "Yes very good, can wait suppose and then will need to get back to my shrews"

Deniz sits on a tree log thats fallen and yawns "They likely docked down river, heck we likely are missing now."

Aqua says, "Not much we can do about it now Denzi...or getting you back either Log-A-LOg..things will be ok come morning or...by lunch I hope, your see"

Vilfred sighs as he just decides to get comfortable and get some sleep, he stays beside Lyra, makes sure his raspier is on his belt and lets himself drift off to sleep after a few moments

Deniz sighs "So...we just wait huh?"

Aqua watchs the shrews and nods, she fornws "Yeah....wait"She hugs her feet to her chest as she sits there clearly worried about something.

Deniz seems unsure but sits beside her "You...ok Aqua? If your scared...ummm...well your not alone, I am here fer ya and I am a friend, right?"

Aqua smiles fainly "I suppose you are, just worried about Melody...that's what I named my daughter...I trust the others to keep an eye on her its just ...I worry and I hate worrying the others. wouldn't be surprised to see Skipper show up sometime soon, there is also the Pike to worry on and we have two Gousin shrews that are...well missing and one is their leader so yeah a lot on my mind but I am glad your here with me still, company is good"

Deniz smiles, he stays close "I can...be on watch, you get some sleep...kay?"

Aqua is unsure and then nods as she lays down to sleep, for some reason she feels safe, maybe stilll worried about some things but still her worry is a little less now.

Deniz gets a dry cloak and lays it over her and makes sure the fire is going well before sitting back down beside her, a glace at the sleeping shrews and he takes first watch, maybe even 2nd watch......

===Thought I write a little log from the past to help explain where the Guosim have been since that siege happen with Ormaz, the shrews sort appeared icly, oocly I know the player left but expressed someone could take over and I did ! SO here is a log on how and when Vilfred became Log-A-Log! ====

The Guosim had helped save the abbey, well one of many groups and the Guosim under Log-A-Log Aella was numbered like 40, this was before the siege as after it that number dropped to about 25, still a fair number to have for a group of fierce tiny shrews.

The shrews said any good byes and promised to visit, but once at camp ...well.

“De camp is ruined, wot do we do?”

“This is..bad ...tis burned down, trashed..all our supplies and dis almost winter.”

They had not worried too much, they had stayed to help the abbey a little, they had..that's BIG HAD food stored. But now ...and autumn was ending soon now, of course they could go to the abbey but Log-A-Log Aella knew it was not the best idea so she led them south, there was a place not far south of that church, they could stay there. They ended up staying with some woodlanders in Mossflower Village and come Spring they went south a little further and made a temporary camp, all was good.

Then

Summer was not kind, the season itself was hot as it was, winter left not too many supplies, there was a group of bandits that attacked in the dead of the night.

There was little fighting, more slaughter at first! 25 dropped to 15 in a matter of 5 minutes before Log-A-Log Aella shouted the alarm!

“LOGALOGALOGALOGALOGALOGALOG!!!!!!!LO.................”

15 shrews woke to fight….

15 shrews witnessed the death of LOg-A-Log Aella….

Now there is something about killing the Log-A-LOG

Yeah Bad idea

The bandits were 4 in total, they had gotten lucky till they woke Log-A-Log Aella…..one of the bandits was an archer and shot Log-A-Log Aella in the heart, she died instantly…

You would think...what 4 vermin ...of these 4 two were martens,one a rat and the archer a fox……..

But they still laughed as a lone shrew ran up to Aella..”Aella?...Nonnno...Aella…” His name was Vilfred, he sniffed and looked at the vermin….

Bloodwrath in his eyes as he kissed Aella forehead and closed her eyes slowly, took her blade ...their father's ...blade.

*****************
Now picture in your mind Vilfred doing this chant…..the rest of the shrews...walk to stand by his side and Vilfred, now Log-A-Log…..giving these vermin a look of ...yeah vermin may of likely wet themselves...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=u5X0WYs3XLY

*********************

In the matter of maybe a few seconds the archer was...yep dead, the rat was easy enough kill and that left the stoats fighting the remaining shrews.

One stoat sliced at Vilfred and cut his arm fairly badly, but the new Log-A-Log stabbed the stoat in the throat and the stoat was slain.

The other stoat did kill 4 more shrews, but that stoat soon was slain…

The vermin bandits were dead

But the shrews were now 11 in total ...counting Vilfred who dropped to his knees, dropped his father's blade and slipped into unconsciousness for a week before he woke to learn a couple died of injuries

8 shrews and 1 new Log-A-log

They had a moment of silence for the fallen, they then moved on back towards where Redwall Abbey was.

A brief problem with a wolverine.But the Wolverine was slain by the badger Xander…..

All was semi well…they decided to find a new camp, the old one would not work, neither would the one by the church…..

They found a new camp by the river

It was good

The Guosim attended the Summer Feast and enjoyed it very much!!

The Guosim are now slowly rebuilding in their new camp slightly north of the village of Ferravale

And Vilfred watched his Guosim from where he sat on a branch

“Log-A-Log ya gonna stay in de tress all night?”

Vilfred smirked and climbed down, “No me friend ...let's get back ta camp...yes?”

“Of course Log-A-Log…”

Log-a-Log Vildred smiled

The Guosim was back where they belonged

The Guosim were

Vilfred-Log-A-Log

Lyra-Future Guosm?..

Berwin-Cook of the Guosim

couple spoofed Guosim and the Pike!

LOG:

Vilfred was out and about as they had found some honey and lucky the bees seemed to be somewhat...calm, well almost, of these shrews getting their wild honey. Log-A-Log and a couple others were being very careful and had managed to get a little under half the honey from the hive before it was decided they likely should just..back off and leave, the honey and some honeycomb was safe in some jars and a small container they could close up.

Lyra was not with the other shrews, she was on the river on a small raft just sort of enjoying the river ride.

The river was good for relaxing, most of the time and today so far it has been fairly nice, calm and peaceful and maybe a few little jumping beetles on it, well that's gonna change....fast as some thing moves in the river and its not some simple fish or...anything that's friendly.
Vilfred slowly gets from the tree and grins "We have honey, is good to have and maybe get more later...or find way to get own place for bees"

Lyra is close to them, not too close just yet as she looks around and stays laid down as she yawns, maybe a nap is in order as she closes her eyes, her planed trip is uncertain pr maybe she is just literally going with the flow.

The shadow of the water is under that raft and suddenly disappears only to slam into the raft at full force and aims to get what ever is on the raft, off the raft.

Lyra is rudely awaken and gasps as she is suddenly in the river and managing to stay afloat as she treads water, "No...my stuff!" And her backpack sinks, her book....floats away as she goes to grab it and bits of raft are all over the place as she seems ok with swimming and looks to see what side of the river is closer so she can get to shore with at least her water logged book.

Vilfred is meanwhile chatting with a couple of his shrews as they walk back towards camp"It will be fine...bees could be valuable..sweet honey, bees wax...maybe even distract vermin away if needed."

Berwin nods "Honey is good for a lot of sweets and tea, good on toast and bread tooo....yes we need to remember where this hive is for when we need more honey"

The pike shows it's self now and starts to circle the shrew maid in the water ever..so...slowly.It also rips apart the backpack and seems it's now going to try and grab the shrew maid.

