Well, Could of Been Worse-Guosim Log

Who:

Vilfred-Log-A-Log

Lyra-Fighter and 2nd in command of Guosim, Wife to Log-A-Log

Leigh- Healer

Some  spoofs of  Guosim Shrews and a Spoof of a rat and weasel...

LOG:

It was winter, and a couple nice days and of course snow off and on.Cold winds so far seemed the only bad thing about this winter and the fact one could, if brave enough, venture out almost to the middle of the River  Moss and maybe unwisely jump to perhaps  good ice,maybe not and get to the other side but few were brave enough to try.

But winter was not going to let her beasts forget just how bad winter could be, so she dropped a snow storm that came and went just as quickly, a snow storm that let fall a good 2-3 feet of snow, more in some places further north.It had been a while since  good size amount of snow fell.

Vilfred stood outside in the aftermath and sighed "This is being not so good, not liking this"

Lyra came up beside him and offered a smile "It's not too bad, no lives are lost and everyone is safe love, no one lost.

Leigh walked out carefully and looked around, back to the Log-A-Log"The fire in the fireplace in the dinning hall is low, should someone get some firewood from storage?"

Vilfred nodded "Is sounding like good plan yes? Let us go"

But unknowns to them the storage building was..currently being visited by couple bandits, a tall rat and his weasel friend, and they had a small fire going, in the storage building of all places! As if the slightly open door and smoke didn't give it away.

Lyra smiles and then it seemed to fade "Love....why is there smoke  coming from the storage hut?"

Leigh looked as well and frowned"Raise the alarm?"

Vilfred laid a paw on his raspier and quickly went to the storage build and opened the door"I am thinking you are trespassing and you need to be doing the..going way now"

The rat and weasel quickly woke, of course seeing an angry shrew the weasel kicked some logs and that set ablaze some supplies The rat took a different course of action and that was to charge the Log-A-Log blade swinging.

Lyra frowns and then wakes a guard, her and the guard get a longbow and release arrows towards the rat.Meanwhile another looks around for a way to put the fire out before it gets too bad.

Leigh stays off to the side.she has her healers pouch if it's needed, she will help when and where she can.

Vilfred sidesteps the rat and slices at the rat's side with his raspier. He grins "Someone is being a bad beast and chosen badly a place to visit says I"

The fire spreads rather fast through the storage shack, but also a lot of snow has fallen, the melting snow does help with the fire as cracks and creaking happen with the roof.The weasel screams and is smart as he rushes out just as the shack caves in..basically ruining most of the supplies and it still smothers a little, but slowly the fire is getting out as fresh snow falls and helps with it.

The rat gets an arrow in his shoulder, another grazes his side.He turn to look at the collapsed shack and chuckles "Ha!I only wish someone was inside that!"

Lyra backs up as does a couple other shrews, a frown forms as yes no one was inside but still, that is gonna place a hurt on winter.

Leigh places a paw on her mouth and shakes her head, she looks in the direction of the fight.

Vilfred is a skilled and deadly fighter for his size.He blocks a slice, sidesteps another and aims his own attacks at the rat.

The rat  is a fairly good fighter himself but  gets a gash across the chest and backs up a fair amount to pant and catch his breath."I..I hate shrews..." He goes to rush forwards at one last attack.Meanwhile the weasel sneaks up behind Leigh and goes to grab her from behind.

Vilfred sidesteps and lets out a startled gasp as his foot paws connect with ice and he  slides and falls, hitting the ground,the air knocked from him but avoiding injury.

Leigh starts to go forwards when the weasel grabs her and she stuggles and goes to bite one of his paws.

Lyra narrows her eyes, and then its likely wise to run, if the vermin get to run in time as she gives the command  to fire arrows at the rat, the weasel is looked at and surrounded before he has a chance to flee.

The rat smirks, a cutlass aimed "Say good----"And any further words are lost as the rat's life ends by arrow. The weasel meanwhile whimpers and backs up to the only place he can, the frozen river..he backs up and pays no attention to where he is going but panics when the ice cracks and he throws the captive shrew to the side and panics more, rushing the wrong way only to sink into the river and  not surface again!

Vilfred scoots back as he sits up and looks at the dead rat "Serves ye right...vermin pest ya are"

Leigh struggles knowing it's not good to be on the river, yes its frozen but not fully towards the middle, as she is throw she screams and the ice cracks, she luckily doesn't sink, least all the way but barely is above the ice and shivering badly.

Lyra has a couple shrews help Vilfred to stand and check on him, meanwhile the others get a rope, tie one end to one of the shrews and they go to get Leigh, it may seem slow but safe, from the shore Lyra mutters a prayer, please please we can't lose anyone.

Vilfred nods "I can stand...is fine" He frowns as he watches, and glaces around the camp is ok but the supplies are lost...or least 80% of them are.

Leigh holds onto a paw and shivers as she is pulled to safety, she glaces at her fellow shrews and looks ready to pass out.

Lyra frowns "Ok  lets get to the main camp and figure out what to do"

==Hour later==

Vilfred has thought, and thought as he stands "We go to abbey..camp will be fine till Spring,can even do weekly check of it.Log boats can be tied..hidden away, camp is already still well hidden, even more will be  come spring then summer.Abbey is friends...also we be needing healer" He glaces at Leigh, she was their only healer and it would seem the healer was in need of...well  a healer."Come is is not long way, we go before more snow makes it bad idea."

The other shrews follow their Log-A-Log as he was right after all and maybe they could get back before spring, and if not...well the abbey food was the best! The shrews also managed to save 20% of their supply and would bring those with them to the abbey.Plans would be made to fix the storage shed. The huts they had were  study and safe and would be fine till they got back, the mess hall would be fine, the Log boats would be fine, even the smoke pit they make to smoke fish would be fine till they returned. They would fix the storage building and make it even better and stronger to withstand future issues.

Vilfred sighed as they neared the abbey gates and looked to Lyra"Is good plan...or bad plan?"

Lyra laid a paw on his shoulder, "It's a good one, now come on love let's get inside"
