Shadowfur- Leader of The Shadow

Ormaz- ensane warloard and horde leader

Matilda - Chapion Of Redwall

-Some spoofs of guards and assorted abbey beasts once at Redwall gates...

Log:

Melantha is here just trying to relax and snorts as her ears are laid back. Nearby is Shadowfur, the former leader of the Shadow as he grins "We did manage to take Ferravale and we still have slaves....so why the down face?"

Ormaz emerges from a patch of shadow, directly behind Melantha, most likely utterly obliterating any chance of relaxation she had. "It's a start. But we're not done yet," he says darkly. "This is just the beginning. Marek is by all accounts out of the picture, but there's more to be done."

Melantha looks up "Like what...we basically own Mossflower don't we...beasts fear us"She grins "It feels....fun to be feared" Shadowfur nods "Yes but what more is there sir? We cant very well get more slaves that blasted abbey is....being used as a save haven of sorts..annoying but we can attack with birds maybe...and once in a while one is bound to come out"

"It is not enough to be feared by our foes," Ormaz murmurs. "They must be ground into the dust, beyond the power to ever rise again. While that Abbey holds out, so too does resistance." He tightens his grip on a dagger at his side. "And resistance cannot be tolerated."

Melantha speaks "So what do we do....try and trick their abbot into coming out or something and take him captive...." Shadowfur just listens "Well its not like we can do much...the abbey has a strong gate..walls...and that umm..." They both know it, fear it some "Martin the warrior spirit protecting it"

"Shadowfur." Ormaz is deceptively calm. "What did we just do?" He answers for the underling. "We just took Ferravale. A village. With walls and gates that are by all accounts 'strong.' And..." His eyes flash with rage. "Martin the Warrior. Nothing but dust and bones now. Just another ghost story to scare away weak-minded beasts--those who are too dim-witted to actually think for themselves. If Martin the Warrior were protecting the Abbey, why haven't they counter-attacked? Surely with such a *mighty* warrior protecting them," he says, dripping venom and sarcasm in equal measure, "they would not fear retribution?"

Shadowfur frowns "Umm..well I for one I am gonna go on a attack the abbey that's suicidal and your insane to think on doing it" The cat ears flatten as she quickly leaves her chair and backs off as Shadowfur basically seems to seal his doom."Umm....yeah you most likely have a lot to plan...Ormaz...I am gonna check on the slaves back soon"

"Excuse me?" Ormaz says, eyes gleaming dangerously. "Did you just say what I thought you said?" Again, he answers himself. "Of course you did." In the same fraction of a second, before his words have even died on the air, his dagger is suddenly buried to the hilt in Shadowfur's chest. His false sense of calm burns away into ash. "Here's your answer, Shadowfur," he snarls. "Insanity isn't ignoring foolish superstitions. Insanity is looking into the eyes of Dark Forest itself, and daring to defy its will. Insanity is questioning your superior in such a foolish way. Insanity," he finishes, ripping his dagger free of Shadowfur's heart ever so slowly, twisting it as he does so, "is what got you killed." His voice returns to being steady and calm as a pool of water. But something lurks in that pool, something abominable and hateful. "A pity, Shadowfur. You died for nothing but an infant's superstition." He turns his back, and walks away, leaving Shadowfur to bleed his life out on the ground.

Melantha whimpers as she watches Ormaz, ok this guy is insane "Your..Your gonna attack Redwall?" She asks a little nervous,"But...most..well all ..failed at that even those who did get in...they all died" She is so leaving and darn he is blocking the door..well there is the window, she can get out while he isn't looking. Shadowfur meanwhile is dead now.She seems to decide, bad idea or good idea or maybe she is just afraid"I don't..don't want to help take over Redwall....we can tax it?"

Ormaz advances slowly. "Tax it?" he laughs. "TAX IT? You're missing the point entirely. Weren't you just saying how good it is to be feared, minion? Imagine being feared, because you killed every last beast who could resist you. Imagine burning all bastions of hope in the region from existence. If we let them live...it would undo everything we've fought for." He flicks a paw and his dagger flies out, whirling lazily through the air with deceptive grace. Then it punches into Melantha's chest, burying itself deep between her ribs. "And now, I killed you, too. Sorry about that. I thought you were smarter than Shadowfur." He laughs maliciously. "I was apparently wrong. Now go die somewhere else, I have work to do." He heads off further into the base.

Melantha gasped as the dagger hits her in the chest, she is in shock or maybe she isn't and yet the dagger barely missed her heart, just by mere mm as he vision spins and pain beyond pain floods her as its hard to breath and she could so give in to sleep...no sleep would led to death and she wants to live, she coughs and shivers and slowly..carefully she is leaving, she almost stumbles and doesn't dare move the dagger, that could make her die faster.....she thinks and makes up her mind...Redwall she will go there, not to take over but to warn them, they may finish her off but maybe....maybe they will take pity on her, she will risk it, she will be their captive if need be, she wants to live.She can..warn them,not that it will help much she thinks and maybe she can make Ormaz lose some slaves and tell those abbey beasts where her base is...well Ormaz's base....yeah time to get revenge for him almost slaying her, least she hopes she can first step...get to abbey

===A few short time later ====

Melantha has made it this far and stumbles again.She is wearing a hooded claok and coughs a little, she takes a few breaths but that seems to hurt to do so.As she nears the gates she seems unsure about this but she decides to risk it and slowly walks over to the gate almost stumbleing again.

The gates of Redwall remain closed, but one of the guards on the ramparts leans over and calls down, "Ahoy the road, hood back and declare your identity"

Melantha striaghtens up or tries to "I.....am not here to..harm.."She does uncover he head as she looks at the guards and then falls over with a grunt..its clear she is seriously injuried, and the next words could just finish her of but.."Melantha...."

The guard frowns, and makes a signal, three guards appear pointing arrows at her, "Stay there," He says and steps back and then a few moments later the sallyport in the gate opens and a hedgehog steps out. She has one hand on the hilt of her sword and stands to regards the cat, "Melantha, of the Black Rose, you were not who I was expecting."

Melantha dryly chuckles "Neither....me.."She tenses up in pain "Please....help....me...he is insane...he tried to kill me...and your abbey is...next" She thinks, is near passing out "I can tell the location of...slaves.....you can...chain... me up...plese"

Matilda frowns but then makes a motion and two mice slip out of the gates and move to take up position on either side of the fox and help her toward the gates. The champion walks backwards, watching the road, "We are Redwall Abbey, we do not chain beasts up like slavers.... nor do we turn beasts in need away, we'll help and see what your words are worth. But if this is some sort of trick cat it will go poorly for you."

Melantha frowns,she shows a dagger thats clearly in her chest, luckly barely missing anything vital...yes she wouldn't lie...but walking may of been a bad idea as she walks and tumbles again shivering.

Matilda frowns at the cat, half lifting a hand toward it but leaves it be, "We'll get a healer to look at that, come on inside now, let's get you looked at."

Melantha nods as she does slowly get inside only to fully pass out onto the grounds.

Abbey beasts crowd around and stare, they mutter to themselves, and just look at the passed out cat.

Matilda escorts Melantha up to the infirmary and turns her over to the care of the Abbey healers, she leaves a few guards with the healers and the cat and the hedgehog hurries off to get the Abbot.

Angela will never, ever help a slaver. She made Rafeal do it. If Angela was the only Healer in Redwall, Melantha would've died.
