Velm- LP Lt. and Healer

Xander- Novice

LOG:

Gorvenalus sits in the Great Hall, sipping some hot tea as he stays by the fireplace with a frown on his face. The abbey still had yet to really see the damage, he himself looked out the 3rd story window and seen the gatehouse and the champion cottage was mostly buried, piles of snow were by the wall in most places, and a LOT of snow around the grounds. He siped his tea a little again as he tried to think, maybe even help the abbot be less stressed.   

Velm spent the last couple days in a guest room and now has ventured out. The temporary cloth over his eyes is off though some light still hurts a little, he is better. His paw has a couple rough areas, but the frostbite healed and no danger of losing any fingers, or his paw. He noticed the beaver and walked over sitting down close to him "Hey old chap. Seems your abbey is a bit..snowed in" He tilts his head "You seem worried, then I suppose tis a worry wot." He had yet to put his uniform back on. He had a sort of borrowed robe that was faded green and had some brown patches on it.   
   
Gorvenalus glances up and smiles a little "It is good to see you up and about friend, how are you feeling?" He replies to the question "Yes, some friends are trapped in the gatehouse and the cottage...our Gatekeeper Dorarose and also Our Champion Matilda. We will need to get to them and dig them out."   
   
Velm nods "I could jolly well help you."He sighs "I also need ta check ta see if me knapsack is still by de wall. My guess it likely is...not that things couldn't be replaced...they can if needed. I just had some letters I am unsure if were in the pack or....on me at the time."   
   
Gorvenalus smiles "Any help would be good....also"He pulls out a wrapped folder that looks a bit waterstained on the outside but also fairly thick, tied shut with cord."This was in your uniform, we checked to make sure nothing important was inside before we had it cleaned and dried. So you should have it back around lunch"   
   
Velm grins as he takes the package and opens it. It seems it's waterproof. He pulls out 3 letters "Aha!...well good thing then wot."He lays them out "One for a Ciana...one for a Xander Winters....and one to your Abbot too."He smiles "Elbio sent the one for Ciana..Sargeant Zoloon the one for Xander and his Lordship the one for your Abbot...mainly how things are and seeing how things are here.." He hmmms "I wonder if the storm affected them before getting to Mossflower"   
   
Gorvenalus takes the letters and shrugs "It is hard to say, if a storm did affect them as well I am sure all is well. Storms do go from east to west after all so it's very possible...though likely not so much sow there seeing as it's generally warmer, least there so I heard"   
   
Velm says, "It is "He glances around the room, a small frown a moment "I had a hare maid with me, no worries she is at her farm though I do hope her and her family are alright"   
   
Gorvenalus replies "I am sure she is ok if with family. Though yes some outside the abbey may well need help and we sadly can not help everyone. This may well be a hard winter for some beasts, and one of the coldest so far as well. But he has a lot of firewood and food...drink in the abbey we are fine."   
   
Velm says, "That's good, snow is early but at least it was not super early. I will help best I bally well can while I am here. Plan ta stay till spring when Elbio returns, maybe as a Lt. even. I suppose we shall see."   
   
Gorvenalus chuckles "Snow earlier would not have been fun no. We are in a way still lucky, it could have been worse. We do have yet to see if anything else needs attention, we noticed the champion cottage and gatehouse from a 3rd story window. Things more outside or elsewhere we will need to get outside to see."   
   
Velm nods slowly as he sighs "I came...ta find answers of the past, but likely won't be easy now. I just..."He shakes his head "Want ta know wot bally well happen that day...those days...."   
   
Gorvenalus watches the hare "What days, when? It could be in the recorder logs or perhaps someone else knows. Some of both could help too"   
   
Velm seems...out of it a brief moment and then blinks a few times before recovering "Oh...sorry chap when the....de stoat tried ta take over...his Lordship and 300 of us hares came..."He frowns, remembering something maybe or maybe not... it's hard to tell.   
   
