Log:

Ewan groans as he wakes up, he looks around..oh yeah those painted rats, he was with them and so a whimper forms.."Zolomon?" He asks quietly, making sure the other hare is there and further more there and ok.

Zolomon has been awake, he clears his throat "Still here Private E...been awake most of the night in fact."He would ask if the other hare was doing ok, but that be a dumb question to ask. He already knew he was likely not doing too well.

Patch leaves Marek's group and wanders off on his own.

Ewan frowns"I..sleep some...wot do you think they are..gonna do with us?"

Marek meanwhile is close to the area as he steps out of the boat for a bit of stretching his legs, "Make sure most stay with the boat Patch, I feel this is not the best area to stay in long or least go too far into the woods."He frowns they were low on some supplies but less than a week ...a few days from Redwall Abbey and the closer they got, the more he became uneasy it seemed.

Patch jumped off the boat and looked around "Why..I fer one am tried of the foul boat..we been on it too long"

The vixen Rayen just wagged her tail, "Stop complaining rat before I decide make you stop complaining."They had been on the boat 2 and a half weeks, almost 3 in fact heading back to Mossflower, finally they got to the river and followed it, it seemed the vixen didn't want to stay in the area too long and clearly not another moment with the rat.

Rigel grins "I fer one am glad of some exercise..not be getting much on boat, no my friends and the air be better here"

Not too far from the shore...in the cluster of trees ..was the two hares and the painted insane rats, the rat leader just chuckled "Hehhehehheh...time for bunnies get deaddead...dead like friend..hee hee...maybe more friends come join us..for lunch, hehehehehehh" Yeah it seemed breakfast for these rats were..well lets not think on that and just say the 3 rats that were dead are a little missing now.

Ewan whimpers, not something he wants to hear from these rats.

Zolomon glares at the little rats and there oversize leader"I say...chap..how about you untie me and then we see who is laughing at whom"

Ciocan arrived in the area with a group of about 5 hares as he scanned the area quietly and spoke "Careful..I am not sure wot we be up against" The hares nodded, one had a longbow as they looked around"I see or hear nothing sur"

The rat leader just smirked and then listened as a smaller rat whispered and then started laughing "Hee heee...visitors...more like transpassers...hee heee not allowed herehere, we welcome them, hee heheh" And soon the 14, if count the large leader, leave the two hares alone, mostly, and go to..well greet the visitors.

In the sky is the eagle Silverwing, he spots the movement of the tree rats and then flies off to give a report, though seeing the ship he goes to land nearby, for once and that's rare, a good non crash landing.

Marek spots Silverwing and arches an eyebrow as he walks over "Ms. Silverwing you seem to have improved on your landing, that is good to see"

Rigel starts to reach for his longbow and then sees its that one crash a lot eagle and walks over "Hello birdfriend, much better than non birdfriend I say...right Marek?"

Ewan sighs, glad the rats are leaving them alone but "Wait....the Long Patrol looked for us....oh no what if they kill other hares, or all the hares..then still us...then wot...ohhhhh"

Ciocan holds up a paw as he hears the laughter and narrows his eyes. He gets his war hammer out and nods to the 5 hares to be on guard.

Rayen stays on the boat, for now as she watches from the railing and yawns, still too early for her and some beasts are still asleep.

Zolomon frowns, "Well either its good or not good, those rats are small but tricky little blighters"

Silverwing speaks "See..manymany funny things in treetops....look like walking leaves with furlike."

Marek raises an eyebrow at this "Walking leaves with fur?"

The painted ones study the badger and his hares and then...they use the small darts to temperately cause them to not be able to walk for a couple hours, then insane laughter starts as the main rat leader steps into view "Getum getum good...hee hee..amke em stay and play..or die..hehehehe yeah die!"

Ciocan glaces up when he sees the rat and snarls, his war hammer in his paw"Come down here and say that vermin" One of the hares is hit in the leg with the blow dart and stumbles, another misses and stays close to the hare that was shot in the leg..the archer seems down for now as the other 4 hares are still very willing to fight.

Patch frowns"Walking leaves with....wait in trees...umm bossman we may want to go on upriver, this is not the best area to stay in, crazy insane little tree rats are nearby, trust me little but intense dirty fighters"

Rayen steps down from the boat "If they get close then we shot them down with some...arrows..."Her ears perk a little"Well some beast is having fun this morning"

Minsc frowns as he gets beside them"So do we be...going on elsewhere or stay put...do you think someone needs help?" Another hamster meanwhile has gone into the woods, not the best idea or the best timing as he soon sees the fight and frowns, quickly dashing back before he is seen.