Lyra gasps and quickly starts to try and get to shore, a scream as she is blocked off going one way and loses her book now, fine with her the river can have the book as she yells "Some beast...help me!!"

Vilfred grins and then slows "Wot..was..that?" He then speeds down the path towards the river and comes to stop scaning it and frowns at what he sees.He seems to debate on what to do and sort of just dives in to the rescue among a gasp of one of the shrews with him as he sees just what is in the river.

Berwin blinks and eyes widen "Log-A-Log!" He sees the pike and tenses up a little .

The pike seems annoyed at missing and goes to try and grab the shrew from underneath.

Lyra sees the other shrews but temperately sinks under the water and kicks wildly at the Pike to barely break free of it and tries to swim away a bit but her foot paw is injured now, bleeding and her boot is, well its gone.She fails at staying above water and slowly sinks.

Vilfred frowns as he sees the pike and dives under the water to look for the shrew and after finding her goes to grab her by the collar and swim upwards to the surface, takes in a good couple breaths and coughs, scans the water and starts to head slowly to shore.He is scared but tries to not show it.

Berwin paces along the shore nervous as can be "This is bad..this is very very bad and like no one else is around, this could end serious bad"

Lyra is grabbed by the Log a Log and once at the surface of the water does cough a lot but also passes out, hopefully he is holding onto her.
The pike seems..annoyed it just lost a lunch but now it starts to rapidly circle the Log-A-Log and the shrew maid.

Vilfred looks at the pike and frowns as he keeps a good grip on Lyra and scans the shore, its close but the pike is spinning around them and it makes it a little hard to stay afloat. He is a great swimmer but he has to hold onto a unconscious fellow shrew and the two guards seem too worried to jump in and do something about the pike just yet.

Berwin frowns "Well someone do something I do not want a new Log-A-Log anytime soon!"

Lyra is still very much passed out and her footpaw is bleeding into the water, likely not the best thing with a pike in the water.

On the shore the shrews are nervous, can't say LOg-A--Log isn't himself but he manages to stay calm and tries to think as he looks to Lyra and the shore as the pike circles them, has to be a way out of this without it ending in pain or death of anyone, has to be.

The pike so far has just circled them and not tried to attack, least yet.

Lyra groans, waking a little but only about half as she gets a blury view and speaks weakly "W..what...who...where?"

Vilfred grins as he speaks, slight nervousness "Ello...I would say we be fine but would be lie right now, we need to get to sure" There is arrows but they risk hitting the Log-A-Log, seems things are worrysome for now.

Berwin says, "Ok ok ....we need to distract the pike or get help...wait no getting help could end badly and they might be fish food before then" He paces a little and is indeed worried "WOT do we do?"

The pike stops circleing and seems now to focus on trying to grab one of them.

Lyra focus better and frowns "Thar is...something in de water....and my footpaw...its hurting..bad"

Vilfred says, "I know dis...a pike and ..I am unsure of what to do yet...umm...pray?"

Berwin meanwhile is talking to the other two shrews with him "Ok...we do something like...now..ideas, any..think!"

WHO:

Vilfred- Log-A-Log

Oswald- Guosim Fighter

Keldorn-Visiting Novice of Redwall

Xander- Leader of Mossflower Defenders, warrior, and Tavern Owner

A Few Spoofed Shrews

LOG:

It had been a long night and very little sleep was gotten but the Log-A-Log finally got a little sleep and sat up on the cot he had as he went to move his shoulder some and tensed in pain, well least it wasn't broken but clearly still hurt like fire when moved.It had bruised a little more as bruising always seemed to show up hours later.

Keldorn is here as he walks over "You should rest still Log-A-Log, rest is good"

Vilfred glaces at Keldorn, oh yes he remembers why he is here now as he sighs "Don't need rest its just seriously bruised shoulder."He stays sat up on the cot .

Oswald wanders into camp from the direction of the river, shaking water out of his fur, dressed in just his trousers, coat folded over one arm, "Oh Log-a-Log afternoon... and to you..." he peers at Keldorn, noting his clothing, "Brother?"

Keldorn says, "Still rest is good, don't go doing too much right away."He is helping while here though he is unsure how long he will visit with them "And you have extra help now..."He smiles at Oswald, "Novice Keldorn, not Brother..yet"

Vilfred nods to Oswald, "There will be no fishing fer few days, not till that problem is gone and dealed with"

Oswald quriks his tail, "Wot problem? I was just swimming... needed to clean my fur after clearing out tha fire pit... wot problem we got?" he strokes his rapier hilt, "Something need sticking?" he nods at Keldorn, "Well a shrew as a novice... that's novel... welcome Novice!"

Keldorn says, "I am here a couple days I tagged along with my friend Sir Xander though I think he is staying longer and there is a pike in the river"

Vilfred nods "A large one, the smaller one was slain....it was around last night when a couple vermin tried to cause...trouble and steal a boat, the vermin are not a..issue now"He wont go into detail,then again he was a little unconscious and under the water at the time "A...boat was destroyed also...."He nods to Keldorn"And you my friend can stay longer as well, if your abbot is ok with it, you have the heart of a true Guosim as if not for you I would be at the bottom of the river moss..or worse, you jumped in to save me and I am glad of that"

Oswald claps Keldorn on the shoulder, "You saved the Log-A-Log! Well then you are brother in heart and name!" He digs around in his coat pockets and pulls out a square of orange cloth and profers it to Keldorn, "Wear it with honour, even if you are in the order of Redwall, any shrew that saves the Log-a-Log needs a GUOSIM bandanna to their name," he eyes Vilfred and grins, "as for a pike... I'm going to need my biggest fishing pole..."

Keldorn smiles and accepts the cloth "I was...not thinking of danger I was thinking save a fellow beast life." He hmmms "You would try and....catch a pike?"

Vilfred smiles, his shoulder is serious bruised and sore but he lives and it could of been way worse, "Catch the pike...maybe but need planing and may be wise to warn others of de pike "He smiles "We also have help to build and help move things around the camp...a badger is here, though not sure where he could..stay, will figure out"

Oswald exclaims, "Well Keldorn that sounds to me like you did tha right thing and that's what being in the GUOSIM is about!" he grins at the novice then frowns at his chief, "As fer tha pike... well we should plan a way to get it and a badger you say? Gosh... yeah we did he bring a tent? Not sure we have enough wood to build a hut that big."

Keldorn says, "I am sure sir Xander has supplies. He spoke of staying a season"

Vilfred says, "The abbot suggested he stay and help out...learn some stuff from me...from the camp even"He chuckles "I am gonna have someone learn him ta build while ere"

Oswald grins, "Sounds useful, and jolly nice of tha abbot to send us a badger ta help... we should get tha mess hall done in no time at all," He rubs his scruffy chin fur and looks toward the river, "Badger would be a help with a pike too... though I think he might sink a log boat."

Keldorn chuckles a little at the log boat "I know that marten and lizard sank a log boat last evening....but yes a pike is a serious matter but one would need to get it close to shore to fight it or...go in the water and that's not always safe."

