Marek-Stoat
spoofed varies novices,abbey beasts and guests

RW Abbey: Cavern Hole
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This room is slightly smaller than Great Hall, but still of a size large enough to accommodate a great number of gathered beasts. A large fireplace is set into one of the walls, and there are a series of small tables and chairs near one end for beasts who are eating late, or simply prefer the smaller tables for their meals. Cushions and blankets have been set in one corner. A short flight of steps leads up to Great Hall, and along the walls of the stairs, going both ways, the word 'Redwall' has been carved into the stone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Gorvenalus is sitting at the table eating breakfast quietly as he writes on some paper. There is some oatmeal with fruit and honey and green sap milk.
   
Edson walks into cavern hole, a little tried as he didn’t sleep much and is more of a night time beast lately. He sits down and yawns.   

Leon makes his way inside the room, gets some food and sits down. “Hello sir, guessing not fully awake yet?"   

Edson takes a moment to yawn before nodding to the mouse, "Yeah one could say that. I am more of awake by lunch sort of beast"   

Leon chuckles "I tent to sometimes have odd hours of being awake, it all depends on if anyone needs a healer or not, usually though its sunrise I wake and sleep an hour or two after sundown"   

Edson smirks "You abbey dwellers are use to a sunrise and sunset sort of thing. Not all beasts follow it, I mean some do but not all."   

Leon shrugs "Maybe but there is no certain time to wake or sleep and yes a lot do wake early like the novices and sleep by sundown, some beasts are up late and we have a very small amount that act as wall guards to watch the road for travelers or the sometimes chance of evil beasts wishing trouble"
   
Edson says, "Well the Mossflower Defenders keep an eye out for trouble so thar be a chance less trouble will be around here."   

Leon says, "I know of the Defenders, my wife is in the group and helps when she can, but she is also the gatekeeper here at the abbey so she can't always be out helping."   

Edson nods "That’s all very nice, and tis fine as the group as a fair amount of beasts and hopefully will acquire more beasts"   

Leon says, "I am sure it will, you guys have a good leader"   

Edson nods "He is fairly good at it, young but does a good job as far as I can tell." He sips some juice he has" He did help save the abbot after all"   

Leon says, "Yes he did. I remember that and got him back safe to the abbey"   

Edson smiles "I was there me self so I know the outcome of the events. I can't say the choice of the hiding place was...well..the best, creepy if ask me"   

Leon decides to be curious "And what made the choice of locations creepy?"   

Edson speaks in a quiet tone “The undertakers house in Ferravale, down this creepy path..think that’s why no one seemed to find us, who in their right mind would go near this home I mean....ya would have to see it to know what I am talking bout"   

Leon says, "I don’t think I have ever been there before. I have seen him before....from a distance once when I was helping some healers in Ferravale"   

Gorvenalus finally glances over and rolls up the scroll he was writing on. “All beats are different you know. Each has their own personity"   

Edson blinks at the beaver "Yeah well his is...well for sure different. Gives off one of those vibes of..well I can’t explain it "   

Leon says, "Maybe it’s best to change the subject"   

Gorvenalus smiles" Changing a subject helps yes we can leave it at this. Sometimes beasts are placed in the right place at the right time."   

Edson says, "I guess that’s interesting"   

Leon nods "I suppose"   

Marek is sitting Cavern Hole eating a small breakfast before his planned trip back to Ferravale. He greets a passing novice before taking a bite of scone, seemingly content and reading from some notes that he had taken on his journey.
   
Gorvenalus goes back to his writing as he is Recorder now and has been trying to catch up on records and keeping up with any recent events that are important.
   
Edson has noticed Marek but has stayed in his own seat as he can be curious of when he got back later.
   

Leon glances at Marek just noticing him as he is sitting close to the healer. Some novices mutter to themselves and seem a little unsure of the stoat as the healer stands and walks over muttering a couple words and the novice nod and go back to their chores for the morning.    He then sits beside Marek quietly.

Marek mutters under his breath to himself. "Now anything south of the fourth marker is...." He looks up and clears his throat. "Ah, Mr. Leon, Brother Gorvenalus. Good to see you again, I was just  finishing my breakfast and going over some plans to take to Mr. Xander regarding the expansion of the Mossflower Defenders into the area south of Redwall, During my travels with Ms. Angela I've found it to be quite..." He gestures to some barely healed wounds on his already disfigured paw. "...Treachous"   

Gorvenalus looks up at the sound of his name, "Greetings Marek, I am unsure where Xander is, most likely patrolling or maybe on his way to Ferravale where the base is being rebuilt. I have heard that is going very well."   