Gorvenalus frowns and reaches over to lay a paw on the hare's arm "It's alright....we do have some things in the logs if you wish to read them or maybe I can read them if you do not wish to. I also have a couple things written down of what different beasts said that is not with the main logs. A list of names even that is also on a plaque in the graveyard. Would you like to look with me in the library Velm?"

Velm is still a little out of it and shakes his head to clear it before going to follow the Recorder "Sounds like a plan chap, Can't hurt after all and one never knows wot answers they will find."

Gorvenalus lets the hare look over the scrolls as he walks over to a shelf to place a book back on it that he fixed a page in.

Xander walks into the library, a couple of books he lays down on a table he is returning. He does notice the hare but leaves him be as he looks busy"Brother Gorvenalus I am done looking at these books, should I leave them here or would ya want me ta place them on the shelf?"

Velm looks up at the voice, he studies the badger a while and then speaks "You...you were Thar, ya walked with us. Along the river with..with Sargeant Zolomon, though at the time he was just a recruit. His Lordship made him a Private right before the fighting started"

Gorvenalus smiles "Place them on the shelves, Xander."He blinks as he looks at the hare and then at Xander and back to Velm "You remember something sir hare?"

Xander turns to the hare when he speaks, he has heard Gorvenalus but his focus is on the hare. To prove he did here the Recorder he first  goes to place the books on the correct shelves and makes his way slowly over to Velm and leans on his cane."By the river?" He asks as he sounds confused, then as the hare speaks it dawns on him"Oh, you're talking about on de way back from Salamanstron when me and some of the Mossflower Defenders went to the Mountain for aid against  Ormaz and his large horde."He frowns "It..got worse than we thought when we got back, we didn't know he would have a couple smaller hordes join him or likely he forced them to join up with him" He looks at the hare "I...don't...remember you, then I only really talked to a couple hares and walked with Ciocan most of the time"

Gorvenalus stays to the side and close by in case he is needed as he does a little dusting.

Velm nods and notes the cane "Were you..injured  in the fight?" He stands up to walk closer to Xander "I..saw from a distance...yes." He frowns a little as some things seem to come back to him a bit now.

Xander shakes his head "No, not then. It was more recent."He sighs as he sits in a chair."A group of slavers took our dibbuns from the abbey and some dibbuns from around the area. The slavers got to the western shore...I fought the  2nd in command and he shot a poisoned cross bolt at me, very bad poison, cross bolt at me. Before that, the vixen who was in charge had sliced my shoulder and managed to deepen it before she ran off. The 2nd in command was killed by our Champion but the vixen, Mistclaw, got away, and the poison almost nearly killed me and would of if a healer with us didn't slow it...Ciocan got some vision about the poison and managed to make the antidote before I got thar,  if..."He frowns "If my friends had gotten me thar like an hour later...I would have died, I barely got the antidote in time and even then I almost died in the infirm at Salamanstron....twice I believe almost died."He smiles a little "I survived ....though my right side is messed up, I am alive and glad. I stepped down as a warrior and am now a novice at Redwall and will be a Brother in the order when done with Novice training"

Velm listens and nods slowly"Oh...I see. I just know a lot were injured by Ormaz and his ....horde. I was injured, but on de road...some vermin were outside...and...ditch"He frowns as sort of sways and holds his head as different flashbacks pop up in his memories.

Gorvenalus quickly goes to steady the hare "Hey ...Velm, Lt. Velm can you hear me?"

Xander starts to stand and seeing Gorvenalus stand he stays seated. A deep frown forms, "Is...he alright?"

Velm groans and his eyes seem unfocused  for a couple of moments as the hare slowly comes back to the here and now with a frown of his own "I...yes..wot?" He frowns "Ya bally well know wot chaps, I..I need a rest, a blooming nap"He will of course allow help to his room.

Gorvenalus helps the hare to the room he has and will make sure no one bothers him,he will bring him lunch when it's ready.
