SCENE: Ferravale: Redthorn Tavern

LOG:
The blizzard was ferocious, the worst any of the Ferravalians had ever seen (except for the few that had immigrated here from the Northlands, but they didn't count in this case). Most of the buildings are inaccessible, proving the wisdom of Blisa's idea to have everyone gather their most important belongings and what food, firewood, and blankets and warm clothes they could carry, and take refuge together in the tavern. However, there is also the issue that they are vermin, and the tavern is a small area. Which makes the prospect of being stuck in here a bit nervewracking. Which is part of why the Chieftain and her bodyguards are also here in the tavern, hoping to keep the peace. Some of the guards were able to join them, but most of the guards are stuck in the guardhouse. Blisa is currently deep in discussion with some stoats, weasels, ferrets, and even a couple ermine, trying to figure out the best way to tunnel through the snow from the tavern to various buildings throughout the city. She can see the urgency of getting everyone back to their homes. Tensions are mounting amongst the vermin.

Patch has, well stayed fairly calm in this whole thing. He for now stays out of the chieftain's way as he gets plates and mugs to wash.

A rat and a fox have started arguing. Blisa spots this and sighs heavily. How she wishes the Head Guard was here, but no, she's stuck in the guardhouse. Joy. The fox shoves the rat, who falls towards Patch. Another fox leaps out of the way, shouting at the others. Oh, look, a bar fight! Lovely. The few Dibbuns who are here start to cry in fright, which causes some of the vermin to yell at their parents to shut them up, and the parents start yelling back. Blisa stands, her green eyes searching for the best way to fix this.

Patch backs up as he is trying to avoid a fight. He would normally say place bets on a winner but he knows this is more serious as he glaces at the chieftain " So...this is..far from a good thing"

Blisa hops on a table and shouts, "ENOUGH!! Everybeast be still or so help me I'll toss you outside the city gates and let you find your way through the woods alone!!" There is an uneasy silence that radiates out from the Chieftain, somes beasts holding the fighters back from each other, everyone shushing everyone else. The cat takes a deep breath. "We are trying to figure out a way to get you all safely back to your homes, but we need quiet to do that. I know none of you want to be here any longer than absolutely necessary. If you could please just try to not get on each other's nerves, this will all go faster." The Dibbuns are trying not to cry. The Chieftain stalks over to them, smiling. "Hey, it'll be okay. Why don't you have a snack? Patch, get these little ones something nice to eat and drink. I'll handle the cost."

Patch nods and thinks, a sigh and he finds some water and greensap milk and some scones that was made ealier. He sitsthe food down and backs off again." Ya know that mole be helpfull right now"

Blisa throws her paws in the air. "I know, but he's not here! Weasels and ferrets and them are good at digging, at least, but if we had a few moles, that'd be helpeful." The ferrets and things had continued their planning once the cat had gotten the tavern quieted down, and now they stand, stretching. "We got this covered, Chief," the leader of the group says, saluting in a very piratey manner. "Ye can count on us!" With that, they get the snow shovels they had brought on the Chieftain's request and head to the door. "First stop, th' food storage!"
