==enjoy==

Drake had drifted off, not the best thing to do and it’s a surprise he is even able to be awake as he looks around, yep not some dream they are in An old mine tunnel   

Cynthia sits against a wall, her shoulder is a little swollen as she sighs and looks over at Drake just to give him a glare.   

Drake tilts his head as he speaks quietly “What? You know we could of been far from here but nooooo.....things got all worse." Some digging has been done but it’s not cleared it out enough yet. There was a small hole and then it got covered again and everyone of getting tried now.   

Bandit continues like a beast of burden. The thought of sharing a tomb with the likes of Drake fuels his desire for escape. His breath is labored and his motions are beginning to slow...   

Cynthia just shakes her head "Drake......I still would of not gone with you." She is beginning to lose hope and that’s never a good sign.   

Drake rolls his eyes and goes to try and move some rock. He looks at Bandit "Least this is...tireing you out...that’s good...you won’t follow me when I walk away"   

Bandit pauses to say, "What makes you think any of us are walking away from this?" The fox sits back, chest heaving and he leans his head against the wall, "This is it Drake. This is where we all die."   

Drake snorts, bit he also is not a fool as he seems to have finally figured out this is serious and it is harder to breath..."What....whatever...least I still win...still get my revenge on those foolish Defenders and Abbey beasts."   

Cynthia is unsure what comes over her, maybe the fact she could die and it’s the other mouse’s fault as she screams and rushes forwards to suddenly give a series of punches and kicks to Drake, unless he moves then she will still try and punch him! What happen to I hate violence?   

Bandit leans back in shock. "Cynthia!" He struggles to sit up, falling back down. Between his wound, the lack of air, and his own poor health, he is rooted to the spot.   

Drake was not expecting this at all, the maid had seemed to give up and listen to him. He manages to avoid one punch and another gets him in the arm, a kick connects with his leg as he crawls away and goes to shove her away from him as he coughs and has some cuts and bruises from starting to try and dig. Yeah he most likely deserves this, but still he is surprised.   

Cynthia feels herself go backwards and hits the mine wall and then slumps down it unconcious...not a good thing right now.   

"Cynthia!" The fox manages to finally get to his feet, lumbering over to her still form. He looks back to the other mouse, channeling as much hate as he can muster through his eyes. "You, did this." he stands, something flashes across his face. The fat, jovial head guard is replaced with something more... feral. "You got us all killed you greedy, self-centered..."   

Like an approaching monster Bandit looms over Drake. "Dig." he says bluntly. "You dig until your paws bleed, and then you dig some more VERMIN. Or so help me the last sound you hear on this earth will be the sound of me breaking every bone in your wretched body!" he commands.   

Drake backs up quickly as the fox gets nearer to him and is afraid and it shows. He gets his dagger and flicks it at the fox best he can while shaking and decides to obey and dig, he is fairly good at digging and some progress is made, a little anyways is made, least he is working now to get out, if anything to get away from the fox!   

Cynthia is alive, so that’s good and her breathing is semi-normal but she is hurt as the shove and the wall dislocated her shoulder. She will be unconcious for a little while yet.   

The fox let's out a gasp as the dagger hits home, sliding halfway into his belly. Normally there would be a chainmail tunic there to protect him, but the fox has grown a little too fat for it cover him completely. He falls backwards, clutching the blade protruding into him with shock. His mouth opens and closes, unable to form words beyond the shock flowing through him.   

Drake still just digs and causes a lot of stones to tumble, no hole is made but a good deal is moved away....still no hole is formed unless it’s a small crack and that won’t help much at all as he coughs and stops as he finds it harder to breath now, too much work...too quickly.   

Cynthia groans weakly and tenses up in pain as she holds her shoulder and manages to get in a few deep breaths before coughing and opens her eyes half way, but she is only semi- conscious   

The mouse is on his own now, his only source of help defeated. Bandit leans backward, laying on the ground and laughing. He always knew it would come down to this... not quite THIS, but meeting his end in such an inglorious way. Honestly, he always pictured there to be more monitor lizards involved...
   
Patch makes it to the mine shaft and frowns "This is it....if they are still alive”
   
Xander follows and frowns as he studies the cave in and goes to start clearing some of the heavier rocks very carefully.   

Blisa lets the 3 moles direct the excavation, because obviously. They start telling the 8 beasts who volunteered where to dig and where to put the boards for shoring. They start tackling the rocks and soil with shovels and their bare paws. As her bodyguards join in, casting aside weapons and rolling up their sleeves, the Chieftain crawls up on Hank's back (he obliges mostly because she's not using her sharp little claws) and calls out, "Can any beast hear me?" Hey, she's petite and not as strong as some other people, and they need to try and create contact to see if the 3 trapped beasts are still alive.   

Cynthia groans, voices? She isn’t sure as she is out of it and the air is very thin now, but a hole to the outside is soon to be made, but not just yet.   

Drake is near passing out when he hears someone "Hey...." He says weakly and coughs, yeah too weak and tried to yell out..maybe the fox will end him before lack of air does or before that air is found again, he is not caring right now.   

