2 Spoofed Ferret verin spoofed by Mistclaw

LOG:

   
Zolomon didn't give anyone time to say more, he got the basic details and just ran to Halyard, in his haste he forgot any weapons he would usually have with him after getting to the boat dock he asked varies beasts question after question and only found out he was too late to prevent what he hoped to prevent or even maybe be rash and get a boat and follow, though the idea was there...but he knew he couldn't.   

Mistclaw was bored, and boredom usually ment she went looking for trouble, or trouble to cause, she slowed when she seen the hare and rolled her eyes, the couple beasts with her, two tall ferrets seemed worried "Long Patrol hare...we should go elsewhere." The fox smirked "No...I didt come all this way to go elsewhere"She grins "Lets chat..."She speaks up "Yo....longears"
   
Zolomon perks up his one ear and looks over at the fox and shakes his head "Shoo, not in de mood right now."He has his uniform on as he left with it after a training session and didn't change out of it.
   
Mistclaw only walks closer"I don't take orders from hares. What is a Long Patrol doing in the village, let alone the boat docks"She smirks as the two ferrets chuckle a little "Yeah and this 'ere isn't the best part of the boat docks niether bunny"
   
Zolomon goes to lay a paw on, he then frowns and searches for his saber, "Oh...no..."And of course..yep the longbow is not with him either.He looks to the vixen and her two friends"My business not your's chap."It was late afternoon and he likely should get back, he starts to walk towards the village, trying to not walk too close to the 3 beasts"I was just leaving so you can do wot ever now"He sounds a bit depressed and annoyed at the same time, he is also tried but that's his fault.
   
Mistclaw normally would just step aside but this is getting interesting as she blocks his path "Did you just try and pull a....seemly missing weapon on me" One of the ferrets nods "He did Mistclaw...I seen him." The 2nd ferret nods in agreement "He has no weapons and like we do, not good odds I say"   

Zolomon stops and glares at the fox and the two weasels, a small group of rats stop loading a ship and watch to see what is going to happen.The hare makes a fist and looks to the group of 3 vermin in front of him"I am in no mood to fight, so let me pass and we all have a rather....peaceful night or some sort of night anyways"And he is starting to get a little angry now.   

Mistclaw just starts to laugh, "So he wants to...play, I am down for that"She nods to the two ferrets to attack him first, she will for now stay where she is.   

Zolomon ducks one swipe of a weapon and then steps forwards to punch the 2nd ferret in the face with a well planned out fist.He may not have his weapons but he has practiced some boxing.   

The first ferret looks impressed, the 2nd one gets a good punch to the jaw and stumbles back, this only gets the other ferret more willing to fight with his two daggers, the other shakes his head and attacks once more but has no weapon but his legs and fists.
   
Zolomon chuckles and barely sidesteps the dagger, the 2nd dagger slices off the tip of a whisker.He jumps over a kick and manages to keep his balance, though it does open up a chance to be knocked down.   

Mistclaw tilts her head and says something to the ferrets but it seems in some other language, they back off and then surge forwards together to knock down the hare.   

Zolomon has a moment to relax and then is suddenly shoved to the dock, he kicks up and hard at the vermin nearest to him"Get away!"
   
Mistclaw watches as one ferret gets an unlucky kick to the chest and is sent backwards, the other ferret has managed to avoid a kick and tries to hold the hare down as the vixen walks over, blade out as she smirks "You fight well with no weapons"   

Zolomon glares and goes to kick the other ferret off him as well as he goes to get up again, he may of been knocked down but he is getting back up best he can.   

The ferret erks as he stumbles back, he hisses a breath of anger, and the other ferret has gotten up again and a nod and the two once more go to knock the hare down.The vixen steps sideways and goes to trip the hare if he is back up.   

Zolomon has gotten up, sidesteps one ferret and kicks out at them, the other does crush into his shoulder but he pushes them back with a hard shove, the fox he was not expecting and about loses his balance but leans on a barrel and then kicks it towards the group.   

Mistclaw growls and is not impressed, the ferret that is pushed back goes to stab the hare's arm, the other is kicked and knocked out cold.The vixen meanwhile goes to sweep the hare's legs out from under him again, also slashes at him with her blade.
   
Zolomon tenses a little as the dagger does knick him, but it doesn't sink into his arm like they wanted, he steps back as the blade just barely misses his snout, but his legs are hit and he is sent falling backwards onto his back and the wind knocked from him.
   
Mistclaw uses the surprise to quickly act, she places a footpaw on his chest and the long blade goes to his throat, the one ferret stands beside him and the other is a little out of it   

Zolomon starts to get up and the whole blade at his throat and instead lays still as he looks up at the fox , and the ferret to the side as he speaks "Ya missing a friend seems....wot ya want of me?"   

Mistclaw chuckles as the other ferret is now here "Have I? Seems he is right here, you on the other paw seem...in serious trouble, outnumbered and one could care less what happens "She motions to the rats and well ok one weasel seems worried and an otter seems willing to help but doesn't want to make matters worse.   

Zolomon frowns, he has been in this sort of trouble before.He sighs as he knows better than to try and kick or get up,"Ya didn't say...wot ya wanted from me."   

