Sand Lizards Are Annoying-Long Patrol Log

In this log Flint helps fight off sand lizards and there is injuries and fighting ya

===Near the river Moss and the West Coast==

Xander groans as he comes to and right away notices chains and the muzzle and looks around, his first concern his friends, he can worry about Bo and the other lizards later.   

Zolomon is tied up close by and when he sees Xander move he speaks out “Xandy...Xandy"   

Flint looks over, he seems rather calm as no since in getting too worked up.   

Xander seems glad to see the hares are alright but where is "Leafeyes....?" He frowns not able to be too loud with the muzzle on and talking is a little hard but not too hard. Its late afternoon and they have traveled a half day away from the coast before docking near some sort of cave or something. 7 lizards are nearby and a tall one on the boat who seems in charge maybe as he orders the other lizards around "This only quick stop boys..." Xander watches them and glares he only hopes Leafeyes got away somehow.

"I swear Lalia, one of these days yer cooking is going to get me killed." Aata leans heavily into her spear, the otter-ess is struggling to regain her composure after the long hike northward due mostly to the amount of girth wrapped around her squat frame. Her companion is much slimmer, dressed in a white vest. "Well, maybe if you didn't eat so much of it..." Lalia replies.   

"Well, that too. But I mean't this walk out here to get what again? Mushrooms? Do these mushrooms even exist?"   

"Quite! My genius will not be mocked! They are needed for a new recipe! And they...they exist. The weasel who sold me this map said they did..." The pair of otters are currently walking along the shore, making no attempt at keeping themselves concealed.   

Zolomon frowns "I say ya stupid lizard ya best release us, we know powerful beasts"   

Flint frowns "Best not anger them.." His ear perks up as he thinks he hears voices but he isn’t too sure.   

Xander glares as the main lizard, Bo comes forwards "So...seems I got the best of you hmmms.."He then is alerted to the otters and for now forgets the badger and points to the otters as 3 lizards go towards them"Take care of the company!"   

The otters seem quite oblivious to the lizards and the danger they represent. They are too busy arguing about the source of the 'map' they acquired. "You spent our MONEY on a false map? That's why we are out here? SERIOUSLY?"   

"I spent our MONEY on a REAL map for a REAL recipe that will bring us MORE money later on!" The two literally but heads against each other, growling and hissing even as the lizards approach.   

Zolomon frowns as this can't be good and most likely a little too far to warn them of any dangers so he looks around for a way to loosen the ropes and get free, he sighs when he finds nothing.   

Flint frowns as he scans the shoreline and sees the otters and the lizards before calling out "Look out!"   

Xander grumbles something and watches as the lizards get closer to the otters. The lizards have spears and the knockout darts they have yet to use. The badger ties to pull the chain loose and growls, he doesn’t want to damage the boat but he also wants lose.   

Bo narrows his eyes and hisses "Thisssss is not happening....I will NOT have my day ruined again kill the stupid otters..." One lizard speaks "Do otters taste good?" Bo smirks "Maybe"   

Slowly the otters realize that they are about to have company, eyes slowly glancing at the lizards before turning to each other. "Oh! H-hello there!" Aata is the first to say, stepping in front of Lalia. "So nice to see you! Run. Fancy meeting others out here wot? Run. Is there anything we can-" And then the otter lashes out with her spear, using it like a club and aiming it at the head of the nearest vermin while shouting for Lalia to, "RUN!"   

Zolomon frowns "This is not good. we have to get loose and help them or hope someone comes along and helps?"   

Flint ear droops, he scans the boat has to be something in this place to loosen ropes, he looks at the lizard guard beside them and goes to try and trip them, one less lizard is good right.   

Bo orders the lizards to grab the otters, one lizard fails and is killed instantly leaving 6 , 3 on shore and 3 on the boat and one of those is tripped and knocked out as they slam into a barrel of picked fish that spills all over, he drops his spear beside Flint. Bo twitches and them hisses low he will just do this himself, "I always do things myself help around here stinks!"   