Ewan listens "Fighting...there is fighting and...is that his Lordship voice..should we get loose, the..these things can't..can't hurt him right?"

Rigel leaves Marek's group and wanders off on his own.

Zolomon frowns as he has also been slowly getting the ropes loose with help from a brown trig..and finally his paws are free and he turns around to quickly untie Ewan"Do as I say Private...I know your a higher rank but I have more experense..just stay close we are leaving"

Marek looks to the woods and frowns, "Ms. Silverwing was there any fighting?" He ventures slightly into the woods and slows, well that answers his question.

Rigel follows the stoat and glaces at the hares and the large badger "Maybe they are having it...handled yes?"

The rats only laugh more and their leader grins "Make stripedone stay..heehehhehe...get him...not the bunnies..."They will use the small darts that temperately render one unable to walk an hour or so...yes a few still fire at the hares, but the badger seems the bigger threat and the rats blend it fairly well.

Ciocan snarls and slams the war hammer into the tree where a couple rats fall, and get a face full of a powerful war hammer that ends their lives, 3-4 of the darts sink into his lower right leg, but it doesn't slow him right away if anything it peeves him off. Not a good thing. One hare leaps forwards as a couple rats get close, one even managing to grab a rat.

Zolomon gasps and holds onto to a branch and is lucky in a tree beside them as he looks down, and looks to Ewan "Ewan..get a moving already..."He has his longbow and fires at a rat, the rat dies....well 3 rats are dead so 10 is left, and the leader...but where is the leader.

Minsc frowns as Chip is out of breath "There is...fighting father...they may need help"Minsc nods and looks to Marek"Well you are being in charge of this little group"

Ewan whimpers and follows Zolomon and watches, he looks down "Oh no..oh dear....wot do we do the fighting and the...all the..."Battle is bad..bad is battle as he shivers..oh wonderful, just wonderful..well Ewan is useless right now and to top it off he tumbles down the tree, hits a couple tree limbs and yet somehow avoids more than just a broken wrist as he groans and looks up into the face of two insane pained rats and screams.

Marek is in action right away "Patch and Mr. Chip stay on the boat and with Lilymoore..no but whys either"Oh he means business..."If these things get to the boat you keep her safe...anyone else follow me"Sword in paw he heads into the woods.

Silverwing follows the stoat and will attack these rats from above.

Rigel nods "I am for one following, an archer may be needed yes?" He follows the stoat onto the path.

Patch blinks and then pouts as he goes back to the boat"I am not a Baby sitter!!!! I better get something out of this or I will be very grumpy, you don't want me grumpy!"

Rayen glares at him, seems she will stay "Shut up..."She makes a face and holds her nose as she goes to grab the surprised rat"You need a serious bath..." This gets some cuss words from the rat who seems to be acting like he is carried off to his doom, in his eyes maybe he is.."Let go of me women....akkkk no!" The fox smirks"I bet Lilymoore can help make sure you all clean and smell nice and get you a nice outfit....yes.." And the rat is carried off...to his doom?

Ciocan manages to slam his war hammer at another rat before his left leg gives out on him, he snarls at any of these insane rats that come close and they get smart and get out of range of the war hammer.

The rats leader paces and then sees the two hare captives are loose and jumps up and down "No nonononono.....makeum dead...dead all beasts dead..." He gets out his short bow and nocks one of his arrows and aims it at the archer hare...Zolomon in fact..and fires.

Zolomon moves, the arrow misses just barely but pins his sleeve to the tree, he drops his longbow and frowns"Whoa...bit too barely close...."He carefully ties to get his cloak loose and gasps as he falls backwards once its riped loose and his foot paw gets entangled on a couple twisted vines and branches and he hangs upside down, "Ok...bally well..worse..."

Marek steps onto the area and takes in the fighting and then makes a quick decison and grips his his blade in his good paw and rushes at the two rats who lok ready to slay Ewan. Once there he will slice at the two rats.

Silverwing stays skywards and then dives, grabs one rat and gives them a flying lesson, but the rat sadly fails and hits the ground dead as the eagle circles around.

Rigel places an arrow in his longbow and scans.."Which..rat..let see...."He sees the large rat and grins, he takes aim and fires.

Ewan whimpers and covers his eyes, shivering and shaking in fear, he tenses up when the rats make a grueling sound and fall to the side dead, he opens his eyes to see the stoat....most likely blood on his blade...the two very dead rats and breaths in and out, tries to speak and passes out.

Minsc is ready to fight.."Hey rats who is starting the party..pained ..what the....is it some holiday?"