Edson speaks up " It is, he keeps us updated. He could be talking to that beast building the bell tower  or the blacksmith." He shivers some "I for one don't like the blacksmith but that’s me, I don't like monitors but he is trustworthy at least and has promised to help out when needed for weapons, armor or anything needed for building"   

Leon nods to Marek "Marek, good to see your back and I do hope your trip went well." He glances at Edson " If you’re talking about Ferro, he can be trusted he has been in the abbey a couple times. He does seem a little scary but...well he is a monitor"   

Marek listens intently. "So Xander has recruited more beasts for the Defenders" He takes a long sip from his tea. "That is good, I knew I chose a good beast to take my place. I intend to help as much as I can, but I will not be a leader again" He smiles. "Xander is a much better *cough* excuse me, Xander is a much..." Marek suddenly takes a sharp intake of air, and holds his throat realizing that he is in immense pain. "Mr. Leon!" Marek attempts to shout but it comes out a weak breath. "Mr. Leon, I believe I have been poisoned...." He collapses to the floor and finds himself unable to lift himself off the ground. "Correction *cough* I have most certainly *cough* been poisoned"   

Gorvenalus gasps and stands up/ He might know some healer skills but poison sure is not one of them as he glances at Leon and frowns unsure what to do as the stoat now has anyone's attention that’s in the room and it’s one of those suddenly deathly quiet sort of things.   

Edson frowns, he decides to help in his own way "Ok ok every beast just back away and give him some room already" He gives a glare to a nearby vole who quickly backs up out of the way. “Back up already!”   

Leon is watching Marek when he starts to cough and is already standing beside  him and nods a quick thanks to the hedgehog as he reaches into one of his many pockets. There is some many pockets on this surcoat it’s a wonder he remembers where everything is. In his bag is a vile he opens as he adds a very yellow looking herb to it, fairly thick that smells strongly of mustard and goes to get it down the stoats throat. This will cause him to throw up and the Master Healer knows this. At the same time his tail finds..oddly some charcoal he asks a novice to place in water and not question it, to which the novice quickly does so. All this time  the Master Healer’s focus is on Marek.   

Marek looks up and attempts to aid Leon as best he can, but finds himself unable to and is meet with the foul taste of the strange herb and immediately begins the aforementioned and unpleasant action of dispelling the toxins from his person before collapsing weakly onto the floor.   

Gorvenalus steps forwards to take a pulse as he asks "Any idea whom could of did this? Who was all working in the kitchens?" He will stay nearby if he is needed.   

Edson says, "Tis not like anyone else was poisoned, others ate breakfast and seem fine." He glances towards the kitchens now curious. “Should I take a look and see? Anyone here you know of that dislike the stoat?"

Leon offers the charcoal mixture to what needs drank "This will help absorb any left over poisons." He frowns as he thinks " There is a list of those who help on a clipboard Friar Lacota keeps."     He gently open’s Marek’s mouth and gets the mixture down and nods for someone,  a couple otters, to help get Marek to the infirm.

Marek is still unconscious and is now being carried off to the infirmary.   

Gorvenalus steps back and frowns "It would appear they were just after Marek then, but why and whom?" He listens and hmms "May be best to check that list, see if anyone saw anyone else in the kitchens as the abbey does have guests from time to time I noticed."

RW Abbey: Infirmary
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several beds are lined against the red sandstone walls of the Abbey's Infirmary. An examination table, separated from the rest of the room by hanging blankets, rests against the far wall.  Tucked into a small alcove is a sizeable workbench with various containers for mixing and preparing medicinal compounds.  Against another wall is a desk for use by the Infirmary Keeper.  A curtained off alcove behind the desk hides a locked door to the Infirmary's supplies and linens.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------   

==2 HOURS LATER==

Edson had stayed in the cavern hole and got that list from the kitchens, he wasn’t sure whom to hand it to so he took it to Leon.
   
Leon glances at the list. It’s been a couple hours and Leon only left briefly to let Benar know...yeah Marek may be in the infirm a couple days, he left Gorvenalus to keep an eye on Marek till he got back in here and as he did so he looked over the sheet and laid it down.   

Marek move slightly opening his eyes and coughing before looking up at Leon. "Well *cough* it would appear I'm not as well versed in poisons as I had thought, or simply put that whomever wished to kill me used a very *cough* obscure poison" He takes a drink of water from his bedside. "Thank you, Mr. Leon. But I do wonder, how did you know what to do?"   

Gorvenalus stays nearby as he helps when he can in the infirmary. Curious himself he looks over at Leon.   

Edson rethinks some words said earlier "Right place right time?" He shrugs, "It appears some beast seriously dislikes you Marek, or maybe you were followed here by someone and he most likely knows what to do as he is the Master Healer here after all." But there is still the how DID the healer know and be able to help so quickly. "Ummmm...serious luck?"   