Xander meanwhile manages to loosen a bolt on the chain and get it loose, cool a weapon as the two lizards on the boat take notice...oh boy the badger is loose..."Boss!!!!"   

Lalia lets out a shriek as she turns and tries to dart away from the lizards. Aata stands her ground, as both a warrior and...the simple fact that she would be too heavy to out run a bunch of lizard pirates, bandits, crazy salesmen. "Back! All of you get back!" She thrusts her spear threateningly at the lizards while back tracking a bit. "I don't know who you are or what you want, but I know that the first beast to come near me is DEAD!"   

Zolomon can only watch, hey he is still tied up here after all. As pickled fish is spilled he sighs "Can this get any worse?" He mutters.   

Flint grins and uses the dropped spear to cut the ropes and works till they come apart and stands up. He then uses the spear as a weapon, the one lizard is knocked out but two are still on the boat and there is Bo, he goes to knock out one of the closer lizards before they get off the boat.   

The two lizards left back off a little and look to one another, Bo glares from the ship and starts to head down when he hears the alarm and barely ducks the whirling chain. One more lizard is knocked out by Flint and so one and Bo remains and the two on shore.   

With a warrior's yell the obese otter lunges forward, her spear tip sent towards a lizards midriff as a faint before she brings the pole arm back, twirling it over her head to smack him across the face. Lalia helps by keeping herself out of danger, diving behind a sand dune.   

Zolomon looks over at Flint “Untie me!" He wants to help fight not just stay tied up.   

Flint tries to circle around one lizard and then stabs forwards with the spear, he jumps back and kicks another spear towards Zolomon so he can use it to get free.   

Xander growls at the tall lizard known as Bo and swings his chain at him again. He tries to take note where the still fighting lizards are.   

One lizard gets a bad gash across the face and falls onto the sand and the other runs back to the boat. Well on the boat is a couple unconcious lizards and one is dead on shore but Bo is still here and fighting the badger. He gets the chain wrapped around his arm and goes to yank it forwards to head bunt the badger.   

Aata has no idea who these lizards are, only that they apparently have captives and they are a threat to her charge. A charge who is no longer in danger. She backs off, spear at the ready to thwack a beast who gets to close.   

Zolomon uses the spear kicked at him to free up the ropes and then stands up "I say...we fight these scums" He aims for the nearest lizard only he isn’t aiming to knock out when they try and stab him, he stabs back!   

Flint grins at the other hare and then notes the other lizard getting back to the boat but he also knows Xander may need some help so he goes to sneak up on Bo and aims to either give him a serious wound or knock him out with the spear   

Xander is a little surprised at the lizards strength and tries to not get forced forwards but he wasn’t expecting the chains to be yanked either as he groans slightly dazed. His left paw has a sort of burn on it now when he tried to keep ahold of the chain he now drops for the moment.   

Bo smirks as the lizard on the shore makes it to the boat"Boss..boss the otters...the..Look out!" Bo spins around just in time to swipe a clawed paw right at Flint!   

Aata stands back from the boat. She could just leave the beasts to their fate, she /should/ leave the beasts to their fate. This is not her concern, but... "Look alive hare!" she shouts, adjusting her grip on her spear to throw it. She hesitates only for a moment to line up her shot before launching the missile at the lizard attacking Flint!   

Zolomon manages to stab the one lizard that attacks him causing one less lizard on the boat as he grins and then looks over and gasps "Hey..Corporal..back away!"   

Flint raises an arm up to block his neck as the claws sink into his arm instead and blood flows down his arm and he tenses in pain, the claws also get his left cheek and barely misses taking out an eye but he is blinded by blood and tumbles backwards. The claw mark lines are just beside his eye but it still makes the blood go over his eye so it’s hard to see just yet how bad it is.   

Xander growls and takes a deep breath trying to not lose it and looks ready to snap the lizard leader in half.   

But hey no need as a falling spear sinks into the lizard leader and he looks on in shock and horror and falls over sideways very much dead. The other lizard panics and bolts off the ship screaming for his mother!   