Vilfred listens "That is why we get good plan, we deal with pike but also deal with fixing the camp and building what be needed, we have a couple small one room huts now and a storage building almost done.....still need the mess hall and infirm area"For now its a tent or just sitting around a fire to eat a meal. One tent keeps supplies they have so far dry.

Oswald runs a paw through his dreadlocks and frowns, "Well I am sure it'll all come together Log-a-Log and well Keldorn how long are you staying? And did you ever learn how to make a log boat?"

Keldorn shrugs "Two...maybe 3 days and I never have made a log boat. I use to be a knight...a fighter that went from place to place, a wanderer who could use the blade and I know healing, tracking as well.I know what plants are good and which are wise to avoid"

Vilfred says, "Your welcome longer if like, up to you just let a couple of my shrews escort you back to the abbey when its time"

Oswald grins and turns to look at the nearby trees, "Well Keldorn, if I remember the abbey right, Novices are meant to learn things? Want to help me lop down a useful tree and make a start hollowing it out?"

Keldorn smiles "I be honored to learn how to make a log boat and you are right I am to learn new skills and that is a most helpful skill indeed"

Vilfred says, "Maybe we can see if Novice Keldorm can stay a couple weeks prehaps...time to learn a little from us as well"

Oswald grins at Vilfred, "And it never hurts to have a member of the order around, so Keldorn did you bring a change of clothes? Because big bulky robes really aren't the best for hanging out with the GUOSIM."

Keldorn chuckles a little as he smiles, he is still getting use to the life of a novice"I did not to worry and I can change into something...better while I am here"

Vilfred smiles "Always good to help one learn yes?" He rubs his shoulder and moves it a little, it will be a few days till its not painful

Oswald asks, "Well then Keldorn," he looks the shrew up and down, "I have some trousers and shirts you can borrow, then we can go fell a likely tree," he looks back, "Unless you want us to work on something else Log-a-Log?"

Keldorn smiles as he goes to change "I have something my friend, not to worry" He comes back in a short sleeved tunic and some brown pants that are a little old but good for doing some work like this in, he also has normal shoes on as he smiles.He slips the headband on looking at it and smiles as he places it on as well.

Vilfred nods "Making a log boat would be good, one was totally trashed, one other will need some minor repairs, I trust the camp will be ok, we will be fine come the colder season, even with food and supplies, I am not too worried on it"

Oswald whilst Keldorn is changing Oswald collects a variety of tools for working with wood and an axe, "Sounds good Log-a-Log, want to come along and watch?" he hefts the axe onto one shoulder, "I saw a likely looking tree not too far from the river bank."
Keldorn stands ready as tools are gotten "I am ready to help my friends"

Vilfred nods as he stands, carefully "I will come along" He can walk, just not move the arm too much yet due to shoulder pain. A couple watch him in concern but he shoos them away, he is fine and can't just lay down the next couple days, walking around will help and he can watch as said.

Oswald leads the way across the camp and down near the river bank to nice looking elm tree, Oswald pats the trunk and looks up at it, "See this one will do, so Keldorn get the other end of this," He holds out the two shrew saw, "And help me get this thing down."

Keldorn nods, he scans the area and then goes to help, he might be a novice but he still has his warrior instincts in him yet,that was being very alert to things around him.

Vilfred follows them and watches "Is a good tree yes, should work good for a log boat" He sits down on an old stump, away from where the tree would fall of course.

Oswald smiles at Keldorn and puts his back into the saw, chattering away as he works, quite interested in knowing more about Keldorn and his life.

Keldorn is a hard worker and strong for a novice, then he was a warrior, a skilled knight and still has those skills,not that he plans to use them now that he is a novice.He smiles as he chats, "I decided to set aside my warrior ways and be a novice"

Vilfred watches, a noise is heard and he lays a paw on his rasiper and then relaxes, its just a bird looking for worms.

Keldorn smiles, he enjoys helping as the saw cuts threw more and more of the tree

Vilfred smiles "It is good to have some help around camp, any help is much good"

Xander didn't sleep well and decided a walk was good and then he went to try and mediate in the woods, but was still close to the campsite.

Vilfred was taking it easy, just watching as Keldorn and Oswald went to getting that tree down to make a log boat from, he glaces around the area quietly as he sat on the stump.

Oswald is working on cutting down a tree with Keldorn, they are nearly all the way through it and then with a creak the two shrews are moving back as the tree starts to fall, coming with a a thoom and rustle and crack of branches and leaves. "There we go!"

Xander snorts, mediation was not that great an idea, clearly not here as he sighs and gets up, ok...lets see what the noise is all about as he wanders that direction and ohs, ok falling tree and then the reason why as he leans against a tall oak and looks over at the shrews.

Keldorn chuckles as he smiles "Noe just clear limbs and we can start on what is needed my friend"

Vilfred grins and his ears detect...and slight movement seen as his rasiper is drawn and then he relaxes "Oh it is just you..hello again"

Oswald pats the tree and returns to the tool box and hands Keldorn another type of saw, "We'll take off all the branches, they'll make good firewood, then we need to cut this into two I reckon... we should have enough for two log boats."

Xander steps over and nods a hello "Hi" He says as he watches them "I was just finishing a walk and heard the tree fall so came over to see wot it was"

Keldorn nods as he goes to help get the branches off and smiles "Sir Xander...hello my friend"

Vilfred says, "Firewood is good for cooking and later on for warmth" He nods to the badger"Is also good advise to alert when walking up to friennds"

Oswald says, "Oh hello thar..." He looks up at the badger, "You are a big one! Well I hear you are here ta stay with us fer a bit? I'm oswald... might have met ya at tha Abbot's feast," he motions Xander, "Come on over we ar ebuilding log boats, want to lend a hand?"

Xander speaks "Xander Winters leader of the Mossflower Defenders and I ..own a tavern in Ferrvale as well" He walks over "A..season or that was suggested anyways by the abbot,,to learn some leadership stuff and guess better ways of leading a small group of beasts in Mossflower"

Keldorn smiles as he saws one limb of the tree off and lets Xander speak to them as he keeps busy.

Vilfred nods as he listens "And I said yes stay a season and help, and learn"

Oswald says, "Sounds good Xander," he leans on their new tree, "So grab a saw and help us get this ready, though I ain't sure we can build a log boat quite big enough for you Xander."

Xander nods "That's fine I..dislike boats, only go on them if I have to as not the best swimmer"

Keldorn looks over as he gets another limb off and hmmms, they will need to find a way to sand it after all the limbs are off or least sand down some of the rough ends a little.

Vilfred says, "Not all like boats or are good swimmers.I am a good swimmer...."He adds "When not knocked unconscious anyways"

Oswald hums happily as he saws off a branch, "Well Xander you will be missing out, sailing on tha river tis part of being a GUOSIM shrew!" he grins and moves onto the next branch, "Once we have the branches and roots off we can then sand and plane and start chopping out the interior."

Xander shrugs "Maybe a raft, maybe and the shrews can have the river I prefer the land"Yes he has been on a boat a couple times and had problems later on. He does look how he can help though with the log boat."I could..carry something if it was needed maybe"

Keldorn says, "Rafts are good sometimes and normal boats as well is good to have around."

