We Leave Now!!

Who:

Zoltar-Evil wildcat, fighter and Assassin

Esmeray-Evil healer/fighter kitty

Oz- badger cub of 3.5 seasons

LOG:

Zoltar was grumpy, he was peeved when he went into the Black Gull Tavern.He scanned the room for the beast he spoke to yesterday.

At a table was a stoat, he looked like one nobody would want to be an enemy of weather that be woodlander or fellow vermin. Beside him was a mouse, clearly a slave by the looks of it and clearly been a slave a while as the old mouse sat on the floor beside the stoat.

Zoltar walked over"I need that raft now Darkclaw." His voice barely keeping a good tone.

Darkclaw simply looked up at Zoltar and narrowed his eyes.."Cake.." The mouse    stood and clears his throat "The Master wishes you to leave...before he makes you leave, as in leave this state of living,as in be dead so kindly leave."

Zoltar resited the urge to just stab the stoat,or  this poor excuse for a mouse,he instead bowed and left,he went to the back of the Gull once he exited the front that is, yes going around the building from the outside.Once in the back it was to the back door kitchen, to the cellar and pushing down an old stoage shelf down some hidden stairs.

Esmeray was doing her best to tend to Oz, a sigh escaped her for the 5th time"I don't care if math is yucky it's important. I think history is yuckie myself...course not as important"

Oz grumbled but went back to the horrible math, this was beyond punishment on top of being a captive, it could not get any worse.

One should be careful what one thinks, cause here comes Zoltar to make your day worse!"Lesson over, we leave now" He says and his voice is not happy"Its just past midnight..let's go"

Esmeray  decides not to ask what happen and eeps slightly. She quickly gathers what little supplies they have, a lot they sort of left at the hut in the rush to leave there."Come on cub, trust me listen to Zoltar"

Oz whimpers and goes to follow the two outside.

Zoltar studies Oz and growls slightly ears back, he looks at Emeray"We need to get to the river bank..let's go."He makes Oz wear a clearly too large for him hooded cloak.

Esmeray finally speaks"So where is this raft, I...thought we had to wait a couple of days before it was ready." She sighs and picks up Oz knowing he will likely slow them in the oversize cloak.

Oz trips like 5 times, skins his knee but still walks. He doesn't fight back when he is picked up and simply looks tired as he yawns and falls asleep using the cat's shoulder as a pillow.

Zoltar snorts "We need to get our own raft, but I have a backup plan" Of course he did. Once they were a little ways upriver from the bridge he made them wait for an hour before he came upriver in a shrew log boat"Get in"

The log boat was just big enough for two large beasts as the badger cub could sit on Esmeray's lap or just  be in the ort of corner area of the log boat.

"Where did you get this?" Esmeray asks.

Zolatr chuckles coldly "I think the..whats it called..GUOSIM..left thier log boats unguarded so I took the largest one that likely belongs to thier chieftain...ha...and they likely won't notice it's missing for days."

Esmeray shrugs as they paddle upriver "What ever you say Zoltar, so how far upriver are we going?"

Zoltar replies "Till we get to a trail that leads to a town called Collinstel...the river isnt the best route thar but...for right now."The river added like10 miles in fact but hey, it worked for now as no paw prints...maybe to the river but then...well any beasts guess as to did they go up or down river!

Esmeray just helped paddle and keep the badger cub quiet and asleep but the boat ride seemed to help the cub sleep, least the oversize claok helped him keep warm.

The logboat would be noticed as missing a couple weeks later on a random check and signs of the rope being cut also that kept the log boat in place. Other logboats would be there still...of course the largest boat was the one gone and Log-a-log was instantly peeved off!