Ciocan snarls at the rats still around him, they still stay just out of his reach...the 5 hares stay close by, when a couple rats go to attack the hares, the hares fight back or least 4 of them do as one has to stay sat down for now. One rat backs up a little too close to the badger and learns his mistake too late as the rat falls sideways dead.

About 8 of the rats are still alive......and the leader. The leader whom has one more poisined arrow and goes to aim at Zolomon" hehehehehhehe.....dead hare..."He fires at the same time the fox's arrow hits him in the back and he falls to the ground in a crumbled dead heap. The other rats see this,drop any daggers,blow pipes and flee like mad!

Zolomon is still upside down and starting to feel a little ill from swaying back and forth, he then eeps as the 2nd arrow barely misses him again, he blinks as he looks down..."hey..little help here..someone?"

Minsc watches the rats flee, one he manages to slay when it got brave and tried to stab him, well the other 7 rats are getting out of the area rather quickly it seems as he chuckles "Ya cowards.....run like de cowards do!"

Marek looks up at the hare and shakes his head "Someone get Mr. Zolomon down..carefully"He looks down at Ewan, takes his pulse seeing that he has one and puts his blade away before picking the hare up gently, he then turns to see the badger Lord and the other hares, he speaks calmly knowing some may dislike him "Greetings....does anyone need any healing aid? I assure you I am a friend."

Ciocan is checked on by his hares that he shoos away "I am fine" He stands and takes a couple steps before almost, his right  leg still a little stiff feeling so he sits down, right away looking at the fox and Marek, war hammer griped "Who are you?" The 5 hares are ready to defend anyone if needed.

Rigel walks over slowly and goes to get Zolomon down carefully and chuckles "Hey  new view from upside down my hare friend..."He gets him to the ground and makes sure the hare is ok. He also keeps his distance from the badger.

Zolomon nods his thanks and frowns "Is Ewan ok sur?" He looks at Marek and tilts his head "Marek?" And he notices the small stumble.."Your..Lordship you ok?"

Minsc steps over "I can add to this, Marek is an ally..a friend..I am Minsc of Willowbark Abbey..some others are on the boat not far from here"

Ewan is fine just..passed out

Ciocan motions for one of the hares to take Ewan and nods to Zolomon "I am fine Recruit....get checked by Private Honeyfur..."Honeyfur is a healer and leads Zolomon aside as the Badger Lord stares at Marek "Marek Redthorn I am guessing.."He looks unsure of the stoat, he turns to the others "Lets get to camp..everyone to camp"

Silverwings lands nearby and...yep almost crashes "Many pained rats go run run....Silverwing kill another..6 be fleeing deep deeper into woods."

Zolomon salutes and lets a healer check on him, other than some bruises, some very sore wrists he is ok, he is more worried about Ewan.

Marek stays alert, standing straight and where he is. Quiet for now as he nods in reply to the badger."I think me and my friends coming to help you should..prove I am not a threat Mr. Ciocan. I do know some of your hares...may feel otherwise."

Minsc blinks "The Long Patrol is close by?" He smiles , then again he figured seeing as....yeah there more a bit more than what 5-7 hares here.

Rigel raises his paws "I too am not a bad beast...friend..yes I am being friend....errrr maybe I should tell Patch,Lilymmore and Rayen you be...at a camp of hares?" Yes wise they are hares not bunnys.

Ciocan snorts and stands again, camp is not too far and he can slowly walk, its unclear how much he trusts the stoat just yet.

Marek watches the hares and the badger lord before he replies to Rigel "Yes Mr. Rigel do that I am sure someone can escort the others to camp. I shall...be fine"

Rigel nods and heads back to the boat

Xander is at the camp..pacing back and forth, muttering as he should of just wait, he should of went

Zolomon decides to rush back to camp, "Xandy! A little help....come on!"

Minsc stays by the others and shrugs "He is in hurry I guess"

Ciocan sits down after a few steps and snorts, not one to ask for help but he may need a little till his leg is unnumb anyways. A couple hares are concerned..one carries Ewan on to camp...the passed out Ewan, to a healer's tent.

Xander right away hugs Zolomon"Your ok...wait who needs help..why...what happen?" Ok he notices the hare carrying Ewan and hopes in his mind the hare is just passed out and decides to see what is happening and seeing Ciocan sitting and concerned hares he goes over "Everything ok..Zolomon said some help was maybe needed?"

Marek is standing nearby "It would seem Mr. Ciocan needs a little help back to camp, or he can sit here for an hour or two but I do not think he wishes that. Hello Mr . Xander it is good to see you made it back to Mossflower"

Minsc smiles and waves "Xander me friend....you missed these insane rats in the trees....half died and so did the leader...and others bolted when their leader did fall"

Ciocan glaces at Xander and nods "I am fine....it seems the ..painted ones darts have numbing..stuff and makes it hard to move well...I can see where they could be a real problem for anyone out alone, or even with a group."