Vilfred chuckles "Maybe we can teach ya to better swim, it is good leadership skill to have "

Oswald says, "Rafts are not bad... if you want to travel slowly!" he pats the tree, "I prefer a log boat and after seasons stuck ashore I am more then up for sailing"

Xander shrugs "There is a pike around, maybe not around all the time but its in the area, so...that needs taken care of somehow and...yeah big log boat would be...hard likely. Unless like..camp willow has a small boat..maybe, hmmms should tell them of the pike"

Keldorn nods "This is the first time I have helped to make a boat of any kind, it is most enjoyable to learn something new"

Vilfred nods "Yes remember the pike...we are making plans to figure it out as still need to get fish and make that smoker den for the fish and we lost some of the fish we got yesterday"

Oswald exclaims, "Well we can deal with the pike!" he grins at the badger, "We are the GUOSIM! We aren't going to let one pike stop us for long. Besides it will take at least a week to get this boat ready."

Xander says, "Well I plan to try and help with any building needed, I can carry anything heavy when needed, help get more supplies back here if needed"

Keldorn says, "Guosim have no fear, hee"

Oswald says, "Well thank you Xander, someone with your strength lending a hand is welcome indeed."

Xander smiles "I am...glad to help just guess tell me where and when"

Keldorn smiles, still working on limbs off the tree and looking it over as he smiles again and wipes some sweat off his brow"And it was a good idea to change into some normal outfit"

Oswald says, "Well for now Xander sawing branches off this tree," He pats it, "This will give us a good supply of fire wood and wood for the various building projects."

Vilfred nods"Oh I can keep ya busy somewhere, teach ya to build like help build the mess hall, we do have some boards already for that, will need more boards soon though."He hmmms "Think foremole is helping still with smoking den for smoking fish and we have place for that"

Xander nods, he can saw branches and limbs from a tree. He listens to Log-A-Log "I can learn to build, not sure if any of my...."He frowns slightly" Family knew much on woodwork, I had a grandfather that was a blacksmith though"

Keldorn says, "If foremole was asked to come I am sure he will my friend"

Vilfred smiles as he stands up now"I know and not too concern right now, we are good on fish and it can be smoked later and more fish can be caught later as well for we have good nets now"

Oswald says, "Well Xander sounds like you have a bunch of skills that will be useful either way, and life here in camp is definitely more rustic then living it up in the swank of the Abbey."

Xander says, "Can't say ever lived in the woods...mainly around Ferravale and the abbey.....one time in Halyard area but that was not a good time in my life"

Keldorn listens as he works on the branches and lays them aside"You can also help sit these branches to the side."

Vilfred says, "He can help carry the large log to the camp, we can hollow it out mostly thar and can find good place for the firewood pile, we have a small one now at camp of firewood"

Oswald says, "I prefer it, tha woods and river is were shrews belong," he grins, "But yeah Xander once we get the root structure off we can roll this back to camp."

Xander asks, "I can maybe just carry it"He smiles "Can't be too heavy right?"

Keldorn chuckles as he smooths out where a branch was and gets another off"Only a bagder would say something like that..could still be somewhat heavy though , then one never knows"

Vilfred says, "I love the river, the rusg of water and the woods its calm and peaceful....well most of de time it is calm"

Oswald exclaims, "Hah! Not heavy he says, maybe for your Xander, but it'd take about four of us to drag this back to camp normally."

Xander smiles "As I said I will carry it when your ready"He laughs a small bit, he is in a good mood
.
Keldorn smiles, he wipes more sweat off his face, it is still trieing work to get branches off, even with help, the help just speeds it up.

Vilfred grins "Having a badger around will be great indeed for us"He chuckles "Can't wait to get a couple of my shrews to teach you the fine art of building something."

Oswald says, "Well thanks Xander, that'll save us all a hard job," he grins, "So let's head on back with this then.. and yeah we're gonna have ya fitting in with us in no time!"

Xander tilts his head "Learn to..build?" Ok that be interesting he supposes and nods.One last branch is off and he motions to stand back as he goes to lift the large log and smiles "So...back ta camp then?"

Keldorn steps back and nods "Sounds like a good plan, get this to camp and maybe see what there is fer dinner"

Vilfred chuckles and frowns, ok laughing upsets shoulder if he does it too much right now as he nods "Yes back to camp.."He rubs the shoulder and tenses up a little,maybe laying down again be good and something for pain.

Oswald exclaims, "Aye we can work on it there, it'll be safer and food is always welcome! You didn't bring any of that October ale with you did you Xander?"

Xander carries the log as he speaks "I brough a few things...a tent, so no worries on a place to sleep..pillow and blanket....some tea, some rice cakes and...might have a small bottle of the ale, enough to share with one...maybe two meals if done right" He figured other supplies he have at camp or maybe get some for the shrews at the market place or even ferrravale.

Keldorn follows the badger and goes to Log-A-Log "Are you ok? I do know how to make willowbark tea, tis good for pains and such if needed."

Vilfred smiles "Thank you friend, it is not as painful as it was my shoulder is just badly bruised and a little swolen, it could of been much much worse after all"

Oswald gives his chief a frown as he sees him wincing but he leaves him to the Novice for now as he follows after Xander carrying the tool box, "Sounds like you came prepared Xander, so first thing we really need to do with this log is split it in two, then we can be working on two log boats."

Xander nods as once they are at camp he finds a clear place to sit the log gently down and sits down himself beside it" Guess will get use to..the outdoors."

Keldorn nods, he can do that as he smiles"This camp is nice."

Vilfred sits down slowly and smiles."It is yes, very good and still close enough to places....we should make our famous shrew bread tonight, it would go well with fish and maybe some turnips."

Oswald says, "Oooh shrew bread is good," he leans on the log and looks out across the camp with a grin, "i am glad to be back here with you all.""

Xander says, "Sounds interesting...I know how to cook some things, and learned to make pottery...hmmms really only other good skill I have is guess.."He frowns "Well..warrior skills...suppose"

Keldorn nods "Maybe your learn a new skill while here and I may see if I can stay a little while, maybe not a season...no but a couple weeks maybe"

Vilfred says, "We can ask the abbot"He gets some of the willowbark tea once its made and sips it, he smiles as it should start helping soon"Berwin is our main cook and he is good with the skill and does well....then de camp only has like...9 shrews...10 if cound me, but maybe we will gain some others, if not is still ok""

Oswald smirks, "Berwin is good, he's always fun fer a grumble and a good argument... and he knows how to handle a log boat too. You'll like him Xander."

Xander says, "I am sure I will meet all the shrews here" He allows himself to relax and a yawn"I get along with....well most beasts"

Keldorn smiles as he excuses himself, he will likely be back in time for dinner.

Vilfred says, "I will make sure you meet all my shrews...Berwin is main cook as well, we mainly have fighters..warriors....and a couple healers here, also good ta have around"

Oswald says, "Aye and we are pretty good at boats too, now if you will excuse me I want to make a start on sawing this trunk in half and I will see you all later,"

Xander nods as he looks around the camp, he will need to get use to the camp, least for now

Vilfred smiles, his shoulder is starting to feel better as he grins at the badger"Your get use ta us....and likely deal with arguing as well"

Xander frowns "Arguing? I hope not too much, I can get grumpy sometimes its...not good"

Vilfred says, "Arguing is ok at times, now we have some rest and then...dinner!"

