SCENE: Somewhere along the River Moss, on the way to the seashore

LOG:
It is not morning just yet and most are likely still sleeping.Amd maybe sleep is not the best idea in some ways anyways.They are being watched and have been watched the past hour. 10 rats all short,brown and with daggers and a couple have arrows. They slip to the closet sleeping beast and go to try and grab them before others find out.

Keldorn yawns, he was last to be on watch and had drifted off maybe 5 mintues before he is rudely awoken and only manages a muffeled mmmmffffff before he is pulled into the nearby woods,but he still is gonna try his best to get a couple good kicks in.

Xander sits up and looks around with a frown as he steps out of his tent as something feels...off.He then notcices Keldorn is missing "Keldorn?" He lays a paw on his blade and looks around, he could just be overreacting.

DoraRose has let Donica have her tent. The Warriormouse was never comfortable having her own tent, preferring her little canvas lean-to whenever she was out camping. She has also just woken up to start preparing breakfast for her friends. She, too, can feel that something is off, partly because the shrew's muffled sounds woke her up, and also because of the tone of the badger's voice. The Gatekeeper is up in a fluid, fast movement, axe in paw, ready for action. "What's going on?"
Matilda is awakened by the sound of their voices, and she exits her tent, the Sword of Martin in paw. "What? What's happening?"

Donica frowns as she looks around a little worried,but she is awake now "I..don't..."A scream as an arrow barely misses her and she is quickly getting next to Xander as she dont have any weapons, not fun. Out of the treeline comes a couple of those short brown rats with daggers. The one that has Keldorn gets kicked rather hard and his grip loosens some.

Keldorn kicks again and tries to reach his raiper..there is a yelp as he slices the rats leg,spins around and ...we have one less rat now. Raiper in paw Keldorn comes back into view "We have company!"

Xander grips his blade and stands in front of Donica"Get into the tent...go and stay there, if this gets worse..." Hmmms running may be bad idea as they shouldn't be separated at all."Just stay in the tent." His blade is then drawn.

DoraRose doesn't wait for the enemy to come into view -- she's already following the arrow's path back to its source. So when the rats step into the clearing, they already have an angry, gigantic-axe-wielding mouse right there! "REEEDWAAAAAAALLLLLL!!" She swings her axe at one, then swings it the other way at another rat, fully utilizing the double heads Nightsong (the black axe) has. Her eyes start to turn red as the anger she has been trying to contain starts to boil in the heat of battle.
"Dora!" Matilda tries to call her back, but, realizing that's useless, stands beside the badger, protecting the haremaid.

One rat panics and runs,likely wont get too far if Dora is behind him. Another couple go to attck Keldorn,one fires an area at the badger and one taller one seems in charge and says..welll he is saying something but its not in any normal langage but must mean charge as thats what the total of 9 rats are doing attcking.

Donica gasps and gets quickly into the tent, she has got to find something to defend herself, she finds some rocks and peeks out, if needed she will throw a rock at any rat that gets too close.

Keldorn grips his rasiper, he sidesteps a rat and slices at a 2nd rat"You rats choose the wrong beasts to wake up!"

Xander angles his blade so the arrow clinks agaist it and narrows his eyes as he waits,grabs one rat by the neck and snarls, he is manageing, just barely to keep control of himself as he slams the rat a couple times into a tree and lets it drop, he glares at another 3 who back up a little when there buddy dies.

Matilda meets a rat as he charges, bringing up her sword to block and parry his strikes. The hedgehog moves with grace and speed, trying to stab her opponent in the heart, then move on to the next one, keeping near the tent the haremaid is hidden in.
DoraRose chases after her fleeing opponent, trying to chop him to death. A red mist descends over her sight, and the roar that rips itself out of her throat should tell her friends that she just went into the Bloodwrath. Once this rat is dead, she will go after another one and chop him up, too. Fun times!

Donica peeps out of the tent and frowns, a rat does get to close and she tosses a rock at him and gets his eye, well least he backed up...for a morment and the hare maid eeps as the rat gets in the tent!
The rat Dora chases is soon...he has no head, there is still 8 rats around camp now. Each attacking different beasts!

Keldorn narrows his eyes at a rat sidestepping and slices at the rat getting the rat's arm, the rat charges him so he gets into a tree and gets behind the rat to try and stab it from behind.

Xander takes a deep breath, trying not to lose his temper and snarls as the rat gets past him to the tent, that was a very bad idea as he goes to grab the rat....a rat flies out of the tent soon and the badger comes back out snorting. If the rat still lives its lucky and should run.