Zolomon rushes forwards to help the hare and press his now off tunic to his wound as he frowns "He needs a healer! I..I can get him back to Salamandastron really fast:" And that’s true running at top speed the hare can take an hour when most may take 4 hours to get somewhere.   

"Well don't look at me. I'm only good at sending beasts to the healer, not fixing them up." Aata growls, stomping towards the boat. She struggles to clamber up the side. "Actually, yes, look at me. What in TARNATION is going on here?" She demands, grabbing her spear and yanking it free from her victim with a loud SpLoRcH.   

Flint shivers and isn’t much for talking right now as blood flow slows some but not totally stopped yet. It could be worse if he hadn't blocked his throat....well he would be dead right now. But it’s clear he needs a healer very soon.   

Xander frowns and taking another deep breath he walks over to flint and goes to use his headband as a temporary bandage on the hare's face, one of the knocked out lizards wake up as Xander glares at them and so they faint. He clears his throat "Some..lizards we run into on the way up here...they came back with some extra friends."   

Zolomon frowns and stays close to Flint "I can get him there....or the village it is closer"   

"Riiight. Well, I'm going to head off before they decide to bring back even MORE friends." Aata wipes her spear off on the shirt of a dead sand lizard. "I trust you lot can tend to you and yours." And with that the otter heroically walks off the ship, landing on the sand with a loud PLOP. She walks away from these crazy beasts, making no effort to help them. They got themselves into this mess, she is going to quietly exit before they can no longer get themselves out of it.   

Flint looks between the two, well he tries through very blurry vision and fights the urge to just pass out.   

Xander frowns, why does he have to think so quickly and this is the 2nd time he has had to act and act now, the first time being to stop Quade’s 2nd in command from going to behead Benar and now there is this, he nods as he manages to get the annoying muzzle off and opens and shuts his jaws to test them before speaking a lot better "oK Zolomon go..take him I will catch up" He stays calm but is clearly worried and he still needs to find Leafeyes too. “Go"   

Zolomon nods and making sure the headband is tight and the tunic around the arm, he carefully picks up the other hare and makes a quick dash up shore, he will most likely pass out after this energy is used up but hey its save a life time!   

Flint stays awake for most of the trip but passes out shortly before they get to whatever infirm they are heading too.   

==Infirm of Salamandastron ===

Zolomon is quick, he is fast...for just so long and seemed relieved when one of the patrol runners took over and he passed out from exhaustion  and laid on a cot while healers tend to Flint, one also checks Zolomon just in case.   

Flint groans as his arm is tended to and the slice to his left cheek, he opens his eyes to look around and tenses up in pain, the claw marks on his arm are deep and hurt. "Hold still..." A healer says as another asks what happen. The hare frowns still la little out of it..."Lizards...did we win?" How did he get here oh yeah the other hare.   

Zolomon sits up slowly, his legs still hurt "Yeah...those two otters speared that thing and I was told by Xandy to get ya here he is...ummm" He frowns, he hopes the badger is ok as Zolomon runs fairly fast "Looking for Leafeyes..."   
The door opens and Quinten sticks his head around the door, he frowns at the two younger hares then comes the rest of the way into the room, "I heard you were back, what happened to the pair of you?"   

Flint frowns as he holds still as his arm is sewed" Ambush of sand lizards...but most were taken down included the leader...was helping Xander..get..ouche..escorded guess change of plans. Cause he was here cause of news he had" Maybe Quinten heard or not heard. He knows Ciocan knows already.   

Zolomon waves "Hallo sir...yeah dumb lizards but taken care of with some help from a couple sea otters."   

Quinten asks, "I am afraid I haven't heard any news from Xander, what did he come to tell us?" He moves further into the room and shuts the door, "And the lizards... yes they have been growing pesky of late"

Flint nods, he holds still as his arm is now bandaged and they clean a cut on his face and move so he can speak, "Guess the abbey had some trouble with an insane squirrel but it was taken down...one of the beasts this insane beast killed was the abbey recorder or maybe she wasn’t recorder at the time but...”

