SCENE: The path to Ferravale

CHARACTERS: DoraRose, LilyMoore, and Angela, female mice; Blisa, a female cat. Marek, a male stoat; Zaram, a male mole. Emyuil, a male mouse; Zarok, a male monitor lizard. Bolt, a male fox. Benar, a male squirrel. 12 spoofed Redwall guards. About 10 or so spoofed baddies. Spoofed Ferravale guards.

LOG:

Marek has on his chainmail, he has his sword sharpened as he storms out of the Mossflower Defender base, the mole Zaram runs along side him "But ...we should wait on the others shouldn't we?" The stoat speaks "They have the abbot and have killed another abbey beast, this doesn't wait" The mole just frowns.

DoraRose comes along the path, a group of fighters with her. Most are Abbey guards, who are off-duty and who volunteered to do this. She spots the stoat and calls out to him. "Marek!" A couple guards go on ahead to the village.

Marek looks at the mousemaid, "If you're here to visit leave, there is dangers out there that must be stopped."

Emyuil walks up next to DoraRose, and gives Marek a _look_. "We're here to pick up our kin and head back to Redwall," he says flatly before shouldering past the stoat and heading towards the village. Zarok trails in the mouse's wake, stopping on the other side of Emyuil's sister, pausing to lean on the staff he borrowed for this trip.

DoraRose growls and puts her axe in front of the stoat's face. "I am fully capable of taking care myself, Marek." Lowering Nightsong, she adds, "As my brother said, we're here to get Lily and my grandmother, and I wanted to know if you'd like to be in the escort to get them safely to Redwall." She gestures at all the 10 fighters still here that are off-duty Abbey guards. "I'm not taking any chances of my family getting hurt, and seeing as how you and Lily are such good friends and you're such a skilled fighter, I would give you the opportunity to get her back home safely."

Marek nods "Then I will help escort you and them back to the abbey. I know Mr. Zolomon and Mr. Xander are at the abbey..." He frowns well he can't have a meeting there "I will need to speak with them somehow and discuss how to deal with this threat to Mossflower before it gets worse"

Bolt is nearby with about 10 odd ferrets and a couple weasels, "Boss says to get more captives and says some abbey beasts were going towards Ferravale so let's go" The group nods and follows the archer fox, he smirks "This will be....fun"

Emyuil returns after a brief interval, with 2 guards, Angela, and Lily in tow. "Blisa sends her regards," he notes. "All set here, 'rose?" Zarok shifts from footpaw to footpaw, anxious to be on their way...

DoraRose goes to rub the lizard's back, smiling softly. "We can meet in the field on the other side of the ditch. Or something. We can work it out when...." LilyMoore rushes forward and goes to hug the stoat, it sort of turning into a tackle because she didn't slow down all the way before trying to hug him. Angela grumps at the guard who insisted on carrying her haversack. "I am fully capable of carryin' my 'erbs, you scalawag..." The Warrior turns her eyes skyward. Of course her grandmother is having a grumpy day.....

Marek allows the hug and smiles and then he is back to being serious making sure Lilymoore is close to him as they start walking, "Lets go" He says and he starts walking, his sword at his side.

Bolt is off the path and staying hidden, a rat has a dart tube with knockout darts as the fox grins spotting the group, "Oh this is gonna be REAL fun...Marek is with them, the boss hates him....I should SO kill him.....or..." He smiles coldly at an idea, oh yeah Quade told him a lot about those Redwall beasts.

DoraRose nods to her brother and they start to head home. Her axe in paw and her bastard sword at her side, the mouse is alert and ready to kick butt if necessary....both literally and figuratively. LilyMoore goes to hold the stoat's off paw so he can still draw his sword. She's not skipping or dancing along like she usually does; she understands the gravity of the situation, and is looking around a little nervously, but she trusts that her friends and family will keep her safe. Angela is glaring around at the surrounding forest. She's walking a little more slowly than usual; her arthritis seems to be flaring. She bends down and picks a plant, looking at it as they walk along. The guards, all well armed, are busy doing their guard thing, bound and determined to keep the non-combatants safe.

Marek lets Lilymoore hold his one paw and his sword paw is left free as he looks back and forth to the woodlands. He is alert as always as they travel along, he would chat but he has decided to stay quiet for now.

