LOG:
Krisha enters the tavern and glances around for anyone she knows and frowns, "He's not here." She says quietly, but she will find a place to sit down.

Oz follows Krisha "I am sure he will show up soon prehaps?" Brother Cliff clears his throat "Whom is she looking for here of all places?" He frowns, it's clear the mouse has never been here "This place is creepy, look at it...oh never mind."

Patch is at a table with a couple ferrets betting on who wins a fight in the fighting pit...a tall rat or a short weasel, well the weasel won so Patch is happy as he won some more gold. He glances at the badgers "Well...what's up now?"

Sitting in a corner is the Chieftain, Blisa, and 2 of her bodyguards, Ferdinand the ferret and Clarissa the rat. The cat is busy with paperwork, but she stops and waves at the little group of Redwallers before returning to the sheets of paper on the table in front of her. Outside, coming through the gates, is a trio of mice. Leading the way is a very angry-looking Angela, who is leaning heavily on her staff. "That accursed hare....when I catch 'im, 'e'll be sorry 'e ever even /saw/ Redwall..." "Nana, I don't think that's necessary," one of the other mice, DoraRose, begins, only to have her grandmother turn and threaten her with her staff. LilyMoore, the 3rd mouse, eeps and hides behind her mother, who just sways back a little and lets the top of the stick swish a couple of inches away from her nose. "Don't gimme cheek! An' that stoat left the Infirm without permission, as well..." The elderly Healer really wants to smack somebody with her stick right now....

Krisha looks over as she sees the familiar mice, or least a couple are familiar" So...do we order lu...unch or wait?" She sighs why can't her father just show up, she would fell better if he did. Meanwhile a couple Martens are arguing and shoving each other nearby.

Patch walks over and nods a hello "Hello to you Redwall beasts...how is,..." He looks to the fighting martens and rolls his eyes. "Take it to the fighting pit goodness" He mutters. Oz raises an eyebrow at Patch as he hears the fighting, but this is a vermin tavern and he just stays seated, well for a short while. "We could go closer to the front perhaps" He says quietly as the mouse brother states "Or go home"

Glaring at the martens, Blisa growls at them, "Take it to the pit or take it outside the gates!" She doesn't feel like dealing with this sort of thing. Dora manages to wrestle her grandmother's staff out of her grasp. "Nana, please, we're in Ferravale. Let's go get lunch, and if you see Marek, then please don't hit him. We can talk to him, and then go say hi to Blisa. Okay?" Angela just scowls, but she lets Lily support her as they enter the tavern. "Momma, look, there's Oz and Krisha and Brother Cliff. Hi, there!" The ever-friendly mousemaid waves with her other paw at the group of her fellow Redwallers. And at the Chieftain, once she spots her.

Krisha smiles as she stands, finally someone she knows as she heads over to the other Redwallers "Hello....we came and got mint and some other sort of tea leaves"

Patch waves a paw at the two martens "Away...shoo thank you have a good day" Brother Cliff decides he is heading home. "I am heading home you can tag along home with Dorarose and them..." Oz sighs as he nods, oh well he can stay a little longer.

Skipping into the tavern is the hare Zolomon, his eyes go wide when he sees the old mousemaid and quickly tries to get past her, he pats Oz on the shoulder "You didn't see me...right, right...." He gets an annoyed grumble from the badger as the hare goes to hide in a darken corner of the tavern.

Marek comes in from his quarters upstairs, his presence being announced by the steady clack of the temporary cane he is using. Examining the scenario he is surprised to see so many woodland beasts in his tavern. "Ah good morning, Mr. Zolomon I....Ms. Angela? Mr. Oz? Lilymoore? What brings you to Ferravale?" gesturing towards the bar indicating that Patch should be serving drinks he walks towards the group and smiles. "Nevertheless, it is a pleasant surprise to see you all after the numerous unpleasant days I have been having since my return".

LilyMoore's smile brightens when she spots her friend. "Nana wanted to hit you with a stick, so Momma came along to make sure she didn't get mugged on the way here and I came so I could hang out with you!" Angela has so very much noticed the hare, and she snags her staff from her granddaughter's paws and hobbles off after him. "Get back 'ere, you!" Dora just covers her eyes with a paw and groans. "Why is this my life?" Blisa, Ferdinand, and Clarissa are sitting in a corner, ignoring all the drama around them...for now. Lily, having been freed from making sure that her great-grandmother doesn't fall over, walks over to the stoat and goes to give him a gentle hug.

Krisha frowns as she excuses herself "I...be back soon" She has decided to look for her father herself and it's just too crowded here as she says "excuse me" a couple times and bumps into one of the martens from earlier and goes to try and get around him only to be stopped by the other one "It's a badger maid, Claw...." "Ya I see Dagger...." Krisha starts to get nervous, being cornered is not good for her, "M..my father is..." She is interrupted as one goes to grab her by the collar of her robe "The blind one...what's he gonna do?" She frowns and tries to say something else her voice failing her now.

Patch nods to Marek, he is just glad he can still serve up drinks as he asks "Ale? Tea? Water?" He adds "We also have fish stew and scones..." Oz frowns as Krisha walks off but there is too much noise in here to totally focus on how far she walked. Meanwhile Zolomon gulps and just waves at the Redwallers "Jolly good day right?"