Soooo..The pike is in the river! There was a dibbun pike but it was slain, the large pike is still in the river and has already torn apart a shrew log boat! A couple vermins looking to cause trouble at the shrew camp became fish food when the log boat they tried to steal was turned over by the pike.

The Log-A-Log was knocked out and fell into the river but he was saved and recovering in the infirm with just a very bruised shoulder.

Here is the LOG!

LOG:

It was a fair day, not to hot as it was slowly becoming autumn weather and so a couple shrews were out fixing a log boat and chatting away, a joke of some sort as they chuckle and laugh, well least they are not arguing like they could do.The river is fairly calm, there is a light breeze even and its just after lunch.

Little did the shrews know that there were other beasts in the woods, not too far away. They pause in a small clearing, resting against the trees and gasping for breath. "Well... that could have gone better."

The blue scaled lizard glares daggers at his friend. "Gone better? You nearly got usss killed!"

"Hey," The marten summons enough breath to rant, "I was the one who got us free! If not for me you would be luggage and I would be made into a hat by now!" Clearly a beast of the feast, well fed and swollen she still stands a head taller than her smaller reptile counterpart.

"They may just yet! We havn't escaped yet!"

"Yet. Once we get across the river, we will be in the clear." The marten thief narrows her eyes to the shoreline. "There, see? The universe provides. We take their boat, we are home free..."

With the sound of foot paws on their heels, the two bandits decide to toss discretion to the wind. They materialize from the bushes, making their way casually to the shrews.

"Top of the morning!" The fat marten waves her paw at them while Zeek hides a dagger behind his back.

The two shrews look at the lizard and marten and then each other, one decides to speak "Wha ya want?" They are clearly alert as one never knows if a beast is friend or foe. The other shrew just frowns, no one else is here and Log-A-Log is on a bit of a fishing trip with a small group of the shrews, so it seems it is just them, the camp is close but very well hidden from view is the path to the shrew camp.

"A small castle and a hot bath, but don't we all?" The marten laughs, "But for right now I will settle on your good will and generosity to take us across the river." The marten claps her paws together, "And in return Zeek here won't kill your friend, won't you Zeek?"

The lizard lunges forward, paw stretched out to grab one shrew by the scruff of his neck, while the dagger goes for his throat...

Not their best plan but, beggars can't be choosers with an angry mob right behind them...

The shrews are not about to give anyone a boat and for sure not now when one shrew is grabbed and right away gets out a small dagger to stab the lizard with, weather the dagger stabs anyone before the dagger is laid at his throat is uncertain. The other shrew backs up a litter and looks ready to call on some help.

Vilfred is nearby with another couple shrews in his log boat, "I say this was most successful trip indeed my friends!"

Xander is on his way to the camp but he is not close enough to know there is trouble, paws in his pockets as he walks along "And he said stay a season...learn from Log a Log, and yes I..told a couple where I would be just....debating on weather its a good plan or not and if it will even help"

Keldorn pats the badger on the arm "Faith my dear friend, things may look like they will not work out at first but then they do, stay positive and not down."

Zeek isn't paid enough to get stabbed, unfortunately. He isn't even paid at all! So when his would-be shrew hostage tries to fight back, he just proceeds with slaughtering him. He slashes the shrew across the neck before tossing him into the river.

"Blast it Zeek! I told you not to kill him!" The marten yells. She points to the remaining shrew, "You, the one with the silly face. You want to join your friend? If not, then you are going to take us across the river..."

The Shrew that is stabbed and has their throat slit struggles a moment and then any sign of live fades quickly from their eyes.They are...dead.

The other shrew gasps "Ash!" That's clearly the now very dead shrew's name as the friend backs up and frowns, then glares daggers at the vermin, and cups their paws to their mouth!

"LOGALOGALOGALOGALOGALOGALOGALOG!!" Of course he backs away from the log boat, it could easily be grabbed but the call was...given! Yeah there could be trouble.

Xander nods and frowns"What was...that?" He heard a scream, a call of some sort and has his blade, ok he starts jogging now in case some beast is in trouble.

Keldorn blinks, now he has read some stuff on Mossflower history and he knows "Sounded like Log a something...wait it's shrew like call of battle."He follows his friend, not that he is a fighter any more but he could maybe do, well something to help.

"There see? Now we have shrews after us." The marten rolls her eyes, she goes to grab the remaining shrew, trying to push the beast into the boat before pushing it towards the sea into the river.

"Get the boat out to the river. I will hold them off." The lizard takes a fighting stance, eyeing the badger out of all the other opponents. It won't be easy, but he only needs to stall for-

Zeek glances over his shoulder to see the boat already in the river and sailing away from him. "B-bushtail! You coward!"

The marten slumps into the boat, paws folded behind her head. The heavy beast more than envelops the boat, and it visibly dips on her end. "Sorry buddy! Only room for two on the boat. You understand, right?"

"BUSHTAIL!" Zeek begins cursing in multiple languages. He takes one look at the angry horde of shrews, the badger, and the angry woodlander beasts pouring out of the woods that were chasing them earlier. He whimpers before deciding to take a crash course in swimming.

He dives into the river...

Vilfred hear the call and right away "Change of the plans!" He has 2 other shrews with him in his Log boat and yep looks like likely the rest or most of the rest is on the shore to see what is happening now

A LOT happens at once, Ash, if she wasn't dead before is dead now as a shape grabs them and they sink further into the river leaving blood..the shape makes a mess and seems to not be done as it sees Zeek and goes to swim up to them and grab them by the tail to make them lunch!

Its soon clear, it's a large, very LARGE pike! A lot of sharp teeth and it has a smaller friend who seems to like shrew as any hope of burying Ash is now gone!This is not good news at all! The shrews on the land aim longbows with arrows and then fire, about 3 shrews on land with their longbows aimed at Bushtail, the one shrew captive eeps"HEY!" Yeah don't hit a fellow shrew.

Xander scoots to a stop and narrows his eyes as he scans the area, he sees the vermin and snorts, blade out but the vermin are in the water, great now what.

Keldorn pants as he makes it to the area and frowns , he then blinks wait was that"There is something in the water!!"

Zeek let's out a terrified shriek. He fails his arms in the air, calling for Bushtail to save him. The marten twists in her seat, "Zeek!" She then yelps as an arrow hits the boat beside her. In her haste, she topples over the boat, and begins to dog paddle to the other shore line.

Zeek is... less fortunate. He manages one more gasp of air as he is dragged under, his beautiful tail threatened to be ripped clean off...

The smaller Pike decides lizards are delicious and grabs it from the larger Pike, poor Zeek, meanwhile in its anger it goes after the marten. The shrew that was on the log boat screams and starts swimming to shore as fast as they can manage while these pikes are...well distracted!The shrews on shore fire more arrows, one lands in the large pike's head.

Vilfred stands up carefully on his boat and balances himself as he scans the area, the other two shrews watch nervous as the Pikes are around, he frowns and has a small raspier in paw if the pike gets close or if the marten gets too close,he looks to the shore and his shrews on the boat "Try to get to shore now"

Xander frowns, he keeps the blade out as he watches the marten, if needed he can fight that but he frowns at the water "What..is that?" Oh yeah he notices the pike or least the larger one he does.