The fox doesn't seem to respond at first. He can't bring himself to sit up, let alone murder the /rat/ that just tried to kill him. "H-help." He stammers. "H-help!" he says again.   

Patch listens and grins "Well some beast is still alive" He hopes its all of them as he looks around "Weak...spot.....and we get them out and never have any other beast use this place again I say"   

Xander helps move a large rock and coughs as a large amount of rocks and dust fall, but...it opens up a hole, not a large one but...now there is AIR! He steps back and blinks, yep a hole, one can maybe see inside but it’s unclear if anyone can safely get inside or make this hole bigger as they would have to be very very careful.

   
The moles starts directing the volunteers (and Xander, and whoever else is helping) to shore up the hole! Ferdinand grabs a bellows that they borrowed (stole) from the Blacksmith from out of the wagon and starts having a whispered conversation with one of the moles. Blisa's ears perk at the sound of voices inside the tunnel. "Hey, we're here! We'll save you! Who all is alive in there?" The moles continue to direct a very careful excavation and shoring up. They've all slowed down significantly now that they have an air hole cleared. Meanwhile, DoraRose is angry. Drake kidnapped her daughter-in-law, and she is furious! And so she took it upon herself to find them and kill the kidnapper! She left a note for Leon, but she left before he woke up. She hears the sound of voices and draws near the party of rescuers....   

Cynthia is inside and slipping in and out of consciousness as she starts to breathe a little better but her shoulder is swollen from dislocation and a cut on it and upper arm as well of the same arm. She is covered in dust and has some blood on her paws a little.   

Drake scoots back as he coughs. His paws have cuts and swollen knuckles from digging and his tunic and pants are ruined from tears and dirt, some mud also as he groans and takes a few deep breaths "Air...OH YES ITS AIR...AIR IS GOOD!" He chuckles a little and then frowns, yeah he is most likely in deep....deep trouble and he has no energy to fight back or even run.   

Patch stays back and lets the others help whom are better at it and seems to decide he rather go elsewhere and goes to walk off, only to walk upon Dorarose's path and stops.
   
The fox breaths heavily, wounded with a cut to his leg, bruises over his body, and a knife in his gut. "In here! Cynthia is in here!" This may be his last adventure. He may even die. But at least he knows he did something good before passing out.   

Xander helps with a support beam, eve n if its temporary....he looks to Blisa "What else can I do?"   

A mole goes to tap the badger's arm and holds a shovel out to him. "Hurr, dig 'ere, please, zurr. Hurr, and go noice and slow, too..." Blisa lets the moles be in charge of that since they know all about digging and things, and instead she relaxes at the sound of her Head Guard's voice. "Okay, great! Thank you! Don't worry, we'll get you out of there!" As the rest of the beasts continue to follow the moles' instructions about digging, the young cat slips down off of Hank's shoulders and starts helping pull small rocks out from under the rescuer's feet so they don't slip and fall. Dora turns at the sound of footsteps, axe at the ready. She also has her sword because overkill isn't actually something she ever considers as bad when her family is in danger. "Who's there? Oh, Patch, hello." She relaxes. "I'm looking for Cynthia. I heard that Drake kidnapped her again. Have you seen them?"   

Cynthia is a little more awake and as she becomes more alert the pain increases as she tenses up.   

Drake looks at the mouse maid and the fox, he could so just stab him again and end his life, but then again...too tried and weak to move or run. This is just great...well not really as more and more of the entry is cleared so rescuers can get inside better.   

Patch frowns "I know where she is...didn’t see her but she is alive..I think and Drake and Bandit is there too in some mine shaft that caved in, but it was just cleared so all is well...almost"   

Xander nods and digs slowly and carefully as the entry is more clear now and he smiles, "Yeah we should seal this place up after this, too dangerous"
   
Blisa says, "If Drake is in there, arrest him immediately. Unless he's dead, and then just leave his body and we'll seal it in there to rot." The bodyguards nods and continue to do their thing....all except for Valerie, who has found some herbs nearby that she thinks she may need for whatever injuries the trapped beasts may have received. "Xander, would you please be in charge of sealing this up later?" Dora Rose’s eyes widen, and she goes to grab the rat's arm. "Take me there!" Don't tell her no?   

Cynthia sits up a little and quickly regrets it as she yells out in pain and holds her shoulder and leans back onto the wall with tears on her face.   

Drake is alive and suddenly wishes he wasn’t as he stands and goes to flee, only to trip over the passed out Bandit and groans, ok he gives up ...drag him to a cell.   

Patch gulps "Yes sir...Madame.....ummm....this way!" He leads the way and nods to the now cleared entry of the mine tunnel   

Xander nods "I can do that..not to worry" He will stay to make sure all goes well and report back later

Following the rat spy, Dora Rose’s blue eyes flash because she's ready to MURDERIFY Drake. As they come in sight of the tunnel, she jogs ahead of him. The moles direct the shoring up of the hole, urging everyone to work quickly because of how unsafe the tunnels are. Valerie, Hank, and Clarissa hurry in and go to drag Bandit out, and then they return to get the mice. Ferdinand gets his sabre and....then notices the mad mouse Warrior and decides to let Dora handle Drake. She's fully capable. Blisa looks up at the Warrior. "Oh, good, you're here. Hi."   