Xander frowns "Its...temporary..should wear off in an hour or two.."He offers to help him back to camp, he can manage it and let the other badger lean against him, he then blinks "Marek?!...."And he takes in the scars..one eye...healing burns and cant help it "You look like crap"

Zolomon catches up and stays off to the side and waits to see what is needed.

Minsc nods "Rather insane little beasts..crazy too."

Ciocan stands slowly and will allow the help "This is going to slow us down by at least half a day."He frowns not liking this "I will have to keep an eye out for those things on the way back to Salamandastron but I have a feeling they wont want to cross our paths again"

Marek looks to Xander "Your words are..an interesting choice Mr. Xander"He will walk slowly to camp, as they enter he right away gets..looks..some may remember him, the older ones, others do not. He keeps his head held high and stays close to Xander and Ciocan.

Zolomon nods "Yeah...also may be wise if Ewan ..maybe avoided any battles..he sort of....yeah not sure..hes ok right when he fell?"

A hare reports "Broken left wrist, some cuts and bruises....other wise ok...metal wise its unclear yet" Yeah the Painted ones may of..sort of broke Ewan.

Xander helps Ciocan to a place to sit and looks at the hares"The stoat is Marek Redthorn...yes brother to Ormaz...but Marek is not an enemy, he is a friend..an ally of Redwall now...he has turned to good and will not be harmed."

Ciocan sits down and clears his throat "No one is to harm the stoat or any with him. It would appear some of the Mossflower Defenders are....of vermin species, though I do disagree with this, it appears thy are on our side...as is Ferravale if I am remembering correctly has a peace treaty with the abbey, correct Xander?"

Marek stays quiet and standing where he is.

Zolomon sits down when a healer makes him and cheeked over, he listens quietly.

Minsc sits down close to Xander if he can."There is Rigel and Rayen..foxes, and patch...rather annoying rat, but friend..I think...he is rude though....and there is Lilymoore, and my son Chip...as well as Flea a shrew, a couple squirrel and a vole from Willowbark to help aid Redwall and Mossflower in its time of need."

Xander sits down and smiles at Minsc "It is good to see you again Minsc..I have missed you, we can catch up later on some things guessing some you know already"

Xander says, "Ans yes sur...Ferravale and Redwall has a peace treaty together....Blisa..a cat is Ferravale leader and I think she has been found and rescued along with some other slaves but we have no clue where they are at..""

Ciocan nods as he listens "We could of used some squirrels earlier but the eagle was very helpful, so was your small group Marek.....thank you"

Marek nods "Of course Mr. Ciocan, you are welcome."

Zolomon goes to sit by Xander after he is checked out, he rubs his sore wrists where rope burns are, another hare glares at him to leave the writs alone as there is healing paste on them so he does and sighs. He smiles at Xander.

Minsc nods to Zolomon" It is good to know the rats did not harm you too much my friend."

Xander nods, he sighs at the hare " I was worried Zolomon....like you said, same for me, I don't want to lose a friend..I am glad its nothing worse than a bit of rope burn and bruises...I heard a little of what those painted ones ..well do..."

Ciocan stands, the feeling slowly returning to his leg, but to make his hares happy he will go to the healers tent for a check up, he looks at Marek "I suggest you stay with Xander, not all of my hares trust you Marek..I will admit I am unsure but if Xander says you are an ally then ...you are,I trust him. I will not harm you and have ordered my hares to not harm you....now if you excuse me I want to try and get back to marching after lunch"That's in like 3-4 hours. He goes to to the healers tent.

Ewan is meanwhile in the healers tent, shivering and muttering and looking at the wall.

Ciocan walks over slowly after checked on by the hares and lays a paw on Ewan “Private Ewan?”

Ewan jumps and breaths in and out as he panics a little and then turns to see the badger lord and whimpers...

Ciocan frowns and sits by the hare, “It is alright Private...your safe..”

Ewan whimpers and  seems like a dibbun, or some broken beast and goes to hug the badger and hold onto to him tightly, shivering and looking freaked out at every....little ...noise.....he calms some as he seems to cry himself to sleep.

Ciocan frowns and just holds the hare till he falls asleep and lays him back on the cot, he stands and looks at Ewan before heading off for a meeting with his hares and then...back to Marching...marching ever close and closer to the abbey.

Ewan will march..somewhat by will end up carried after a short while....yeah Ewan is a bit...out of it still, it will take a bit of time till he is...somewhat normal again.