Zolomon frowns and stands slowly grabbing a chair..ok still a little wobbly on the legs but he will be fine.   

Quinten asks, "That is terrible news," He frowns, "Wasn't the abbey recorder Master Xander's adoptive mother? Ah what was her name...Zinnia? I remember meeting her... that is a very sad thing. I am glad the Abbey is safe now however," He then catches sight of Zolomon's wobble, "Should you be up and about Zolomon?"

Flint says, "Yes Sister Zinnia..I am unsure who is recorder right now I suppose random brothers or sisters taking turns."
   
Zolomon frowns "I am...whoa...ok yeah should sit" He sits and rubs his feet, too much running but he saved a life "Sudden running is not always good ya know but I RUN VERY VERY fast chap, a runner near the doorway took Flint for me and I got helped inside...also let them know Xandy and one other was still out there guess they will make sure they get back here ok.."   

Quinten asks, "Well I am sure they will render what aid if they are seen, our sentries tend to be keen eyed," He frowns, "Do we know what direction Xander went in? We could always dispatch a patrol to locate him and help him out."

Flint says, "We were up shore, little past the village"   

Zolomon nods "I am sure he is ok...well hope so anyways...guess me and Xandy gonna stay an extra day...or two before head back home" He yawns before falling asleep, sleep is good right now as he is worn out.   

Zolomon leaves Flint's group and wanders off on his own.   

Quinten says, "Hmm that might be too far to send a patrol too... and be of any use," He walks over to Flint's bedside and sits down in a chair, "How are you anyway Flint?"

Flint sighs, "I..could be worse." He smiles a bit "I put my arm up to block my throat when the main lizard attacked or well...I may of been carried back dead instead of alive, still may have some trouble with a longbow for couple weeks looks like." He also has a nice claw mark on his face barely missing his eye. "The one otter threw a spear at the lizard and killed it...couple other lizards died and couple knocked out but they sort of fainted when they saw a badger there so hopefully the otters took care of the last couple lizards"   

Quinten says, "Well I am glad you did not get brought home dead, I would much rather you were stuck in here for a few days," He grins, "I'll see to it that some proper grub is brought up for you, not that doctor approved mush they always try to foist on us."

Flint nods "That would be good as they try ta starve us in the infirm. Lord Ciocan should really have a word with the bally healers...I mean us warriors need food to heal better..I mean would they try and starve his lordship if he was in here one day...I bet not"   

Quinten says, "Oh I bet they would, those healers are always telling me what is good for me and what I should and shouldn't be eating," He pats his stomach, "I keep myself trim and fit... no way am I going to follow their diet plan it is the most boring thing I have ever heard wot."

Flint chuckles a little "Well my niece can sneak me in food too if needed."   

The door to the infirmary creaks open slowly, and a peculiar, one-and-a-half-eared head peeks into the room. Seeing that it is currently occupied, Monty slips into the room quickly then shuts the door behind him. "Oh, er...sorry, gents, didn't realize the infirmary had guests this afternoon." The young hare goes about his business as he retrieves a few things from one of the shelves. "Don't mind me, just getting my daily medicines n'whatnot. Gotta clean up a few cuts n'scrapes from the garden." He smiles, and upon further examination he seems to be a little on the dirt-covered side, as per usual. It's what working in the garden usually does.
   
Flint waves "Well I am stuck here....Quinten is nicely visiting me.." He yawns as he lets some needed rest overtake him.   

Quinten inclines his head to Monty, "Quite alright, Monty isn't it?" the older hare smiles softly, "How are our gardens looking this season?" he turns to say something to Flint then leans forward as the buck yawns and tucks in his blankets the moves over to Monty to let the hare rest.   

Flint falls the rest of the way asleep.

Not much else happen , Quinten and Monty let Flint rest and few hours later Xander came back with Leafeyes so all was well.