Mistclaw grins "Kill you maybe, or...try and get some coin ...you seem important, we could get gold for a return, or find another who would pay even more for such a prize....a fighting hare."
   
Zolomon listens, he seems to relax "Kill me...get gold, like I care...either way it likely ends bad fer ya as well lass".   

Mistclaw smirks as she looks down at the hare "Oh? Worse for me, how is that your the one with no weapons, outnumbered and a blade at your throat"   

Zolomon is on the ground, some bruise and a small slice to his arm.A blade at his neck as he lays on the ground, the vixens foot paw on his chest and a ferret on either side of him...all staring down at him.   

Felicity is worried. She had heard from the sentries that Zolomon had left the Mountain without his weapons like some kind of nincompoop. So she decided to track him down, which was easy until she reached the docks. Stopping the beasts she either knew personally or knew were at least not hateful towards the Long Patrol, the haremaid eventually learned where her fellow Runner has, well, run off to.

Meanwhile, the badger Ciocan also found out what was going on, and had joined her on the way (although he let her do all the talking, since she seems to know her way around here). The come around the corner to where Zolomon is being attacked, but have yet to look down that direction. Any second now, though...   

Mistclaw smirks "So...what to do with him"One ferret speaks "Kill him...he make a nice rug..." The other grins "Sell him, ransom him we could get tons of gold right?" The vixen rolls her eyes and presses the blade at the hare's throat just enough to form a trickle of blood"I dont like Long Patrol hares, you see.....one killed my father...course he was part of a horde that was planing to take over the land but hey we each got our hobbies" She smiles coldly "I could end your life....be fun and easy or have myself a rather interesting slave wouldn't that be justice"   

Zolomon of course can't see much but the fox and her two ferret friends.He manages a glare and then frowns as he is tried, worn out and depressed, likely uses a lot of energy to get to the docks and being a dummy stayed up late night before and had to wake early..had a training drill and rushes off to....where here he is now "Just...do wot ever and stop talking so much...."
   
Felicity points to the group. "Oh, Sah, I think I may 'ave found 'im!" Ciocan looks and sighs, then draws his hammer from his belt. "Well, looks like a party. Should we crash it, Sergeant?" The Runner nods. "Aye, Sah. Rude o' 'em t'not invite us, wot! OI, YOU!" The haremaid waves to the trio of vermin as she and the Badger Lord come walking towards them. "Let 'im go an' nobeast get 'urt!" "Probably," the badger rumbles, eyeing them angrily.   

Mistclaw keeps her attention on the hare as she chuckles "Oh ...no one hurt, he is likely to get hurt" One ferret looks up and seems to pale when he sees it's not just a hare...."Ummm...Mistclaw.....there is a ummm"..."I don't care." The other ferret is a bit more brave or maybe foolish and grins, he gets his dagger and goes to attack the haremaid.   

Zolomon closes his eyes but slowly opens them at voices but stays still as that blade is at his neck still and listens as they talk.Besides he is not sure trying anything would work well, could backfire and get him killed before anything even happens.   

Staying out of the way, Ciocan hefts his hammer, a growl forming deep in his massive chest. "You should care, vixen. And look at me when I'm talking to you!" Unfortuneately, the fox still has a blade to his hare's throat, so the Badger Lord is still having to try and figure out how to get her away from Zolomon. Felicity, meanwhile, draws her sword and blocks the ferret's dagger, lashing out with a vicious kick to his stomach with her extra-strong hind legs.   

Mistclaw just smirks, the one ferret gets his blade blocked and his kicked backwards into the other ferret. The vixen sighs "Kill who ever it is....now!" The one ferret gets brave and again attacks! The wiser one frowns "Its a stripe dog...a very VERY TALL...grumpy...."He then puts two and two together...badger...with another of those eLong Patrol hares, "Umm....I think its...de like...we should run...."It's then she finally turns to look and then look up at Ciocan.
   
Zolomon stays still for now, not much he can do with a blade at his neck or least he isn't willing to try and move much just yet.   

Felicity goes to block the ferret's swing again and counters with a swift set of slices and jabs of her own! Ciocan smiles a tiny bit as the vixen finally looks at him. Just what he had been waiting for! He swings his mighty hammer, intending to knock her away from Zolomon (if she dies in the process, then bonus points for him). "You should listen to the ferret. It's always best to run from a Badger Lord! EULALIA!"   

Mistclaw is a bit surprised at his size, it's that ...that gives him the chance to make her get out of the way of that hammer! It does hit her shoulder and a crack is heard but that's better than her head,her blade was droped to the side as she backs up now.The one ferret fighting the hare maid gets a good slice to the chest and tumbles backwards, he then makes the mistake of going to slice at the badger.The other ferret just dives into the water and quickly swims the heck away from the area as the vixen holds her arm and glares at the badger Lord as she slowly stands up .   

Zolomon takes the chance to quickly roll to the side and scoots a little ways away from the vixen and ferret.He isn't hurt but for some bruises and a small cut to his arm. He is sore through from being knocked down earlier but he can recover from a sore back.   

