Grave Robbers At Midnight!-Ferravale Log

It was dark and a chill was in the air. The setting was the Ferravale Graveyard! No beast usually came into here, it was spooky in here, more so in the middle of the night!

Two beasts walked with a shovel and a bag. A tall rat and a short stoat walked past the many tombstones.

"Why are we in 'ere again Ray?" The rat asked.

"To find some treasure, beasts sometimes get buried with valuables, for example ..." He pointed to the tombstone...Scioto. "This my dear Molly is where we get rich, he was once the leader of Ferravale"

Molly frowned "I..I don't know...could be a real bad idea Ray, maybe we should like...leave"

Ray just chuckles "Its pitch black and no one is gonna catch us, everyone is asleep in beds, the guards don't come in 'ere....even in the daylight, and the Chieftain is asleep...in her bed or least home"

Molly nods "Fine fine let's just hurry this up already"

They dug into the grave, they dug for a good hour till they finally hit the coffin. They seemed to debate on opening the coffin and then they did.

There were bones, some old cloth...nothing much really as Scioto's blade was given to his daughter. There was a ring of some value and maybe the cloth was worth something, or the boots but they were old, like really old now.

Molly looked inside and made a face "Well...not much treasure...the ring?"

Ray chuckles and goes to reach for it "Worth something, ha ha.."

Then a voice from behind spoke to them" Who dares disturb the dead!" The voice was rough sounding, deep, and sort of cold sounding. The owner of the voice was very tall, his clothing blended in with the dark as did his brimmed straw hat.

The two beasts slowly turned around and screamed loudly!

Markalaway grabbed each beast with one paw, he got in the rat's face "Drop the ring" The voice cold, full of ice, and deep...haunting even.

Ray quickly dropped the ring and shivered "W..W...W..WHAT are you?"

Molly whimpered and just gulped, she tried to speak and could not.

"Ya worse nightmare come true!!!" Markalaway replied as he glared at them, his one missing eye clearly showing in the faint moonlight. His grip on them tightened as he then spoke "Fill de grave back...."

The two quickly did so and looked at one another and then started to bolt!

The two didn't make it very far as Markalaway caught up to them and narrowed his eyes " Now....ya two shall make fine...dinner guests"

Ray gulps "That's...that's fine, we already ate dinner"

Molly nods quickly "Yeah yeah....not hungry"

Markalaway just grabbed them and dragged them off, if they kicked and screamed, he didn't pay them any mind "That's fine...Basil likely is, he needs a midnight snack...."

The two looked at one another "Basil?"

The Undertaker didn't answer as he took them to the chieftain, waking her was likely not the best idea but he was sure she wouldn't mind giving Basil a snack.

The two would very quickly learn Basil was a snake, who unlike the chieftain likely would enjoy being woke up in the middle of the night since he likely rarely got ....

Such delightful treats for dinner!

once she found out what they had done, blisa was more than happy to feed them to basilisk the snake. basil, for his part, merely complained (after he had eaten them) that they tasted better with cheese.