Cynthia looks over at Dorarose and starts to speak but she is tried, sore and in a lot of pain. She has dirt tangling her fur and she looks depressed.   

Drake sees Dorarose and goes pale, and stands only to fall back onto his bottom "Go..go away..."One look at Dorarose he has most likely wet himself.
   
Patch has gotten the maid there and now he needs an ale at the tavern, he has so earned it and decides to head off.   

Blisa goes to help Valerie help Cynthia. "Hey, it's okay. We won't let him hurt you, okay? Let's get you out into the sunlight." The cat smiles gently. Clarissa had been aiming to get Drake out of the tunnel, but then she sees the look of pure FURY on the mouse Warrior's face and decides to slowly leave the tunnel. DoraRose glares at the kidnapper. "Go away?! You kidnapped my daughter-in-law, you coward! I'm not just gonna /walk away/. You harmed my family, and you're gonna /pay/." She hefts her axe as the vermin back away a little. The moles just ignore her and look worriedly at the temporary support beams. They obviously think that it won't hold for very long.   

Cynthia nods and will allow the help out of the tunnel, she walks slowly and looks ready to pass out again   

Drake frowns "I....we should go out....PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!" He looks fearful, the most he been in his life and faints, well he will easyly be carried out as the new support beams make a bad bad noise, may be best to leave....like now!

Blisa poufs up at the sound and looks back at the Warrior. "Get him out of there, you can kill him later!" DoraRose drops her axe on the ground beside the wagon, rushes forward, and goes to grab the other mouse by his ankle. She then goes to hurriedly drag him out into the open as the moles bellow for everyone to run away! The volunteers and bodyguards are hollering at the Warrior to hurry and not get trapped!   

Cynthia looks over at the sound and frowns deeply. Will they have to reopen this tunnel again?   

Drake is dragged out and bumps along the ground a couple times causing more bruises and maybe a broken ankle. Then more chaos as it is one of those OMG moments as crashing and rocks, dust and well looks like no one will need to make sure it’s sealed, it seals itself just as Dorarose gets both her foot paws a few feet away! No one is inside as the mine tunnel makes it's self unusable, Drake opens his eyes and then faints again as he sees how he just missed death, maybe twice in a minute.   

Blisa freezes, all poufy and freaked-out looking. "OhmygoodnessDoraRoseareyouokay?!" The Warrior looks at the collapsed tunnel, her eyes wide. Oh, she just almost /died/, yo! Looking down at her enemy, she snorts. "Someone wake him up, please." Al the volunteers and bodyguards just stand there like 'She is not panicking why now?' Except for Valerie, who goes to guide Cynthia to a nearby rock, away from the mine entrance. "Well, it looks like everyone's okay, sort of. Where are you hurt?"
   
Cynthia frowns "Shoulder..." Its dislocated and hurts badly and there is a gash on the same upper arm. Some bruises and cuts and matted fur.   

Drake groans as his eyes flutter open and then he sees...Dorarose and frowns, this may or may not be a good thing to wake up to.   

Blisa coughs and starts directing the volunteers and her bodyguards to gather up shovels and the Head Guard while the moles survey the mine entrance. DoraRose goes to lift the male mouse up by the front of his tunic and holds his face close to hers. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just break your neck right here, right now?" She's planning on locking him up in Ferravale for a while, but he doesn't have to know that just yet.   

Cynthia lets healers tend to her as some tears go down her face" When...when can I go home?"       

Drake looks unsure"I..I...Cynthia belongs with me....."   

Blisa makes sure everyone is ready to go when necessary. Valerie smiles and says in a soothing voice, "On Saturday, okay? I wanna keep you under observation for a couple days to make sure you don't have any unseen injuries...." she continues to talk soothingly and comfortingly as she goes to help the mouse with her wounds and hopefully load her up in the wagon. She'll let a stronger Healer reset the shoulder. DoraRose growls deeply in her throat and goes to set Drake on his feet and, before he can do anything else, goes to give him a 1-2 punch in the face with both of her strong, Warrior, battleaxe- and war hammer-wielding paws. Sniffing, she calls, "Hey, can some beast tie this loser up and lock him in a cell for me? I'll fight him when he's healed up a bit."   

Drake is uneasy on his foot paws and before he can run he is knocked out cold and lands on the ground with a thump.....a guard goes to tie him up and gets Drake to a cell.

Blisa makes sure that everyone is together, and then they go to all head back to Ferravale, DoraRose following, carrying her axe again.  She is going to challenge Drake to a fight when he's healed a bit....

Drake is placed in a cell, they are nice enough to tend to any wounds he has and his cell in the special one by the chieftain's office and double guarded
