Finding The Weather Vane-Redwall LOG

Gorvenalus looked around "This snow is likely gonna be around for weeks." As he spoke it started to lightly snow, adding just a little snow to the snow already on the ground."Of course, we can expect more snow to add to it over the next few weeks also."

Velm was here bundled in his thick cloak and frowned "I bally well hate snow old chap, I should have rethought me plan ta come here in winter."

Anil watches from where he is perched on a nearby sort of..ledge, oh wait it's the arm of a bench.

Gorvenalus chuckles as he watches the moles make some paths. He speaks with Foremole briefly before going back to the others "Foremole says we have made it to the Rose Garen, now let's be careful everyone and see if we can find the weather vane."

Krisha had come out to make sure no one got too cold or tried. She also was helping with hot drinks of cider and tea. She has a couple novice pass the tea and cider out.

Xander was doing fairly well carrying the large tray along the path, he took his time and moved slowly. He slipped once on the way back but just took a deep breath and stood back up and went to sit by the door leading to the dorms.

Oz and the dibbuns peered outside a short way, but they still could not come out to play in the snow, to think too much snow for playing it...oh well.

Velm hmmphed as he glanced around for anything out of place in the snow. "Too much snow to bally well find much I say"

Gorvenalus sighed as he keeps the group cheered up "I am sure we will find it soon, the sparrows said it fell in this area after all"

Anil seeing the Badger Mother flew over to land on her shoulder, he seemed very pleased with himself as his flying was getting better and his spang wing was better.

Krisha smiled "Hello Anil, howum is you?" She looked to where the other dibbuns were and gently lowered Anil down "Here play withum the abbeyyoungones ...makeum a friend"

Oz was already friends and right away went towards Anil "Birdie....hihihihi.....plays?"

A couple of dibbun voles grew curious and others just went back to the playroom being unsure of the sparrow right now.

Xander went to help keep an eye on the dibbuns inside.

Velm studied a pile of snow and went to lean on the snow wall "I say chaps this is like searching for a blooming needle in a....OWWWWWWWWWCH!" He cried out and jumped forewards as if something stabbed him, the back of his thick cloak now had a small tear, he felt with a paw and then dug a little"Aha!" It was one of the weather vane tips...the North tip in fact.

Gorvenalus came over, and one of the moles chuckled "Burrr haa haa ya be afindin' it Mr. Velm" The moles go to take over carefully digging up the weather vane.

Krisha made her way over "You ok Velm?" She glances at the cloak"Easily sewn....and no blood, you just got slightly jabbed ...your be fine."

Velm frowned as he rubbed his back "Fine ya say, tis a blooming wound lass." When he gets to the infirm he will learn it only slightly broke the skin, maybe it's a little bruised and red but didn't draw blood.

Anil meanwhile smiles best a bird can, "Friends?" He asks "Whyum.....friendie nots haveum...feathers?" He tilts his head"Falls off?"

Oz seems to think about this and shrugs. He jumps up and down a couple times as he attempts to fly and of course fails seeing as he is a badger. He frowns and shrugs again "Not.....not knows..."

Gorvenaluswatches as the moles manage to clear more of the weather vane free and have some stronger beasts gently pull, letting the moles say when to pull and when to stop, it takes a couple of hours but the weather vane is soon freed from the snow and carefully brought inside.

Krisha walks over to scoop up Oz and smiles at Anil "We haveum fur, only birds haveum feathers" A smile as she lets Anil go to her shoulder if he wants and goes to head inside as well" We need to see where Benar wants to keep the weather vane, need a safe place for it till likely spring sometime. Also, we should work some more on the paths to the kitchen yard but that can wait till tomorrow."

So far a path was made from the main hall to the gatehouse and Champion Cottage. Another path leads to the graveyard and one path leads to the Rose Garden. There was a path being started to the Bell Tower and one slowly heading to the Kitchen Yard, but the one to the Kitchen Yard still was only half done as a small bit did get messed up and will need to be cleared again.

Inside lunch was simple cheese and bread with a salad and something to drink. Dinner smelled like it was gonna be vegetable soup.

Gorvenalus walked in and sat down and made sure to write down things for the Redwall logs later on. He put his journal away and leaned back "I do hope our friends elsewhere are ok"

Krisha speaks "I am sure they will let us know anything important somehow Brother Gorvenalus. I am sure our friends at Camp Willow, GUOSIM, and Ferrvale is ok. I spoke to the Sparra and they are doing well for winter, a little low on food but otherwise warm and safe up in the loft where they live. There are not as many of them now, but we can always find out more later if they wish to share."

Chestnut chooses now to fly down and land near Krisha "Sparra haveum 15 birds....4 eggchick as well. Other Sparra flies off...fear ratworms from before part of...also some nolikeum Old King..some stillum do. Old Quickbeck still there....beum old old old and wise, too old do much."

Krisha  listens and nods "Thankyou Queen Chestnut, it is good we are still allies"

Chestnut nods"Stillum allies yes...Abbeyworms still friendworms  to Sparra evermore. Maybe Queen Chestnut come chat more withum Abbeyworms....maybe" She is still unsure, the Sparra Afterall rarely speak with the Abbeyworms, yes they help defend the abbey as...well if the abbey ever falls they would also be in danger, yes they could fly away but this place is also their home so they too fight for it, the rats, however...seemed to freak most of the sparrows out though.

Gorvenalus would reply but he has fallen asleep in his chair, its been a long day.

Krisha smiles, she motions Anil to head back to the loft with Chestnut since his flying is better now.

Anil pouts, wait can a bird pout?...anyways he does and then follows his mother back to the loft.

Chestnut gets back to the loft and checks around to make sure her fellow sparrows are ok, are warm, and cozy. She fixes Quickbeck's nest and a couple of others then goes back to her own nest to sleep.