Leon checks Marek over before he speaks, pulse and reflexes and finally speaks "Maybe luck...." He is in healer mode so he is quiet and then speaks again " A dream..vision, whatever you call it with Martin, very brief and of Couse sort of odd....to make sure I had what I did on paw and ready to save a life as the well-being of the abbey was important to the outcome. I had to get the charcoal from the forge, and Marek...your still going to have to rest a couple days to recover, it could of been a lot worse. I have told Benar you were in here...I had to, he may not like the idea you’re in the infirm a couple or few days but..well your need to be"   

Marek nods. "Yes of course, you abbeybeasts and your spiritual visions, it's not a subject I really ever understood" He takes another drink of water. "Perhaps you could send word to Blisa regarding my status, tell her I will be returning to Ferravale in a few days. I believe our new friend Silverwing can deliver a message fairly quickly....though her sense of direction isn't exactly keen and you will have to give her explicit directions on where to go"   

Gorvenalus nods "A message to Ferravale would be good...." He is interrupted by a guard bringing in a mouse that seems a little shaken up as the guard speaks "Novice Toby was found tied in the back of the supply closet, they are fine just a little shaken up. Said they were knocked out from behind and woke up in the closet." The beaver founds "Oh my..." As the guard excuses himself and leaves.   

Edson listens as he nods "I can tell Chieftess Blisa and maybe find Xander as well as seems a good thing for the Mossflower Defenders to look into" He bows and then exits the room off to get his weapon for the road and get going so he is there by nightfall.   

Leon checks the novice and frowns as he listens as he has the novice sit down and goes to get some calming tea, "This is.....interesting and whoever is the cause of this is clearly gone by now. Any ideas Marek?"   

Marek shakes his head. "I was attacked more than once on my journey to Redwall, Mr. Leon but if you are asking me for a specific name than you are out of luck". He coughs slightly. "Many beasts want to kill me, though I have changed many beasts opinions of me there are either those who will never agree that I have changed or those who have darker intentions, both are countless" He half chuckles. "I would honestly not be surprised if an attempt on my life is soon successful. The best we can do is investigate and perhaps increase security in Redwall and Ferravale. If a new threat is already making headway, then I must speak with Xander about increasing the membership of the Mossflower Defenders"   

Gorvenalus quietly listens as Marek speaks, making mental notes to later write down, “Maybe speak with Abbot Benar as soon as your well or one of us could ask him to come in here when he is not busy"   

Leon nods "Well Marek should rest more anyways and yes Benar should know what is going on as well I mean a novice was knocked out and tied up, so my guess a short rat maybe....and vermin can enter the abbey as long as they give up weapons till they leave and obey the rules and...well most do, we have had a rude one once in a while and have asked them to leave and they did. Ferro for example, though he was not rude...very polite, he made beasts nervous and he left when asked." He chuckles at one line "Supposedly he is a vegetarian, but I am uncertain of that"

Marek lets his eyes slowly close as tiredness and weakness urges the need for sleep. His pulse is slightly weak, but will get better in a few hours. His breathing is fairly normal, it too will get better in a few hours. He soon grows quiet as he has fallen asleep.

Gorvenalus heads out, someone has to update Benar after all.

Leon sighs “Well Marek…..Marek?” At first he panics and then finds a pulse and sees the rising and falling of the chest and breaths a sigh of relief, he sits down as he decides he will keep an eye on the stoat…just in case.

======================================================================================== Here is the vision Leon had right before this, the vision only he seen and heard 2 hours before sunrise and what he does after it, but right before breakfast!:
“Brother Leon…Brother Leon!”

Leon sat up in bed “What..whats wrong….what time is it….” His eyes fall onto who just spoke “Martin…”

“Brother Leon you must make haste, a life is in danger and only you can save it. Get the herbs that help against poison and then charcoal.” Martin speaks as he is seen as a shimmery figure.

Leon blinks “Who?” He looks over to Dorarose worried.

Martin speaks again “The life of Dorarose Strongheart’s life is not in danger….the life in danger is Marek Redthorn. His life cannot be left to become  extinguished. If it does the abbey befalls a terrible fate.”

“What…but there are no threats..” Leon starts…

“Did I SAY NOW..NEIGH…But when the time comes….fall..winter..spring..summer..fall..winter….Marek Redthorn must live…SAVE HIM!!!!!!”

Then Martin is gone just as suddenly as he came.

Leon stands and looks at the sleeping Dorarose, how the heck did she sleep through that?! Ok he can question it later, first he goes to the forge and gets a couple pieces of charcoal and then the kitchens to get mustard seed he mixes with anther herb and places it in a vile, and the charcoal after its made into powder into another vial, he also makes sure he has vials of water and then he heads to breakfast after placing his surcoat and healers pouch on, two things he usually waits till after breakfast to place on.