DoraRose returns to the fight in a flurry of axe swings, after no specific rat in particular but rather just going after whoever's closest. Her eyes are fully red now, and her face has turned into a mask of fury. As she swings her axe, her muscles ripple underneath the fabric of her tunic and leggings. She is really strong. "REEEDWAAAAALLLL!!"
Matilda would try to rescue the haremaid, but she's kind of stuck fighting the leader of the rats. She swings her sword at him to slice his chest open, the brings it around to chop his head off!

A rat going flying from the tent is all the distraction another needed to try and sneak back in. They were rather determined to grab up that hare it seemed. However they would only get so far as while they tried to sneak towards the door... a shining blade slices through and cuts them clean. The rat screams out now as it holds it's side, looking over to see the armored mouse standing there holding his handmade sword.

Donica gasps and then moves to the corner of the tent...she has got to learn some self defense or get a weapon maybe in case she knows some, she knows healing but still. The rat that tried to slip in the back looks in shock as he bleeds...a lot and backs up a little before trying to slice at the mouse,though its a little harder as the rat is holding his bleeding side and still trying to fight.

Keldorn manages to take out one of the rats and shakes his head "Rude rats...this must be the stream rats Wilson mentioned"

Xander finishes off the rat he threw out when it tries to leave, "I don't care...they need to die."

The rat Matilda was fighting is a bit headless, so the hedgehog Champion moves on to the next rat. "They probably are, sent to slow us up!" DoraRose steps over the bloody bodies of her enemies, charging at another one, swinging her axe and shouting her war cry. Unfortunately, she's also charging at her friends, unable to see them through the Bloodwrath. Seeing this, Matilda shouts out a warning. "Everybeast, out of her way!"

Donica gulps and ventures out to see...oh look headless rat as she stays where she is. Another rat soon dies at another's paw's and that leaves...seems to be 4 rats to fight and they seem to be rethinking being here.

Keldorn barely sidesteps a rat,but the rat does get a good stab to the shrew's lower arm as he kicks at a rat and trips, but the trip helps save his life it seems as a rat just about sliced at his neck...luckly it missed.

Xander frowns and keeps an eye on where Dora is, in doing so he doesn't see a rat thats about to fire an arrow at him!

DoraRose swipes at the archer rat, cleaving him in half just as he releases his arrow. However, she also slices through his bowstring -- will that be enough to make the arrow not hit the badger? It certainly is going off course! She turns, looking for any other enemies, the Bloodwrath still making her eyes red. Matilda finishes off her rat, and steps beside the shrew to help him finish off his rat...together!

Two rats fall and that leaves one.The one that fired the arrow...that arrow hits a tree close to the badger but yes,it missed.

Keldorn is injuried but not seriously on his lower arm.With help he will kill one of the rats left!..So appears there is..1 lone rat left.

Xander still grips his blade as he scans for more rats, he frowns at the arrow "Little too close"He mutters. So where is the last rat?

DoraRose charges at the remaining rat and swings at him. He will most likely be quite headless here in a few seconds. Matilda cleans her sword and sheathes it, reaching for the shrew so she can look at his injuries and bandage them up. "Dora, we're safe now! Please calm down!"

The rat screams and runs, he runs......well not as fast as he could of and soon falls over dead. His body hits the ground and his head rolls to stop a few feet away!

Donica watches and backs up, then goes to check on Keldorn "You...ok?" She will look at his arm if allowed.

Keldorn sits down and lets the hare tend to his arm, its not deep but may need a couple stitches and bandaged up of course.He nods "I will be ok lass..think we are ok for now."

Letting the actual Healer tend to the shrew, Matilda courageously approaches DoraRose, paws up in a placating manner. "Dora, we're okay, our enemies are dead. Please calm down." The reality of how all the enemies are dead was already getting through the mouse's Bloodwrath, and now she stumbles and falls to her knees as the Rage clears. Groaning, she looks up, her eyes back to normal. "...did I go Bloodwrath?" "Yeah, you did." The mouse moans and clutches her stomach. "Bloodwrath before breakfast....not good..." The hedgehog helps her up and over to her lean-to, bringing her axe over after a minute. "I think we should put up a guard while we rest here another day. I'll take first watch," the Champion says once she's done getting the mouse settled into her bedroll.

Donica frowns, she will finish with Keldorn and check on the others so she will likely eat breakfast a little later.

Keldorn sighs, rest sounds good as he is tried and sore and still recovering slightly from the whole Wilson showed up issue.He will skip breakfast but eat lunch as he falls asleep, and he surely needs it,

~*END*~

And so our intrepid heroes rest a bit. Dora eats something once breakfast is cooked, but then she sleeps for most of the day.

Stay tuned for the next log!