The vermin are close but Bolt has them wait, but then there is the old mousemaid, he grins and nods to the rat to knock out the old mouse as he aims for a guard that walks a few feet away, the arrow is fired and the guard falls into the bushes, another guard tenses up as his friend sort of disappears. Bolt smirks and nods for them to start to try and surround the group on the path.

Angela grunts as the dart hits her. Pulling it, she stumbles as the knockout herbs begin to take effect. Gasping, she yells, "RUN! We're....bein' attacked....oooh..." she collapses to the ground, her size and age helping the herbs swiftly render her useless. Dora turns, automatically crouching into a fighting stance. A guard grabs the old Healer and throws her over his shoulder as another grabs her staff that she dropped. Lily looks around, suddenly frightened. "Where's Joe?" She asks, noticing the missing guard. The Warrior mouse gestures for the others to run ahead of her. "We should get outta here! Run!"

Marek is already on the defense as his eyes narrow, he stays close to Lilymoore and a couple guards as the sword is now drawn and he is ready to fight, he spots the rat and his eyes narrow more as a growl forms and he starts to head to the rat, if it's smart it will run before it feels his blade.

And the rat is a moron. The rat manages to knock out a guard and flick a dagger at another, killing the guard before he feels the stoats blade and gasps....then "ATTACK!" is heard from Bolt as 10 ferrets and a couple weasels got attacking the rest, the fox goes to knock out another guard.

Emyuil draws his sword in a fluid, reflexive motion, totally silent, his only thought: /Too soon, vermin. The Half-Rat will taste your blood now./ Inside, he's laughing, but outward he's grim as can be. He moves towards Lily and Angela, aiming to circle to the left and cover the side opposite from Marek, nodding quickly to the stoat and calling, "You take right, I have the left, let's go!"
Darting over to DoraRose, Zarok raises his staff over his head and thumps it against the ground a few times experimentally, getting a feel for its weight. He's ready. He can do this. His eyes flit from foe to foe, looking for weak points to exploit...and for throats to tear.

DoraRose roars and attacks back, swinging her axe at shoulder level, which will probably cleave the ferret she's attacking into almost 2 pieces. War is messy business, yo. LilyMoore grabs her great-grandmother's staff and swings at a weasel. Angela is pleasantly unconscious on the ground. The guards are fighting valiantly now, a couple standing over the old Healer, a couple more at Lily's side.

Marek kicks the rat away once it's dead and scans the area, when the vermin charge them he goes to stab a ferret that gets too close.

Studies the group and then grins as he goes to quickly grab Lilymoore, first he stabs a guard beside her and signals a couple ferrets to keep the others back, if he is successful he is getting his tail outta here! He grins as a couple weasels manage to kill another guard and one is knocked out. (Bolt does.)

Rage boils up within Emyuil as he parries a ferret's swing at him. He saw Bolt coming already, and he WILL NOT let the fox get anywhere near Lily while even an ounce of breath remains within him. "OH--NO--YOU--DON'T!" he bellows with each swing of his sword, succeeding at battering the ferret aside and slicing down two-handed at Bolt's arm, as hard as he can, eyes blazing and blood roaring in his ears. "I'll kill you if you touch her! I'LL KILL YOU!" Bloodwrath is beginning to set in, and he shrugs off the reeling ferret's attempt at slicing his shoulder, the shallow cut feeling puny in comparison to the rending slash he's aiming at Bolt...
At the same time, Zarok spots an opening and dashes forward at a rat who's busily engaged with one of the Abbey guards. The lizard runs forward, screaming at the top of his lungs as he brings down his staff to crack against the rat's head. As the rat crumples, Zarok whirls around, leaving the Abbey guard to finish off the half-conscious vermin. Spotting trouble, he moves to try to cut off Bolt from escaping, baring his teeth and roaring savagely.

A scream echoes around the area. It's coming from Lily, who has dropped the staff after a feeble attempt at whacking the fox in the face. She struggles in his grasp, biting and hitting and kicking at her captor as she tries to escape. Dora, hearing the scream, turns, then charges, roaring as she allows her rage and fear to take her over. "LILY, NO!" The guards are busy literally fighting for their lives.