Keldorn says, "A pike, they are very dangerous creatures though one may be a lot younger." A dibbun pike maybe, who knows, "The water is not safe, my friend, try me"

Zeek opens his muzzle to scream, but only takes in more water. Part of his tail is left behind as he finds his fate in the jaws of the smaller pike. His movements become less frantic as darkness begins to envelop his vision.

He never comes up for air...

Bushtail hardly cares at this point. She is more concerned with surviving herself and not getting eaten by the larger pike! The barrage of arrows likely saved her life, if they did anything at all to distract the pike. She makes it to sour, cold, waterlogged, and exhausted. She nearly collapses until an arrow lands next to her head. Fear drives her onward and she picks herself up, half running, half dragging her swollen carcass through the woods. Her trail is easy to follow and the marten has not put much distance between herself and any pursuers who have made it across the river...

Vilfred narrows his eyes "Someone after the maten!" He says, he can care less whom, the two pikes seem to work together and ram into the only boat in the river now,..LOG-a-LOG'S! He gasps as the boat is clearly torn in two by the large deadly pike, a volley of arrows land in the smaller pike as it sinks to the bottom of the river and to its death, meanwhile the larger one circles the two shrews and Log-A-Log who stabs it, the Pike circles them and goes to dive and its tail slams into Log-A-Log and he is knocked out cold and sinks under the river...ummm not good!

"LOg-a-LOg!" Scream one of the two shrews, they both gasp at the pike and gulp,now very afraid.

Xander narrows his eyes as he sees the marten and grips his blade, he looks to the river and the marten, does he go after her or let the shrews get her.

Keldorn frowns and watches, he then dives into the river to go after Log-a-Log without thinking much on weather its a good plan or not, a fellow shrew is gonna drown if he doesn't do anything.He does have a craving knife if needed, even if he is a novice he will stab a pike for defense.

Said marten pauses to catch her breath, throwing herself against a tree for support. Zeek always told Brushtail that her diet would be the death of her one day. She just never imagined it would be like this! The gluttonous thief struggles to quell her beating heart, her legs are on fire and her vision is going in and out. "Maybe... maybe we shouldn't have robbed that baker on the way out of town, right Zeek?" She laughs, glancing over her shoulder the laughter fades. "Oh..." This can't be the end! She won't let it be the end!

Getting her third wind, or forth, she starts to push herself forward at a brisk lumbering gait...

The large pike is clearly still alive as it circles the two shrews making in hard to swim away, one panics "Log -a-Log!!" And angry shrews on the shore, yeah the badger may not get to her in time, the marten has like 6 angry shews after them now with rapiers and arrows fired and they are fast shrews too!"Death to the vermin!!!"

Vilfred meanwhile sinks, but he is grabbed by his fellow shrew Keldorn and it remains to be seen how he is once back to shore. The large pike keeps the two shrews in the water by circling them "You stab it moron....no you do it....you!" What a time to argue.

Xander snorts and turns as he frowns "Keldorn?" He looks to the water and frowns more"No no no no"

Keldorn has a hold of Vilfred and gasps as he resurfaces and gets to the shore, he rubs the Log-A-Log's back and coughs a little himself as he looks to the water and frowns, "Oh...not good...."

The marten lets out a shrill scream as she takes the proverbial arrow to the knee. She drops to the ground, tears in her eyes before crawling forward until she can hobble along again. IF she can just get somewhere to hide, then... then she... and then...

She sighs. It's over.

Throwing her back against a tree she holds up both paws. "STOP!" She cries, "For the love of all that is holy, stop!" She says to the advancing shrews, "I'm just as much a victim in this as the other shrews! The lizard made me do it! He was... he was threatening me life! Please! Spare me and... and I can make it worth your while!" The fat bellied beast begins to breath harder as nervousness takes over, "I know where other bandits are! Let me live and you can wipe out whole bandit settlements! Just... just hear me out..."

The shrews are....not pleased as this vermin caused the death of a fellow shrew and for all they know their Log-a-Log is dead and that means revenge time,they circle her weapons drawn.Meanwhile it does seem Log-a-Log is..gone, but then a gasp and coughing, water being thrown up and he is shivering.A groan and he passes out.The pike meanwhile dives and the two shrews act fast to get to land, the pike snaps at one as they barely make it and look at the floating remains of a log boat and..the net of fish, well the pike can feast on some fish maybe or some of the fish anyways as maybe half the fish is on shore,the other half are back in the water.The two are shaken up but ok and quickly go to Log-A-Logs side worried and concern"Log-A-Log?"

Xander sighs in relief as he goes to check on the other shrews and sees Bushtail, he takes a deep breath"Who are you and why are you here, who did you kill?" A shrews whispers to him and he frowns,ok no clue who Ash is but it was a shrew as he looks at the marten"I should...slay you BUT.......that's not my decision, that's the Guosim 's decision"

Keldorn coughs and checks on Log-a-Log as he looks at the others, he shivers a little too "He..lives...."He pants and catches his breath, he looks for any wounds as he does know healer skills and is learning more in fact.He looks at the calmer water and speaks "Anyone...else need a healer?"

"YES! The Guosim's decision! You can't kill me without asking me to see your leader!" The pine marten nearly shrieks. "I'm just an innocent beast! I didn't do anything wrong! The lizard forced me into it!" Yes, she thinks, this can work. She can sweet talk any beast. She just needs to-

Out of the corner of her eye, Bushtail catches sight of a large group of woodlanders coming out of the forest to help the shrews. Well, it won't be long until they find out that she and the lizard stole from that village and have a date with a noose.

The marten briefly wonders which is worse, death by shrew or the gallows.

Vilfred is...yeah unconscious but no wounds, he was knocked out though..meanwhile the shrews just keep Bushtail surrounded the only ones who know Log-a-Log is ok is the two at camp "Yeah..." Says one "And he may be dead.,....cause of ya vermin scum.."A couple shrews look at the other woodlanders and to the marten "They lookin' fer ya...scumfur?"

Xander glares but steps back and takes a few calming breaths in and out, in and out as he grips the blade making his knuckles white in fact as he fights the urge to slice off a martens head, he stays where he is, calm?...Not really, he does glance at whomever else seems to know the marten some reason and snorts.

Keldorn looks to the woods and the other shrews, he can make sure they are ok and help them get Log-A-Log to where he can warm up by the campfire he helps them start,"Blanket....a cloth soaked in rosewater and something for some bruises...go"

The marten only grows more agitated, "Fine!" She shouts, "I'm a thief. I stole from a village up north of here. I'll give you ten guesses as to what." The beast slaps her midriff with both paws before pointing accusingly to the river, "Zeek was the murder happy idiot. He killed the shrew, not me! And that... other guard... I'm just a thief! But I know where half the bandits in Mossflower make camp and sell their loot. Let me live and you can kill a dozen, hundreds of other bandits but only if I'm alive!" Brushtail starts to whimper, her wounded leg is on fire!

A sort of 2nd in command shrew points his raspier at the marten"Shut up before let badger rip you apart..."He looks to the other woodlanders "You want to kill marten?" The shrews still have her very much surrounded,they are usually not ones to take a captive.

