A Temporary Base- Zoltar Log

Zoltar had traveled up river a few more days,  being careful to not leave a trail, traveling at night. He still had the log boat and keep only one beast beside him.

The other vermin,totaling 20, walked along the bank of the river, " So I wander how far we are going in this stupid snow and ice?"

A rat shrugged " Beats me, right annoying I says"

Zoltar calls out " Ok all...stop a few moments" He tries up the longboat and grins" Ok every beast into the woods." The woods here were very creepy and didn't look to friendly.  There was a path but it was hidden fairly well behind some old vines and thorn bushes." Das!"

Das quickly got beside the wildcat to walk beside him as he looked around to see where they were,a frown but he decided to not complain out loud.

Zoltar walks along a path of sorts with trees growing very close together, almost forming a sort of tunnel effect , but there was a slight opening to the sky. It led into a clearing with a small pond . The dark woods went onwards down a couple other paths leading left and right. The small pond has large boulders around it.

Das goes to sit on one, then suddenly screams as he falls backwards towards the pond, but. He doesn't hit the pond as the boulder seems to flip sideways  and back upright again. Das is no where to be seen.

A couple rats look freaked out" Somerhibg ate him!"

"I am so outraged here…...blahhhh"

Zoltar hisses, he looks at where he threw the dagger into the rat's back, the now dead rat" Anyone else want to leave the area?"

All the rest shake their heads nope.

Meanwhile  Das groans and sits up looking around what looks to be a large underground cavern. There is miss and another larger pool of water.

"Who cares disturbed Cecilia...speak or death comes to you" Came a female voice e, sounding old and cracking some raspy and a bit  scary.

Zoltar walks close to the boulder and pushes on it in a couple places, he feels along it with his claws till he finds a sort of dent and  presses down.

He is rewarded with an opening, but someone will have to keep it open so all can go down.He has a black furred fox hold the opening,  a couple weasels stay outside to guard.' What is this place?"

Das whimpers and upon seeing Zoltar he gets behind the wildcat.

An old silver-grey vixen steps towards them.Her eyes are a dim grayish sea blue, she is blind! But she doesn't act blind. She wears a light blue and violet colored robe, jewelry on her neck,ears and left paw and Carrie's a brown willow staff with seashells, black rocks and feathers on it" This is my lair..I am Cecilia the seer. "

The cavern is large, large enough to hold many beasts if ever needed. To the far back a tunnel heads off to who knows where,  up or down is not known either.

Zoltar narrows his eyes,  he draws his blade" I'd it now, well not for long tis not"

Cecilia turns his direction and shakes her staff. " You are one seeking much and will gain much with time. " She tilts her head, " I was expecting you, you and your horde can stay till winter,  I will be of great aid to you"

Das peeks around and looks at the seer curious of her.

Zoltar studies her, " Horde?" He does need a place and this place is hidden,hidden so well it would only be found by sheer luck or unlucky maybe.He grins" I am Zoltar and this is my group"

Cecilia may be blind but she doesn't act like it." Yes, your group will grow after the winter snows melt, they will be many. Strong and powerful and you have chance at greatness like no other ever has. This place is hidden, no beast has found it, and the faint few who did no longer live. I Will serve you Emperor Zoltar" She tilts her head slightly at Das

Das keeps his distance, the old vixen freaking him out.

Zoltar chuckles "Emperor...I like de sound of that. A great horde, yes I will,lay low till spring and then I will move on to bigger, better things.  Grow in power and strength and take everything I want." He shoves Das to the side " Help everyone unpack, we just found a little winter haven"

The vermin look around unsure. Some just seem glas of a break and no need to walk. They have supplies from the hamster village.

Cecilia also has a stock of food, and ale. Seems she expected the company of a group for winter. She bows to the wildcat" SIre…."

Zoltar smiles coldly "Soon my name will be feared, I will have power and a great horde of me own, maybe another servant or two at my footpaws." He looks around " This group needs a fitting name, me a fitting title and I have a seer now" He grins at all this and goes to study the cavern, his base for now...just for now, this is temporary till he gets something much better, even if it already belongs to others, it will be his.