Marek nods and sits down. "I see, well it is nice to see you" he follows Angela and Zolomon across the room with his eyes as they run around the tavern and then turns to Krisha. "And you are...? I don't believe we have met yet"

The tavern may be somewhat calm, or it was 'til an already annoyed Monitor comes into the tavern. He sees Marek and the Redwall beasts, what ever he can sit elsewhere, then his eyes land on the martens as he snorts, "Taverns..." He mutters, he then freezes when he hears Krisha's voice and his eyes narrow as he spins around and walks over behind the martens and goes to use his tail to slam one into the nearby table and hiss at the other one catching his words, "The blind one issssssss nott...I am...releassssssssssse my daughter or death comes for you sssssssscums" Ummm...he is just a little, maybe a tad...ticked off!

LilyMoore sits beside her friend, her smile vanishing as she sees the fight brewing. Dora, before she hears the marten's words, said to Oz, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Ferravale? I could've come as your armed escort..." then she hears potential chaos and turns around. She only has her sword, but that's good enough for her. But then the monitor happens and the mouse Warrior relaxes. Yeah, he can handle that. The Chieftain's bodyguards are watching the spectacle, but Blisa is ignoring it. Angela, meanwhile is trying to corner the hare. "Oh, aye, 'tis a great day, alright." Glancing at the whole monitor/marten thing goin' on, she goes to grab hold of the hare's ear (he has the potential to be snarkier than the stoat).

Krisha struggles and gasps as one marten goes flying into a table that breaks in half, and the rats playing cards quickly back off as they look at the knocked out bleeding Marten. The other just chuckles "Or what stri..." He pales, "You're not a badger...you're a freaking monitor!!!" He does the smart thing and quickly lets go of Krisha who quickly goes over to the Redwallers and watches what happens next. "D...Don't" The marten looks ready to wet himself "Don't eat me!!"

Oz starts to answer her and frowns "What is going on now?" Patch just frowns "Chaos...hey no not the table!" Zolomon meanwhile fails to get away from the grumpy old mousemaid, "Hey let go the ear Ms. A...." Patch just frowns as he says the wrong thing next "Why is the old coot so moody?"

Marek notices the chaos and sighs, standing and brandishing his cane in both hands as a weapon at the leftover martens that haven't been nearly squashed by Ferro. "NO REDWALL BEASTS WILL BE HARMED IN MY TAVERN!" he shouts with an air of authority that silences most of the tavern. With almost Angela-like precision he knocks out one random tavern beast who questioned his authority with his cane before glaring into the crowd.

Ferro takes a couple deep breaths and bares his teeth at the Marten he holds in his claws now. "Leave..." He will then drop the marten to allow him to run, if he is smart and values his life, and goes to check on Krisha "Are you alright Krisha?" His tone a lot less...harsh and cold, it has worry and concern in it now.

LilyMoore watches all this, wide-eyed and silent. DoraRose has her paw on her sword hilt as she watches the action carefully. She is alert, and thankful that Ferravale and the Abbey have a peace treaty. "Or in my village," Blisa adds to what the stoat said from her seat in the corner, her jade green eyes hard as she glares at everyone in the tavern. "If anybeast harms a Redwaller, no matter who either party is, I shall deal with the villager....harshly." And since she has a snake and is rumoured to be insane, it'd be best to take her seriously. The silence is then broken by Angela's infuriated bellow. "OLD COOT?!" She goes to grab hold of the rat's snout. "How DARE y'call me that! I oughta tan yer 'ide and teach y'to respect yer elders and betters!" Bet you a walnut that nobody'll save Patch from his fate....

Krisha hugs the monitor, meanwhile the marten has passes out from fear of being eatten and lays on the floor now, the other still on the broken table. "I...I am ok...father"

Patch errks as his snout is grabbed and this is Patch we speak of, "Let...go me old hag!!!" Oz frowns and moves slightly to give the old mousemaid some more room as Zolomon backs away quickly and shakes his head as the rat insults the mousemaid more, "Bad choice words Patch...." He sits in a chair and glances over at Krisha and Ferro before looking to the group "Guess all is well over there huh Mr. M"

Marek sits down, satisfied that the threat has been thoroughly dealt with, only to facepalm at the sight of Patch struggling in Angela's grasp. "Can you not go one day without angering somebeast, Patch?" he turns back to Krisha. "Now what was your name, child? My name is Marek and this is my tavern. And might I add that Mr. Oz is far more capable of defending himself than you may think. Looks can be deceiving"

Ferro nods and looks between the beasts and the broken table "I can payssssssssssss for that..." He sits down finally and nods a hello to the others, a few beasts have decided to not sit too close to the table suddenly.

LilyMoore goes to hug the stoat, kind of hiding from her great-grandmother, who is beyond furious right now. "Hag?!" Well, in the Northlands someone did say that she was Baba Yaga come to life, so this is actually not a new insult. "I'll teach y'to insult me, /vermin/," Angela hisses in a dangerously low voice. She then goes to drag the rat out by his nose. She heads for the Infirmary; she aims to make him her slave for a couple of days BECAUSE HE'S RUDE. DoraRose watches this, then chases after her grandmother. "Hey -- hey, Nana, that -- that may not be a good idea!" Then they're gone. It shows a good deal of trust on the Warrior's part to leave her daughter with the stoat in a tavern in a vermin town. Blisa stands and comes over after gathering up all her papers. "Hey, Lily, let's go get you settled so Basil knows that you guys are here." The mousemaid nods and waves to her friends. The Chieftain waves, as well. "I'll let you and Marek work out the details of the table, Ferro. Thanks for dealing with those ruffians." And then they're gone, too.