Vilfred meanwhile groans a little but stays unconscious, he should be ok but will take a few days to recover and that log boat of his is clearly ruined and likely washed down stream by now.

Xander eyes flash, yeah permission to kill something would be nice right now, but he tries to calm himself and paces back and forth, he just wanted a walk and a calm day and gets this, wonderful...

Keldorn looks at the woods uncertain as to what is going on and stays at the shrew campsite for now .

A mouse steps out of the crowd quickly gathered around the poor marten. "Ahem," He coughs into a paw, "Well, we did go through the trouble of constructing a gallows for those two scallywags. So... yes. They are not long for this world either way... but, we don't want trouble with the shrews either..."

Bushtail is pulling at her ears by now, "You lot of fools! Listen to me! Let me go and you will be able to hang a dozen more of me! Isn't that what you shrews do, ya happy murderin' lot of little monsters?" She begins to laugh hysterically now. Why isn't her silvertongue working? Why did this have to happen? Life is so unfair! She just wanted to rob people of their belongings! She doesn't deserve to pay for her crimes! Why can't they see that? "It... it can't end like this. Not to these dolts. I... I'm supposed to live out me days in comfort on fine wine and other beasts gold... I can't die to... to shrews..." Oh blast, this really is the end!

"Wait! Don't... don't do it!"

The shrews get into a little huddle and talk, more like argue and after a moment they look at the marten "I say she dies....let de go up after her take her away..if she is seen again..she is greeted with painful death"That's if death doesn't find her first.

Xander snorts as he sits by a tree and stabs the ground with his blade, grumbness slowly fading, unless something ticks him off again.

Keldorn stands and goes to check on his friend, with a be right back my friends, to the shrews at camp

The marten closes her eyes and gulps as they decide her fate. Any moment now and a blade is going to separate her head from her shoulders, or worse. She's heard horror stories about vermin finding their fate at the paws of shrews.

But what's this? They are going to turn her over to the woodlanders? Hope flickers in her heart. Yes, this can work. She escaped from the fools before, she can do it again. "Awww, looks like there won't be a vermin murdin' party after all." She chuckles as the mice grabbed her by the arms, "Why the long faces, mates? Sad because you lost your prey? Don't you worry, I'll be back. Just you wait. I'll get out of this yet."

"Tell it to the noose miss!" A mouse shoves the beast along...

The shrews step back and watch her, yeah let these others handle her they have a LOg-A-Log to tend to as they start to head back to their camp.

Keldorn steps into the woods and steps aside of the shrews and blinks as he walks further towards his friend and the group that has the marten "Oh so...the marten was caught I see."

The beast rolls her eyes, "Caught? I surrendered! There is no way I would be caught by some dimwitt shrews and their pet stripedog. Or are you one of those weird beasts raised by wild shrews? Oh! I'm sorry, did they tell you that you were just an unusually tall shrew all this time with half the brain of a walnut?"

The woodlanders grab the marten more firmly now, half dragging half leading her away. She is filled with anger at the lost of her friend, the euphoria at not being immediately killed, and a lot of pain. Bushtail knows that she should just shut her trap but she just can't help herself, not if she really is being led away to the gallows. But angry beasts are prone to making mistakes. If she can just get them to slip up somewhere between here and the village...
The shrews, or s couple turn and stare at her , mutter something and just turn back around.The Log-a-Log is still a bit unconscious as the worried shrews gather around him.Meanwhile in the river, it may look calm but that pike is still there quietly swimming towards the surface as it seems to peek out of the water a little and dives again quietly. The other pike is dead and the large pike is a bit...moody, why? Oh maybe the other one was its dibbun, well any beast can have family after all..this pike seeks more meat..the lizard and shrew seem not enough for it, it wants something else.

Keldorn frowns as he watches the marten dragged away "Mayhaps you should talk less and be quiet more miss...it is wise advice yes?"

Xander eyes flash as he growls at the marten and walks closer "Shut..up...now"His eyes flash slightly as he talks, he glances at Keldorn"Keldorn be careful...please"He is worried ok, he has lost too many lately.He lost his daughter, his old friend and his uncle died recently...he can't risk losing another friend.

"Like HECK I'm going to shut up!" Be it pain or stress, the marten very obviously does not shut up. "You think I'm just going to march up back to the village and let you lot hang me quietly?! You all got Zeek killed! You killed Zee-" One of the mice pull on the marten's ear to get her to quiet down. It... it doesn't work, "I hope your shrew buddy tasted just as good as my poor lizard! You rotten lot of do gooder scoundrels!"

Keldorn frowns as he backs up, this may be a good idea to just stay clear of the marten, just in case.

Xander eyes flash and he storms over to the marten and goes to grab her by the throat, he takes a deep breath and just throws her into the river moss and drops down to his knees to take deep calming breaths.

AND..The pike is clearly there, waiting for possible free dinner.The couple shrews still here look clearly ready and will fire arrows at the marten to make sure she doesn't run or swim far, that's if arrows are needed.

The marten squeaks as the badger grabs her.

Perhaps... she pushed them all a little too far?

She screams bloody murder as she sails through the air, landing with a splash.

Just maybe...

"Help! Help!" The marten cries, flailing her arms in the water and her wounded leg.

A shadow passes around her and her eyes widen, "No, NO, NO- ack!" There is a sudden, sharp pain as the pike snaps its jaws into her waist, sending dozens of rows of sharp teeth deep into her fat gut. She manages a final scream as the pike drags her under to a grizzly fate...

The shrews did fire off arrows, then just..stared as the Pike disappears with the marten and a lot of red foams the river as the marten clearly dies, one shrew looks at the woodlanders and shrugs "She dead...hey better fate for killing a Guosim shrew "The shrews head back to their camp now.

Keldorn blinks, he did not need to see that as he walks over to Xander "Sir..Xander? We should get to the camp.....are you...ok sir?"

Xander nods as he stands "I..is Log-A-Log ok?"He asks and looks at the woodlanders that was after Bushtail and to the path to go to the camp.

The woodlanders look... horrified to say the least. Their prisoner was just chucked into a river by a badger. Any hope of recovering her alive is lost as little bits and bobs of marten fur drift to the surface of the water. "What a horrible way to die..." The mouse leader takes off his hat for a moment of silence.

"Well, we had a post hanging feast planned, no reason not to waste it. Justice is what justice does... even if it's by ... pike. Come on lads, time to head home." The mouse nods his heads to the shrews and the crowd disperses one by one.

Vilfred is back at camp in the infirm and after a couple hours wakes up, his shoulder is sore when the pike slammed into him, lucky it's not broken but bruised badly ,he groans "Aye......worse..day...ever" His cot is quickly surrounded and shrews ask if he is ok, oh thank the seasons he is alive.

Keldorn shoos them away "He needs rest go go..shoo." He looks back to Vilfred and smiles "Good to see you awake Log A-A-Log I am Novice Keldorn..former knight and now healer and novice of Redwall Abbey."

Xander steps over and smiles"Log-a-LOG your ok...I am glad and.,...was worried.A pike was in the river and there was some..issue with a marten but she..died."He looks at Keldorn and back to the Log-a-Log.."Keldorn dived into the river and got you out when you were knocked unconscious he...saved your life" He can explain here later why he is here, besides making sure the shrew is ok.