Bolt gets sliced and hisses low, he nods for the rest of the vermin to knock out Dora if they are able to and he smirks as he sing songs looking back "I got Marek's little friend I got Marek's little friend!" Over and over again he sings this line.

Marek eyes turn....ummmm well something as he snarls and beheads three ferrets as he charges after the fox, one weasel screams and gets headless as well as the stoat is making a beeline towards Bolt.

Screaming still, loud as he can, Zarok cannons into Bolt's lower back, sinking his claws into the fox's clothing and biting down savagely on his foe's tail, snapping half of it off, leaving him with a mouthful of fur but not much blood drawn. Then he's facedown on the ground, spitting the bloody half of a tail out and gagging, scrambling in the fox's wake...
Emyuil is too late to catch Bolt, and, roaring wordlessly in hatred and denial as the Bloodwrath takes him fully, rams his sword into the chest of the ferret he fought before, hard enough to rip straight through his foe and protrude from the beast's back, rips it out and slams it in again. And again, and again, yelling the whole time like a madbeast. Finally, he rams his sword through the dying ferret's eye, straight through the brain and splitting the skull asunder. Ripping his gore-covered blade free, he stands there, panting.

DoraRose chases after the fox, screaming wordlessly as the Bloodwrath takes her over. A dart hits her, and then another one. As she stumbles, she swings groggily, then crashes into an unconscious heap on the forest floor. Meanwhile, a group of Ferravale guards, led by Blisa, are hurrying this way to investigate the sounds of battle....

Marek growls as he finally runs out of energy and lost track of the fox thanks to a couple ferrets....who lost their heads over it. He goes back to check on the others, covered in blood but most of it isn't his.

Emyuil is covered in blood and gore, only a small amount of it being his own. The Bloodwrath slowly leaves him and he slumps to the ground as his mad strength deserts him--after he finishes off the last few vermin in the immediate area, their screams echoing loudly through the open air. Zarok returns shortly, having lost track of Bolt as Marek did, blood still staining his fangs and vest. He would cry, if he was physically capable of it, from sheer frustration and shame.

DoraRose is out of touch with everything. As is Angela. Blisa comes up with the guards and takes everything it at a glance. "We need to get you lot to the Infirmary. Emyuil, what happened? I mean....." she looks around, and then swears. "Where's Lily??!" She decides to help them get the uninjured ones to the Abbey; the injured ones go to the Infirmary for a few days. Of the 12 Abbey guards that came with them, only 5 are left; 6 are dead, and 1 is in a coma. As most of the village guards go to get a wagon, the cat kneels beside the male mouse. ".....did they take Lily?" She whispers, even though it's obvious. She wants it to not be true. Maybe the mousemaid is hiding somewhere. Right? Right? Right???

Marek will let Blisa escort them to Redwall, he needs to go calm down...and stab a tree repeatedly.

Emyuil is shaking, barely conscious. "They...they got her," he chokes out hoarsely, tears running through the blood matting the fur of his scarred face. "I tried...to kill them all, but they got away. A fox...don't know his name...grabbed her. Our lizard bit the scum's tail off at least," he mutters darkly. The aforementioned lizard runs up to Blisa, also covered in blood. "Now wot," he whispers brokenly.

DoraRose is gathered up and put on the wagon, as is Angela. Blisa swallows hard, striving to keep the crazy down. So much blood, so much blood......she has to stay calm and in control of herself right now. But it's really hard. Like, really, really hard. "Emyuil, get in the wagon. Keep your grandmother and sister comfortable until they wake up." She turns to the lizard. "First, we get all of you to the Abbey. Then....we inform the beasts there of what happened. I'll inform Bandit." She sends a messenger off to give the Head Guard the news. "I've already given him the task of finding skilled trackers to find your Abbot." She glares at a dead weasel. "We need to stop at /nothing/ until these monsters are caught and justice is served..."

Emyuil doesn't respond for a moment, staring hollowly at the ground. Standing up slowly, he moves stiffly towards the wagon, sheathing his sword with numb paws. Zarok nods at Blisa's instructions, saluting with his tail. "We'll killem all," he promises of the kidnapping vermin. "Once we find 'em."

"So we will, Zarok. So we will." Blisa stares at the wagon as it starts to trundle off.