Felicity spots the ferret attacking the badger and goes to stab him in the back. "Sah, watch out!" Ciocan's attention is understandably diverted away from the vixen as he's attacked by what's probably the dumbest ferret this side of Mossflower. He roars and slams his hammer down, trying to smash the ferret on the head!   

And the ferret.....is of course killed, the badger doesn't miss.The vixen slowly stands and holds her shoulder, a glare and she snorts as the other ferret swims off.She is smart and backs up a little "Fine.....stripedog you win, but this isn't over"
   
Zolomon meanwhile is slowly standing up and stays off to the side.Dirt covers his uniform as he stays where he is watching the fox to see where she goes, he is also silent.   

Felicity stands ready to attack the vixen at a moment's notice. Ciocan kicks the dead ferret into the water and points at the fox with his hammer. "I should kill you now. But I won't. If you're not gone by the time I count to 5, I will kill you like I did that ferret. ONE! TWO! THREE..."   

Mistclaw looks like she may want to still stab the badger but she chooses wisely and quickly leaves, its not a bolt, more a sort of jog away and disappears in a crowd that was here , thats now goe back to what ever they were doing before.   

Zolomon leans agaist one of those poles by the dock and sighs, he likely would of been dead or missing if they had not come when they did,He still is rather silent and looks at the ground.   

Felicity sheathes her sword and shoos the remainders of the crowd away. Ciocan slips his hammer back into his belt and gives Zolomon a LOOK. "You are out of the Mountain without orders, while still on duty, without your weapons. You better have a good explanation for your conduct, Corporal." He's obviously still angry. It's good for everyone he didn't get mad enough to go Bloodwrath, that's for sure.   

Zolomon frowns, he had hoped it go different, no not capture or death....that wasn't the plan, no it was to bring back a hare, Zeldove. He speaks "I was....going after Zeldove...sur...talk her into coming back or...maybe would of..."His one ear droops"Followed her onto ta wot ever boat she...went on."He dosen't wipe away any tears, he just stands a little straighter even if he is sore and seems ready for any possible punishment.   

Felicity comes back and stands behind the badger, not wanting to interrupt. So instead she just watches to make sure nobody comes and bothers them. Ciocan sighs. "Another hare leaving for whatever reason," he mumbles to himself under his breath. Shaking his head, he looks the buck up and down. "You could have at least taken your weapons and told somebeast where you were going. Instead you went off recklessly and we had to track you across the shore. If it wasn't for the Sergeant's knowledge of Halyard and the creatures here, we may not have found you in time." The badger sighs again. "I know you have lost much, Corporal. First Tarsa, now Zeldove. I am truly sorry. But you can't be putting your life and the lives of those who try to find you at risk lilke this. You will be put under General Quinten's command while your Major and I decide what to do with you."   

Zolomon nods, he is not looking forward to Quinten getting this update, and yes he didn't think and he knows that now. "Sorry...sur." He frowns and will follow them back to the mountain, he knows what could of happen and he sint sure if it would of been just not finding him, or finding him dead, at the time he didnt care but he is least thinking a bit better now, either would of been bad."We should....head back...."
   
Nodding, Ciocan leads the way. "Quite right, Corporal. Let's go home." As the hares follow in the massive badger's wake, Felicity looks over at her fellow Runner. "'M sorry, Zolomon. 'Tis so 'ard. I wish I knew why she left. Are y'gonna be alright?"   

Zolomon doesn't reply right away and then finally does "I...wanted to find her.....and when didnt I..."He shrugs "I started to hed back and the fox and ferrests came....they either was gonna kill me or ransom me and I..didnt really care which really"He sounds so depressed.   

As Ciocan continues to lead them back home (pretending to ignore all the vermin who shrink away from him out of healthy fear), Felicity glances at her friend in concern. "I'm sorry, Zolomon. I really am. This is just so 'ard." They walk on for a little farther before she breaks the silence again. "Do y'not 'ave anythin' left t'live foh, though? I mean.....'ow would Xandah 'ave reacted if 'e'd 'eard y'd gotten killed or worse 'cause o' this"

Zolomon shrugs "Don't know.....sad...like Xander would find out that easyly."Hmmms no Xandy nick name, he looks at Felicty finally "Sorry Sargeant....guess if I died or disappeared...almost did, life isnt always fair...I hope your still remains fair."He seems..emtionless now as he walks with them.   

Felicity is getting really worried now. No nickname? Calling her by her rank? THIS IS REALLY BAD. "Aye, 'tisn't faih. My life 'asn't been faih, eithah, love. I almost lost it when m'parents an' brothah died. But y' 'ave t'keep lookin' foh th'good, oh ye'll be lost f'revah. Promise me ye'll try, please?"   

Zolomon walks on in silence till they get to the mountan, does a sulute and looks at the haremaid with a frown "I...can't...righ tnow..I'm...sorry"He then turns and walks off to find the General, this should go well.   

Okay, Felicity is worried, 100% of the way! Ciocan lays a paw on her shoulder. "Give him time, Felicity. He'll get better with time and care." The badger is also concerned. They head back into the Mountain to their separate duties...