Vilfred listens "Wot?" He remembers a flash of something in the water and panicking and just a lot of battle noise.A healer steps over and checks him as he is updated "Ash is....dead sir but his death avenged..there was a smaller pike but it was slain, the larger one is still..out there, it destroyed your log boat...one guard has an injured arm and...your shoulder is bruised."The Log-A-Log frowns as he listens, "And the marten is dead, as is the lizard who killed...ash" Other details can be later.

Keldorn nods"Yes is...it is true..a pike is in the river moss right now, it almost killed a couple other shrews but they escaped to shore...and I was not thinking when I dove into the water of the pike, I was thinking to save a life."

Xander nods"I am glad your ok Log-a-log..I was on the way to your camp for another reason, but I can...tell you later, you need rest"

Vilfred aves a paw "Rest...can wait...owwwwww"He moves and it hurts as he sighs "You are welcome here....and can stay a couple days if want, perhaps...help around camp"

Keldorn goes on outside the infirmary tent and will check on things later,he only plans to stay a few days himself.

Xander speaks "I can help and it would be more than a couple days...if allowed of..course"He is quiet then speaks "Abbot Benar suggested I ...stay a season, help you out and..and learn some leadership skills from you. I can help wherever needed, move heavy things around, get supplies to camp, I can..even help build some of your buildings just need..shown how"Heck it be a good skill to learn after all.

Vilfred listens and nods, a smile forms on his snout"Of course you can stay and help!" He grins and sits up carefully, only to tense in pain and lay back down " My shrews can..show you how to build....we do need the infirm building finished up, some huts to sleep in and the dinning hall..a storage building is done just needs.....well stuff to store in it for winter and badgers are most strong to carry things indeed."He goes to pat his arm"Thank you and suppose should thank Abbot Benar as well."He glaces outside "And Novice Keldorn for..saving me life, if he had not risked his life...for mine....the Guosim would of had to pick a new Log-A-Log."

Xander nods "I am glad he saved you and yes he risked a lot seeing as that large pike and at the time the smaller one was...very much still in the river."He frowns "And I will see what can be done about the pike...I promise Log-a-Log and...thanks for letting me stay here and giving me a chance to learn from you"

Vilfred nods "You are welcome..Xander,,,I think I will rest now, tell my shrews I am ok and that you are here for a season to help us, we will figure out about the pike...for now my good friend we rest...have Berwin make a meal for you and Novice Keldorn and when he wants to go home let my shrews escort him."He knows Berwin will bring him something as well."Again...thank you.." He will rest, get up to eat dinner and then back to sleep to get much needed rest.

Aqua quietly walked up the shore to where the river was , not too far from the sea coast but also making sure there was a for sure river current.She had her newborn cub with her.

Baxtor had followed, then he is a guard so it made sense to make sure a fellow otter was safe,he glanced around and then sat down along the bank of the river.

Deniz looks down from the railing he is finishing with a repair and then jumps down "Hey ya...so wots up taday mates?"

Aqua looks over and nods,"Just something before we head home soon"She says quietly and walks over to the river, carefully and gently holding the cub so the river current water goes along their back, she holds the wiggling cub a moment and then backs back up with it with a smile.

Baxtor watches and another quick glance around as he yawns a little "I can't wait till the next trip out 'ere...could be most enjoyable" He folds his arms behind his back and leans onto the tree trunk he is against.

Deniz watches and nods "It is a nice place, the sea coast but one can grow tired of it..."He hmmms "So what is with the....laying a newborn cub on the water about?" He is curious as where he lived they clearly didn't do this or least his family didn't do it.

Aqua tilts her head, "To let them feel the river current along their backs, it's a tradition among otters so they later swim, one is not an otter till you feel the river current along your back."

Baxtor nods as he grins "Yep...ya never seen one do this before? Gee...ya have a lot ta learn but not to worry we can teach ya the ways of a river otter if need be"

Deniz says, "My parents just took me and my sisters out in the boat when fishing and suddenly threw us in the water when we were maybe a season or so old, like...there learn ta swim so ya don't drown...hee he learned ta swim,though took one of me sisters a couple tries""

Aqua says, "Well we all have our ways of learning things,we are all different in that way"She smiles as she rocks her cub, whom is quiet right now"I wonder how others are at camp"

Baxtor chuckles and wipes his eyes "That has to be funny, sounds like something a hare family would do..hee hee...I wonder how those hares do learn ta swim, throw em inta the sea!" He chuckles again.

Deniz shrugs "One never knows, I meet a couple hares before but never went to that mountain place, I mean I heard the view is great but..heights are...bad, in a boat is fine but way up high is not good at all unless ye be a bird and they don't care, they love the air and they fly around"

Aqua smiles "It is likely nice but yeah not interested myself and I know some of the hares were here a few days, that was interesting but I always wondered how the badger Lord can put up with all the hares and the hares eat a lot of food"

Baxtor says, "Who knows its a guarded secret the hares keep how they eat a lot and seem to always be in good shape or never seem low on food. It's why ya don't invite hares ta a party, they will eat all ya food"

Deniz shrugs "Anyways I got the main boat fixed up and a couple others, though still working on one I am trying to figure out how ya even got it here in de first place, it likely won't make it back without some serious repair...I think I can get most of it done, least to let it get back to the camp and then finish up repairs there and on any other boats or canoes ya have"

Aqua says, "And we are glad of the help, we will likely be busy once home as there is harvest to get in or least what we have, fish to catch and likely some other repairs around camp besides the boats""

Baxtor says, "Every beast be busy in autumn time to be ready for winter. tis good to be busy and keeps ya less bored"

Deniz chuckles "I have already been busy fixing boats, a couple for another holt and well now for Camp Willow and being a member of Camp Willow will be great, and a home...well I did have one but not one of me own."

Aqua says, "Camp Willow is a wonderful place, your gonna love it there"

Baxtor grins "No place better than Camp Willow fer an otter matey!"

Deniz smiles "Can't wait to head there and maybe look around the area, of course still keep busy as said around camp but I want a little time to explore too"

Aqua nods as she looks down at her cub and smiles "I am sure your have some time to do that, just don't take too much time to explore around"

Baxtor says, "Yeah gots ta keep ya busy after all...fixing boats but also helping in other places around camp"

Deniz smiles as he finally sits down "Understand, sides I do need a little break when get there, just a couple days I mean I have been doing a lot of repairs, still plan to do repairs till we..."He smiles at the word we "We go home"

Aqua smiles "Home will be good" It's good to smile again she thinks, even if she lost her husband, life is still good and she still has her newborn cub and she is glad"I am gonna head back to campsite"She stands to head that direction.

Baxtor nods "Allow me ta escort ya Aqua."He nods to Deniz "Don't overwork ya self mate...see you later on" He then goes to make sure Aqua gets back safe.There will likely be a bonfire later too, hey the fun is still going on at the western shore for a few more days!!

Deniz watches them head off and goes to climb the rope ladder back onto the boat, "Where was I.....oh yes there is another small leak to tend to on this one and then the last one to start on"