Emyuil is still shedding a few tears as the wagon begins to roll, putting a blood-soaked paw on DoraRose to make sure she's still breathing--wiping the paw clean first of course, then doing the same for Angela. Next time, he promises himself savagely. Next time I won't fail. I'll kill every last one of these scum. With my bare paws if I have to. Every last one...Zarok sprints off in the wake of the wagon that apparently left him behind, and does a running leap onto the back of it, keeping an eye out for trouble. Like Emyuil, his thoughts are turned to retribution and vengeance.

~* Meanwhile, in a dungeon somewhere in the vastness of Mossflower Woods *~

Bolt manages to make it back...well half his tail ripped off as he quickly locks the mouse up and locks the door panting and smirks..."Hee hee..the look on the stoat's face...priceless"

Benar is sitting in the cell cross legged, his eyes closed and quietly murmuring under his breath as if holding a conversation with someone. Of course Minsc and Gorvenalus are both asleep so he has either gone mad or is actually speaking to people who are not there which is never a good sign for vermin when the Abbot of Redwall is involved.

LilyMoore has been struggling the whole way, giving up screaming to try and bite the fox instead. As the door is shut and locked, she attacks it with her bare fists, screaming, "LET ME GO! Let me go, you monster! LEMME GO!!!!" Because there's nothing like a screaming girl to break someone's concentration....

Bolt grins, "Ummm let me think...NO!" He chuckles "Wait till I tell the boss who I have, he will be so pleased with me"

Benar doesn't seem perturbed, but then the Abbot seems to be floating along in a serene, not getting despondent, being overly cheerful mood ever since he was kidnapped. It certainly is putting off the guards watching the prison. He does however open one eye and stare at LilyMoore then shakes his head, "Hello Lily my dear, as much as I admire your dedication, bell ringing lessons are cancelled until I am not kidnapped."

Bolt looks at the abbot like how can he be calm, he grins "I think your abbot is already losing his mind...that was quick. Maybe I can kill him...naaaa boss would get mad, then he did let me kill someone else, that was...fun" He growls at a rat to bandage his tail.

LilyMoore rests her sore, bleeding paws on the wood of the door. "Just you wait! Momma and Marek and Uncle Emyuil will stop at /nothing/ until I'm rescued, you'll see!" Turning around, she slumps down to the ground, leaning against the door. "Well, yeah. There's no bells in here." Looking around, she hits the door again. "You made the worst mistake of your life when you kidnapped me and Abbot Benar, do you hear me?! The whole of Mossflower will be looking for us! I have friends everywhere!"

Benar tuts softly and walks over and takes Lily's paws, "Do stop shouting Lilymoore, I expect a lady of my abbey to act with decorum even under duress. Now then let me look at your paws dear."

Bolt smirks "You have one less friend to look for you." He makes a motion with his arms "I put an arrow in her chest...she died." He smiles coldly "One less abbot beast to save you....it died..."He seems to sing song it, its funny to him "I killed the badger I killed the badger"
Bolt lets that sink in as he waves bye and keeps singing the same song as he goes down the hallway

LilyMoore lets the Abbot look at her paws as tears start to course down her cheeks. "Oh, Father Benar, Zinnia's dead! They killed her! Butterclaw brought me a message from Mom this morning telling us about it." Her paws aren't too bad, mostly just very scraped up and very bruised. They'll hurt like nothin' else tomorrow morning.

Benar shakes his head, "Oh my dear... that is very sad." he looks down at her as he wraps her paws in strips from his habit, "I shall grieve for her later. But I have already said my farewells and Martin is whispering his dream song into dear Magramba's ears. They shall all be punished for their wickedness."

LilyMoore just nods. She trusts the Abbot, and everything the Abbey stands for and teaches. She instead lets her tears flow freely down her face, and she goes to hug the squirrel, her terror and sorrow finally getting the best of her. Hopefully her hope won't fade in this darkness....

Benar wraps her in his arms, holding the young mouse against him, "And like you said, Quade and all his schemes are going to burn to the ground now they have touched us. Martin will not stand for threats to the peace and neither shall the living of Mossflower."

~*END*~

Are Benar and LilyMoore right? Will Emyuil, Marek, DoraRose, and the rest be able to find the captives in time, or will Quade kill them for sport? We'll just have to wait and see.....

Thanks for reading!
